*revives* Now that we have the official release date and announced launch games, how is everyone feeling? I'm so torn, it's being released on a particularly special day for me (), but I didn't jump on preorders and I don't know if I want to be super diligent to ensure getting one on release day. I remember the nightmare when the Wii was released, and based on early Amiibo releases and the NES Classic, this will probably be just as hard.Also, kind of disappointed online features are going to be subscription based now; as a casual player who only really uses online for Pokemon, I will have a hard time justifying it (and kind of kills Mario Maker for me since I'm a late comer in picking it up, but really want it). The whole, game of the month does sound like a fun perk though.
Nintendo is really disappointing me lately. I can't believe how they handled the Mini Nes Classic, creating false demand. It's obvious they'll produce enough to meet demand, they'd be insane not too, so releasing such a limited supply at Christmas was just cruel. How many people caved to scalpers' insane prices instead of just waiting?And now the price of the Switch with the 'Australia Tax' is $470... in the US it's $300USD... I'll demonstrate below why I don't know if I will be buying a Switch or not this year... and if I do I'm considering importing it from Japan for goodness sake.(the following prices are rounded up to the dollar)SwitchUS Price = $300 USDExchange = $400 AUDAUS Price = $470 AUDConverted: $470 AUD = $352 USD ($52 USD / $70 AUD more)Now if you want the new Zelda game with it, well...Switch + GameUS Price = $360 USDExchange = $480 AUDAUS Price = $560 AUDConverted: $560 AUD = $420 USD ($60 USD / $80 AUD more)Americans can buy the console and a game for $360 USD, just about $10 more than we pay for the console alone ($352 USD)... as the currency conversion currently stands.Nintendo, please explain...PS. Sorry I got into a bit of a rant, us Australians are just a bit fed up with the Australia Tax in the gaming industry
