I'll be in Japan during the launch and I was thinking about camping for it, never mind 

 

Girl wtf me too. I will be in Tokyo in for about two weeks (end of May ~ early Jun). They have a multi language system up for sale in Japan, but it's more expensive and only sold through My Nintendo Store.

450 USD? Oh we Canadians will be paying HUGE. Miiiight just hold off on pre-ordering.

I think I might see what the release will be like at the Nintendo Store in SF but I already know it's gonna be a mess.

[Haze]

Those Europe game prices are crazy.  Not a 20 euro bump. 

[Attitude]

How much are the games? European prices are showing 80-90 euros.

I'll be there at the same time too 

 

Saur do you think they will allow for pick up? 

[Katamari]

Wait since the switch has mouse controls could a port of league of legends or dita happen

[sunbathinganimal]

the way they're too cheap to include that lame ass tech demo as a pack-in 

[pigeon]

These prices are crazy like you can get PS5 slim cheaper than that

Those "upgrade" packs are about to be $40 a piece. 

 

 

[Bad News]

$80???

[Cruel Summer]

It's getting Elden Ring this year and will have switch classics like BOTW, TOTK, PLA, and the Xenoblades all presumably playable on day one, so that's it, I'm sold and signed up to preorder 

 

I think when all is said and done, this will have the best library of any console ever made.

Nintendo in their greedy era. It's like when our faves charge high concert ticket prices after one successful album.

We will have to wait. I hope they do though! I think they would want people to get the their hands on the system on launch date and not wait for shipping.
