That Nintendo, Big N, Ninty, Wii U & 3DS thread (R.I.P. Wii U)

[northside7]

I got mine 2 days before release. Got an extra controller too.

Preordered it from the Nintendo online store back in July.

They weren't doing pre-orders across the pond for whatever reason.

What side of the pond are you on?

Canada.

I always thought you were a UK head.

Wasn't always gonna be a limited release though?

I remember reading that back in the summer.

In any case I'm gonna have to check Nintendo New York in a week or 2 and see what's up.

My NES has damn near permanent blinking color screen at this point so I could use this shit even if it will never take my nintendo tapes.

FYI. The UK Nintendo Online store are saying they'll be getting new stock in December.

 

[zzombie]

They released Pokémon Go then Sun and Moon after interest was built. Hopefully this marks and translates into Switch sales

 

[MorganFreemanKing]

is $250 a good price?

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Leads me to believes its underpowered, since Nintendo don't sell their consoles at a loss. Not to my knowledge any way.

Hopefully its got enough juice for AAAs and Nintendo is bankin' on mad sales

I was expecting it to be $299 for the handheld and $399 for the handheld + dock.

It's not about it being underpowered. Is about the technology now being cheaper. Time flies but you guys forget this tech was cutting edge 5 years back thus more expensive to mass produce. Now it's just the current standard. For this same reason Sony and Microsoft are also selling their platforms at sub $300.

 

[Broddie]

Also Wii U sold at a loss in the beginning but it eventually turned a good enough profit at that point for them to stick with it for another 2 years.

No, not yet.
