I'm still undecided on the Switch (especially regarding the online features), but the appeal of playing Zelda and Mario games on the go is pretty appealing. Here's hoping Nintendo clears up a lot of those concerns prior to launch next month.

I'm still wavering on the Switch as well. I've got one pre-ordered, but I'm not sure if it's going to be for me, regardless of how awesome Super Mario Odyssey looks. Will have to see how this next month plays out and what Nintendo shares in terms of new information, especially in regards to the Virtual Console.

I didn't manage to snag a preorder before they ran out, but I have my plans figured out.
Hoping to get one day 1 then spend the weekend walking around town playing it for exercise and a change of pace.

So you havnt preordered switch yet? Nintendo are reopening orders again so you should be able to order one if you keep an eye out.

wonderfulmonkeyman2668d ago

Yeah, I'm gonna keep an eye out at my Gamestop and the nearby Target stores, but at the moment neither one have new stock for their preorders.
The waiting is killing me more than I thought it would, tbh. Thank God my Wii U and 3DS both give me plenty of backlog to play.

WAIT- It's not only a portable but its also going to have a "Nintendo exclusive" Game Library?!?! Yeah worth it !
The price of seeing a Monster Hunter Game on it with these Graphics (Talking about you ZBOTW) SOOO worth It! Reminding me how fun games can be in a portable setting and easy and quick it is to share a game with your friend. Enjoying Awesome Story Driven Games on it on the go or at the house , in between classes when you at the gym or when you just gotta know what the heck happened to Link this Time! All the while playing a race game with an Amigo WITH ACTUAL "Controllers" so no one has to get their grubby hands on my screen lol wooorth it. Fighting games at any moment is literally being in the Pokemon world but for any two + player game.

The Nintendo Switch is only costing me $140 USD in my country(New Zealand) after a Wii U trade in credit to preorder the Switch. That is all I now have to pay on March 3. If it wasn't for that deal I wouldn't be buying one as in my country (New Zealand) it is too expensive for what The Switch is in my opinion. We have to pay $399 US for a new Nintendo Switch($549 NZ dollars). I wasn't going to do that and had ruled it out until seeing this retailer deal for the trade credit, so after doing the trade in, I need to pay $149 USD on pick up day as the remaining balance on March 3. The Wii U was only going to be put in a wardrobe and forgotten about anyway so trading it in so we can get the new Switch on a huge discount made sense. Now I can enjoy the Nintendo exclusives for a good price. My partner did the same deal so we are both getting a Switch at a great price.

The Digital Dragons 2024 conference event was a huge success story

"Three days filled with specialist lectures delivered by almost 200 speakers, three thematic summits, and over 2600 guests from almost every corner of the world - the capital of Małopolska became the capital of the games industry for a few days.

Organized by the Krakow Technology Park, the Digital Dragons Conference once again showed that Poland is attracting more and more attention from the world's biggest industry tycoons for a reason." - Digital Dragons.
