Switch Nintendo Switch News (Articles, Accessories and Everything Else)

I read on whirlpool that JB is sold out nation wide. I remember my local store said in March that fresh stock wouldn't come in until MK8'S release.

Some EB's still have stock.
Retail is hit and miss I believe most Big Ws are sold out. Some Targets would be too, but there are others where stock is plentiful (One store I pass through regularly) has a whole cabinet full while others have 8 or less.

Funny thing is most places have more accessories than they know whatto do with.

It's only the US (and possibly Japan) where there are real shortage issues. EB, JB, Target and Big W all have the console in stock online. Possibly in store that's different but no one should have a problem getting one here in any case.

Supposedly delayed until 12th May because Nintendo hates Australia.

What a game. I remember playing that in 1998 on my game boy. Glad to see Nintendo have come so far.

Much like Fifa, they've evolved it with every release, this time they have neon blocks..

Delayed on PS4 as well.

If only i could see how much time I've spent on the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo, i'd be pushing 50 hours for sure.

Wife is happy with the delay, she was off to Melbourne on launch day so now I can't get a head start on the other modes.

Nintendo really need to sort out their Aus distributors though.

Got an 8 hour international flight that I was hoping to do some serious tetris on, pretty miffed

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

Has there been any explanation for the delay? Seems pretty weird, the release date has been locked in for a while.

I mean it wasn't going to get much time with me due to Mario Kart but it's still a bit weird.

Only affects the physical edition. Digital release on the eshop is still set for the 27th.

I'll have Mario Kart to get me through the delay and the demo to tide me over until the 12th.

Just create a US/Jap account and buy from there. It's all the same. You can buy eshop money from Amazon to purchase through those stores.

I'm prepared got the pro controller, screen protector, microsd card and now some Nintendo $$ to spend on the eshop

Just need the Switch itself!

Switch purchased, just need a time machine to jump ahead so I can download and play Mario Kart.

Just bought Puyo Puyo Tetris and Snipper Clips off the E-Shop, now for Mario Kart hard copy in the morning

 

[midorigreenwood]

I've put in 200 hours into zelda but my bro stole my wiiu for a week to play it and I'm getting serious withdrawal symptoms.

So tempted to get a switch after work....

Hopefully jb has stock with Mari kart out

Hopefully will still be a few left. Earlier in the week I had read that stock at JB was gone nation wide... the website confirmed it. I checked the stock status (doing the in store pick up option) and it should be back in stock at most jbs now.

Downloaded Mario Kart earlier this morning, it looks and plays great. But I'm going to have to play online to get proper enjoyment from it. My online experience with the Switch is touch and go... obviously may need to game close to the router as the signal kept dropping dcing me from races.

 

[Premiers04]

Was never not going to get it but after trying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in handheld mode, purchase justified even more so.

Finally got enough games to give me the all software option on the home screen.

Tumbleseed and Kamiko to add to the list over the next few days.

 

[mickelboy182]

My condolences for actually buying bomberman

 

[Premiers04]

Meh, i enjoyed it enough to finish the single player.

Haven't played it since it's been patched, which has improved it considerably from what I've read.

Does anybody know how to turn driver assist off?

I only had time for a quick cup beforework but I couldn't seem to find a way to turn it off.
