So brickseek's inventory tracking is counting preordered units as in stock; I'm gonna try the other Walmart near me, but I may just be out of luck. Guess I should have preordered.

Tender Bender posted:Lol just realized the system is officially out and we still don't know whether we'll be able to play any virtual console titles we already own on this and how much they'll charge for the privilege. Well, there's no virtual console on Switch yet...nobody already owns any virtual console games for it.

Tender Bender posted:If they keep the Wii U "pay a dollar to rebuy titles you already own" thing, I won't be thrilled but it'd be ok. Honestly the portability is a huge selling point for VC stuff for me. Having SNES games on the go without smartphone emulator touchscreen crap would be great. You don't already own any Switch virtual console titles though. You won't have to pay a dollar to rebuy Switch virtual console titles. There may be a discount on Switch virtual console titles that correspond to 3DS or Wii/Wii U virtual console titles registered to your account though.

Kawabata posted:no the practice were talking about is forcing you to buy the same game twice Who is forcing you to buy a game? If you are being held hostage or are otherwise being forcibly coerced, try to call the police. Otherwise, you are not being forced to buy any games, let alone 2 separate ports of a retro title.

thexerox123 posted:Actually, Tender Bender never used the word Switch, you rephrased it to be able to contradict your own phrasing. Well in that case, Nintendo has never made anyone ever rebuy a game if they've already bought it once. Once you buy a game, even digitally, it's linked to your account and can be redownloaded at will.

Cojawfee posted:I don't know why you chose this as your hill to die on. Do you own stock in Virtual Console games or something? Nintendo sells us access to ROMs they downloaded from the internet and then wants us to pay again for those same ROMs. That's dumb. Same rom, different emulation. Buying an Xbox One game doesn't entitle you to the PS4 version; why should buying a Wii U game entitle you to a Switch version?

Cojawfee posted:That's the worst argument you can make as buying an Xbox 360 game (digitally) entitles me to download and play it on the Xbox One for free (assuming it is backwards compatible). Cool, Microsoft offers a bonus feature. That doesn't make it required. Or make not offering it anti-consumer.

I'm still on the fence about canceling it because I can't decide if the case is really cool or really lame. A single ruby, 5 bomb arrows, and the Switch T-Shirt. That's it.

So if you're like me, and have all the figurines and all the cards, you can easily scan in over 500 things a day.

Loopoo posted:I completed Zelda: BotW and was planning on selling my Switch onto someone else. However, I've discovered that there's no way for me to backup my save. So I'm pretty much stuck: there's no games coming out in the next few months that I'm interested in, so my console will just be collecting dust. The only thing stopping me from selling it is the fact I'd lose all my save data. Why not just hang on to your console? You probably aren't going to recoup your entire purchase price for it, and will be buying another one in a few months when the BotW DLC starts hitting.

s.i.r.e. posted:Yeah, I think this justifies the $60 price, how much did MK8+DLC come to when it was all fresh? The DLC was like $12 or $15 for the combo. So if you price out the battle stages as if they were another DLC pack, that's like ~$20 worth of extra content over what the Wii U version launched with.

I have a bit of an odd request: Does anyone have one of the little black gamepad stands that came with the Wii U that they no longer want? Not the charging cradle, but just the simple little stand? I need a spare, and I figured I'd ask NintenGoons before buying one directly from Nintendo
