| Well I am allowed up to 2 tickets I should add and if the missus doesn't fancy it then that leaves a spot open for a fellow forumite perhaps.
Currently struggling to decide when to go though, the best slot of Saturday 14:00-19:00 is fully booked leaving me with either the same on Sunday or 09:00-13:00 on either day. Leaning towards a morning one so I can get back the same day but would also mean an hour less. |

| So I just went on amazon in the vague hope that they might have a pre-order price after having not really followed any Switch news since Nintendo's trailer for the device. Turns out there are currently 87 reviews for the thing and I found this one to be somewhat amusing. Go on the main store page for the Switch however, and some of the top reviews are just - Spoiler:

| - We have rumours from LKD, I saw GameXplain cover these a few days ago but NLife has now also picked up another story which cover similar things:
There's a record button on the left Joy-Con. - I think Jas thought he saw a record button on the Pro controller and would make sense to have one on a Joy-Con as well.
There will be no friend codes, DeNA is helping Nintendo with the networking. I know the Wii U sort of got rid of them but hopefully we can get at least PSN levels of online from the Switch thanks to DeNa.
Laura was asked if there was the possibility of Red Dead Redemption 2 or Overwatch coming to the Switch. Regarding Red Dead, she stated that there's almost no way it's going to happen due to Rockstar's relationship with Nintendo. She assures that Overwatch wouldn't be there at launch, and the two stated that it would require a massively overhauled port due to the 'always-online' nature of the title.
Laura was asked about voice-chat, before she was going to answer she asked if she could say anything due to OBE1 releasing a video detailing it out soon. Wii U sort has it but in games and its not great but the saying that for Overwatch we don't use the PS4 we use Skype.
The Joy-Cons will be available to be purchased separately at launch date. Docks will be purchasable after 6 months and will be 'cheap'. So when Gus the Cat tries to eat one, Zero is set to get new ones.
There won't be a bundle that includes the Pro Controller, they will be purchasable separately. The entry bundle for the switch will have 32GB of onboard storage, Micro SD card support will extend to 128 GB. Now I am wondering what is in the Premium bundle part from Splatoon as the game will likely be £50 on its own day one that why am I buying this bundle, what am I saving and gaining as I was hoping for Pro maybe it will be 64GB.
The battery will last around 3 hours with everything at maximum. This is a weird one as from what I've seen is you only get the max POWER out of the Switch when docked but then on Dev Units you can select on what level you play the Switch whilst on the Go, be it Max Power or Low Level but you get longer battery.
The charging port is USB and will easily and quickly charge the system. Only expect three virtual console GameCube games at launch, they will be optimized for their original resolutions.
At launch there will only be one colour of the Switch, and it will be the default grey. However, there's a slight chance that there will be multiple colours after launch. The right Joy-Con has an IR pointer akin to the Wiimote, this will allow touch-screen functionalities while docked. When asked about Mass Effect Andromeda, she brought up the point that Mass Effect 3 sold horrendously on Wii U and that there are no plans to release the title.
This OBE1 will be releasing a Switch leak video for 12 days with the first video about Assassins Creed and that it will be coming to PS4, ONE and Switch on the same day.
GameXplain video about some things as well.

This OBE1 who is currently doing 12 days of Switchmas with a leak a day has talked about Resident Evil 7 coming to Switch and using the Switches VR as well with the game.

| Treehouse Live presentation to follow Switch presentation! Nintendo are really spoiling us/going all out. It's a shame I've got a full day of contact time (er, teaching - sorry) that day... |

| I've just accepted that I'm going to have to watch it later, and have things spoiled by one or two colleagues. Unless I get fired between now and then.... |

| Hey gents, I've got a couple of news-related requests. I'm not going to be able to get up at 4, and I know that, for example, Zero isn't going to be able to watch the show until Saturday. So I was wondering whether: - we could keep all Switch-show-related thoughts in spoilers until midday Saturday; - anyone could provide a spoiler-free link, in this thread, to where the showing's archived after it happens? Many thanks. |

| Those seem like pretty fair requests.
I will be getting up and watching, and I'll be aiming to put out a sequel to my Gintendo Switch piece, but I'll try to keep spoilers out of thumbnails/ descriptions/ open forum posting. |

| Maybe just hold off on new threads until the weekend?
I know that's a bit annoying if there's new games to discuss but do keep in mind there are only about 20 of us who use the forum on the reg and we'll still be around for a chinwag on any and all potential games after everyone's had a chance to enjoy the event at their leisure without spoilers. Until then perhaps just keep posts spoilered up in whatevs thread is used for the event. |

| That's a good shout, Mussterino. I'm sure we'll have a new thread for the Switch event and any specific game threads can wait until the Saturday. Care and caution, please - I, at least, am keen on staying as unspoiled as possible. |

| I feel like a choice between the inconvenience of tippy toing and having some regulars feel like they have to stay away for a few days has an obvious answer but Iet the admins decide. |
