Parcels are Go!!!

03062008874.jpg


I've made up 26 packages tonight, the remaining 24 will be packed tomorrow. Will head down the post office tomorrow and post these 26.

I concentrated in winners in the USA, Canada and Australia today, so they get a headstart on their round-the-world journey. :yayds:

Should cost about £44 to post this lot (~$90)

Enjoy guys.

You'd be sharing your address with those seedy interweb strangers that get so much bad rep! :teach:

Congrats again to the winners and kudos to shaun for doing all of this! :grog:

Ouch, so you're spending roughly $200 USD from your own pocket to mail all this. My hats off to you sir.

If I had that computer software that lets you increase quality of the picture as you zoom in, I'd have all the winners addresses!

So where do you get the money to do all this? Do you get revenue from the site or do you pay out of your own pocket?

Why ask me? lol. I copied and pasted exactly what everyone PM'd me (albeit minor corrections such as addition of country names - damn Yanks! :P )... If anyone's package gets misdelivered it's not my fault.. Sorry!

We have funds at GBAtemp we use to pay for shipping costs, import duties, competition prizes etc... But that doesn't mean we don't pay out of our pocket the majority of the time - we're a non-profit site.

    @kijetesantakalu042, It won't happen for another five years.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Why not just make the switch 4
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @SylverReZ I'm preparing for the rumour mill. It'd also be kinda funny

    Make switch 2 flashcards for pre-order make millions

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't know a single person who said they hated the switch when it originally got announced
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    hybrid consoles were a new thing to the mainstream audience, almost everyone liked it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    now everyone is doing it, it isn't new anymore, so it makes sense there's a lot of people who don't give a fuck about the switch 2
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Nah it'll just take one awesome game or hack and it'll sell millions
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, it will sell millions of course, but it will be very difficult for them to repeat the same numbers as games like mario kart 8 deluxe, breath of the wild and animal crossing, mind you that all of them only sold insanely well due to very specific circumstances in their favor, there are countless first party games that did not pass the 10 million mark, some not even the 5 million
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Nintendos entire catalog has been a refresh of what it already has making people buy it
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It use to be like halo just being on Xbox people bought it just for that
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    something that actually shocked me was seeing nintendo abandoning their own games shortly after releasing them, some of which almost totally relies on online content, like super mario maker 2, I didn't understand why the fuck they would update a game like super mario party years after it release to add content but not super mario maker 2
     +1
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then I saw the sales of both games, super mario party sold almost 3x more than super mario maker 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I actually expected super mario maker 2 to have sold much more, it sold twice as much as the wii u version, but still way less than you would expect for a console with the install base the switch has
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It has the same thought process as the last so people didn't really get into it until they learned servers could be shut off imo
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Plus mechanics kinda sucked in smm2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I'm saying this because there is a lot of first party games on switch in similar situation, they are far from being a failure, but for nintendo it probably wasn't good enough compared to the heavy hits that sold 20 million+
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Either way switch 2 will probably be far from a failure just a rinse and repeat like all their other consoles and games
