Gaming Nintendo Switch Finally Has Game Pre-Orders and Discount Sales!

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I know some of you already saw this or probably don't care. But I do, while the selection at the moment is Halloween themed and maybe probably either a bad selection or bad discount percentages, at least they started having them by now. Honestly I was wondering when but you know what, just throwing that out there, the news feed on Nintendo Switch might be bit primitive at the moment, but it sure is helpful to keep track of updates you care about. Though from previous experience on WII U and 3DS, i don't expect to see any discount over %50 which is disappointing but still okay depending on the game in question.

Nintendo are a bunch of stingy bastards.

Perhaps when the online subscription comes, subscribers will get deeper discounts on certain games.

Perhaps the online service will be cheaper than current ones. $60 for a whole year, that the price of a game or even a controller. Not to mention we have to play internet every month! (Gaming is expensive)

They already announced pricing, I think it was around $20 or $30 for a whole year.

They also announced they will be starting it this year, but that got changed to delayed, no reason not to suspect it will change price.

So what's the pre-order discount on games through the Switch?

There is no "pre-order discount" They allow you to pre-purchase games on eshop, it works like any other platform, the game will download and midnight of release date will be available to play from the start. There is no discount for doing this as of yet that I know but other systems had pre order discounts.

Ah. I misread the title. My bad.

They delayed us having to pay the subscription, I don't think that's any indicator of raising the subscription price. They probably aren't going to lower it after doing less than half of what the competition is asking, either.

NoA and NoE don't have meaningful discounts for 3DS/WiiU first party. Probably will hand out gold coins only themes for the N.O. service.

The Nintendo "Sales" are complete shite and I'm pretty sure, using the mobile app as a benchmark, their online service will be total gash as well.

First point, we already pay a Switch tax, comparing prices against other devices (PS4/XB1) Puyo Puyo Tetris is an example, then when there is a sale the best I've items discount is 30-40%.

When I look at sales on Xbox or PS4 the generally reduce by 50% as a maximum, the current Nintendo Haloween sale is a range of 10-20% discounts, from a brief glance, hence my comment.

Needing a mobile app to use an online service is abysmal, in my opinion, lack of standard functions (inviting friends to game/etc. or that was the case last time I tried to use it) is equally as poor.

Again, it's an opinion.

Snake pass is on sale for %50 off, but is true that nintendo sales aren't usually above %40, even with xbox live gold or playstation plus, sales without them are still least over %50 and even more with them. Perhaps nintendo will have better discounts for their online subscription services.

True .

Although we have Mario Odyssey, MK8 & Zelda - which mitigates any sale prices, lol. Three essential games within 9 months of platform release is far better than XB/PS have done in 3+ years in my humble opinion. Nintendo FP IP>all.

I had the misunderstanding that you ment the switch and it's games were not selling well
but ya, the sale prices do kinda suck though they just introduced sales so meh, there decent on 3ds
and I decline to hold an opinion on there internet services until the full paid service comes along, I feel like there just in a trial period of making sure everything is set up and nice before they roll it out to us. which is kind of shown with how they delayed making us pay till 2018 instead of in fall
