Sorry, the sale's on the eShop, and AFAIK, neither game is on there (yet?).

Whoops :oops:

Are posts okay?

There will be a big E3 eShop sale beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern time (11 a.m. Pacific) on Tuesday featuring "some of its (the eShop's) most popular games". My Nintendo members will also receive additional rewards for buying the sale games, but the nature of the rewards hasn't been announced.

As well, a new Miitomo campaign has begun on Nintendo's Twitter accounts. A combined 10,000 retweets of the event posts (such as the one below) will earn a "new Link wig" for Miitomo, and 20,000 will bring a classic Link wig.


EU is also having a 5th anniversary sale too.

I'm interested to see what the new console brings. Given comments made by Reggie last year, it seemed Nintendo had no interest in VR, yet now they're delaying the console for VR. You have to respect Nintendo regardless of whether you like them for never dabbling in things; they always go all-in, for better or worse. I'm thinking the next Nintendo console will be centred around VR gaming, with a focus on multiplayer couch play.

It has nothing to do with VR.

AMD is behind in getting their new CPU and GPU into production, with the new chips delayed Q4 of this year.
The new CPUs and GPUs were originally scheduled for the end of last year, which leaks were saying Nintendo was using.

Sharp who is one of Nintendo's key suppliers for screens and other parts is in the process of a takeover with their production being frozen.

It has nothing to do with VR, despite a very inaccurate rumor.

Sony is launching PSVR at $399 for the headset alone, $499 if you need PS Move controllers and the PS Camera (which is what PSVR is centered on).
If you buy the $499 PSVR and PS4K at $399 (if it is $399) you have spent over $900 to get the cheapest VR solution.
All the PC VR solutions require high end PCs and special controllers on top of paying over $700 for the headsets.

Not many people want to pay more than $250 for a Nintendo console.

The NX Console delay is literally down to AMD being way behind in CPU and GPU Production.

It didn't help that a lot of people complained about the Wii U lacking games at launch despite have the most games ever for any system launch in history.

Don't expect Microsoft or Nintendo to launch their own VR Unit this decade, due to the expense of it.

Ugh. That just... what.

And people will pay THAT damn much for something that A: is mostly JUST about visuals and arm-waving, and B: mostly just leads to the sorts of smaller, gimmicky games that they avoid like the plague otherwise (this bit, I find utterly hilarious).

Even more ridiculous for PC players since they have to have one heck of a beefy machine to do it. My PC could do it easily, but mine also cost $2000, which is.... alot.

I just... uuuuugh. I hate this industry sometimes. Okay, most of the time.

Isn't the Nintendo VR thing just a rumor?

You can use PSVR on regular PS4 and it runs just fine.
It's runs better on PS4K

You can spend $800 for just fine or $900 for the best PS experience.

The bigger issue is that all VR systems require motion controls for the full experience.

It's as old as the Gamecube.

The original rumor originates with the Gamecube unveiling and all rumors are derived from that rumor.

Mew Codes are now being sent out via June's Pokemon newsletter in NA Today.

Though if you received the anniversary Mew in February, you cannot redeem the code with your game (it's the same Mew).

Each code only works on one game.
