I'm mad my bi-monthly contractor meeting is Thursday Morning. Oh well, I'll be trying to take a seat in the back and have one earbud in.

Nintendo confirms NES Classic and SNES Classic Edition sales have topped 10 million units globally
Posted 5 seconds ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
Next let’s briefly touch on the NES and Super NES Classic Editions.
Combined global sales of the NES Classic Edition and the Super NES Classic Edition have now surpassed 10 million units. The Super NES Classic Edition, released last fall, and the NES Classic Edition, re-released in June of this year, both continue to sell as must-have products, and the fact that they are so affordable suggests that they will be in even greater demand during the holiday season.

Nintendo on Smash Bros. Ultimate and release plans, total amiibo sales at roughly 50 million units
Posted on October 30, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch
This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be released in December.
This title will be the largest-ever game in the Smash Bros. series in every aspect, with an overwhelming amount of content, bringing together famous franchises’ characters in what will be the gaming industry’s one of the greatest collaboration titles. What sets the Smash Bros. series apart is that the basic rules and operations of the game are very simple, yet for those who want to pursue the game it offers a real depth of gameplay. The games are welcoming, since people who seldom play have a good chance of witnessing the appearance of certain elements they recognize, so we are working to spark the interest of a wide range of consumers, and not just fans of the Smash Bros. series.
The Smash Bros. series titles are special to our company because it is the place where the characters of Nintendo’s main titles come together. Many consumers discover Nintendo games they never knew about through the Smash Bros. series, so if Smash Bros. is spread wide across our consumer base, it will, by extension, also enhance the appeal of our overall IP.
amiibo represented the first example of our use of our own IP, and amiibo figure total sell-through has reached
approximately 50 million units. All characters that appeared in the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of Smash Bros. have been released as amiibo figures. On the same day that the new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is released, we will also begin to sell three new amiibo of characters who are appearing in the game as fighters for the first time. In addition, we will sell accessories including a specially designed Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to coincide with the release.
In November, ahead of the December release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, we will offer a package bundle of a specially designed Nintendo Switch system together with the download code for the software, ready for play from the day of the software’s release.

Nintendo on Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee and release plans
Posted 21 minutes ago by Brian in News, Switch | 0 Comments
This information comes from Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa…
Global release of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, the latest installments of the Pokémon series, will take place in November. Their release finally brings the Pokémon series to Nintendo Switch.
This title is designed to be enjoyed by everyone. It is easy to play for people new to the Pokémon series, and endearing to fans of the Pokémon games. The title is based on Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition, which was released for Game Boy in 1998, but this title offers completely new experiences. For example, the gameplay reflects Pokémon Go, and to catch a Pokémon the player swings the Joy-Con in an action similar to throwing a Poké Ball. In addition, by sharing the Joy-Con, two people can play at the same time in the same game, which is a first for the series.
The Poké Ball Plus will be released at the same time as a play accessory for this title. This Poké Ball Plus can be used instead of the Joy-Con as a game controller and “thrown,” so to speak, to capture Pokémon as a trainer. Further enhancing the realism of the experience, the player hears a sound and feels something in the palm of their hand when they succeed in capturing a Pokémon. In addition, players can take their favorite Pokémon from Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! out into the world outside of the game and, as they walk around, it feels like the Pokémon is actually inside the Poké Ball Plus. More than half of all consumers who have pre-ordered this title chose the software bundled with Poké Ball Plus. Poké Ball Plus can also connect to Pokémon GO so that users can
continue playing without continuously looking at their smartphones.
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! can be linked with Pokémon Go so they can carry around the Pokémon captured with Pokémon Go. Also, the Pokémon Go application can get special items that can lead to the acquisition of new kinds of Pokémon. It would be wonderful if this fun kind of linkage piqued the interest of Pokémon Go users all around the world.
We have created various special bundles for those consumers looking to purchase a system together with software.
To coincide with the November release of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, we have prepared a package set that bundles the game with a Poké Ball Plus and a specially designed Nintendo Switch system.

I just wish I could make my character Black in Let's Go Eevee. It'll definitely bring back the feels of 20 years ago playing through Blue. Borrowed Yellow, but never owned it.

Yeah, you made the right move there. Not even a "mom & pop retro gaming store" would've given you back that much $$$ for a trade-in.........even if it is a Pokemon game.
Not even shocked at that recent trade-in value from Gamestop is a joke, they've been ripping a **** ton of folk off lately w/ trade-ins (especially for stuff they used to give big $$$ to back in the day)

Man... I think I am regretting buying another Switch. Just got the shipping notice today and thought why the hell did I just drop a car payment on another damn console I have no need for. Maybe if I sell my old one, but I don't even give a **** about SSB. Plus I know I will really regret it when they announce a Zelda remodeled Switch. Well, we will see how I feel on Friday when the box shows up at my door...
Also, I regret doubling up on the SNES classic.
