Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Switch Fortnite Bundle Announced

So we have Nintendo bundling it, Sony bundling it, Apple making it a timed mobile exclusive, and Samsung making it a timed Android exclusive.
What's next?
Perhaps Nvidia will exclusively get ray tracing in Fortnite for their new cards.



It would be awesome if that bundle unlocks your PS4 account :p



Pocky Lover Boy! 

I thought it would be a good idea for them to have a Fortnite bundle, since being able to play proper console Fortnite on the go with proper controls could be a huge selling point considering how big the game is, but didn't think they would do the bundle.

Glad to see they did it, smart move.

Wait so you want to know the chances of getting a exclusive bundle type skin like the switch/galaxy bundle skin with vbucks?

0%

I'm not a tutorial though, you don't know the game, that's grand, if it's not your thing then probably best to just ignore threads about it, kinda derails threads explaining mechanics like exclusive skins and such.

You answered one question after missing it at the end of my first post. Then again ignored the question in the follow up. I'm aware you're not a tutorial.

I think you missed my point, if you don't know the game that's fine, I have no interest/obligation in helping you understand or answer anything about it, that's what I mean by "not a tutorial", understand now?

That's why I said that it might be an idea to avoid threads about the game or games featuring such free to play economics. Otherwise check wiki/Reddit FAQs about it.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Aye the fortnite brand is money right now, parents claim to not like it, but few are resisting what is basically a free to play babysitting tool to get a few hours peace from the kids, even if it does result in them doing the floss at Sunday mass....

On top of that they have 2D Mario in January to keep post-holiday momentum strong.

And Yoshi in Q1, so probably February/March and Fire Emblem: 3 houses in Q2 (probably late April for Goldenweek, at least for Japan)

In other words, H1 2019 will crush H1 2018 in terms of Switch sales as Nintendo can keep the momentum much higher

I dont think Yoshi is confirmed for Q1, they just said Spring for Yoshi & Fire Emblem.

I went by the Wikipedia list, which puts Yoshi into Q1 and Fire Emblem at Q2.

While not guaranteed, both make sense to me: Yoshi was at first announced for this year, so it's possible it got pushed back just a bit, possibly to fill out a void after NSMBU. Fire Emblem, like I explained before, will probably want to get those juicy Goldenweek sales in Japan, for which Q2 (April) would be the logical choice

What makes your think I wasn't asking a rhetorical question? Of course the 1000-v-bucks in the bundle, which I said were a dubious value, and $9.99 worth of Fortnite junk, are not going to net the player anything of value. You say: "call it $10 of fortnite junk and baubles if you want to believe that." Junk is a fair appraisal. 

 

Which leaves the exclusive items for the Switch. A cursory glance seems to indicate the PS4 bundle came with with no such items. You speculate they could garner anywhere from 5-100 Euros. A pretty big window. In fact, a 5-100 Euro window is what I would describe, in terms of value, as something that is, idunno, maybe, not to be relied upon. Suspect. Dubious? A dubious value? 5 Euros of added value relative to a $299 USD bundle ( I can't find any info on European prices) is garbage territory. It will be interesting to see how that plays out, in terms of how high the prices will get, as well as the scale of activity. It's certainly not as stable in it's potential resell value as a physical game or download code. The last 2 bundles I bought had actual, tangible value, approaching the $50-60 dollar range, felt immediately, right there, at the till, with no need to mess around with secondary market speculation.

 

As for your suggestion, I have an alternate idea: It might be an idea to avoid threads about the game or games featuring such free to play economics, otherwise you might accidentally quote somebody, type out a paragraph long response, and then have to deal with the obligation of answering one or two questions germane to the topic at hand.
