March 24 is my birthday.. so close lol
Same dude, March 24th is my bday as well! Good bday present, or at least money to get this thing!
Same here March 24 ;) not just kidding ;) ;)
My birthday is 15th March, looks like I have a late birthday present lined up!
lol my friend’s birthday is March 24th
St. Patrick’s Day – Nice!
March 18th is Monster Hunter XX in Japan. I really have no doubt left. There’ll be an HD Switch version like Tri Ultimate at Wii U’s Japanese launch.
That’s my birthday. But I’m not into Monster Hunter personally. But at least a lot of other people get a game they want on my birthday. So that’s cool.
I wont freak out on you, but i LOVE mh 4 and tri
I imagined it would have been March 10th for Mario day but a week after that on St Patricks works as well. I can imagine March 10th having a special look at the Switch at Best Buy and other retailers to drum up pre orders before it launches a week later.
Let that day be known as the Hybrid day.
XD
||*smh…||
On my birthday, nice one.
GIVE IT TO ME FIRST I WANT IT NOW
If this is true I can buy it day one :D
I have heard the same, so now i think it going to release on the 17th
Well there is no US date yet. I’m sure they will tell us about it soon. And also I can tell that guy is working for Nintendo.

Thats good for me too. It will give me enough time to get the money to buy the Nintendo Switch with Zelda Breath of the Wild.
70 days till we know for sure!
True. Good thing Pokemon will come in 2 weeks. But Zelda and Metroid are my favorite games. The exploration and gameplay of these games are exelent.
Zelda is my favorite franchise ever. Can’t wait for BoTW! Gonna get me that NS BoTW Bundle!
So many birthdays in March lol
Sounds reasonable. I just hope all regions get it within a week of the first place that gets it- this is a new console we’re talking about, after all, not just a game.
