Well… this was expected, but still…
If im buying a new bundle i would buy a mk9 one.
Mario Kart 9 isn’t a thing.
That’s 319.99 after uve also purchased the subscription
Fortnite doesn’t require the online subscription just like on PlayStation.
?
Fortnite is free and not shackled by the subscription service
Free-to-play games don’t require the subscription so minus that $20 USD from your suggested price.
Is there a way to get this if I already have my Switch or no?
You could get it if you already have your switch… It would still cost the same amount though lol
I’m talking about just the skin.
Yes.
Here’s what you gotta do, go to your local retailer that sell video game console, and buy one.
Now if you live in one of those from each according to his ability, to each according to his need countries, just say “no” when they ask if you already have one.
Omg I meant just getting the skin.
Oh, maybe ebay?
Or maybe it is the next in game bundle?
Yes just buy the skins in the game, lol
Probably not. In the future they might make it available in the in-game shop. But for now it’s tied to the bundle, much like the PS4 bundle skin and, most recently, the Galaxy skin for the Note 9 and/or Tab S4 buyers.
If they do it like PS4 and eventually put the skin with a controller I’ll be able to exchange for it due to my extended warranty lol.
Only idiots buy skins (in any game). Total waste of money. Purchase a good eShop game like Hollow Knight instead. Costs even less!
… No 🙃
What’s the point of this when it’s a free game to begin with?
like PUBG Xbone bundle?
While it looks like it should be free, PUBG is actually $30
It’s the same price as a regular switch so you are not paying more for this bundle. Plus you are getting V-bucks and some skins that’s your bonus. This will do well with the kids which are all over Fornite right now.
Exclusive skin and free money
Well you get some extras to use in the game but its probably also about spreading awareness that you can play Fortnite on Switch to those less informed.
Now if they could make the game run at a steady 30fps on the Switch
It was 30fps when it launched. Then it was 10fps. I think it’s now back to 30fps but I don’t care anymore.
WHY CANT I GET THIS FOR FREE WITHOUT THIS BUNDLE!!!
The hell are you talking about? This is the regular price of the switch.
Because nothing is for free. The developers are in the business of making money not charity. Am sure Epic is getting a portion of the sells on these bundles
Don’t you think Nintendo have way too many bundles right now?
*Smash Bros Ultimate
*Pokemon Let’s Go
*Fortnite….
Gotta sell those 20 million units by March 2019, yo.
Why do think there is ever “too many”? It’s just more choices for people
The more different bundle they have for XMAS the more Swicth’s they will sell for this holiday season. It’s a marketing strategy dude
Yep, these bundles are here mainly for the Black Friday and Christmas shoppers. In fact, the Smash bundle releases a month ahead of its release.
Yeah, I get that… But, looking at traditional strategies for holidays, they’d usually focus on 1 or 2 games for the bundle.
Splatoon bundle is still out there…
Well, I’m sure nothing can go wrong. It’s a really strong move and I’m sure Epic will be so happy with this.
Oddly enough this is just a special color variant of a skin, Glider, Back Bling and Pickaxe I already have in the game. Still cool though, assuming they would ever sell this version of the skin in the store that’s probably like $45 worth of in-game purchases that you’re getting for free if you buy this bundle. Great for people who already play Fortnite on other platforms and are interested in a Switch as well.
this and the ps4 bundle are scams imo
How is it a scam? It retails for the same as a normal switch , you don’t need to pay for online to play Fortnite, and you get in-game currency and an exclusive skin all for the price of a standard switch console.
I dare you to make less sense.
It’s really not a bad deal since you get more stuff for the same price as a regular Switch.
I did not expect this. At all.
This has greed written all over it.
Why? It’s free in-game currency for the kids who like or want to start playing the game…
Not bad, just need to wait a bit. I think it’s nice to get exclusive stuff.
What about the people that already have a switch why can’t they make it a god dam free skin like they did with PlayStation plus the whole point of a exclusive skin is to make it that anyone that already has the console can get it
