I thought someone would still be interested in the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Special Edition.
This is my first post, apologies in advance if I missed anything. Thanks 😊
Releases 9/10/2020
Thanks, will do.
upvoted but guys PRO is on the way
Still a rumour.
yeah nothing confirmed yet.
they have been saying a Pro has been on the way for a while now.
nintendo said during a private confrence that there will be a new switch model but they also said its coming in 20XX (basically sometime this decade )
Yep, there's been rumours since the switch launched in 2017, nothing happened yet. Don't get me wrong, I think we will get a more powerful one at some point, either as a mid gen upgrade, or a new-gen, but not until 2022 I think.
@matsoo: Yeah that's what I think, I think it'll be kinda like the xbox one s to the original one, slightly faster and a few other upgrades. Maybe a 1080p handheld screen.
true ozbargainers wait for the Pro so the price of the normal Switch goes down
There is no such thing
Will likely have better resell value than the normal version though.
End of March for announcement.
I predict a regular, non portable console, where you buy joy cons that don't connect to the unit itself and it's upscales to 4k.
More like a Switch v1.5
thats a possibility. I hope this becomes a reality!
The most not-limited limited edition console that has sold like it's a limited edition.
It says special edition not limited edition once I clicked the link?
A lot of people tend to mix the two words together (in this context).
Arguably it's also a fairly non-special special edition, not even coming with the game it's based on
This is close to false advertising IMHO.
yeh next shipment won't sell out you'll soon see below RRP judging by recent demand
I wouldn't bother
The problem is, Nintendo limit many things that are not officially limited. Leaving no stock in stores when people want them. I bought it knowing that I can sell it at my cost price on ebay if I need to for any reason (eg the next switch upgrade actually happens next year). Otherwise im gonna keep it so I can hack my original switch since I bought it before they fixed the chips to stop hacking
Thanks for the post, it annoys me that they ship this Animal Crossing edition Switch without the game.
Why? Does it annoy you it doesn't ship with a winning lotto ticket too?
Where does it says it comes with a game?
Wow, yeah because that's the same, smh.
It would make sense to ship it with the game - surely there is no need to explain why, but maybe there is?
If you read my comment, I haven't made any mention that it says it includes a game but actually doesn't, only that it annoys me that it doesn't.
Just remember. Special edition NOT limited edition. Unlimited supply.
I'd call it the flooded edition .
Lol@scalpers still trying to sell above RRP on ebay
more like scalpers edition lol
I mean good on em. Idiots who pay scalpers prices deserve what they get. Plenty to go around if your a fan of the colour scheme vs those who want the exclusive status.
I wouldnt call them idiots.
there are people who have better things to do than waste time trying to get in and get a limited edition.
If they spend their time making way more money than waiting around to buy something i dont see an issue with that.
If they have money to burn so be it.
its a feedback loop that creates scalping and limited supply due to hype. spending over RRP on cosmetics is idiotic.
I also wonder if other countries are releasing this edition as much as in Australia. I have a feeling in America it's a lot harder to purchase.
nope its supply meeting demand, was cheaper overseas
@abuch47: in the USA anything "limited or special edition" gets sold out very quickly.
Even the Mario 3D all stars is sold out but its in abundance in Australia.
I really wanted one when I thought I couldn't get one. Now I'm meh about it
First time I'm permitted 2 in the cart :)
BTW not buying any .
Don't see the RRP police here like on the 3080 / PS5 deals lol
I'd be locked up for life by them .
This is just normal price RRP
Tons of consoles sold on gumtree and ebay for this price even less if you’re lucky
Nothing to see here
You forgot price in US is around USD $400 .
Hence no peanuts :)
It’s plus delivery too so it’s a poor deal seen it inclusive
Wow plus delivery too that has to be the worst deal on ozbargain so far
I love how people still go crazy over this, and yet some are complaining about the $499 Xbox Series S and are suggesting it should be $399 for black friday/christmas sales! Nintendo just know how to maintain value!
create hype through "LEs" building brand and getting consumers to accept new high prices for less. nike, adidas, apple been doing this for decades, nintendo joined the party this generation.
Yep, they are smart - just look at their black friday deals. They almost never discount, just bundle in a game!
RRP for unlimited supply console that has been in/out of stock 100x. No deal
Hardly a deal. Funny how the RRP squad give Nintendo a free pass.
RRP for a product that keeps coming in and out of stock is not a deal let alone a bargain.
See here for more information.
Can you tell the RRP Police to fine all the Silent Striker's that take part of the cake when the deal sells out in mins tks .
Oops they don't get financed the Striker's do :)
WD you got 13 votes and the Strikers count their credits by the dough made .
Its criminal !
I literally have no idea what you're trying to say here, champ.
I will simply say, "OK. Good-O."
I know Bud that it is difficult to understand that is why they thrive in the darkness .
Why is this shit still those expensive o.o… even the games are a rip off, animal crossing is priced like a AAA game, meanwhile masterpieces full of love and effort like Ori go for less than half than it…
Because for Sony & MS it's a race to the bottom. Nintendo just chill and make bank.
Ozbargain shouldn’t allow deals like this honestly, 2 months of this AC switch coming up for preorder once a week. Each time being heavily upvotes, there is no bargain here.
this is not a "deal" seen that regular price in most places.
OzScalp
normal price, doesnt include Animal Crossing.
thats a no from me dawg
I wanted this for the longest time because I liked the shade of the green and blue controllers (yes I could just get a cover/sticker/replacement case but it just doesn't feel the same knowing it's not the proper thing!), till one day I finally noticed the the backs were white. Mad disappointment, immediate loss of interest lol.
Have an upvote!
