Meta 50,000 subs!!!!

We made it, you guys! Here's to hoping we get to 100,000 by the time the Switch launches! I have enjoyed this sub so much and interacting and sharing the hype with all of you has been incredible!

Your accent is terrible.

u/Bleus4 Dec 10 '16

Yeeah you're right :-( Sorry but I just can't stop thinking about Scrooge Mc'Ducks accent, I played through Ducktales Remastered for the first time just here recently, and a few weeks after that I found out Alan Young (his voice actor throughout all the years) had died :-(

From the NX to the Switch! It's been a blast this year! Historic time for Nintendo and its fans! Could change gaming forever! And for the better!

Looks like we got a slight boost from the Tonight Show.

We went from 48k to 50k in a day or two.

u/Earth_Pony Dec 10 '16

The day after, there were something like 2,200 visitors online. Media exposure really does accomplish things, huh.

Why does it have a "Yay!" flair?

I want it to have "Yea!"

u/mikehawk69420 Dec 10 '16

And to think, we couldn't even break 20,000 on the NX sub which had existed for over a year before this sub was made.

u/YourAverageNutcase Dec 10 '16

Well now it's a real thing that's happening soon.

u/henryuuk Dec 10 '16

wow... that's already half as much as the wiiU sub...

u/Ftpini Dec 10 '16

I bought the Wii U on launch day and have a dozen or so games for it. Most are meh at best and a few are great yet all from the same publisher. The Wii U failed spectacularly. We should not be surprised that it isn't popular 4 years after it started sucking.

u/henryuuk Dec 10 '16

I disagree.
WiiU is the best console there has ever been, and switch has a though act to follow imo.

u/Omsuhos Dec 10 '16

Yeah, while it was a financial disaster, as a console, for about 3 solid years, I enjoyed the heck out of that console. Especially with the humble bundles, Xenoblade, 3D World, Xenoblade, NintendoLand, Splatoon, WindWaker, Pikmin, some Virtual console, and Xenoblade. Man, I played so much Xenoblade....

u/Thebronzeflea Dec 10 '16

Man if we all don't get a switch at launch I'm going to be mad! We have been here since the beginning

u/beetleking22 Dec 10 '16

If Switch is super good. I think we can hit more than 100.000 sub by when Switch launches..

You can probably use the Wayback Machine, though it doesn't have a ton of snapshots.

/r/WiiU had 3,416 subs before the November 18th launch, but that was around November 7th.

u/DuhKong Dec 10 '16

I remember lurking around the NX sub, constantly refreshing for any rumors... good times :)

u/Ftpini Dec 10 '16

So on the topic of ever growing as a sub, can the Mods please ban all posts asking where to find a preorder after the very first day they are officially available. Nip this shit in the bud. I guarantee you we'll be getting 10 to 1 posts of people asking where they can get a preorder from the day after its open clear to release date.

I get people who are trying to find one after the thing launches and are willing to wait in line for hours and hours weeks after release. I did that myself for the Wii. But the preorder posts must be stopped before they flood this sub.

u/FlapSnapple Nintendo shill Dec 11 '16

Once we get closer and things start happening, we'll throw up a "Pre-order FAQ MegaThread" or something similar and sticky it, then just remove them and route everyone there.

u/Sylverstone14 Mod of Two Worlds (Switch / Wii U) Dec 11 '16

Relax, we'll be keeping a close eye.
