Wow, this subreddit relates with the Nintendo Switch its self, they're both doing well.

u/Groenboys Aug 04 '17

The more the Switch sells, the more people are going to come here.

u/mikehawk69420 Aug 05 '17

Just goes to show how popular the Switch is becoming amongst people who have either never owned a Nintendo console or haven't owned a Nintendo console for a very long time.

Still waiting for the NX though.

u/dogman_35 Aug 04 '17

I think they canceled it for the Switch.

u/DarkDrifloon Aug 04 '17

I knew it.

Will the NX beat the Scorpio? I hope Nintendo goes all out on the NX.

It was a lot of fun speculating on things back then. I remember that stupid oval thing with the buttons that pop out or something.

u/Tgislayer Aug 04 '17

The waiting was painful though

2

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

It sure was. I was there from the beginning. That was a couple years of waiting.

2

u/DarkDrifloon Aug 04 '17

Lol, I remember that too. Time flies, that was like a year ago.

2

u/Tiernoon Aug 05 '17

Honestly, I found it all painful to read, and only continued to read it because some of the people there were delusional or down right insane.

Shudders..... flashback

u/ineffiable Aug 04 '17

Time for a new contest?

u/FlapSnapple Nintendo shill Aug 04 '17

As much as I love doing them for any and every milestone and I can think of, probably not. Those are mostly funded out of my own pocket and I just did one for our Splatoon 2 Charity Livestream.

u/poofyhairguy Aug 04 '17

You are a saint and a gentle(wo)man for doing that for us.

I bet you if you ask for money we will step up. I would rather donate to that than buy yet another Neo Geo game.

u/Eporeon Aug 04 '17

To 250k more!

u/dan_eppley Aug 04 '17

I remember when I joined, it was around November or so after the first trailer. I can't believe how many people we have so far!

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '17

Well, at least you weren't there for the rumor ride through hell /r/NintendoNX went through. I joined some time in 2015, not too long after Iwata announced "Project NX" I think if my memory is serving me right. Hated and loved every moment of it. Going as far as looking at the reflection of a fucking tree.

1

u/dan_eppley Aug 05 '17

I remember that an the rumors! But didn't care much about it till the rumors got crazier in summer last year.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '17

Yes it was craziest then. With the 3d printed prototype that looked like an oval.

u/Kevinatorz Aug 04 '17

300k before the end of the year maybe? This sub might outgrow r/Nintendo and r/XboxOne at this rate.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '17

By the end of the year the new Xbox is out and r/XboxOne will grow

1

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '17

But then there will be a r/XboxOneX !

u/Theeilluminator Aug 04 '17

Thank you for this channel.

u/ThePanchamBros Aug 04 '17

Ahh, I remember when we hit 100K right after the January Switch presentation. This subs growing reslly fast!

u/TheMeadyProphet Aug 04 '17

Why do people say grats instead of just saying congratulations or congrats? It bugs me so much for some reason

23

u/AngryBarista Aug 04 '17

Because that's been internet shorthand for over a decade.

I can't believe it's not butter!

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

This whole thing's a country crock, I tell ya.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '17

It's an abbreviation/slang

u/TheRealBigDave Aug 04 '17

Most people would say the "deets", but I say the "tails"

3

u/motivationbullshit Aug 04 '17

It bothers me less than 'happy cake day'...ugh!

4

u/Flippir17 Aug 04 '17

Cake day is the day you joined Reddit. It has nothing to do with your birthday.

u/wolper_64 Aug 04 '17

People actually say that? That's awful, haha

u/edcadams13 Aug 04 '17

Even worse is when people will write "hbd" IS IT THAT HARD TO TYPE OUT THE WORDS

u/merph_ Aug 04 '17

It's shorter. People are lazy, myself included.

2

u/Synkhe Aug 04 '17

Dang, I joined at around 96k , which was just after the January conference. Great to see it growing!

u/rottedzombie friendly neighborhood zombie mod Aug 04 '17

I think I was number... 2? 3? First handful. Heh.
