Hi Bob - Not as yet but we are investigating various new gaming systems to launch organised play and product ranges at the Nexus Hub for this year - and that range is one of them

Do you guys host Trench Crusade games and do you carry the mini range?

Nintendo Switch Launch Price and Availability

The Switch launches on the 3^rd of March, and the console finally has a price: R5599. This news also comes alongside Nintendo’s exclusive launch alignment with two resellers.

Nintendo have partnered with B.T. Games and Takealot.com for the Switch launch in South Africa. This means that for the launch edition of the console, or the first allocation of stock that we will be getting in the country, the console will be exclusively available through these two retailers.

There are many reasons why companies could choose to have launch alignments such as these. One possible reason could be the limited number of units that will be shipped to the country. It’s not a lack of desire on the part of other retailers, but rather the question of availability of stock.

AWX are reassuring their customers that they will keep them posted on the wider availability of the Switch console, its accessories, and its software. Those customers who have preordered the Switch through AWX will retain their preorder until the retailer receives an allocation of stock. There is no date on when the second allocation will be.

In today’s world, exclusivity deals and launch alignments such as these are run of the mill. However, if consumers have concerns about stock availability or distribution, they should raise their concerns.

I guess they don't want it to sell well at that price.

Lurch

I'm waiting for a decent Zelda bundle and one hell of a discount then. Nintendo must really not give a single **** about smaller markets.

Scottie

Bodes well for it's long term support in SA.

CRAVINHO

TBH i can't see a lot of local retailers stocking the switch as most retailers dumped Nintendo in sa it's only a handful of retailers that still stock Nintendo in sa.

Siosal

Jeepers thats a heavy price considering USD to ZAR of $299.99 is only R4000 at this point in time. It would be cheaper (and I am not advising this, just noting) to import the damn thing and suffer the import duties.

Graeme Selvan

Talk about committing product suicide on a console/platform that has not generally performed too well locally. It should be absolutely everywhere. VERY, VERY stupid move.
