Update: And just like that, this has already been confirmed. Some non-sheet photos have now surfaced, so we’ve added those in below.

Original: Many accessories have already been announced for Switch. Strangely though, we haven’t heard much of anything from HORI. However, Twitter user DroidXAce appears to have gotten his hands on some materials showing that the company has plenty of items lined up for Switch.

You can see the full lineup below. Accessories range from Zelda: Breath of the Wild-themed skin sets and accessory packs to a fight stick and chargers. They’re not confirmed just yet, but I can’t imagine that someone would go the trouble of faking all of these images. That surely wouldn’t happen… right?

Update: Bumped to the top. This has the SKU 5670100 in Best Buy’s price system with the description “Nintendo N2”, and is $249.99. The name is definitely a placeholder. Whether or not the price is as well remains to be seen.

Original: Reddit user radoster95, who is a staffer at Best Buy, claims to have seen a price change report from the retailer today. The document apparently states that Switch will cost $249.99.

Normally this is the sort of thing we’d pass on sharing. However, judging by radoster95’s history, he does actually seem to be a Best Buy employee.

The $249.99 tidbit is the only thing we have from radoster95 at the moment, unfortunately. He did not elaborate on the possibility of bundles (there have been rumors of a higher-priced package) or anything else.

Note that even if what radoster95 has seen is accurate, it’s not a confirmation of Switch’s price by any means. Thankfully, we’re just a couple of days away from an official announcement.

Like many retailers, GameStop has a dedicated page in place for Switch. Fans began to notice yesterday that it contained a message stating that you’ll be able to “play Pokemon at home” with the new console.

Now GameStop has removed that tidbit entirely. Actually, the full paragraph in which it was included has disappeared. Could the store have said something they shouldn’t have? No matter the reason, it’s simply not there anymore.

First 4 Figures is now taking pre-orders for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Life Size Replica. It comes in deluxe full-color packaging, with a hand numbered base and authenticity card that allows you to purchase the same product number for future pieces in the Zelda Life Size Replica series.

The official dimensions are as follows:

Product Size:
Height – 25 inches (63cm)
Width – 23 inches (58cm)
Depth – 13 inches (33cm)

Weight – 8KG

Similar to other First 4 Figures offerings, two versions of the statue are up for grabs. You can purchase the standard version ($354.99) or exclusive edition ($384.99). In the latter one, there are LEDs in the eyes of Majora’s Mask.

Note that it may take some time for orders to go through. First 4 Figures’ website is being hit with a ton of traffic, so it’s a bit slow.
