Rumors about Switch featuring motion controls have been swirling even before Nintendo properly announced the system last month. Now a comment made by GameStop CEO Paul Raines further suggests that the functionality will be included.

Speaking during GameStop’s financial call yesterday about how Switch could expand the gaming audience like Wii, Raines said: “A movement-related game is more fun for kids, you know, taking those accessories off – [the detachable Joy-Con pads] – you can really do a lot of interesting things with that in gameplay.”

Again, talk about motion controls – in one form or another – isn’t entirely new in terms of what we’ve been hearing from the rumor mill. It is interesting though that Raines is further hinting at it being included.

Most retailers don’t actually know when Switch is releasing or how much it’ll cost, but UK retailer GameSeek is giving consumers a guarantee. You can reserve the console on its website for £198.50. GameSeek says that if the price increases between the time an order is placed and the release date, you’ll be charged the lower price.

The GameSeek listing also mentions a March 17 release date. Whether or not that’s reliable remains to be seen.

Thanks to Stephan for the tip.

We’ve mentioned the Fire Emblem Fates Camilla figure here on the site several times. The 1/7th scale creation had direct involvement from the game’s creator, Intelligent Systems.

Here’s a description:

“A figure project co-developed by the developer of the Fire Emblem series, ‘INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS’ and monolith! From the popular game ‘Fire Emblem Fates’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of the beautiful princess of the Kingdom of Nohr, Camilla! The figure is sculpted by the highly acclaimed figure artisan Hiro and manufactured by Good Smile Company.
The figure captures Camilla’s persona with a noble, elegant appearance that still shows off her sexy side, with her hair making use of translucent parts to preserve its unique appearance. The ‘Silver Axe’ she has by her side has been based directly on the original designs from the game, and she comes complete with a special base made in the image of a marble pillar that brings out her beauty together with the atmosphere of the series.

The figure has been closely supervised by the game’s development team from the initial planning stages to the final paintwork to make it the ultimate official figure of Camilla! Be sure to add her to your collection and enjoy Camilla’s amazing design right by your side!”

Pre-orders for the figure are now starting to go live. It’s up on Play-Asia, GoodSmile, and AmiAmi. It’s estimated to ship in September 2017, though it seems like you’ll need to get in a reservation before the January deadline.
