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.

Various retailers in the UK are offering pre-order bonuses for the 3DS version of Super Mario Maker. Nintendo detailed the different goodies on its website today.

As we heard about before, by pre-ordering on the Nintendo UK store, you can receive one of three different freebies. These include a Super Mario Bros. 3D Motion Notebook, Build-A-Level mug, and range of Super Mario Bros. coasters. Additionally, the Question Block Storage Tin and “Breaking Bricks Since ‘85” t-shirt can be had at a discount price.

Bonuses at other retailers are more straightforward. GAME is providing a set of magnets encased in a Super Mario Maker sleeve, Argos has a double sided A3 poster, and Smyths Toys is giving out a set of Super Mario themed pin badges.
