Power banks are just as at risk.

If the Switch in portable mode can benefit off up to 18W of power, it's not going to fry when it overdraws a 20W power bank.

Stay safe, kids: Make sure to save frequently during multiplayer, and always use a stylus!

Suddenly I'm glad I opted for that cheaper Anker battery without the USB-C output ports.

Thanks for the info to be honest I'm not that fussed about things like the journey being missing (new transfer negotiations would have been cool to be included like the rest) I would just want to be able to mess around playing some football half decent career mode and be quite good looking. My problem (which I didnt explain to well sorry) is that games are hard to come by in my region and the only retailer here has it at £59.99 (standard price launch price here) I don't mind paying that for games but if I'm going to I'd like to be getting something I really will enjoy and while I would probably enjoy it I'd be annoyed if in three months Pro Evo or a much improved FIFA switch was released.

@bluemage1989 You must be in quite the isolated area haha, you should at least have Amazon UK deliver no? They have it 35£ there, so it is a bit off compared to a 60$ launch game here. If you really can't then yeah you could probably wait and see for FIFA19.

But Pro Evo is a little more tricky. Konami might have supported the Switch before, but PES 2018 was pretty much downright denied. There is a chance that the next one could come, but who knows what Konami will do next (their business sense has been very poor for a while now). Longest I would wait would be till E3, but if you can find FIFA18 for less then 60£, then I would go for it.

@NaviAndMii @ieatdragonz

Thanks for the info. I have no issue with FIFA its a fine series and I will probably end up with 18 maybe 19 but I have always had a soft spot for ISS/Pro Evo. It just seems they have more genuine love of football, great physics and a great understanding of what makes football games fun to play

Amazon UK deliver I wish!! Yeah I'm in the British South West Atlantic so about as isolated as it can be really!!

I won't know genuine happiness until the day I play Metroid Prime 4.

Oh, and Smash Bros 5, but mainly Metroid.

@bluemage1989 Take advantage of one of the sales when you can and just pick it up digitally. It's always on sale half price every couple months or so in any region.

@Ralizah @kobashi100 @AlternateButtons
There hasn't been one single confirmed case of anything other than 3rd party docks bricking the system.

This rumor got out of hand because one particular individual called customer support and the $10/hour phone representative said "oh well ya know, maybe it was that portable battery you say you bought" without any basis of reasoning at all aside from ignorant speculation. Person also admits to having used a third-party dock...

That's not to say it's a physical impossibility but, until actual evidence surfaces, verified cases are confined to docks.

In fact, I use the very same Anker PowerCore USB-C PD portable battery and have since launch without any issues. I think the issue has to do with the requests needed to negotiate both power draw and video/audio. It would explain why only docks are having issues and not every other charger or device out there.

@subpopz
You know ?
So many talented artists left from Konami.
Last time i checked on MaiMai SEGA, there were Jimmy Weckl, Hideyuki Ono contributed their songs for SEGA.
Also, Naoki Maeda, Jun Karashima, Kiyotaka Sugimoto (DJ SIMON) , etc left from Konami, worked at Capcom for Cross X Beats.
Konami can keep making DDR for Arcade, but the songs choices & quality right now are pretty disaster.
Now, DDR Ace has some Toho Projects, Project Diva songs, from SEGA.

No good deed
Will I do
AGAIN...!!!

@subpopz Oh I know, and I had a bit of a laugh about it. I mean pachinko is profitable but its taking the piss out of what is essentially a dead series. Honestly I'm just glad I'm not a big a fan of even older Konami, cause if I was my heart would be broken by now

Although a new Castlevania game would be cool!

Apparently Super Bomberman R is approaching 1 million sales. It sold 500k within its opening month. With it now being on sale for half price I imagine it will reach the 1 million pretty soon. There were a few folk doubting it had done well when they announced it was coming to other platforms. I doubt it will do anywhere near those numbers on PS4 or One. Even if you take the launch month sales away, 500k for a title like this is pretty good, especially at the price they were selling it for. Makes you wonder why Konami have been so quiet since,you'd think they would have at least brought a couple of other retro styled games after seeing the launch month sales. We are getting the Rebirth series from Wii Ware though supposedly so it's something.

@OorWullie I'm somehow a little saddened by that news. It's the most bare bones Bomberman game since the cheap €10 digital-only games on WiiWare, Xbox Live and PSN, and they charged full price for it, and it managed to sell more than any other entry in the franchise. Makes me wonder where those people where when games like Bomberman Hero, Generation or Tournament came out...

@Octane living in the shadows of Saturn Bomberman et all?

The series was so ubiquitous for so long so if you cared you probably had a copy on an older console and the quality level was all over the place so your existing SNES Bombeman might have actually been better than your GameCube one. Or at least not better enough to justify the cost.

Hudson mismanaged it and Konami doesn’t have a clue unfortunately. It has the potential to take giant leaps forward while remaining ‘Bomberman’ but it never has.

That's an understatement. I just read that Konami recently filed a trademark for a Silent Hill gambling machine -.-

Ironically it’ll probably be very loud and with enough flashing lights you could use it to land aircraft in dense fog.

@OorWullie I think it's just referring to the fact that there are two previously eaten bananas in the background, and Donkey kong's about to shovel down a third banana. As much as I would want it to be, I don't think it's referencing a third DKCR.

That's definitely a tease, whether there's a third game in development is another question.

If there is another one, I don't think Retro is making it, unless they're working on two new games at the same time.
