Interested in the Dragon Quest Builders demo. Never gave it a shot on the PS4, so can't wait to try it out.
Cool.
Hmm that Pokken DLC seems a little expensive. For £4 more you get the season pass for FEW with 9 characters and plenty of single player content. Will wait and see if there's more included in the pack besides the battle and support pokemon
BRING BACK THE VOTE.. please [2]
Demo downloading and Bayonetta Japanese edition already pre-ordered.
Bring back the vote
Yep, bring back the vote!
Just Escapists 2 for me, going to download it tonight but I'll be buying it from the NA store as its $20 there as opposed to £20 in the UK shop. I'm curious about Of Mice and Sand Revised, it received some good reviews when it released in Japan last month. I'll wait for a review I can understand though before deciding whether to buy it. I was interested in Furi but the difficulty is putting me off. I might grab it in a future sale.
That Knights and Castles is a rip off at £26.99.It's £3.49 on Google Play where it goes under the name Crazy Chicken. There are also free versions of it but I'm not sure if those are the same game.
Does Kirby Star Allies have a pre-order discount?
BRING BACK THE VOTE.. please
Bring back the Vote please.
Is it just me, or are we suddenly lacking key features on Nintendolife?
As others have said, bring back the vote and the live feed during Directs!
I'll download the DQ Builders demo, I tried the Vita version for a little while but the Switch version might convince me.
It's also good news that Bayonetta has a discount because I've already bought it on Wii U. It's a pleasant suprise!
Never Stop Sneaking looks fun. Might be tempted.
That Pokkén Tournament DX Bundle price is a cod.
Bring back the vote.
Edit. Please
I can't find the demo of forma.8 in the German eShop.
Can anyone confirm it's available elsewhere in Europe right now?[continued here]
Still no Double Dragon 🙁
Puh-weeze bwing Dubbel Dwagun bac
Did anyone else notice that the vote feature is still missing?
Bring back the vote! (if you would be so kind)
Not sure how much I'd like Bayonetta but I'm tempted by that pre-order discount. (Also there seems to be a mistake on the price of Kirby Star Allies; you've said that it costs £49.99 until 15/03, then will still cost £49.99 after that - presumably it will be cheaper before that date)
Wait. No crazy climber? (I don't have my Switch with me right now so I can't see the eShop.)
"The pink puff is back – in HD – and he's not alone. Kirby is back – and he’s finally on the Nintendo Switch console in HD! But this time, he’s not alone."
Who writes this tat?
Wait... Bayonetta is 30 euro?
No vote? But putting that aside the Pokken Tournament DLC seems very overpriced. I'd maybe go for it if it was like £7.99 or so.
DON'T bring back the vote, please.
Yes, please DON'T bring back the vote!
[addition to my post above]
Just to clarify, i've looked for it in the special demo section of the eShop and the eShop site for the game (where you can continue to the buying screen and add it to your wishlist). Normally there's a button to download the demo version too.
Is it true that tiny metal is MIA
Love your Super Meat Boy super short synopsis!
I love my 3ds, my wii u, my ps4, my pc, my ps3, my tab s 10.5, and my phone. I have to convince my wife that i need a switch as well. She says i have enough stuff ☹
"Nintendo, €59.99 / £49.99 for pre-orders until 15.03.2018, 23:59 local time Regular price €59.99 / £49.99)"
That doesn't seem right
BRING BACK THE VOTE.. please
I'm liking the look of Escapists 2
