Someone should make a game like this based on the Knightmare TV show from the old days!

@Guitario That's the first thing I noticed too!

I'd love to see Zero tolerance on here

I remember buying this game from Woolworths years ago. If there was one game I thought I'd never see re-released this would be it. Day 1 purchase!

I used to play this game all the time in PvP on switch and was quite good at it but when they added cross play it was obvious that switch players were at a massive disadvantage ( always the lowest scoring team members etc). Also there was never any problem getting games populated before cross play was added.

@Dragonslacker1. I just went to my local game and couldn't see it on the shelf so I asked if they had it and they had been sent 1 copy and hadn't bothered putting it out. Bought it and it's great so far.

Nice, Rick Grimes' favourite colour!

I know it came west but it never came to the UK, I would love to get Excitebots for the Switch.

@antdickens That comment made me laugh! We've included tech deals but not fashion coz you're gamers and obviously not interested in fashion😀

I am the wonderful 101 commenter. 😀

Cool, I think this is the first Switch shop game to get a sale, I hope more will follow soon.

I was thinking about the mobile app that has voice chat and all that stuff on it, it obviously connects to the switch so it knows what you are playing etc, what if when it is connected to your phone you can use it like apple airplay sort of and the app will be able to stream from your phone to the switch, so you could load up netflix or whatever on your phone then send it to your switch to watch on the tablet or tv if docked. That way you wouldn't need the apps directly on the switch.

Why is everyone complaining about Nintendo re releasing an update game, no one complained when sony put out The last of us on PS4 ( with nothing added ) about 8 months later or Rockstar put out GTA 5 less than a year later at full price, but Nintnedo do it and they're the worst company in the world.

I can't wait, I've proerded a gray switch and Zelda. The initial launch line up is a bit poor, but how many 'game of the year' nominations are switch games going to get this year? Zelda, Mario odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2, Snipperclips I think will all win awards. Not bad for the first 9 months of a new console and Much better than Xbox one or PS4's first year.

There's a Nintendo direct this week about Fire emblem, does anyone think there could/should be a new direct every week until the switch launch going over different things on the system such as VC, UI, eshop, the online service etc just to keep interest up and answer some of the questions people have.

I think Nintendo should keep up momentum all year, after the switch reveal there should be loads of hands on and press events and advertising for it. Then after its release there should be a Direct in about end of April then have a massive E3 show. Nintendo need to keep up excitement and interest in its games and consoles.

@Oubie
Yooka Laylee is still to come and Shantae half genie hero, but thats about it

Well done to whoever done this, its nice to see a bit of positivity in the world. All the best to you and all at Nintendolife.

I'm not just sticking up for Nintendo and I think they are far too cautious in stock levels, but try getting a Playstation VR anywhere for RRP. It seems like everyone congratulates sony for making a popular well received device that sells out but Nintendo do the same and its all either a sinister plan or terrible management.

That looks really easy to play! it would take weeks to finish the first level if you play like that guy.

I think when they reveal the NX they will show loads of big games including, Metroid, FZero, Mario Kart 9, Pikmin 4, all to release within the first year. Nintendo is going to go all in on the NX to give it a good start.

I think the removable controllers could be cool, if they are relatively cheap to make, games could come with there own bespoke controller add ons or custom designs, if your game needs extra face buttons to play just make a right hand side controller piece with more buttons. Also another thing that this enables is removing the controller parts and putting the screen part into a cardboard VR type headset and you have a cheap wireless VR console.
There are a lot of options open with this modular type design if true.

@Alundra-1998. I don't know, its a bit strange, sometimes games which are supposed to be exclusive to certain shops turn up on other sites. Starfox first print edition was supposed to be an exclusive but its available on thgamecollection website now.

On Gameseek UK the top 2 pre order items are the mini NES and the Pokemon Go Plus watch thing, not bad for a company that has hardly any games coming out.

I was just playing Excite Truck yesterday, I love that game! I have even bought a modded Wii and an American copy of Excitebots because it wasn't released in the UK. I would be very happy to get a new Excite game.

I'd love some Xenoblade Chronicles action figures and maybe some Xenoblade X Skell model kits would be cool.

I have been thinking about the NX for a while and came up with a crazy idea, everyone thinks it is a hybrid console, but what if it is a cross platform console, able to connect to the Wii U, Xbox one or the Playstation 4! Here is some 'evidence' from various leaks and patents.

The next console won't have a disc drive. ( it wouldn't need one because it would use the drive in the console it is joined with. )

The patent for a supplemental cloud computing device that people assumed attached to the NX, what if it is the NX and attached to any console to allow you to play Nintendo games on any console.

Nintendo have said they will not abandon current Wii U owners.

Price is said to be around $150, this is doable with this.

10- 15 million units sold in 1st year. With an install base of current gen consoles at over 50 million now this is a good estimate.

Phil Spencer has said a number of times he would like to see Nintendo games on the Xbox.

Nintendo have said they are doing something new that the industry hasn't seen before, could this be it? probably not but I think it could be a winner for everyone if they go this way.

On the Amiibo party video the computer controlled players had 2D paper cut out figures on the board, do you think this is what the Amiibo cards could be like? I always assumed they would be just like trading cards but they could be pop out shapes on thick card with the chip in a base section.

I was one of the people who got a Wii U from amazon at £150 a couple of weeks back. I already had got a black one on launch day but for £150 I couldn't resist getting one for the kids room.
It will be interesting to see where we are in 12 months time, the Wii U will have a decent selection of games and the Xbox1 and PS4 will be enduring there own game droughts.
