The last time I had to do homework was about a quarter of a century ago but I am currently working from home and I'm not convinced that listening to Mario Kart music would be productive for me. I'm pretty sure it would just make me think 'I could turn the Switch on and just have one quick game.' 😆

They suggested that unless you're a fan of GI Joe then this might not be your cup of tea, I don't see the problem with this.
I've played very good games based on franchises I wouldn't normally go for just because I'd heard that the game was good. I've also played some pretty ropey games based on franchises I was a big fan of and had bought based on the name. It read to me that they are indifferent to the GI Joe franchise and the game is mediocre but might appeal to fans, sounds pretty reasonable in my opinion.

I've ordered mine purely for nostalgia and it will make a nice little desk clock. I really don't think that even if you could hack the entire NES library onto this it would be the optimum way to play them. It just looks lovely.

I thought the commercial was pretty naff but it did the job perfectly as it explained exactly what the Switch was and the basic concept of the Switch is amazing.

I love my Wii U but it was kind of like a half baked prototype of the Switch and advertising was pretty much non existent.

I primarily buy Nintendo systems because I want to be able to play their first party exclusives but I also like to play third party titles too without having to buy another console.

I'm pleased MK11 did well, I bought it a few months ago and I think it's decent. Given the install base of the Switch I think people will definitely be prepared to buy a reasonable port on Switch, even if it's just for the portability. Perhaps EA could learn a lesson on this point.

I enjoyed it but have left it for a while because I got stuck on the later areas and had bought a load of other games. I might revisit it now as this has reminded me it was pretty good. If it's a budget release for Xbox One and PS4 it may sell a few units but a lot of it was designed with the gamepad in mind.

@Nico07 I haven't seen any ssm comments on Splatoon but I'm sure there are some out there. I'm more bothered about someone scrawling "F*** off c***" on Wii Sports Club, Nintendo are pretty good at clamping down on idiots but as my son is starting to read I'd prefer not to have to explain things like that!

Who is really that bothered about a same sex marriage in a game? Are there not more important things going on in the world to be concerned about?

For £10 as a download, I'll take it. That and Arkham City for £12:50 there are some benefits to owning a console that's not selling so well just at the moment, hopefully sales will pick up from tomorrow.
