@dartmonkey I don’t visit or view them outside of what I see here, and I often find what is plucked out of the bigger picture as the headline or the tagline, makes me feel negative towards them. I’m not a fanboy, I don’t have a Switch2, (currently saving for one, hopefully next year 🤞), but I, likely unfairly, think of them as killjoys trying to take the fun and joy out of this fun and joyful hobby 😅 I don’t mean to offend or upset anyone, I’m just trying to explain. It could be just me, I hope it is Sir. I don’t like negativity there’s enough of it in all our lives, nor do I need everything dressed up. But sometimes the headline alone is a downer, even if the content is not necessarily so.
My dislike of DF comes from how @NintendoLife generally present them here, which I’m sure is not their intention but something to think about. Anyway, good for them I’m sure and I hope it leads to bigger and better things and a happier existence all round for those involved, I’ve no doubt they’re all passionate, talented people.
I took a walk on Wednesday in Newcastle, local coastal area for me here in Northern Ireland. I was wearing my red Mario T-shirt with the big ‘M’ on the front, from the New York Nintendo store, and I had a young boy tell me he liked my top, and another shout ‘Mario!’ at me lol not gonna lie it made my day 😅 I took my son to the cinema yesterday evening and he was wearing his Pikmin jumper, and the wee girl working there told him she loved it 🥰
@Danrenfroe2016 there’s a Switch2 hidden in my house but it’s for my son for Christmas! I’m currently saving for one though, my kids got me a savings tin for Father’s Day and stuck a picture of a Switch2 on it lol
Wow! DOOM 2016 was the first game I downloaded when I got my Switch way back, I’m actually currently playing it right now. I have since bought every DOOM available on Switch, Quake and Quake II, Duke Nukem… all games I loved back in the day, and while I was always fascinated by Hexen and Heretic in the magazines, I never ever played them.
You guys can work away at Judgement Day difficulty, I just generally cannot do that anymore 😆 my gaming skills are definitely aging, sadly lol looks incredible
Once again the SWOLED sku has easily outsold all three iterations of the PS5 combined… in fact, you can tot up the combined sales of the PS5, PS4 and every Microsoft piece of hardware and they still wouldn’t challenge the Nintendo Switch OLED Edition’s sales. That is hilarious.
What a lineup, if accurate! Exciting for those attending, so… when is it?! Ok I can see the date in that post from Twitter or X or blue sky bloody butterfly, whatever app or platform it is these days.
So… something changed, and now something else has to change because of that. Nintendo sure are monstrous… 🙄 nothing to see here folks, and once again I wished I hadn’t bothered clicking. More fool me.
One of my personal Top5 games… ever. I love it, and I remember that 1995 when you boot it up. I adore Donkey Kong Country, but I bought this game almost in defiance of the big deal made about DKC’s graphics.
@Aegis_Runestone to be fair, number one will rarely mean best 😅 but in this case it seems it definitely doesn’t… though I haven’t personally played it!
If I had a Switch 2, I’d consider it’s not just stable, but STABLE. Alas, I do not. My son’s is safely hidden away though and will remain so until December 25th 😆 I am more excited about just how much more STABLE it will be by then, my mind cannot currently conceive the potential stability.
@OorWullie I believe that version is specifically the Switch version! They all have their own editions and would therefore appear individually on this chart.
Nintendo are all OVER that Top40. Beautiful. According to Amazon UK, DKB has sold 10,000+ in the past month, MK8D 3000+ and Mario Kart World just 300 units. This tells us that the vast majority of World’s sales are coming from the bundle… and that Nintendo are doing fantastically well right now.
@SBandy1 put it like this for… certain people. If I go to Amazon UK, it tells me DKB has sold 10K+ in the past month. Mario Kario World has sold 400+ in the past month, that’s 400 units, not four thousand. Believe it or not, MK8D has sold 3K+ in the past month, on Amazon UK. Which game is number one on the official UK charts? Mario Kart World. The vast majority of MKW sales are coming from the hardware bundle, and I’d imagine this trend is being replicated on the majority of platforms, worldwide.
