Re: UK Charts: Yes, Two Mario Kart Games Are In The Top Ten

Nice to see Hogwarts performing so well, especially on Nintendo hardware. Lots of Switch games getting a boost too. Good times, hope it keeps up. For Father’s Day my kids got me a money tin with a pic of a Switch 2 slapped on to it, so the saving for my own has officially commenced 😆

Re: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Mario Kart World Tech Review - "Nintendo's Artistry Stands Out The Most Here"

I have the hardware bundle with MKW, it’s for my son, for Christmas. I cannot imagine I would fork out the £74.99 retailers are currently asking for MKW. I don’t think I will EVER spend that, at once, on one single game, no matter what it is or who it’s from. I bought MK8 at launch for Wii U, and I got Pikmin 3 free at the same time. I bought the DLC too, on Wii U. I have since bought MK8D digitally, on sale, for my Switch, and bought another copy for my daughter when she wanted her own Switch a few Christmas’ ago. When I (hopefully) get my own Switch 2 at some point in 2026, I’ll be extremely picky about what games I get, because of cost. That’s just the way it is gonna have to be for me.

I’ve been playing a lot of MK8D this week, my daughter and her boyfriend are playing Super Mario 3D World right now on her Switch, and my son has been LOVING Splatoon 3 all over again just recently, so he’s been flat out on that on his Switch. There’s one Switch2 in our house right now but it’s safely hidden till December 25th. I sincerely hope I can get one for myself in 2026. Have fun everyone!

@Qwiff Yoshi’s Woolly World… I honestly fell in love with that game from the very first, single screenshot I saw in Official Nintendo Magazine, a long time ago 😆 it was ages before it actually released but I absolutely adored it when it did. Still stunning to look at and so much fun to play. Yoshi’s Island is one of my favourite games ever and for my Woolly World is right up there with it.

Re: Random: Switch 2 Owners Are Already Stripping Down Joy-Con To Check The Stick Tech

They’re gonna be fine, I honestly believe. They’ll certainly not be, if the first thing people do is strip them. I had to get two pairs repaired, and never had the problem again. Three Switch in my house, two OG models and one revision. Two pro controllers too, which still work perfectly, despite seeing a LOT of use over these years! There’ll be a Switch 2 by this evening, but it’ll be swiftly hidden till 25th December 😆 Have fun everyone.

@sanderev yeah, I’d love one myself but I really like that the first Switch 2 in my house will be my son’s alone, as much as I want one myself. Same for the Switch 1, he got his from Santa and I got one the following May for myself. I would have waited but I was afraid of missing out on the MKW hardware bundle, so secured it with my flexible friend.

@JohnnyMind I’m happy that you’re happy for us all! Some people will go to the bother of saying this ain’t for me, or they’re not interested and that’s it. At least if it’s not something you’re not personally interested in, you understand and appreciate that it will please someone else. I love it 👍
