Re: The First DLC Pack For Minecraft Dungeons Launches This July

Beermonkey

It's going to be a title that will improve with patches. My son is desperate to play this with me but not going to be able to due to working through till second week of June. See the little spud for half hour in the morning and not back till after his bedtime. Do get updates on how well he is doing on his 2DS though.

Re: Don't Worry eShop Users, You'll Still Receive "All 3 Titles" If You Buy The Borderlands Legendary Collection

Beermonkey

@mikegamer grab the free PC version and play that then. I've sadly got borderlands games on Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox one, vita and PC (acquired on a humble bundle and like BioShock got upgraded.) Switch versions were a no brainer still as portable and can have a blast in bed or on break in work. The value is subjective to each person. To me I can't wait to plough more time into them.

Re: EA Set To Launch "Multiple" Titles On Nintendo Switch In 2020

Beermonkey

Like a lot of people on here I think dead space trilogy (hell even throw in the mobile game I still have installed on my phone as a bonus) is perfect for switch release. Mass effect. Garden warfare would be excellent. An actual sequel to plants Vs zombies without horrid microtransactions (I know it's EA.) A popcap collection! So many great casual popcap games!

Re: How To Fix Your Nintendo Switch When It Won't Turn On Or Charge

Beermonkey

Thought my switch was dead a while back but found a HUGE bit of green fluff from my son's favourite cuddly toy in the charging slot. I am however ready to change the fan and thermal paste this weekend when I finish work. Release switch starting to sound like a helicopter even on games that aren't taxing. £20 for all parts so cheaper than getting back to big N.

Re: Animal Crossing Villagers Are Now Referencing Brewster, Is A Coffee Shop Update Imminent?

Beermonkey

I miss the playable Nes games from the GameCube version. About as much as I miss. Loved it in the day but the changes they've made since make it so much more enjoyable. Posting fossils away to be appraised! Spent half my playing time doing that! More content added the better though. I sound like a stuck record but DLC fits perfectly for this game. Drip feeding new content. Nothing worse than that sense of pride finishing a museum collection followed by the realisation that there is nothing new to find. Keep it coming Nintendo!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct Mini?

Beermonkey

@dethmart we can but hope. Nintendo will have the big guns out for NOT E3 to combat the next gen consoles. June ain't that far away for what would have been E3 so happy to wait though. Busy paying Nook the crook back for my extension while self isolating (son and wife suffering with cough and temperatures. I'm symptom free!) so animal crossing will keep me busy till a ton of games drop on 29th May.

Re: Nintendo Of America Employee Tests Positive For COVID-19

Beermonkey

I changed jobs in January and have started working in a doctor's surgery. I can see why this spreads so rapidly as we are still getting people in with cold like symptoms despite all the advice to stay away and self isolate. People are not paying attention. People didn't take things seriously. People are filthy creatures who need telling how to wash their hands (come on people.) People are now in panic when calm heads prevail. Every day I'm coming into work and new guidelines come up. This could and should have been avoided. But this isn't the first time and isn't going to be the last time a virus does this. Just want to say to all here to keep calm, wash (just honestly it isn't hard) and hope you all stay healthy. Off now to get coughed at by the general public...

Re: Nintendo's Request To Dismiss Joy-Con Drift Lawsuit Gets Rejected

Beermonkey

I've been lucky with my launch switch. Had the disconnecting issue but they happily repaired that. My mother in law's however had drift. It was out of warranty so fixed it myself. Possibly one of the easiest repairs I've done. Still believe Nintendo should have been doing this for free from the beginning. I've never had issues with Nintendo customer services and once could have kissed the chap who sent me a GBA micro faceplate from his actual desk when I couldn't source any.

Re: Nintendo PlayStation Sells For Significantly Less Than Was Previously Offered

Beermonkey

I picture in my head a drunk millionaire, kabab in one hand, sat in his boxers and half squinting with one eye to focus on his monitor while he puts his highest bid in. Putting a winning bid in only to think wtf the following morning...
Now take millionaire out of that quote and it's how I got an autograph of the actor who played Billy in gremlins on eBay. To this day I have no idea why I bought it. Well apart from the raging session I had on absinth.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 9.2.0 Is Now Live

Beermonkey

I've never had a problem with stability updates apart from the name. Would prefer if they came out and actually said what the back ground fixes where or just full on said sometimes "anti pirating measures." When they say stability it means nothing to the end user. Still have hopes update 10 will be the big one with actual features for the end user. I would love something other than black and white themes. Hell would even take grey as a third option at the moment.
