Double dipped (original and definitive edition) on Xbox one. Triple dipped to get it on Switch. Zero regrets. Beautiful game. Have game pass ultimate till Dec 2022 thanks to live I had + £2 ultimate offer + ring pulls from a certain energy drink with gears 5 promo so will get sequel.
The GameCube. Never have I had so much fun with a games console only to see non of my friends having one. They really missed out. Only the second console I've had that I've bought 4 controllers for. First being the Dreamcast. I see an unhealthy pattern of consoles I've bought to success rate of said console... (Not mentioning the Atari jaguar, neo Geo pocket and 3do I had.)
You just bought a new product. It's fails. You get it replaced.... No you start a class action lawsuit.... Yes if it's true Nintendo dropped the ball but come on people.
Me and my wife played these on Wii and PS3 with move controllers (I played it on Dreamcast with the amazing light gun). Have a real soft spot for them. Wonder how they will work with joy cons. So many arcade games would work great on the switch. Crazy Taxi and outrun 2 should be next!
Quick edit. Sega bass fishing and it's spin offs would be great too. Would work well with joy con.
My cheap 8bitdo adapter knock off has hit the UK according to my tracking (£6 from AliExpress.) Will use it with my SNES controller I got through the Stars Catalogue. Oh how I miss thee physical items as rewards!
I prefer beer, food and gaming! Explains why I'm rather rotund now a days. Sure some folks will enjoy this but I'm not in. Did enjoy some of the games using balance board in the past. Hopefully something worth while will utilise this.
Gets really excited... Checks time... Realises it's the start of my shift... Can't even sneak off for a "poo" to watch it! I'm desperate for a Direct though.
@blockfight Most if not all have made it to me at launch. Got my new 3ds a couple of days before launch with them. Watch out for sales as well as can grab good bargains with them.
If I didn't have both already on PC and switch (first on Xbox one, Wii U and vita as well) then would be all over this. Couldn't recommend these enough.
@bLiNdSiDe82 Not always the case. Grandparents were both deaf. The deaf community at one point where against cochlear Implant surgery. I asked someone once about this and the answer was "Why correct something that's part of me". Given this isn't the complete views of everyone and rightly so (freedom of choice and all).
@nhSnork I wish I could have read into what he has said the way you have. Yes having an opinion is everyone right. Stereotyping is also something we all do. Making an opinion by stereotyping... every right to...
@Zuljaras Say that to anyone with a disability. I've dealt with people in the deaf community, Down syndrome and general LD conditions and they don't see themselves in a negative way. In fact they are usually proud of who they are.
Also the response to knowing someone with AS. Surely your answer to that is generally an answer to be given to any person in general not aimed at people with a "Mental condition". I possibly found more "normal" people I dislike than people with LD. I currently work with people with LD and dementia. I dislike the staff more than the clients.
@Zuljaras You met many people with Asperger syndrome? I have a nephew with it (amazing lad who has gone on to do amazing things via college and university) and have worked with people with it. Not one has been prone to violence or abusive behaviour. Though there are "Mental conditions" that result in these behaviours it's usually more towards the higher end of autism spectrum.
Monkey Ball + Switch = Perfect fit! Have said this from the first time I got my sweaty mits on my switch release day. Perfect for popping joycons off for a quick multiplayer. Can't wait. Definitely a day one for me. Monkey target all the way...
@BAN I got a slap on wrist for saying s*** myself. S*** myself... S***. My. Self... Anyway do love this site and the community is slightly less venomous than other sites (cough, IGN, cough.) This is a game being released so can understand the article but do question some of the mods censorship.
S*** my self ...
(And you have been censored again. We don't like swear words here, to keep the site friendly for all.)
(On an adult related article... Well played mods... Well played...)
@Silly_G Will ask my wife to put it on the shopping list thank you. Do agree pornography is too readily available and am dreading my 4yr growing up. However I am very much in favour of people who are of the age and mind to make a decision to watch porn, let them. This game however is not porn. It's adult entertainment. That's been around for years whether it has been literature, film or any other form of media. It's aimed at adults who are able to differentiate between real life and entertainment. This is why rating systems are in place and should quite rightly be enforced.
This has been sat on my switch waiting for a day I can play it without distraction with music up... The moon's have aligned (day off in the week, wife in work and kid in school.) That day is today!... Cue my wife with a list as long as my arm to throw a spanner in the works! Get her out the door before she realises.
Forgettable character name of Alec Mason. Awful... (Remember that my own name is Alan Mason and is only 2 letters off said name. Cries quietly in the corner.)
On a different note have some credit for returned game at an online retailer. Tempted to get this as had so much fun playing online with friends on Xbox 360. I'm off now to go be a forgettable character in real life...
For me it's the offline cups and unlocking of extra content by having to be online. Currently using my switch away from home so connecting to the internet isn't possible. Other than that it's bloody good.
@CarpeDiem Good catch... More Zelda is always good. Also have a soft spot for oracles games. Only birthday gift I ever got from my ex that was any good. Got them and a GBA for my 21st. God I'm old.
I had a good time with the first game. Double dipped Xbox and switch. It somehow felt more at home on switch. Day one for me as no Donkey Kong on the horizon.
Thank goodness for that. Have had my dealings with him in the past... Never reset on purpose (power cuts, ds running out of power, 3ds went through a phase of random freezing before a Nintendo repair) and can say it's worse than being told off by my wife. Though it's close on how much they both go on, and on, and on... Glad he will be in it still. Looking forward to next year. Side note what a year it's going to be. Especially at E3. Nintendo saved it this year but next year we will have Sony and Microsoft doing their willy waving about next gen and no doubt Nintendo Will have some special stuff hidden away too. Great time to game people!
Hi my name is beermonkey. I have been amiibo clean now for 12 months. I haven't even thought of buying an amiibo... Oh no... No... Why... (See's Snake amiibo as well.) Noooooooooo!...
This surly could have been a free patch then for FIFA 19 owners? Awfully EA. Just watching Star Wars gameplay... Looks okay... Again this year EA doing nothing for me!
I might go media black out till after E3 now. No doubt more leaks will come. Thankfully this one doesn't appeal but taking no chances. See you all for the Nintendo stream. Till then take care all.
@Mamabear Double Dash... Picture a sleepy English town. A factory that had 4 people on a night shift. As long as they out produced the day shift everyone was happy. However the day shift were lazy. The night shift could produce double in 6 hours. What to do with the last 6 hours of the shift? Hidden telly. Back pack with GameCube and 4 controllers. Bosses drinks machine key for unlimited coffee he taped to the bottom of his desk. Mario kart double dash. Best job I ever had... A distant memory but makes it the best mario kart (though many will disagree) for me. Baby park, frantic and full laps. Looser gets the coffees. DK mountain is my favourite track ever in any MK game. Seeing a grown man loose it and throw a chair and cutlery because of a blue shell followed by lightening while we all can't stop laughing... Great great times.
Dusted off my GameCube. I will be participating in Mario Party games, Double Dash, Luigi's mansion and a nice collection of other less family friendly titles when my son has gone to bed (Eternal Darkness and Twin snakes). I would love Nintendo to port some of these over. Don't want to see my animal crossing town, would compulsively tidy up every weed before doing anything!
