@Kilroy thanks very much for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into ordering one

I really like the VR in this. Looks good and the game's visuals are simplistic enough for the low resolution to not be too distracting.

Unfortunately the lack of a head strap on the Labo VR breaks the immersion a bit as you can't use the headset alongside motion controls.

Still, this is a pretty good effort and one of my favourite Switch VR experiences so far.

The slow, shambling death of Game is due to the company itself, nobody else.

It's not just the fact they're overpriced. They've alienated gamers by trying to appeal to the casual market. Half the store is taken up by mobile phones. Most of the rest is pricy games merch.

Staff are under trained with little to no knowledge of the games they're selling.

You get harassed at the till to buy extras on top of your game. No, I don't need 2 years of insurance on a switch cartridge, ta.

I feel for anyone who is going to lose their job, but this is undoubtedly a good riddance. Hopefully a new retailer rises to plug the gap, cos I do think there's a market for a games shop on the modern High Street. CeX is evidence of that.

@Spoony_Tech Sure you'll be fine - your scores on the 3DS version were insane!

@FriedSquid I got confused when I read Dusknoir! If they dropped two gens on the same day I'd be way more tempted into redownloading...

Definitely buying, given the amount of hype surrounding this game. Great price as well!

Why is this game so much cheaper on Switch than on Steam? Maybe Circle want to replicate Kamiko'a performance with a small price point?

Just bought it anyway. Not often games are cheaper on Switch

What?! No way, this is exciting news! Didn't expect this series to return.

Well damn, this seems spot on.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE They didn't, they just wanted Wii U owners - desperate for new games on the system - to give them money, so they claimed that they would make a version for the console.

It's a very successful and widely used tactic on Kickstarter.

It's nice to hear stories like this, and I always take solace in the fact that, if I were to suffer from any kind of disability or impairment in the future, I could continue to enjoy video games thanks to Nintendo releases such as Rhythm Paradise, 1 2 Switch and Mario Kart 8.

It's part of what makes the company special - the ethos that games "should be one thing - fun. Fun for everyone."

Dammit, I'm a sucker for a great rhythm game and was relieved when Dark Witch turned out to be average. Now I really wanna buy this. I have exams for God's sake

Christ, the whinging on this thread.
Nintendo owes you nothing.
I didn't manage to get one. It's a shame, but I can play any of the games in several different forms. Other than that, the console itself is a novelty item; barely more than a toy - aren't we all a bit too old to get so worked up over missing out on it?

Why did they begin by offering full software downloads and then regress into unappealing discounts? I saved my points back when games such as Pilotwings and Mario 64 were available and now I feel really silly

Who said the Wii U is dead?

It's not Bayonetta 3.

More tiny discounts. I regret not buying the Virtual Console games when they were available

No amiibo?

What happened to Tomorrow Corp's games?

Wonder if Joysound will make an app for Switch? The console seems perfect for Karaoke.

@Lizuka Awesome! I love the guy's cute drunk animation

I'm so excited for harvest moon 64! I assume they'll be removing the alcohol from it though?

That's really cool! The first was really enjoyable on 3DS so I'm looking forward to this

No way! Hope it hits Europe soon and is as good as the first

The audience is there, Psyonix. RL is always one of the top requested 3rd party games for Switch. I do think the Nintendo audience will enjoy this game as well, as it is good simple fun with hidden depth; a very Nintendo-like game.

Couldn't have even stretched to offer the NES Zeldas as gold point rewards? My Nintendo is awful.

Yeah I'll buy Cave Story again. Who wouldn't?
That and VVVVVV are two of the finest indie platformery I've played.

It has to be half the price of Xbox Live/PS+ max to even remotely be worth it.
If Nintendo show some restraint in the pricing of this service then I don't mind playing.

Nearly everything Robertson says comes across as very safe guesswork to me.

@allav866 Nope

@ScottishJR Today is a bank holiday. They don't normally announce updates on bank holidays.

With every new set of "rewards" I regret not buying the full download games when they were still available.

I get that Nintendo shut down Club Nintendo because it wasn't financially worth it. I'm just annoyed that they pretended to replace it. Just admit that you don't like giving away free stuff.

@YouSeemFRAZZLED A few months? More like a few days

I'd buy this because I'm a sucker for NFC figures, but the game does look like it needs work.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy That Poochy amiibo is the sole reason I'm glad this game exists.

Never change, Nintendo Life comments...

Maybe of they didn't release a whole new game and expensive line of toys every single year people would have remained interested.

Why do media create insist on tracking every form of 3DS separately while grouping together the two different PS4s?

Port the original Gnomz game! That game was great fun in multiplayer.

new3DS runs unity doesn't it?

I'm really impressed with what nintendos done so far. They just need to make sure the online infrastructure is top notch and they're onto a winner.

Did anyone else really enjoy Shinobi 3DS? It got a bit rubbish at the end but was a solid game overall.

Now port it to 3DS.

I. Am. TUROK!

This needs to come to NX.

@Grandpa_Pixel Well colour me surprised!

£20 eshop card? That's interesting, as the available cards are normally £15, £25 and £50.

My Nintendo is poop

Glad I haven't downloaded yet

@Samurai_Goroh Ghost Recon Online was never released.

Well that made me sad. Guess I'll buy Axiom Verge to cheer me up. Good luck to him and his son.
