It used to be a pain to cancel recurring billing on Xbox Live because you couldn't do it from the console and had to use a PC. Now I believe that you can also access it from the Xbox.

I'm not sure about PSN as I haven't used it for a couple of years now and there was no way that I'd put my details on their network after all their security issues.

Nintendo network is easy to cancel the auto renew as it's simply a checkbox.

@LetsGoSwitch
It's a fantastic show, the best on TV for me along with Agents of Shield.

I dont know what Reign is but I'm tempted by the GoT connection.

@nessisonett
It certainly gives him something to chew on.

@ImagineerNik
You do have to hold it, but I guess you can use the joycons while holding it. Not sure how easy that will be though.

I would have expected to see this announcement 3 days ago.

I'm getting Labo VR for my birthday, but now I might have to get BOTW too.

@Itzdmo
My wife says the answer is 2.

I think that I'd pick this over Cuphead.
Although Cuphead looks prettier, Mechsterminstion looks like more fun.

@Anti-Matter
Including cue balls:
Billards is played with 3 balls.
Snooker is played with 22 balls.
Pool is played with 16 balls.

I never liked Hendry much with his goldfish face.

If it was Hurricane Higgins then I'd be more interested. You could play a game of snooker and then go pee up a plant pot for bonus points.

@PBandSmelly
I had MP1, MP2 on NGC and MP3 on Wii. Then I bought the steel book collection on the Wii and then the digital version on Wii U. So I've bought the trilogy 3 times already.

I may have to quadruple dip on the Metroid Prime Trilogy (already have it on NGC, Wii and Wii U).

@ThanosReXXX
My Wii U still gets regular play alongside my Switch and Xbox One X. I could never get rid of it either as my VC library across the Wii/Wii U is massive.

I have Darksiders on the Xbox 360 and I thought it was ok. It doesnt quite hit the heights of the games that it draws inspiration from but it's certainly worth a play. Not quite enough for me to double dip on it though.

Is this game is a piss take?

@TheFox
I think its mostly due to laziness. Back in the 8 bit days devs would have to perform magic to get games working on much weaker hardware. Now it seems like they just slap the code onto whatever and be done with it.

Other than some really huge games (like RDR2) I dont feel that there are many games from the PS4/XBO gen that couldn't have been achieved in the PS3/360 gen.

@Moviebuff1981
I would contact Nintendo and ask for a refund. Such a thing would not usually be granted but given the misrepresentation surrounding this game I would think they would do it.

@Agramonte
I'm all for cheaper versions of games that cant reach parity with the PS4/XBO versions, or even customized Switch versions (like Konami did with PES on the Wii).

This game has no excuse though. It's not pushing the hardware at all and the PS4 version looks like it should be the Switch version, so its poor on all platforms. Those 'no graphics' budget indies look better than this.

If it is a printing error I'd be more likely to buy it. I really like my Resident Evil Revelaitons 3DS case.

@Agramonte
The Switch may have the lowest userbase but many multiplatform games have sold more on the Switch than on the PS4/XBO. So properly optimizing a game for the platform seems like a smart move to me if they want it to sell.

@JayJ
I would expect the Switch version of this game to look identical to the XBO version; the reason being that the XBO version looks awful too!

I'm not sure if its lazy or unskilled devs making some of these games this gen, but some games that have to make 'Switch sacrifices' look like they could have run fine on a Xbox 360.

The format is definitely a good idea and helps keep customers informed throughout the year.

It seemed strange that they wouldn't plug Days Gone in the State of Play seeing as it releases next month. Going forward they should use it to highlight the big upcoming games (Ghosts, TLOU2, Death Stranding) and fill the rest of the time with smaller or VR games.

I'm not sure how Sony will do going into the next gen. They've had an easy ride with the PS4 but with streaming networks looming and diminishing returns with tech they could have a harder time with the PS5 (outside of the UK).

@pbb76
I would have expected the PS4 to look like the eShop video, but PS4 version looks more like what I'd expect from the Switch and the Switch version looks like a bad game release for the Wii U.

The eShop video doesn't even inspire F-Zero vibes to me and even at that quality it would be a pass.

@carlos82
The farsight gun in Perfect Dark was fun, as whenever someone got targeted they'd inevitably start looking at the other screen and trying to dodge it.

I bought it for the Xbox 360 when they remastered it (and have it on Rare Replay), but it wasn't anywhere near as fun playing online multiplayer.

A solid single player campaign that did justice to the source material and one of the most fun local multiplayer experiences ever.

The moment when everyone would see somebody pick up a golden gun and it would just erupt into mass panic was really special.

@rjejr
I think that it's an elephant just because of how the control scheme works. You have to hold the unit to your face and use a joycon in front of it. When they tethered it on there I guess they just thought it looked like an elephant, I can't see any other reason.

The Labo VR kits look great and the kids are going to have a blast with these.

The 3DS AR seemed perfect for a Pokemon Snap sequel, as did the Wii U GamePad, but nothing ever came of either. Instead they brought Pokemon Go.

Now the Labo VR with the camera attachment again looks perfect, but again there's no Snap. Maybe we'll be surprised at E3 with an eShop game with additional VR compatibility.

It sounds more feature packed than I expected and it's good to hear that Nintendo have a solid approach to the tech even in such a low end form.

I dont think that VR is really ready to take over yet (if ever), but I do plan on getting an Oculus Quest and Labo VR this year.

Ori and the Blind Forest is a certainty.

Hopefully Rare Replay will come over too. The older games would look a lot better on the Switchs little screen instead of on my 75" TV.

@TJWorks
I played this last weekend on the Xbox and some of the newer monsters are quite ridiculous. The XYZ ones were probably the most annoying because they're summoned just by having 2 monsters of the same level and then because the summoned XYZ monster has ranks instead of levels they are immune to a lot of spells and traps.

I dont think that a streaming service will be much of a threat to Nintendo. People buy the Switch either for the 1st party games or the portability; neither of which can be achieved by streaming. If anything if these services are offered on the Switch then it could be an even more appealing platform as it would have the great Nintendo exclusives and be able to stream the big 3rd party games.

Microsoft and Sony could be in more trouble, although Microsoft have already been touting XBL and Gamepass which will likely be in a streaming form.

I've been bemoaning Konami for years about not bringing their classic games, so I'm super excited for these. The arcade Gradius series are my all-time favorite shmups, so it'll be a day one purchase.

It seems a little odd not to have Haunted Castle in the Castlevania collection though, as even though it wasn't branded as such in the west it is really a Castlevania arcade game. Still I'm going to get both collections anyway (probably skip Contra though), so it doesn't matter.

Well I've been dipping my Switch in water for 10 minutes now and I still dont see a code. :/

All of the above for the Switch.

This looked interesting to me when it appeared on the eShop even though I'm not a big F1 fan. I'll likely wait for a sale though as I dont have the time to sink into it.

About price parity, it depends on how the mobile version is structured. For example I'd rather pay more for a version of a game that doesn't have lots of microtransactions over a free one with lots of $ unlocks.

To ride me over until The Black Order releases I picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the Wii, as it's not available on Xbox/PS anymore and it was only $5.

The kids have been into Yugioh this weekend, so we have been playing Legacy of the Duelist on Xbox One.

If I have any time left I'll try and squeeze in a bit of Final Fantasy IX.

I'll probably pick Rico up when it's on sale as my current backlog is too big right now. I'm tempted to get Ikari Warriors though, I played through the C64 version recently and having a portable arcade version would be pretty cool.

Between the Wii/U, 3DS and Xbox One I think that I already own most of the Castlevania games. I skew towards the old style games, with SCIV being my favourite in the series. If the collection features a complete range from NES to Arcade to PS3 then I would definitely buy it, otherwise probably not.

What I'd really like from Konami is an arcade perfect Gradius collection on the Switch, but that will never happen.

Final Fantasy IX
Super Mario Party
DOA6
Republic Commando

So buy this port of an old game and we might give you a new game.

Would this mean that they'll port RE2 as well? Supposedly the reason that wouldn't get ported was because of the engine not running on the Switch, so if they adapt it for DMC5 then any of the games using it should be feasible.

@Gerbwmu
Wasn't Turok 2 one of the few games that could use the N64 RAM pack?

I liked both games back on the N64 but they've not aged well. The price is ridiculous too, around $10 each would be more reasonable.

F-Zero X is my favorite of the series. The original felt fast and had great controls, it felt really good sliding around the corners ; but X just upped the stakes in every way. Faster, 30 racers and tracks that looped and swerved every which way.

Now GX is obviously technically superior, but it didnt click with me like the previous games did. I think Nintendo games usually nail the feel of the controls and GX just didnt completely have that for me, it felt like 90% there, whether it be because of the game or the NGC controller.

I didn't buy a Switch at launch as there wasn't enough games (got BOTW on the Wii U) but I picked it up 6 months later for Mario Odyssey. Now I use my Xbox One X for 4K movies and the big 3rd party releases; while the Switch provides me awesome gaming on the go and lots of family fun Its a great combination.

The Switch has been a good purchase and Ive bought more games for it in a year and a half than I have in 4 years on the PS4/XBO.
With games like Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 ahead the next couple of years should be just as good.

I'd like it to have the Wii U/3DS style tabs on the main page to take you to certain content. I just found those eShops much more friendly feeling than other stores.

The eShop works ok for me though, I check New Releases, Great Deals, Coming Soon and the Featured games each week and I'm more likely to notice indie games on there than I am on the Xbox store.

This weekend I'll be playing DOA6 on the Xbox One X and Final Fantasy IX on the Switch.

I thought they released these for $20 each on the PS3/360 and now they're are charging $40 on the Switch. That isn't a Switch tax, its daylight robbery. They'll likely just be the same upscaled HD versions, which I thought looked a bit weird because of some of the lower quality assets. I'm doubtful that they'll even patch in motion controls either as support was a bit sketchy on the HD releases.

I'll likely be sticking with my Wii copies, as I think RE4 in particular is the definitive version.

I'll just stick with my Wii versions thank you, they should be near half that price..

I'm probably good for my RE fix anyway as I've still not finished RE2 Remake.

@PENGUINOFGOTHAM
Saints Row the Third is $14.99 on the Xbox One store, the dlc package is $9.99. So if they made it $25 - $30 on the Switch it might be reasonable.

@Gs69
As both were made by Hideki Kamiya it's not surprising that DmC and Bayonetta are similar.

There's no chance of DmC5 because it's made with the engine that RE7 and RE2 remake (the original another Kamiya game) used; so it would have to be retooled or streamed to be on the Switch. Ports of DmC 1 - 4 would seem a bit pointless, as the aforementioned Bayonetta has superseded them. I'm much more excited for Bayonetta 3 than DmC5.

So far Capcom is just throwing it's old catalog at the Switch to make easy money. I bought the Street Fighter collection and Okami but I'm not buying any more (unless it's a PS1 or arcade Strider port).

Macaulay Culkin Home Alone playing toejam and earl, hoping it'll make an Uncle Buck and make him Ritchie Rich.

If it had the Benny Hill music play as you run around being chased then I would buy it.

@Lionyone
I prefer the Switch dashboard due to its simplicity. The Xbox dash has too much clutter and most of it seems like forced advertising. Both are miles better than the PS4s though.
