Would much prefer it if the stick was gold too, and not black with gold underneath.

Got a friend waiting for me to play Splatoon Raiders online... I've just been travelling and got really into Ball X Pit, but I should make the time because Raiders sounds and looks like my Salmon Run dreams come true

@Lizuka likewise. I predict I will never play it again

I bought this, then ignored it for a full year. Let's see how long I can ignore it... if I don't pick it up before Switch Sports Resort then it is unlikely to fulfil its Christmas wish and get used.

Why would this be a Game Key Card, yet Split fiction is a download code in a box?

Is this DlC accessible if we've not yet freed Onix or fixed a Pokemon centre?

Why is Adventures of Elliot not in-store anywhere and even unavailable online??? Did I miss something?

Co-op'd with the 8 year old this past year on Split Fiction, Mario Galaxy, DK Bananza, currently working through It Takes Two, and then onto Marvel Cosmic Invasion. She's really good at the puzzles, gets me unstuck quite often!!! I think she's going to fall in love with the Orbitals style because she's massively into anime.Very pumped for this, and pre-ordered the Japanese version already!

@SpinEnDash I remember going through the waterfall on 3DS and N64, but beyond that I always assumed there was some distinct 2nd path in a similar vein for the other routes I could see. It seems not, but now I know more so this will spur me on to get all the routes ✊🏼

@HalBailman Yeah its pretty exciting to see that there is a "True ending" so I get to play the old game I love and now know that accessing the "new" content (new to me at least) is going to be much more possible so I'm gonna get all this new stuff, its gonna feel like DLC to me 🥹

North American obviously... it really makes me feel the game so much more. Also, the thing I really like about US versions is the certification is B+W which goes with everything, unlike the EU Pegi rating which often starkly contrasts the cover art or really gets in the way.

Already pre-ordered!

It wasn't until the Starfox direct that I knew there was a submarine level, and I played and completed both 64 and 3DS versions. I never could identify the alternate routes, that was just a gaming mystery to me. So... I have to abstain from this poll because most of these levels I have no idea what you're talking about!

GP Mode + a new Island please. But those Knockout slots tell me we're not getting either of this things for a long time...

Starfox sold out a couple of days before its release on Amazon and I could only get it from Argos in the end. Okay, that makes sense, but why is Adventures of Elliot not available for delivery before 24th July on Amazon and not selling as strong?

I wasn't gonna get Elliot, but it just looks so beautiful... I'll pick it up somewhere when I get back to the UK.

Lets imagine its 2018 and my answer is Celeste, because I've only just tried it and absolutely loving the learning curviness of it. Love the challenge, die, repeat formula... already lined up the 2D Super Meat Boys and pre-ordered the 3D special edition physical.

Basically I think I haven't played GOTY yet... I'd guess it is possible to be:

Orbitals (70% chance)
Switch Sports Resort (80% chance)
Mouse PI For Hire (50% chance)
Adventures of Elliot (30% chance)
Indy and the Massive Circle (60% chance)

@mlt Mario 64 with free control of the camera also please!

Also... bring back the toys! I couldn't afford them with my pocket money in the 90s, but my work gives me much more pocket money now!

@JohnnyMind A Micro Machines "Rewind" type game, with the original Mega Drive Game, Turbo Tournament, '96, Military, and 64 would be epic epicness. These games taught me how to drive in video games! Real love for these games

Well, that makes an easy decision to sell my unplayed Switch 1 version then 👍🏻

I need this to have a proper offline mode, like the original Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. That tennis offline levelling up against the NPCs became absolutely diabolical, but when we eventually beat the champions it was such a glorious moment! Boxing too, had a great run of NPC opponents to hone your skills on. I need more of this, rather than leaning so heavily on the online + local multiplayer.

Still got my N64 and recently bought the Analogue 3D. Glorious machine!

Too late... Nate the Hate already got everything out 🤷‍♀️

@infernogott Came here to say exactly this. Love that game!

MKW DLC - a new island with 16 new / revamped tracks, New Switch Sports with baseball and boxing with good comp players and a single player offline mode, OOT, F-Zero, and...

ZELDA Movie Teaser = "one more thing"

All on cart = 100% take my money

I'm surprised by the disappointed reactions to this... I think it looks great! I've not play any Yooka-Laylee games and though they look good, I've been hesitant. I went into this article thinking it would just be a quick read that wouldn't grab me, but this looks and sounds like such a unique spin. Personally I love this 2D-HD thing but do not have the time and patience for an RPG where this style is mostly employed right now. So to see a genuinely beautiful looking kart racer use that style with some cool sounding gameplay mechanics is awesome 🤩

@KoopaTheGamer I equipped it! It was right there all along... feeling very silly, so maybe me and Silk Song might get along after all 🥹

@EarthboundBenjy I did it... equipped the compass which was right there all along. And suddenly I feel very silly.

Looks like I'm gonna get the physical for the map and make a proper go of this 🙏🏼

The Bouldergeist Daredevil run was almost demonic!

Luckily I had the 8 year old on hand in co-star mode, without her I'd probably rage snap the cart in two.

@EarthboundBenjy People have said this to me before... but I don't see it anywhere 🤷‍♀️

I abandoned Silk Song after 4 hrs (Bought the compass, got killed before finding a bench, went back to buy the compass again and it was gone from the shop and literally never came back) HOWEVER... that map is beautiful. I'd like to convince myself that the physical map would make a difference

I got the 2nd one in Japan because it looked super energetic... not played it yet, but of course I'm gonna get the Switch 2 edition also.

Bury the backlog!

I could never figure out what to do... sonar at something and it gives me some weirdly poetic/ambiguous message, pretend I have an idea, but then just end up swimming around and doing flips in the air whilst desperately trying to jump over the rocks to get to the next level. So, of course this is a day one purchase, and I will be following all the guides to actually progress in the game and I feel absolutely no guilt about that.

I'll wait for physical

I happened to be in the US in the summer of '96 and the VB was just $99. I pitched HARD for someone to buy it for me, and despite misgivings about the possibility of seizures (not sure how I circumvented that in my pitching), eventually I got it. Went back to the UK where is has remained ever since. Mario's Tennis and Nester's Funky Bowling are all I've had to play for 30 years. It demands to suck on the juice of 6 AA batteries though... which is a big ask, but ultimately worth it.

Is Silksong was actually co-op then I would be much more inclined to jump back in. It wouldn't feel so isolating as it does now... and in this moment I've just realised why I abandoned the game. Maybe even just having someone watch me, take turns doing stuff, might help 🧐

@ProbablyMonsters Only just seen this, game looks GREAT! Congrats! Any chance of a physical release for either Switch 1 or Switch 2?

I have still not played Shredder's Revenge yet, and I will do, but Cosmic Invasion just sounds incredible. 3 days until release, but I'm gonna be waiting for physical... I'm surprising myself with how excited I am for the game!

Well, I didn't know it was out, but I've made my order now!

If they released a paid DLC that was a just a lower difficulty level then I'd 100% get it.

The whole game key cart thing actually opened my eyes to preservation of games and the longevity of having the physical releases available to me. This was in June when the Switch 2 came out. Prior to this I was probably buying a new game on shop once or twice every 3 months, and physical perhaps one a year. But since June I've bought 92 Switch/Switch 2 games, all physical. I regret many of them and have a distinct feeling that I've ruined the specialness of many of them. I might just sell a bunch and take this as a lesson learned...

bought the whole collection physical in Japan recently, very excited to jump into these!

This is a proper update! Was about to give up on Free Roam, but this is gonna suck me right back in!

Now we just need a Classic GP mode for every cup and we're all set.

All this talk of there being only 14 games... but where is Goldeneye, Waterworld, and Nester's Funky Bowling?

I got my Virtual Boy for $99 back in 1996, and still got it. Unfortunately I've had the same 2 games for all that time... Interested to try something else, but has to be the cardboard option.

For me I won't buy a game that only has a game key cart, unless I REALLY want to play it, like with Full Metal Schoolgirl (and that is begrudgingly pre-ordered). And that limits me, which also impacts my view of the current library. Personally I have enough for me to be getting on with though all the games being on cart would dynamically change my view. The Switch 1 has such an immense library of physical releases, big and small, and I'd like Switch 2 to have that once Game Key Carts are inevitably dumped.

Purchased, but not appeared in the dock and blank slot amongst my virtual game cards 🤨

@Ampelmann This makes an abundance of sense

Okay, this is good and everything, great value and absolutely I'll be buying this, but $20 does not equal £20...

@ShieldHero I think it's one of those Japan exclusive releases. I went there last week and picked up a whole bunch of physical only in Japan releases. Available here online - https://www.play-asia.com/ninjala-game-card-package-multi-language/13/70dhxl
