Love my Switch. Not touched my xbox1 since launch, but we need more games. Virtual console is a must. Lego city is great but I have it on wii u. Same as mario kart 8 which I will still get as proper battle mode is the ultimate party game.
I think people are missing the point. this is a travel dock. so you don't have to take your main dock round your mates. nice idea just needs a little tidying up
I am nearly 40 and loved the trailer. My 8 year old loved it too. Both very excited. Given the amount of 3rd party companies involved + 1st party games this system will appeal to all age groups. Remember this is just the first insight into the system. Lots more info to come. Plus its all about the games
Disappointed but not surprised considering the lack of news. At least we got fast racing neo. It's a mistake imo as a quality game on the eshop should do well as there is not much else coming out.
Since you can link your eshops there is no reason not to offer a discount you already own a copy on the wii u (not to mention the wii). However Nintendo have chosen not too. Poor show on them for all their loyal fans. I am glad that snes games have shown up as a lot of younger fans will get to try them. Hopefully we will get a good selection going forward. Now I just to stop myself buying super mario world for the 4th time. I would love it on my n3dsxl
At last, but why no reduced price if you already own them on wii vc and in some cases wii u vc or both. Come on nintendo how many times do we need to pay full price for these if we already have them!!!
The rubber banding is terrible, but in 4 player race and battle modes this is 1 of the best party games I have ever played. This game (and Goldeneye) very nearly ruined my studying for my degree. Great times😃
Looking forward to trying SMRPG as I have never played it. Please Nintendo add in dual analog control to SM64ds as that will improve people's enjoyment hugely.
Pikmin 3 is a good price for the UK so picked that up as I have been pricing watching it for over a year. Hoping for Captain toad in the next 2 days and hopefully some eshop deals. Come on Nintendo, show us some love!
Happy birthday Nintendo Life. My first and only Nintendo website. Found you when virtual console reviews joined you. Visit your site every day. Thank-you all for all your hard work. Here's to the next 10 years
My 7 year boy declared this is 3 times better than Minecraft (the game he has not put down for 6 months) after playing all this weekend. That said it all really. I love it too.
How do you choose? For me I never owned a nes or snes as a kid (C64 and Amiga boy). My first Nintendo console was an N64, so Mario 64 will always be the one. However Galaxy 1 and 2, Super Mario World, Mario 3 and sunshine are right up there.
I like the gamepad. Off screen play is great. Little man can play minecraft on my 360 while I play on the Wii U. Yes it could do with more range. I would love to play in another room. And there are some class games which use it - Nintendoland probably being the best.
I loved this game on the N64. Many lost hours exploring. Recently played through the 3DS version which is amazing. Given a choice i would recommend the 3DS, but if you don't have that option and you have never played this game before you will not be disappointed with the Wii U version. Yes it looks dated and the water temple is a pain (you can use a walkthrough in this day n age), but the story will grab you
You only have to look at the charts on shop resent and overall to see vc games make money. Third party I can understand but there are lots of Nintendo titles still missing. Sometimes you have to employ more people to make more money.
After hearing there is going to be a Wii U version I was going to wait. However if EU is going to get the cross buy too i will buy it for my 3DS. £7.99 i thought was a little bit high but if cross buy is included that is worth the asking price.

Re: Feature: We Grade the Various Nintendo Switch Launch Complaints from the Web
@uncha1n3d if you hold down the power button for 4+ seconds a menu screen appears, select power options and shut down. Works both handheld and docked.

Re: Yes, You Can Charge Your Nintendo Switch In Tabletop Mode
we need a little stand just like the Wii U GamePad charger stand. Perfect for a flat stable surface - may not be so good on a bumpy plane ride
Re: By The Way, The Joy-Con Grip Bundled With Nintendo Switch Won't Charge Your Joy-Cons
Was aware however it was not very clear

Dammit I was looking forward to Rive, still I have an xbox1 so I will have to get it on that.
Re: Poll: What Other 'Classic Edition' Nintendo Systems Do You Want to be Released?
How can we choose only 1. SNES, N64 and Gamecube for me. Nintendo could combine the handhelds together in a new handheld device.
Re: Digger Dan DX Dispute Settled, Will Be Back On Sale "As Soon As Possible"
Excellent news. Good old school gaming. Top little game
