@blockfight That's the thing they don't tell you about NintendoLife. You think it's a free website but to access you need to subscribe to your ISP and have a router and blah blah blah
@StevenG "It's not on the switch though. The switch is just a display. It's like saying the mario is out on Sony TVs, when you connect your dock to your TV."
It's nothing like that. What a mad analogy that is. I can't buy Mario for my TV. Is MK8 somehow not on the Switch when I play online because there's now a server involved?
I have a Switch. I load up the eShop. I buy the game. I use the Switch controller to play the game.
@iulis84 "The only reason people would play an inferior port is portability."
Well, no. I have a Switch, it's my main gaming device. I don't feel like paying £400 for a PS/Xbox to play one game. If I get this, I'd still be playing it on my telly.
This looks like a lot of fun but I have to agree, £100 for the full game is insane, £60 for the base game is also madness. I know you have to pay the artists but come on, this is ridiculous.
I have no issues with this, it could be the future, although of course it if is then why have a Switch at all.
If I could play cross-platform, on Switch, iPad, even Android, I'd pay for that. Switch-only cloud gaming seems a little.... restrictive. But if it means we get games we had no chance of ever playing on a Nintendo console, then great. If it means we stop getting real ports and get lazy cloud titles shovelled our way, then I say a big Booooo right now.
And of course, you can't play it on the train or the bus.
@anguspuss ha ha sounds good fun though, I look forward to getting creative in my layouts. Good old Nintendo have just sent me the dispatch confirmation! Woo hoo!
@anguspuss sounds great! Glad it's as fun as the videos make it look. One thing I've not seen anywhere is if you can make raised courses with ramps etc, logically I can't see why not although maybe it messes up the camera? Has anyone tried that?
And to my complete lack of surprise, Nintendo (UK) online shop have just emailed to say there'll be a delay sending these out. Looks like it's sold out everywhere.
Don't know how it works in the US, but the posters are 'free' in the UK (with 300 points), you just have to pay something like £8 for shipping! I thought I could combine it with a purchase at the Nintendo online store, but no. So this is a bit of a scam if you ask me.
As a person with large hands, these are easily my favourite controllers. Pro controller if on TV, and these if in portable. On the rare occasions I need gyro or NFC then I reluctantly switch back to the official pads.

Cool, will go nicely with the Zune I'm saving up for.
Re: Pokémon HOME June Update Will End Compatibility With Select Smartphones
It never worked at all for me on my Nokia 3310
Guys - do you think I should upgrade? Maybe get a Galaxy S3 or something?

Re: Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros Is Getting One Final Restock In Australia Before It's Gone Forever
I tried to buy a brand new WiiU yesterday and apparently Nintendo don't make them any more.
Pretty scummy.
Just another example of their greedy nature. What an evil corporation they truly are.

Re: Review: Hitman 3 - Cloud Version - Not Perfect, But Perfectly Playable
Personally I think it's both amazing and fantastic that this is out on Switch, contemporary with the wider release, and playable.

Re: Feature: Best Super Nintendo (SNES) Games
Any list that has Super Mario Kart all the way down at number 20 opens itself up to ridicule.

Re: Adorable Pikmin 3 Deluxe Coasters Appear On My Nintendo Europe
Sadly, I don't think you can combine them, it's £6.25 a pop and it's one "free" thing per order.
Re: The "Brand-New" Dizzy Game Is A Remake, And It's Included Free With FUZE4 Nintendo Switch
Disappointing news

I'm sure he's been right about something at some point, but I wish I could remember when.

Re: Poll: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
But you are really only buying the car, the rest of the pack is just a bit of cardboard isn't it?

Re: Poll: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Well, I've ordered - late I know - from Nintendo, so let's see when they get it out to me. Looks like it'll be hard to get hold of for a while.

Re: Nintendo UK Store Gets Limited-Time Mario 35 Merch, Including Nintendo Tokyo Exclusives
Given that it's the Super Mario BROS 35th Anniversary, there's not a lot of love for poor Luigi in the merch selection is there?
Re: Video: A Look At Some Of The Rarest Nintendo Consoles
I agree, images would be nice, although watching the video is beneficial for the content creator which I think is a good thing.

Yay! Splatfests are the best!
Glad to see "even more" coming in the future. Hopefully we can finally have revenge and there will be justice for Callie in a Callie vs Marie rematch.
Re: Hori Reveals Three New Colours For Its Split Pad Pro Switch Controller
As a person with large hands, these are easily my favourite controllers. Pro controller if on TV, and these if in portable. On the rare occasions I need gyro or NFC then I reluctantly switch back to the official pads.
