Thanks for this article, I love WarioWare so it's a very interesting read

@B_Lindz It definitely could use more polish and I agree the 3D platforming can be frustrating, but I honestly still think it's a fun game and really impressive for a game made in a week(-ish).

Can't believe Nintendo sources their top-secret internal folders from Wilko

Sounds like something the director of subscriptions would say.

That's a shame honestly, I haven't used it much myself but I think it's good for kids to have a safe and free way to watch the anime. When I was a kid I watched hundreds of episodes via unofficial uploads on Vimeo, I think it was, but I doubt those are still up...

(Edit: I think it was actually Megavideo!)

I'll be surprised if it comes out in the UK but I'll buy it if it does.

I had no idea this was a survival game, I assumed it was just a Lego-fied battle royale variant. If I had friends who played it I'd be happy to give it a go. But although Fortnite is a fun game from what I've played of it, they add so many new modes and events at such a breakneck pace, many of which bear increasingly little resemblance to the original gameplay, that I find the whole thing a bit too exhausting and baffling to keep up with.

Just want to say I love the image at the top of the article

Kind of interesting how the North American boxart makes the game look more violent and it has a 10+ rating over there, while the European boxart is more peaceful and it gets a 3+.

I have a feeling Switch 2 won't be compatible with Labo. The only Labo set I own is the basic version of the VR kit but I can't stand the thought of permanently locking myself out of playing it, so I'll probably keep my Switch for those occasions every few years when I feel like blasting a cardboard cannon

@Coolell2016 Not any more - new episodes have been airing on Pop recently, and the BBC also has some of the older seasons.

I would love a hug from Big Man

Happy birthday NL! I've been here for very nearly half of those years, unbelievably, and in the absence of ONM this site is the best source of Nintendo news and reviews I've come across. The Zelda movie announcement is a pretty good 18th birthday present!

@Daniel36 Ha yeah, I can definitely understand not having the time for every game (I'm waiting until Christmas to get both this and Mario Wonder, partially for that reason). At least WarioWare is good for playing in short bursts though. If you've never played any games in the series I would recommend giving one of them a go - it's one of my favourite Nintendo series - but if it's just not for you that's fair enough.

Surely it can't be DQX Offline because that already exists in Japan, so they wouldn't be recording new dialogue for it in Japanese? Unless it's an expansion or something, but that wouldn't necessarily indicate a localisation is coming.

Today I learned how Americans pronounce flan.

I liked Pac-Man 99 but it wasn't very intuitive, this looks like it could actually be a better game.

I wasn't expecting a Bodger and Badger pun in this article but I'm not complaining

I wish the KOTOR games would get a normal (not limited edition) physical release. I'd like to play them but that file size...

I'll be keeping my Switch regardless, but Nintendo and other publishers have built up such an expansive library of classic games on the Switch that it would be absolutely insane to throw all that away and have all those games need to be ported again for them to keep being sold.

@censwordship I for one was curious about this game after seeing the physical release on an online shop, so I appreciate the review. And what would be the point in only reviewing games people have already heard of?

@Bluelink45 Same here, I enjoyed the game but haven't got round to most of the post-game stuff and the DLC is expensive so not sure when I'll buy it if at all.

@Greatluigi Rayman games tend to be very cheap secondhand in my experience.

catch BIG AIR!

I haven't heard of him before but looks like they misspelled his surname on the guest pass?

I'm also suffering a bit from TotK overload - I love the game but there's so much of it! I've just started Pikmin 4, which also feels like it contains a lot of game (compared to previous Pikmins at least) and I'm starting to really appreciate it being split into short days so I can just do a day or two at a time and still make progress. (I suppose TotK has days as well, but it would be a bit weird to just take a break every time it hits sundown.)

I prefer it to that metal Cobalion at least.

If I remember right, Nintendo didn't get a single game at number 1 in the UK charts for about 6 years before the release of the Switch, so it's amazing that things have changed so much that it's 'little surprise' when a niche game like Pikmin gets number 1!

While it's definitely a good thing that you don't have to go to actual real places to get mythical Pokemon any more (Pokemon Go fills that void now for people who like the real-world adventure aspect), the Mystery Gift thing is so boring. I feel absolutely no connection to the likes of Hoopa and Zeraora because all you do to get them is connect to the internet and they pop up in your box (and if you miss the availability window, tough). Why can't there be little sidequests to catch these Pokemon?

@Shambo I was thinking of COD Ghosts as well, not because I've ever played it but because I remember ONM's review having 'A dog bites a helicopter out of the sky' as one of the positives on the list of pros/cons of the game. My profile picture makes it clear who my favourite gaming dog is though.

I tried as a kid but never got it to work.

@step_over Yeah this is actually closer to a 25% discount. And I may be wrong but I think Shopto pretty much always has prices like this, so I'm not sure why it's being posted as news.

No mention of Mach Rider?

I sort of want to try this for the absurdity of it, but having to have your phone switched on and next to your head, not to mention the microtransactions and data collection, is a bit too offputting I think.

This looks really fun!

The Portal cake looks like it's made of soil or something. Maybe it really is a lie.

Europe has twice as much Donkey Kong as the others and is therefore the best.

I had no idea he was in a band that supported Bon Jovi, that's amazing.

@Sisilly_G Ah gotcha, I can see why that would be a nuisance in some cases.

@Sisilly_G Oh, you'd have to redownload 1.1.0 even if you have a cartridge with it on? That is pretty stupid, I can imagine that being annoying for a game with large updates included on the cart.

@Sisilly_G Does it matter that much in this case if it's not on the cartridge? You're missing absolutely nothing if you don't update it.

I played Fortnite a bit when it came out on Switch and it's fun, but I too have no idea what's going on with it any more. I imagine if you keep up with all the new additions and 'plot' it must be pretty exciting, but if you just want to play the odd match every now and then it gets far too overwhelming (plus I can't be bothered to keep downloading new updates all the time).

I don't approve of Ollie's cat opinions but this is a good preview otherwise, I like the sound of this game.

By the way, in the trailer I thought they were going to change the word 'urgently' to 'furgently'. I can't decide if the fact they didn't was a missed opportunity or a dodged bullet.

To me 'RPG' suggests combat of some kind, which this doesn't seem to have? But it does sound very original and fun, I'd be up for giving it a go.

@Nanami_Ataraxia They seem like relatively normal flavours (cookie dough, cake batter, strawberry) - I think they've just overdescribed the ingredients which makes them sound a bit strange. The turmeric will just be for colouring, for example

Those numbers are crazy - TotK sold well over 100 times as many copies this week as the game in second place!

To be fair, it must be difficult to type with those huge claws.

I haven't played this as much as Tetris 99 or Mario 35 (RIP) but this is sad news. I'm sure the game would have been more popular if they'd supported it with events like Tetris 99. As it is, it's easy to just forget the game exists.

Ooh, the challenges look fun.
