@SuperKMx I've ordered games, artbooks, soundtracks and albums from Japan in the past 5 years and not been hit with customs fees.

I've been hit by this and I am not happy. For the crime of... supporting a game I love, I am not only receiving it much later than if I had bought the retail release, but also at a higher price (£37.38 for the game and shipping from Kickstarter instead of just under £32 from Base) -and- I have to fork out almost half that again due to customs and handling fees.

I'd love it to be Twintelle but I want Elma from Xenoblade X in more and as they share a similar design style in terms of skin tone and hair colour I think it'd be just one of the two, so my vote is on Min Min.

Lots of people: Melia is Clara from Doctor Who!
Me: Melia is Jasmine from Emmerdale!

10 out of 10 for me. I knew the last one as that's what I always name the Giant Horse in Breath of the Wild.

The Wii U list reminded me that while I have NSMBU + NSLU, I have yet to obtain NSMBU and NSLU in their standalone formats. Once I get them and Sing Party I believe I will own every Nintendo-published PAL release on the system.

There's some good picks there. Mine would be...
Gamecube: Skies of Arcadia, Chibi-Robo, F-Zero GX
Wii: The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Skyward Sword
Wii U: Xenoblade X, Fatal Frame 5, Super Mario 3D World
3DS: Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion 1&2, OoT3D&MM3D, Ever Oasis, Fantasy Life.

Got the last one wrong, but 6 out of 7 isn't shabby.

I hope more fruit comes to the game, I'd love to have bananas, grapes, lemons and lychees growing on my island.

"At least with lockdown I can watch their June Direct live for the first time since 2015." I remember thinking to myself.

I don't have great luck watching the June Direct live.

I think I'll be diving into Future Connected first before starting a DE playthrough and preparing to hunt for Black Liver Beans all over again.

It's a great achievement for them. A perfect storm of the right game at the right time.

I'd love a new 1080 game with one condition: It's made as a 'period piece' of early 2000s extreme sports and has a fitting soundtrack to go with it, like Avalanche had.

I picked the game up again recently, need to get around to getting the Octo Expansion too. Got used to things in single player then hopped on for a couple of turf wars. Nice to see my inking skills haven't gotten too bad. Part of me always wishes they added a DLC pack to play the missions from the first game in the second.

Third time getting Bayonetta 1, second time getting Bayonetta 2, and I guess first time getting Bayonetta 3.

My only sad note is that we're not getting a card version of 1. At least I've got a disc version of 1 for Wii U.

Got it and will be using it for the Xenoblade 2 Expansion pass.

I've had a couple of games arrive a day before release from online retailers, which is always nice. Then I've had times where a brand new game hasn't arrived until a couple of days later (Usually from Amazon) and it gets rather annoying. Never had a place offer to sell me a title early.

My only gripe with Runbow is that the EU never got the physical release for the Wii U version. I've pondered many times on importing it along with Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams and Shantae: 1/2 Genie Hero so I can have physical copies, even if I can't actually play them from disk.

I usually win nothing anyway when I enter competitions so this would be no different.

@jariw 1, 2, Switch was picked up at launch. I've enjoyed some smaller indie releases on the system, like Kamiko and Blaster Master Zero, but for the bigger retail releases there hasn't been much that's grabbed my interest yet.

A number of titles released on the system I already own elsewhere and have no intent to re-buy.

All in all I've been a bit disappointed. After BotW, nothing has really grabbed me and BotW I could have played on my Wii U. I'm holding out for Xenoblade 2, really, though Steamworld Dig 2 coming soon will be a nice use for the system. ARMS didn't grab me, Super Bomberman R didn't, 1, 2, Switch didn't, MK8D didn't, and Splatoon 2 hasn't caught my interest like the first game did, even with the single player stuff.

I still love and play my Wii U more than my Switch.

Roll on Xenoblade!

First the USFII rip off, then the ugly, ugly Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, now this? What the hell are they doing?

Nope.

I miss Club Nintendo. I miss the Nintendo Network Premium Promotion. My Nintendo rewards have pretty much been chaff.

I hope they're pudding in a lot of effort with the gameplay and take some pointers from Valkyrie Drive Bhikkuhni's fast-flowing combat.

Hoping for Ever Oasis news on the 3DS front!

It's nice to know the soundtrack is coming along well, it's more the localization and voice acting I want to know about.

By which I mean please let it be the team that did Xenoblade Chronicles, or at least as competent and good with voice actor picks as they were.

I'll pass on this game. The Wii U version will still be enjoyable, even with its longer loading times.

That's funny, they'll have to wait longer for me to purchase it, and when I find it at a cheaper price.

I got both in case I couldn't get a Switch, so started the Wii U version while wondering where the hell my console was. I've now switched over to the Switch version to give the console a bit of a test.

Mine finally arrived, but I am not happy with how the Official Nintendo UK Store has dealt with this whole situation. They've been contradictory when they have contacted us and silent the rest of the time. To get an e-mail with a Royal Mail tracking number saying a March 7th-8th delivery, then one saying it'll be sent by DPD Next Day, then no information on that, then finding out it was coming by Royal Mail after all?

At least I didn't get lumbered with the buffoons at Yodel or Hermes, they'd have probably chucked the parcel over the hedge or left it at a badger sett.

140 coins for 30% off TMS? What a joke. Buying the thing at full price only nets you 70 coins.

@Tempestryke They're good, Chocolate Hobnobs are even better.

Now I want Chocolate Hyrulian Hobnobs that come in triangle shapes so you can recreate a delicious Triforce.

The game it is based on cost $15 when it launched 9 years ago. 5 years ago it launched as part of a Digital Collection on Xbox 360, where for $40 you got it and 7 other games on a single disc.

Does a first person minigame, 2 variant characters and an art gallery warrant almost tripling the price?

Capcom can spinning bird kick themselves right off a bridge.

@Tempestryke It's a brand of oat biscuits.

I'm surprised they're not selling "Switch Launch Day Fuel in a Can" or "Hyrulian Hob-Nobs" or something like that.

I'm a mark for Zelda stuff, so yeah I'd buy them. My set of 5 BotW ones have just dispatched.

@Damo You missed a trick by not going 'Hit Mii baby one more time'.

Anyway!

Oh, Wii U, Wii U
Your sales weren't great you know
Buy, but they never did
Oh, Wii U, Wii U
You had some great games to play
Attach rate was a high point

E3 shows passed you quickly
Tell me, Wii U,
'Cause I need to know now, oh, because...

The wait for Switch is killing me (and I)
I must confess, I still believe (still believe)
I'll leave you plugged in to play some games
Not sold to WeBuy
Play Wii U maybe, one more time

7 days remain. Only 7 days before I can play it.

... Seems a rather long time away after reading the preview.

It's just a cover while they send the Cenator of the Cenation after Switch leakers and street date breakers. Attitude Adjustments all around.

Life, uh, finds a way. You have to find a way to hometown though.

@Tibob From Nintendo's Japanese website (of games we have announced over here):

Breath of the Wild - 13.4 GB
I Am Setsuna - 1.4 GB
Snipperclips - 1.6 GB
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - 7 GB
Puyo Puyo Tetris - 1.09 GB

I've got a 64GB Micro SDXC card sitting on a shelf ready for when the system arrives and is updated. I'll only be getting digital-only eShop titles, DLC and updates in that manner, physical for retail games.

I can't really justify any purchases given the amount I'm spending next week on a Switch and Zelda, sadly.

YouTube and Crunchyroll would be nice to have on it, along with a browser.

If a game can be had physically, I'll get it physically. Digital pricing on physical games can often be a rip off. In the case of Fast Racing NEO and the Two Steamworld games, I got them when they were only available as eShop purchases, but double dipped to get the physical release. It's rather annoying that I can't get the boxed releases of Runbow, Shantae, and Giana Sisters as they won't work on a PAL system, as those are games I'd really love to add in a useful manner to my collection.

And on the matter of Gold My Nintendo Coins, maybe they will finally improve the offerings come the release of the Switch. That's a pretty big maybe though.

And yet almost 5 years later this June, we're still waiting on Dr Kawashima's Devilish Brain Training to come out. Either release it or cancel it, Nintendo of Europe! It's still listed on websites as being available for pre-order! This is madness!

These pictures are clearly not safe for work. You can C right up that USB port.

I will cross my fingers then, I'd love for this to be my first PlatinumGames Switch title.

Well, I suppose it's good in a way. More money to save for when Zelda and the Switch come out.

What needs to happen is just as Nintendo have been given an award, Living Colour's 'Cult of Personality' starts playing and SEGA comes out holding an identical version of that award.

Their biggest mistake with these was tying them to the Pokemon Global Link stuff that requires a lot more hoop jumping rather than Nintendo Accounts.
