I remember getting a sadistic joy from crashing my pod racer, and hearing Anakin's "WaaAhhhHhh!"

I never thought I’d say it, but that’s more expensive than Virtual Console NES games lol

They need to have more maps on rotation for the the battle mode. Real frustrating that turf wars has more choice when it comes to this!

Good riddance.

As someone who has worked in primary school education for over 5 years, I cannot believe the number of children arriving of a morning exhausted, distracted and not willing to engage because of their Fortnite sessions - which go on until the early hours of the morning.

Parents are unwilling to accept responsibility, because as far as they're concerned, it keeps their children quiet at home

It's just a terrible business model, to allow a game like this to be free-to-play to absolutely anyone of any age; and for Epic to have the audacity to say (in an interview) that it's "just good fun for the family"...

@GrailUK Nintendo has a very healthy cash surplus.

Reggie would love this

I hope they're not confusing COVID-19 with V-JOLT...

Bye bye microSD card 😟

All of them in 2020? HAHA! Yeah right.

Maybe one or two, and I don't see them packing a bunch of titles into one either, they can't make as much money that way.

But for now, the only question is... do I go physical or digital?!?

@EVIL-C Nothing cries out to me that the PS5 and XB-S are big mainstream products. We've reached a point where raw power is having diminishing returns, and those consumers that do care about the finer points are becoming a niche market segment.

The only reason people will upgrade is simply because Sony and MS will stop supporting the previous platforms - no other reason.

@biglittlejake You need to own a house first. Then when in the home, press Right on the d-pad.

Let’s freakin’ go.

The price has been listed on the eShop for at least two weeks.

If y'all want amiibos, now's the time to get them. The Wii U-era stock is dirt cheap!

‘Mine Crossing’ more like! Goodbye social life...

Love the soundtrack and graphics to this! Classic arcade action

Problem these days is that they become incomplete once DLC is released.

To be fair, what more can they do to the game without upgrading the graphics? Mario Kart is in a similar situation - I imagine the next instalment will be an 'ultimate' experience with past tracks, drivers and more.

Considering patches of the UK are still limited to around 3mb regular broadband (and spotty ones at that), and those that do have fibre are seeing slowdown on Stadia - run by one of the worlds foremost in internet technologies - I fail to see cloud gaming become a mainstream choice for many, many years.

TL;DR - Portal still isn’t on Switch.

Nintendo has nothing to lose by releasing it in Q4.

It's a guaranteed system seller, has the potential to be the best outing yet (If World Tour is anything to go by, with the return of past items and characters) and given that all the heavy work was already completed for MK8D during the Wii U days, they'll have had plenty of resources dedicated to it.

I'm not saying Nintendo needs to release it, but they've more than made their money from MK8D. My guess would be that they'll put the former title in a 'Selects' line and release a new game under a 'Ultimate' moniker, a la Smash Bros.

@Kiz3000 Fab, do you have a link?

Yeaahhhhh... or if you purchase the £84 game vouchers, that works out £42 a pop.

‘Coming to Switch - in its full 240p glory!’

I would say Missingno; but it'd probably delete all the other characters... But in all serious I'd like something a bit more off-the-wall, such as...
Earthworm Jim,
or Chris Redfield (Res. 4).
And please - no more Geno requests!

My dilemma is physical or digital...

I got Mario Maker 2 physical and haven't regretted so, and Animal Crossing does seem like the type of game to dip in and out of...

My only criticism is the very harsh rubber-banding on items.

I don’t find it fair that as a skilled racer, or simply someone who has managed to be in first place, you’re effectively punished by being given an entirely different selection of items to those other places; which as you gradually get lower and lower, give you a greater advantage.

I recognise this has always been the case, but in MK8 it became very aggressive.

At the very least, I would like to see Nintendo add a ‘random’ option to item pickups.

Also - and this is perhaps more subjective - some of the character slots are really wasted. Baby / Gold Peach? Link? What about Captain Falcon or Diddy Kong?

Of course it's going to be difficult - stocks are low because it's just been Christmas all world over, and Switch is hot stuff right now. It will take Nintendo some time to manufacture their next batch.

I remember first seeing this game when it was released, and literally had no idea what to expect from the artwork. It was very mysterious, and the only reason I purchased it was because it reduced to £25 haha.

For some reason I never quite made the connection with arcade games, probably because it was so unlike Nintendo at the time. Of course, I don't regret the purchase, and spent many happy (and frustrated hours) fighting.

Typical non-answer; addressing the problem whilst not admitting to it.

I'm ready to throw my moneys at Capcom's face, but they just keep turning around. Get motion on RE4!

Really miss Wii Sports.

It's one of the few titles in my lifetime that my family have actively been apart of. That's pretty difficult as a grown adult!

I don't need
but I do want...

I’ll try spinning, that was a good trick.

Damn, Reggie looking old.

(Don't crush me)

That poor horse... He has a giant tortoise with a spiky shell on its back...

@gauthieryannick You can access the 'Home' menu and screen capture from these controllers.

Just as with the NES variant, it's a button-combination of the SL, SR buttons with the START and SELECT buttons.

Have they become available on the UK store yet? Or just the US?

I believe that of all the GTAs, 3 and Vice City are the most likely to arrive (if at all) on Switch.

Nintendo has taken a hard line because the violence is set in a realistic world that is designed to reflect life - not something fictional/mythical - and I understand their approach.

However, given that 3 and Vice City are probably classified as retro now, they’re no where near as immersive as the later entries.

If you consider this 10/10, then what the heck is Super Mario Bros. 3?

It's a classic no doubt, but the difficulty level doesn't have the same progression as the former. It's just much too easy to have considerable replay value.

The GC era was a frustrating time. Value for money no doubt, but Nintendo really put themselves into a corner - even down to simple things such as including only one Z shoulder button, which limited how games could be ported. I guess like the N64, I’ll remember it for the quality-over-quantity.

My God, that video was gooey...

I think the dude needs to become a meme. ‘Ring Fit Guy’

Used to love sneaking up on drivers and using these bad boys at the last second! MK Wii battle mode was the best

Needs Goomba for that wall climbing!

This is like being asked whether I prefer a Toffee Crisp or Dairy Milk 😔

If I was about 15 years younger then absolutely; but I doubt I'd be able to cope with the pace now!

It does look fantastic, so I'm looking forward to seeing the reviews.

Looking forward to new analysis of Luigi’s lunchbox

@PsylockeRules Switch Lite has been confirmed to have motion controls by GameXplain (at GamesCon)

Perhaps that was the joke the developers spoke of; that there was in fact no star, and it was just a stone monument.
