Very previously had the Switch 2 for £409 with MKW plus an extra 10% off if you took.it on credit so £368.10. Cheaper if you promise to pay within 12 months than straight away.

Never did like the American SNES design with its Parma Violet buttons. I don't like Parma Violets so that doesn't help.

I want that Reside Vil controller.

Not the Metroid Prime Trilogy news I wanted.

I assume these events will loop around. I just 100% the game last night and I am in no rush for Emerald Rush now. Going back to Age of Calamity to finish that DLC before Age of Imprisonment in couple of weeks which shows how quickly I get round to DLC.

It's only worth getting if you don't want Mario Kart World as the bundle is the same price and MKW is more ezpensive separately.

@Bats1234 I bought Kirby on Switch 1 and the upgrade pack as it was cheaper. Some people just opt for the simpler option or just don't know that you can upgrade I guess. Or they just love the red carts and big red banner on the case.

@Hank_Scorpio Digital Foundry really need to get you on their books with that level of insight. Who needs a 20 minute video breaking down each individual pixel and the speed at which they move.

After seven years you could argue it has taken them forever to release the remake.

If you were on the fence after 45 minutes then I can't imagine some more will sway you.

They know they will sell millions of copies so they can afford to keep the price low and the low price point ensures many early adopters as well. Games that sell in the thousands haven't got that luxury.

Can you not just purchase via the website and then it downloads automatically to the console or is that not working either?

What game are 90% of people going to guess at appearing now when the next direct is announced?

You can usually find keys for a year in the UK for around £25 for the expansion pack so this deal doesn't work out better than that per month.

I hate the term buttery smooth. When I think of butter I think of respreading to get an even coating and sometimes going back for more. It's rarely a smooth process for me no matter how soft the butter is.

@N00BiSH I am not a fan of watching video games being played but I understand that some do. My problem as I get older is that I am becoming less patient about people talking slower than I can read information.

@N00BiSH Fair enough. A lot of waffle it is then. I'll be at work when it is on so will read the bullet points later. I couldn't even watch the 15 mins of Bananza so 45 mins on this is too much for me.

45 mins seems excessive. You could show half of all the Mario Kart World cups in that time. I've got a feeling there will be a lot of waffle. I'll wait for a summary and a 2 min trailer with a release date.

Still have my copy. Still in my backlog 20 years later. Articles like this almost make me bust the game out and get it removed from my backlog. Almost.

@WiltonRoots People are already chuntering over game key cards so the logical conclusion would be riots if they are more expensive. This may also be interpreted as sarcasm.

This isn't going to help push past the PS2 record.

The Switch 2 version better not be more expensive or there will be riots in the streets.

The price is definitely a factor as well. I bought the game but will likely not buy many more games at full retail in future. £65 is more than I have ever paid for a game before and can't see myself doing that again in a hurry.

I was done with this within about 3 mins. Not for.me but good for those that like this sort of thing.

I thought the characters were going to look like that horrible cover art in the game. Luckily they are more like the show.

@RadioShadow Or maybe it won't play until system date is correct and anyone who manually changes it will screw themselves up as the system.can only have a manual date offline and as soon as you go online it corrects clock and screws future dated saves. You can't innocently get a game early and play it then.

I bet it's so they can sell it twice to households in Japan that are using their old Switch 1 as well as the Switch 2.

Probably need at least a 512gb card installed to be able to play the game.

In the US shouldn't Fantasy Life be number 1 download only? There is no physical version in the US.

@SpecialT You mean that your first instinct wasn't to take apart the joycon like a normal person. You're weird.

@RupeeClock I'm waiting on my shipping notification from Argos. I'm a bit anxious as I can't track the order on their website.

I paid for mine from Argos in UK 2 months ago nearly. Hoping I don't get a last minute cancellation.

I'll just stuck to cheap ones online. They are useful for holding charging cables as well as keeping dust away. Also protects the sticks when chucking it in a bag. I don't think I need a hole to charge while in the case.

I will get one delivered but am at work interspersed with taking my other half for hospital appointment and looking after my toddler so not going to be able to play until the evening so as long as it is delivered I will have a bash on Mario Kart.

@Zufolobelisk It doesn't really bother me that much to be honest but would very nice for tge people that want it. I haven't really paid attention to the home screen as it looked very much like the original Switch.

Does it have folders and themes or have we got to wait for the power of the Switch 3?

They don't want him.back because they aren't remaking it.

Glad it has reviewed well. I'll wait for the Switch 2 version. Still yet to finish the 3DS game so no rush for me. By the time I get to it the game should be fully patched.

Not played the game but hope that if Miriel is in the film someone says "You're terrible, Miriel!".

Shame it doesn't have a 100% on cart toggle.

I have yet to buy a standard game at the £60 price point since that became the norm and will possibly only make an exception for a new Mario game or Zelda. Still on the fence with Donkey Kong.

Might as well get one ASAP as it seems prices are only going up for consoles these days. Gone are the days of a cheaper console a year or 2 down the line. The original Switch is only £20 cheaper than it was day 1. Mine is still running fine 8 years later so I have faith in the Switch 2 lasting me that long.

Just the Mario Kart bundle for me. I'll get a case followed by Pro Controller 2 and SD card further down the line.

I watch stuff on Ebay to see if it is worth selling. Maybe people are watching to see of the higher priced one sells and will then price their own accordingly. Seems a lot of money to the new Mario Kart to me.

I won't bother with any game-key cards. I'll probably just get any of those games digitally or on another system if cheaper there.

At that price I will stick with the adapter and wired original controllers.

I saw the 256gb ones went out of stock on Amazon the day after the direct. I'll wait for a bit as I can't see me using it all that quickly if I stick to physical.

More amiibo for me to buy that will gather dust. I just can't resist Zelda amiibos.

Sony helping Nintendo sell a few more Switch 2 units with this move.

Xenoblade Chronicles X. Only 20 hours in and had it since release. I will be playing until Christmas at this rate. Dabbling with Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well. Two big games that will take me forever at 1 to 2 hours a day gaming time.
