Transferring the username and old account over was incredibly easy, which I was not expecting. Turns out my aging laptop can’t handle the new game tho, so. 🤷🏻♂️
I listen to a lot of gaming podcasts and I’m always surprised how cheating is just part of the experience for most people. Personally I think it more often that not ruins the experience unless it’s cosmetic changes.
@NorwegianMate Positive takes can be few and far between round these parts. Funnily enough I think the negativity really ratcheted up prior to the Switch’s release when a lot of trolls rolled in and the comments sections have never quite recovered.
One of my all time favourites! The 3D is great if you have a New 3DS but the screen is a little squished. Switch has the best version, and on the telly (!) but why not have both.
Brilliant interviews on how the Sega Ages games were made here:
Although I preferred Awakening I put more hours into Fates just due to the sheer size of it. Worth pointing out there’s some DLC which really enhances the experience and is worth picking up.
I never did buy Shadows of Valentia, which I regret but you can’t play everything I guess.
@Kuriburh Ah, yeah lol that was back when I didn’t know about sandwiches. I still prefer riding about to just browsing my phone while I wait tho. I’ve hatched a shiny Pineco and Froakie while completing my dex. 😃
GameBoy games and Crystal were available for the 3DS so I see no reason why not. I think it’ll not be compatible with Home, making cloning a non issue.
I’ve moved half way around the world since I bought my 3DS and WiiU so it’s a wild ride trying to get accounts, credit cards and mobile verifications all in order. So far I’ve managed to put $10 on my account so it’s still a work in progress. Trying to get Metroid Prime Trilogy and NES Remix if possible.

Re: Pokémon HOME's Newest Feature Lets You Change Your Pokémon's Moves
Just let us be able to sort our Pokémon. It’s the first thing I would want from storage and it’s still not implemented. 🤦🏻♂️
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Lands New Character, Game Mode And More In Upcoming DLC
Usagi Yojimbo comics are amazing! Can’t recommend enough.

@Banjo-
This is our life now until the Switch 2 announcement.

I say the same thing to my husband.
Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
Hmm let me see. It’s obviously a baseball field so I’m going with baseball.
Re: 'The Lara Croft Collection' For Switch Has Been Rated By The ESRB
I want the originals please.
Re: Feature: Cassette Beasts Dev On Doing What Pokémon Doesn't In A Zelda-Inspired Overworld
There’s definitely space now for someone to challenge Pokémon but I think the 2D DS era is what I’d aim for personally.
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Controller? Every Nintendo Pad Ranked
Everything I’ve read or heard about the Switch controller is that the d-pad is absolutely terrible. Did I imagine this?
Re: Mario's Creator Shigeru Miyamoto Teases More Nintendo Movies
I think Donkey Kong, Star Fox and Kid Icarus would be obvious choices. Also, Kirby is very popular with my nephew and his friends at the moment.
I’m going to see Evil Dead Rise tonight - wish me luck! 🫣
Re: Review: Sid Meier's Civilization VI - Conquer The World On The Move In This Superb Port
I had £2.70 in my account so snapped this up for £2.29 in yesterdays sale. 😎
Re: Review: Kid Chameleon (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
Such an underrated game. It’s an easy 10/10 for me. Brilliant game.
Re: Review: IGS Classic Arcade Collection - An Excellent Selection, Poorly Presented
Hopefully a patch fixes some issue. No 4:3 is unforgivable.
Re: Feature: Pokémon TCG Community Engulfed In Potential Fraud Scandal
TCG enthusiast shows a massive stack…
Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Don’t sleep on Kid Chameleon it’s a brilliant game. Do read the instruction manual if you get stuck.
Re: Review: Pokémon Stadium - The Original 151 Brought To Life With Style
@ComfyAko But I was 21. 😅
Re: Review: Pokémon Stadium - The Original 151 Brought To Life With Style
Hopefully we get Red, Blue & Yellow released soon and compatible. It’s the sensible option and therefore I won’t be holding my breath. 😅

Re: Movie Review: The Super Mario Bros. Movie - A Fun Ride That Substitutes Story For Spectacle
Is that headline correct?
I feel like Story and Spectacle should have been the other way round from reading the review.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 1st)
I’m playing a hardcore Gnome Hunter on Turtle World Of Warcraft 🐢.
Edit: It’s me from the future RIP that Gnome Hunter. 🪦
Re: Wildfrost Shuffles Charming And Chilly Deck-Building On Switch In April
The pair came up with Wildfrost after playing Hearthstone. FTFY 😉
Re: Video: Everything That Could Go Wrong With The Switch's Successor
I’m hoping they go for something innovative personally.

@WallyWest
One of the first DC comics I ever bought was The Flash #104 (1995)!
Re: Random: Watch This GBA SP Get A LEGO Makeover
My thumbs hurt just thinking about it.
Re: PSA: A New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Is Now Live

@Anti-Matter
No, it’s not safe. Nobody knows yet how the save files are being wiped and there’s been no patches to fix anything yet.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - 3D Out Run

Re: Nintendo Highlights Classic Super Mario Games In New Switch Online Graphic
Since I’ve dusted off my Wii U I’ve been playing Mario Maker - outstanding game!
Re: Review: Metroid Fusion - An Infectious, Portable Pleasure
@nocdaes
He can probably sell them at a considerable profit.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Another Classic Title
I’ve set up my Wii U under the telly so I can play Metroid Prime Trilogy and looks like I downloaded Fusion in the past already.
Wii U to the rescue!
Re: Countdown: Wii U eShop Spotlight - Affordable Space Adventures
@Baler
I’ve got a couple hundred ZX Spectrum games I could introduce you to. 😋
Re: Countdown: Wii U eShop Spotlight - Affordable Space Adventures
It’s still pricey for what it is. Why all this stuff isn’t going on sale is beyond me.

Just dropped in to ask the same thing.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Fire Emblem Fates
Although I preferred Awakening I put more hours into Fates just due to the sheer size of it. Worth pointing out there’s some DLC which really enhances the experience and is worth picking up.
I never did buy Shadows of Valentia, which I regret but you can’t play everything I guess.

Re: Level-5 Showcasing New IP & More In Upcoming March Live Stream
A Yo-kai Watch Blasters release would be great.
Re: You'll Have One Year To Transfer Funds Once 3DS & Wii U eShops Close, Says Nintendo
@Warioware
Thanks, I may have to do that. 😃👍
I got $10 on as a test and when I tried to add more it sent a confirmation text to my long gone Aussie mobile number.🤦🏻♂️
Re: Looks Like Pokémon Trading Already Works On Switch Online's GB & GBA Emulator
GameBoy games and Crystal were available for the 3DS so I see no reason why not. I think it’ll not be compatible with Home, making cloning a non issue.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)
I’m currently jumping through all the hoops to try and get this downloaded on the WiiU eShop before it’s gone for good. 😮💨

Re: UK Charts: Fire Emblem Out Of Top Ten While SpongeBob Sells Well On Switch
FIFA, God of War, CoD, Grand Theft Auto.
It’d be like looking at the music charts and seeing Oasis there forever and ever. 😴
Re: Mini Review: Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection - A Great But Gouging, Exploitative Package

Re: Taito's Action Platformer 'The NewZealand Story' Is This Week's Arcade Archives Game
Arcade Archives really knocking it out of the park the past few weeks.
Still got my fingers crossed for Operation Wolf, Ms. Pac-Man and Mysterious Stones: Dr. Kick in Adventure.
Re: Enguarde The Swordfish Almost Returned In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Really could do with DK Country Returns getting ported to Switch 🍌
Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo's Next Console Have To Be 'Another' Switch?
Rerelease the WiiU.
Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo Switch And Pokémon Continue To Dominate The Top Spot
@SmileMan64
Seems it’s all or nothing with Sc/V. If I get through a game without a crash I’m counting myself lucky.
