Unfortunately I haven’t had too many compelling reasons to pick up my Switch this year. Hopefully 2019 will be a better one and we don’t have a return to Wii U droughts.
Is anyone else getting tired of these half arsed efforts for vids. I don’t feel there’s much merit to them anymore and I get bored of watching Alex fumble his way through yet another one. At one point Alex was informative now..... “Does a PS4 controller have a speaker?”
I mean come on..... Sorry looks like it’s my turn to be grinch this year.
Lol so did they end up reducing her breasts or just leave them all inflated? Think the word bangs is pretty well known in the UK now but I can understand the confusion back then.
The inevitable Labo used as an educational tool news article we all knew was coming and the inevitable arguments for and against. Sigh, Nintendo news is rather boring at the moment especially after a disappointing E3. Being on next year already.
@shani try watching the documentary it's a good watch, even if you don't care for the game, it help you understand why so many want to see Billy Mitchell go down! LolCan't wait to see what he comes up with.
Actually these numbers could be seen as a damning indictment of the games Switch available for us owners. I'm personally exited at the existence of a 'handheld console' so games like Bayonetta and FIFA on the go are dreams come true. Realistically these games are also few and far between and one of the ones I have mentioned is an old port. I feel like that is the conversation we should be having in this comment section not rallying around "boo Sony players are idiots" comments.
Playing Mario Rabbids again gotta get back into it it's good but I'm struggling to muster up the love. Always fire up a game of pinball fx or Stern... don't matter. And slowly making my way through DOOM.
@Anti-Matter I think your forgetting these games are rated for mature audiences so they are protecting the kids from these games. It's the parents who need to take some ownership now not the games makers. I am an adult I want to consume adult material. Simple as.
Hahahaha "lets see how stupid and uninformed we can look today" Seriously look at historical evidence to see this is a worthless endeavour. Like others have said this is nothing more than a showmen placating to his stupid audience. Well done America good choice.
@AlexOlney my god get in with it! How long can you drag it out for..... you trying to get those hours in for YouTube huh? Haha I get that it seems like effective marketing but how horrid a gift. Lol enjoy that looking down at you!
Wow looking through the reviews on the site the eShop is sure getting full of utter rubbish. I haven't bothered looking through the releases online on the Switch since late December. Does anybody remember the Nintendo Seal of Quality. Those were the days...
Oh thank the heavens I personally found it way to much grind and constant battle against small annoying enemies. I will pick it up again now, love the visuals and music so wanna play it so bad was actually waiting for an update like this thanks for the heads up!
@SLIGEACH_EIRE agreed. All those who have not bothered to to understand the story behind these recent articles would do well to give it a watch. Even if the subject matter (high score chasing) isn't for you it's a great doco!
As for Billy like my previous posts on the recent articles he is a cheat who is now finally being exposed. I'm not gonna rant anymore I'm just going to laugh and enjoy this now. I have been waiting for this.
@Prof_Yoshtonics in the most civil of ways I add to the conversation that if someone is finally found guilty of a crime 30yrs later should we ignore it and move onto so called greener pastures? If you look at the leaderboard which is current today this mans name is still there..... is that not current enough? Just because your not interested doesn't make it irrelevant information. Just my two cents as I have literally waited for news like this on the subject and couldn't be happier if he finally found out as a fraud.
The so called tapes either don't exist and never have. Or they are the very ones which are being dissected and Billy is clutching at straws.
The proof is is the pudding but the pudding has up and disappeared! Billy is a straight up cheat who had all the power, demanded that a challenger to his crown do his high score in public yet Billy was aloud to beat Weibes (may have spelled that incorrectly sorry just have to get this out) in secret out of public view. It's too obvious to ignore. People who still believe in him are deluding themselves! Wake up!
" if these accusations prove to be true then it will be a sad end for one of the most famous faces in the world of gaming high scores."
Really? This community was gonna light up like a Christmas tree, Billy or no Billy. The guy is not worth anyone's attention or admiration. He is a been who clung on to his title through dubious means. It was obvious right from the beginning! People just chose to believe him.
This is the best news to wake up to, I'm so happy people have taken time to dismantle his throne!
Lol @retro_player_22 I think you may not be getting the joke here. It's ok you don't have to understand it but you should definitely not express anger over it just laugh along with others as if you do understand you'll look less like an idiot. 👍
It looks pretty Indy but I'm up for this it looks funny like!
Gotta agree with most of the nay Sayers here in the comments this review is pretty poorly constructed. I don't agree with the score and reckon someone else should redux review this game. I enjoyed a few tables on fx3 non-licences stuff but like others find it a little too busy to see what's going on I don't need to know each individual score as it happens. Especially the bumpers it's like it fitting out on screen. Also the light rubber ball that sticks to the flippers just doesn't feel right to me. Farsighted game however may have old licensed tables as the reviewer points out in a demeaning manner. They are some great licences Especially when it comes to pinball. So what if they aren't exactly recognisable especially by those who were born in the nineties as apossed to lived through it spending a lot of time and coin in the arcades where these cabinets resided. The game itself 'feels' right the ball has weight and you have to gauge your hit to get the flipper to move the ball with pace around the play field.
All in all like others find this review weak and frustrating. At least justify the low score!
Hmmmm it's a nice screenshot but a Ubisoft port of Wind Waker on GBA....... nah man that's sounds pretty herendous to me!
No offence to the guy love the game he's has given us on Switch but that won't rose tint my glasses on this here.
@kobashi100 yeah I know that. I'm more talking about the quality of the game itself being a mobile game first. I just see it as a cheap imitation of a real game (or what I consider to be a real game) I'm very aware of what a free model entails thanks. Lol.
@Nintendoh I skipped Mario on mobile because of the whole you had to be online to play which for me would mean only playing at home when on wifi. Well I got my consoles to play at home I don't see y I would play a game on my mobile whilst sat on my couch. Can only blame Nintendo for that one. Kinda feels like Nintendo are either testing the waters or just broadening their brand appeal to me. I'm not sure how seriously they take the mobile market to be... at the moment anyway.
@electrolite77 Yeah I bet the mobile version made a tonne of money especially as those games seem to prey on ppl who are willing to spend money on a 'free' game as apposed to go and buy a full game outright kinda silly really. But hey that's y the future of gaming is in the mobile market as analysts keep repeating.
@electrolite77 lol good 'ol freemium huh. Cancer of the industry imo. Now it's spreading to normally safe console market. We are living in a post apocalyptic wasteland in gaming terms or at least heading there. Be interesting to see this devs profits on this game over all platforms.
I must not have actually woken up this morning and still be dreaming. Remakes or new ones I will buy either way. Love love love these games Okami is a Luke warm one for me but DMC or VJ please make it happen Capcom, please...
Full retail price for an ex-free mobile game, hahahahahaha! 👍 Well defo count me out! Review sounds overly positive for a positively average sounding game.
Love this guys stuff. I don't really care how he got his collection I respect it for what it is. It's obvious from other videos he loves to play and plays a lot of games from a wide variety of generations and genres. I'm just happy that I get to glimpse a small slice of what heaven could actually be like lol!
I don't live in the uk anymore so don't know how they stock Switch gear, but Shelf space is pathetic for Nintendo. So if your going to praise them then surely you must do your part and allow a good amazing of retail space to get that stock moving out the door! I only have bad memories of shopping at Game.

Re: Donkey Kong Scorekeeper Rubbishes Billy Mitchell's Claims Of Fabricated Footage
