Re: Reminder: Sega Ages Virtua Racing Is Out Now On The Japanese eShop

Gavintendo

@AtlanteanMan The reason you're seeing Japanese news is because you have a Japanese account on your Switch. There's no way to stop getting Japanese news other than removing the account and waiting for new news to overwrite it.

I personally use my one UK user/account, and change the region to Japan or wherever on the Nintendo Account website, then I get what I want off of the eShop, and change it back to UK. This way, viewing my download list on my UK account on the UK eShop still allows me to see and redownload anything purchased from other regions.

I also unsubscribe from every news channel before starting this process, to avoid getting spammed with Japanese news.

Re: Review: Carnival Games - Perfect Family Fun And Another Solid Switch Couch-Play Option

Gavintendo

The Wii version was a guilty pleasure of mine, so I picked this up. I like creepy carnival themes. I was disappointed that you can't walk around the Carnival anymore, and instead just select a game from a menu. Pretty much all of the games just play/feel/control exactly the same, and are pretty much 'one and done' type affairs. I strongly disagree with this review score. 5/10 max.

Re: Guide: How Cloud Saves Work In Nintendo Switch Online

Gavintendo

"What isn't clear is whether or not your cloud saves will work on another Nintendo Switch console. For example, could you feasibly sign on to your Nintendo Account while using a friend's Switch and carry on your Zelda save from it? We hope so, but Nintendo hasn't made that clear yet".

From nintendo.co.uk:

"Save data is linked to your Nintendo Account, so you can access it by signing in. If you move to a new system, you can pick up right where you left off in your game by downloading your data".

Seems pretty clear to me.

Re: Review: Ikaruga (Switch eShop)

Gavintendo

Can you play it vertically in handheld mode with the Joy-Con still attached, and the controls working correctly?

Pinball FX 3 lets you do this, but the analogue stick doesn't take the change in orientation into account when on menus, so pressing left moves up, pressing down moves left, etc.

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May (Europe)

Gavintendo

So hyped for Runner 3. I'd much rather have a physical version but as it's Nicalis I guess that won't be happening here, at least not yet. Guess I'll have to get it digitally twice, once for me and once for the girlfriend.

Re: Video: Unboxing and Testing the New Nintendo 2DS XL

Gavintendo

I use the 3D 100% of the time and it still impresses to this day, seeing as you asked in the video.

Also, I'm sure you just meant in terms of save data for physical games, but I strongly disagree that 4GB is enough for a 3DS/2DS. It's fine if you're just starting out though I guess.

Anyway, can't wait to get one.

Re: Thumper Bringing Rhythm and Violence To Switch eShop On 18th May

Gavintendo

One of the best games I played on PS4 last year. Found out about it by accident and was intrigued, ended up absolutely loving it. I highly recommend it if you play an instrument (or want to), and/or you like awesome dark hardcore rhythm games.

Gonna be double dipping and supporting this Switch release on launch day. I bet HD rumble will be amazing on it.

Re: Exclusive: Mutant Mudds Super Challenge Launch Details are Confirmed

Gavintendo

Instant buy for me. Reasons:

1. The first game was great and the preview of this was also great.
2. Releasing in Europe same day as NA. Rare for Renegade Kid.
3. Renegade Kid does what Nintendon't (Cross-buy).
4. Launch loyalty discount.
5. It's out on my birthday.

Smart business decisions like this need supporting. Thanks Renegade Kid.
