So far it's a solid 8.5 from me. I really hope they add more in Free Roam mode and more cources. Part of the problem is 8 Deluxe was so complete with the DLC. I hope we get a roadmap for World updates soon.

I always wanted to try these game. Is this a good one to start?

The Switch is dead. Long live the Switch!

For me they took up the old Rare idea of making games slowly, but without the quality. I'm not sure why they are so hell-bent on making Yooka-Laylee 'a thing'. Neither game did that well, and it seems way too soon for a remake.

I hope everyone who lost their job finds something else soon.

I've put 100s of hours into the Gamecube and Xbox versions. Time for some more 😀

They could also bring back Bingo Battle. I played so much Pikmin 3 with friends because of that mode. Having it online would be great.

Overall I just want more Pikmin.

What!? A Switch 2 is coming out? Why didn't NL cover this?

I hope these people find new jobs they enjoy.

As a Nintendo only fan I've never used those sites. I'm mostly on NL and sometimes Eurogamer. I get more Nintendo related stuff from people on Youtube.

I hope the Ys games get an upgrade at some point.

I might have already. Street Fighter 6 was on offer at amazon. Dunno if it's on cart or not.

It's 'How do Ken?' in a Yorkshire accent

Got mine yesterday mid afternoon. Are the staggering the emails?

I have two pre-orders. One direclty with Nintendo. If the both arrive I'm selling one to a friend at face value. Means I'm more likley to get mine day 1, and the other will be in the hands of an actual gamer.

Got a pre-order direct from Nintendo. I also have one with Argos

I'm still excited and have a pre-order. I don't mind the console cost.

The game price will have more impact on my value-for-money judgement. I know I will get my money's worth from Zelda and Mario Kart. Smaller AA games like Yoshi and Kirby might not make the cut at those prices though. They just don't have as much content.

That Direct could have been an email.

And it's not even a Partners Showcase.

It'll be interesting to see what they fill 30 minutes with. My guess is that they have some contractual obligations to complete about showing games at a Direct.

If Nintendo really do this then they got arrogant again. It would be silly not to have big hitting 3rd party games at launch. It would help drive sales of the system and games.

I think there might be some exclusive or time exclusive 3rd party games at launch.

The combat looks good but the city and art style are bland.

Looking forward to this. The last game was such a step back from Transformed.

@Pod Thanks 🙂

@Pod That could be the case. I can't see an option to switch accounts though. I presume I have to do something else.

I can't get it to work. I select my account to link, and ot says I need to have an active account. My acvount is active though.

That's a shame. I need something to fill the Skies shaped hole in my life.

@RPGreg2600 Only a couple of hours. The theme of a city and prison juat hasn't grabbed me.

I started on Ys 8 and loved it. Wasn't much of a fan of Ys 9. This new one looks great 😁

I want to see it in person before deciding to by it. I'd also like to see other seta in the collection. It will be interesting to see which game gets the most sets.

I have a friend caught up in this. The people telling management it was a bad idea are now the ones who will pay the price.

I went in October. It's an amazing place 🙂

So happy Pikmin 4 is doing well. I hope we get some DLC (though I doubt it).

Nothing. I left my Switch in a bag on the tube 😭 The bag was found. Waiting to find out if my Switch is still inside. I was on the way to the airport and it was too late to turn back before I left. 2 weeks and counting. Not the best start to a holiday.

@LikelySatan Thanks for the tip 🙂

Finally a new Jet Set Radio 🥰

Can we get a new Skies of Arcadia too please?

Nothing very interesting to me. I will probably get Backpack Hero if the price is right. A lot of these were not 'games' as I'd class them.

I couldn't be happier that it's selling well, and I'll be adding a couple to those numbers as Christmas presents.

I was in Japan recently and loved seeing all the metro adverts and merch for the game. I got plushies of all the Pikmin types and an Oatchi 😁

It was such a pain moving stuff to my SD card. Now that is full and I have a 1T, but can't bring myself to do it again. The process is so painful.

Zelda was less annoying that BotW (which isn't hard). The main problem I have with her is the voice is so hollow and flat. Her story was great, but there wasn't any feeling of emotion in the voice delivery.

I would say Rauru was best.

I'm going to Japan on Saturday 😀 A trip delayed for 3 years due to Covid.

It'd be great to know the overall sales for Pikmin 4.

I hope this makes things calm down. A good friend of mine works for them, and this situation has made the most of the staff really stressed. The stupid thing is, staff raised all the concerns with management before it went public. Management ignored them and went ahead anyway. My friend has spent most of the last few days doom scrolling and getting it in the neck from others in the developer community, and worried about their job. It's important to remember that real 'normal' people work at these places and end up in the crossfire.

Nope. The later battles in the original game take for ever. You just have to try and try until your deck lines up.

The first R had so few options/modes. This seems a lot better.

Bomberman Generation is still my fav for multiplayer.

I can't wait to get it in a couple of days 🙂

I'm just happy Pikmin 4 didn't drop too far 🙂

Go Pikmin! I hope it sells really well 🙂

Ssssoooo excited 😁

Kooper Cape is one of the best Mario Kart tracks.

It's like the Rayman Legends team made a Mario game. Creative, colourful, and joyous 😃

I have it pre-installed. Anyone know what time it will 'release'?

I've platlyed a few hours. It's a great remake 🙂
