@Snatcher I agree with you, but I'm also happy they are pushing the game so much. Maybe this will be the big breakout Metroid game that makes Nintendo care more about the franchise.
The first and only console I got on import as it took a while to release in Europe. Maybe one of my fav console of all time. It felt like Nintendo (and other dev) were more willing to experiment with games and ideas.
@Warbeard Man, you really want to die on this hill don't you?
Did you ever stop to think that it's not just LGBTQ+ who want to play games with queer characters and story elements? I have plenty of straight friends and allies who like having these stories and romance options. They like to see the world from other perspectives and embrace diversity. It's not just LGBTQ+ who turn up to gay pride or care about representation.
On the negative side, it's always the same people having a problem with these pieces. Always trying to find new ways to say the exact same negative things.
On the plus side, I just found the 'ignore' button.
It was a fun game but I found the fighting slower than the game before (not sure if that's actually true or just me). I'm glad they bother with single player story though. So many fighting games forget that some people like to play solo.
It's been really interesting seeing which lower-tier games Nintendo really back and ones they don't. I wish they would uplift every game in the same way they did Luigi's Mansion 3.
I still don't understand what is in this season pass. Nintendo have done such a bad job explaining it. It also feels like this update has come out too late.
@RainbowGazelle Funny story about that for my Switch. On launch day I was at a friends house so we could get our Switches together and share the experience. The delivery truck arrived with my Switch and the ONE game I pre-ordered: BoTW. I unpacked the Switch and put the game in... and nothing. The game didn't work. The Switch didn't even recognise the cartridge. So I took it out and found that somehow I had a blank cartridge. It didn't even have the metal strips on the back. I then had to spend ages on my friends crappy wifi downloading the game. Four hours later I got to play on my Switch. It's made me a paranoid about physical Switch games.

Re: There's An Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update Coming Soon, And Brewster's Back
The is a good start, but the game needs more.
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, 23rd September
An Animal Crossing update would be great. Maybe a big game for Christmas too? I don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Re: Nintendo Confirms It Won't Be Attending Tokyo Game Show
If we have a Direct this month then there is no reason for them to attend. If we don't get a Direct soon then they are really struggling.

Yoku was my nicest suprise on Switch. Great game.
Re: Nintendo Says More Animal Crossing: New Horizons Content Is In Development, Next Update Drops This Week
I'd be happy if they just made it so Redd turned up more. I've played every day since launch, and I'm still missing half his stuff.

Inject it into my eyeballs already. I can't wait for this!
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars
I may give this a shot. I played a demo of the original version at Eurogamer years ago and hated the art system and colour scheme.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch OLED Model
I'm still looking for the 'why' rather than the 'how'.
Re: Someone Thinks They've Resolved Nintendo's Joy-Con Drift Problem With An Incredibly Simple Fix
We have drift on about 6 joycon. I might as well try this.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Hardware Refreshes Through The Ages
The Gameboy Micro is a great portable. The only one I could just put in my pocket and go.
Re: Fancy A Switch OLED For £800? Scalpers Are Already Flogging Pre-Orders
The year is 2057. Everything is bought by scalpers and sold to normal people. A banana costs £385.

Re: NetherRealm Ends DLC Support For Mortal Kombat 11 To Focus On "Next Project"
It was a fun game but I found the fighting slower than the game before (not sure if that's actually true or just me). I'm glad they bother with single player story though. So many fighting games forget that some people like to play solo.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For July And August 2021
I remember when summer was a slow time for gaming.

Great news Love this game.

Is the first part of the DLC pack any good? It sounded fairly empty of content.

Looks hilarious. I'm in.
Re: Poll: Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
It just doesn't look very fun to me.
Re: Review: Mario Golf: Super Rush - A Solid Swing, But Par For The Course
It's been really interesting seeing which lower-tier games Nintendo really back and ones they don't. I wish they would uplift every game in the same way they did Luigi's Mansion 3.
Re: Nintendo To Give Forever Entertainment "Significant Financial Support" In New Publishing Deal
@bluemage1989 Nintendo doing the unexpected is... the most expected thing in a lot of ways. They always seem to make random choices.
Re: Nintendo To Give Forever Entertainment "Significant Financial Support" In New Publishing Deal
Sounds promising. I hope Nintendo also help them with quality.
Re: Rumour: EA Is Planning On Reviving An "Established IP"
If they bring Dead Space PLEASE can they fix the asteroid sections. I finished the first one, found out there was a 2nd, and just stopped playing.
Re: The First Review For Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Now In
The game looks really bland to me. I was hoping it would be more arcade-y. The courses look flat and their isn't much flair to anything.
Re: Yes, Cruis'n Blast Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
Looking forward to this

Re: Reminder: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass - Wave 1 Is Now Available
I still don't understand what is in this season pass. Nintendo have done such a bad job explaining it. It also feels like this update has come out too late.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
It qas good but also missing a lot. No Animal Crossing news was suprising.
Re: A New Super Monkey Ball Game Has Been Rated Again, This Time In Brazil
I'd be happy if it was just Monkey Target from the first game.
Re: Sakurai Recalls Smash Bros. Melee's E3 2001 Appearance In Newly-Translated Report
