@Reaast I'm still hoping they will port the original one over to the Switch seeing as it extremely unlikely the Switch will ever get the second one.

Played a couple of hours of Luigis Mansion on the 3DS last night. And seeing as my wife is out later on tonight, I will probably play some Call Of Duty WW2 on the Xbox One, and no doubt some Warriors Orochi on the Switch tomorrow evening at some point

Now just bring the WWE Network

And yet, when it reaches about £10-£15, I will still get it as I'm a sucker for Kart Racers

I would love to own this, but I don't really have anyone to play it with (friends aren't Nintendo gamers, wife is not really interested in games other than a couple of times a year and my children are only 4 and 2); add in the fact you can't play in handheld mode and I very frustratingly will have to pass on it

Definitely pick this up over Christmas then

When it reaches £15-£20 I will undoubtedly buy it as I'm a sucker for any Kart Racing games

Any news on if there will be a physical European release?

Well I wasn't expecting this to receive any more than 7, which it clearly did not; but that still won't stop me from going and picking up my pre-order from GAME on Friday (along with Luigis Mansion ) I'm a complete sucker for any Warriors game, and can't wait to be able to play it at work

I have this pre-ordered at GAME, but, seeing as I never got round to really playing it properly on the GameCube even though it was one of my launch day games, I can't remember an awful lot about it.

Is this game like Luigi's Mansion 2 for the 3DS where there are no real save points where you can't leave off from mid level without losing your progress, unless you complete the level?

Because I LOVED Dark Moon but had to trade it in because the lack of save points infuriated me, because most of the time I only get a chance to game a few minutes at a time, and having to turn off my 3DS or having it run out of battery before I had completed a level and having to go all the way back to the beginning became too annoying.

As much as I want this game, if it's the same as number 2 then I may have to pass

Anyone able to help?

Is it wrong that for the rest of the year, I'm most excited about Warriors Orochi 4 for the Switch which releases in a weeks time here in the UK lol? I realise I'm probably the only one lol.

Joint second place for me is Luigis Mansion for 3DS (also releases next Friday) and Super Smash Bros.

I don't have a PS4 or Xbox One anymore so can't look forward to Assassins Creed or Red Dead Redemption 2.

Soooooooooooooo, am I the only one who loves and enjoys the Wii U for what it was/is, and loves the Switch for what it is/will become?

They're similar products because of off screen play/not 100% needing a TV to enjoy what they offer, but they're still completely different products as well.

To me the Wii U was not a failure because I LOVED it, and still do; but, I'm not the company making the console and funding it, and if financially Nintendo class it as a failure, then so be it, fine. Not just that but the numbers don't lie. It's a fact that they only sold about 14 million units. As a fan of the console though, it was not a failure.

I loved the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast, and I'm sure you can bet the deeds to your house that SEGA consider them a financial failure, again though, as a fan personally, I don't consider them a failure at all because once again, I absolutely love them.

I think for the £18 a year subscription fee that I don't have a lot to complain about

Is this getting a UK physical release on Switch at all does anyone know?

Lord I really want to get into these games so, so much, but I suffer from two problems, number one being my attention span for these sorts of games, and number two being the main factor, with that being time. I simply don't have the time or dedication to put a hundred hours or more into a game like this like a lot of people do. If this had come out 25-30 years ago I'd be laughing.

I'm a sucker for all "Warriors" games, so I'll be getting this day one on the Switch

Not a huge Smash fan if I'm honest as I can never seem to fully get into it, but will still pick this up on release day. You never know, I might finally fall in love with a Smash game lol.

Because I so rarely get a chance to game on the the TV, there is usually a chance that my official Pro Controller has run out of battery, or will run out of battery mid-game (regardless of how good the controller is, nothing will ever top that Wii U Pro Controllers battery life of about 90 hours lol), so I am going to wait until Black Friday/Christmas and invest in one of those official, cheap, wired controllers, as I hear they have a 10 foot cable. The one the Pro Controller comes with to charge the thing is really very short in comparison. I love the Splatoon one and the Mario one (both the gold one and the red pattern). They're only around £25-£30 so will wait until I see one for £15-£20.

For some reason I see this being a massive seller over Christmas, because as well as having the addictive game of the year (I personally cannot stand this game just for the record and I don't really understand it either), as it's almost the "budget Switch bundle", especially for parents buying for children.

You have the Smash bundle at £320 and the Pokemon ones at £340 (both of which I'm sure will also sell amazingly), so at £280 with a game that is well known and plastered all over the box as well, and at least £40 cheaper than the other big bundles, and it includes whatever the heck the currency is that you would normally pay for, I can see it being quite an attractive offer.

Strikes me as the bundle that the parents buy, whereby Fortnite then keeps you busy until you've got all your Christmas gift cards and money together, and then you venture out to buy your next game yourself.................at least that is what my parents would have done with me 25 years ago or more lol

Not really fussed about how slowly the games trickle out TBH or what games are available etc, as I consider it just a nice little extra bonus to the small sum of £17.99 a year.

Plus, when I finally do find time to actually game, as retro as I am, and as old fashioned as I am, and as much as a technophobe I generally am, and as much as I prefer gamings past than gamings future really (yes, I'm one of those sorts of people), when I'm playing my Switch, I want to play whatever is my latest and greatest Switch game, not a NES, SNES, GameCube etc game.

For me, they are just something a little different to kill a few minutes at a time, not ones that I think I would ever stop playing a new Switch title for, for example.

As awesome as it would be to be able to play allllllllllllllllll retro console games on the Switch, from Nintendo, Sega, Atari etc, it strikes me as something I would sign up for for definite, but rarely use.

I'm the sort of person who would rather power up the old, genuine console with its own disc or cartridge (or a mini version like the NES and SNES, or the Commodore 64, all 3 of which I have owned since launch day, and yet all these years on and counting respectively, I have yet to even open them yet let alone set them and play on them).

I realise that I'm probably in the minority here though

They look cool, but come on SEGA, don't worry about SD Cards; fulfill the prophecy, right the wrong, get your redemption and your vindication......... make a frigging Dreamcast 2 😉 (a guy can "dream" right lol?)

@Ogbert

I'm still hoping for a Sunset Overdrive 2. Make that and bring it to Switch

Back in 1990 's, when controllers were a damn sight more basic, I never hesitated to buy unofficial controllers for any console until I could afford or receive as a gift an official one if necessary, as back then, an unofficial controller might just set you back a fiver, or perhaps a tenner, whilst the official ones were £40-£50. Big money difference for a kid. Now though, with all the bells, whistles and tech that goes into a controller, I don't think I'd ever go unofficial for fear of it a) breaking, or b) somehow breaking the console lol. I suppose now being 32 and earning probably helps too lol 😜

Hand on heart, Rabbids is probably my favourite Switch title yet. I would have trouble picking between this and Oddyssey.

Haven't played a V-Rally game since the original one on the PS1, and I was awful at it lol. Bring on Sega Rally or Daytona Beach any day

God I wish I had the time and patience to commit to a game like this, Xenoblade etc. 20-25 years ago I would have been all over them. Now, I'd play it for a bit, enjoy it, and then just never find the time to sit there and play it properly again, which would in turn just end up with me trading it back in after 12 months lol.

Loved DOOM, and planning on getting Wolfenstein 2 tomorrow. Been waiting for a little price drop on it from GAME (maybe down to £40?) because I still have £160 of store credit, but thinking I might as well finally just cave and get it for £50 whilst it's still in stock

@Richard_Atkinson

Sorry mate, but I'm one of the very few of my generation who does not have Twitter lol. In all honesty I'm also a bit of a technophobe, I just like consoles lol.

@Richard_Atkinson

Thank you buddy I'll get there for 7ish then without any worry. Look forward to seeing you there

@Richard_Atkinson

I know that doors open at 6pm, but I don't suppose you know if it's okay to arrive at any time after that? Got family plans that day and don't think I'll be able to get there before 7pm. Got a ticket but just realised that I might not be allowed entry if they close the doors

Got my ticket. Only live round the corner (quite literally). Half of me is going coz I think it'll be awesome, the other half of me is going just to hopefully meet Alex and hear him say "helloooo there lovelyyyyyyy peeeeeeooopppleeeeeee" in person 😂😂😂

Bought it on launch day for Switch and still haven't found time to play it yet

Got Sonic Mania on launch day. Still baffles me why in-store at GAME it costs £24.99, and on their website it is £29.99

Still haven't found time to play it yet though.

Probably Sonic Mania. Wanted it anyway but managed to get a "free" copy. Traded in Puyo Puyo Tetris at GAME, and coz I'm an Elite member I got £27 store credit, and it turned out the game is only £24.99 in store, yet is £29.99 on their website lol. Result, no extra to pay and an extra £2.00 on a gift card x

I haven't really been following the story properly, but, why isn't Waluigi in the game?

It's a shame it's skipping it IMO, as if they managed to get 2K19 up and running smoothly, it would be not only add to the Switch's library, but it would also be some form of vindication for those that weren't happy with 2K18, which is the majority.

Maybe they will spend the next year putting out patches for 2K18 instead, as well as having 2K20 or whatever it ends up being, ready to go.

I will undoubtedly get it in the next month or so.

I've got just over £200 in GAME Reward Points and store credit, so it's not the money per se, I'm just trying to be sensible with the Switch and when I get games, as I just don't have the time to play very much anymore, so don't like having more than one new game on the go at a time.

And I only just bought Hyrule Warriors a couple of weeks ago and want to finish that first (it was a toss up between the two but I am a sucker for anything Warriors lol).

Not to mention Wolfenstein 2, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic Mania and and a couple of 3DS Selects games that come out on the 29th of June too (Donkey Kong Country and Mario Maker), so for now Aces can wait a little bit lol

I'm a sucker for all Warriors games, so this is day one for me Never even came remotely close to completing a Zelda game until Hyrule Warriors, and had never played a Fire Emblem game in my life until Fire Emblem Warriors. Bung them in a Warriors game though and I want it lol.

Free? What's the catch?

A plain HD Remaster of any of the four wrestling games published by THQ that were on the N64.........................................yes, I can dream right?

How awesome. I live round the corner from the museum so will definitely be popping along

I think it's fair for a company, any company, to within reason void a warranty if you have been pre-warned what might happen if something happens to your product that goes against their advice/guidlines for said product.

Reminds me a bit like when everyone was "chipping" their original Playstations and Dreamcasts; there were two places here in Cambridge that would happily do it for you, but they did always pre-warn you that you would be voiding any guarantee the console had as it was breaking the seal.

@Heavyarms55

"I honestly couldn't get into this game. I gave into the hype but didn't find it all that fun. I guess it's just not my cup of tea."

Same here. And I was sooooooo looking forward to it as well after never having even played Rocket League in all those years prior.

I traded it back in a week or so later.

TBH I actually like the concept of the game, and it is fun, but when playing online which is kinda the big selling point of the game, and seeing how good everyone else is, and I don't even get a single touch of the ball, let alone a goal lol, I realised how much I sucked at it, and how much time I would need to put into it to get remotely good at it, and my gaming time is so precious that I don't want to spend it forcing myself to get good at a game.

And THIS is the VERY reason that I never bought it digitally.

Due its consistent positive reviews and popularity, there just wasn't a question in my mind that this would eventually make it to a physical release.

So glad it did

For some reason a 7 is what I just assumed the game would get TBH. Nothing wrong with a solid 7

This was the first ever game that I bought with my own saved up money for the NES. Still got the price tag on.......£44.99, and that was back in 1990 lol. What's that with 28 years of inflation? About £125 lol

Got nothing against Kirby at all, but I think I'll wait until I can pick this up for around £20-£30.

Played the demo and for some reason it just didn't click with me.

Ironically though, one of my all time favourite games is Kirbys Dreamland on the Game Boy that I got from Toysru's, Christmas 1992

I would buy it day one ordinarily, even though I have the Wii U version I am a SUCKER for Warriors games, but I will be away from the 17th so not much point. Might as well wait until I get back.

I have 194 gold points as I only buy physical, so am I right in thinking this means I have just £1.94 to spend?

I bought my copy for £49.99 back in December as I wanted a football game, and I wanted to show support for third parties.

Love the game. So easy to pick up and play for just 20-30 minutes at a time if you're at a loose end.

The moment I saw it at £24.99 in GAME on Friday, I went and bought another copy for my brother-in-law for his birthday in a couple of weeks, as I can't see it staying at the £20 mark for very long.

It does seem to be reduced at different prices all over the place, and I think it all started when Amazon had it for £22 for a couple of days last week. Since then it's just shot down in price in retail everywhere lol.

For anyone hesitant about this version, I'm not a football fan WHATSOEVER (I can't stress that enough), except for the World and Euro Cup, so perhaps I'm a bit easier satisfied, but I personally think the Switch version is more than adequate, especially at just around the £20 mark if you think £50 is too much.

Always someone online to have a game with which runs pretty darn smooth, and offline the game runs as smooth as butter and looks very impressive, especially docked obviously.
