We have 10 joy cons that are used across 3 switches at home, we have had the joy stick swapped out on 2 of them because of drifting, i was playing Ys VIII with a drifting stick making it unplayable, i have since picked up a couple of those wired powerA controllers, they are better quality than what Nintendo is offerings, gimmicks gimmicks gimmicks Nintendo.
Big fan of Contra and Konami, picked up the Contra collection, having already downloaded the Castlevania and Arcade collections i can say this is without a doubt the worst of the 3 collections.
I transfered all my stuff from the Wii over to the Wii U, i bought a lot of stuff when the news broke last year that the store was going offline, some gems on the system that aren't available anywhere else, for example the 3 rebirth games by Konami
No doubt these people playing at the million point plus level on Donkey Kong are talented, and have squeezed every last way to earn points out of the game, don't understand all the hate for Billy Mitchell, obviously he is talented at these classic games.
More tracks would be nice, i bought the DLC on the Wii U when it came out, and that was DLC done the right way, paying a reduced rate for 2 packs up front that were great quality.
That said, whilst he Switch is fantastic in its own right, as someone who supported the game on Wii U, there wasn't much of an upgrade for me, give us 8 or 16 new tracks based on various other nintendo games, and maybe have more online events, they need to make online a bit more exciting.
I had exported all the the Guitar Hero and Rock Band Track Packs to my PS3 when they came out, The Metallica track pack was removed without even a wimper, not even visable in my downloads list, i know it affects so few people,but i couldn't re download the songs after my first Ps3 died.
@Xenocity Which EA titles do you mean? I played FIFA since 1994, both on SNES & Mega Drive, same with NHLPA Hockey, same game, also the same can be said of the N64 & PS1 versions of the game, even the Gamecube had the same content as the PS2 era.
If you are talking about the evolution of the controller then there is a clear timeline between the NES controller and the Dualshock, with each controller in between making additions, all controllers From xbox, Playstation and even Sega follwed the same theme, the Wii remote was the game changer
No one complains about the PS4 controller because it does what 99 percent of the mainstream gamers want it to do, and thats not motion controls.
I guess my post made it sound that i wasn't a Nintendo user(maybe i'm wrong) i will say that Nintendo has always been my console of choice since the NES right through to the Gamecube, and of course the first year of the Wii up until the PS3 was released, Nintendo wasn't able to offer me the same game experiences that i was satisfied with(as i said what i call a normal controller)
The first game i noticed a change on was the FIFA series, the first wii versions were a lot different to what was available on other systems, so i begrudgingly moved over to the PS2 for my FIFA habit, however the Wii was used for quiet a few games too, i've had the Wii U for 2 years now, it hasn't managed to drag me away from the PS3 and PS4, althought it is getting much more game time largely due to have a 4 year old son who has caught the gaming bug this past 6 months, i couldn't imagine who getting into gaming so young on a Playstation console, althought he does like Toybox Turbos a lot.
If the Wii U was able to offer the same AAA third party games on other systems without all the gimmicks then i wouldn't need to buy a PS4, a lot of gamers like to play with a normal controller(duelshock style), I need several controllers to enjoy all the different games i have on Wii U, Wii & also Virtual Console games all require different controllers. also not everyone likes the trophies/achievements availeble on PS4 and Xbox, but there are a hell of a lot of gamers that do, Nintendo was crazy not to add a platform wide system for achievements, games are competitive in nature and gamers also.
Nintendo has released some great games the last 2 years, Mario Kart 8 may be the best game of this generation, and to think we don't even have a proper 3d Mario or Zelda game on the system yet, F-Zero where are you?
I never played much of this the first time around, i got it when it came out and was instantly turned off by having to control Link with the stylus, should have least had an option to use the D-pad, recently i went back to it and played through the first dungeon, it felt good after i had given it a chance, but there are a few frustrating moments when in combat using the stylus, i re-bought the game a few weeks ago when Nintendo had the deal with Spirit Tracks, (buy one get the 2nd half price)

Re: Sega Ages Columns II "Coming Soon" To The Switch eShop In Japan
These releases have been good, maybe a bit slow, but, Alex Kid, and Sonic 1 are perhaps the best way to play those games.
Street Of Rage and Golden Axe please.

Re: Ubisoft Provides More Detail On Assassin's Creed III Remastered's Switch-Exclusive Features
Don't really understand why this game gets a bad press, i have played and beat this game, a great story that ends the story of Desmond Miles.
I think its great that Ubisoft is supporting the Switch with titles like this, there will be many Nintendo fans that have never played a AC game.
Re: Nintendo Planning Ways To "Boost The Appeal" Of Switch Online Service On A Yearly Basis
Wish they had a proper VC on switch, we are still buying GBA, SNES and N64 games on the Wii U.
Re: Rumour: Multiple Online Listings Suggest Assassin’s Creed III Is Coming To Switch
I think Ezio will be one of the fighters in the smash bros dlc, lots of cross over between Nintendo and Ubisoft these days, so why not.

Re: EA Sports Vice President Says FIFA 19 Will Be Upfront About FUT Card Pack Odds
I play Ultimate Team the most on FIFA, don't buy packs at all, i don't need the best players to be competitive and rather grind out wins.
I stopped buying packs after FIFA 11,used over 1.5 million coins to get one in form player.

If the Wii U was able to offer the same AAA third party games on other systems without all the gimmicks then i wouldn't need to buy a PS4, a lot of gamers like to play with a normal controller(duelshock style), I need several controllers to enjoy all the different games i have on Wii U, Wii & also Virtual Console games all require different controllers. also not everyone likes the trophies/achievements availeble on PS4 and Xbox, but there are a hell of a lot of gamers that do, Nintendo was crazy not to add a platform wide system for achievements, games are competitive in nature and gamers also.

Seen these at the local Co-op here in Norway, they are looking 500 kroner for it, which is a bit steep.
