Won't affect me as console multiplayer is rubbish compared to PC multiplayer so I don't bother with it, but I hope this paid service is an improvement over the lag and disconnects you'd get with Smash Bros and Mario Kart on the WiiU.
I just cannot play another game in 720p ever again, Xenoblade Chronicles X was bitter sweet on the WiiU and Breath of the Wild will be in 720p on the WiiU, so I'll be getting that on the Switch instead.
What I like about the Switch is no region lock, that is brilliant news and I'm very glad for that.
Ordered the Red/Neon Blue from both Amazon and GAME, see which one will arrive first, I expect it to be sold out everywhere anyways, I painfully remember like it was yesterday waiting MONTHS for the N64 to come back into stock when I was a kid. :s
@FX102A That's probably what it is, it's £60 on GAME so the amazon version must be the special version, just wish these shops would update with better info.
I'm seeing a PS4 bundle with 1TB storage space and 3 games (Driveclub, Uncharted 4, Rachet and Clank) for 289, or 279 for a Switch with 32GB storage and no game...Pretty weak move from Nintendo so far. Wait, I don't see any Switch game(s) in the UK, um? So just the console for now?
Yeah, you'd be playing it if you wanted to show it off, he clearly forgot to 3D print the innards! The buttons looks fake and the analog sticks look wonky as hell though.
I sure hope it delivers, all these delays makes its players expect greater things! Cannot wait, but might buy it in NX instead of my Wii U, not sure yet.
Never had a game made a console so desirable! I remember when the N64 was a tough mother to buy, it was sold out everywhere and you had to wait months for more stock to arrive. I really liked SM64 but I always felt Banjo-Kazooie was a far superior game, it was Rare that made the N64 such an amazing console with their games.
A big fan of the Wii U Pro Controller and I really hope we can use it for the NX, I even use the Pro controller to play PC games, it's just very comfy. Was no surprise this game got so delayed, it was obvious they wanted a dual release, the big N should just be straight with us for once.
Wow, awesome trailer and I love how it feels like a sequel to Star Fox 64, man I get teary eyed everytime I hear that SF64 themetune, still a brilliant game!
1 = A Link To The Past, 2 = Ocarina of Time, 3 = Link's Awakening DX. I would have enjoyed Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword far more if not for the horrid Wii controls, I hated that about Wii.
I'll grab Cube Life later on as patch 1.1 looks very good and it's a much better price point. Currently Minecraft on Wii U feels a bit neglected. I have Minecraft on PC and PS Vita which came free with my PS Plus, the Vita version plays the same as Wii U, xbox 360 and PS3 and it's weird being on a small island rather then being in a world, it really hurts exploration and immersion when you hit invisible walls within minutes of walking.
I sure hope they give Minecraft Wii U Edition some love, bigger worlds and gamepad inventory management, then I'd happily purchase.
We wanted to let you know that unfortunately the release of Shovel Knight amiibo has been delayed until 8th January. This is due to the stock being held by UK Customs Control and is affecting all stock of Shovel Knight amiibo in the UK. We would like to apologise on behalf of Yacht Club Games and the team here at GAME for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Re: Nintendo Switch to Introduce Paid Online Service in Autumn / Fall

Re: Editorial: The 3D Effect - A Smart 3DS Feature That Struggled to Find Its True Depth
There's no denying it looked good, but the 3DS's rubbish resolution wasn't going to make that 3D look stunning.

Yeah, you'd be playing it if you wanted to show it off, he clearly forgot to 3D print the innards! The buttons looks fake and the analog sticks look wonky as hell though.

@AVahne Interesting, thanks!

What's with the extra long connectors on the game cartidges? Looks odd.

Will this replace both WiiU and 3DS?
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August (Europe)
I think Nintendo hates sales, haha.
Re: Review: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (New 3DS / SNES)
£5.49 on Wii U or £7.19 on 3DS. Hate that about the SNES games on the 3DS.
Re: Video: This Raspberry Pi-Powered, 3D Printed NES Mini Puts Nintendo's Effort To Shame
I wonder how much Nintendo spent on designing theirs, while some guy who loves his hobby did a much better job?

Re: Takedown Notice May Spell the End for Digger Dan DX
By the way, should the music annoy you, you can disable it in the options menu, glad you can do this.
Re: Takedown Notice May Spell the End for Digger Dan DX
Hope this gets sorted, release it on PC/Steam, be a shame to lose it.
Strange Digger Dan & Kaboom is unnaffected. Will be buying a copy to show some support, had it on my wishlist anyway, looks good!

Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favourite Legend of Zelda Games - 30th Anniversary Edition

Re: FreezeME Has Been Approved for a Wii U Release by Nintendo of America
Looks a bit bonkers but decent, selling for £10 on Steam so will probably sell for £40 on the eshop.
Re: Mario Kart 64 on Wii U VC Doesn't Have Support for Ghost Data
I thought it was a great feature, racing against yourself or a friend to stay sharp, shame it's missing on the Wii U.
Re: Rumour: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth May Be Coming to Wii U After All
Now I regret buying it on the New 3DS if they can't release the expansion on it.

Re: Video: Check Out This Footage of Paradise Lost: First Contact
