Does it connect easily to a PC for Clone Hero? Presumably it will work over Bluetooth as a Pro Controller?

Now I want to play Zoombinis again.

@Curator 'Disagreeing' with homosexuality is like disagreeing with some people having blue eyes. It doesn't make any sense.

Religion on the other hand is entirely optional. You can choose not to follow an abusive or intolerant ideology (as many religious people obviously do). Chris Pratt has vocally defended his intolerant church, and he should be called out for that. Comparing criticism of an optional ideology with criticism person's inate identity is just ridiculous. You're not the one being oppressed here.

And yes, as someone being cast in a kids movie by a company that just went on record espousing tolerance, it is relevant.

I'm really enjoying it! Though I did find it a bit disconcerting when I saw the publicly visible trail of flowers from my front door to my place of work as not many others play in my area, it's like a stalkers dream! I've deleted my flower history and will only be planting in busy areas from now on. Niantic claim that they've considered the risks and flowers plant in random patches, not clear trails, but that obviously isn't true. And I can't see any way to make flower trails invisible to others, despite Niantic claiming they included the option.

I'm playing Hyrule Warriors at the moment. It's fun and I'm enjoying it, but not enough to invest in DLC I think. A bit repetitive, and 38 hours in, just doing story missions and side missions as they become available (no repeating missions to find items etc), I'm starting to feel it outstaying its welcome.
Though I haven't noticed any framerate issues at all, runs fine as far as I'm concerned.

I can't find the N64 or Mega Drive apps on the UK web eshop? Do you have to 'purchase' it on the console itself? Was hoping to start the download remotely while at work.

Some worrying perspectives on life in these comments. Filing "offices are supposed to be stressful" along with "fighting in a relationship is healthy" and "boys will be boys". Hopefully none of you are in management.

Would be a hard pass if I wasn't part of a family group and we'd be looking at purchasing 4 copies of the AC expansion otherwise. Including Pokemon Home would make it a bit more palatable, but not much.

I remember in one of the Prime games there was a Space Pirate log you could scan describing their efforts to replicate Samus' Morph Ball, and all their test subjects just getting mangled.

How does the vWii look on Wii U using this?

Symmetrical sticks, ewwwww

The GameCube got it right imo. I think of X and Y like the axis of a graph, so X being at the top (vertical) and Y being to the side (horizontal) is really confusing in my head.

If the game has been out a while, I don't see a big problem with deep discounts - developers get a nice spike of profit from people who probably would have never bought the game at full price. I rarely pay more than £5 for a game digitally, partly because I prefer physical and partly because I can't justify the cost when my backlog is so big and I have mouths to feed. Deep discounts mean I can enjoy games I'd never be able to consider otherwise, even if the game appeals to me. And a few pounds from me is better than no pounds for developers. I just always Google a few reviews first to avoid the shovelware!

I loved Glover! I still have the cart on my shelf, but I'd be well up for a nostalgia-filled Switch version.

Pretty sure I have the old GBA TV tuner in a drawer somewhere. Played my Sega Saturn through it once as a novelty, many years ago!

My wife and I started playing The Escapists 2 last night and after a while of craning forward to try to read the text we just went and sat on the floor in front of the TV. Better add that to your list!

I was in London by chance today, was thinking of nipping over there if I had time after work. As it happens I didn't have time, good thing too it seems! Would have been a massive pain if I made the journey over there for no reason.

@Snaplocket I expect the colours look off because it's sunset in the game - note the long shadows.

Hymenopteriffic.

GameCube: Reset button sticking
DS Lite: Broken hinge
3DS: would turn off at slightest jolt
Wii: fried gpu causing glitchy graphics
Switch: joycon connection dropping

Aww, I'd be all over it, but no dock = no buy

Just bought this for £6 on sale on PS4, looking forward to giving it a go.

I don't really mind, I'm more bothered about the awkward and robotic style of human character animations. I'm currently playing Spider-Man on PS4, and the attention to detail and the quality of the animation is stunning. I'm not asking for realism, but the animation that Pokémon uses, considering the scale and popularity of the brand, is just embarrassing. They have the money to pump in. And the N64 tree models and featureless landscape? No excuse - Is nothing to do with console power, Breath of the Wild did a fab job. I love Pokemon so much, I just wish it loved us back.

Eh, I tried it years ago on PS2 and quickly gave up, just found the fixed camera frustrating.

Well, it is a good sale! I finally bit the bullet and got a PS4 to complement my Switch. £70 off a 500GB PS4 with Fifa at Tesco. I sold Fifa at CeX for another £16 back, and used £20 worth of clubcard vouchers - bargain! Getting a lot of fun out of Spider-man.

Very cool, but lots of basic anatomy flaws. Blastoise in particular - the shell is part of the skeleton in turtles and should be fused to the ribs and spine. And ear bones...?

Welcome @Ziondood! Have you and @AlexOlney considered making a regular podcast? I'd be well up for listening to an hour or so of game chat and rambly conversation on my commute.

I play my Switch mostly with family, almost always docked. No docking, no buy. I might consider a Switch Pro though.

I'm getting a bit fed up of Amazon pre-orders arriving on the Monday after a Friday release - so any online retailers still ship for delivery on launch day?

Finally, the spiritual successor to Buck Bumble we've all been waiting for.

Lot's of people failing to see the difference between mocking religion (valid - all ideology should be open to critism) and mocking religious people (not okay). That said, this game looks so ridiculous, it seems to be mocking itself rather than making any kind of statement against religion. I think the concept seems pretty fun, shame the game sucks. Dawkins riding the Flying Spaghetti Monster as DLC please.

Grabbed Grim Fandango - never played it before, so looking forward to giving it a try. May as well at 70% off!

Great, I love hand cramp.

It looks identical to Sun/Moon running on an emulator, seems like they just ran with the exact same engine, just outputting in HD. I'd be surprised if this didn't start out as a 3DS project, and amazed if they seriously considered other art styles. Can't wait for the next Switch game to be built properly from the ground up.

Disgusted by this kind of thing, has no place in modern culture.

Reflexology is 'alternative' medicine, unsupported by scientific evidence!

(... But yeah, it is also sexist creepy tripe)

Looking forward to this, not played Mario Tennis since the GameCube version, which I really enjoyed.

"The Midlands might not be the most exciting area in the UK"

Woah woah, steady on there duck! Lots of awesomeness in the Midlands, a bizarre thing to say about such a large and diverse area!

Yeah, the same Detective Pikachu ad appearing seven times in a short article / review and making the whole thing hard to read? Come on.

I've had my eye on this since it launched, and now extra content, improvements and under £7? Sold.

The best pool game is still Super Monkey Ball.

@Toph6661 Stephen Fry is fantastic. But as a vocal gay atheist, he's not as popular in some more conservative and religious countries... Such as Ireland.

Sounds Strong and Stable.

@Nintendoforlife @Highlar @holygeez03 Brilliant, all I need now is a physical release!

Can my wife and I play splitscreen multiplayer online, like Mario Kart 8? The inability to do that is what's stopping us getting Splatoon.

Thanks for the heads up, I have hardly any amiibo since they're so expensive. Just used the offer plus Clubcard points to get Blathers, Villager and Ness for a fiver each. Doubled the size of my collection, haha!

Played this for about 15 mins before trading it in. And I NEVER trade games in. But this was bad enough to justify it.

Great news! I really don't like the JoyCons. Too small, and my left one struggles to connect and often won't register a right tap when navigating in-game menus. I only use them for multiplayer World of Goo.

Tempted by Thimbleweed Park, but settled on Snake Pass as its the only decent reduction in the original price.

Are they read as Pro Controllers? Can we finally use them with Mario Kart? Great as a cheap Pro Controller alternative if so.

It was a nice gimmick, but I got a lot of ghosting, which I found really distracting, especially in dark scenes and the New 3DS didn't seem to help. I always ended up turning it off after trying it in each game for a few mins.
