@3MonthBeef If the play on words is meant to be a pun of some kind, the closest available idiomatic expression is, "There's no place like home." Your example of "there's no place like it" is not a common phrase at all, so it is not a viable referent. Either way, the slogan is crap, and Nintendo should ask for its money back from whatever agency produced it.
"Thankfully we've had enough time to realise that although the controls are certainly different to what you might be used to, they are by not bad or broken by any stretch of the imagination."
Where is this coming from? Pressure from Nintendo?
