But you have no idea what Switch actually costs Nintendo to produce. They have to try to make a profit with a brand new product and I'm sure they have priced it as competitively as their costs would allow.
I don't think physical copies will disappear altogether. At least I hope not. Much like the resurgence in vinyl record sales, a lot of people like the idea of buying something, unwrapping it, looking at the cover artwork before playing. It's just more fun to actually own something.
Best news I've heard in a while The Cing games were brilliant and it was a massive blow to hear they had gone bust. It was a surprise at the time because I thought the games had strong sales. This could be really, really good. Can't wait to see if it comes to Europe.
It just makes no sense to tie 'portable' gaming to a home console.
There are plenty of GBA Virtual Console games I would love to buy if they were avaialble on 3DS but it appears that Nintendo do not want my money. Maybe they have enough already.
My biggest gripe is no GB or GBA games on 3DS Virtual Console. I didn't understand this decision when it was announced and still don't understand it now!
Must admit, I have not played a game as addictive as this for ages. I absolutely love it. People out there who are on the fence about Mario Golf should get a copy and get swinging. It's brilliant!
It's a real shame that the poor performance of Wii U has somewhat forced Nintendo's hand on this one.
3DS is the obvious home for GBA titles and I fully understand why so many people are very annoyed at this.
Maybe GBA games will make it to 3DS when Wii U's fate is finally determined (one way or the other).
It seems like more people are getting increasingly fed up with this situation as each week goes by. Does anyone from Nintendo read this in order to see the frustration?

I for one cannot wait.

Switch dock is not dull.
It's understated cool!

Been looking forward to this for ages.
Cannot wait.
Re: Nintendo Switch Was the Company's Biggest Selling European Hardware Launch, Ever
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
And what kind of business are you in?
I'm pretty sure Nintendo know what they are doing with Switch.
It feels a quality piece of hardware to me and I consider it worth the money.
Re: Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons Are Disconnecting, And No One Seems To Know Why
Too much high drama here.
It will get sorted.

It's £2 for God's sake.
Get over it and and go and give your sandals a polish!

Get in the real world.

Re: Swedish Retailer Says Its Nintendo Switch Pre-Orders Are Higher Than They Were for PS4
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I think Switch will be a huge success.
To talk of a price reduction before it's released is a bit silly really.

Re: Brexit Could Increase Super Mario Run's Unlock Cost In The UK
Why can't this website just be left for talking about video games.
An extra £1 for a game is no reason for a political statement.

Re: Brexit Could Increase Super Mario Run's Unlock Cost In The UK
What a stupid article.
Agree totally with OneBag.

Re: Wonder Boy: Dragon's Trap Remake Appears To Be Wii U-Bound
This looks amazing and I can't wait.
I've not played Dragon's Trap since my old Game Gear days and that seems a long, long time ago!
Re: Poll: Are You Still a Miitomo Regular, or Has The Great Mii Q & A Lost Its Charm?

Re: Reaction: The NX Release in March 2017 and How It Changes the Game
I'm not sure why this is considered a 'delay'.
As far as I'm aware, Nintendo have not previously said that NX was going to release any earlier.
I for one, am looking forward to it anyway.
Re: Poll: Are You Ready to Download More of Your Retail Games From the eShop?
I don't think physical copies will disappear altogether. At least I hope not.
Much like the resurgence in vinyl record sales, a lot of people like the idea of buying something, unwrapping it, looking at the cover artwork before playing.
It's just more fun to actually own something.
Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy
No rewards for buying a physical copy of a game is a big turn off for me.
I enjoy collecting games, new and old.
Can't see myself bothering with this.
Re: Chase: Unsolved Cases Investigation Division - Distant Memories is Bringing Hardboiled Detective Work to 3DS
Best news I've heard in a while
The Cing games were brilliant and it was a massive blow to hear they had gone bust. It was a surprise at the time because I thought the games had strong sales.
This could be really, really good. Can't wait to see if it comes to Europe.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th March (Europe)
@AlexSora89
I too cannot support GBA games only for Wii U.
It just makes no sense to tie 'portable' gaming to a home console.
There are plenty of GBA Virtual Console games I would love to buy if they were avaialble on 3DS but it appears that Nintendo do not want my money. Maybe they have enough already.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th March (Europe)
I do not have a 'new' 3DS console as I am perfectly happy with my Fire Emblem special edition 3DS XL.
I am getting a bit cheesed off to say the least how Nintendo are treating eShop games by making some old games only available on 'new' 3DS.
Surely, there is no reason that Super Metroid will not run on my 3DS.
I feel like I am being rail roaded into buying a new console.
Not impressed!

Re: Poll: Is It Time For a Fresh Alternative to the Virtual Console?
My biggest gripe is no GB or GBA games on 3DS Virtual Console.
I didn't understand this decision when it was announced and still don't understand it now!
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Right to Take Its Time With 'Digitalization' in Gaming, But Should Revolutionise the eShop Now
An account based system is an absolute must in my opinion.
I would also like to see the ability to 'gift' a game to friends and relatives.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th February (Europe)
What's happened to GB and GBC games on 3DS Virtual Console?
Cannot bring myself to buy GBA games on Wii U. They just don't look or feel right.
Re: Review: Another World - 20th Anniversary Edition (3DS eShop)

Don't be put off. It's a great game and well worth the money.
Re: Video: The Latest Mario Kart 8 Commercial is Possibly the Strangest Yet
Most people seem to be in agreement....
Quirky and a bit wacky showing Nintendo to be different from run of the mill.
This is more like it!
Re: Play: Mario Golf: World Tour - Results and Round Two
Must admit, I have not played a game as addictive as this for ages. I absolutely love it.
People out there who are on the fence about Mario Golf should get a copy and get swinging. It's brilliant!
Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
Racist?
It's a game for God's sake.
Get over it!
Re: Mario Golf: World Tour Swings Into 18th Place in UK Single Format Chart

Re: Arc Style: Baseball 3D Is Up to Bat on 3DS Next Week
Well it doesn't look like Rusty is coming to the UK so we probably won't get this either
Re: Review: Rusty's Real Deal Baseball (3DS eShop)

Re: Rusty's Real Deal Baseball Has Some Interesting Localization Changes
Please let this come to the UK. It looks really good.
