It's overpriced when you consider that our currency has crashed #BlameBREXIT. But $70 is about £50, so it's actually cheaper to buy it from the US than in the UK as the Switch is region agnostic.
Well done Ninty on 'truly' innovating and leaving the rest of the nerd-herd with their fancy 4k gfx and VR (which no one really wants) and going your own way.
Well I'm assuming a) a lot of people missed out on MK8 as it was on the WiiU b) wanna get one of the biggest Ninty titles of all time c) want to play with friends
The chances are that if you've already got NetFlix then you'll have a device/TV that will display it, so why bother making a Switch do what's already being done elsewhere? No point reinventing the wheel really.
Well yeah VR is a 'gimmick' and 4K has a very short shelf-life given that they're developing 8K... so it's all largely pointless (and to us PC users just a resolution). Ninty just gotta keep doing their own thing, it's what they've always done.
I've been a fan of XCom since the (1994) original - turn based strat has always been a favourite genre of mine. I absolutely loved M&R:KB, in fact it was a deciding motivation to get a Switch. Great game, glad Firaxis have taken note. Now I just want to see XCOM 1/2 come out on the Switch!!! PLEASE!!!
Goodness me, I thought you were Alex but with a beard. Welcome Ed, good to have some new blood, hope you'll do lots of new and exciting things with NL.
Well it'd probably be quite appealing to Japanese paedofiles and perverts! This (so called) game touching up overly sexualised school children is just so wrong on so many levels - it's probably a cultural thing but that's no excuse really.
Fantastic! This game has been so much fun over the last year and it just keeps on getting better (I never thought I'd hear myself saying that about a PKMN spin-off). What a fab reward the 1st year anniversary of this game which has taken the world by storm and brought PKMN back into global consciousness.
All the naysayers, whingers and quitters can sit down and take a back seat, it's not too late it's arrived exactly on time... now that we're 30+ Game on!
Another random report from the Inter-blue, it's either someone clamouring for attention and have given their unit some serious abuse, or an actual defective (Friday afternoon) product - which Ninty will replace. Either way it's not exactly a widespread issue. Maybe they'll fix it with system update Move along, nothing to see here!
It's very noble of them to say don't buy skins but meh! But they bought 10 Switches?!! 10 marvelous machines which could've actually gone to Ninty fans upon launch. Shame on them!
"stick-on floor protector procured from IKEA" Are we serious right now, any idea how abrasive that stuff is?!! Repeated use of this kind of hack will only lead to the accumulation micro scratches on the screen each time it's docked. You definitely want to use micro-fibre, or soft spongy material product. Better still just get screen protectors, you'd be mad not to have them on already if you've got a Switch!
Erm... and what about a review for the WiiU version. Zelda:BotW was designed for the WiiU afterall, and this has got to be the WiiU's last hurrah! C'mon Ninty Life get a review/comparison on.
@OorWullie Seriously?!! They really didn't make use of the WiiU controller for the inventory, what's wrong with these people - if you've got the hardware available use it and this is on their own IP. Unbelieveable!
I was tempted to get the Switch to play Zelda:BOTW but then I read this article that this game is designed and setup for the WiiU [ https://is.gd/aarGgQ ] and I would be missing out on the most excellent second (tablet) screen for an inventory.
Is there any point second-guessing Ninty? They always pull something out of the bag and surprise us all. IMHO they peaked too soon with the New 3DS... instead of just a marginal upgrade over the 1st/2nd gen 3DS they could've really ramped up the hardware and exponentially boosted the power/performance whilst maintaining the back catalogue compatibility of 3DS/DS games. The New 3DS is a bit of a flop and isn't really worth the upgrade IMHO, but a better Newer 3DS with Switch-like (NVidia) architecture could step the DS line up a generation. Switch fails as a successor in that it isn't backwardly compatible with the 3DS/DS game library.

Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 30 Best Selling Digital Games on Switch in 2017
Stardew Valley is ideal for the Switch, I couldn't not buy it, now I can't stop playing it.
It's typical that perverted Senran Kagura trash is so far up the Japanese charts.

Re: Nintendo Reiterates That It's Not Interested In Virtual Reality Or 4K Support
Well yeah VR is a 'gimmick' and 4K has a very short shelf-life given that they're developing 8K... so it's all largely pointless (and to us PC users just a resolution). Ninty just gotta keep doing their own thing, it's what they've always done.

Got it for WiiU yesterday, 4 hours into it and I can unanimously and unequivocally say "YES! It is that good!"
