Out of stock on Argos before I could complete the order. I got to the point where it let me choose my Nectar points as partial payment, but then it kept messing up and said contact support. Tried that...kind of useless AI bot didn't understand. By the time I got out of that they were gone.
Why give the option if it won't work? Can you not use them for a pre-order? Hm.

@splinters Good point! Thank you.

Ahh.
I don't know whether to get the Mario Kart bundle or not. I am not the biggest racing game fan...and really not very good at them, especially playing against others online. I have never bought a Mario Kart myself, but like it fine when I have played with others, but feel I am missing out if I don't. Ah. Not sure.

On the list to be notified for Argos getting more, but nothing so far.....

Not seeing myself getting one for a while at this rate.

@HugoGED Very much so. Feels more like a Horror! Even Resident Evil like to a little degree. I loved 3 as well though, but never played 2. Not sure if it would be like playing number 3, but just not quite as good?

This game was properly creepy (and wonderful). I feel it was scarier than 3. I remember it being a lot darker visually too, which added to it. Looking forward to this coming to NSO. Still have it on GC, as got it as my launch title with SA2B, but to not have to set it up again to have a playthrough will be great!

@Johnno137426 Me! Minus expansion pack though...£37.99 for the game alone.

Phew. Would not have minded music, as others have said, it somehow linking to the music app would be cool, but not the end of the world, but I am glad that there no are achievements. I feel plenty of games offer them in their own right, such as getting 100 percent in a Kirby game, or finding all stars/moons etc etc. Sorry if you wanted them, but that whole trophy stuff is a nightmare for people with OCD. It wouldn't be fun for me, just stress....which is not why I play games!

Mario Kart World and then DK. Art is on point and packed for them!

Does anyone know....if we buy an upgrade pack to a Switch game via a download, and we have the original cart already, will we always need that Switch 1 cart? Or could it then be sold and you can play without it now?
For a second I thought I could buy the Kirby upgrade pack and then sell my Switch 1 cart.

Probably not though.

Does anyone know....if we buy an upgrade pack to a Switch game via a download, and we have the original cart already, will we always need that Switch 1 cart? Or could it then be sold and you can play without it now? Because it is sounding like not....

@Hero-of-WiiU Same. Unless they incorporate a Nintendo Switch 2 Game voucher scheme (surely needed more than ever now?), what would have been a 'Yes, think I will get that one at 40 pounds and treat myself' will become incredibly selective.

@Dartmonkey - I think we forgot WWE 2k25?

Mario Kart World is a maybe for me, if I manage to get in a bundle. Not a fan of racing games, but have enjoyed previous MK games. Never owned one though so a bit unsure. The def for me were Kirby Forgotten Land Upgrade and The Gamecube NSO at this stage. Kirby Air Riders is also a maybe for me! Again, love Kirby, but possibly too racing orientated for me! Will see how it goes though.

"I don't like playing games on my PC, and if I have to, I avoid keyboard and mouse like the plague"

Me too @AlanaHagues . Just not a fan at all. The only game I have for Steam is Secret of Mana remake, as that is the only way I had to play it. Just have never been a PC gamer. It is not what I sit at a computer to do. I can't see myself using mouse mode if it can be helped.

@rjejr I scrolled down looking for that comment. Right out the gate. Not disappointed.

@jco83 Thank you! Where do you plan to get it yourself?

@jco83 I know. I checked, obviously far too late

I think it is wonderful that Nintendo are giving attention to wheelchair basketball. Nobody saw that coming. I have seen wheelchair users, who do play basketball, comment on the videos applauding Nintendo for this move. There are people this means something to.

That being said...it really does look/feel like part of the tech demo game. Maybe there is more content than we know, but if it is just these exhibition matches with no real progression, different modes, or extra thrills...not sure they can charge too much for this one!

I am determined to get it from Argos so that I can pay for 3/4 of it in Nectar points!

@jco83 Ah, thank you! Edited now

Scaplers already scalping. FFS. 200 odd pound mark up.

Good stuff. I have a very reliable 3rd party set that has never drifted or let me down in 3 years. Not wireless, but stable.

Oh, where they thinking of stocking them? But they are not Funko Pops! They understand that, yes?

Argos all sold out already They were not live a few hours ago. Just checked again now and all gone.

@Broosh Booo.
You are right. That would have softened the blow a bit. You used to get nearly 5 pounds of gold coins if you bought the special Switch voucher! If they are going to be charging that much for one game, it a bit mean not to at least let us have that. It would still be 'money' that we can only spend by using it in their shop. They still get something out of it.

@MrGawain Yep. Sounds fair. Free for NSO and maybe like 99p if you really want it otherwise......
Who will buy it at that price beyond streamers/reviewers for purpose of their shows?
Maybe there is more content then we think, but they didn't show it off well if so.

@RupeeClock Really does.
I love Nintendo...but this is a weird move.
"YOU ARE NOT GAMER ENOUGH FOR OUR NEW CONSOLE!"

@eaglesfly76 Goody. I love the music of Yoshi Story and Island. It is PART of the gameplay experience.

Ooh. I hope so. Is the music good for Wooly World? Crafted World has such bad music it didn't help me warm to it!

Not overly bothered as I don't spend much more than a minute or so on these pages anyway, but I hope there is at least DARK MODE. I always turn on Dark mode for any site that has it. Helps me see better.

@Ulysses "Dear Nintendo, I DON'T ALREADY HAVE GAMING FRIENDS."

Same, sadly. I have not played local co-op in years. Hoping Switch 2 will make it easier to play with a few people on here! I have done it a few times, but the lack of chat or messaging makes it quite hard on some games.

@Bolt_Strike Same...yet another slap from Sega to those who buy Sonic games at launch. Between this and the aggressive discounts that happen within 6 weeks. I have learnt. Never again.

It was a bit overwhelming. More questions than answers right now. I will have processed it better tomorrow once I rewatched and read up again more.

@BrianJL Ah, thank you. I think I might bite for KIRBY DLC then. I have 100 percented it and wished there was more. Never expected there to be. Hopefully 20 pounds or less to upgrade. I wonder if the save data carrys over.

And will any normal Switch games work slightly better? Even a fraction? Or only ones with special patches/updates? I am getting confused with these Switch Switch 2 Edition games

Guys. I am still confused.
If we have the original game...like KIRBY FORGOTTEN LAND...do we get a free update when that DLC/improvement pack comes in August? Or we have to pay as if new?
I would be down for more Kirby! But I don't need to buy it again at 70 pounds..

I feel very bummed out by this. I know people will say 'Inflation etc'....but they were releasing Switch games this month and last at £50. That is not a few months worth of inflation.

@dazzleshell Good point. Let us see what other people sell it at.

@Patendo It does seem very steep. I am hoping a Switch 2 voucher scheme launchs...£100 would be lovely, but probably 120 if they do.

@Traman500 Still processing it...I know what you mean.
I am still a little confused over whether it makes Switch games better? Like a little bit faster or clearer? And I don't need a Switch 2 version of a Switch game for that?

@Danny_ Hopefully you are right. Going from 50 as a base rate to 75...that is a leap and a half. If not, they need to give a seriously good new SWITCH 2 voucher scheme. Like 100 pounds for a pair.

@Danny_

o_o will that be the price of all games going forward for Switch 2? Owch if so.........
That is just....way too much.

This really should have been the Wii Sports pack in thing.
No way will people buy this in droves.

Hmm. Never played and have no interest in source material, but did enjoy Jumanji. Not a cinema watch for me, but shall add to my Cinemaparadiso rental list. Yes, I use a dvd postal service. Stupidly more choices than any 1 streaming service and nothing censored. Also stupidly expensive, but I will support till it folds.

Yipee. See you guys there!

Wowzer. would be interesting to see what games they would put on it given they chose to remaster/remake and sell some heavy hitters like Sunshine, Pikmin 1+2, Prime and TTYD for Switch. Not that this does not leave scope for a huge amount of other bits! Wind Waker, Double Dash, Various Mario Sport titles, Eternal Darkness, Starfox Adventures, those Pokemon RPGs, Luigi's Mansion....could be possibles.

If Sega do decide to get in on the action, imagine Phantasy Star Online in a form that is actually easy to play...online. Haha. It was very ambitious for the Gamecube in 2003 to get that to work, or expect people to buy a modem and keyboard for pretty much just that game. I am sure it would feel clunky as heck now, but I still have fond memories for it, even if I never beat it or got very far.

I mean...I would not be surprised if indy developers or tiny studios did not have the chance to buy one yet, but I really doubt NO big 3rd party has one. Maybe your EAs or SEGAs etc.

@Anti-Matter Wow. Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I did very much like The Sims, especially Bustin Out, which was a little more objective based. Will keep my eye on it!

@Lizuka Ah, I see. Thanks! :0)
