I bought three pairs which I then used on, Kirby Return to Dreamland, Luigi's Mansion 2, Echoes of Wisdom, Mario Party Jamboree, Mario and Luigi Brothership, and DKC Returns HD. The vouchers are already a great deal before you factor in the bonus gold points.
Very disappointed not to see the criminally underrated Murder by Numbers on the list, especially considering some of the dross/mediocrity that made it.
I have zero sympathy for Nintendo. They are sitting on a HUGE software catalogue and they either overcharge for it or simply don't make it available at all. If it's over 20 years old (especially if I've already paid for it) it's fair game as far as I'm concerned. Needless to say, I strongly disagree with Switch emulation.
I thought Nintendo were one of the companies that had a say on this game? Either Microsoft gave them a bunch of money or... it's also coming to Switch Online... where I still won't pay extra to sub up.
The addition of the Mega Drive/Genesis games was a huge mistake. You can already buy the Mega Drive Collection and own the games outright for around £15 on any given sale. If Mega Drive games have added even £2 to the subscription price, it's a huge waste of money.
Ha! You're in the right area. I'm just amazed that you saw through my oh-so-subtle clue. Yes, essentially, when a product goes live, everyone jumps on the product page and the site can't handle the traffic, BUT, there are other ways of getting the item into your basket and reaching the checkout.
I preordered one of these solely because I saw people trying and failing to buy one on Amazon, and I know a sweet trick to get around the bottleneck. Worked with the Series X as well.
Can we do more to call out people who piggyback on rumours and then claim to have known what was going to happen after it has been revealed? It's pure BS.
Also, reporting on leaks hours before a direct presumably doesn't help the site's relationship with Nintendo, which, in the past has seemed quite strong considering that Nintendo has sited Nintendolife for review scores.
@Doktor-Mandrake Metroid is super hard (unless you're blessed with an abundance of patience), but Super Metroid is a masterpiece. If you still have a Wii U hooked up, you might want to check out Metroid Fusion while you can still get on the eshop. Who knows, maybe it'll be announced tomorrow night for the Switch if the rumoured Gameboy Advance comes to Switch Online.
I would just like to take this opportunity to say: If you missed out on Samus Returns for the 3DS, go and check it out, it's amazing. I missed it when it originally came out because I had Switch fever, but I recently bought it from the eshop (£39.99 yikes!). I was a bit put off by the price, but it's totally worth it, and there are aspects of the design that I can already see in Dread. Get it from the eshop while you still can!

@Vriess Give it time. It took me about 4 hours before the correct points total showed.

Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Coming To Switch, Confirmed For Holiday 2024
Has it definitely been confirmed that Sony are publishing the Switch version? I can't see anything official to corroborate this?

Re: It's Official, Total Switch Sales Have Now Surpassed The Game Boy And PS4
Presumably, Game Boy sales also include Game Boy Color, which is cooking the books a little bit.

I hope they don't charge 10,000 for it.
Re: Nintendo Leaker Suggests Pricing Of Switch Online's Expansion Pack Could Be Tied To "Licensing Costs"
The addition of the Mega Drive/Genesis games was a huge mistake. You can already buy the Mega Drive Collection and own the games outright for around £15 on any given sale. If Mega Drive games have added even £2 to the subscription price, it's a huge waste of money.
Re: Switch's N64 And Sega Genesis Controllers Are Now Up For Pre-Order
You can buy 4 N64 controllers if you've got the money and the inclination. I went with 2.

I would sooner play at 480p than play via cloud gaming.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
A character from a series that doesn't feature on Nintendo platforms. Way. To. Go. Obviously, that terrible rhythm game doesn't count.

Re: Feature: Our Verdict On Mario Golf: Super Rush's 3.0 Update, Including New Characters And Courses
Hitting balls at cliffs that require a whirlwind to take the ball up is the opposite of fun. The rest of the game is good though.

Should be a spoiler warning when it's less than 6 hours before a Direct.

Re: Gallery: Is The Panasonic Q The Most Goshdarn Beautiful Nintendo Console Of All Time?
