@outsider83 I ended up absolutely loving Origami King after initially being put off by the lack of a levelling system. It might be my game of the year.
The limited time thing sucks, but otherwise this is a step in the right direction. Very cheap of Nintendo to only include a download code rather than a hard copy in the Special edition. At least it makes it easier to say no to.
There are some good games here, but can I specifically recommend Lego City Undercover. I haven't played it on Switch, but it is one of my favourite Wii U games. There's no challenge to it, but it's still fun to play, and inventive and funny. It's a nice world to walk around in.
It's a shame these little cars don't have removable shells, so that we could have a bunch of different characters to chose from without having to buy new cars.
I had so much fun with Cadence, and I still listen to some of the soundtrack from time to time (check out Gleeokenspiel boss music, a personal favourite). I thought I was done with the game but I might check out this DLC pack.
I can not begin to describe what a painful experience using this site is. It's embarrassing, but it's been like this since I ordered my NES joycons and Nintendo hasn't done anything to fix it since, so I guess they don't care.
Setting up a Japanese account on the Switch is incredibly easy, however if you want to play games like Fire Emblem, might I suggest buying a SNES mini and loading it with Japanese exclusives that have English patches. That same official feel without the language barrier.
@XenoShaun I played II on 360, III on Wii U, and... can't remember what I played the first one on. Are the sigma (rereleases?) games easier? That would make sense.
I really enjoyed these games. I remember talk at the time saying that they were hard, but I've never been particularly good at games and I was able to play through them all without too much trouble.
@readyletsgo Unfortunately, Nintendo have made it so that a lot of this stuff (limited Mario 3D AllStars) will be sold on eBay for a greatly inflated price. It didn't have to be this way. I don't know why Nintendo does this.
This is the third time they've done this for Zelda amiibo (which is great), but how about doing it for other ranges which have been out of stock since they launched?
I seem to be having a unique problem, I click on the UK link and it says I need to log in before I can proceed, I click on the log in button and it keeps endlessly reloading the page. All this to order a bag. I wish there was some accountability for this, but there never has been and there never will be.
