The issue wasnt with the controller or advert for me. It was that the console had no games I wanted to play. I was tempted with wind waker, much later on but just got an old GameCube copy and played it on my original Wii.
I understand that voice chat is not going to be allowed on Nintendo consoles, with kids mixing with teens and the first-time-gamer user base, who will be shocked. Nintendo does not want to be associated with the trash talk you hear on other platforms. I don't see it happening and, while it may be an unpopular opinion, I think it makes sense. Just use your phone to talk to people.
Switch had the potential to become a portable GameCube or Wii, and would have been if they hadn't cancelled virtual console. Graphics < Gameplay < Greed
I can count the number of times a voice actor has impacted my gaming experience on zero fingers. I suppose everyone deserves their 10 seconds of fame. Moving on...
I didn't want this game. I have the other 2 and find them boring. This nonsense about boycotting for spurious reasons has made me want to buy the game.
The scripts, plot and voice acting have always been terrible in these games. I don't know how this 'voice actor' can take this job seriously. It is just a hammy British accent that lots of people can do. I seriously can't tell the difference between voice actors. Also this person calling to cancel the game, she's never going to get a job talking into a microphone ever again. Would you hire someone who is likely to badmouth you on the internet?
@ParadoxFawkes I also got something from china with gyro, rumble and wireless and a glowing light round the joysticks for some reason. Can't buy these hori things when they only do 1/4 of the job.
I got bored half way through all three, plus the Travis Returns game and turned them all off. Would I buy another one? ... I want to say no, but I do stupid things sometimes.
I think owning an original copy of the game, gives you more legal options when it comes to emulating. It certainly gives more ease of access after Nintendo discontinues their online 'services'.
I chose Japan because the other two look too much like an actual resident evil game. Japan one has loads going on, which might give a clue that this isn't a survival horror game, and it's a naff arena shooter which reuses some assets from better games.
I've found a small USB vacuum cleaner really helps with the dust that piles up around Splatoon 2. Not sure if I want to get Splatoon 3 just yet. It might create more housework.
I'm not paying $30 for an indie game with performance issues. May pick this up on steam, I have ordered a deck. I'm in no rush though, I can wait for a sale.
@Iconoclysm other platforms enable access to new games. NSO had the least value for money. To play this old 007 game, you need to pay for the more expensive tier. Either way I look at it, it is really expensive for what is on offer.
So Xbox players get to buy an enhanced version of the game but Nintendo players can only borrow it via an expensive subscription? Is this the case? Rather lame if it is.
I like the look of this game but I doubt the devs will put a Nintendo level of attention into getting it to run well, so I doubt it will be an enjoyable experience on switch.
This is not a best of list. It is all of the games on Nintendo consoles, from worst to best. The tail end of the list is the best of list. The first few are stinkers.

Re: Random: Every Issue Of Nintendo Power Is Now Available To Download
To be able to read these on your switch would be a good addition to Nintendo Switch Online. Not enough for me to pay for it, but a good addition.

Re: Random: No, Nintendo Of America Didn't Tweet A Pic Of Mario Flipping The Bird
I don't care about the significance of memes, little throwaway sentences and whatnot. Sentences a bit like this one.
Re: Nintendo's Q1-2 Digital Sales Make Up Over 50% Of All Software Revenue
I'm fine with digital only, if Nintendo stops pretending they need parity with retail (who get 50% mark up), and make all games 30usd at launch.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch Games
They should make a 3rd person Metroid game with the BOTW engine.
Re: Review: Ghost Song - A Potent Mix Of Metroid And Dark Souls, But Maybe Not On Switch
I'll look into how bad the performance is, but either way, I will not pay much at all for a game that doesn't work as intended.
Re: Poll: Is The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Good Enough Value Yet?
I would love a Snes games collection on a physical cartridge.
Re: Grab Your Torch, Alan Wake Remastered Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
It's nice when a game I want to play is on Switch.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 And 7 Cloud Lock In Nintendo Switch Release Dates
They should release the ps1 games. They would run native. Code Veronica too.
Re: Bayonetta 3's New Voice Actor Asks Everyone To "Just Be Good To Each Other"
@iaLgan Metal gear solid has good voice acting, but the game holds up on its own.

Re: Talking Point: Which Animation Studios Should Tackle Nintendo's Other Franchises?
I would rather see a live action Metroid, without Brie Larson.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
I find it shocking that she drew a parallel between herself to a nurses visiting food banks. So entitled.
Re: Hori Reveals New Pokémon-Themed Designs For The Switch Split Pad Fit

Re: 'Try Before You Buy' eShop Sale Offers Biggest Discount Yet On Metroid Dread (North America)
All these games often go cheaper at retail. There are more options than the eShop.
Re: Review: Moonscars - A Brutal, Beautiful Soulslike In Need Of A Performance Patch
Performance issues in a 2D pixel art game? Maybe the devs should get a different job?
Re: Overwatch 2 Player Calculates '5 Year' F2P Grind To Unlock New Hero's Cosmetics
There are frightening 1960s dystopian scifi stories about people wasting their survival rations, trading them for costumes for their dolls.
Re: Overwatch 2 Player Calculates '5 Year' F2P Grind To Unlock New Hero's Cosmetics
Suddenly paying $60 for a proper game feels much more of an attractive option.
Re: Review In Progress: No Man's Sky - Right Up There With The Very Best Switch Ports
@GrailUK ahh yes, I agree. I would love for Prime 4 to have a usable ship.
Re: Review In Progress: No Man's Sky - Right Up There With The Very Best Switch Ports
Shame there is no talk of a Samus ship and suit for Switch. Missed opportunity.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?

Re: OlliOlli World Is Getting A Physical Switch Release, Except It Isn't
I like having the cartridge so I can swap or lend the game to friends.

I'm not paying $60 for an old game. I hope they release this at $20-25.
Re: No Man's Sky Creator Is Happy To Leave Microtransactions Out Of The Game
I still hope Samus' ship and power suit are included in the switch version.
Re: Video: We Played Some No Man's Sky On Switch - Here's What We Thought
I don't want multiplayer. Im not getting NSO anyway.

Tunic. Its nice that a new game that I want to play came out on switch.

Re: No Man Sky's 4.0 Update Will Be "Fully Focused" On The Nintendo Switch Launch

Re: The Metroid Dread Vibes Are Strong In Action-RPG Platformer 'Trinity Fusion'

Re: Best Contra Games On Nintendo Systems
While these games are great, they are way too hard for me. I can only play them with cheat codes. So I rank the games that allow cheat codes higher.
