@Dazran303 Hey man, thanks for the info. So you're 100% able to play online with people on your friends list? I've heard conflicting reports. Haven't had the chance to check myself, and I wanted to talk my mate into getting it... but only if we can play together.
Oh and btw, I watched your whole MH3U let's play and it was good fun.
@JaxonH Thanks for filling me in. The technical aspects are totally over my head but you did a good job of breaking it down. This has left me wondering though, do you think a port of GTA IV or V would be possible on the Switch? Would the CPU be a problem?
I've only played the Switch version, and that part in the park where you're chasing some guy and it goes in slow motion... It really took me out of the game. I'm not much further than that, but if there are more sections that perform like that I'll be a bit disappointed.
I wonder if they could remedy these problems with a patch, or is this really a case of the Switch just not being as powerful as even the PS3?
Either way it's mightily impressive for a handheld. I play almost soley docked, though.
This gave me flashbacks of being young and knowing that the rest of the world already has their N64s and their PlayStations... but we gotta wait. My thoughts are with the South Koreans... but at least they're getting it at all!
I have the game, and am enjoying it so far. If you're buying it just know that it's not much like GTA. You don't really shoot very much and you are penalised for crashing your car. I'm so used to GTA that I just drive like a maniac.
Whenever a new Switch game comes out and I decide to buy from GAME - they usually don't even have the game on the shelf. I have to ask at the counter if they've got any 'out back'.
My girlfriend has it on Xbone but being on Switch makes me 100% more interested in playing it. DOOM and LA Noire. They're the two games I want, and hope do well at the moment. Oh I also want those Resident Evil games, and wouldn't mind Skyrim too.
Personally, while I'd be happy for another DKC, I think I'd rather they moved onto something else. Perhaps even a new 3D DK game. Whatever they do I'm sure it'll be great.
I'm willing to bet a lot of people buying on Xbox and PlayStation don't have 4K TVs. I have an expensive TV that is not 4K. I won't be upgrading for a while.
@MartyFlanMJFan Aw man, I feel for you. From Nintendo.co.uk? I checked my junk folder and apparently it's been dispatched. It says it's due tomorrow, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were to come late. I only pre-ordered it yesterday!
The 3D feature is very special. There's no other console like it. It could of course be seen as a 'gimmick', but it's a good one. Good because it's great, but also completely optional.
I think it was released at the right time. Everyone was being suckered into buying expensive TVs with 3D, then Nintendo come along with, imo, better 3D and without the glasses no less.
I may be bias, the 3DS is one of my favourite consoles of all time, but I love the 3D effect.
After playing the demo I'm in no rush to buy this. If it's ever cheap on the eShop, between £5-10, I'd give it a pop. But at the asking price I find it hard to justify the purchase.
@admwllms Don't get me wrong, it was 'bad', but there was fun to be had. Me and my two brothers would all play online together, meet up, and find people to kill and steal all their stuff. There were some funny glitches too, some made you invincible... and there was a glitch that made you slide on the floor like a snake. Made us crease with laughter. The voice chat was hilairious too. All in all we got our money's worth out of it.
It actually does look pretty good. Even though the game will be naff (like his other games), they do hold a certain charm. I enjoyed Ice Station Z. I would pick it up if it were on Switch, but I've stopped buying on 3DS.
Dude, use the funds you make from this to get yourself a Switch dev kit!

Re: Feature: Yooka-Laylee Jumps Onto Switch in December - We Learn All About It
I've waited this long so I can also wait until it comes out in a box. Although, if it hits £10-ish on the eShop, I might be tempted.
Re: Sega Finally Embraces Sanic Hegehog With Sonic Forces DLC
I wonder if the original artist gets any royalties?
Re: Soapbox: It Took Nintendo To Turn Me Into A Smartphone Gamer
Not even Nintendo's efforts have been able to get me into smartphone games. Yes they're good, but I'll always prefer playing Switch or 3DS.

Re: Review: Nintendo Presents: New Style Boutique 3 - Styling Star (3DS)
I'm going to get this as a surprise Christmas present for my girlfriend. Thanks for the review.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd November (Europe)
Worms for me. Might pick up some more games come pay day... but where do I start? There are so many games I want.
Re: Review: Worms W.M.D. (Switch eShop)
I'm really enjoying it so far.
Re: BadLand Games to Donate 75% Of Its Axiom Verge Profits to Healthcare for Tom Happ's Son
That's very touching. Does the game come with a box and game card?
Re: Resident Evil Revelations Collection Isn't Getting A Physical Release On Switch In Europe
I'd import it, but I don't like the idea of having to redeem Revelations 2 onto a different user account.
Might just skip it...

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Is Available Now
My girlfriend will be happy, but I will wait for the Switch version.
Re: Review: Rocket League (Switch eShop)
I've spent way too much on Switch games lately, and I really want to get Worms WMD next week so this one will have to wait. Maybe get it on a sale.
Re: Naughty Hackers Have Homebrew Running On Switch Now
You mean you couldn't play Mario on a launch console if the console hadn't been updated?
Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
Never played this... but I've just paid for DOOM and LA Noire so it'll have to wait. Maybe Christmas if I'm lucky.

Re: Destiny And Titanfall Artist Is Bringing The Pixar-like Sleep Tight To Switch
I'm assuming then that this isn't that Titanfall dev that laughed about the Switch...
Re: Review: RiME (Switch)
Wow. All that extra time for what? I fear Yooka Laylee will share the same fate - extra dev time, terrible performance.
Re: Review: Perception (Switch eShop)
That's a shame. I'd heard lots of good stuff about this game. Might be worth a pop during a future Halloween sale or something...
Re: Soapbox: DOOM is the Most Important Switch Game Yet

Re: Video: L.A. Noire for Nintendo Switch Gets a Smart New Trailer
So hyped for this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th November (North America)
However you look at it, that's one corker of a week.
Re: Hulu Video Streaming App Out Today For Switch In North America
This is awesome for those that can take advantage of it. Can't wait for Netflix to drop in the UK, then I can finally put away the Xbox.
Re: Review: DOOM (Switch)
Someone lend me fifty quid? thnx
Re: Review: Sonic Forces (Switch)
I'll pick it up at some point. I can't wait to see the sales results of Mania vs Forces.
Re: Review: Heroes Of The Monkey Tavern (Switch eShop)
Played the demo and while it seemed very low budget, it wasn't all bad. Wasn't enough to push me into buying it, though.
Re: DOOM Pre-Purchase is Now Live on the European Switch eShop
I want it but I can't afford it right now. lol.
Maybe for Christmas? ...
Re: Talking Point: The Case for Super Mario Odyssey as the Greatest Mario Game
My favourites are Mario 64, Super Mario World, and NSMB... I'm very nostalgic over them.
I think that if I were to introduce someone to the 3D games, Odyssey is probably the best one, the one that they'd likely enjoy the most.
Re: Nintendo Wants Everyone In Your House To Have Their Own Switch
My girlfriend and I both already have our own. Although, I'll surely be getting a new one the moment they release an updated model.
Re: Worms W.M.D. And Overcooked: Special Edition Get Physical On Nintendo Switch In 2018
Ahhh - all I see in this is inflated digital prices for Worms. Glad it's coming but this might mean I will have to wait on a sale.
Re: Random: Did Reggie Just Accidentally Reveal Switch's Next Big Game Announcement?
I don't think it was a game reveal.
Personally, while I'd be happy for another DKC, I think I'd rather they moved onto something else. Perhaps even a new 3D DK game. Whatever they do I'm sure it'll be great.
Re: Video: Gear.Club Unlimited Gets New Trailer And Altered Release Date
'The first car racing game on Switch' ... besides Cars 3: Driven to Win
I don't think it looks too bad to be honest. If it were about £10-15 on the eShop I'd give it a go.
Re: Review: Poi: Explorer Edition (Switch)
I'll have to check this game out at some point! Thanks for the review.
Re: Video: 4K Trailer For L.A. Noire Gives An Idea Of What It Won't Look Like On Switch
I'm willing to bet a lot of people buying on Xbox and PlayStation don't have 4K TVs. I have an expensive TV that is not 4K. I won't be upgrading for a while.
Switch is more than enough for me.
Re: Review: Super Ping Pong Trick Shot (Switch eShop)
Seems crazy, but I'll probably grab this in a sale.
Re: Review: Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
@MartyFlanMJFan Ah fair enough! Good luck to you too, man.

Re: Review: Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
@MartyFlanMJFan No email for me Scared
Re: Review: Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
Was there any doubt? Of course it's a 10! Now I just hope Nintendo.co.uk send me an email saying they've sent my copy... Bit nervous here!
Re: Mutant Mudds Collection Will Support Video Capture
I'm gonna guess he prices it at about £25. Which will probably net him about 25 sales.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th October (North America)
Holy cow, that's a lot of games.
Re: Review: Rogue Trooper Redux (Switch eShop)
I'll be waiting on a sale for this one. Is there co-op play? If it's fun in 2-player I might be more inclined to pick it up.
Re: Review: Don't Knock Twice (Switch eShop)
That's a shame, I was hoping to play something spooky for Halloween.
Re: Rumour: Keymailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for the Switch
While I do think it would be awesome for the game to be on Switch, I think that the PlayStation is the true home of Crash.
Though, I hope this isn't just an error, as I'd love to play this game!
