I used to use the site daily, but now I find that everything you post has been up on Reddit for usually hours already so I don't much find the need.
I liked the articles when Tom was about.
I still come out of habbit a few times a week though. Usually for the Weekly Download Update, which I must admit, you've also been really slack on lately.
As much as I hate to say it I'm running out of reasons to come back. I don't even see that Irish guy here anymore. He was fun.
@Shiryu In 1991 I was playing Sonic. If I had this back then maybe I'd be nostalgic about it. I think this is the kind of game that you could get away just watching on YouTube.
Got mine at the midnight launch. Mine is fine thank goodness. There's a bit where it looks like it might have 'warped', but I checked my girlfriends and brothers (much newer) Switch consoles and they've got it too, straight out the box. So I'm good there. Bet you're happy you read that!
Shibata seemed a really kind and gentle guy, but I don't think he was quite charismatic enough to be featured in Directs. His English was also a bit difficult for me to understand. Granted, that could be me.
I wish him well for the future and look forward to seeing who will take his place.
Why bother with an Xbox One? PS4 has all the same games and more.
Genuinely surprised by the UK here. I can't speak for the rest of the country, but in my city and neighbouring towns, Nintendo don't get any shelf space. Not stocked in any supermarket besides ASDA.
Hats off to Ninty, but I also think it's an indicator that Xbox is just doing poorly. The newest model just throws power around. That might be good if there were some nice exclusives.
I love how 'full motion video' was a selling point once upon a time. I didn't liked FMV games back in the 90s... Actually, scratch that. Road Avenger was awesome. Don't think I'll be trying this one though, unless it's dirt cheap.
@Beetoe I wasn't expecting a reply to a comment over a year old.
It still stands though, a year on. Ninty really need to solve this. I've put hundreds of hours into multiple games. If my Switch breaks now I might just give up on it.
I saw this earlier and didn't notice it was see-through.
This isn't the first time I have been shocked by something on the eShop. There's another indie game, can't remember what it's called, but it's about driving... and there's a swear word in the trailer.
While it's not terrible, there's not a whole lot of 'must haves' going on there for me.
Yes, I want Metroid and Bayo 3, but Ninty really needs to bring in something big. We had Zelda AND Mario last year... compared to that this just feels a bit measly.
I had to go with PayDay 2, Dark Souls and Wolfenstein as I've never played them.
Totally not my thing but I have no real issue with it. Wish they'd just tell us about a new system update to be honest. And some new games would be sweet.
I got this when it came out as there wasn't much else to play, at least in 3D. I got used to the controls, and thought it was novel. However I got to the last level and just couldn't be bothered with it, and I haven't touched it since. Would likely not buy any DLC or sequel, but would probably give some free DLC a go.

Core Design for life.
Re: Ben Schwartz Reveals He Will Voice Sonic The Hedgehog In Upcoming Movie
Well, at least it's not Roger Craig-Smith.
Re: Fortnite v5.20 Brings New Weapon, Steady Storm Mode And Resolution Upgrade On Switch
The game is performing worse since the update.
Re: Nintendo Releases Complete Sales Figures For Its Million-Selling Switch Games
So, this is only first party games?... Hopefully theres a few third party million sellers too.
Bit of a drop off in sales after Splatoon 2. We need some more heavy hitters/'ever green' titles.
Re: Gallery: This Super Mario Board Game From China Looks Too Good To Be True
Yoshi looks more like a duck than a dino. It's awesome.
Re: Thimbleweed Park Sales On Switch Predicted To Exceed Lifetime Steam Sales
For me, it didn't live up to the extreme hype I've seen around various places, but it is good. I've got it physically and digitally.
I have to agree with the guy up top, though. I think indies are doing so well because there isn't much in the way of AAA.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July (Europe)
All these games better be cheaper to compete with Fortnite tbh.
Re: The First Two Sega AGES Titles Are Launching On Switch Next Month
I'll get Sonic. Shame it's not Whitehead's iOS remake version...

Re: Nintendo UK Is Asking For As Much As £180 To Repair Cracked Switch Consoles
There's nothing wrong with my day 1 Switch... with literally hundreds of hours of playtime. But I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
If Nintendo said 'OK, there's a problem here', imagine their losses when everyone that has legitimately dropped their Switches rushes to abuse it.
Re: Nintendo Clamps Down On Risqué Imagery By Censoring Taisen Hot Gimmick Switch Port
Keep images like this off of its eShop listing, and let the ratings board do the rest.

Re: Review: Another World (Switch eShop)
Highly over rated imo. Couldn't get into its trial and error gameplay.

Re: EA Sports Vice President Says FIFA 19 Will Be Upfront About FUT Card Pack Odds
I've been boycotting them for years.
Re: Fortnite Tells Players To "Look To The Sky" This Saturday For A One-Off 'Blast Off' Event
@ryancraddock Thanks Ryan. Do you play Fortnite at all?
Re: Fortnite Tells Players To "Look To The Sky" This Saturday For A One-Off 'Blast Off' Event
6:30 BST, tomorrow (Saturday), right?
Re: Capcom Could Release More Cloud-Based Games On Nintendo Switch
I'd rather they make the graphics a bit worse and release it on cart. Otherwise, I won't bother. I like to own my games.
Re: Switch Hackers Are Now Forcing Adult-Themed Imagery Into Super Mario Odyssey
As a mod of the Switch subreddit... I've seen the pics. Not nice!
Re: Review: Paladins - Founder's Pack (Switch eShop)
Will grab it when it's free.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st June (Europe)
Any chance of a blooms td review?
Re: Review: Fallout Shelter (Switch eShop)
Surprised to see so much negativity. I think it's fun. Won't be spending any money on it though.
Re: Review: Fortnite (Switch eShop)
Whoever coined 'homeheld' is a genius.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th June (Europe)
I'm actually gutted we're not getting that Bloons Tower Defense like the USA did...
Re: Conversations To Bring YouTube And Netflix To Switch Are "On-Going"
What more needs to be said other than 'We want your app'?
Jeez, Nintendo. Are you guys communicating via morse code or something?
FFFFFFFRUSTRATING to say the least.
Re: Ubisoft Confirms Just Dance 2019 For Switch, Wii U And Wii
lol. I'm only surprised that there's a Wii U version. Especially when you consider the Wii U can play Wii games.
Re: EA Says Madden 19 Isn't Coming To Switch Because It's "What's Best" For The Game
Perhaps it's just an indication that nobody cares about American Football anymore?
lol, just kidding friends. I'm sure some Americans still like it!
I think Nintendo probably 'footed' the bill for FIFA (which I also don't care for btw) on Switch. I hope they didn't waste too much money on it.
EA don't want Nintendo around.
Re: Random: This Fan-Made KFC Fortnite Skin Is A Finger Lickin’ Nightmare
How has nobody said 'cluck-bait' yet?...
Anyway, go vegan.
Re: Former Nintendo Of Europe Pres Satoru Shibata Has Joined The Pokémon Company
Shibata seemed a really kind and gentle guy, but I don't think he was quite charismatic enough to be featured in Directs. His English was also a bit difficult for me to understand. Granted, that could be me.
I wish him well for the future and look forward to seeing who will take his place.
Re: Switch Owned More Market Share Than Xbox One In UK Last Month
That's awesome. Go Nintendo!
Why bother with an Xbox One? PS4 has all the same games and more.

Re: Never-Before-Seen Pokémon Designs Show How Gold And Silver Could Have Been Very Different
Whoever leaked this, I salute you.
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate Hits Switch This August
Not gonna lie, I got a PS4 just for World. It wasn't even that good. I'd rather Generations. Gens isn't anywhere near as good as 4U. But I'll take it.
Re: Review: The Bunker (Switch eShop)
I love how 'full motion video' was a selling point once upon a time. I didn't liked FMV games back in the 90s... Actually, scratch that. Road Avenger was awesome. Don't think I'll be trying this one though, unless it's dirt cheap.
Re: A Listing On Nintendo's Official Store Suggests Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Is Coming to Switch
Oops. Nintendo UK, you spoiled the surprise..!
Re: Review: Earthlock (Switch eShop)
Looks pretty good actually. I'll stick it on the 'maybe' pile. Thanks for the review.
Re: Nintendo's Damon Baker Explains Why Some Indie Devs Are Refused Access To The eShop
Are there any examples of salty devs that aren't accepted?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Save Data Is Tied To The Console And Cannot Be Transferred

It still stands though, a year on. Ninty really need to solve this. I've put hundreds of hours into multiple games. If my Switch breaks now I might just give up on it.

Re: Flip Wars Developer Over Fence Files For Bankruptcy
Interesting to hear of a game failing on the Switch. The game did look a bit boring though, tbh.
Re: (Pre)History Is Made As Ark: Survival Evolved Is Officially Announced For Switch
I'll see how it performs/reviews. Totally interested though.
Re: Take-Two "Impressed" With Switch, But Has No Games To Announce Right Now
I just want GTA. All of them. And Bully.
Re: Put Your Wallet Away, Mario Kart Tour Will Be "Free To Start"
I wonder how successful these mobile games have been for Nintendo? I lose interest in them almost immediately after release.
Re: Review: Tennis (Switch eShop)
That's a shame. Who doesn't love a good round of Tennis? I'll wait for the Mario one.
Re: The Original SteamWorld Dig Will Tunnel Onto Switch Next Month
I'll maybe get it when it's super cheap, but I already own this multiple times already...

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th January (Europe)
@gaga64 Poor poor Wii U.
Thanks for the comment.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th January (Europe)
Does the Wii U not get anything anymore? If so, when was the last game and what was it?
Re: Review: 60 Seconds! (Switch eShop)
I'm not surprised... it looks bad.
