I wish nintendo would've kept going doing more weird nintendo characters like piranha plant. This focus on 3rd party character just doesn't interest me
Whoever thinks "nintendo is for kids" is an insult needs to sort their priorities. I mean seriously who cares? Video games have always been a children centric activity.
@Chowdaire can you do me a favor? I noticed after the update the tv settings on my switch are available even in handheld mode. Im guessing my switch thinks its connected to the dock, can you check if those settings are available on your switch undocked as well?
Careful! This update ruined my switch, there is no volume now when in handheld mode even when connecting headphones. Volume only works in tv mode after the update
Almost bought the game and watch mario at best buy yesterday, had to really force myself to say no. Nintendo trinkets like these always make a hole in my wallet
@stevep yes, its so annoying to have to switch between pro controllers and joycons for no apparent reason. There is no reason why the game shouldn't handle using two pro controllers or 2 sets of joycons instead. I had to buy some joycon grips just for this game cause its so uncomfortable using them sideways for a while. They go for cheap so I fully recommend them
Wish the game was 1080p as it is it looks sorta blurry on my 4k tv. Got a 1080p gaming monitor from amazon hopefully switch games should look more crisp on it once it arrives
Not as good as usum, for me thats the gen to beat. The base game is pretty bland but post game and dlc have really increased my enjoyment of the game. For future games I hope they go with the dlc route instead of a 3rd version. Im working toward making a competitive team right now, had to watch some videos regarding iv/ev training since I've never done that before. Still miss megas and zmoves...
The switch is a hybrid system. Just as there are games that are best suited for mobile play, there are games that are best suited for tv mode only. No need to hate on this.
@Ghostchip I really like having motion controls in luigis mansion for aiming the vacuum up and down I would love to have that option in sunshine. Widescreen should be a toggle option so purists can still be satisfied and the R stick controls already exist in the nvidia version of galaxy is just a matter of having more options. Not everyone can enjoy the games with their default settings for some its near impossible.
The only problem I had with the switch was the batterylife which got a major boost with the v2 release so im fine with how it is now. All I want are OS updates. Give us folders and themes and more apps, wep browser let us chat and send messages. Let us gift games on the eshop. All of this was already possible on older nintendo consoles just bring it back! Oh and miiverse will always be the most amazing idea nintendo has ever had and yall just weren't ready for it
The wii version was ported to the 3ds and the 3ds version was ported to the wiiu which is the reason why the wiiu version didnt have motion controls like the wii and worse graphics.
@JimmySpades bold of you to assume that I "hate nintendo" just from my comment. I just called it like I saw it, a lazy effort. I expect better quality and hold nintendo to a higher standard than the other developer's because nintendo games are hella expensive. The games almost never go on sale and when they do its just a 30% discount at most.
As someone who plays mostly portable mode touchscreen support would be appreciated. It bothers me that so few games make use of it when its been a standard of nintendo consoles since forever. Pokemon is the worst offender of this, almost all the games had touchscreen support thanks to the ds line and now on the switch they just forgot about it, I want to pet my pkmn gamefreak!!!
@Paperboy that used to happen to me too, turns out I wasnt updating my joycons. Thats an additional manual update that you have to do on the settings. Hope that helps you out!

I dont mind 3ds ports at all but dont stick a 60 dollar price tag on them
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Retakes Second, But Pikmin 3 Sees Disappointing Drop
Nintendo know pikmin is not a strong franchise sales wise so why they stick a premium price for a port of a 7 year old game is beyond me
