Re: Mario Kart 8 Becomes The "Best-Selling" Racing Game In US History

Mr-Fuggles777

I've bought 3 copies on Switch, 1 on my og Switch and after I sold it and bought a Lite for myself and the wife I got us 2 more copies.

I just wish there was more interaction online, it feels like you are just racing NPC's when you can't chat while you race or gloat after spamming 3 red shells
I understand that Nintendo is trying to "protect the kids" from us potty mouths, but surely having an option to allow or block chat in the parental settings would stop that issue.

Re: Soapbox: 'I'll Play It On Game Pass' Is Becoming Common, But Does That Affect Switch eShop?

Mr-Fuggles777

Last few years I've been a Nintendo and PlayStation gamer but the Mrs surprised me with a Series S as its small enough to take to work and I'm a gamepass convert. I have just grabbed the Memory Expansion and I'm currently downloading every Halo game to play through again as I haven't had an xbox since the OG Xb1.

Since signing up for gamepass I've gone from buying 2-3 games a week on Switch to pretty much none - the only switch game I've picked up since having the Xbox is MHRise. It probably doesn't help that I grabbed Razor Kishi so Xcloud also gives me the benefits of portable play for games like Outer Wilds without the Switches downgrades.

@ImBackBB I'm too tired to go searching but I'm.sure in the original instruction book or strat guide for Super Mario Bros, Peach was shown to have Toad parents so she can't be human.
She's just adopted a human shape, similar to toadette when she wears the super crown.

Re: Every Single Bethesda Game On Switch Is Currently On Sale (Europe)

@NGNYS calm down dude, I'm glad the switch is doing well.

It winds me up that games are always way overpriced on the system and it's actually gamers who can't afford other systems getting screwed hardest.
Look at Skyrim and DOOM both are years old (10+ for Skyrim and 5+ for DOOM) and can be picked up on literally every other system for around £10, yet on Switch there is a 150% markup on their sale price FFS!.

I also wouldn't say that I'm lucky to have other consoles, I work damn hard for my money and will spend it on the hobbies I enjoy. If you want the nice things then go work for them and stop moaning.

Just because I have spare cash doesn't mean I'm happy for the big corporations to screw me over on pricing - how does that Nintendo boot taste?

Pointing out flaws with a system doesn't make you a hater, ive owned every Nintendo console, have multiple Nintendo tattoo's and stupid amounts of merch so I could be classed as a fan I suppose. A lot of us feel disenfranchised with Switch after supporting them through the last gen only to be sold the same games again for full price with hardly anything new.

Re: Rumour: The Latest Switch Firmware Update Has Apparently Added Bluetooth Audio Support

Mr-Fuggles777

@Blizzia true, but you also get a lot more for your subscription from Sony and Microsoft than you do with Nintendo. I pay to play online so effectively the games added are "free".
Even if we remove the games Nintendo's online service is years behind the competitors. No voice chat or party options, you can't send friends a message and the actual online stability is poor for most Nintendo games - Smash was borderline unplayable for the first year (no idea if it's stable now as I got rid of it).

@Ghost_of_Hasashi it's true that you get a library of nes and snes games but for £3 a month more Sony gives away current AAA games. This month they added the new Oddworld game to the PS+ lineup along with Days Gone & Zombie Army 4. Last month we got FF7 remake!
Xbox Gold free games are a little more disappointing but with GPU it's not really a problem, and it's nice getting multi gen games for free every month.

Bluetooth support would be nice on Switch as my new Xbox Wireless Headset is coming tomorrow, I would have to play MHR muted.

Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0

Mr-Fuggles777

The switch needs a complete overhaul not a slight upgrade for a new model.
The current switch can't even handle 1080 on new releases, seems ridiculous that people are asking for 4k. Base last gen systems didn't hit that resolution and to expect a handheld with the power of a PS4 pro or X1X is a little far fetched.

With games like MHR looking so good and selling so well on current switch why do Nintendo need to push for an upgrade that would price a large proportion of the customer base out. Many of us gamers wouldn't think twice about dropping £500-£600 on a console, but how many casuals are going to do that and that's Nintendo's biggest market share.
