I'm so getting this! As a kid I never had a Wii or a Gamecube, only a N64, so Super Mario 64 will be a trip back to my childhood days, and for the other two will be my first time playing them, but they'll be amazing, I'm sure.
It looks great. Literally got Goosebumps while watching it. The first two books, The last wish and the sword of destiny seem to be clearly depicted in the trailer. If you have only played the games, maybe you will remember more stuff from the games story in season 2, but as it seems, it will be phenomenal.
I started reading the books, and definitely starting with the short stories is the best way to introduce the Witcher's world to newcomers (like me, I haven't played too much of the games). I hope they do this right, I am looking forward to this series since it was announced.
Good you gave some recognition to Reggie, he may not be a developer or a decision maker, but he has been hella good at showing their products in a different way.
Mine started drifting shortly before I got Smash. It is sad that they have started to fail already so soon, but at least we have options to fix it. Will try the tutorial to see if contact cleaner is enough, otherwise I will have to check aliexpress for a new set of joysticks. Thanks for explaining it so well!
Crosscode Devs pointed out that it was hard to port it to switch, and that there would be a Switch version when hedgehogs learn to fly. Really looking forward to this one!
Great article, let's hope ninty dives the hand in the pocket to support the competitive scene. I can't wait for this game to finally get out, I am even dreaming of it. Hope it is worth the wait, everyone onto the hype train!
@Strumpan The only close friend whom I might lend it to, lives in another city and is buying his own game so we can play online. I do have a 128 Gb MicroSD. I have only played 2 digital games, and that's because they were cheap, having your game in your hand is a great feeling, but buying it digital means fewer catridges to travel with. I am not planning to sell the game in any point after having bought it either. Ironically physical versions are cheaper than digital, in my country. So I don't know what to choose.
@Mykillvee That might be an option, but not the one Ninty has taken before, remember New 3DS? and how long was it from PS4 to PS4 Pro? I bet it was way longer than 2 years.
I would say more power, but that would mean they would have some games able to run on the new device but not on the 1st gen one, so having bought a switch already, I would like to be able to play any upcoming game, and hence it would please me more if they upgraded anything but that.
@StephanDLW Nope, and honestly I noticed it like 8 months later or so, since I use mainly when playing with a 3rd person, and hence it was used for Mario Kart. I found out that it had this issue when I used it for hollow Knight and I was jumping and smashing my face against every enemy.
@StephanDLW Lucky you! Mine actually has this little problem where it presses both up and left (or right), when pressing left (or right) button on the D-pad. Not too bad for some games, but still very annoying when triggered.
Bought this game last week (on Mexican eShop) and gotta say it is the first Metroidvania (whatever that means) that has had me playing it intensely. It is hard but also very rewarding. I may suck at it but I'll keep playing it until I beat it.
@Thegaminggeek How are the new ones compared to say Splatoon 2? I actually did worst when the motion controls launched, because I fluster when encountering foes, and the camera just went really shaky.
I had a rough time trying to adapt to the control system. It's not as intuitive as you would expect. The game itself ain't half bad, but I would not invest much time in it.
I play it on switch and just beat Mewtwo. Now on "Random" isles. No dime expended at all. I guess the part of all the restrictions the game has, implied more of a challenge to me to beat the game. Sometime I'll finish it. No intention at all on throwing money in it when better pokemon games are on the way.
@StupidName64 Actually what the article says is that even if you haven't purchased the OctoExpansion, you can play as an octoling, hence many will pick it just to see how octolings look like.
@BanjoPickles Never played it before, and yesterday I paired with an awesome team that otherwise would have ended first, but got 3rd mostly for saving me like 3 times. If you are good for this kind of games, maybe you can catch up quick without a headset, however, if you rely highly on communication, a headset is recommended. Remember it will support audiochat natively whitout the need of an app (thank you Epic). In the meantime search the web for guides as how to play better in squad or duos mode, and try to cope fast.

Re: Check Out Donkey Kong Bananza's All-New Kong Cast Members & Animal Transformations
Of all the birds they had to pick from, to make the "bird" transformation, they went and picked one that in reality can't fly...
Other than that, nice transformations.

Re: InkyPen Is Now Offering Free-To-Read Comics On Nintendo Switch
I would rather use my phone or tablet. I just don't find the appeal of it on switch, but I understand others might like it.

Re: Nintendo Hosting New Indie Highlights Video Presentation Tomorrow
I really want to play Crosscode, I've heard it's amazing, and it seems like the kind of game to play on the switch, I wish they showcase it tomorrow.
Re: Random: It Turns Out That Kirby Has A Skeleton

Re: Nintendo Really Wants You To Use A Wired Connection For Smash Bros. Ultimate
They should make a bundle "Smash+LAN Adapter". Profit.

This is so AWESOME. I don't know if I should get the physical or the digital version, any thoughts?

@StephanDLW Heard that from the xenoverse version one and onwards, that stopped happening.
