I've still not subbed as I don't see the benefit; a few games that we all have several times over, crappy mobile chat app, etc. yes there are cloud backups and some online play, both of which should not need subs.. please bring in local saves.
Also isn't the golf game the same one that was a hidden tribute to Satoru Iwata? If so, now charging for it now kind of kills off true meaning of that tribute?
Shame on you Nintendo!!
If it's a different golf game then I'll go back to my train journey and stfu 😁
I purchased the other Batman telltale (£13-physical) and it's still shrink-wrapped. My backlog is growing and the number of much better games is increasing.. this will be a pass until it's dirt cheap, should this really be £40?
I stopped pre-orders via Amazon after they offered A discount voucher for games after release and wouldn't price match their own discount.. way too frustrating and not worth it for the now obsolete £2 discount prime brought. Shop around there are always better deals then Amazon.
It's a big pass by me.. 30 minutes to 1 hour game play or sub 50 seconds if you don't care for the narrative?
Don't get me wrong I'm not intending to place a downer on creative angle of the game, but the focus on an individuals sexual orientation and the trappings of a dull 90's virtual family? Naaaaa, not for me.
I thought this game was also free these days?
RGT 85 has an historic review that takes longer to watch than play the game and was very much more enjoyable 😁
@Stargazer you are right, the steam reviews (albeit 103) are very much a welcome positive response and the developer does appear to be very active in both development and the forums. Which is great as he clearly cares!!
@Francema I was initially of the same opinion, but I think there is a lot more depth to this game than the graphics? Perhaps a demo would encourage others put off by the basic look?
Personally myself being a fan of the binding of Isaac this is one to try out. I guess the question is.. what will be the price point? - £7.99-9.99 and I'm in, any more and I'll be waiting for a sale.
I've also had this pre-ordered for what feels like the beginning of time.. but at least it's on route and hopefully this means all performance issues are now dead & buried?.. and will make the cartridge gold release, without the need for patch (which can only be a great thing)?
A wonderfully fun game; with lots of Easter eggs and nods to yesteryear. Fluid gameplay, moves and combat for all.. with plenty of replayability. At this price nobody can lose!!
Thanks all for the response especially @Not_Soos it's very refreshing to read such positive comments towards a gaming series. I really do appreciate the time you took to respond with your comments and perspective. I also believe a forum discussion would be welcomed by most on this subject? Happy gaming right back at ya!!
It's a pass for me.. why release something that's inherently broken? The game looks great, but with all the issues they've lost me as a customer. Especially as there are so many other great games on the switch.. why would I waste my time on this?
catch 22, we all have several devices that allow netflix.. do we 'need' another? I'm quite happy for it not to arrive, but can see the benefits of having one device that allows media streaming on top of it's primary use.
Another one for the potential list and it looks great, but a few more modern looking games wouldn't hurt?
Pixel art graphics have their place and there are some excellent games on switch already, but something alittle more detailed like octopath wouldn't hurt?
@Damo true, but I think you'll find that almost everybody purchased additional storage for the other rather large and heavier consoles..
To give nintendo some defence here and it must be tricky as hell to balance cost vs power consumption vs viable user experience? and in truth SD is dirt cheap
@sligeach_eire why not buy the switch version? We all know the reason you've been more cheery these least few days is because you now secretly own a switch 😂

Awesome, a great blast from the past!

Re: This Switch Dongle Can Replace Your Dock And Includes An Ethernet Port
@Retroman78 chers for the link, but there are only 3 UK reviews and the 2nd smells of a fake review..
'Fast delivery and great quality! Bought this adapter for my boyfriend.With its easy connection and smooth output, he enjoyed the game more!'
I'm not sure how this adaptor will make anybody enjoy a game more?
The concept is great and needed for those who travel, but I'd prefer something official and not a potentially bricked switch
Re: Haunted Dungeons: Hyakki Castle Brings Real-Time Dungeon Crawling To Switch This Month
I just don't see this being any good.. poor animation, basic gameplay, quirky, but overall looks to be heading for 3/10.
Re: Random: Zelda Fan Spends 484 Hours Completing Every Game In The Series To 100%
Congrats.. does this also exclude the Philips CD-i Zelda's? I couldn't see them listed?
Scrap that.. cdi = non-canon, therefore not even in the mix..😂

Re: Hollow Knight: Gods & Glory Arrives On Switch August 23rd
@sandman89 you could use a rancid egg instead of going to kill the shade?
Re: Hollow Knight: Gods & Glory Arrives On Switch August 23rd
@SBandy awww my sense of humour radar must be on the blink - sorry!!
Re: Hollow Knight: Gods & Glory Arrives On Switch August 23rd
@SBandy I agree you won't be paying for it. as it is free

Ben Heck who....? This is rediciously awesome!!
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Online FAQ - Everything We Know So Far
Hey @foxyglen you mention under the cloud save section....
'you'll be able to upload all of your saves directly to the cloud'
but Nintendo state 'Please note: not compatible with all software.' on their FAQs?
Is that Nintendo just being cautious? Or did you get carried way? 😁

Awesome sauce..
Re: Weirdness: Watch In Horror As A Game Boy Gets Tortured In The Name Of Music
Wtf.. a chocolate tea pot is of more use to the world.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Switch's Release Date Could Be As Early As November This Year
It will be December, the big Christmas / holiday release!?!?
Re: Review: Streets Of Red - Devil's Dare Deluxe (Switch eShop)
A wonderfully fun game; with lots of Easter eggs and nods to yesteryear. Fluid gameplay, moves and combat for all.. with plenty of replayability. At this price nobody can lose!!
Re: Sega Reveals Shenmue 1 & 2 Remaster, But It's Skipping Switch
Give it another six months and it will be annouced for switch.
Re: Sega Teases "Huge Announcement" To Be Revealed Tomorrow
A Sonic AR mobile game.. where you collect coins and free cute animals around the streets of the world.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Lavishes Praise On Outlast 2 Switch Port
Looks very good. I've never had the pleasure, but will add this to the ever increasing game list.
Re: Leaked Labo Toy-Con Concepts Suggest Nintendo is Serious About Cardboard
It finally looks like Alex is taking his videos seriously.. dare I say he may have invested in acting lessons? Bravo I shall invest in all 8 new kits😁
Re: Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Leaps On To The Switch eShop Next Week
Looks interesting, I'd like to see a couple of reviews before taking the plunge.
Re: Video: Get Hyped For Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition On Switch With This New Trailer
Looks good and we might be able to spend our Nintendo gold coins to get a discount (if I read correctly)?
Re: Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition Arrives On Switch This May
I just can't get passed the awful character animation.. looks like a mobile app.. defo a pass for me and return to stardew valley.
Re: Switch Surpasses Wii U Lifetime Sales in UK, But Its Dominance Isn't As Strong As Elsewhere
Question.. what percentage of the total switch uk allocation is 700k? If the UK has only been allocated 700k units... then we did well 😁
if 3m units were available, then yes we need to up our game!!
It doesn't help with Xbox one s being available for next to nothing... for example.
https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xbox-one-1tb-white-console-with-fifa-17-135-instore-tesco-rainham-2888925
In truth and either way the games sell the console and so far Nintendo are doing a sterling job with the switch.
Re: Review: The Longest Five Minutes (Switch)
At $£40 I think I'll sit back and wait until it's at a sensible price..

Re: Rumour: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Might Be Spinning Its Way Onto Switch
@carlos82 thank you for confirming.. i guess it's a purchase when discounted or if my kids ever move on from odyssey (hell freezing over)
Re: Rumour: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Might Be Spinning Its Way Onto Switch
Historically I found crash to be the poor mans 3D platformer.. has it improved?
Re: RiME's Developer Has Been "Working Tirelessly" On A New Patch To Fix The Buggy Switch Port
It's a pass for me.. why release something that's inherently broken? The game looks great, but with all the issues they've lost me as a customer. Especially as there are so many other great games on the switch.. why would I waste my time on this?
Re: Rumour: Get That Pinch Of Salt Ready, Apparently Microsoft Is Preparing To Buy Electronic Arts
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I agree.. i also don't see this happening.
Why would M$ waste their money reserves? for what...? lootboxes / micro transactions and mostly mediocre games? naaaa this would be bad business.
Re: Dead Cells Is Coming to the Switch Later This Year
Looks pretty good, this should make the purchase list along with blasphemous.
Re: Sorry Netflix Fans, You Won't Be Watching Stranger Things On Your Switch Anytime Soon
catch 22, we all have several devices that allow netflix.. do we 'need' another? I'm quite happy for it not to arrive, but can see the benefits of having one device that allows media streaming on top of it's primary use.
Re: Action-Adventure Platformer The Forbidden Arts Will Set the Switch Alight Next Year
I know it's very early, but this holds zero interest for me.
Re: Bayonetta 3 is In Development and is a Switch Exclusive
Keep the good times coming!! This is an excellent exclusive and a day one purchase for all. 😁
Re: Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 Are Arriving on Switch in February
Day one for me, but no need to rush them out of the door.. ensure 720p 60fps in handheld mode please!!!
Re: BadLand Games to Donate 75% Of Its Axiom Verge Profits to Healthcare for Tom Happ's Son

Re: OJO, The 'World's First' Switch Micro-Projector, Launches Its Indiegogo Campaign
480p? 200L? other specs?.. agreed with @JHDK it's a pass.
Re: Action RPG Moonlighter Has Been Confirmed for Switch
@setezerocinco agreed it does look great (the same for cave story+ and golf story).
Re: Action RPG Moonlighter Has Been Confirmed for Switch
Another one for the potential list and it looks great, but a few more modern looking games wouldn't hurt?
Pixel art graphics have their place and there are some excellent games on switch already, but something alittle more detailed like octopath wouldn't hurt?
Re: Downloading WWE 2K18 Requires 32GB Of MicroSD Storage Space
@Damo true, but I think you'll find that almost everybody purchased additional storage for the other rather large and heavier consoles..
To give nintendo some defence here and it must be tricky as hell to balance cost vs power consumption vs viable user experience?
and in truth SD is dirt cheap
Re: Downloading WWE 2K18 Requires 32GB Of MicroSD Storage Space
I'll pass on the game, but the required storage size is the same for any game on any other console.. nobody should be upset by this!?!?
Re: Battle Princess Madelyn Gets an Awesome Teaser Trailer
A day one purchase!! Looks awesome..
@sligeach_eire why not buy the switch version? We all know the reason you've been more cheery these least few days is because you now secretly own a switch 😂
