@Duncanballs Nintendoooooomed! Too much stock, can't be doing well, etc etc...

Freaking Nintendo, man...

I haven't seen Gex like this since taco night at James Earl Jones' house.

Oh dear Lord... xDDDDDDDDDD

@Flangela *PAWsibly, please. ^_^

Beautiful. What a fantastic console the 3DS has turned out to be!

"Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?"

Yes.

@NinChocolate only difference being Face Raiders 3D was preloaded on all Nintendo consoles and you didn't pay anything for it. You even got all those extra cards! Crazy from a 2025 Nintendo perspective, right?

@JohnnyMind nothing to do with it being cheap or expensive. Everything to do with this being a semi-advanced manual of sorts that will cost you extra on top of a console that already has multiple ways of charging you for using its services - not considering the base price of the console itself.

• Pay 80USD for a game.
• Pay extra for Nintendo Online.
• Pay extra if you want the expansion pack for NOnline as well.
• Pay extra if you want a very specific SD card for additional storage.
• Pay extra if you have a Switch 1 Base Game that's getting a measly Switch 2 upgrade that should absolutely be free for all owners of said game.

Yeah, that's a no from me. I'll stick to the Switch 1 for the considerable future. Not to mention I still have a huge backlog to go through.

If you're reading this comment, please do yourself a favor and look up Dunkey's video on Gex from 4 years ago. Trust me, you owe this gem to yourself!

Another classic Nintendo move.

Not sure about listing Sly 2: Band of Thieves as a sequel to a classic 3D "platformer". At the same time, though, I do not have a strong argument against it.

Some are gonna say it's an action-adventure game with a focus on stealth. But you also cannot ignore the gameplay elements that are typical for platformers that came around the same time.

@N64-ROX

As someone who tested this game several months ago - on PC, however - I can confirm the game has stunning graphics and the occasional vistas for you to stop and look at. That being said, the world is indeed empty, even though the story tries to explain why that's the case.

I'm such a huge fan of the series and I am now playing DQVII, after which the only other game that I will need to finish is DQIX, but man... I never understood the universal praise that the series' music gets.

Do the DQ games have nice music? Sure, and it's orchestral in the later sequels, too. But every single DQ game I have played also suffers from repetitive music and 5-6 themes tops that go on and on and on without ever making room for new, "fresh" tracks. Even DQXI suffers from this same issue!

@DennisNOR "but then you are the problem, not Nintendo" is the type of argumentation that lets Nintendo basically get away with everything nowadays, not to mention the fact they still have a relatively strong "army" of fans who fail to realize that Nintendo is slowly but surely raising more and more eyebrows with its recent "evil corporation" approach.

Not to mention you are paying for membership that lets you play games older than 2 decades, games you can nowadays play for free on many of their older systems.

But sure, keep justifying Nintendo dude. Nobody can take that away from you.

@reporterdavid Four puny, miserable maps/boards.

60EUR for a decade old game. Not to mention you need to buy an Amiibo figure separately to unlock a feature that's considered basic in many other games. The Nintendo Way!

Using a mild word like "misstep" to describe an absolutely scummy move from Nintendo and not including the price tag in the cons for what is essentially a decade old game is a serious MISSTEP on NL's part.

Welp, turns out I wasn't wrong to sell Super Mario Party as it was utterly disappointing. Looking forward to this one, hoping Nintendo keeps it alive after release!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Didn't expect anything less from this modern scummy Nintendo.

Just finished it. A solid 7, 7.5 tops. Nowhere near 9, though.

Mostly forgettable dungeons, very few catchy tunes and ridiculous dance power-ups (compared to the previous two entries that are nothing short of stellar). Not to mention the bosses are ridiculously easy. The animation is really smooth, though, and the art style is amazing. The humor is also spot on most of the time.

Would say the only entry that I personally find worse is Risky's Revenge.

New sale, same old "33% off 4-year-old Nintendo games" offers.

Let me guess... Almost 4-year-old Nintendo games will get the 33% off treatment for the 4th time in a row.

Meanwhile, Nintendo porting most popular Wii U games that are 3+ years old to the Switch, charging 49.99+GBP, and receiving universal acclaim.

This aside, EA keeps giving its FIFA series the trash treatment you'd kinda expect. They do not seem to learn, but it also seems like fans keep giving money for these reskins. A vicious circle.

Do you play ranked games only against other Switch players, or is it cross-platform?

Super Mario Party in top 10 and not a single update / DLC for it.

45 minutes in, no bugs so far and no slowdowns. The sword combat is very average though, and hits do not give this satisfactory feeling that other, more polished games would. It's like the sword simply goes through invisible enemies.The humor, meanwhile, is very funny.

Can't shake off the feeling this game will flop terribly in terms of sales. A shame, really, as I accidentally discovered that I had its homepage - the one that doesn't exist any longer - bookmarked 2 years ago when apparently I had somehow come across this title.

I realized that I first became interested then and I did preorder it 2 days ago, once I watched all the trailers and a gameplay video on YouTube.

Have been enjoying this game so far, even though it's really difficult even when playing on "normal". Love it!

You know what it is, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow. <3

BotW is listed as a Switch exclusive? Lol ok.

@AcridSkull thanks.

Can someone confirm the discount on Tumblestone? It still shows as 11.99 pounds on my Switch.

"On the North American site."
ok

Hoping for a pugtastic platforming experience.

A terrible week in terms of special offers.

@gamerchick_22

This.

Why not include both SM3DW and Odyssey content, especially if you consider that it's getting a 3DS release several years after the Wii U one, and yet it will probably cost the same as a "regular full-price game"? Nintendo seems to be losing its touch more and more.

@MarcelRguez

Haven't played Paper Jam yet, but I actually found Dream Team Bros to be quite a solid experience.

@cowntsikin I personally find Bowser's Inside Story way better than DTB, honestly.

Probably the worst title I've purchased for my 3DS (yes, even worse than Sticker Star which at least had a great OST). Very, and I mean VERY boring.

Just a small piece of info, guys -

Those who buy the game this first week get some free DLC costumes (ending Sep 14).

To all of you saying that you've not played MK7 ever since you got your hands on MK8, that's nice and all...
But don't forget that not everyone actually owns or can afford a WII U and MK8, too. Hence, it's a real shame that MK7 will probably never see the light of day with DLC.

Ahhh... The more mature one of the two best Zelda games (the other being Ocarina, of course). I have no idea why, but I was never interested in getting the OoT 3D remake... But this... This is something I will surely consider seriously.

Milking money, the Nintendo way.

Sorry, Nintendo, but you won't be getting my money for themes, it's completely absurd.

I just hope they don't tinker with the price in Europe.

60€? Even if I had a Wii U, I would never spend that much money on a game, no matter if it's the latest Mario, Zelda or another famous series... Terrible move, Nintendo, shame on you!

Anyway, I am tempted to finally get Street Fighter IV, a great game at a cheap price, given that there are still people fighting online... Can anyone confirm that the SSF IV online matcher are alive and kicking?

I can't believe people give money for this.
I'm talking big money. :/

"This workaround does show that some gamers — perhaps small in number — are keen for region locking to come to an end."
Perhaps small in number?
sigh
Wrong.

Finally!
I will be waiting for that email, Nintendo.
