Why are all you people feeding @SLIGEACH_EIRE and his negativity. The guy is notorious in these parts for being absolutely venomous toward Nintendo's current business model.
I love amiibo! I have every single one released, including gold mega man which I imported from the States and a custom Ganda Kris shadow Mario!
I honestly don't understand people's hate towards them! If you don't like the concept, you don't have to buy them!
To me, they're just a great little collectible, with the added benefit of a few little gimmicks built in! I think the way they're utilised on BoTw is brilliant. The gear you get from them is completely nostalgic and Epona is a Legendary horse!
I was so hyped for this after that direct, then that Splatoon trailer completely made me forget about ARMS! Just Wow. I'm the words of Alex Olney, Holy Biscuits!
Played at an event and it was a lot of fun! Maybe a demo would be a viable option to garner interest. I just hope it has the legs to go the distance.....
@Crono1973 haha! Yeah, the Switch just makes more sense though! 2 Controllers ready to go! All fits in 1 box! And many thanks, currently attempting to finish shrines on BoTw before the little monkey gets here. 4 to go...
You tell my 38 week pregnant partner that she won't be able to play Mario Kart at the hospital..... Good consumer or not, this release is perfectly timed for me @Crono1973
I've put 250 hours with the misses on the Wii U version. Still play a couple of races a day even now! But will buy the Switch version, day 1. I'm kinda optimistic that we will see more DLC unveiled at E3....
Have begrudgingly pre ordered from Amazon so will pay £40 for this. The misses and I have played over 250 hours of MK8, all DLC purchased, and whilst a couple of new cups at launch would have been nice, we can wait for the inevitable Switch DLC!
So MK8 Deluxe. What are the chances of new tracks as future DLC? I feel like they probably had something ready for Wii U other than what they released....
That explains it. Had a conversation with a colleague who had the Wii U version who says they haven't noticed any improvements. Whereas, for me, playing on my Switch, the difference is staggering. Cool story bro...
@faint I hope the DLC is the story of 10,000 years ago mentioned in the game. Would make so much sense to run it on this engine and art direction as opposed to using it for a different game
Finished the main story of BoTw last night, amazing by the way! And I took my time, 70 hours all memories found and divine beasts tamed! And as much as there's still plenty to do, I do feel the need for some more Nintendo in my life right now!!!
Well done @AlexOlney ! The hazards of playing Pokémon Go video made me lol so hard.
And that's such a cool story. Very similar to my own except that obviously my email wasn't quite as eloquent ergo I don't work for Nintendolife....
How funny! When I contacted Amazon they replied that it was up to Nintendo to fix this issue and there was very little that they could do. Nintendo as of yet haven't replied to me. Luckily I got a pro controller so just use that for BoTw anyway
Honestly think it would have been nice for Nintendo to give a discount to Wii U owners who have purchased this game + the DLC. That way, even if people went physical, there would still be the DLC to show Nintendo that this particular user does own the game! Never gonna happen but hey, 1 day Nintendo will catch up
Saw this earlier when perusing the myNintendo website. If I recall they initially said myNintendo would really come into its own with mobile and Switch, back when it was NX

Re: Here's How Much Space ARMS Will Take Up On Your Switch
Makes sense! I used it for MK8DX, Didn't even think about using it for ARMS. 🤦♂️@Grandpa_Pixel
Re: Here's How Much Space ARMS Will Take Up On Your Switch
Fair enough! Was that some kind of generic £5 off voucher or some personal credit you had to use? @Grandpa_Pixel
Re: Here's How Much Space ARMS Will Take Up On Your Switch
@Curlynob ah cool! Cheers for the heads up!
Re: Here's How Much Space ARMS Will Take Up On Your Switch
Where have you found it at that price? Cheapest I've come across is £41 from base.com @Grandpa_Pixel
Re: Video: Let's Discover the Very Best in Sideways Joy-Con Grips
I think I'll wait until Nintendo make an official product. That way we'll get -
Ergonomic design ✅
Quality build ✅
Extortionate price ✅
In a seriousness, I'm in no need for anything like this until VC comes along so I'll probably hold off
Re: Pokémon GO is Reportedly Targeting 'Cheaters' By Hiding Rare Pocket Monsters
Ash Ketchup!!! Brilliant. Literally lol'd at that

No Demo on the UK Eshop yet! Oh well, back to Thumper!
Re: New Splatoon 2 Switch Accessories And Hardware Bundle Announced
Called the Neon Green and Purple Joy Cons a while back, that pro controller though, that's a surprise! Glad I only purchased the one at launch now
Re: Video: Here’s the First Look at Splatoon 2’s Single Player Mode
@WiltonRoots that was my favourite boss fight in a long time! Can't wait for this game to drop

I just hope it has the legs to go the distance.....
Re: The Official Standalone Switch Dock Arrives In Europe Next Month
If this is £30 ( I know it won't be) I'd bite, just for the bants! Anymore and no chance!
Re: Highly Regarded Game Composer, and Metroid Fan, is Working at Retro Studios
Remember before Federation Forces came out, the developer said that game was fleshing out the Metroid universe ready for the next instalment....
Re: Video: Listen Up, We've Reviewed LucidSound's LS20 Gaming Headset
@SLIGEACH_EIRE but for what games? The Wii U didn't offer any need for a headset! In fairness, I just used this, did a decent job

Re: Thumper Bringing Rhythm and Violence To Switch eShop On 18th May
This game is so addictive! Recently played on a friends PC and held off getting it for PS4, hoping for a Switch version! Happy days!
Re: Rainway App Promises 60fps Streaming Of PC Games To Consoles Like The Nintendo Switch
This will NEVER see the light of day on Switch. Absolutely no way Nintendo will pass this through QC
Re: The Legend of Zelda Custom Chess Set Now Available
@Kid_Sickarus ah yeah, that makes sense!!!
Re: The Legend of Zelda Custom Chess Set Now Available
Wtf is the queen on the villain side?
Re: Nintendo Unveils Starfish Mainstage Arena for Splatoon 2
Brilliant!
It's a wonder that all the ink spray doesn't cause the equipment to short circuit, but we suppose they've got it all figured out.
Not sure if this is incredibly lazy or inspired!

Well that is delightful
Re: Random: This Nintendo Switch Case Looks Like It Could Withstand Pretty Much Anything
I honestly regret buying my Hori case now
Re: NES Mini Also Discontinued in Australia
@manu0 I honestly don't. Just expressing my opinion on the matter
Re: NES Mini Also Discontinued in Australia
Makes sense. Demand for Switch is huge! Use all available assets to produce Switches and make sure demand is met.
Re: Video: Updated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Trailer Aims for Top Gear
Have begrudgingly pre ordered from Amazon so will pay £40 for this. The misses and I have played over 250 hours of MK8, all DLC purchased, and whilst a couple of new cups at launch would have been nice, we can wait for the inevitable Switch DLC!
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed For 12th April - Focused on Splatoon 2, ARMS and More
VC news and a teaser trailer for MK8 Deluxe DLC and I will be happy

@liljmoore stasis-ing a boulder and climbing on is still my favourite way to travel! Found the Spring of Power that way 😂
Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch Retail Games of 2016 - Spring Edition
So MK8 Deluxe. What are the chances of new tracks as future DLC? I feel like they probably had something ready for Wii U other than what they released....
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Version 1.1.1 of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to the Test

Re: A New Patch Is Available for Breath of the Wild on Switch
Awesome that Nintendo has addressed these little niggles to deliver a higher quality experience

Re: Site News: Switch It Up With Our Readership Survey
God I miss those club Nintendo surveys 😜
So I did your survey! No stars though 😫
Re: Video: Here's Four Solid Reasons Zelda: Breath of the Wild has the Best Princess Zelda to Date

Re: ARMS Listed For June 23rd Release On Amazon Spain

Re: Video: Nintendo Releases Localised ARMS Character and Weapon Showcases
Played at an event! A lot of fun, and really quite in depth. At the same time, very playable, even a beginner can pick it up and have a blast.
Re: Site News: A Massive Thank You To All Our Viewers On YouTube

Re: Nintendo Confirms LAN Play, 'Renegade Roundup' and More for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: My Nintendo Includes Multiple Fire Emblem Discounts in European Update
Maybe the Switch rewards will be a bit more appealing! Even themes, much like the 3DS gets would be something
