I went to the EShop and Pokémon Friends is definitely not a free to play game it's £7.99 and if you want the combo bundle it's £33.99 That's not on my must buy list.
@MovieBuff I am a fan of Donkey Kong as well but I choose to wait for a price reduction. I was pointing out that you'd have to be pretty dedicated to buy at that price even if the price is unnecessarily high.
@WiltonRoots You want more of the vibe and that's fair enough, but keep in mind that the game was previously available for £15 under the selects range on 3DS. I get that you may not have a 3DS, but is £50 really value for money here? That's my perspective.
Absolutely unacceptable, this is why I never buy at launch unless it's a decent price. Only the most dedicated fans with their rose coloured glasses will get it at that price.
Way to expensive, just another Nintendo money grabbing scam. I've played it on the 3DS which was a good game in 3D. The Switch version should be around £25, then I might have considered getting it.
What about the Animal Crossing New Horizons coaster set which features Brewster on them, it was added to the UK store on the 6th of September. If you love Brewster you'll want them.
The only thing I have to say to Nintendo is "BRING BACK REGGIE" . I think Bowser is boring and he doesn't have a good sense of humour or enthusiasm like Reggie. I really miss those entertaining Direct announcements with Reggie.
I haven't read all the comments but no one seems to be mentioning how you have to keep your phone plugged in and keep your phone on your mattress which in my case really roasted my phone not to mention the heat it generated made me concerned it was going to catch my mattress on fire. I finally put it on my night stand but it still got way to hot. I deleted it and unless they can stop it roasting my phone I won't be reinstalling it.
@zZEPHYROUSs I totally agree, I am all for replacing batteries and components easily. Just hope the companies who make these products think the same way.
That is a good idea but buying a compatible battery is not ideal as they are all poor quality so the device company would need to offer replacement batteries and you can guarantee they will hype the price....do I need to say more.
This will be worth waiting for, Capcom is a great studio, after all look what they gave us not only for 3DS but Switch too, yes MONSTER HUNTER possibly one of the greatest games ever.
I can understand Nintendo wanting to protect new games such as Tears of the Kingdom but games such as the GameCube animal crossing or many GameCube games which you CANNOT get anywhere not even from Nintendo then I don't see a problem as no one is missing out on getting money for those games. If Nintendo bought a GameCube emulator to switch there wouldn't be this problem.
Cloud gaming is a joke, here in the UK broadband is atrocious. I live in a rural area and sometimes I can't even access my emails. Cloud gaming is totally out.
I actually lost interest in this game after playing the demo. I had been playing Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana which is a beautiful enjoyable game so maybe I had to high expectations for Harvestella.
As Nintendo is closing down the 3DS eshop why on earth don't they have a huge sale on, it would probably bring in a lot of revenue for them, I mean it's not going to get them anything as from March next year, so what's it to them to do a sale of every game.
Actually the games I want to play won't be out until 2023 so it's looking pretty boring. I would have liked Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak but not at that price, so will be waiting for a sale at some point. Nintendo in my opinion has gone down hill fast since Iwata died, there's no innovation anymore.
Apple is certainly a rotten one in the basket along with any company which exploits young people to buy micro transactions. Any app game that has micro-transactions are fleecing the younger generation. I would like to see all micro-transactions banned. I'd rather pay a few pounds for an app which contained everything unlockable in the app.
I am looking forwards to Sunbreak. I do hope they release a physical version like they did with Iceborn which was complete with World. It was a reasonable price so I'm hoping it will be the same.
I'm hoping they will give us The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker remastered, we've waited long enough. Also I'm hoping they mention Animal crossing, even if it's an expansion pack. It would be something.
I was going to try out Colours Live but unfortunately the physical release has been delayed in the UK it should have been released on Friday 17th. I'm surprised Nintendo Life haven't reported on this.
I'm not buying Skyward sword as yet, it's far to pricey for an old Wii game. What I will be getting in September is ColorsLive, it looks like an awesome drawing application.
I'm not planning on getting the OLED Switch for 2 reasons, 1 The screen burn-in, which it definitely will do if you are a serious hand held gamer and play for a long time. 2 The degrading blue issue where the screen will have a green tint after a few years. I have experienced this on a PS Vita, which by the way was and still is a great hand held. I prefer to stick with my original switch.

Re: Space Base-Building Astroneer Is Finally Coming To Switch
Interesting game, the only one worth having from the Indie World games.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Switch Game Of 2021 So Far?
The top game has to be Monster Hunter Rise. It's amazing. I've spent hours playing. Capcom knows just what it takes to make a truly great game
Re: Monster Hunter Rise To Add Okami-Themed Content In 'Capcom Collab 2'
I am loving Monster Hunter Rise so this will add to the enjoyment. Capcom is my number one favourite game company right now.
Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Settles For Second After A 74% Drop In Weekly Sales

Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Worried About Screen Burn-In With Switch OLED?
I'm not planning on getting the OLED Switch for 2 reasons, 1 The screen burn-in, which it definitely will do if you are a serious hand held gamer and play for a long time. 2 The degrading blue issue where the screen will have a green tint after a few years. I have experienced this on a PS Vita, which by the way was and still is a great hand held. I prefer to stick with my original switch.
