$72 will probably be around £69.99 over here (assuming similar discount)? That really isn't bad if you look at cost per game. The Cloud thing is obviously the issue here though. A lot of money when you don't know how it will run or if you will even like the games or not.

I just copy and pasted the image into Word. I don't actually want it but somehow it felt like the right thing to do.

If you would like a copy please send me a cheque for $26,000 and I will email it over. I'll even chop down a few trees and murder a couple of dolphins for you in order to recreate the NFT environmental impact. Bargain.

Decroocklouff is my boy!

Finally we can answer the age old question of who would win in a fight between the immortal Superman and the stoner Shaggy from Scooby Doo.

Who asked for this?

I thought this whole thing would be an absolute mess but actually they are clearly taking it really seriously. Brilliant job all round with the casting so far.

Game Pass Ultimate is £11 a month so is almost four times more expensive than this. If you are counting a special offer then you are not comparing apples with apples. Less than £3 a month is fine.

@Luneth How can that work though when you unlock items in the DLC that decorate your own island? Surely they can all disappear as they will hardwired into your game at that point?

Anyway the whole service is just 35 quid so I'm happy to keep paying that.

@Stocksy Prices now confirmed and it is only 35 quid for the whole year. 35 quid for NES, SNES, N64 and Mega Drive games, new games like Tetris 99 and Bomberman and a huge Animal Crossing DLC worth £22.50. That is less than £3 a month. How is that expensive?

I just watched the video. It is £35 a year for everything.

That's pretty damn reasonable.

I'm confused. Those are the current prices for the basic service. So are you saying the expansion is basically free for the first year?

@Stocksy You don't know that, for all you know once you download the update it's yours forever even if you cancel at the end of year. Also if this sets a precedent for future DLC for other games to be included on the service then it could prove to be great value. Let's wait until we actually know everything that is included.

So that means the online expansion is £45. So it costs £27 more than the basic online and includes £22.50 worth of DLC. So the remaining N64 and Mega Drive games are effectively £4.50 extra. Sounds pretty good if you split it out that way.

Could they not at least be holding a pick axe or something? Or standing on some blocks? I mean I'll buy them because I own them all but these are instantly my least favourite of the entire amiibo range.

@Old-Red Legally they don't have to honour a mistake but if only a few people managed to take advantage they will hopefully honour it for a bit of good publicity. It's not as if they accidentally charged zero for it or something.

When you put it in your basket it pops back up to £49.99.

Move along, nothing to see here.

@MarioLinkSamus In the UK a 'punt' is a bet so 'worth a punt' means 'worth a gamble'. In America you punt the ball away from you which is a negative thing as you are getting rid of something.

If anyone is thinking of giving Immortals Fenyx Rising a go I just ordered it off ebay from Boss Games for £34 using the current voucher offer. I was going to hold off but that was an amazing price.

I played the demo for that Kingdom Hearts rhythm game. Couldn't get my head around it as it was just too hard to tell when you were meant to hit the notes. It all got a bit confusing but the music is undeniably great and it certainly has charm. One to watch for when it's on cheap.

Ordered this with Boss Deals on ebay for less than 40 quid. Never played this style of game though so shall eagerly be awaiting the demo.

@StuTwo Every level was beatable but there was a bug in one where you could not pick up the collectible once it spawned. Unfortunately this meant that you could never access the final bonus level. As a kid I used to fully complete the game with all collectibles before i permitted myself to enter the cheat code that unlocked the bonus level.

Really enjoyable game but rough around the edges. Great ideas, but so-so execution. Still, I loved it.

That's pretty much how I get if I manage to win a game of Smash too.

If you wanted to buy all three it would be cheaper than the article says as you would obviously buy a larger cheaper currency pack and not 1000 at a time. Still a rip off of course but let's at least get the facts right.

Go go go!

You have to believe there will be a Switch version if it is at all possible. I would imagine that they are just concentrating on the other versions first before seeing if a port will be feasible. N Sane Trilogy sold so well they would be crazy to ignore Switch.

I love Queen, but I suck at Sing Star at the best of times. Me trying to copy Freddie Mercury would be a disaster for all involved.

7? Wasn't expecting that. Great, I can pretend I'm buying this for the 'gameplay' then.

That is all kinds of wonderful

I am awaiting the postman as we speak

I've taken a punt on this. Been burned by Kickstarter before but it seems that I never learn.

@AlexOlney Now if you could just publish a link as to where you can actually buy one...

Looking at the photos I reckon the screen rotates so that the level moves right to left with Mario staying roughly where he is. That is really cool indeed.

Oh no, I'm going to have to buy this aren't I? No one tell my wife.

CrossCode is in danger of going beneath people's radar. It is one of the highest rated games of the last year and shouldn't be missed. Great price too.

@fafonio I would say that game is fairly fondly remembered. I would love to play it again come to think of it.

Btw did you see this yesterday:

The Developers are in the comments section talking abut the game.

@Ladasta Wow a lot of people here misunderstanding you buddy. I think it has always been handheld games like the Pokemon titles on DS which have managed it before. And not very many of them.

An open world Cyberpunk RPG you say? Yes I think I heard something about that coming up on other consoles...

Pokemon Snap 3

I reckon it will be eight different fighters, one for each skin.

Failing that - HELIX BABY!!!

@VegasToad 3rd best? Switch sales have wiped the floor with Xbox despite being released years later!

I actually really enjoyed Waterworld as a kid. Never understood the vitriol behind it.

This looks absolutely perfect. Cannot wait!

@JoeM103 Enjoy pal! The technology works perfectly and you certainly feel it in your joints the next day so it must be doing some good.

@JoeM103 Add it to your wishlist in the UK Nintendo Store and they will email you shortly before they get restocked (when I got mine the email was about ten minutes before the website was updated).

"It's safe to say you've probably already played Borderlands in some form" - Nope.

The idea of a "loot shooter" really puts me off, just sounds horribly grindy. Glad to hear it is a good port though so perhaps I'll give them a go. Are they fun to play through if you are just looking to complete the story and do not care about collecting thousands of guns?

Yours for just 2,800,000 bells

Never mind this, where is my Mickey Mania sequel? That game was brilliant.

Wow that's unexpected. Is this because Switch owners have been starved for new releases or because the game really is loved that much? Either way it is an amazing result.

@antdickens Cool thanks, looking forward to your review!

Interested to see the review for Bug Fables so might pick that up if it's any good. Otherwise where has Bioshock gone?

Edit: OK good it has been added now. Will wait to see how the port is and assuming all is well that is a must buy for me.

I want to go to there.

The park isn't huge but hopefully they can use this as a stepping stone to a fully-fledged DisneyWorld style park.

@FragRed There were reports that the Japanese government were considering subsidising people's flights to Japan once the Covid crisis is over to try and recoup some tourism income, so you should keep an eye on that. I spent a couple of months there in my youth and it is the most wonderful country on Earth.
