This game has virtually paid for itself now. Cost me £9 and I think the dlc was like £1.59 after the free period ended, so this is already over £6 in free DLC. Next 2 characters I and any other early adopters will have made money,
Now THAT is how you treat early adopters well!
EDIT £1.79 so even better than I though. It's £7.16 of free DLC so far.
It cost me a fortune getting all of these damn things. Sad part is I traded some in to fund my Switch as none of the articles prior to release said they gave you rare as unicorn poop gear.
All showed you getting meat or fish or other crap.
I hope this comes to fruition, I own both on Wii U but I never play them as you need that god awful gamepad on with charge EVEN IF YOU'RE USING A PRO CONTROLLER 😡😡😡
I actually buried my gamepad in a cupboard somewhere, went to play Bayo, loaded it up with my Pro in hand and it made me find, charge, turn on and then use the gamepad to confirm I wanted to use the Pro.
So imagine my surprise when the next day it still insisted I have the gamepad on to use the Pro.
Serious question, did this even launch in the U.K?
I'm as close to 30 as you can get, 2 weeks away and I had a gameboy at launch when I was like 4, got it for xmas that year. But I cannot even remember hearing about the Vb until I was like 16 when I heard how it was Nintendo's biggest failure.
I never saw it advertised here, no one ever spoke of it, leaflets in games from Nintendo didn't even advertise its existence.
So did it even launch outside of Japan and America?
@RedMageLanakyn exactly the same bud, I had no interest until E3. I still dislike Donk, makes no sense to me, looks very bad too as it looks like Mario is in a GTA game, just not a fan at all. Mario is one of the last franchises that needs realism.
And Game Theory TRIED to have it make sense. MatPat claims DK's Banana's cause gigantism as all the bosses in DK that steal his stash become giant so therefore the humans in Donk are giant as they eat Banana's too.
I have 2 ordered, strongly considering selling one. I had to pay a fortune to get the Zelda Amiibo after BOTW launch, I then couldn't afford to buy the Farpoint VR gun because of that and now the Farpoint VR gun costs a bloody fortune.
So I'm thinking selling the other might allow me to get the damn Farpoint gun.
I genuinely don't know anyone who still plays this. I know it still gets millions a day, I just don't know anyone who started at launch who still plays.
@Mii_duck game.co.uk have them but only as bundles.
It's weird, at launch they were everywhere in the U.K, I never saw them out of stock on Shopto, Amazon, game etc... For more than 2-3 days. But since E3, booooooooooom, everywhere is struggling to stock them.
@PanurgeJr I know, I remember the day I learned the world doesn't revolve around me, oh, no, wait, I never had to learn that lesson ever as it's just common bloody sense 😹
@WiltonRoots main reason I say EIRE is because he's often harping on about not understanding why it exists.
Honestly, I've been coming here for years and I finally created an account because I was so smegging sick of him I wanted to hit ignore.
So I called him out for his hypocrisy over loving Wii U ports (Check the Darksiders review, he's like the 3rd comment praising it and the sequel. Both of which are ports) but hating ports on Switch then ignored him 😹
@PanurgeJr Jose Otero of IGN puts it best I find, this was in an NVC podcast.
"Not every game is made for you, as shocking as that is, not every game is for you.
Don't want to pay for MK8 again, newsflash, you don't have too, it's for those who missed it or want to double dip, not everything Nintendo does is for you."
For those who want this on Switch I suggest going to there facebook or twitter and posting you want it, best damn way to get something is to show them the legions who'd support it.
I would kill to get this on Switch, but I don't want JUST sega games, my Dreamcast library was mainly fighters, I'd need Capcom and SNK to sign up to put things like Street Figher 3, Marvel VS Capcom 1 and 2, Capcom VS SNK 1 and 2 etc...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE plus it's a port of old hardware so who wants it on Switch? Especially you what with how much you hate ports... Minus anything ported to Wii U as those for whatever reason are ok.
@Ralek85 I never said you did. You said it was a remake which I didn't think it was. 8bit then corrected me so I was apologising to you. Because I never thought it was the same game but clearly it is.

Re: First Impressions: Running Scared from Sonic Forces
I've never liked a 3D Sonic, beat a few but they were all bad, even the DC Duo.
Sonic, Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles, Advance 1, Advance 2 and Advance 3 are about it for me with good Sonic games.
Re: Random: Internet Reacts Badly To The New Snake Pass Menu Icon
Yeah it looks stupid but so do others games, I'm just so glad I bought the U.K Zelda, the U.S one looks awful IMO.

I really reckon this is what Retro is working on, they're literally known for bringing back dead Nintendo franchises.

Re: Guide: All The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild amiibo Unlocks
@Joeynator3000 huh, back in the old days of this site it had an auto star system for swearing.
I know because I tested and helped design it.
Looks like becoming NintendoLife made them ditch it for some reason.

Just saying
That said after I found footage on Youtube, it's a hard pass. Looks shocking, typical iOS crap
Re: Random: Did PlatinumGames Just Tease Bayonetta For Switch?
@gloom yup. And Nintendoland was a surprise hit with my mates, even got my best buds non gamer fiance into games, she loved Luigi's Mansion.
They need to do a Pac Man VS and bring those amazing multiplayer games back using 2 Switches and adding in a whole bunch of new levels.
Re: Random: Did PlatinumGames Just Tease Bayonetta For Switch?
@gloom yup, good riddance to yesterdays garbage.
Easily one of the worst designs in console gaming.
Even though it had some truly great games, things like that hurt the system so badly.
Re: Early Super Nintendo Rayman Prototype Released
@loyalroyal1989 yup this is definitely one of the better character redesigns in gaming.
Had Rayman looked like that in Origins and Legends 🤢🤢🤢

Re: Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima's Approval Rating Grows 10 Percent

Re: Review: GoNNER (Switch eShop)
@Mishima get over it, it's business not personal. Nintendo cares not about you or I.
As a gamer if you like the look of a game you buy it.

Re: Nintendo Unveils the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom for Japan
Shame they didn't just make it 26 games, few of these I'd quite like to play and the only real loss is Vania which I own on many systems.
I own 18 out of the 21 with the U.K system, literally buying to finally get to play FFVI and SF2.
Starwing is easily one of my favourite games so to finally get the sequel, even if it has the wrong name, is great.
Re: Star Fox 2 Will Finally Be Released Thanks To Super NES Classic Edition
@Shiryu go on then, upload it too, blind runs are very popular.
Re: Original Journey To Bring Pencil Art Shooting to the Switch eShop
Love these games but not buying, everything looks so similar I'm struggling to follow the ship.
My eyesight is really bad so things like this can kill a game for me.
Even gameboy games made it easier to see what was going on as the ship wasn't the same colour as the background.
Re: Star Fox 2 Will Finally Be Released Thanks to Super NES Classic Edition
I said ages ago watch them release Starfox 2 on the SNES mini, wish I put a bet on it 😹
Re: Nintendo Shows Off the New Armour in Zelda: Breath of the Wild's The Master Trials DLC

I just use the armour guards from Nintendo, works a treat for me and I have massive hands.
Re: You Can Design a Character for Flipping Death on Nintendo Switch
Don't see me getting this, didn't enjoy the first when it was free on PSPlus.
Cool idea to do this, but it worries me that they can't come up with a great baddie to invest you in to playing.
Like what happened with Borderlands and that awful Commandant Steele before they hit it out the park with Handsome Jack.
Re: Nintendo Apologizes for Switch Shortages, Promises an Increase in Production
@Mii_duck game.co.uk have them but only as bundles.

Re: Review: Cave Story+ (Switch)
@Ralek85 @8-Bit_Zorldo see I played the original and BM0 and I never once thought they were the same game, clearly wrong though, so I apologise.
@electrolite77 $30 is still cheaper than £30 though, not by much thanks to Brexit and May, but at least I got it yesterday for slightly cheaper.
