Legitimate question from a friend who loves GC controllers a bit too much xD and now wants these for his Switch:
"Do these NYXI Wizard controllers have motion controls so I can play Switch Sports Golf still?" xD

Doesn't appear so, right? There's no mention in the vid, press release and website that I can see.

Very good!
Was expecting them to use the 2D sprites from Mario Kart 64 though, for the final bit.

Just had a quick play. Nice selection of tracks.
I like that I never played Tour because it means London Loop and Berlin Byways are totally new to me and so I have zero clue which way turn on first playthrough! xD
Merry Mountain is cool, but a very simple track overall and in terms of layout feels too similar to Sky-High Sundae. Aesthetics are nice and Christmassy though.

Is it just me or is the AI more intense in these Booster courses? Their green shell shot accuracy is mental! xD

Not sure why it had to take a near decade but cool to see about the custom items. Should be interesting playing with friends in local multiplayer.
Wonder if next wave they will offer a bunch of the outfits etc for various characters from Tour.

Looks interesting. Shame not available in the UK. But not expecting it to be ground breaking.
I'm perfectly fine with my Skyward Sword joycons and Skull & Co Neo Grip (very comfy)

Gold was my first. Still remember getting it bundled with the lime green Gameboy Color.
I was HOOKED! And the reveal of Kanto being playable ontop of Johto was just mindblowing at the time. Game felt massive!

Let's go! Golf was my favourite Wii Sports game. Fingers crossed it'll be just as fun here.
Hopefully it does release worldwide end of Nov as I have a game night with friends on the 1st weekend of Dec and we always pick up Switch Sports.
If Nintendo can also drop Wave 3 of MK8D and Goldeneye N64 just before my game night too, then we'll be all set! xD

Played 110hrs of the WiiU version at launch back in 2017 as Switch consoles were so scarce. Completed the story there.
When I finally got a Switch 5 months later and BOTW too, only have clocked in about 15hrs sadly.

@frankdoylezw haha, thanks for the sales heads up! I already bought it in another sale about 8 months ago xD
Really nice, chill game

Never going to happen, but i'll randomly spout out "Dreamcast and GC games on NSO please!"
Also Conker's Bad Fur Day! Maybe it's rose tinted glasses, but the multiplayer in that game was awesome. Heist, Deathmatch and War, top tier.
Make a deal with MS, Nintendo! xD

Awkward moment when the voice actor denounces this article...

Nintendo, just release the Switch Sports Golf update and you'll be flying past the UK PS3 sales numbers!

@GoldenSunRM Ahh yes! You're right! Totally forgot I had the N64 app set to NA region only.
I was thinking to myself "this runs way better than the WiiU virtual console version I own too".

My childhood games finally return!
Will definitely be using my NSO N64 controller for this one during game nights with friends... Although could be lethal for my palms
I did quickly boot up MP2 this morning and maybe my eyes are deceiving me but it seems to run faster, like it's at 1.5x speed xD
Either that or I got so used to Mario Party Superstars playing at such a slower pace, with lethargic text boxes etc

Great game. Sunk a good 20hrs into it already.
Unfortunate the stability update is currently Xbox only. Since the big content update, my game has hard crashed 3 times. Didn't happen pre patch.
As I am sure someone will point out though "That's what you get for an early access beta build!" ... I am well aware!

@jowe_gw Sorry I've left you doubting! I'd really like to pick up a physical Switch edition too, this is the only thing holding me back.

Funnily enough only yesterday I did ask the YT channel SwitchUp if they could look into it this for their "All Patched Up" series and they "hearted" my comment. So maybe they can confirm the quality of the game and if fixed in the near future. Fingers crossed.

Stuff like this makes me want to get the game just that bit more, but it's ultimately held back by not knowing if the major bug of your save data being deleted randomly has actually been fixed on Switch, even with supposed patches. Still hearing mixed reports.
Otherwise, I'd be straight on it.

Guess it was a good thing I didn't boot up the game over the weekend and now I can experience it slightly smoother.

Glad to see it's finally got a release month! I've seen it up for preorder at The Game Collection for years! xD
Seeing the little updates on the devs YT channel "Dinosaur Bytes" has been cool. Liking the nods to other games like Tomb Raider in one of its levels.

Will wait for reviews before any purchase, think I will more likely get this on PS5 as I worry it might be a bit ropey on Switch (but who knows! Could be a solid port to the hybrid)

Hearing a fair few people on YouTube mention multiple crashes, yet I've personally not had a single crash during my 15hrs of play on Switch.
My launch Switch holding strong!! 💪

On the whole, Dreamlight Valley looks and runs pretty decently.
Have had the odd audio crackling bug when entering the meadow. And occasional framerate hiccups (but nothing to make it unplayable).

Looking forward to seeing what new content appears. (give us KH content Disney! you know you want to! )
I recently fractured 6 vertebrae in my spine, so this has been a great relaxing, cosy game to play whilst I recover.

Crazily enough for me it's the "Staff Credits" in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake on Nintendo Switch.

The mixture of the epic orchestration with the 8-bit Game Boy sound effects is awesome!
When I finished the game and heard this play, it put a huge smile on my face and felt I accomplished a great adventure.

If Nintendo ever choose to make Zelda movie I would 100% love to hear this play.

@Burning_Spear Sorry to hear that, that sucks. Are you US based?
UK has physical copies readily available and easy to acquire (looks to be a different distributor).

Still waiting on an analysis to confirm if the base game itself is properly patched up and fixed!
Heard there was a game breaking bug that deleted your save files (SwitchUp for example couldn't finish their review because of it) and the framerate on Switch got worse and worse the further you got into the game.

If fixed, i'd pick it up alongside the DLC.

It's a shame rumble, gyro and wireless play are all missing with these.
Have the Daemon X Machina Split Pad Pro but it was just that little bit to big in the hand for me + felt too hollow and light.

Was recently looking at alternatives (although were unlicensed) and Binbok and NYXI kept coming up, but despite having the majority of features, it seems their quality control is really hit and miss.
Didn't want to risk it so just got a Skull & Co ZenGrip instead.

If these Split Pad Compacts had the additional features, would have likely been an instant purchase.

Switch Sports Golf shadow drop!

So will the Nintendo of Europe YT channel not be livestreaming either?
They say on twitter to stay tuned for updates from 16:00 CEST (3pm UK)

If they are streaming on their channel, surely for us UK people it'd may be better to check out their stream than the US one if potential regional differences (like with special edition announcements etc) arise.

Sweet! Not that far off either!
Might get this after I am done with "Tinykin" (just came out today).
Switch is a perfect console for cosy games

Cool costumes.
I fell off the game a little while back (hoping Golf will bring me back in autumn). Are the costume unlocks still for online play only?
if so, tis a shame as I only properly play it when friends come over. Would be cool to unlock them whilst doing 4 player local bowling etc.

Fair enough, but would prefer additional game modes as it's so barebones.
Even after playing 2-3 rounds with friends in local multiplayer we all zone out and switch to something else.

Would be cool too if the stadiums weren't just different skins but have theme specific on pitch obstacles etc.
I swear the Wii game had that?
And perhaps different size pitches? The ones in Battle League feel so close and tight.

Would really like to see Rocket: Robot on Wheels as I never heard of it until NitroRad and Antdude.
Putting my nostalgia goggles on, taking me back to the 90s as a kid I'd like to see NSO add:
Goldeneye
Tetrisphere
Diddy Kong Racing
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Pokemon Stadium 1/2 (love the minigames!)
Snowboard Kids
Top Gear Overdrive
Mario Party (1 of the 3) - but doubtful after MP Superstars release
Rugrats in Paris

So the description in the YT vid says "Developed by Grove Street Games"! Yeesh!
Will be interesting to see if DF do a follow up video. Their original with the harmonica JP theme intro was great.

Sweet! Will give this a try.
Would love for Tetrisphere to also eventually make its way to NSO. That game is the only video game that got my parents hooked. Fond memories playing that all together in the late 90s.

Pie in the sky hope that will never come to fruition i'm sure... Conker's Bad Fur Day!
Maybe it's with rose tinted glasses but the split screen multiplayer was amazing! Had so much fun playing Heist, War and Deathmatch with friends.

Who knows! Nintendo might announce that a proper Direct will air the following week at the end of this one.
Just a reverse of what they've done before, whereby in a regular Direct they announced a specific one like for Smash or AC.
It would align perfectly with Alanah Pearce's comment that a Direct (I presume she meant general) is on the 29th.

Tbh though I have SO MANY backlog games across Switch/PS5 at the moment, that I can survive without one. Perhaps a Direct in September when said backlog is slightly reduced.

Wooh! Finally!
Was expecting this announcement to be at the indie direct the other week. Glad to see it back and with a release date. Pretty soon too!

So it looks like they have two projects:
1 "new release for Switch from our own catalog"... to me that means an existing game, but new for Switch... Maybe one of their Star Wars Clone Wars games remastered like they did with Force Unleashed? Or perhaps Legend of Spyro?

2 is the entirely new game. Wonder who the publisher is.

Think this will be wait for a few patches before I buy for me!
Been seeing a few other reviews for the Switch version saying there is a game breaking glitch that wiped their saves completely (this is on the latest version 1.1 of the game) . Nintendolife team must have got lucky not triggering it.
Tis a slight shame as I love my 00s era 3D platformers.

The intercollegiate angle would have been cool.
Could they not make the college outfits unlockable costumes in the future?!
Kinda get why they scrapped the robots. Keep the sports to their pure, as intended form.
Again surely they could create t-shirts for our avatars with the burger, bear, skull etc on them no....?

Looks cool! I like the concept.
My only hope would be that the daily clock doesn't run too fast. I know soooooo many people will disagree with me, but I feel the clock in Stardew is too fast and it was turn off for me.

Games like "Littlewood" on the other hand I preferred in that time moved forward based on your actions. "Spiritfarer" was also a good speed of time I felt.

Coolio! Never played it back on the original N64, so will be fun to give it a try.

So! We have one more N64 game left from the trailers they showed us of NSO+Expansion.... Pokemon Snap!
Wonder if Nintendo will show off a new wave of upcoming N64 games? Or is that it!?

Everyone wanting deets on Silksong and here I am wondering if there'll be any update on "Bear and Breakfast" xD

So is Heather literally crossing the road to her new job?
The NOA offices are right next door to Microsoft.

Eyeing up Parkasaurus, but only got Jurassic World: Evolution the other week in an eshop sale and have JW:E 2 on PS5 too, so might be a bit dino'd out! xD
Physical copy of Nintendo Switch Sports arriving tomorrow!

@AndyC_MK111 You'd hope there'd be some form of roadmap, but I don't think Nintendo has any set structure on how they proceed with free DLC or not.

Just look at Super Mario Party for example! Sold incredibly well (I think the 7th best selling Switch game) and people called out for additional boards as free DLC... sadly never came to be. Instead we got a MP: Superstars a few years after.
Whereas Mario Tennis Aces and Golf: Super Rush are way, way lower in sales, yet got a consistent set up of updates.

Could be that developer Camelot had time to do that with the sports titles, but NDcube just wanted to move onto the next thing.
Just got to wait n see with Switch Sports!

Think I will wait until Golf becomes available. The game in general as a whole might get a bit more fleshed out by then with updates similar to Tennis Aces.
Even then I'll see first. Feel like I might as well just boot up Wii Sports on my WiiU.

That's crazy! Just the other day I was checking to see if Parkasaurus was out or soon to be released, so that I could play with my nephew... No details, so I bought Jurassic World: Evolution on Switch as it was on sale and Evolution 2 on PS5 as well! 😂
Cut to today and we have a release date!... Will still get it! I'll be chock full of Dino sims! 😂

Already have the game on PS5, but would like to check out the demo to see the differences visually.

I was deliberating between the 2 consoles, but ultimately ended up with the PS5 version as I was concerned Switch would be pared back quite heavily (I have Lego City Undercover and Marvel Super Heroes 2 on Switch which can be hit n miss at times)... but, doesn't seem to entirely be the case for Skywalker Saga and a decent port... but still happy to play on next gen, despite missing out on handheld play.

My folders are: Nintendo 1st Parties (excl Mario), All Things Mario!, NSO Apps, JRPG Central, GC Era Retro Remasters, PS3/360 Ports/Remasters and Indies.
Still a bunch of games sitting in no man's land though.

Wish the folders were on the main home page rather than scrolling to the end and then going to the "groups" sub section.

Ah memories of playing my cousin''s copy of FZero in 98 at the grand ole age of 6, with no clue what I was doing xD

Sorry if anyone's already noted this in the comments, so I went back to the Expansion Pass overview trailer from when it launched and there seems to now be 3 remaining games left from what they showed: Kirby The Crystal Shards, Pokemon Snap and Mario Golf... wonder what's next! and what comes after those 3!

Simply curious to see if any aforementioned "super spy" appears.
Oh and for Square to pop up and say "Only joking about the KH games being cloud only" and show off cartridges xD

All my friends who wanted to get Legends: Arceus went with Currys because of the price point.
I went with The Game Collection, because being a saddo physical collector, wanted the steelbook case and was only £4 more than Curry's preorder deal.

Either stock flew away or it was a listing error as it's now £303.39 from Amazon directly.
There is £293 from a 3rd party seller, but delivery is a tenner, so a bit pointless.
