You've got your VB stand the wrong way round, FYI.

When using the Switch 2 with the VB replica the outer edges of the screen image are blurred. I have to physically move my face up and down to get them into view. It's very annoying. It's fine when playing the actual VB games, but the Switch UI like the game selection screen or control customisation screens you can't see them everything at once. It's weird.

Anybody else finding the the edges of the screen aren’t in view when playing on the Switch 2 using the Virtual Boy replica? I have to adjust my view to see the everything on the main VB menu screen, controls screen etc. The games are fine as they don’t take up the whole screen. The adjustment screen size only affects the VB games themselves, not the Switch user interface.

£60 is a lot. I do like it though.

I've got the Talking Flower ordered. That's a bit easier on the wallet, lol.

Which means the only way I'm buying this is if they fall to 50% off on the eShop.

I may buy Indiana Jones though.

I will be buying the Switch 1 version because I get the game on the actual cartridge.

It's sad, but it was already struggling before Fraser Group took it over. I bought my Gamecube, Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance and SP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii and original Nintendo 3DS at Game stores.

So what happens if you just remove the red lens anyway before this option launches? Does it go greyscale or will it still be red?What's the point of the red lens then?

I look forward to buying it when it's £10 on the eShop.

Welcome Mai! Really looking forward to seeing your work on here.

I don't really get it. It's the only brick that has lights and sound. Will this be provided in specific sets or do you have to buy this separately, and it'll attach into other lego sets? Will you end up with loads of them. Will they all be 2x4 bricks or will they come in multiple shapes?

I was looking at the charge case from them and so now that they're releasing this new one maybe that one will go on sale.

That's got to be an anagram of a domain name, yes? Did Nintendo Life capitalise those letters?

The Varia Suit is an absolutely iconic piece of character design. It's beautiful!

Absolutely howling at the “Stop Charging Around 90% was renamed and updated to Stop Charging Around 80-90%”

Could they not simply fix the issue?

They're now up on the My Nintendo UK Store.

I do wish they'd release CD soundtracks here too.

The big 8 LP pack is £159.99 and free shippingon My Nintendo UK Store but it's £145 + £8.44 shipping on the Laced Audio site.

Not currently in stock on My Nintendo. Not sure if it sold out or it's just never been up.

This doesn't convince me to buy the DLC.

$500 for a keyboard that you can't even use on a Mac properly? Nope.

This is cute! I may get one. These style of photos have actually become a bit of novelty on nights out with my friend group.

I think it's about time we get full sized people walking about in a Pikmin game.

I know I'm a sucker, but I did buy the physical, despite already have 3D All Stars.

And I'm playing Galaxy 1 again which looks gorgeous! Can't wait to get to 2.

I am in to this on Day One! Back in the Noughties, I bought a Virtual Boy off eBay sealed but it didn't work. Was gutted. So I've never been able to play one. So I'm really all in here.

I've got both the cardboard and replica and I will be playing EVERY game. I might even take couple of days off work to celebrate! Lol. It'll feel like having a a whole new system! And I always take days off for those.

I will be buying the Switch 1 version of this game in that case. I don't care if the Switch 2 version is different. Not interested in a Game Key Card thank you very much.

Well I don't buy it.

"Do physical items outside of digital products last forever? Most of the time, they don’t, right? Physical things always have a lifespan and will eventually break. Digital products, on the other hand, generally don’t have a lifespan."

Rubbish, people are still able to play their NES games if they've taken care of them. They're surprisingly hardy. Sure, battery backup might fail, but can be fixed.

Digital items, as the articles says, last only as long as the service is provided unless you have them downloaded to your own storage. And even then you can't guarantee you'll be able to play that game because those consoles often require a connection check you have a licence.

The only good thing about Game Key Cards is that you can sell them on. But that's generally not what I'm interested in doing so as far as I'm concerned I'm never buying one.

@romanista TOTK is not DLC for
Breath of the Wild, there was over 100 hours of gameplay there for me.

Oh I didn’t realise you HAD to buy these to play the games? Why aren’t they just in regular 2D for those that don’t want to buy them? I get you might not be able to get the most out of the games if they’re not in 3D.

That is dumb. I guess that’s why they’ve released the cheaper cardboard one.

This is £10 DLC if that. They used to give this kind of content away for free. The game came out o my two months ago and already has paid DLC. Definitely not buying it at this price.

I tried Hollow Knight. I don't know how far I got. But I started getting lost and I think gave up because the enemy in the way of where I think I need to go is just too difficult for me. But this might convince me to give it another go and if I do better then maybe I will eventually buy this.

£1 to upgrade to the Switch 2 version? Sure, I'll pay that. Turns out there were five additional anomalies and those anomalies weren't particularly exciting. The graphics do look a LOT better. The movement feels much smoother. But there's still this awful fuzziness around any kind of movement and the posters being so blurry at a short distance is disappointing. It's really enjoyed this game though when I played it on Switch and enjoyed this quick little run-through again. I was hoping we'd maybe get a trailer for the movie or something. It's apparently still looking for distribution outside of Japan but I may need to hunt that down as I'm desperate to watch it. I hope that the new game this developer is making appears on Switch 2. Platform 8 is also really good. Highly recommend that too.

Ah good. Wonder if we’ll get a Metroid one later too?

That's so impressive! What ambition and skill as well.

This is very very exciting! I really have that nostalgia pang for Shenmue 1 so hopefully this will mean we get those too?

I just really couldn't get on the with the controls. I think I would do better if I could play on a desk but my legs or chair arms just aren't quite right for me.

Ughhhhhhh I loooooooooooooove this game so much.

I didn't like the game anyway so haven't bothered this time.

I really didn't like it. Unless they've changed it greatly, I probably won't bother.

Hopefully these come to the UK too, I need a new pair! Lol.

I'm just not buying a game on a game key card or download code - I would rather buy it direct from the eShop and then I'll only do that if it's on a good sale price. Had the games actually been on the card I would have bought Sonic and Yakuza, definitely. And possibly Hitman.

@Suketoudara Thanks so much for taking the time to go through this it's been really helpful.

I have an LG C2. I figured out where the HGIG settings are but I don’t have an Xbox for his next step (ridiculous step) and then everything he said after that made no sense to me, so I don’t understand what to do with he brightness bar on the second screen so I’ve adjusted it to what I think looks good.

Not sure I really notice the difference to be honest.

Yes! I found the initial setup of this so confusing. The two suns were so close together in brightness I had to push it all the way to one end but both were barely visible. I'll give this a go when I get home.

I only every played the first Gex on 3DO.

The whole layout of the Nintendo Switch Online app has changed Or did that change in the last update - I didn't notice then, but I didn't notice now!

I'll be buying the Switch 1 version then.

Oh my gosh I would love to play these all again!

I would love to be able to to play the Dreamcast one again. I LOVED it.

They're just a waste of plastic and will become worthless once the servers shut down. I will buy digital games but they have to be heavily discounted. I'm talking not much more than £10. I will very happily buy a game I want on physical format for full price as I know I could dig that out the cupboard in 20 years and still play it. Or it will have more value than the digital copy equivalent in that time. Game Key Cards are a waste of plastic. I do get that they do allow you to give the key card to someone else, or sell it. But once the eShop shuts down so does access to the game. So I will be supporting games that are completely on a game card.

I don't understand what Online Licence settings is.

"When turned on, you can play downloaded software or DLC you've purchased while the system is connected to the internet, even if you don't have the virtual game card loaded.

So does that mean if you've sent the game to another system via virtual game card, as long as you're connected to the internet you can still play the game?
