Still can't find the registration button for London. It just points me to the create Nintendo Account page.

It's a weird video to release. I thought this might have been a DLC announcement so clicked on it. I had already played the game though so I recognised it once it started playing.

Oh so this explains all the posts I saw on reddit of people saying "I bought a pack googly eyes and I got a load of Switch games".

Lol I chuckled at the "apparently" and "supposedly".

The inspiration for each character is very clear but it dos look pretty good, doesn't it?

Fantastic news. They are a powerhouse developer and have been crucial in many Nintendo games development on the Switch.

Ooh it will be nice to have more variety sun the alarms.

I wonder if there's any feature updates coming. It really could do with some!!!

It's this game (along with Super Mario 64) that is my introduction to N64. Listening to the title music really hits the nostalgia in such a way that Mario music doesn't though because I don't often go back to it. Beautiful soundtrack.

I do really want to buy this but I know I'll HATE the controls so much that I just won't play it.

It really need a few quality of life improvements before it goes own general sale I'd say. Unless you are a Nintendo fan, there really isn't any reason to buy this as its features are way behind was a mobile phone or smart watch can do these days.

I tried to boot this up several times over the last couple of weeks and I couldn't even get into the game. It kept throwing up an error.

The controls are going to be horrendous though aren't they?

I don’t understand the point of the comic segments though as it just looks like the level spans over the entire page. In Comix Zone each cell was its own self contained area more often than not.

I recently got the physical game. My version says it’s 1.0.6 and that I’m using the latest version of the software.

There is definitely more to it by the sound of it.

“Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date.“

With Nintendo Switch.

So even the devices will be compatible?

I've never played a Yakuza game properly - I have memories of maybe playing one on PS3 a loooooong time ago, probably demo of some sort. So this is perfect and £17.99 is a good price, I think. I'm surprised at this price,, so it's probably one of the first games that I'm happy to buy on release day from the eShop. I would have rather had a physical, but I'm not buying from LRG.

I've been playing it and honestly, meh. It's not my sort of game at all. It doesn't feel very Nintendo either. It feels like a standard online game of its type and one I didn't find particularly enjoyable - lots of frustrating things about it.

I loved the the other Shin-Chan game so I'll be getting this. There's also another game on the eShop like this - Natsumon? I'll probably get that too!

I will have to turn the motion sensing off on this at some point because it just doesn't work properly. It won't detect that I got out of bed until I stand up on the opposite side of the bed in which the clock placed. So when I start moving around back on my side of the bed, it things I got back in. It's weird.

So I had to get out of bed this morning on the other side of the bed, not my usual side. The Alarmo just would't register me getting out of bed. I love the kookiness of this product, but I'm going to have to turn the motion sensing off because it just doesn't work. Because of how it works I feel Nintendo really need to give us a detailed setup guide.

I really do feel like this product hasn't been tested, or even fine tuned to match the average person. It's designed to work under a very specific setup that I don't believe the majority of people have.

One thing I haven't tried yet is setting my bed to a single bed, even though I sleep in a single bed. I want to see what that does.

Woken up by Ring Fit Adventure today. Still not convinced the Alarmo is positioned correctly but it was cute.

So no European distribution then? I know Switch is region free but I’d rather not use LRG if someone else is distributing in Europe.

In the setup process my other half said you tell it what size bed you have so wondered if setting it to single bed would help if you only want it to track one person in bed? Interesting theory which I might have to try.

I don’t feel the motion sensing is satisfactory so far. The setup testing of the sensor zone was not easy and it didn’t go smoothly. How you choose the position of the alarm clock is strange and doesn’t fill me with confidence that I’m doing it right.

Where it sits on my bedside table is also not great. It’s in an always place that is in the way of everything else leaving a cable trailing across the table top and in the way of my glass of water.

Plus I sleep with someone else so that doesn’t play well with it either.

Also you can only set one alarm. I have two alarms, one of the weekend and one for the week. Can’t do that here. Just one alarm time. Though you can change the days when the alarms go off. So almost there.

Based on the above I don’t see this as being something that lasts more than a week on my bedside table.

I'm confused. Is that actually the original Switch model AND the new Switch 2 model on there for comparison or are there two models like with the current gen?

They've hardly spent a lot of time on external product design here. A bit underwhelmed by that but then, what should I expect if they're going for the same type of machine. There's no point in making a drastic change when the current form works really well. Disappointed they've stick with the four separate buttons for the d-Pad.

It's so underwhelming that I would expect this to be true.

What else is there to show? Unless there are unannounced games, which I'm sure there are, it's got to be Switch 2.

I like it when obscure games, or games that weren't released in a region get announced. It's fun to try old games, or games you never thought you'd play again.

I do also wish the Japanese language games would get translation somehow. I know the work this would take would likely make it all cost prohibitive so get why it's not being done.

I loved the demo of this so will definitely pick it up eventually.

The only games from those lists that I'm not getting are Mario Party and Pokemon.

These are cool. I wish I lived in Japan sometimes, but the amount of plastic in my house would be even worse than it already is!

Do you think Nintendo had a warehouse of spare buttons and was like "what do we do with these?"

If this sells well will they release the original remakes on physical in Europe?

Ooooooh! The first Chibi-Robo game holds a special place in my heart so this is interesting. Not sure I dig the art style just yet. Will be good to see it in motion.

There's no way they play footage from a Switch to when they're talking about this game on Switch. They'll show that when they announce Switch 2, because this game will definitely be on there.

I'd forgotten all about this and will be ALL over them when they finally arrive!

Yay, this is great news! I loved the Sega Picross.

Did we not get The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls on something before?

Ooooh, this looks lovely.

So it's the procedurally generated maps that they've added, but I was really hoping we'd get a decent story mode and that just doesn't seem to be the case. If I didn't have the pangs of nostalgia for the Wii games, I probably give this a miss, but that's marketing for ya. I hope we get some DLC.

So this is a game based on that scene from Honey I Shrunk The Kids? Sounds cool!

@Theghostofkeithmoon Oh! This is frustrating, I didn’t even know who the exclusive retailer was supposed to be. Didn’t see any notifications anywhere. 😭

I just want the game on physical, I don't want all the collectors stuff.

This is giving me Bayonetta vibes.

Yeah I really liked the 2DS. It was cute with it's doorstop wedge shape.

I have the Mario Red + Blue edition of the original Switch model. I did want this one to match, but I'd just bought the Zelda OLED version and the only really special thing about this version is the original colour of the dock.

Why isn't the premium edition available in the UK on Switch?

Oh no! I missed out on the fancy tin from HMV. Dammit.

Found it on Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BZSQS4WS?psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

I actually did enjoy it but lots of it really had me screaming "that never happened" at the TV.

Meh.... I'd like to see Sonic 3D Blast from the Saturn as well as the Sonic Jam open world level make a return please. Oh and how about Knuckles Chaotix?!

The poll should allow multiple choice!

Layton, Deca, Megaton and Fantasy Life have all got me interested!

I have the Mario red Switch and dock and I love them!

I love my Mario Red console. The Platoon OLED is gorgeous as well.

I know that when they finally announce the Zelda OLED I'll buy that and sell my Mario Red. Even though I don't actually like that Zelda OLED all that much to be honest. I've just always had a Zelda themed console from Nintendo if they ever released one so it kinda feels like tradition. I had the gold GBA-SP. I had the Wii U, I had ALL the 3DS console variants.
