This'll be what Nintendo reveal at the Geoff Keighley Awards, er, I mean the Game Awards. There'll be at least one Fortnite character in Smash too. And please God let the Trilogy HD remasters finally come out.

I'm going to hold out in the hope of a Breath of the Wild 2 themed console.

It's supposed to stand out. It looks fine.

@VenomousAlbino Oh do they? The colour ones are only from Picross S5 or do they have those in any of the others?

I think these Picross S games are really sterile feel. They have no personality to them. I'm still on Picross S 1 and I don't think I'll bother with any others. I remember when they images you'd uncover would animate. The 3D version (first, not second) also had a good feel about it. Shame these don't recreate that magic.

@reporterdavid yep

So they've reinstated the analogue FLUDD control? That's great! Might have to hunt down the controller now.

Mine is currently in Royal Mail limbo. Was supposed to be here on Friday. The pain !!!

No sound is a deal breaker sadly. The lag you get with bluetooth those bluetooth dongles is too much of an annoyance. Otherwise I think this looks actually would be great.

Doesn't look like mine is going to arrive until tomorrow. Nintendo really missed a trick by not making this a connected device that can download additional Game & Watch games. Imagine if you had a Nintendo Online subscription and could download old single screen Game & Watch titles. Then next year Nintendo release a dual screen version.

I bought it last year when it was like £7 or something but didn't actually play it until last week. It was nice. But I played it in one and the exploration elements were a little boring. The set pieces the game takes you through though were wonderful. I'd say it was absolutely worth it at 90% off!

Not gonna spoil it for myself. Mine is coming tomorrow morning.

Ha, this is great. I'm going to pretend this was on purpose.

£400?!? Bloody hell. I wish I had money to burn.

Yeah, that's getting removed.

That does look like it feels like a proper Mario Kart game. And I would LOVE to try it, but I don't have anywhere to actually set up a course in my home.

I'd love to play Shattered Memories today. I never got round to it on Wii.

I liked the demo of this actually. Surprised it's not out yet. Even with 20% off, £15.99 seems a little steep as I wasn't convinced it was much more than a linear narrative story disguised as open world.

What a load of absolute tripe. Milla and her husband ruin these Capcom games they've somehow managed to get film licenses to. (Admittedly Resi 1 and 2 film were OK, they're good guilty pleasure films).

I love janky Jaleco beat 'em ups and 64th Street looks awesome! Those sound effects, the music!

Kuri Kinton looks good.

I've never heard of some these games either so this is a delight!

This does seem about six months too late but COVID-19 I suppose. I sold my Animal Crossing amigo card in June and made some good money off them - I don't need them anymore as I can't remember the last time I played Animal Crossing. Which is such a shame. I wish I could enjoy it.

I've loved all the CG Resident Evil films so I'm looking forward to this. The upload wasn't the best quality. I'm sure it being a series, the budget will have to spread very thin so it may not be the absolute best CG it can be.

There’s only so many ways you can design a comfortable controller.

I don’t fully agree. Nintendo can do what they want, people can buy the game if they want it during the allotted time of its release. It’s not like we haven’t been warned.

Plus these are re-releases of games that have already been physically and digitally released before.

How did we cope back in the day when no game developer had a digital store front to rerelease old games when they felt like it? We’ve never had it better when it comes to accessing games from all previous generations. I’m guessing this unhappiness stems from us having to pay again to access them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo release each game separately on the eShop come April 2021 anyway (without the soundtracks).

I think they really missed a trick making this a Game & Watch that is capable of being loaded with other Game & Watch titles. Sell them on the Switch eShop for £5 each, connect this to your Switch to load them to it.

I've bought this only for the collectability of it. I doubt I'll even use it.

I had Pocky & Rocky on the SNES all the way back when and loved it. Will definitely be keep an eye on this!

@AnotherGoblin Conforming to societal pressures for how you should dress. Cringe.

If this was half the price I would JUMP at the chance of owning this but it's just too expensive for me sadly.

I tried to get into to Oceanhorn one. I did buy it on iTunes because it was like half the price of the Switch port and I do have an Apple TV with one of those Steelseries controllers. It just felt a bit too shallow, I don't know it just didn't click with me. I'm sure I could play it if I didn't have a Switch with a superior Zelda game on the shelf to play instead.

When I saw this game during Apple's announcement of Apple Arcade I thought it was Nintendo's Zelda game that was rumoured they were devoting for mobile for moment. It really did look very Breath of the Wild.

Something about this story just tugs at your heart strings, doesn't it?

I've loved HORI products for as long as I can remember playing video games to be honest. I've wanted a Split Pad Pro but not in the Daemon X Machina or Pac-Man designs so happy to read about this. Fingers crossed they come to the UK / Europe.

My Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Pro Controller started to drift last month. Which scared the hell out of me because people are trying to change £200 for these things on eBay!

Anyways, giving it a good blow and cleaning out the analogue stick caps, which were admittedly filthy, seemed to do the job for now.

Oh wow, that's the worst video I've seen. I'm not too fussed about frame rate drops - they don't really affect my enjoyment of games much. But I have to say that second video is just awful and I'm going to join in and say a developer should be ashamed of themselves if they thought that was acceptable.

After playing the first game I have this sat on the shelf waiting for me to play it but I'm still only half way through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition.

This looks like silly guns. Cross play with other platforms would be cool.

You only need to Google it to see that use or the word lame to describe something as bad is a point of contention for those sensitive to the topic of disability. It’s use in high school playgrounds as meaning “bad” is similar to the way use of the term “gay” drifted to that way, only it happened much earlier in time so it didn’t really get the same reaction.

I just think a professional journalist should have an awareness of such things.

@SwitchVogel Hmmm, find a better word to describe something you don’t like.

But it is surprising. The whole list is.

It'll be weird to hear his real voice!

SOLD out already. Boo.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand, you can't buy Wii U consoles as new any more. You'll only buy them second hand now, and if that's the case you can buy a second hand physical copy if you really want to play it, can't you?

On the other hand, what's the harm in keeping it on the Wii U eShop. Sure, you might be getting 0 sales on this right now, but this revival on Switch may actually make those that have stuck with the Wii U buy a game and there's no harm in making a couple of extra sales that go straight into your pocket even if it's an old platform, surely?

Eventually they'll shut down the Wii U eShop anyway won't they? Might as well have as much choice to be able to make as much money as you possibly can until that day. Just seems counter productive.

Honestly Chibi Robo on the GameCube is one my most favourite games ever. It truly is just a delight. I must have played through it three or four times.

I imported Park Patrol and enjoyed that too. It was just different enough while kept the charm of the original.

I never played one after that, also on DS. But it also sounds goods.

Then for some reason they started going in weird directions. The photo finder game was a little quirky but wasn't going to attract large sales and Zip Lash just was just hovering below average, wasn't it?

I love that we got an Amiibo of Chibi though. At least we'll always have that.

I would love a remake of the original though on Switch. With some quality of life improvements.

I was too late with The LEGO.com purchase, but then Nintendo UK sent me an invitation to buy one so I did it through them. I'm probably not even going to open it and pray I can sell it for a little more that I paid for it in ten years or something, lol.

I bet I cave in and open it though.

I wish you could buy the Mario figure separately to the LEGO sets because I don't want to those but I'd love to use it with this for the sound effects.

I'm getting very Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland vibes from it.

I hope we do get some meatier updates in the future, too.

Bowling motion controls are terrible. We need this to mimic Wii Sports bowling as best it can, it does not recapture that magic.

Also, I hate in games like Yacht that you can shake the dice with a shake, but you still have to tap A twice to throw.

Are there more card designs other than Mario? If there aren't then we need them.

More dice based board games please!

I bought it when it was on sale a month or so ago and I loved it.

The story was great, I loved that you could just wander off the story and the conversations he would have with you as you drove.

But the driving was AWFUL.

Also, the glitchiness of the NPCs in any other game would be unforgivable but I it made me howl with laughter in this for some reason. It did looks pretty crap, and combat was basic but it I actually really enjoyed it.

So wait, the deadnaming in the game was not to show how the characters disrespected the transgender person in the game?

I don't remember the first game frame rate being so bad but I do remember it chugging sometimes.

Who wants to be the fix is simply a downgrade on resolution rather than an optimisation? Ugh, I'd be so disappointed. I don't believe for ONE second that the Switch isn't capable of running this game at 1080p docked if they spent some time optimising it properly.

I wish I was as stable as a Nintendo game console operating system.

I was really disappointed with the game. It sells itself on this unique puzzle mechanic, and introduces another two but it underuses all of them. The end of the game is just a mess that really hurt my eyes and I was so happy it was over. For a two hour game it excelled at making it feel like such a drag at the end. I was so happy it was over.

Deadly Premonition Origins just got updated to 1.0.4. It was apparently 300MB. Can’t find out why. The icon changed though that can’t be all it was.

The jankiness is part of the game but if something is truly game breaking I’m sure it will be fixed.

I would laugh out loud when people would get into their cars and drive straight through buildings in Origins. I found it funny rather than something that made me hate the game more.

Was this ever translated officially?
