But I doubt this means if you perform a system transfer you can't move your Animal Crossing save. It just means you can't play it on both your Lite and your docked console. Which is true of a lot of some other games isn't it?
What the hell is the point in a Pro if there aren't any real performance enhancements?
We don't need 4K support but we do need a 1080p handheld screen, 60fps solid performance docked and undocked, bluetooth headset compatibility without the need for dongles, a premium enclosure and a more sturdy kickstand.
What would be good is a scalable architecture. Perhaps Nintendo could release something like a 4K dock, which would boost performamce to allow 4K when docked?
I imagine that's the standard copyright for Smash Bros. Ultimate now rather than a subtle hint Terry is coming next month. But of course it's possible.
I'm glad I didn't bother going now. Sounds like an absolute nightmare and hideous experience for all involved. Imagine having to wait for six hours for the privilege to pay for items, and then find out you can only have five items max! This desmans surely shows Nintendo and The Pokemon Company that there is demand for a permanent store or three in this country.
The latest news on the Pokemon Go app is that you can pay $7.99 to get access to special research (for early access to Regigigas) and some extra items like a Unova stone and some Pokemon raid passes.
I do find this sort of pricing ridiculous for what is essentially gambling with your money but it's how it works on mobile devices. People complained about spending £10 on Super Mario Run which was absolutely worth it. So this is what happens.
@RupeeClock Well, I'd image it'll be a press preview style event where it won't be rammed full of the London public. You may get a drink and some nibbles.
It’s either sold out or it never was available. There’s not button to buy. It doesn’t even say sold out. It just looks like it did before it was “available”.
I saw a report before I’d even managed to get in to Mario Kart that suggested the £4.99 a month subscription service withheld stuff behind the paywall so I was a little outraged but it turns out that, as Chris says, they’re not essential. Controlling is had enough without having to do it in a 200cc race!
The gacha system doesn’t seem worse than any other game I’ve played and so far it hasn’t bombarded me with messages about buying anything. The option is there and I’ve seen them, but you can easily ignore them. There’s a £19.99 set which is ludicrous! I’ve read reports of people buying them! I mean, they can do what’s they like with their money - it must be nice to have money to waste like that!
I’m playing with drift mode and I’m sort of getting used to it but it is awful. This is Nintendo’s “You must be able to play with only one hand” rule I’m guessing. It would be good if you could do normal steering with motion.
It’s pretty easy so far, I don’t think I’ve lost a race. I’m sure I will though the more cups I start. The level up and point system is an interesting new take on the game and could be interesting for a future Mario Kart on Switch which involves performing tricks and combos for more points! Could be good.
It’s wonderfully polished as you would expect of a Nintendo game and I think I’ll carry on with it until I get bored. I at least plan to play enough so I can buy a 10 pack of launches! You get bonuses every day so it it’ll take a while for me to get there but so far that’s fine. I don’t plan on spending a single penny on this game.
I have every single 3DS variant, sometimes multiples versions of those variants too. God I'm an idiot.
I also have a Wii Mini which I got super cheap and I've never actually used it because why would you? I've got a gorgeous red Mario 25th anniversary Wii.
I've got one of each of the Game Boy Advance systems too.
I remember back in the Gamecube days that Nintendo released this beautiful pearlescent Gamecube around the time Mario Strikers was released. I loved it, so sold my purple Gamecube and got this. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT when I took it home and saw that it didn't have the digital AV out port and I was FUMING because I imported the official composite cable at great expense. I had to return it and then buy another brand new Gamecube.
I want to get this because it's just so bizarre. £80 is a lot. I'd like to know more about the ring though. Is there actually tech in it, or is just a plastic shell? I think this will depend on whether I get it at launch or wait for some offers.
Why would anyone think the X button on a Nintendo controller is called anything bur the letter X? The clue or all the other buttons called A B Y Z L R, etc.
Then again, the people thinking that the PlayStation buttons are called anything but triangle, circle, square and cross are also absolutely insane.

Re: You Might Not Be Able To Transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data To Another Switch

Re: Poll: The Wonderful 101 Is The First Game From 'Platinum4', What Do You Think Is Next?
@readalie No, is that the DS game?
Re: Poll: The Wonderful 101 Is The First Game From 'Platinum4', What Do You Think Is Next?
@RiasGremory Source please.
Nintendo only published Astral Chain. We don't know if that means they own the IP.
Re: Poll: The Wonderful 101 Is The First Game From 'Platinum4', What Do You Think Is Next?
With the announcement that Daemon X Machina is getting released on PC, I wonder if that mesans Astral Chain might also get the same treatment?
Would love an Okami 2 though.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Joy-Con And Switch Dock To Be Sold Separately In Japan

Re: Start Your Island Life With This Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch

Wow, they're ugly. And batteries? Naah.

Re: Rumour: Nvidia's New Tegra X1+ Chip Could Make Switch Performance "Up To 25% Faster"
@roboshort No they were not. They had an extra 1 or 2GB of RAM or something.
Re: Rumour: Nvidia's New Tegra X1+ Chip Could Make Switch Performance "Up To 25% Faster"
But what does this mean in terms of performance that we, as game players, could see?
Sahing it's 25% faster doesn't really suggest much. It runs it's computation faster, so what?

Re: Nintendo Switch SNES Controllers Are Back In Stock In "Limited Quantities" (Europe)
The shopping price is absolutely terrible but I guess it is coming from Germany. I also had a £5 voucher for the store so that sort of made it better!

A small amount of additional stock. Whoop-di-effing-doodle-doo.
I bought the NES controllers. How about letting me buy at least ONE SNES controller Nintendo.

Version 9 and still no themes!
Re: Random: Don't Worry, Nintendo Switch's 'X' Button Is Still Called 'X'
Good god someone was bored in the office. ;-p
Why would anyone think the X button on a Nintendo controller is called anything bur the letter X? The clue or all the other buttons called A B Y Z L R, etc.
Then again, the people thinking that the PlayStation buttons are called anything but triangle, circle, square and cross are also absolutely insane.
