I really want that slime controller but I'm not I'm importing it. I'll pray they release it here (ha, I mean do I really believe there's a chance of that?)
Meh. While I've not played this current Elder Scrolls game (can you even, isn't it in a closed beta?) I assume as it's mobile that it's a loot based, free to play / pay to win style game. The game play looks janky and not free roaming like Skyrim - I'm very confused by it. It doesn't look appealing at all.
Switch is the first Nintendo console that I’ve bought loads of third party titles for. This will be included! I’m super excited about this and the Welsh lantern nose thing!
You should add the officially licensed six button controllers from Amazon for those of us in the US and Europe that have to put up with the three button controller.
Yeah this looks lovely in renders but practically, it would be horrid. That sort of plastic is a fingerprint magnet and would like tired and old very quickly. The control sticks are also too close to the outer edge so I don't think they'd be comfortable. But it's a nice looking design and dock idea is pretty great. It's a little Vita looking though too which I think they should avoid.
Not having Haunted Castle and Rondo of Blood on the Castlevania Collection is really putting me off buying it. This collection I think has all the 8 and 16 bit games, oh wait, except Contra Force.
Well, the first Detective Pikachu game didn't go as far revealing that Pikachu was in fact Tim's father, even though it was heavily suggested by the storyline. The movie however did reveal that so I hope there's going to be a lot more introduced in the game.
So it looks like you'll be able to bring your Pokemon from Go, Let's Go and Bank to Home but not send them back. With Shield and Sword, you'll be able to send them and retrieve them. Interesting.
These are actually pretty damn good. Streaming now on Apple Music while at work at it's surprisingly soothing and just great at drowning out the surrounding noise without distracting me.
How are you supposed to play Street Fighter II with three bloody buttons? If I recall, you actually hold the start button and press a button or something really dumb, but goodness gracious me Sega. GIVE US THE SIX BUTTON JOYPAD.
While I dislike emulation in general what I like about reporting things like this is it shows what can be done and should make Nintendo and other companies make more effort when they try to resell their 20 year old games for £5 or £10 with no improvements. I know we're seeing some games come to us with improvements but that's still few a far between. If they could HD the Mode 7 of SNES games when they eventually come to Switch, that would be a massive bonus to everyone.
Ooooh, this has my interest! I really would love a Story of Seasons game. I guess it depends how heavily Doraemon features and if it really relies on your familiarity with that franchise. Other than being a cute character from Japanese comics and cartoons I don't know a lot about Doraemon. The trailer perhaps suggest it's not heavily comic or cartoon based. It looks more like it just so happens Doraemon is in the game rather than in the Doraemon universe, if you get my meaning?
I've got every amiibo released in the UK aside from Octoling Splatoon 2 amiibo (which I will get at some point). I don't know why, I love collecting them though.
I was completely against the idea of this, and now I really want it. I need to let the hype die to know if I truly am interested. The game selection is very good if maybe four too few. If the build quality really is there, then I'll be impressed (not by a CG demo with nothing but text telling us off the quality), but £200 really is pushing it!
Nintendo are doing well enough now surely they can lower the price of Switch cartridges for publishers so they can afford bigger ones so that day ones patches aren’t 16GB. Downloads on Switch are so much slower compared with my iPad or Mac. Cheaper cartridges mean we might not have to download the other half of the game, or could even get two games on one cart, or two carts with both games (FFX/X-2, etc.)
This looks really nice. Sadly the connection to Doraemon means its unlikely to come out over here. Hope we get a Story of Seasons game on Switch though.
I think it's super weird that people are blaming the game or the character, not the player. And the way he then went and knocked the guy off the stage after he'd walked off in protest of the way his opponent was playing is also tasty.
That play style should be banned. That player should be banned. It's not the game's fault or the characters fault.
I'm so conflicted. The art is very good. But I don't know if I like it in the context of a Streets of Rage game. But that's mostly because I'm very adverse to change.
The sound effects and music all sounds lifted from the old games.
The game play looks like you'd expect the game to play. It's how it feels which will make or break this game so can't really comment on that either.
I’d like a 1080p screen but the same size (which I doubt would happen) and 4K docked gaming which sounds plausible. If the Switch insides upgraded ram and processors would that cause an issue for current games? I’m guessing not. But it’s going down the PS4 pro route where we’ll get games with Pro only features. I’m not fussed because I would honestly upgrade. I’d be happy with the lite model for taking out of the house though. I don’t need detachable joy con or hd rumble when i’m Travelling because sometimes that thing goes nuts and just feels weird. Really loud, long unnecessary buzzes.

Re: DOOM Eternal Unleashes Hell On The Switch On 22nd November
I assume they spelled it "RAZE" for a reason? But I don't know enough to know why so it just looks like a glaring spelling error to me.

Ooooh. I mean, I love me some Dragon Quest and I'm getting bored of Pokemon Go to be honest. Do you think this will come out outside Japan though?
Re: Japanese Charts: Smash Ultimate Retakes The Top Spot As Switch Dominates
Wait, so Japan gets an origins collection on Switch where as we get each game separately?
This is why I'm never buying a full price Capcom game ever again.

Yep, getting this one!
