Now you're cheating with power!

Play-asia now add the import tax to any orders, which means it will never go to customs. However, it does mean you have to pay more. I just ordered an item recently from Play-Asia and it arrived straight at my house.

I will have to try 365games.co.uk myself. At least you have confirmed they are reliable, especially if there are no import charges.

I do need a Pro Controller. Neat design.

@Moroboshi876
It doesn't appear to be getting a physical in Europe, but you could import a USA copy from play-asia: https://www.play-asia.com/blade-strangers/13/70bail

Are people really this shallow minded? I'm not a fan of paying for a subscription to go online (especially as I already pay monthly to use the Internet), but the money you are giving them is going towards server costs.

Any game that goes online has to connect to a server, which believe it or not requires a location to store and they have to pay to keep the server up and running. The money you pay is going towards keeping this server up and running.

As for Nintendo's service, $20 for 1 year is fair. There are a few Switch online games I use, and if I want to continue, well I'm going to have to pay. At least they are giving us NES games to play, which is just the icing on top. They don't actually have to do it.

Also, look into getting the family pack, as you can pay less. With two people on it, that's $15 instead of $20.

Couldn't this apply to anything? Take the ironically named "Skills" from Advance Wars: Dual Strike. A Commanding Officer can use 4 "skills" to give them a boost. The problem is, you can use them to get rid of a COs weakness, or make them stronger in other areas.

To me, that's the equivalent of using a Cheat Device to give the same results, but in this case, the game gives you the option. Because the game allows you to do is, can it be considered as cheating? Thankfully "Skills" are optional, so I personally don't use them.

The problem with Free to Play is you can end up paying more money than an actual full game. Hence why I don't care for Fornite.

@GauBan
What button setting did you use?
I also found you couldn't navigate though the menus, so you would have to take the controller out each time, unless I'm mistaken.

Be there, or be square! ^_^

I have my GameCube Arcade Stick ready!

I really hope they include Fio or Eri from Meta Slug.

At least we got a physical box in the end.

If you like the 2D Sonic games on the Mega Drive, then you're going to love Sonic Mania!

Sorry Mario, but SEGA will are king when it comes to music from Sonic games. Cue that Chemical Plant music!

Yay! Updates!

@Nincompoop
You can turn the Toad commentary off in the options you nin com poop.

I never did buy the Wii U version, so 3DS version for me!

Yay, I hope it isn't in London!

**reads it is in London O2**

Oh come on!

Yay! Wario Ware demo! Move over Switch!

It's not like Xbox One or PS4 games put anything on the back of their game covers (feel free to prove me wrong). Poor Nintendo getting all the hate.

Does it really matter at the end of the day? I'm just glad I own a physical of this game.

I'm more upset the Switch version has no leader-boards and the menu icon doesn't have Crash & Coco's face on it. Such an outrage! Where did I put those pitch forks?

Butt this is an outrage! GRAB THOSE PITCH FORKS! BURN THE VILLAGE! SMASH 5 IS RUINED FOREVER!

Ah the good old "well all the Rare games won't be in the N64 Mini, so it will suck", even know most of the Rare games were not developed well and aren't that fun to play. Everyone praises Goldeneye, despite it being very overrated. Check out Square Eyed Jak's unbiased review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhvNPTKNP3Q) which explains the issues in more detail.

The N64 does have a good backlog of games to pick from:
1 - Super Mario 64
2 - Mario Kart 64
3 - F-ZERO X
4 - Donkey Kong 64 (despite being developed by Rare, Nintendo own and can sell this game)
5 - Mario Tennis
6 - Mario Golf
7 - Mario Party 2
8 - Mario Party 3
9 - Pokémon Snap
10 - Pokémon Puzzle League (a bloody good puzzle game by Intelligent Systems)
11 - Ridge Racer 64 (owned by Namco, but I think they would allow it)
12 - Puyo Puyo Sun (owned by Sega now, they would happily allow this import)
13 - Sin and Punishment (Nintendo have translated this into English themselves)
14 - Mischief Makers (data for this title has existed in Wii U Virtual Console titles, so it could happen)
15 - Star Fox 64
16 - Tonic Troubles (I could see Ubisoft allowing this one)
17 - Rayman 2: The Great Escape (I could see Ubisoft allowing this one)
18 - Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth (owned by Konami, since PC Engine games are being released on the Wii U, this could happen)
19 - Yoshi's Story
20 - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
21 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
22 - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
23 - Super Smash Bros.
24 - Bomberman Hero
25 - 1080° Snowboarding
26 - Wave Racer 64
27 - Paper Mario
28 - Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber
29 - Bomberman Hero
30 - Quest 64 (Konami would happily allow this one)

Now for the ones that would have issues:
1 - Mario Party (despite being owned by Nintendo, the Mini Games that involve rotating the stick are the issue).
2 - Star Wars: Racer (bloody Disney)
3 - Battle Tanx: Global Assault (not sure who owns the license for this one).
4 - Irritating Stick [insert long Japan title] (licensing issues with the show).
5 - Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing (bloody EA)
6 - Bust-A-Move 2 (not sure who owns the license for this one).
7 - Diddy Kong Racing (They would have to do what they did in the DS release and replace Conker and Banjo)

Finally! I've been meaning to pick up Animal Corssing, but all the second hand copies have been expensive. Great news!

@Fuz
Well the wedding is a one life opportunity. You can play Pokémon GO any time. Not that I plan on watching it.

@Anti-Matter
Well people in the UK are more interested in the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. While the Nintedo Switch is doing well, I don't know that many people who own a Switch (well it's more than the Wii U).

The posters will make it aware to people in London that Super Mario Odyssey exists. Such a fantastic game!

Well free advertisement for the Nintendo Switch, so yay!

I'll be too busy competing in the Splat Fest. Come on Donnie!

Really looking forward to Mario Tennis Aces! I hope it's a smash hit!

@immensechicken
I have one piece of advise for you, buy One Piece!

Nintendolife really are stretching the news content today!

@CutePearl
But you can choose what weapon to use. Don't like the blasters? Just pick the rollers!

@ImagineerNik
Basing on the leaked PS4 update, there is a V1.04 update that fixes issues and adds stuff like transitions for all levels. A DLC Store will be added as well. So the characters and encore mode you will have to buy separately.

I've already been doing that!

It's amazing how small the cartridges are now, but hold a good amount of data!

So where's the Xbox One on this?

Basically, the Switch version is getting a physical copy? YAY!

DuckTales on the Game Boy wasn't that great. A weak port of the NES version that had slow down and was clunky to control.

Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun is a decent port of the arcade / console version. Fantastic puzzle game (better than Tetris, yeah, I said it)!

Playing Billy Hatcher & The Giant Egg. Some might say it's an eggcellent game!

Are the Xbox One and PS4 becoming port systems now? This is terrible news! Bad ports, bad!

Cool for those who like to push a button to bring up a map.

What a nice surprise! WarioWare on the GBA / DS was awesome!

#TailsandKnucklesforSmash

Now we just need more information.

The PS4 version was awesome, and I've been waiting for a Switch / Xbone One release. Since the Switch can use GameCube controllers, that makes the Switch version a must buy for me!

Don't really play PC games, so a Switch release is cool. I may pick it up, but there are much better download games out there like The Mummy Demastered.

The ones I'm interested in:
Penny Punching Princess
Atelier Lydie and Suelle
Wild Guns Reloaded
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Day One Edition
Gal Gun 2
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (or I may just get the Wii U version)
Blade Strangers
Mario Tennis Aces
Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
Bayonetta 3

Some good titles to look forward to.

Well time to grab those bargains! Shame Toys R Us is going as their prices / stock on games was really good. Anyone remember the amiibo crisis? Well the one in Peterborough had plenty in stock. Just a shame to get to Peterborough Toys R Us you have to drive out of the town center to get there.

I still remember getting Crash Bash on PS1 from there, and such a fun game it was. Shame I lost it. Also remember seeing a Mario Party 4 demo there, which was awesome.

I think I bought Crush 3D on the Nintendo 3DS for £5, brand new from Toys R Us. Good times.

I think the problem is this being on a Nintendo system. I'm not complaining that Nintendo do own Bayonetta, but there were a lot of people unhappy it didn't get a Xbox One / PS4 release and were not interested in getting a Wii U. The same people most likely don't own a Switch ether.

I'm more looking forward to Bayonetta 3!

People like EA games and their loot-crate boxes? This is no big lose.

4-player co-op shooter! Interesting.

Magical Drop 3 is an awesome puzzle game! Must buy!

I suspect something else would have made the pain appear, but hey, the Switch helped! Good thing it has been diagnosed and the tumor can get removed.

@Nincompoop
Yeah, he totally got that tumor by "playing" with himself. Idiot...

No more amiibos Nintendo! My wallet can't handle it!

I'm not totally against download titles, but without a demo to try, I'm not that keen at throwing £12 for a download title I may not like. I've been very carefully every since paying £40 for Monster Hunter on 3DS (since physical was out of print) and disliked the game (again, that was down to my taste, not the game being bad).

It does look like an interesting take on the Metroid style gameplay. Maybe I'll get it later on.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

It baffles me that Sonic Forces runs perfectly on the Switch (it basically plays like the Xbox One version), let games like Rime and WK2 Wreslting 2017 just suffer from slowdown.

Bad programming from the sounds of it.

Glad I waited for a physical version to be released. You can't beat those box covers!

Looks like Guitar Hero, but with buttons. I'm happy with Superbeat Xonic which puts a twist on the rhythm genre.

Picking video game sound tracks over "real" sound tracks? Why not? Really wish video game sound track was taken as seriously and played more on the radio.

Tony Hawke 2 on the Gameboy Color had some really good title music, really amazing for a 8-bit tune. Then I played the game...
