And this is why having a physical option for a game is a good thing; price competition. Customers get a better deal! Go digital-only, and you're stuck paying whatever Nintendo tell you to pay.

Nintendo becoming more arrogant and greedy than even Sony this gen is quite ridiculous.

I'll stick with the 3DS original. None of this "game key" rubbish.

I'm struggling to see the point of mouse mode when we had pointer controls on the Wii?

Just like the Wii U gamepad had. Hopefully we'll have non-crap analogue sticks and d-pads in the next controllers too.

Fantastic final announcement. I've been longing for a new Tomodachi Life!

Also happy to note what sounds like a separate UK localisation again in the Nintendo UK version of the video!

I must be on a totally different wavelength to the majority of people here. I thought it was a solid 8/10 at least. Tomodachi Life, Rhythm Paradise, Everybody's Golf, Patapon, New AI spinoff, and Marvel Cosmic Invasion all looked great to me. Plus some cool indies and more Metroid and Pokémon info.

Poor show from Sega America, as usual. Hopefully this will get a proper European release like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT did.

Cool, looking forward to it. It's a shame Nintendo are still using X to announce these things, though. I'd have hoped them (and Nlife) wouldn't want to support the platform.

So the usual non-statement from TPC. They simply don't care about there fans. They only care about selling more.

I still need to play 3 and X, but so far they're all top-drawer games. The best series on Switch. Impossible to choose a favourite.

Also, Operation Rainfall was a campaign to bring Xenoblade (and The Last Story and Pandora's Tower) to North America, not "The West". Nintendo Europe already released the games here of their own accord.

@Maulbert I did. As usual, when something is being localised outside of Japan, Americans are pandered to, and to hell with the rest of The West. Nothing new.
@Lanmanna I said nobody else in the west cares about baseball.

@DarthXenos Well, baseball was never going to work. Nobody outside of America really cares about that.

America isn't the whole of "The West", so your title should really read 'Pokémon Almost Became A "Gritty" Baseball-Themed RPG In the USA'.

@Obi-WonTheHighGround Congrats on voting in a fascist, I guess. Enjoy.

@Ultimapunch Yep, Americans think they're the centre of the world. Just try to get Japan to stop producing physical games. Lol.

America isn't the whole world. I don't see why these tariffs should affect games sold in other countries.

Still waiting to hear what the new content is before blindly buying it again. Hopefully some new story stuff.

It sounds lovely, but how does it differ from the first game? I loved Ender Lillies, but if this is just more of the same, then I don't see too much point in playing it. Can we get some comparisons?

Good to see, and glad Nintendo aren't being pushed around by some very miserable people. I typically just ignore anyone who uses the word "woke" in a serious manner. They're not really worth listening to.

@Smithicus A trans person existing isn't political. Nintendo haven't gone against their anti-political stance.

We already knew it existed. This just confirms it. There isn't really anything to discuss until the Direct in April. So it's been pretty much a non-event so far. Just average.

What a surprise; England only.

I'll grab the physical when it releases!

@Bulborb Yes, I do trust P. And Nintendo aren't saying to be careful, they're saying don't do it at all. But as they've ended the official service, their faux caring rings pretty hollow. If they really cared, there would still be an official service, even if it was now paid for.

How about I do, anyway? Nintendo shut down the official online services. They've no right to dictate how people use the consoles they paid for.

You can get the same game right now on Wii or 3DS for £8 out of CEX. Even the £36 Curry's are charging for this is more than 4x the price for the same game. Not worth it.

Of course not when it's 3 times the price they charged for it as a Selects title on 3DS, with no new content. Nintendo have done this far too often on the Switch.

I mean, feel free Sega. It'll just be less money for you from me, as I don't buy any subscription services. No ownership, not interested.

It's published by Marvelous/Xseed though. Why can't it get a proper release?

Whilst I did notice input lag on Sonic 1 and 2, I haven't noticed it on anything on any others.

It's another previous Selects title being sold for full price. Nintendo would have to cut the price in half, at least, for me to even consider it.

You got bored of a 30 second, cutesy animation? Says more about your attention span than anything else. Explains a few reviews.

FPG are lying through their teeth. Do not give them any money, and pursue refunds or legal action if necessary.

Some good games and sales here, but this list really highlights how many games NLife have overrated.

That's such a shame. I remember when Image & Form were a tiny start-up, passionately making Steamworld games. Such a shame that they're part of a soulless corporation now. If those at the top screwed up badly enough to sack 100 people, then they should be sacked too. It should be the CEO's job to protect their workers, not use them as fodder.

@Drommajin I still need to play Adventure 1 & 2. I hear they're great. Sonic Mania is really good if you enjoy 2D Sonic. I hope you enjoy it!

@Drommajin I played on Switch, yeah. Ended up putting a good 70 hours in, apparently! I loved trying to improve my times in the cyberspace levels. The Switch version certainly looks far worse than the other versions, but it still plays the same. I still enjoy playing Colours on the Wii, too. And I've never quite clicked with the controls and physics of Generations, but I'm trying it again recently, and I'm getting there. It's a shame Lost World and Forces were pretty poor, though.

@Drommajin We must have played different games. Frontiers was great!

Typical awful Japanese practices. You and your work belong to the company.

Pointless. Not putting up with more drip, drip, drip.

@Vordus Thanks for the info. Definitely no sale then.

Never heard of Rock It Games. Is this a US only release then?

Unfortunately drip, drip, drip once again.

@batmanbud2 I hope they do.

Unless they've removed the censorship or added more story content, then why would I buy an inferior version?

Have they improved the controls? No input lag? The original was awful, but that might just be the PS3 version.

My Switch is just generally running slower nowadays. Not sure if it's just age, or if there's something up with the SD card/slot.

Everything's the foreigners' faults in Japan.

Awesome! I wondered what the new update did. Can't wait to have another session on this soon!

"The game doesn't give us a chance to improve our fighting skills."
and
"There are too many random fights on the streets."
Well, which is it? If there's as many random small fights in between main ones as you want, then surely the game is giving you ample opportunity to learn its combat mechanics?
