We are currently living in a world where they allow disposable battery powered electronic cigarettes but you need paper straws with your drink in McDonald's
That's about 3 stars too high... Are NL obliged to give a positive number of stars in reviews? Seems NL reviewers might be taking some under-the-table money from EA (edit, not being serious about the bribe part)
Jackbox got me through lockdown as we could play remotely. If you had it on PC you could play remotely just by streaming/sharing your screen over zoom/Facebook/YouTube/twitch... My switch version then could be streamed similarly using a capture card
I remember game in Ireland used to use their own box designs as shelf placeholders for a few months before they got the official boxed games in, could be that or something similar from another retailer?
Fixed an issue where players could obtain certain Pokémon twice instead of once only as intended, prohibiting the player from obtaining other certain Pokémon. The relevant Pokémon will appear for players who were unable to catch those certain Pokémon due to this issue.
A very cloak and dagger description, anybody know what it refers to?
@Dfua82 my sub is due to expire in May but I used a code from CD keys last May to buy it, be interesting to see what my upgrade options are when I get home
Pro Rated discount is 5c/day on Single member sub and 9c/day on family sub. So over 365 days they are valuing the subs at €18.25 and €32.85 respectively so you're losing about 6-8% of the value of your old subscription by upgrading... I think Nintendo got this wrong, very wrong
Also: If you bought your online sub via a code in a game store you don't get the discount at all!
While Xbox and Playstation get the latest and greatest, switch owners get regurgitated games from 2 generations ago... Starting to get a bit sick of it to be honest

Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
If 12 months of regular is €20, for that you get 4 services, NES, SNES, online gaming and 2 for €99 vouchers
So for 2 services €10 seems fair in my mind
