Release a new console that's similar to the current one while the current one is still selling very well... It worked for the Wii so why wouldn't it work on switch?
I wonder if it will work with the switch... Amazon have a returns service second to none so if it were to drift for example you could be guaranteed your money back
Base were always known for selling games a little cheaper than other retailers, this could be why Nintendo don't want to supply them as they want to be seen as a "Premium" product
Either that or watch out for news tomorrow from Smyth's, Amazon and GameStop
[[The "include people searching for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon" option has been updated to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical and other special Pokémon."]]
You know the game itself looks alright, not fantastic but I'll probably download and play it, might even spend a few quid on it if I really like it...
However, it should have been part of last weeks direct, or just released today without any announcement, not given its own over-hyped one and I think that's where a lot of dislikes have come from... Sadly nintys actions have left a bad taste in peoples mouths so the game/app is destined to fail
Maybe it's because they only recently got their hands on a switch? Wait till they see how bad the online is after getting they will all be looking for refunds
I thought this was fantastic but the problem is still there, just did a search for poipole and people are still looking for lv1-10 poipole and nagandel... Just another fail by gamefreak
Im actually intrigued to see how this can/will be implemented... The way the switch is designed if you have multiple accounts each with their own saves
If the next gen Nintendo console is simply a ~€100 docking station that provides extra ram and processing power to the current model (obviously it would only for playing on TV) then I can see a lot of gamers getting behind that
I've tried stadia and have to say that with cloud gaming coming in I think the idea of a new console for ~€300-400 is not going to survive... Nintendo should stand back and let Sony and Microsoft find that out for them I think

What's the difference between snowmen and snowwomen? Snowballs 😁😁😁
Re: Nintendo Switch Sold More Than 1.3 Million Units In China This Year
Those numbers only include the tencent switch so probably only accounts for 20% of the figures
Re: New Restrictions Placed On Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
If you don't invest 20 years of your life's research, in a flux capacitor you don't deserve to timetravel... But that's just my 2c
Re: Black Friday Switch Sale Discounts Ice Age, Jumanji And More Family-Friendly Games (US)
Jumanji the video game... I'd be nervous to put it mildly
Re: Pokémon HOME - Pokémon GO Connectivity Is Now Live, It's Just Not Available To Everyone Yet
Just when you think Nintendo have learnt their lesson regards pissing off their loyal fans 🙄
Re: News Of COVID-19 Vaccine Causes Nintendo, Ubisoft And Activision Share Prices To Drop
Well the sticks enjoyed a huge increase at the start of it all so it's really just the markets resetting themselves
Re: With The DLC All Wrapped Up, Here Are The 234 Pokémon Still Unavailable In Sword And Shield
Still too many older gen Pokémon in there - should have expanded the number Gen8s and cut every other gen from the game
Re: Evidence Of Resident Evil 3: Cloud Version For Nintendo Switch Seemingly Uncovered
Fairly sure I remember this game from 1999... Making a cloud version seems pointless for a 21 year old game I'd think
Re: Talking Point: Cloud Gaming On Switch – The Pros And Cons Of The Cloud
Maybe it's more to do with the game itself but I don't panning the camera makes things very blurry on screen
Re: Control: Ultimate Edition Is Available Now On Switch, But There's A Catch
An opportunity to give cloud gaming a trial on switch at least
Re: SuperData: 3D All-Stars Is Now The Biggest Digital Launch For A Mario Game On Nintendo Switch

Re: Review: FIFA 21 - EA Insults Switch Owners Yet Again With This Half-Baked Effort
Any chance of a Soccer 2K game? Our better yet, Rugby 2k for the ones who like manly sport out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Re: Random: Amazon's Luna Controller Sure Does Look Familiar
I wonder if it will work with the switch... Amazon have a returns service second to none so if it were to drift for example you could be guaranteed your money back
Re: Looks Like Pokémon Sword And Shield's Physical DLC Bundle Will Cost $90
Makes me getting the DLC for under €25 pretty good right now
Re: Video: 17 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In October
FIFA? Exciting? Is it April 1st already?
Re: Pokémon GO Strips Away Stay-At-Home Safety Features In The Middle Of A Pandemic
I think their reason for these changes is because their biggest market is the Asian countries who are doing fairly well at knocking back COVID19
Re: A Pokémon Sword And Shield DLC Bundle Hits Stores This November
I can't see the DLC being on the physical cartridge, this is most likely the game with a code on a piece of paper in the box
Re: Online Retailer Cancels Orders For Super Mario 3D All-Stars Due To "Woefully Short" Supply
Base were always known for selling games a little cheaper than other retailers, this could be why Nintendo don't want to supply them as they want to be seen as a "Premium" product

Re: Pokémon HOME Updated To Version 1.2.1 On Mobile Devices, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
[[The "include people searching for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon" option has been updated to "Include people searching for Legendary, Mythical and other special Pokémon."]]
But these pokemon still can't be traded, right?
Re: Video: The Switch Is A Wii U Port Machine, And That's A Good Thing
Ports are great, there's nothing I like more than buying the same game twice
Re: Lots Of DOOM Games, Skyrim And Wolfenstein Are All 50% Off On Nintendo Switch (Europe)

Re: Nintendo Scraps The Sale Of Digital Game Download Codes At European Retailers
Interesting move, I can see it annoying a lot of big name retailers though
Re: The Pokémon Unite Presentation Has Already Been Disliked 150,000 Times
You know the game itself looks alright, not fantastic but I'll probably download and play it, might even spend a few quid on it if I really like it...
However, it should have been part of last weeks direct, or just released today without any announcement, not given its own over-hyped one and I think that's where a lot of dislikes have come from... Sadly nintys actions have left a bad taste in peoples mouths so the game/app is destined to fail
Re: Talking Point: Is EA's Switch Strategy Lazy, Or Simply Common Sense?
Nintendolife seem to be obsessed with EA lately... I wonder if there is money exchanging hands there
Re: Reminder: "Big" Pokémon Project To Be Revealed In Pokémon Presents Livestream Tomorrow
An update to their current games to fix the bugs would be pretty major at this stage
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield DLC Causes Notable Spike In Base Game Sales (UK)
Maybe it's because they only recently got their hands on a switch? Wait till they see how bad the online is after getting they will all be looking for refunds
Re: Did You Buy The Wrong Pokémon Sword And Shield DLC? Don't Worry, Nintendo Will Sort It Out
I definitely got the wrong one as I paid €30 for something worth about €5
Re: EA Wants To Bring More Games To More Platforms - Including Nintendo Switch
Lot of EA articles lately... Are nintendolife after picking up another revenue stream?
Re: Pokémon GO Is Ending Support For Older Android Devices
It's baffling in the day and age of cloud gaming app and game developers are still looking for high end devices
Re: Random: So Much For Level Scaling In Pokémon's Isle Of Armor DLC
Disappointed yes, surprised, not really... I wonder if when you beat the story in the expansion if they scale up again
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Mobile App Just Got Another Minor Update
I forgot the app existed actually... I use Facebook messenger video chat, much simpler
Re: Pokémon HOME Update Finally Gets Rid Of 'Impossible' Trade Requests
I thought this was fantastic but the problem is still there, just did a search for poipole and people are still looking for lv1-10 poipole and nagandel... Just another fail by gamefreak
Re: You Can Play Pokémon Sword And Shield's DLC Even If You Haven't Beat The Main Game
Game based on the UK, crown tundra is to be released in Fall, not autumn, fail lol
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Expansion Pass Is Getting A Physical Release In Korea
Very misleading headline, is somebody at NL taking lessons in headlines from the daily mail!
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Isle of Armor DLC Launches 17th June, Here's The New Trailer
Looks good but looks like a lot of recycled pokemon from older games instead of new ones
Re: Bethesda's Mobile Version Of Elder Scrolls Might Be Launching On Switch Next Week
Just what ever console owner wants... A mobile game 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Re: Shadow Man Returns From The Deadside Next Year In A Fully Remastered Release On Switch

Re: You Can Only Have One Island Per Console In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Im actually intrigued to see how this can/will be implemented... The way the switch is designed if you have multiple accounts each with their own saves
Re: Port Specialist Engine Software Thinks Switch Will Continue "To Do Well" Despite Arrival Of Next-Gen
If the next gen Nintendo console is simply a ~€100 docking station that provides extra ram and processing power to the current model (obviously it would only for playing on TV) then I can see a lot of gamers getting behind that
I've tried stadia and have to say that with cloud gaming coming in I think the idea of a new console for ~€300-400 is not going to survive... Nintendo should stand back and let Sony and Microsoft find that out for them I think
Re: Premium Range Of Pac-Man Merchandise Arrives To Celebrate The Game’s 40th Anniversary

Re: Nintendo France Will Repair Or Replace Faulty Joy-Con Even After The Warranty Has Expired
This should surely apply throughout the single European market, not just France I'd assume?
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Getting An Expansion Pass, And It Looks Mighty
€30 is cheaper than a new game and rather than starting your story all over again you get to carry your current save data over into new story's
On the other hand the game is notably much smaller than many other first party switch games in the first place
Re: Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa Thinks Cloud Gaming Is "A Long Way Off"
Assassin's creed Odyssey is region locked on switch... From that perspective alone cloud gaming can rightly piss off on a Nintendo based console
Stradia works nice and smoothly off my home broadband connection and no region locking, long may that continue
Re: Feature: Pokémon Sword And Shield: What UK Locations Are The Towns In Galar Based On?
The slumbering weald could be a reference to the dark hedges in Antrim (famous filming location of game of thrones https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Hedges)
Re: Nintendo's Taking Ring Fit Adventure On A Tour Of The UK & Ireland
