@Kiz3000 FIFA is likely back due to retailer promotions around the Easter break.
I'm surprised Kirby didn't stay Top 10 last week as I thought it would be a title parents would be picking up for their kids whilst schools are closed.
@AndyC_MK111 It's definitely a pipe dream but even a lot of the Gamecube and Wii titles being available digitally on Switch would be a huge starting point.
GameStop's business has been a mess for years, pandemic or not. It's a real pity as there's definitely an audience for a physical game's retailer but their focus on "loot", ripoff prices and, more recently, NFTs, means they're not somewhere I ever want to shop.
@Axecon Not really. Pokemon is one of the biggest franchises of all time in Japan whereas Horizon is a Western-developed action-adventure title. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
@Aezetz I appreciate the time you took to look back at my old posts but I'm not sure it's super relevant to what I posted. Pokemon Go is hugely successful and a title I enjoy but I also recognise that it's free to play and Niantic can make even more money from it should they so choose. They're not running a charity but a game's company.
Considering BOTW struggled to have a stable frame rate when there was a lot of grass on-screen it's not too surprising it also took other developers an age to get around the issue!
As a life long Nintendo fan it really must be said that they are one of the most anti-consumer companies I've ever seen. They may 'listen' but they certainly don't act on player feedback.
I am genuinely baffled as to why anyone would ever pay for an NFT. At least with an over-priced physical/collector's item you get something for your money.
Very curious to see how the OLED model impacts Switch's sales in Japan. Will its sales be combined with the existing unit or broken out like Switch Lite?

Re: Square Enix Rolls Out Chocobo GP Version 1.0.5, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I really wanted to buy this game until all the scummy microtransactions came to light. Hope it was worth it Squeenix.

Re: Random: Chrono Cross Director Rereleased Radical Dreamers To Stop Scalpers
@Bunkerneath Nintendo need to do this with about 90% of their back catalogue.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Sets Record As Biggest LEGO Game Launch
@AndyC_MK111 They post the same nonsense in most posts, there's not much point engaging with them.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide
@BloodyMurder How is being the best selling game in the series considered 'bad' sales?
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sales Soar In The UK
I'm so jealous of those gamers getting to experience it for the first time.
Re: UK Charts: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Gobbles Up The Top Spot
@Marios-love-child In the best way possible if feels like a re-skinned 2.5D Mario game.
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Bags The Franchise's Biggest UK Launch
GamesIndustry.biz also report that it sold 2.5x the amount of Kirby Star Allies, a terrific result overall.
Re: UK Charts: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Gobbles Up The Top Spot
Well deserved. I've never played a Kirby game before but I'm having an absolute blast with it.
Re: Konami's Mario And Animal Crossing Killer 'Momotaro Dentetsu' Surpasses 3.5 Million Sales
It's strange they haven't localised it for Western markets given the title's huge success.
Re: Will The Zelda-Style 'Tunic' Come To Nintendo Switch? Let's Hope So
It looks like something that would really appeal to a Nintendo audience (me included) and I'd be really surprised not to see it make it to the Switch.
Re: UK Charts: Multiple Switch Games Surge Into The Top 10 Behind Gran Turismo
@Anti-matter glad to see shovelware sales are alive and well.
Re: Tencent Acquires Majority Shareholding Of RiME Developer Tequila Works
I was so looking forward to Rime. It looked beautiful and had so much potential but it ran like ass on the Switch which is a real pity.
Re: Random: Even Tingle's Creator Thinks He's A Bit Creepy
How rude.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Criticises GameStop Management's Lack Of "Articulated" Strategy
GameStop's business has been a mess for years, pandemic or not. It's a real pity as there's definitely an audience for a physical game's retailer but their focus on "loot", ripoff prices and, more recently, NFTs, means they're not somewhere I ever want to shop.

Hopefully he sells it back to them as a time-limited NFT.
Re: Switch Hits Hang Tough As Elden Ring Takes Over UK Chart
It's worth mentioning that Arceus actually rose 5% in sales week-on-week. Likely the half-term effect.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Exclusive 'Touken Ranbu Warriors' Claims Top Spot On Its Debut
@Axecon Not really. Pokemon is one of the biggest franchises of all time in Japan whereas Horizon is a Western-developed action-adventure title. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
Re: UK Charts: Pokemon Legends: Arceus Still On Top Despite Release Of Dying Light 2
@AlexOlney A game can play well and still look ugly as is the case with Pokemon Legends.
Re: Nintendo "Has Interest" In NFTs And The 'Metaverse'
Please no. Fans and developers do not want this.
Re: Dreamcast Star 'Kao The Kangaroo' Is Making A Surprise Comeback On Switch
Looks promising, hopefully reviews are good.
@Anti-matter the song was a UK top 3 and big hit internationally. There's more to life than DDR.
Re: Mario Kart 9 Is "In Active Development" And Comes With A "New Twist", Analyst Claims
@ModdedInkling Or an open-world karting game, again similar to Diddy Kong Racing.

Re: ICYMI: Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Is A Whopping 93% Off On The eShop
It's tempting but the PS3-era graphics and brown colour pallette really put me off.
Re: Pokémon GO Might Be Getting Google Ads, And Fans Aren't Happy
Pokemon fans unhappy about something? I for one am shocked.
All jokes aside, it's a free to play game. Ads are inevitable.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity's Development Was A Real Pain In The... Grass
Considering BOTW struggled to have a stable frame rate when there was a lot of grass on-screen it's not too surprising it also took other developers an age to get around the issue!
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Officially The Worst Switch Game Of 2021, According To Metacritic
@Anti-matter Because Taxi Chaos was a bad, cheap and mobile-looking game. It's a shame as had a lot of potential.
Re: UK Charts: Among Us: Crewmate Edition Makes Top 10 Debut In Another Good Switch Week
@GoldstoneVillas Unfortunately they rarely, if ever, get published for markets other than Japan.
Re: New Pokémon Legends: Arceus Trailer Introduces Hisui's Clans And Merchants
People complaining about the music as if Pokemon audio hasn't always been dire 😂

@Savage_Joe Because December doesn't exactly look like a vintage release month for Switch owners 😂
Re: New Pokémon HOME Update Fixes Issues On Mobile, Here Are The Patch Notes
The app is still lacking some really basic features that should be prioritised like being able to release Pokemon when using the mobile version.
Re: UK Charts: Black Friday Deals See Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Back At Number One
@Outerdragon Battlefield fell to #12.
Metroid Dread also had a good climb to #23.

Re: Feature: 10 Overlooked GameCube Gems You Must Play
PN03 is crying out for a remaster, I remember it being visually stunning back in the day and would love a HD version.
It was tricky to grasp but so satisfying when you did.

Re: Niantic's New Pikmin Game Has Been Downloaded 2 Million Times In Two Weeks
I love Pikmin and enjoy Pokemon Go but have zero interest in this title unfortunately.
Re: Doug Bowser (Kind Of) Addresses Complaints About Switch Online's Nintendo 64 Emulation
As a life long Nintendo fan it really must be said that they are one of the most anti-consumer companies I've ever seen. They may 'listen' but they certainly don't act on player feedback.
Re: Here's How To Get Mew And Jirachi In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl
Remember when Legendaries were actually fun to catch? Sigh.
Re: Zelda: BotW, Super Mario 64 And Pokémon GO Shortlisted For The Golden Joystick 'Ultimate Game Of All Time' Award
I enjoy Pokemon Go purely because it is addictive and has the Pokemon license but to be nominated for this award is laughable.
Mario 64 has aged like milk.
Re: Square Enix Is The Next Company To Embrace NFTs And Blockchain Gaming
I am genuinely baffled as to why anyone would ever pay for an NFT. At least with an over-priced physical/collector's item you get something for your money.
