Need a new Hori Switch Pad Pro sharpish.

Insane they haven't got one ready yet.

For 2D platformers and general dpad use they are perfectly functional but for fighting games, absolutely useless. And that's is one of my main genres so yeah it is an issue.

@h3s

Turbo is Street Fighter 2 perfected, but the original is still an absolute classic.

Great story. And I was pretty much the same age when I got my SNES/Street Fighter 2 bundle for Christmas (though maybe about 94). Treasured it.

My folks were also awesome enough to get me some proper hidden gems like Mystical Ninja and Plok alongside the console. And Sim City!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Rather have Rare Replay and Killer Instinct.

Nice.

A Switch 2 version of GRID Autosport would be cool too. And Alien Isolation (both Feral ported titles).

That's not like NightDive at all.

Confident they will have a patch out for it soon.

If they aren't significantly cheaper then most third parties will still use Game Key Cards regardless of game size.

@TomSupreme

Yep. And it is actually a far superior solution to code in a box as the games have re-sell value. I genuinely don't understand the hubbub around it.

Switch 2 carts are crazy expensive, this was probably the only way Nintendo could convince third party's to release games physically.

@topsekret

Looks like you will be missing out on a lot of games then.

@John_Deacon

Even though it is digital game it comes packaged with the console so is considered a physical purchase.

Edit: I see others have already answered your query.

Mario Kart World at number 1 means a lot of Switch 2 consoles are getting sold.

Metroid Prime 4 will still be a sales success relative to the series' historic sales.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga having 0% sales on Switch is hard to believe.

Praise Jeebus!

@vio

So do I to be fair, it had some good shark action in it. Same for Revenge, it is in no way a good movie but is in the so bad its funny territory.

But if ever a film series was the definition of diminishing returns it is Jaws!

Where did those Switch 2 numbers come from!? Big stock increase?

A shame about Metroid Prime 4 but it is the Japan equivalent of Kirby Air Riders in UK.

Jaws 2 was great.

Not as good as Jaws (very little is) but much better than it had any right to be.

Poor Marge.

The footage in the trailer was captured on PC so adjust expectations accordingly.

@WoomyNNYes

Switch 2 could get Horizon 5 since it had a very playable Xbox One S version which Switch 2 could easily replicate.

Good additions but would have been the perfect time for Diddy Kong Racing, it is a great Christmas time game.

That's very respectable return for a series that doesn't sell in massive numbers and has been advertised pretty much exclusively for a new console with a much smaller userbase.

Should go on to sell a few million and be one of the biggest sellers in the Metroid series.

@AllBLK

I have always found them to be incredibly fair to all platforms.

Some people just can't stand hearing the slightest criticism of something they love even if it is completely accurate.

Was never in doubt.

Retro are the 60fps Kings.

That would be embarrassing for Netflix. They even sent me an email bragging about the deal!

@UpsideDownRowlet

His later "rainbow flags for everyone" comment revealed the predictable truth and the "I don't buy from outside America" comment revealed the predictable intelligence.

@Spider-Kev

Truegamer was the one who felt the need to bring their politics into this chat in the first place.

Your lot just can't resist it and the rest of us are sick of all the constant crying.

@Truegamer79

"I don't buy from outside America anyway."

😂😂😂

Sums it up.

@Elektrogeist1287

"Netflix should go out of business."

Yes I'm the mental one.

@Elektrogeist1287

It very much was.

Or you were just wishing hundreds of thousands out of jobs because you don't like streaming services?

How nice of you!

@Elektrogeist1287

"Anything I don't like shouldn't exist!"

Last year's event was a painful watch.

Plus I don't care about the actual awards just on lookout for any interesting game trailers.

This time I'll get an early night and check out the trailers the next day.

We all, ALL, need the GOAT fixed and everything else needs put on the backfoot until that is done.

I am of course talking about Resident Evil 4.

BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND

@ThatOneLevel

Prime 4 will do decent. Not Mario levels but will make top 10, perhaps even top 5.

@PikminMarioKirby

Cheers for reply.

People like what they like. If we all liked the same thing then games like Kirby Air Riders likely wouldn't even exist.

We should embrace peoples' different tastes. Not criticise it!

@PikminMarioKirby

I refer you to my comment above for the last sales numbers for games in your country.

You're not much better.

Actually you're worse.

@squiddu-real

I'm sorry you read it that way as that comment was very much meant as a joke!

As for the new account guy.....yeah. Not much to add to what you said!

@jfp

How can you not love the puffball!?!

But here it's exact same as with the new Zelda Musou game. I love the LoZ series but I hate that genre of games so I was never gonna pick it up despite how much a fan of Zelda I am.

But it's great the games exist for the people who will enjoy them.

@jfp

Just to be clear. That guy's not with me!

Firstly I don't need anyone else to talk for me.
Secondly I have no issue with people enjoying the game, nor am I denying it's well made. It just doesn't appeal.

I do take issue with people criticising others for not buying it even though it was always gonna be a niche title here. And I especially take exception to this DaisyUSA character slagging off the UK's purchasing choices when the USA is categorically worse using their own examples of what they consider the "issues" are.

Odd they didn't reply to me.....

Also the tongue is firmly in cheek for the majority of my comments here.

@beltmenot

If it was thrown at me it could hurt me. Especially if it gets in my eye.

@LazyDaisy

Again. Look at your own country's charts.

Let me help you - USA October sales:

1. Battlefield 6
2. Pokémon Legends: Z-A*
3. Ghost of Yotei
4. NBA 2K26
5. EA Sports FC 26
6. Madden NFL 26
7. The Outer Worlds 2
8. Little Nightmares 3
9. Digimon Story: Time Stranger
10. Borderlands 4

How original and creatively exciting....

3 titles that qualify as your "EA slop". One more than the UK chart top 10. And a 2K sports title that would make EA look reasonable. Plus only one Nintendo title.

Glass houses and all that.

@Yosher

I'm glad you're enjoying it. But it just is most definitely not for me.

@Duncanballs

Kirby should be apologising to me for being in such an unappealing game!

@cylemmulo

Not really. I mean right after that there is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and GTAV which I'm pretty sure God was playing when he rested on the 7th day.

@Duncanballs

Apologise for what? They could be giving it away and I still wouldn't take it.

Doesn't look fun, just a chaotic mess.

@Truegamer79

When it comes to console wars I'm Mac from Always Sunny. I play all sides!

@Truegamer79

Not sure about the "serious gamer" part (I play for fun!) but yes, if you want the best of all worlds and can afford it then own all the consoles.

I need my Killer Instinct 2013 fix and my Astro Bot fix just as much as my Mario fix.

@romando

"There is room to improve even if they want to keep the hybrid design."

Not for $500 there isn't.

Also it is clearly a model that works for Nintendo. If you want the "AAA" games performing at their best then PS5 and Series X is there for you.

@Discostew

Yes I know. Pretty much the only reason people have clinged to for why Nintendo has enforced their ridiculous UI border is they want people knowing any footage shown of the games confirms it is via their online sub. Widescreen gameplay removes that reason.

So black borders now please.

@John_Deacon

Switch 3 now with black borders for 4:3 games!

Truly a killer app!

@flummerfelt

It truly is baffling.

Especially when some Gamecube and N64 games have widescreen options that can hide the awful UI.

Just give us the option.
