Which ever way - just release the damn games - especially Wii ones. I hate the NSO drip feed, I like the 4k upgrades, I don’t want to pay £17 for something I already own, but I do want it. £17 is exactly the sort of price I can swallow without it being too much, very clever Nintendo!

fun = money.

I’ll give this a go, although I own on PlayStation, I’ll play this beta and see how it tracks. Would be fun for some VF handheld!

When I preordered the game even said “a small update will be required on release to play the game”. So it’s a day 1 update + release date key IMO

@DennyCrane bamboozled picture? Boston legal reference with Denny Crane? You sir tick all the right boxes and I take my hat off to you, have a puff on a cigar and a whisky!

I recently bought a virtual pinball and have been playing the three different Pokemon pinball supplied with it. Good fun! I do wish I had the room, the money, and the floorboards for a real pinball - remember these things are considered freight for a reason -they weigh multiple hundred kg!

I always loved the Japanese one of these. Just think it’s really stylish, but by the looks of things I’m in a minority as usual!

Price expectations? Probably going to be £85-90 surely?

Defo Europe! So much more stylish, not sure why they didn’t do it everywhere other than timing I guess (Japan and US versions would have been earlier that the Europe one).

Surely this means the strategy for update for this game is a paid for add on + switch 2 update? I can hold off playing this for a bit to see if the announce anything (lots of games to play), but common Nintendo!

I wonder if the keys will yellow like my Dreamcast has?

Too much money for these, people have far too much disposable income to afford these!

Would be great if they released Wii games on NSO, I would love the original bowling as for some reason it still plays better than the modern one. Also Nintendo music as I completely missed that one the first time around!

@SplatRay001 getting a bit app tastic isn’t it? Why have one app harvesting data when you can have several I suppose!

@automatom tbh I would have not spotted that in a long while without it being pointed out to me. I struggle to see the “T” though, maybe that’s my dyslexia. Still, now you mention it, it’s become a little bit more obvious the design choice of this one

I guess this specific one, unopened will be worth some money in 20years time (because no one will buy it). But I can’t be arsed to wait that long! If you don’t own a switch 2 and you missed out on the Mario bundle, I still think it’s a better “new console” game than this Pokémon one so probably cheaper to buy the console + Mario kart than this edition

Strongest line ups yet! I may get these finally

They left off super Mario run 35, which I actually would like back tbf as I didn’t really play it that much before it disappeared. Maybe Mario run 40?

@RenanKJ I agree with this, the wiimote and nunchuck did feel better. But don’t worry, Nintendo will have you covered with a £70 wiimote switch 2 accessory, coming later this year!*

*totally made up, but I suspect they will do this at some point along with NSO additions excluding smg/smg2.

Even though I emulate these I might buy them as well, as it’s nice to have it part of a collection like this. Question is, physical or digital? Digital suits the short sharp nature of playing a fighting game, but a cart supports resale and the future. Choices…

That kirb is getting about the place huh?

I like the idea of groundhog loop for this type of thing, that’s cool. Hopefully they do it for something less intense than a horror theme as that’s not really my bag, but for someone who likes that theme I hope they enjoy. I guess I would to see this in a samurai theme, still with violence, but could do a whole double cross backstory and even in black and white. That I would play for sure!

I was too busy smashing stuff up to notice this - thanks!

@Yosher they probably will tie that in with a switch 2 game update or a new game if that happens…

Going full Kirby at the moment! However Mario is jealous and is about to attack with Mario 40. Who will win? FIGHT!

Screamer maybe?

Hiya, as this is 7 out of 10, are there any sim games like this that are high scoring that scratch my super market like strategy (can be any sim) itch which at the same time being chill? Thanks!

@BrokenCiv I use either the inbuilt safari content blocker or ad guard, makes the site usable from that point. Also worth considering paying for a subscription to remove the ads as well

I would much rather see a tekken collection of tekken 4-6 + tag games. At least those would be complete games with winnable characters (no DLC); that then don’t get broken over time. Surely this would be a nice cash grab for bamco but the developers of t8 are so obnoxious and stubborn we may never see this out of principle

Great, now I need a new baby to go along with these block sets! Would have bought these when my little one was little, now it’s not the thing I should be buying…. Tempted

@Shepdawg1 I’m trying not to spoil but that sounds great

I did notice this straight away and it’s very noticeable with a HDR HGIG OLED tv. I love the game, I’ve been trying to avoid knowing the other bananzas beyond the first three and find out when I get there with them! Got quite a few levels to go so can’t wait!

I guess this would help the palworld legal case as the Pokémon company themselves are doing exactly the same thing… oh well

Can’t stand the “blast em all” phrasing on the Japanese version, not exactly sure what your blasting with that description!

@KingChiliPepper thanks, redeemed directly on the switch and all good. Redeeming on the website didnt work

Anyone else’s download code not working? Just tried it with no luck and not sure what to do, I guess wait? Otherwise do I contact Nintendo somehow?

Well this Sunday has become a bit more interesting! As a bit of a furry, my fav is #2 but #3 is also nice.

They could add the songs as dlc so therefore paying off the addition royalties cost? Annoying for the consumer but it would be a way round this issue. Nothing stopping you playing the game with music turned off and playing the original tracks from a streaming provider also!

Still going for a movie tie in for the next Mario game and movie, which is scheduled for April next year. But only time will tell!

Owch, well I won’t be getting this one then!

I wonder how much crocs actually cost to make? I’m going to guess in the pennies and to then charge £60 for a pair… thing is, the Nintendo market is one with cash, so these will sell like hot cakes. Good move Nintendo!

The wondering village has an age of empires 2 style vibe to it, I’ll take a look once it’s released and see what it’s reviewed at.

So if Nintendo have highlighted games like this, does this mean we won’t get a direct? Or if we do, they will be first party focused for new unannounced games? Time will tell!

That’s actually a reasonable price and I would hope that encourages more people to buy it. However, it does feel a bit like destruction all stars on the ps5, which was great for a very brief window before no one played it, and that was free with the ps plus subscription. Makes me wonder if Nintendo will add another Nso tier eventually have these for free along with welcome tour, but one can dream!

Was playing Mario sunshine from the Mario 3d collection yesterday and it was a bit of a shock to go back to 30 or 50 fps rather than smooth 60 like everything else on the switch 2. Hopefully when they add sunshine to switch 2 game cube version it’s 60fps minimum!

Ironically I just deleted this yesterday because I’m starting to run out of space. I’ve now set to redownload and I’m looking forward to playing! Weird I think I’ve played my switch 2 games wise more than my total time with my steam deck. It’s a brilliant machine!

@Theghostofkeithmoon they are all cracking films. The kid with the golden arm, house of traps and all the main ones like five elements ninja are all great watches. I’m waiting if the shawbrothers blue ray volume 3 collection to come down!

Wow I love the Japanese one, not seen that before and it’s bloomin lovely! Really hoping for Dreamcast games to be released on the switch 2, it will become my favourite console of all time mk2 after the Dreamcast!

I just use a switch case with a few carts within. When I travel I use my switch case which has room for said case. Not need for another bit of plastic!

LRG: a fall from such a high position into the turmoil that it is now. Funny how it’s Nintendos issue here and not their code. Hopefully everyone has now steered clear of LRG and started using other much more quality providers.

That’s a nice and odd feature to hide! Very Nintendo there. I’m more interested in how this person got the switch 2 to be instantly on a tv while in portable mode, any idea what are they using there?

I’ve been upset by free roam not being local multiplayer! I really hope they add this in as an add on because me and my son really wanted to roam around together. I hope they add this quick as he will loose interest quick and then that ship will have sailed. Sad Nintendo!

My steam deck defo had a smell which was enjoyable probably for the wrong reasons like some kind of toxic nature. The switch 2 is far more subtle smell but there is something there.

I think I’m in love with the form factor though, it’s much lighter than the deck but the screen is massive without a seemingly massive perimeter edge and the way the joy cons click in and off is really something brilliant.
