It will be interesting to see future attach rates when everyone has ten switches for their home and another three in their second home by the sea.

It would be more surprising if Nintendo weren't working on a new Donkey Kong to be honest.

@Malpais flounces and storms away

@bitleman Lol. Hope everyone else catches that sarcasm.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Great to see the boost in hardware sales with the release of Odyssey. Truly, many people want to get their hands on this game! Surprising turn out by Ark. Didn't know if was popular in Japan.

@BionicDodo I understand your point, but respectfully disagree.

Doom and Skyrim, whilst I'm happy to see them come to Switch, are just too expensive for my tastes. Both can be picked up at retail new for between £9.99-£19.99 on other consoles. £24.99 max should be the price for downgraded older ports in my humble opinion.

You will see zero scores off the back of any Triple A release. I do not agree with it, but users that score this low would argue it is to balance the sea of tens from other users. I dislike this practise, but then again, I also dislike straight tens for games that don't deserve it. I don't know what Odyssey deserves as I haven't played it, but framing low scoring reviews as being "salty". Noone has that much to lose from Mario Odyssey doing well, surely?!

@Spoony_Tech Writing new material maybe? I miss his taunts.

@retro_player_22 Not sure what you mean by PS4 needing the Pro to beat Switch hardware sales. They are different SKUs, but are effectively the same console. The jump in processing power and price aren't great, so new entrants to the PlayStation ecosystem would be better off buying a Pro over the standard model. Maybe I read your comment wrong, but imo you could and should lump the two together. Anyway, competition is healthy. Not too bothered who ends up on top as long as they are both doing well : )

A nice addition to the Switch's line up : )

@electrolite77 Sigh. Not you again. Read the title of the article, re-read my comment. If you don't agree, move along.

The tribalism is real on this article. I am surprised about the amount of games Switch has gathered over a relatively short amount of time, but aside from a few excellent examples, the majority are last gen ports or indies. Nothing wrong with either, but they shouldn't be the crown jewels of a new (ish) system.

Played it on PS4. Clumsy, dated and just not very good.

@DarkmarkUnited That would essentially mean every game comes on two cards...

@BJQ1972 An external solution would work wonders when docked. Obviously not ideal for portable mode. I haven't properly sat down to look at the best larger size SD cards, but would rather have as few as possible.

If 200GB is the cheaper option when buying multiple, then that is surely the way to go.

@JamesR I think that's the right approach to take. Bite the bullet and double down on the best storage you can afford. This isn't going to get better right!

@Anti-Matter I've found a handy list of all the weapons you can collect in Mario vs Rabbids. Think you can customise your loadout and everything.

They even took inspiration from Gears of War with the Boomshot : )

"We're thinking about it, but really doing something else"

@westman98 Its the new "go to" response for why something didn't sell well.

Most people who like Fifa, have bought a PS4/XBOXONE. Most people who like Switch probably aren't the FIFA demographic. Simples.

@Kalmaro You have a PC and a Switch. That's a great combo. I unfortunately don't have a decent PC so my only other option would be my PS4. It's interesting for me, but no more relevant than it is for you. Envious that you have the best of both worlds. Don't be annoyed : )

Liked the look of this series. The combat always put me off, but the art style is great imo

I really don't understand this. A complete non-issue on other systems. Article worthy on Switch.

@Gex91 It's disgusting. Basically loot boxes which are basically a form of gambling. Posted a thread about this on Pushsquare. Mod disagreed and archived it. Games media hates addressing this point. Games can sell stuff, sure. However, gambling money on maybe getting something you want is immoral and probably illegal.

@QwertyQwerty haha. Had me there for a second.

Looks like they made some smart considerations when porting this game. A great addition to the Switch line up.

The actual gameplay looks terrible. The car models are quite nice though!

Appreciate their efforts, but maybe should focus more on future games now.

@Cosats People have been gaming on Nintendo hybrid systems for years in that case. The below is a pretty fun article. There is a more recent youtube video of a GB Advance playing through the TV.

@8itmap_k1d If it's unfinished, it shouldn't be for sale...

Companies need to be penalised with poor scores for poorly performing games. Holding out for patches seems a little too forgiving. By all means update the review later, but the game should be graded on its current state, not withheld until some undetermined date in the future.

79 at the time of typing on Metacritic. Quite a good selection of reviews.

@Anti-Matter Different countries will always have differing demographics. I would be interested to see a similar chart for Indonesia. If the chart was Nintendo heavy, would we hear people calling the UK gamer out for going too far the other way? I doubt it. Let people enjoy what they want. This isn't a popularity contest, although I get how it can seem this way sometimes on this website.

Ports/Games we know about/Amiibo.

@Ensemen You mean I can play "Riding Stable: My Life" anywhere!!!!

I think a lot of it is to do with perception. The Switch is given the same amount of shelf space as second hand PS3 games (sometimes less) in GAME. If I didn't know better, I would presume the system was dead before it started. We don't all read Nintendo websites. Also, taste etc, but that has been covered in other comments.

Acheivements

Knack in the Top 10! Get in!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Far too positive. Colour me disappointed.

@Hrimfaksi I completely agree. If the Switch's library was as large as the competition, I would be impressed. It isn't, so kind of makes sense.

@BlueOcean UK Amazon store has Switches available regularly. I would suggest checking that. Pre orders are not needed anymore.

Incompetence masquerading as popularity.

I really like this rumour. Hope its true!

No Mans Skyride

@Powerballad I don't own this game, but watched a review. The art style does look great!

@dystome That's basically a participation award at this point. Second place to "Just Dance".

@electrolite77 Great response. Will take some time to digest that. The monopoly point, in particular, I didn't really think about.

@electrolite77 Hmm. I understand and agree with your all-encompassing third party definition. Can't argue with that. I presume you understood that he meant releases by non-indie developers. I also get that seasoned Nintendo gamers understand that THIS kind of third party support isn't to be expected. Is it right for that to be the status quo? Should we need to buy two consoles or a PC capable of gaming to enjoy both Nintendo games and larger third party games? Is this strategy right for Nintendo? Rather than being condescending, there are plenty of touch points for discussion. I like all games and would rather be able to access them all on one console.

@electrolite77 Are you sure you understand what he meant, or are you being deliberately facetious?

Hard to tell when reading typed comments, so apologies if I got the wrong end of the stick.
