Reviews all round seem positive on this one. Good news.

More crap from steam. Indie games are great but hardly support for Switch. Buy em up I guess. That's all we're getting it seems. *Sorry. Still annoyed by SE FFXV Pocket

Nintendo gamers: We want Triple A like FFXV
SquareEnix: Here's a mobile port you can also play on your phone
Nintendo gamers: That looks nice. I like the art style...and I don't like the original anyway.
SquareEnix: (rubbing hands)....lol

@Tate24 I'm not interested in Football games either and is certainly a shame that the success of Fifa will probably dictate EA's Switch line up going forward.

@FragRed Both been out for a while on other platforms. Reviews below.

In the absence of Wave Race, this is very much appreciated.

@MattFox I think people buying Fifa is important for future third party plans. Shame Pokken is releasing around the same time.

@speedracer216 Here you go

@AG_Awesome I imagine that is total. Whilst this is a brilliant result for Nintendo, you have to take into account the choice of games available. Sony et al have many games to choose from so sales are diluted across the titles. Switch gamers, however, are funnelled towards the big release of the month.

@BraveFencerZan Agreed. I'd love to see that 16 bit X-Men brawler on Switch.

Although I have only played with xbox controllers on PC, this game was great fun in short bursts with friends. A good match for Switch. Singleplayer is pretty much pointless though.

Glad to see another 8-bit platformer kickstarter project is coming to Switch.

Just buy from Amazon. UK site has them in stock anyway.

EA holding Switch owners to ransom. Buy FIFA or we wont support the system. Awesome.

@carlos82 Thanks for putting me straight. Done a bit of research on the matter and you are indeed correct. Not ideal, but better than I thought.

It is good to see the eshop get so many games. It's not good that they are tied to the console and will be lost if your console bricks. Look forward to buying them all again next time!

Edit: I have since been proved wrong. You can play your games on a different Switch as long as it is your "active" switch. You have to deactivate the original Switch first via the eshop. If this isn't possible (broken/sold), then you will need to contact Nintendo support.

@Octane I agree on your points. It's been expressly stated, however, that MHW is MH5.

A lot of salt on this topic. Capcom wants to make money. It is a business. It wants to bring its franchises to a wider audience and make use of modern tech. Switch is underpowered. PS4/XBOXOne have a larger userbase and similar architecture. It just makes sense. The Switch hasn't been out long. Surely most of you own one of the consoles MHW will be released on. Capcom has merely shown good business sense (they hope). Why don't we, as consumers, buy what we want and not start this campaign against a company though some ill-founded brand allegiance. It's just weird.

Great news. Enjoyed the first game, but still not completed it.

@Pazuzu666 Usually I would agree. However, the only place my games cases are polluting is my attic. They will be worth something one day.....one day

@RadioShadow Thanks for that. Understood. Its a shame the Vita flopped as that would have solved all those problems with trophies and potential cross-buy for PS4.

@RadioShadow I asked another user about double dipping on another thread. I like the fact you are so enthusiastic about this game, but why get the Xbox version? This game will likely be identical on the Switch. Genuine question.

My guess is no physical release for any system.

Don't get it. If you own the system then you probably own the controllers anyway. If you want an extra controller, then this would be the player 2 controller...

@NickOfTime90 Thanks for your thoughts. Interesting seeing people's measures on this point.

@NickOfTime90 I'm interested in buying habits. Do you buy games you've owned before to play on a different system? What are your views on buying the same game twice vs buying two different games?

Check out the official website. There is one actual in game screenshot, but may give you a better idea.

@westman98 Switch has done well. Let's not forget, however, how long the PS4 been out for...still outsold Switch.

lol

I would care a lot less about Switch being underpowered if I was confident that all the digital games I bought were linked to my account so I could bring them with me onto future systems. At the moment, it is buy all the stuff, then...start again.

Miis and Rabbids are terrible. That is all. The actual game sounds good though!

@electrolite77 Agreed. More obstacles to play as we choose and we don't even know why. Does anyone know if Nintendo have commented on why they think this is the way to go?

@johncena I'm getting old obviously. Back in my day blah de blah...

What I don't get is that the Switch, and Nintendo in general, is very child friendly. Not sure how many children own smartphones...

@Zoda_Fett It's basically a meme now. I recommend not getting too worked up.

@TeslaChippie Wow. Hope you don't speak to people like that face to face. I gave my feedback in an honest manner. It is hard to be a Nintendo only website, because there isn't much to write about. The information is split to increase content, clicks and ad revenue. I get it, but it makes the website look amateur and may lead people to go and search out more diverse content elsewhere. Please don't respond until you learn how to talk like an adult without resulting to personal attacks.

I think the suits at GAME just think this is funny now. "What can we do to p*ss people off today?"

I love chocolate and banana together. Hopefully see something similar soon in the UK!

Slow news these days. Two already on a single games multiplayer event and three separate articles on the same single games merchandise. I like splatoon as much as the next guy, but having all this in one place (or two with merchandise) would be excellent. Thanks

Gameplay and Let's Plays already available on YouTube. Metacritic available for review.

@kuliddar Why not use the name of a businessman he respected trying to reverse the fortunes of Nintendo? He was holding up Iwata in a positive light as a proponent of positive change. I don't understand why he shouldn't complement someone just because they passed away. This whole business celebrity stuff needs to go. It drives people to regard the money men as idols and takes away from the product.

@GeminiSaint He never said anything literally killed Iwata. I know the language is complex, but he was actually complimenting Iwata, saying that he tried so hard to change Nintendo's way of thinking and it was figuratively killing him that he wasn't successful.

@MrYuzhai "The last thing I'll comment on is this douchebag saying how the switch / Nintendo killed Iwata.. that's beyond moronic and hideously distasteful."

Erm, he didn't.

@Tarolusa My days. He didn't refer to Iwata's death at all. He was saying it WAS killing him (figuratively speaking) that he could shift Nintendo's thinking. It like saying "After that run, my feet are killing me". It's a turn of phrase. We have all said it at some point.

@Grandpa_Pixel For goodness sake. Get a grip.

@TadpoleSHero He wasn't trying to be funny or smart. He was trying to empathise. Look it up.

"Personally, I think it killed Iwata; that he couldn't move the organisation into a really successful arena."

Some of you lot are just getting touchy for no reason. The guy is complimenting Iwata. He is saying Iwata wanted to move the organisation on, but he couldn't. It was metaphorically killing him. Just like it's killing me that some of you can't understand a basic expression. Aside from that, the guy from a fantastic developer pointing out how Nintendo could improve, so you lot can get more games. What's not to like?

This is getting silly now.

"The console's hybrid nature means that it offers console-quality visuals"
No. It doesn't. That's the entire point of this article.
