Now Nintendo are starting to understand what the players want. Pilotwings, Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, can't wait. Will it be another 12 months until they release N64 games?

"Navigating your ship across an open galaxy" - Gameplay looks 2D to me. Not really open IMO. I was hoping for another NMS/Everpsace/Subdivison style game.

If any Aussies get sick of looking at their Collectors Edition and feel the need to sell it and keep the game, let me know.

Regret not getting this when it was first announced. Already bought the game but if i come across the collectors edition ill definitely buy it. I'm already loving everything about the game: designs, setting, story, gameplay.

I'm about 3 hours in. Loving the setting, story, gameplay, designs, everything. Could be my GOTY.

Bought it yesterday on PS4. I find the combat very rough and clunky. Have died lots and it gets frustrating when you know you've been killed cheaply. Hope they patch it or something. I find the exploration fun, just the combat seem off, maybe on purpose to add a challenge.

As my Switch is played docked 99% of the time, I'll wait and see what the future brings in regards to a Pro model. Not fussed on quicker loading times, longer battery, etc. Higher screen resolution (4K would be nice) would probably be the only reason for me to upgrade at the moment.

What would all the Nintendo fans on this website do if this lawsuit affected future projects due to loss of money or stock of Nintendo? What if this lawsuit caused the Switch to be the last Nintendo console made? Or first party games to lose funding, so only mobile ports and shovelware would release on the system?

I've had the RROD on the X360, multiple PS4 controller shoulder buttons wear out, a N64 controller joystick break, a Wii U controller charger stop working, just to name a few. But not once have I thought of filing a lawsuit. I might be lucky to not experience the drift yet but if I did I'd send in for a replacement, repair or just repurchase. If I was that upset about a product I'd stop buying it/supporting it. Get a refund and move onto something else.

And what is the outcome everyone is expecting? A small cut of the winnings if successful? A free joy-con? Extra quality assurance checks? Or just waste Nintendo's time until the next fault is found? I find this lawsuit a huge eye-rolling, law firm attention-seeking, make me famous, mistake. As they say, "only in America".

Has anyone tried contacting Nintendo and getting the faulty parts replaced/repaired? Or is everyone just jumping on the cash grab system? Nintendo are top of their game when it comes to customer service. I've had N64 controllers, power packs, charging cords replaced or repaired.

This seems way too extreme. I've had more PS4 controllers and accessories go on me than Nintendo products, and I've had every console since SNES was released.

I'll wait for the Magic Mummy dating game. I'm a straight, married male with 3 kids, but want to explore being a single mum while chatting to other school mums who drive SUV's about their dead-beat ex-husbands while getting drunk on white wine at 10am. Any word on a release date?

I enjoyed the demo, even if it was a bit clunky. I was lucky enough to fill in a survey and its good to see a developer listening to players for once, instead of releasing crap and then trying to fix it after the damage has been done. I'll definitely be buying it on release. Good job.

You can do the same thing out near Eventide Island. There's coral and fish out there as well. Nothing new in this video. Slow news day?

If true, i'd buy either one: a mini for my son so he doesn't steal mine all the time, or a pro for me to upgrade and pass the standard Switch to him. Win/win.

Not sure if a coincidence but I went to play BOTW after updating the system and it found corrupt data! Now redownloading BOTW.

CAN.......NOT.......WAIT. GOTY already.

Downloaded this from the PS4 Hong Kong store for my son who's obsessed with tanks. I've played a fair bit as well, unlocking tanks, paint jobs, etc. I'd give it a 7/10. Its not for everyone but it does what it advertises. And its faithful to the source. And its a bit of fun. You can't ask more of that. It doesn't aim to be a WoT clone, and too many times people compare games with the more mainstream ones, instead of judging them on their own merit.

I bit the bullet and bought My Time At Portia. After the initial loading screen, I can put up with the slight menu lag and choppiness. Its a relaxing game so far.

Tears from a dead crab thrown at you? Wow.

This is one of the few reasons I get embarrassed living in Australia.

So is it really VR, like the PSVR gives you? Does it have depth, does it make you feel like you're in the game? Or is it just a large 3D experience? No ones mentioned this yet in their "hands-on" experiences. It seemed to be avoided so I'm guessing its not really VR like the others.

From the list of games mentioned, only one is a Nintendo game, while the rest are either on other consoles or multiplatform. I was expecting a list of Nintendo games. And if you're going to choose which would be cool to play on the Switch, there's probably 10 other games that are way better then those mentioned.

I don't understand how Nintendo can let all this shovelware be released on their systems. Ever since the Wii there's been crap coming out. I thought Nintendo were all about quality?

How about developers patch all these issues before a games release? Imagine this happening back in the N64 cartridge days. With no internet to patch poorly devrloped games, these companies would go under and no longer be able to release even more badly made sequels. Maybe we should bring back the pre-internet era, just to weed out all the garbage being made these days and see an end to micro transactions.

Damn, this looks fun.

@Ooyah I just read the description and I'm totally confused. It makes me almost want to buy the game to see what they are talking about. Maybe that's their plan all along.

@Nintendofan83 I just started the game using the pro controller, and then sat the toy controller next to the switch once it asks you to attach the ship.

I'm really enjoying the games so far. I'm about 2 hours in. I was on the fence whether to get it on PS4 or Switch, but my sons love of Starfox help me decide. He now has an open world Starfox game and a cool Starfox toy to fly around when not playing.

Yes I would also like to know if they've added a checkpoint system in this port? It was a pain having to restart the whole level if you exited for whatever reason.

Pre-ordered back in January but several things have come up since, financial wise. Not sure if I can afford it now looks like I'll have to cancel my pre-order, unless a fellow gamer has a spare few dollars they can loan me
Happy gaming for those who get it.

Was hoping these would show up in the Australian eShop today, as they usually share the same content as the European eShop, but nothing:(

Looking forward to this update, as my 20+ years of gaming has left my brain with the invert y-axis disorder, and I am unable to play games with normal y-axis controls.

@Sadangelman create another profile on your Wii U, country set as UK, then purchase from UK eShop. Our credit cards work in their store. Plenty of games available on there we are yet to receive down under.

@Twilight_Crow i respect that you can see that GTA is not just a game but also a work of art. Good to see you're not verbally bashing the game because you don't like it's various components: sandbox, shooting, etc. I'm the same with turn-based rpg games (Final Fantasy series, JRPG's) but i can see they're deep games with their own history and they look great, but i just can't get into them or enjoy them.

It's funny how most people are acting all mature and saying "GTA is too violent and sexist, it's not my type of game". Yet they say they would rather buy Saints Row IV if it came to the Wii U, when in reality the Saints Row franchise are the more immature games than GTA and contains just as much sex, violence and drug use. They have know idea on the full gameplay of GTA except for the few videos of strip clubs and killings they've seen on YouTube.

Probably 10% of the game has drugs, excessive violence and sex involved. The remaining 90% of the game involves driving, diving, flying, hunting, comedy, finding collectables, races, vehicle and character customisation, challenges, etc. These sort of comments make me realise why mature content rarely gets released on Nintendo systems.

@hwrose379 so true. The more gamers playing Nintendo consoles, the more third party software we would see, and the better of us as gamers would be.

@hcfwesker GTA IV was a gloomy, repetitive game, but GTA V has fixed all that with a huge variety of missions. Yes you may be shooting people every few missions, but what other games has you driving a mini submarine in the depths looking for government experiments, flying planes to drop of cargo drops, and sneaking into celebrities mansions to steal their underpants for weird fans?

Also with GTA online releasing next month, i don't see how you could get bored with over 500 missions intially, team deathmatches, races, etc, plus custom matches and races, and the ability to form a crew, buy mansions, vehicles plan heists and robberies.

Fair enough if it's not your sort of game but to say it's boring and repetitive when you probably played a 5-10 year old game is a bit stupid. It has 100 times more playability than Mario Kart, as there is only what 20+ tracks to race? And then what, race them again? Now that's repetitve. I'll be buying Mario Kart when it's released but i can see myself trading it in after completing the single player and a few weeks of multi. A game like GTA has freedom and the ability for downloading expansions, something Nintendo is not very good at doing.

@K1LLEGAL I totally agree. I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but also own a PS3 and Xbox360 for those games that aren't available on Nintendo systems. Games are now considered art. Just because a games violent or contains drug references doesn't mean it's bad. What about all the films and magazines that show sex, drugs and violence? Zelda is a violent game, the only difference is one is set in a fantasy world with unrealistic graphics and the other (GTA) is rendered with realistic visuals. If you can't tell the difference between real life and a video game, you shouldn't be playing games, yet alone reviewing them or writing whingey articles.

I think this is more of a jealousy thing, as no one has cried about the DS game Chinatown Wars, which contains the usual GTA traits. I'm a father of 3 kids, and the 2 eldest (10 & 8, both girls) play GTA games regulary for fun. They both know about swear words and violence, and that games are not real and anything done or said in the game are not to be tried or repeated in the real world. And before anyone cries "bad parenting", both are top of their class and the eldest top of her school. And both are pretty good gamers for their age.

Get over the fanboy whinging and enjoy all games on all systems.

I was hesitant buying this, but figured i'd give it a go as me and my kids loved Toy Story 3. I have to say it is very similar to TS3, while the only resemblance to Skylanders is the use of a base and figures. It's an easy game (aimed at the younger generation of course) but there's fun to be had if you enjoy not having to think too much while playing games.

I really enjoy the art style of the game. It's easy on the eyes but detailed at the same time. The voice work is great, with a few popular quotes thrown in to keep people happy. I can see why there are complaints that this can be an expensive game, but it doesn't have to be. You only buy what you want, no-ones forcing you to buy all the figurines and playsets.

All in all, i'd give this a 9/10. It accomplishes what it set out to do, which is make an enjoyable game for kids which lets them do what they want, when they want, with they're favourite Disney characters. My kids love it, as it lets them make their own adventures, while i love it because it takes me back to being a kid again, and it proves you don't need a game with high scores and blood to make it fun.
