@1UP_MARIO You can't have bacon without brown sauce!

@HalBailman We're seeing the Pro concept with Xbox Series S and Series X.

90% docked. I have a TV and also a soundbar, and it's all in individually switched plug adapters, so switching everything on is a bit tedious even with a Harmony remote if all I want to do is play a few minutes on Animal Crossing. So that's when I play handheld. Out of laziness

Oh, this guy is still going.

Nintendo is smart enough not to listen to him, at least.

I honestly didn’t know you could kill them.

Loved the N64. My favourite games in this order were:

1. Mario Kart 64
2. Body Harvest
3. Perfect Dark
4. Blast Corps
5. Space Station Silicon Valley

I've got Fernz Gate and I've put a decent amount of time into it. Not sure if I'm near the end yet. What I like about it is the automatic mode. You just press a button and the battles are done for you. All you have to think about is having the best equipment. After that you're just moving the characters to the next objective to advance the story. Makes it feel a bit more like some kind of VN or slightly interactive story book.

60fps is preferred, but 30fps is fine when done properly. That's pretty much all there is to it.

I'm playing on PC and I think the game is awesome. The game itself is not like BOTW, which is a pretty solitary experience. It just takes place in a world that resembles it and it copies things like the climbing, gliding and cooking. The combat is miles better and so far the weapons don't seem to break either, which is another on my BOTW-gripes. Cooking is much less tedious and having a party and switching between them mid-battle is fantastic.

Nintendo would do well to pay attention to this game.

Mario and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for me. But RCT3 will be on PC because it was free on Epic

Didn't like portrait mode, but I believe it recently went landscape. It's not enough to make me play it again.

But I'm not really much of a phone gamer. The only things I've stuck with are Motorsport Manager and Golf Clash.

Give them a break. There's only so much you can do with the design of a controller if you're not Nintendo.

New system will be called NIHSS.

Nintendo Integrated Hardware-Software System.

You heard it here first.

I had my first Steam refund recently because I bought a game that I forgot I already had on Switch. Refund was issued in a couple of hours.

I would like some kind of refund system on Switch though. Neverlast is a game that runs so poorly it really detracts from the game, which is a reasonable time killer for the price I paid with 90% discount - if it ran smoothly.

But that's the only game I would refund. Usually, I buy the deep discounts that I think I will like and usually I do. Technical reasons are the only way I would refund.

By the time I get to Sunshine I suppose this will be patched, but this kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable.

It's like the boom mic appearing in the shot of a movie or TV show.

Can't even see the cartridge when it's in the machine, LOL!

I've got one, but sadly I sold most of my GBA games

@ComposedJam I'll second that. I bought a wired Switch controller and there was something wrong with the left stick. I think it stuck in one direction. I had to open it up and fix it.

Wii version of Forgotten Sands should be remade. That was an awesome game. The movie is also very good.

64, Sunshine, Galaxy because Galaxy is the only Mario game I've ever finished, so I'll leave it til last. I'm really only buying it for Sunshine because it was always my favourite and the best until Galaxy. 64 I've never cared for but I'll give it another go.

I had to go for the cheeky option but really I find it unusual. They must know how well other limited runs by other publishers do and decided to try it themselves.

However, it's pre-ordered because I need a remastered version of Sunshine and I just discovered it has a soundtrack player. Fab.

Reminds me of NFS Carbon on the Wii as there were a few different control layouts with the remote and nunchuck. It gave the game something more interesting than the other versions.

So that's Hotshot Racing and now Inertial Drift I need to get

Looks awesome. Reminds me of those videos on Youtube of people's model railways going all the way round their house. Perhaps a rogue dog or cat steps over the track like something from Jurassic Park.

I have space for this and if it gets tight I could set something up in the back garden XD

@JimmySpades As one of the 37 people I find this outrageous!

2006 and the Wii for me. Having the confidence to go up against technically superior HD consoles with similar hardware to the Gamecube except for different controllers is astounding.

My favourite 3D Sonic games have been Sonic R and Sonic and the Secret Rings. Haven't played enough of the others to form an opinion. Didn't like the portable 2D versions. Screen seemed too small for the speed of the action.

The 2D look is great but I think Sonic 4 was a good way of providing 3D graphics and 2D gameplay. The quality of them was poor though. I remember reading that the problem with making 3D Sonic games is the speed, which requires the levels to be huge. I reckon the Sonic 4 style is a good way to merge the two without having huge levels. Gotta sort the jumping out in Sonic 4 though. Totally ruined it.

Looks good. Another feather in the Switch's cap.

When I got the Switch I was hugely impressed by Breath of the WIld. Sure, it was a Wii U game, but it still featured vast landscapes and changeable weather, some physics and stuff. It felt quite advanced for a console less than an inch thick.

Then it gets games like Doom, Skyrim, Wolfenstein, Dark Souls and The Witcher 3. This took me completely by surprise. I thought it may get more third party support than Wii U but I didn't expect it to get REAL third party support.

To me it feels like developers are just getting started with the AAA ports and we will get another load of them in the next couple of years.

Switch doesn't need to be replaced yet. But when it is replaced they don't need to do much to it. All I can think of is - if they make a home version and a lite version again, make the home version bigger. I think the screen could stand to be at least an inch bigger on the diagonal, which would make the controllers a bit bigger.

Got it because it was free. Absolutely love it. It's totally bonkers!

When Nintendo are on form they don't need EA. Even when they're not they can mostly get by on their own games for a generation.

Your move, EA.

I really didn't mind Light of Hope. I found it much better than Skytree Village. I haven't played Mad Dash yet. Not sure if it's a fully fledged farming game or just a puzzle game.

I wouldn't deny myself the opportunity to play a game from a genre I like just because of the situation Harvest Moon found itself in. Harvest Moon will only get so far on the name, so it's in Natsume's interests to make a proper game. If their games have traditional farming-sim features, good story and no bugs, why wouldn't want I play it?

Maybe they took it from the Master System box art.

It is a bit strange that digital-only for PC and mobile isn't a problem and people have made the switch to digital for music and movies, but the thought of console games not being physical is a huge topic.

Nevertheless, I voted no, because I don't think the Switch should have a digital-only model.

In like Flynn.

@GetShulked WIth a name like that, what else?

Mainly Xenoblade. It's such an improvement on the previous versions. Well worth buying it for a third time! LOL!

@ChrisUnseen I was going to say the same thing. I’m sure my PSP case is made by Logitech but it’s the same principal. They provided a template and you cut it to fit.

It looks like the same could be done with this device even if it’s not what it’s intended for. And it saves wasting a decal be peeling it off and wrinkling it.

Not as useless as it might seem.

That Disaster Report price

I'm waiting until they add balanced stability.

@mesome713

Me too (laughs).

The price was visible on the eShop shortly after the big bang.

I hope it has traditional circuits as well as ovals.

Day one if it's even half-decent and less than £10.

They are probably being secretive and really mean FY20, which is until the end of March. Then it's open season!

@The_Pixel_King If it wasn't a good experience, who would get the blame? I think that's what Nintendo needs to weigh up.

@carlos82 All the more reason to sell it off dirt cheap

This kind of PC-based device would be great with an Nvidia graphics card inside the handheld. GeForce Experience could be used to optimise the games when used as a handheld, then when connected with an eGPU dock with a more powerful Nvidia GPU, the optimisation would be turned off (or reduced) accordingly.

However, that sounds expensive for them to make and this thing will be expensive enough with Intel graphics alone.

Warframe this weekend.

I made one purchase in GAME last year. I went in for a browse because I really don't go in very often and they happened to have PS4 controllers for £35 which I thought was quite a good price for an offline store, and I wanted one for my Apple TV because I knew support for it was coming.

Then more recently I realised I forgot to buy Gears 5 for my collection. Amazon was ~£35 for standard and ~£50 for ultimate so I thought I would check the GAME website while the sales are on. £50 for the standard edition as a special offer and £35 for pre-owned.

I bought the standard edition from Amazon.

The other Street Fighter game never gets a discount. This bugs me.

Switch needs a media player for playing videos from an SD card before Spotify.
