@DonnieTACO The article before that one (two days prior) is about how Costco’s members are going to launch a class-action lawsuit against them regarding price increases due to tariffs. I assume it’s a response to that…

@DonnieTACO Don’t worry, Trump told me that it’s definitely the corporations paying the tariffs and not the American citizens…

@Nep-Nep-Freak I guess that's how the Native Americans felt when the European's arrived?

@Thecure So, if the tariffs charged have been deemed to be illegal and the tariffs reversed - where should the ill-gotten money go to? ($166 billion and counting)

I assume you were one of the people who was strongly opposed to the tariffs being introduced in the first place?

@Emacster I wouldn't call criminalising hate speech to be a crisis against free speech necessarily. It's a strange comment when there's a country across the Atlantic from us where the leader spends half of his time belittling anyone who has any criticisms of his regime.

Burnin' Rubber and Sonic GX for the GX4000.

Also, hopefully Settlers if I finally finish replacing the capacitors in my Amiga 1200.

Oh, and I'm right at the end of Link's Awakening, so might finally get that one completed!

@KayFiOS Except a teaser for Galaxy 3.

The DS lite lit my fuse for Nintendo gaming. I traded in my PSP to buy one in 2016 and never looked back…

Party House is my most played game of the past 6 months!

The game(s) look really nice. My kids have Switch 1's and rarely get a look in on my Switch 2... this could get expensive!

Wow, that is a great looking game… those sprites! 😍

Also, has anyone tried the vinyl wraps available for the Switch 2 joy cons? The kind from Dbrand or Xtremeskins? They look great in the photos, but not sure how practical in reality?

I think if people buy joy cons, just for the colour variation and not because they actually need an extra set of joy cons, then its a waste of money anyway...

I'm tempted by these because it would be good to have an extra set for Mario Party and I was holding off getting a second pair that were identical to the first.

I might start complaining about games that aren't on game key cards, just to balance things out...

Here are the reasons that I'm only buying Game Key cards and not regular Game cards (not serious, but to make a point)

• I refuse to pay above the odds for effectively an SSD for each game, that will spend most of its time sat in a drawer, when I could just play it from internal storage.
• The game data on a game card is out-of-date by the time it hits the shelves, not an issue with game key cards!
• Game cards are slower than internal storage or MicroSD express card, I want the fastest way to play the games.

Can anyone think of any others for my list?

We used to play the original at LAN parties in the late 90s, I wonder if they’ll implement multiplayer at a later time?

I've only played the demo, so I don't feel I'm a position to judge yet... (although I know that lots of people vote in these polls without ever playing the game in question!)

@Anti-Matter As soon as I saw the charts, I knew that you wouldn't be happy about the lack of Bluey again!

@SirLink In the olden days, bugs in games just never got fixed https://gamerant.com/snes-game-breaking-glitches-bugs/

@ArmenianJedi13 Maybe next time?

@The_Nintendo_Expat They’ve learned from the Wii. Their most successful home console and they didn’t ship a single title for it after the Wii U launched…

That's tomorrow! As always, I'm hoping for a new Ace Attorney!

I really like the art style, I was sold from the minute I saw it in the Direct last year.

Metroid Prime 4 only released on the 4th December, so maybe that's why... maybe....

I noticed the Switch 2 edition is down to £36.50 and the regular to £31.50 on Amazon if anyone wants to grab a bargain. Anyone?

@Dazman I kind of feel the opposite. I loved my Switch OLED, but my first impressions of the Switch 2 were that it felt more premium.

Does anyone know if their stores in Spain are affected?

@Shepdawg1 Does the talking flower actually talk?

EDIT: I see it does, I'd missed that news post!

Is this the one where they unveil Galaxy 3, launching alongside the movie?

I wonder if Nintendo considered making all of the features in the 3.0 update locked behind a Switch 2 paywall, and then backtracked and made it free for all existing players? Would explain why it's a little bare-bones for a paid update...

@KoopaTheGamer I don't think we would necessarily have seen the 2019 Switch model if it wasn't for the gaping security hole that the original Tegra chip had....

The image looks more like a Switch 2 lite than a Switch 2?

(EDIT: Although it is the same image that comes up when you enter the Switch 2's BEE code)

@Serpenterror Doesn't Steam Deck have a 720p screen, like the original Switch?

Massive has in the region of 750 staff, so this is a relatively small proportion. Sucks for the people who have lost their jobs though

Welcome Mai! I knew you'd be a great fit when you started talking about your Amiga 500

EA Sports FC 26 is listed as EA Sports FC 25 in the chart.

Also, we bought it last week on PS5. Sorry about that....

@KazooieTooie It's been almost 8 years(!) since Mario Tennis Aces and that one was the best-selling in the series (4.5M). But, I kind of agree that I don't see this new one selling any more than a couple of million.

@Ryoma I just realised that Wii will be 20 this year! I feel old!

@Duncanballs Probably because even PS5 physical games need to be installed on the machine.

@FantasiaWHT That's definitely a change, the shorts have been zipped up.

I think I'm at eight differences.... any advance?

I bloomin' love a spot-the-difference puzzle! That was fun!

@nukatha It's not me, it's my son. And we did skip a year last year!

@PatrikOfHyrule Price is the same in the UK as the price I pre-ordered at. Also, no Prime game other than the first one sold more than 1.5M. Not sure what Nintendo’s expectations would have been for the game, but probably lower than you think…

This looks fantastic and has been well received on other platforms, I'll be all over this when it's released!

@cdriper 2017. The four year old PS4 sells more than double the units of the new Switch console, as does the Xbox One. Sound familiar?

PS4 sales were almost double those of the Switch in November 2017 in the US. It's all just a little bit of history repeating.... (both PS4 and Xbox One sold over 1.5M each in that year!)

Will the demo be getting a Switch 2 update? It sounds like it might be my sort of thing and thinking about trying the demo, but waiting to see if there's a S2 version first...

@topsekret Just get it from the eShop. All games will be digital-only by next gen anyway...

I blame Christmas.
