@Kiz3000 Switch Sports is nice, but very barebones.... It's only seen occasional play since we picked it up in launch week. Probably about 4-5 hours total!
I honestly didn't realise Bayonetta 3 had been given a date until I just saw this.... With individual announcements there's a lot more chance of me missing something than with a nice concise summary of all the cool stuff coming up.
Some definite time machine action going on there... If they're able to go back a few years and take RDR and GTAIV off the table, perhaps they should have blown up the table with the trilogy on it.
@Stnkygrngo We can play F-Zero and F-Zero X though can't we?
As for GX, perhaps we'll see that if we ever see Gamecube games on Switch. I do wonder though, whether perhaps the effort of getting Gamecube games working well on the Switch is not worth it? (for Nintendo)
@ChakraStomps Here in the UK, Boris Johnson gets £79,936 for being Prime Minister (and another salary for being an MP, but still not ridiculous numbers).
Was just saying mid-week how I wasn't interested in this and yet this morning, plop, there it is on the mat in my hallway (the game that is, I didn't excrete). The au pair was watching Criminal Minds on the telly so I only managed to have a quick go on tennis in tabletop mode, but I was awful. I used to be a champion on Wii Tennis (I once won a million quid in a drunken 'double or nothing' session with a friend), but this just didn't feel right to me.
Will give it another go later and see if I get into it.

Useful for when the world runs out of regular Wii's I guess?

Switch Sports seems to being racking up some decent sales!

Re: Random: Talented Hackers Are Adding Vibrant Colour To Classic Game Boy Titles
Ah, so they're actually turning them into Gameboy Color games? It wasn't clear from the article, I though this was some sort of emulator hack...
Re: Nintendo Reveals A New And Colourful Splatoon 3 Switch OLED
@abbyhitter Viscosity seems wrong for ink... Inkling or not, I'm pretty sure what they're shooting is paint.
Re: Hands On: 'Live A Live' Gives A Unique 16-Bit RPG A Gorgeous New Lease Of Life
Need to try the demo of this, looks really good and only £33 on Amazon...

Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Remember when the Wii got Commodore 64 games? Or did I dream that?!

Re: Random: "Die-Hard Nintendo Fan" Reportedly Forked Out Over $40K To Ask For A New F-Zero
Just wait for that stock to rise and he'll have got to ask his question AND pocket some thousands of profit!

@Anti-Matter No Harvestella? I kinda thought that looked cool...

Ah, Switch 2 then!
Re: Return To Monkey Island Launching First For Consoles On Switch
I much prefer the look of Curse of Monkey Island. But that's not going to stop me grabbing this as soon as it's released!
Re: Shin-Chan: Me And The Professor On Summer Vacation Confirmed For Western Switch Release
Looks stunning apart from the characters who look awful? I'm not familiar with the source material but I assume that's in keeping with it?!

Re: This N64 ROM Hack Turns Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Into A New Star Fox Adventures
@NeonStarship Yeah, but it's not quite the same. It won't feel like an N64 game, it'll feel like a bad PC or mobile game
Re: This N64 ROM Hack Turns Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Into A New Star Fox Adventures
This looks kinda awesome, wish I still had an N64 to try this out on...
Re: The Aya Neo Air Is An OLED-Packing Handheld That Can Run Cyberpunk 2077 And GTA V
@Smug43 I got some serious Wii U vibes from this as well!
I assume it's a lot thinner than a Wii U gamepad or a Steam Deck but you can't really tell from the photo....
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
One of my big regrets was not snapping up one of these when they were released. I wonder if we'll see more stock over here in the UK/Europe?

@Jokerwolf 9 year old processor tech? The Tegra X1 wasn't announced until CES 2015, let alone made available.

Did he just describe the appearance of Miyamoto-san's eyes as an 'impish squint'?!

So many good memories of playing this with my wife, an absolute gem of a game and I think of it fondly.
Re: Pokémon Unite Reveals In-Game Subscription Service
I don't know what a MOBA is. I don't even want to look it up...
Re: Review In Progress: Nintendo Switch Sports - Familiar Fun With Friends, But Little More
So is the tennis better or worse than that in Wii Sports? I have Wii Sports and Resort (although I've not played that in over a decade).
I might just revisit them rather than buy this.

Re: New Trailer Highlights Nintendo Switch Sports As Part Of Fitness Regime
@jFug Fitness 'regime' is perfectly fine in British English

Re: UK Charts: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Knocks Kirby Off The Top Spot
@uptownsoul Wow, astounded that the PS5 version was the best selling one. Well done PS5!
Re: Japanese Charts: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is On Top For Another Week
Wow, Switch is over 24 million across the three variants... Incredible!
Re: Pre-orders For Mario Strikers: Battle League Football Gets You A Free Cosy Scarf (UK)
Why do do I get the funny feeling that the scarf is actually in scale to the game box in that photo
Re: Pre-orders For Mario Strikers: Battle League Football Gets You A Free Cosy Scarf (UK)
The capitalisation in the title makes it sound like a Cosy Scarf is some sort of thing? Unless it is some sort of thing?
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Star Jim Carrey Says He's "Fairly Serious" About Retiring
@RadioShadow Robotnik sort of had to be a comic character though? There's no way he could have just been a straight-up 'bad guy'.
