Maybe its my thorny rose-tinted glasses, but it doesn't look THAT impressive to me. Perhaps like an emulator with a high-res texture pack? (only the textures don't look particularly high-res?)

I honestly read the devs name as something else entirely...

@mesome713 You're joking, right?!

@ancientlii Maybe it's definitive because they've taken these silly things out?

@Chaoticwhizz I was half-way to agreeing with you, until I realised that the game only came out on Friday so any users posting review scores already haven't exactly taken their time to play the game thoroughly before posting their scores. I'd be amazed if anyone has enjoyed anywhere near the full number of (time-locked) experiences the game has to offer...

@FullmetalB I take into consideration the critique of critics whose opinions I trust. And the general aggregated Metacritic score is a reasonable indicator as to a games quality, very unlikely to be an absolute stinker if the game is rated 80+. But still, personal preferences and irritants need to be factored in...

EDIT: Also, unlike the faceless Metacritic user reviews, at least MOST of the professional critics have actually played the game

The general public isn't even capable of following advice to stay indoors, as if I'd trust their opinion on what games to buy... Have any professional critics given this game 0/10?

@Anti-Matter I'm fully prepared to let the game control me. If I miss Christmas, then I can always wait until next year

@KitsuneNight Do you own a Dolphin or a Project Reality?

I also won't be watching this, I don't want to spoil any surprises....

Can't resist Civ VI for any longer, finally going to cave in. Last Civ experience was II back in the 90s...

It's a registered trademark of Nintendo of America, so I'm sure there were some hurdles to jump through to get Nintendo to agree to this...

They're assisting Retro Studios with Metroid Prime 4.

Here's an idea for journalism. If he knows the names of the two games that are being ported then say what they are. Absolutely ridiculous...

Well of course there's value in piracy. That's why Captain Blackbeard first set sail on the high seas...

@Ralek85 Should have limited the number of Pokémon to 48, like in Colosseum.

@Nathendo So you want some AA batteries that'll die in a matter of hours?

Played it, liked it - couldn't get up to 130kg though

@Kalmaro Apparently they don't!

No Midlands venue?

Want a Switch with this chip?

It's in the Switch Lite and new improved battery life Switch models....

T210B01 = Tegra X1+

@Razzy It did read a bit like that, with bits such as 'Christmas 1992 saw Nintendo finally fighting with Sega on even terms after years of struggling to dent its rival's dominance in the UK, and the last thing it needed was bad press' and 'it's impossible to underestimate the shock of seeing that lurid front-page proclamation back in 1993, at a time when Nintendo was only just emerging from Sega's shadow in the UK after years of playing second fiddle to the Master System and Mega Drive.'

@Woosh193 I'm sure you do have a drifting Joycon. What I'm saying is, it's impossible to know how common the issue is from people's comments on the internet.

If a hundred people post videos of drifting Lites tomorrow they could be the only hundred drifting devices out of half a million (a 0.02% failure rate) or they could all be made up....

Well, the failure rate is actually 0% on the original Joycon.

I have four and two mates also have four each. After two years, zero drift issues.

Everything you read on the internet is unverifiable, so can't be trusted...

@LegendOfStewart Analog triggers?! Pretty sure I played this one with a keyboard and mouse...

Had a quick go, the controls seemed to be off - why am I permanently drifting?

Hmm.... Suspiciously small, PS3 version took up 22GB. I hope they've not reduced the cutscene quality.

I would assume Tate is produced Tate, as in the name... Like Tate & Lyle.

Also Snezz.

@RainbowGazelle My wife's from Finland, they don't have Amazon there which I found amazing!

SanDisk Ultra 400GB currently £47.99
Integral 256GB is £22.19

Switch - 4310 mAh battery (2.5 - 6.5 hours)
Switch Lite - 3570 mAh battery (3 - 7 hours).

Whilst some of the energy saving will come from the smaller screen, a big chunk of it must come from the processor revision.

The big question is, if they're using this new chip in the regular Switch, will they be shrinking the battery and giving us similar battery life, or leave the battery the same and give us longer battery life? fingers crossed

@DavidMac I suspect the Switch Lite actually has a smaller battery, hopefully they won't do the same with Switch Sr.

151 Pokémon is enough for anyone.

@PorllM You might struggle with the one you linked, Switch only has a MicroSD slot, not full-fat!

@johncalmc

Based on the sales figures it was a smart choice keeping it full price. I actually can't imagine the sales would be much higher at a budget price and Ninty would have lost out on hundreds of millions in revenue...

They do impressive community/charitable work...

Looks like a lovely place actually, will have to visit Baltimore someday....

@sybno1 I would argue that conversely, the execution is actually better than the concept.

@Haywired It's a shame that Labo's not reached a wider audience. I have the Variety Kit and I think it's an engineering marvel the way the models come together, so clever. I will need to grab the Vehicle Kit while it's still available...

The reviews on Amazon have been overwhelmingly positive as well.

@Mailman What about if they released a revision with a 1080p screen that could run titles with the docked profile but in handheld mode?

I'm still plugging away at 2018, if this is a big improvement then I might be tempted...

@BenAV It's lucky that this will be £29.99/$39.99 then?

@mist I believe it's using pre-rendered sprites, so it should run quickly....

@Likethepear Can we find you some friends to play with?

Pre-ordered!

@JayJ Charge the father with child endangerment, carries a one year sentence.

@gcunit "To me, no one is special, and having an illness doesn't make anyone special, adult or child"

That's where we differ, to me, everyone is special.

@Balchad Even if you have been in a dying kids shoes, it doesn't give you the right to decide what another dying kid should do in that situation...

@Balchad Who's ignoring all the other dying kids? Everybody, a donation to Make-a-Wish can help lots of kids get their dying wish...

@Heavyarms55 I think a WiiHD/Wii 2 released around 2009-2010 would have done very well...
