@Kasma88 It’s with AI if you want and it performs pretty well. The new online update is a lot of fun too. You can join any race your friend is in if you have a buddy with a copy of the game.
@SquashyCat Whoops. I thought you were talking about the Impossible Lair, as per the end of the article. I’ve just realised you’re probably referring to the first game. As per the bloody title of the article. Apologies.
@sandman89 I’ve just been waiting for the moment to buy this game. Been finishing this or that and then of course animal crossing happened. What didn’t you like?
Absolutely gobsmacked to find this reviewer on NintendoLife! I’ve followed him on twitter for quite a while after reading tales of windmills and high kicks in costa coffee (I think it came up because I follow Burns from his videogamer days). Hope the tweets aren’t tamed now, got a feeling they won’t be, and congratulations on the first (I think?) review for NintendoLife!
So disappointed. I thought there was no way that tease could be accidental... In fact I still don’t believe it was. Too blatant. I wonder what happened? Could be a good article there someday 🗣
Bowser Jr and Boo come up over and over again. I'm in the 'can't handle boo' camp. Slice shot does me every time. That's even though I know it will curve in the opposite direction, I just can't react in time. I've usually already set off in the wrong direction! Don't mind Bowser Jr though. Love a good long rally! Spike for the victory!
In the above question about things most important to you about the site, I could only choose three options but please consider this comment another vote for features as well!
This has the potential to be a really fun little game but it gets repetitive after the first two worlds. A few different objectives rather than the same collecting of 20 orbs and five coins every level would have made a big difference. As it was, I stopped playing around half way through world three.
@Anti-Matter You can get them slightly cheaper at playincstore.com for 1,199,000rp. Not a huge saving but something! Got my Switch from there and bought games since, reliable and quick postage.
@Luna_110 Hello from South East Asia. Not a native but trust me - people love video games of all kinds here. It's only Sony that seems to have thought to sell their products 'officially' though. Completely baffles me, piracy or not. So many want the official console regardless.
Easy. More Rayman (new) and a follow up to Child of Light. Both perfect for Nintendo platforms and fantastic games. I really don't see Assasin's Creed etc. doing much on Switch. Although my switch owning housemate says he would buy it. Ho hum, glad I don't have to make these decisions!
I'd say you have that argument the wrong way around. FIFA 13 is still £49.99 on the E Shop as one example! I buy mainly downloadable due to living outside of Europe at the moment and the biggest thing that annoys me is price. It's a lot cheaper being able to shop around for physical editions.
That's unless you're talking from Nintendo's perspective.
As much as I kind of agree with the sentiments of his post, there are clearly a number of reasons ALL the console manufacturers do this. For Nintendo, it is important they win back the major third parties first and foremost. By handing them - and only them - early dev kits, it means their early games will get the spotlight and, if they're any good, hopefully sell. Then they'll make more instead of run away. I seem to remember when the 3DS launched, Nintendo purposely didn't release any major first party games on it as third parties thought their launch games wouldn't sell otherwise. It's debatable how successful that strategy was but it is a similar principle to only allowing a few third parties NX dev kits.
I can't wait for this. I may even want it more than Zelda. Hoping and dreaming it will be a runaway success on all platforms and 3D platformers make a glorious comeback. It's time!
Looks great! After just a few minutes, I actually found the tiles view to be more convenient than the traditional list format (I'm browsing on a laptop). I changed to list mode to experiment but went right back to tiles. It is still a logical, chronicle order except you can see more articles on the page at once, making it easier to browse for the ones you want to read. You just read them like a book. Left to right, down for the next line. As for those complaining about ad block... C'mon. Do you know how expensive Alex Olney is? Eye watering.
Could somebody more technically minded than me please explain why this isn't just launching globally? I mean, it's a chat app. Whatsapp lets you chat from anywhere, why not Miitomo? I'm British but live in Indonesia, hence the curiosity.

Completely hooked on Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions. If you like Magic: The Gathering type card games, you should really give it a go!

@DTMOF84 Thank you

@DTMOF84 Hey, thanks for replying. So they can even play it single player?
Re: Bethesda Confirms Panic Button Is Developing The Switch Version Of Wolfenstein: Youngblood
Does anybody have any more details about the ‘buddy pass’? I assume it just allows online co-op, even if said buddy doesn’t have the game?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 17th)
@Judgedean Also playing this and getting towards the end. It looks rough but have really enjoyed it! Really opened up after about ten hours.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 20th)
Just finished the Torna dlc and need more Xenoblade goodness! Unfortunately there isn’t any so I’m off out to buy Ys VII in a bit.

"Say goodbye to physical, it's needlessly costly"
I'd say you have that argument the wrong way around. FIFA 13 is still £49.99 on the E Shop as one example! I buy mainly downloadable due to living outside of Europe at the moment and the biggest thing that annoys me is price. It's a lot cheaper being able to shop around for physical editions.
