@JoeDiddley Yeah we might all need some cheering up depending how June 8th ends.

I skipped the Wii u version so I will likely pick it up. Will keep me busy til I get Fire Emblem Echoes for father's day.

Aaaahhhh, i love the smell of stability in the morning.

@Masurao ah, must have missed that somehow. I decided to buy a switch about 3 days before launch so I'm not fully informed about it. Sounds reasonable compared to ps plus.

I'll try out the test fire if i can but I'm not considering a day one purchase of the game unless Nintendo precedes it with info on the pricing of the upcoming online charges.

I bought my switch from Argos, like I do with most of my consoles. It arrived about 1pm Friday via DPD. Never had an issue with Argos in the past and they continue to impress.

I have this preordered for Wii u but I'm having second thoughts about getting it for the switch one day. Problem is it will be a while before I get the switch, like at least a year, maybe two.

@sdelfin ah, I was hoping for something like that.

I wonder if you'll have to beat plague of shadows to access this one? I just couldn't get along with it and don't see myself going back to finish it.

Wii U version. As with any console I won't be buying a Switch until it's worth having. Usually around two years after release.

Skyward sword remaster?

The transparent one reminds me of my old game boy pocket, first console I ever owned.

@duffmmann it's more like I don't enjoy making my own content, which strikes me as the main hook of the game. I guess you could call me a consumer, rather than a creator. It would be hard to imagine a Mario maker game working without touchscreen.

If touchscreen is a feature of the switch I doubt it will an issue. I have had some great experiences on my 2ds after all.

@duffmmann No, not at all. But that is largely due to the fact I don't enjoy games based on user generated content.

Personally I would like touch screen to not feature at all in the Switch. Never really enjoyed touch screen gaming.

Just got home from work at half passed midnight and soaked up all this Switch info. Overall a very positive impression, I like the name and will almost certainly buy one.

Once the system is about two years old and is worth buying due to the library of games it will have by then.

Half an hour after I start work. Typical.

Only voted for Shantae, and I'm not sure whether I'll get that on Wii U or PS4.

Already have a preorder on Super Mario 3D World and the Steamworld Collection. Looking forward to Steamworld Heist, played the first one on Vita, very good game.

I remember when this released, first on vita then on Wii U, being on the fence about buying this and eventually forgetting about it.

Definitely buying it on my next pay day now. I know how it feels caring for a newborn with health issues under difficult circumstances.

My problems were miniscule in comparison and short term but I know how even the smallest degree of support can mean the world to you.

I was intending to ignore this one due to its well known brevity, but this review has changed my mind. Now I just have to find time between work and the kids.

I should probably finish Tokyo Mirage Sessions first though, and Odin Sphere. Oh, and Persona 4, Trails in the Sky SC and Tales of the Abyss 3D. Oh, that reminds me, Tales of Zestiria too.

Hmmm, I'll get around to this one eventually.

@FullbringIchigo Yeah I'm pretty sure that is the case.

Shame. Never played a castlevania game but I'm really looking forward to this. I have no hope for the Wii u version now but I was planning to get it the ps4 anyway.

Surely Sony lacks an IP with the selling power of Pokemon?

Just preordered the Steamworld Collection and Super Mario 3D World. Thanks for the reminder!

My copy arrived this morning, looking forward to trying it out this evening. Should make for a nice change of tone after FEF: Birthright.

The transparent game boy pocket was my first console. It still works today, which is something I can't say for my first GBA.

The games I had bundled with it were all rubbish but my brother had a good collection for his classic that he was happy to share with me.

Then this little old thing called Pokemon came along and that was that, Ive been gaming for 20 years and won't stop any time soon.

@DoctorOverbuild Good point.

Pre ordered the squid sisters this morning. The double pack was already sold out so I had to buy both the singles for extra £2. Woe is me.

For me squirtle will always be the very best.

My copy of birthright arrived on Tues. It's my first fire emblem and I'm enjoying it a great deal. Currently alternating between it and star fox zero, which I'm not enjoying anywhere near as much.

Weren't the first two games on PS2? I don't see them on the list at all.

I'm on holiday that weekend, so I can finally compete in my first splatfest. Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!

As I expected. 2016 was always unrealistic.

I always game with headphones on, as I have two tv's in my living room. When I'm gaming on one my wife is usually watching the other. Are headphones really that much of a problem? Is the game reasonably playable with them?

@NinjaWaddleDee I had to cut back once my kids came along. I was buying for so many systems, even picking up games for the PlayStation and Game Boy, that my backlog was ludicrous.

It may sound weird but I had so many unplayed games it was slightly depressing. Eventually I just wiped the slate clean. Now I hold back, play maybe half a dozen new titles a year and actually enjoy gaming again, rather than blazing my way through every game for the sake of crossing it off the list.

My copy arrived today. Unfortunately I will have to wait until my birthday next month.

@NinjaWaddleDee That's precisely why I generally focus on one platform at a time, and maybe a handheld too. With my limited gaming time it makes sense.

@Detective_TeeJay yeah, sales were abysmal I believe.

@NinjaWaddleDee I'll get both in the end. The NX will have to wait a while as I rarely buy a system til its at least two years old. Only bought my Wii U last year.

@Grumblevolcano Yeah I feel the same way. Once I play this I'll be picking up a PS4.

Will be buying the game, but probly just the standard edition. The soundtrack CD interests me but the rest of it is all tat.

My Nintendo selects arrived this morning. NSMBU, DKTF and Windwaker. Haven't played a Mario platformer in years so I'm looking forward to that.

Already have preorders on New Super Mario Bros U, Tropical Freeze and Windwaker HD from Nintendo store UK. Thankfully will be getting Star Fox Zero for my birthday next month, or this would have been an expensive month.

Getting this as a birthday present in mid may. I have twilight princess HD and some of the upcoming Nintendo selects to keep me busy til then.

Slightly bewildering to the eyes. Made my headache worse. Fair play to the creator though.

Never heard of it before, but it looks interesting. Will keep my eye on it.

I'm quite happy for motion control to die. Can't happen soon enough.

Jetpack all the way, but I'm working anyway.

Any idea if this is coming with a physical release or eshop only?
