Ea say the future is in making money from doing nothing and selling something that has no value to people to stupid to see it has no value. It worked with FUT.

It’s akin to a pyramid scheme and this low cost easy to make items have a fake value. Someone at some point will be left holding something that no one will pay for. Just don’t get left holding the bag

It’s not great value. You are far better off paying the twenty bucks or whatever it is one off than having to keep paying the 35 bucks for some 9 broken roms and your DLC….

Greed is a mysterious thing…. Some people seem not happy with millions and millions profits. Not sure why people seem intent on ruining an industry that was already very lucrative

@Bentendo1609 it’s nothing like that. People are rightly pointing out stuff missing or stuff they’d like and people are saying they hope they hold it back for a launch title on the switch successor! That’s bonkers. Again it’s not mature to not listen to others want or think and say “your immature because you don’t want what I want” the irony of that statement is massive.

Nintendo need to be challenged - it’s healthy for consumers to challenge companies to be better. It’s not healthy to accept whatever they do. They will gradually take more and more liberties. We have seen it with Mario Party and Switch online…. The more we accept the more they will take liberties. Constructively asking for different or more is healthy.

All businesses need a bit of that. It’s healthy and natural.

Wow at the comments section. A lot of you are whiny Nintendo defendists… (if that isn’t you don’t get triggered or offended) people are allowed a different opinion. You are happy that’s great but don’t tell people that try and offer critique and tell us what they like/would have wanted are whiny…. It’s you that come on these threads sounding moany and whiny…. “I’m glad they held content back for the next game” hahahahaha. That’s the most fanboy thing I’ve ever read.

The trolls in here looking for biters…. It’s no good to play and it’s not aged well…. If we love this game we are probably over 35 and too old to be baited online nice try though.

Now then…

If this is added to switch online it’s suddenly worth the price…..

@FernandoMachado EXACTLY. A centralised ordering for ps5 and Xbox would have done the same…. You buy one and get one when it’s your turn. Even if your “place/order” is outsourced to one of the suppliers like game or Amazon

Another Brexit gift. Hahahaha. Past parody now. At least we have our fish… oh wait.

Have we had any word on restocks?

Sleeper hits for me. If the price is right…. Perfect for switch.

Unfortunately shady practises like this are common place. Many places drop bombshells at the worst and most inappropriate time. You are very lucky if you work at a place that doesn’t have a toxic environment of one sort or another. It’s rampant.

@PokemonDMG agreed I’d rather have a fully fledged NFL game or NCAA even CFL to go with it but NHL 100% needed and as much as the Rocky game scratched an itch for boxing but a licensed one would be nice too.

NASCAR and Now this….. also had a boxing game with The Rocky one… lovely a few library holes being filled

Broken ROMs on premium service and removing rewards….. Nintendo clearly think their fans have been very naughty and need punishing. Strange days strange decisions.

Loved the look of it. Tempted to buy….

Seee it’s LRG….

hard pass.

Don’t change region of account ever. Easier and safer to create a new account

This always looked like a high price low effort money grab and this proves it. Not good enough. A disgrace really.

@datamonkey it makes me chuckle. We mustn’t objectify women and anything that does or by a select few is considered to is evil. You then go on tiktok or read about only fans and think…. How was the 90s worse than this?!?!? “It’s not ok today” yeah ok. People see what they wanna see.

@Kidfunkadelic83 he is still moaning about it. He even had a really dated and awkward show he launched a couple of years back. Ha. He is a clown.

Love the way people call Anyone else but Nintendo doing this is cynical - 🤣 have day off.

Rarely do I pay full price for a game but this wasn’t on my radar so I missed snagging a preorder bargain so I’ve paid full price for first time on switch. (400+ physical games in) This is how you should do a game, all on cart and a nice map. Haha.

@johnvboy I see it a lot online - someone will say they’ve had issues with a (insert something) some people back that up with their own issues and others just pile on to say they’ve had no issues and then few weeks later a couple will pop back up to say they’ve had issue and instead of humble pie they seem to ignore they claimed it was a non issue weeks before.

I personally have had little to no noticeable drift and have no scratches on my switch. I have a dock sock on my dock because it was clear that design was bonkers from the start. This screen sounds even more fragile. I think people don’t need to weigh in everytime to tell us all how gentle they are and how they look after their items. You shouldn’t need to be that gentle or have to buy dock socks but it is what it is. Articles like this are useful to make sure everyone knows a screen protector is a good idea.

I genuinely don’t see a difference between the two issues. Yes obviously some people will be careless but also many people that are careful will have issues with both. No need for people to constantly laud it over people they had no issues. Just comes across like first class fanboyism- Nintendo could have done better on both fronts but even if we don’t vilify them for that it’s worth knowing how bad the issues are. Some will be less than others. Sony and Xbox both have had similar issues with their consoles (not screen obviously) but serious faults.

As usual we deal with pure extremes in comments - the “treat stuff with care and it won’t break” fault deniers - and the - mine blew up in the box unplugged crew…. Clearly Nintendo made some design choices that were poor and yes with care you can get round that but more people need to be balanced- just coz it didn’t happen to you doesnt mean it isn’t a thing. The same people deny joy con drift is a thing and blame the user.

We really do have the two horrible ends of the spectrum posting here don’t we…. The “I knoW everything and never done anything wrong and hold everyone to account crew” and the “oh no “cancel culture” is horrible and there are no issues in society apart from the horrible treatment white men get”

Firstly those that were involved in the said abuse asked for this name change. We can’t then have a go for them doing it.

What I will say - obviously the abuse we are talking about is abhorrent and changes are needed. All the high and mighty posters here I have two questions…

1 - have you ever been abused in ways like this?

2 - do you call out wrong doing in your own life whenever you see it?

If you answer no to either of those please work on yourself before being so vocal and demanding more. If we all lead by example instead of simply calling out others real change will come.

If you say - I don’t see wrongdoings happening to call it out - you are massively part of the problem.

I can’t comment if they need to do more because I don’t know on the ground what they are doing. It’s a shame that abuses are so common place. With so many heroes online society should be sorted by now.

Try calling out bad behaviour in real life and not just online behind a keyboard.

For anyone that answered yes to victim of abuse. My thoughts go out to you and I hope you have got the support you need and I hope the cause of the abuse has been addressed. This is though unfortunately unlikely.

@ICISAZEL exactly my point. 32gb cart. But these guys They didn’t do it for LA Noire. Cant see them doing it now.

I can’t see them doing a Witcher 3. Unfortunately. I will probably still go for physical

I hope that as it’s called definitive version - they will either include or add as DLC - The City Story versions of Three and Vice.

Physical day one on switch. I’ll wait no problem

@dimi @SonOfVon I’m surprised how many switch releases get no coverage here TBH. I know they may have limited budgets or limited staff but they could always find ways to increase coverage of switch games. Quite a few recently have had no coverage here.

Wave race, 1080, F-Zero, Diddy Kong Racing, Beetle Adventure racing, Star Wars Rogue Squadron….. oh he definitely doesn’t mean those does he….

Like really he doesn’t

@PJOReilly for £80.97 you genuinely believe this trilogy should be rated 8 of 10?

Unless I’m missing something that’s how much they cost?

Hoping the two Tony Stewart games and the SRX game is next

Day one - rather this than the new version as new version has only the main series. Really glad they are bringing this one with three series and the dirt one too. Amazing.
Loads of content and the career is decent too

@MattyHammo on their front page right now showing the last 32 stories they published 30 are Nintendo/switch software and 2 are not…..

Just stop

@MattyHammo surely you are the fanboy… you are only interested in Nintendo news and the odd non nintendo story has turned you off the site?

Your twisting my melon man.

@MattyHammo bye Felicia.

@ChromaticDracula I felt it was a ridiculous grind. I too was looking forward to the collecting element but it was far to much of a grind. A gave it a good few hours of play but maybe I need to go back and give it more time. It certainly didn’t hook me or blow me away though.

Was really excited for this game. The grind to unlock stuff is ridiculous though. How this game scored so highly with anyone I don’t know. I know racing games and this is just a dlc heavy grind fest. Serious disappointment

People saying - this will be added and that will be added….. rubbish….. they have barely added any SNES and NES games since they ditched the regular updates and n64 they’ve launched with 8 hahah. Anyone thinking another console gets added this side of 18 months is out of their minds

Makes the inclusion of Megadrive and not gameboy and GBA even more ridiculous.

Nintendo have lost the plot on this one.

Have the megadrive thing as a separate thing it’s own virtual console and membership.

The N64 stuff should have been standard

@GrailUK aiming walking and driving is just better than the originals basically. It’s exactly what I expected tbh.

Why are people so precious about the soundtracks being exactly the same…. They are good soundtracks and I’m sure 90% will be the same but I’m expecting a churn and some different tracks in. There is zero chance of the same soundtrack - song ownership has shifted majorly with loads of artists selling their back catalogue and no way that won’t impact these three. They won’t just leave them like they did the classic versions - I’m 90% sure they’ll fill out the playlists with other era and genre fitting titles and probably expand them.

I could be wrong but I know the soundtracks won’t be identical so anyone hanging on to that is gonna be disappointed

Last of the free content but will hook suckers into a membership for new content. I usually defend Nintendo but they have just gone the way of the rest of the industry now and the were the last bastion of the old school.

@Sourcecode they do seem to want to see how bad a deal they can offer us and people still snap it all up.

@leo13 hahaha. For real. I reckon this will suffer don’t worry. They’ve managed to nail the drift on the new joycons.

I’ll wait for the n64 content to justify the ridiculous membership price. The nes and SNES ones never became hard to get.

@Ooccoo_Jr double the price. More than I pay for GPU…… how is this hard to understand. It’s poor value.

@SpaceboyScreams no it’s not. Read the small print. You need an active membership. Same as the dlc for Tetris. You don’t get to keep it. You get access to it. Already been clarified by someone else further up.
