@Sunsy thanks. Mine did pop up in the end. I was happy to wait for points just felt it should tick instantly. Obviously not! Ha. Hopefully they add more as those four took about 2 mins to do!
Just did the missions. Only the going on the app one marks as done. I played a few levels of Super Mario Bros and nothing. Played a game and uploaded save. I see it says here it can take a while for points but surely it should tell me if I’ve done the required to get the mission ticked?
I will pick up war of mine late. Not in the mood to play it right now as I am already following news and the stupidity of invasions and wars are all too known to me but I will play down the road and give money to a good cause
@DTFaux same conclusion I’ve drawn and the fact they added two female names would suggest the criticism included the fact all four actors names were male. It’s a shame this stuff needs pointing out really at this point.
@sanderev “fans” don’t own anything. Except products. I own Sony, Nintendo, Sega, Xbox consoles and products and do not have loyalty to one - I buy things I like and don’t buy things I don’t. I own multiple Sony devices and I don’t own Evo. Games companies crossing over and working together is the future. They are in competition but it’s not life and death. It’s proven the three can survive and be profitable together. It’s not in any of their interests to stamp on each other.
@YoshiAngemon I bought one of those. It’s not really anything like using a n64 controller though. If you are old enough to have found memories playing the n64 for hours and hours for years - using that just doesn’t cut it IMHO.
@faint @Screen I liked both your comments. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. I still haven’t subscribed yet. Holding off until at least the N64 controller is in stock and by then they will have expanded the service and improved it. The truth is it would be my first choice. I’d much rather buy all the old nes and snes games and n64 and have them in a similar app. But I own the games.
Ugh LRG. Pay me now get the game on a year merchants. We wouldn’t accept this in any other media. We wouldn’t accept from any other publisher… but yet for some reason we allow these people thrive.
Great game that suffered from people associating it with Avengers (which in itself is a decent solo player game) which got hammered for the after campaign stuff…. Cloud version games seem to suffer from that association too. Many switch gamers own another console and don’t like it when a company treats switch users like second class gamers…. And then another group of people can’t get over it when the characters “don’t look like the movies” those three issues all add up and you have a fair chunk avoiding the game even if it’s good in its own right.
I love the DS and 3ds family have a few of the various shapes and forms it’s taken. Never did get an XL or anything after that… so I might get a XL and get it all updated and download on all my units.
Miis were fun when they first appeared but now just make a game look aged straight away. Imho they were a bit lazy in the first place. Mii’s should have always been an extra. Wii sports should have had all the Nintendo IPs as playable. I think Nintendo always miss a trick not putting their characters in games. Giving people choice is better. Miis felt over used and under developed and these days they just look silly compared to other personalised characters. I’m all for the throwback option. 100% but kids aren’t gonna buy into creating their own Mii - you need better avatars to appeal to anyone but us oldies that owned a Wii.
@carlos82 100% I’m in both the first two camps tbh. To some extent. I had some fun with phone version.
But it’s the anger that when we then get some love for mk8 and such a massive amount for a relatively low DLC (I paid 16quid on shopto) I think Nintendo can’t really be knocked for this. Supporting a game and giving so much content on a game that most switch owners own. That’s much better than releasing 48 tracks a few new characters and basically the same engine for a mk9 that everyone would have gone crazy for.
Dipping in and out weekend for me… Retro Bowl. So good and addictive, Vice City - amazing to play it on switch and no where near the disaster people say it is - and a bit of NASCAR with Arcade Action wrestling thrown in the mix.
Hopefully plenty of rated M games. They are all selling well on switch. GTA trilogy has sold well even with bad press and not all on cart. Days of pandering to the image of “no rated M games on Nintendo please” is well and truly over.
Wave race. Coming to N64 expansion. - wave race GC getting a remaster and out very soon and a brand new wave race out before end of year. Open world sea sections to explore in multiple locations and 60+ tracks in locals all over the world.
And Goldeneye. Hopefully both OG 64 and that remake.

@Kilroy behave. You just aren’t paying attention. They’ve said plenty. You stop with the misinformation.
Even if we ignore multiplatform- Bethesda and Activision will release less of their IPs than they did. They will fit into one larger release rotation in the GPU calendar. Fact. Before it was possible to get a Xbox studio: Bethesda and Activision game on the same day or same few weeks. Now all will slot into a single calendar.
We don’t need Xbox to sign post this to know this.
@cyrus_zuo I don’t know why people expect a full Ps5 XSX version on switch. I’d like a different version. Nothing wrong with have a slightly different version. I’m all over it.
It’s really annoying. I was talking to my newphews dad - who works at Nintendo - and he laughed at the rumours they hear. My mums milkman’s brother works at Sony and confirmed it’s just as bad there with the stories that start from these far fetched tales. I did call my neighbours dentists son who works at Xbox but he was in a meeting with EA about a takeover so couldn’t chat and give me any gossip but either way I can’t stand people that make up these ridiculous links with people that work somewhere.
@Spiders Bethesda and Activision have tons of IPs between them and they will be buried in a heavy heavy rotation and some beloved big named games will all but vanish. This is bad for gamers. Especially multiplatform gamers.
This is what I was referring. I own an Xbox. I own every gen of Xbox. Multiple in some gens. They’ve done some amazing things.
Buying up massive third party companies like this isn’t one of them.
@UltimateOtaku91 all of their games have a built in GaaS - log in everyday style grind. I love Forza Horizon - but 4/5 don’t feel as brilliant as 3 did. 3 was a solo players dream. I don’t play online ever. I’m connected but I only player solo modes. So it’s more noticeable to me when those aspect invade a game.
I like Xbox and GPU but it’s got it’s draw backs and I’d rather just buy the games I want and the focus is on balance and not just keeping people hooked.
The real truth and I am a XSX owner and a GPU subber - Xbox continue to damage the industry for self gain. We will get less games from these companies they gobble up. They have plenty of IPs they do nothing with. Plenty that would sell well.
@MeloMan no they can they can even replicate it again. And sell it again. It’ll look identical but it’ll be a different NFT. Only the details in the blockchain would be different. That’s my understanding.

Same people after mk8 gets double the amount of tracks for £22
“These tracks are just from the mobile game and we can play them on that”
“Why don’t the release these tracks for over twice the price as mk9 instead”
You are twisting my melon man.

I’ll spend a good few hours editing teams!

Re: Soapbox: Don't Cheer For Corporate Takeovers - It's Not A Game
The new rules of being a “real gamer” is you must justify and be behind anything MS do….
Blindly you must cheer it all. They are the saviours.
I own a XSX but the way the Xbox only fans have carried on is eye rolling. I can’t imagine being that loyal to a bit of plastic under my TV.
Independent 3rd party studios and publishers are vital. Losing the massive IPs we have is a bad thing for all of us. Including Xbox box only folk.
