I saw this but didn't have enough plat points

So is this game dead or not??? Are we getting more karts or not??

I could by wrong but doesn't Doug Bowser have ZERO say in the development of Nintendo Products and games?? Other then what purple colour to make the button on the NES

@Anti-Matter It also cannot play any Kinect games (by design)

Poor Xbox Series S customers have a 100gb install for GTA V which is like a third of the drive l!

I was gonna say Why the HELL has this not been announced for Switch. Nintendo needs to get more hands on with the Pokemon company and start doing more then selling teddies and overpriced chairs

I think Nintendo needs to stick with console games. Niantic games are boring.

Imagine if Phil Spencer and Doug Bowser come out and announce Goldeneye for N64 Online and Gamepass. The two companies have agreed to share the license.

I believe the physical version will be a massive collectors item in the future and is the one to get.

I like the expansion pack as I sat through the Animal Crossing directing thinking I was going to be buying the AC DLC and the N64 expansion. And honestly I believe the service will grow in games and platforms over time.

Also I pay for the family pack so everyone can use their own profiles in my house.

@ItsOKToBeOK buy the dlc if you want to pay once.

I wish the Mario Switch was OLED. That was the one I wanted. Truth is the white Dock would not look as good in my living room. My wife would hate it, and so she doesn't even realise it is the upgraded one.

@Darkyoshi98 Did you know you can order the game from official Nintendo Store and receive the digital eShop code but also any pre-order physical bonuses as well such as sricker sheets, keychains, etc.

I think an extra £10 to the family plan is fair.

I only played the original Metroid on the NES as a kid, I remember beating it over a weekend at a friend's house. I also saw how crazy collector rare the Samus Returns collector edition was so splurged for the Special Edition. It is really nice!

Also got the new Switch OLED but went for black as the white would not look good in my living room.

Nintendo will sell out of all Switch OLED's. But I think the lack of a huge Animal Crossing type release on the horizon investors are not as interested. Nintendo doesn't care because when they win they win big.

Here is a fact. Square-Enix is not going to re-port 10 games to run on the underpowered Switch. Even games like KH3 would not run at all or look horrible. This is the only way we are seeing KH on the Switch. If you prefer to own the games and boxes then there are other platforms which you already own including PC which you can do that.

Cloud streaming is going to be way more common as we go forward so prepare your expectations.

Them $40 skins x 10000000000000 mobile games. Lot's of whales!

I think as Switch owners we have to face the facts that 3rd parties are not going to keep making dumb down ports for Nintendo, so the cloud option really opens the door for more graphically intense games like KH3.

And yet Dragon Quest heroes 1&2 for the west has not come to Switch even though a localisation has been done for the game. It's obvious Square-Enix hates westerners.

Look Nintendo spend some money and get proper desirable 3rd party support like the mini consoles and make a gamepass style service for all your retro games and systems.

So why doesn't Nintendo just spend some money with 3rs parties and make a true Gamepass service with as much as the classic libraries as they can get onto the service and charge one price for it all.

I don't think there is enough dedicated ram to the OS to do native voice chat on the Switch. But the lack of party chat and messaging even through the app means Nintendo doesn't want to do it. Voice chat through the app works great but nobody uses it. Sad.

This is the kind of thing Nintendo needs to do with Virtual Console, make it into a Gamepass like service. Also don't discount the Microsoft/Nintendo love fest. Banjo could be coming to Switch via N64 games.

I am actually excited to try out Labo VR with it...see if games like Breath of the Wild look better.

I am hoping for a Double Dare stage.

It's time for Nintendo to make their own Gamepass like service and spend some actually money to get third parties on board.

I managed to pre-order the white model at Smyths.

I would not be surprised of Pokemon was absent from the releases.

Given the fact the magazine is basically a catalogue ad for all their products this is still a perfect thing to offer on MyNintendo for free w/shipping. The Animal Crossing section and the clothing section is just awesome! I am tempted to buy the Japanese one off ebay.

I own the airship and Lego Luigi and it is stellar!

@FantasiaWHT Most charities are tax free business. I mean you get moralising from Ben and Jerries and then charities.

@ShaneReactions Ironically Salvation Army is a terrible place to go to church as well.

Why can't Activision release Skylanders Imaginations digitally for Switch with digital characters. That would sell.

Look Nintendo needs to figure out what Nintendo Switch Online is. Is it a less then stellar Virtual Console service? Is it access to online voice chat and stable servers? Is it a bonus programme?

I think given how little is added to NSO for the past couple of years Nintendo is either satisfied with the takeup or they are hopefully planning something bigger. But honestly I have come to the conclusion Nintendo is done with Virtual Console as a whole. Why give away the milk when you can sell it for $60. They could give us GBA Online, but instead they are porting the best games to Switch and charging full whack. And we buy them.

As for NSO online services I suspect they will quietly keep adding more to it (gawd I hope messaging) and making it work better. But I don't think we will see any major improvements until the Switch 2.

And BTW I have to pay £35.00 a year (same as Xbox Live Gold) for NSO because I have a family that uses it.

When is Bethesda going to over the title of the game.

I went to ALDI and came home and a new switch was announced at like 2pm. What??!!

I go to the store for one hour and THIS happens!!!

How about printing more of the actual Dread Amiibos they are all sold out to scalpers and the game isn't even out yet.

This was leaked by the scalper bots who already bought them all. £99 for AiAi anyone?

Seriously though does this mean it will scan into Smash and we will get Monkey Ball Spirits in Smash??!!

Let's hope this signals more karts and updates in the future. This game has potential with more cardboard AR object to buy (think Peaches Castle you drive through) and characters/tracks.

Now let's hope this means more karts are one the way!

I am gonna be honest I am hype for Skyrim Dragonborn!

After Link's Awakening sold well even though it's a handheld remake for $60 the greed gloves are off. And basically Nintendo knows if they keep back the catalog they can sell us those games again for $60 each not $10.

Imagine how many more games they would sell if Metroid was in the Switch!

As an aside a friend got the brand new NES with R.O.B. and Duck Hunt with a stack of games. So we spent the weekend and I played and beat the original Metroid. I was 12 and much beter at finishing games then. I also remember years later playjng a smup hellicopter game for 24 hours straight until I beat it. Now I am old and get fed up after an hour.

@mjharper That is when you call the Nintndo power hotline and they walk you through for a dollar a minute.

Nintendo needs to do one of three things with Amiibo..

1. Discontinue them with the last Smash Fighter
2. Embrace toys to life again and fully support within all first party games including Amiibo cards, etc. Make allot more and stock them in retailers intl.
3. Create a My Nintendo Amiibo club. Where those members get first crack af pre-orders and make Amiibo actually about the collectors and not just limited scalper fodder.

@Guitar_bard horse armour 2.0

Come on Reggie give us Mo....I mean Dragon Quest Heroes 1&2 and then this other stuff.

Japan does not like us to have their games. I never hear of Skyrim not releasing in the east.
