I miss the cool game merch and actual full games. This My Nintendo discount stuff is poop. I can't even be bothered with it anymore.

Nintendo's commercials always make me cringe, lol

I thought Monster Hunter Stories looked pretty awesome. I'm not a big fan of the MH games but I would have bought that one if it released here in the UK.

I'm trying so hard not to say something bad right now. But this angers me, brexit angers me, the leave campaigners and the people that voted leave without realising the full consequences of their actions anger me. This country angers me. This isn't even the start or the end of the price hike trend. It's everywhere. As someone already pointed out it's just £2 but that's a 25% increase. The value of the GBP has plummeted and prices all around are rising to ridiculous and sometimes unaffordable highs. Before the price rise I still felt like we got charged a premium or something for everything in the UK as if we were all rich (especially in Northern Ireland since we were off the mainland and treated like a castaway, unwanted, subsidiary of the UK) but now it's just gotten ridiculous.

[sigh] Rant over. Hopefully we don't see any more price rises. Like the Switch rising to £349.99 or something. That would be horrible. Luckily I'd still have that Amazon pre-order price guarantee though, lol 💀

I'm so sick of people saying this has "gimmicky" controls. If you don't like the joy-cons then buy a pro controller and enjoy your "normal" controls. Personally I think the joy-cons have a very nice control scheme and the addition of extra features (beyond what's considered "normal") means that there are even more fun and immersive possibilities for games to take advantage of.

Man I feel bad for Poochy in that video. D: Dang it Yoshi.

I was really hoping the Switch version would make use of all the Joycon's features.

I just want more details. I want to hear more about the online services and I want them to announce some surprise games that are coming out at or close to the launch of the system.

I'm getting BoTW on the Switch for two reasons. 1 is because it's the only launch title I'm interested in. And 2 is because I want to be able to play it everywhere. I've always dreamed of the day a console released that let me play full console games anywhere and with the Switch it feels like that dream can finally be realised. Now if the game developers will just start supporting it.

I can fit a 3DS XL or a 7" tablet in my jeans pockets. I think if you take the Joycons off you could easily fit it all in your pockets. But really I'll just be keeping it in a protective case in my messenger bag.

Got Breath of the Wild and the Switch (neon colors) pre-ordered on Amazon UK. I was looking for the Master edition for BoTW but couldn't find it. I wonder if the special edition is the same as the US's master edition.

@Solid_Stannis I actually really love translucent shells on electronics. I think it's very cool and interesting to be able to see the components that make up the device.

That was pretty cool. A nice summary and it was quite informative. I never even knew the Super Gameboy existed but I do now. XD

Well I live in Northern Ireland so I know this isn't going to be something I get a chance at. Even if it came to the UK it would still exclude Northern Ireland, lol ...Everything does...

@speedracer216 #dealwithit This is possibly the most accurate description I've seen here. Love the way you summarized it, lol

Hmm, it's too early for me to make any judgements really although I can say that it looks nice and I liked that sword in the stone opening. 😂

Welp, time to go replay HG. It saddens me that they didn't add this system to the final game. Still the Switch version might happen which would be cool.

@SanderEvers So what you're saying is that Nintendo has a..Mighty Switch Force..huh? 😂 Dedicated to building the hype for this console.

I loved the Xbox 360 and the Wii and I spent a lot of time on both back when I was a kid. Eventually I sold my Xbox 360 along with its games but I still have fond memories of it.

Looking at the picture for this article had me reminiscing on some of the good old days. I loved Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and I had tons of fun playing it with my friends.

I'd love to see a port of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts to the Wii U or even the Switch. Hopefully Yooka-Laylee sates my appetite for a while when it comes out. It looks really hood.

I'm really not interested in My Nintendo. I remember getting cool merch from Club Nintendo just through buying games for their consoles. That system worked and I figured there'd be more awesome loot to collect and new ways to collect points to claim that loot with in this new My Nintendo system but this is just ridiculous. Now the best thing you can get is a percentage off a game or some tiny picross stuff and other meh rewards.

And people are saying "Yeah but we're lucky they even have a system and oh but they don't have to give you anything." But I mean come on, it just feels like a bad attempt. It feels like it could have been so much grander.

-rant over ^_^; Ranting aside, this Miitomo update looks pretty awesome. Lots of features I had been hoping would be part of the original release so it's cool to see them appearing now

We have a surprise announcement for the Switch...and it's competitors

@gcunit Gundammit that is one cheesy post, lol I love it. XD

It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose and that is what unfortunately happened with the Wii U. Rest in peace, you were a great console and I will still enjoy your games for years to come.

Yuga sounds so creepy >.<

Skyrim: Special Edition is 12.6GB on the PC and that's with some mods installed too. It must have some crazy compression or something, lol

@Yoshi Good point, thanks for the reminder

I wonder if it will have a microphone. It would be cool to have a skype or discord app on this and to be able to chat with friends while I'm out on public wifi or a mobile hotspot.

Wait the charging port is on the bottom of the console? So you couldn't flick the stand out and set it upright on a table and charge it at the same time while you're away from the dock (unless there's a portable dock)?

Also does this mean I'm going to have to awkwardly set the Switch into the dock making sure I have it lined up correctly? That sounds like a bit of a hassle really.

As far as games go and usb hard drives I'm fine without them. Generally I buy console games on disc/cartridge because it's cheaper than buying through the eShop which ALWAYS overprices the games. Just one 128GB card could hold a whole host of indie games and media alongside maybe 2 major 3rd party games.

It's more hassle to sit fiddling around with a usb hard drive then it is to carry a little case with my cartridges in it. God, just imagine trying to sit with the console on your lap and a hard drive without the hard drive falling or sitting at an awkward angle and becoming damaged. It's a nightmare. Not to mention the extra battery drain to power the hard drive the whole time AND the noise (if yours is an average drive like mine). Especially if the console has a fan like people are speculating it does in which case you'll have two sources of noise over your game which would be infuriating. Best keep your headphones on hand in that case.

Well the thing that got me annoyed was that the footage wasn't real, it was of games that aren't even in the development stages for the console so really we don't even have an idea of what it can play. We just have an ideal of what it can play and that's never good.

However if it can play games like Skyrim and Breath of the Wild fine then yeah, my next worry is what the battery life will be like outside the house. It needs to be AT LEAST 5 hours of gaming. For me anyways. XD

How I long for the day when the world is like it is in the commercials where you see people with their 3DS or Switch or whatever outside or on the train or bus playing games and having fun. Where I live you're not a gamer or you're frowned at and usually made fun of for playing any console or game to do with Nintendo. Nothing Nintendo related sells well here. People just want shooters and e-sports on their Xbox and Playstation.

Though I do admit I have urking questions to be answered by Nintendo about the Switch.

I'm actually kind of glad there aren't any more awesome Wii U or 3DS games coming out this year (Except Pokémon of course) because I'm currently unemployed and this gives me a chance to save up the money to buy Nintendo Switch and maybe a game or two when it releases (providing it is in fact affordable of course).

I think people are expecting to see like cities of people, gorons, zoras and roaming traders and stuff like that but this is still just a tiny portion of the map and it seems to be a very far out place full of bokoblins and the odd animal/creature. I mean I'm sure there will be stuff reminiscent of Zora's Domain and Death Mountain, Kakariko Village, etc. somewhere and who knows how the world might change in-game while you play further into it. I doubt it's going to be "follow the hermit", lol

I love the look of the game so far though, everything I've seen just makes me more excited to play it in March, hopefully on my new Nintendo Switch.

Just try to reserve your judgements of the world until you've gotten your hands on the game. You know it's not going to be as cut and dry as it looks. It never is. XD

In regards to the show I didn't have a clue what they were saying the whole way through but I still found myself having fun and laughing with them. It was pretty cool. I loved that bit where they actually called Aonuma to ask how to beat the boss(?), hahaha!

I like the return of the c-buttons. Also this is pretty cool, during the live blog I was thinking about how cool it would be to have a 3D render to look at. XD

I'm assuming amiibo will be scanned on the back of the console the same way most phones scan nfc tags. I also feel that the screen will be a capacitive touch screen because this would open it up to a lot more games and apps and could also let you type in social fields such as Miiverse which would be handy.

But that's all really just hopeful. We'll just have to see what happens. XD

I'm also hopeful that there will be white and red versions (red would be awesome)

To watch it on Nintendo.com or Nintendo.co.uk that is the real question right now. XD

Anywhere I can watch it? I want to have the link open so I don't miss it, lol

Calling it now, they're developing a full-dive vr system and they're going to use a copy of the world seed to make the best open world mmorpg ever created. 😀😂

@SM4SHshorts I feel your pain, I'm usually stuck on that last percentage too. XD

It is fun to play but there's so much lost potential in my opinion. If I could bring just one thing back from the original Paper Mario games it would be the ability to have multiple unique and fun companions.

@A01 I kept reading the title as Star Wars. Must have looked at it 4 times and still saw Star Wars, lol

Needless to say I finally put my glasses on and went Ooooooh

This battle system, painting the cards and flicking them is really, REALLY getting annoying. It could be fun if it wasn't so darn tedious but you just keep having to look down, scroll through a mega list, pick some, tap and hold, flick, wait, action command, repeat. And then afterwards what do you get..coins..woo..because there are so many fun items to buy with those coins right guys? Oh wait, it's cards or things. Yay...

And look at all the super fun and charming companions accompanying you on your journey to help you out and make it fun...oh wait it's just huey telling you about that time he told you to press up on the d-pad to talk to him because it's lonely in your pocket. Yeah. So fun.

But harsh feedback aside, I do really like the world. It's got a nice, unique style that's colorful and fun to explore with some nice puzzles thrown in.

Personally I would have given the game maybe a 6/10. But that's just me. I don't know why I can't just accept that they've ruined the franchise and are never going to make it good again. I just don't want to. But I think maybe it's time. Maybe I can find some redemption and forgotten joy in Breath of the Wild when it releases.

I just really miss Bombette, Parakarry, Kooper, Goombario, Lady Bow, Watt, Sushie and Lakilester. The item system and all the interesting npcs with an amazing plot and adventure.

Don't get me wrong, I love the sticker system and I think the worlds are kind of cool in Sticker Star and Color Splash seems to be better (haven't gotten my hands on it yet) but I just feel like they don't live up to the original Paper Mario 64 or Super Paper Mario.

Does this mean that we won't be able to just use online features on the bottom screen like we could in OR/AS? It sounds like we have to go to a specific location now which could be fun but kind of frustrating at the same time.

£250 is my limit unfortunately so if it does in fact end up going for £350 then I'm afraid I won't be getting it that early, no matter how much I want it.

Has anyone heard anything about this game at all? I've been pretty excited about it and I just remembered it's existence and thought "hey I wonder if that ever released". Needless to say I'm disappointed to find it hasn't.

The hype for this game just keeps building and after watching that video it literally multiplied. It looks amazing and Grant Kirkhope as well as the lovely team at Playtonic Games have really brought me back to my childhood with the nostalgic soundtrack and whacky characters. I know I'm going to love this game and I really can't wait to play it. So glad I backed it.

I have to admit, they've got my interest here 😂 I'd contemplate buying something like this. I actually remember doing a project very similar to this in university.

@Uncensored Yes! I totally agree, hahaha
Super Paper Mario is one of my favorites.

I'll admit I was reading some of the comments and it took me a minute to realise they were using sarcasm. Well played, lol

This game just looks terrible though, I can't believe they let stuff like this in the eshop. >.<

What the heck is going on with that shy guy one though? XD

I can see it now: The Direct goes live the day before Zelda Breath of the Wild releases, announces NX, details, snazzy 3D showreel, hands-on videos, corny jokes and typical Nintendo antics, then the game announcements, Metroid, Star Fox, Pokemon, Zelda, Pikmin, Smash, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Animal Crossing, Splatoon and I can't even be bothered listing 3rd parties all being developed and soon to be released for the system over the next two to six months.

At the end "Out tomorrow alongside The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild along with a special edition Breath of the Wild NX console at a price of just $349. Also play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the new Nintendo NX console at these select retailers starting next week. lists some retailers"

I'd eat my fist.
