@stache13 They always were on a surge protector. All my sensitive equipment is and has always been on them.

@Spider-Kev I've had one for ages, Switch 1 was plugged into it and was fine. Switch 2 dock still broke plugged into it.

Yes. A few weeks after launch of Switch 2 we had a brief power cut and the ethernet stopped working. After sending my brand new console back to Nintendo for repair, it was found that the ethernet circuity fried in a surge of power once it came back on.

Makes me nervous of when another inevitably happens.

EDIT: They were plugged into a surge protector, like every other piece of electronics I have are, and it still happened. And the surge protector is still fine, it hasn't stopped protecting.

This should never be just a pop up, it should be a proper shop.

I feel like this was the highlight of the Direct.

Probably the most important question is missing: Do you as a consumer want a Key Card game? The answer is no.

Especially as the Micro Express SD cards are tiny in size right now and unbelievably expensive. They'll be filled in no time with a few full size games downloaded onto it.

Yet another example of why the eShop desperately needs quality control.

I'm not surprised by this at all. To be honest, I thought this would happen the moment EA sunk their claws into them - you could see it coming a mile off. They just destroy everything they touch.

Who needs the Grim Reaper when the world has EA?

@Toastmaster
Feel free to believe whatever you want but do some research and know what you're talking about before before you call someone a liar.

"There [were] numerous projects that were put forward that I believe would have been huge hits, but MS rejected them one after the other. I remember seeing a couple of prototypes that Chris Seavor had designed and was working on, that looked amazing, but alas they got shelved. It seemed that MS didn’t want to take the risk in Rare doing anything outside the younger demographic, they quickly forgot the companies heritage. We started to lose a lot of great talent then, people were losing job satisfaction, so they just left." - Don Murphy; artist, designer of Rare

@Toastmaster A-HAHAHAHA! The fact is Rare wanted to make a few sequels to their games after Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct being one of them. But MS kept turning them down, in fact they turned down pretty much everything Rare pitched and instead put them to work on Avatars and Kinect games no-one asked for or really wanted. They've only been let loose since the XB1 era with SoT and that's after most of the talent who made the games which made Rare left.

I think you need to get your facts straight and do some research before you comment total rubbish.

Sadly he's probably right. Or, give the series to Nintendo and let them do it properly. After the way Banjo-Kazooie has been treated ever since Rare got bought by MS, it's only been Nintendo that's done them justice via Smash.

I already own 23 of those titles for my GameCube. But it'd still be nice playing them again on NSO with its enhanced features.

Happy and sad. Happy as these are awesome and much like the button/controller stick ones a while back I want them all. Sad because I know I'll never be able to get them and the eBay scalpers will be out in force milking you up to the eyes for them while also trying to come back for your sockets too.

The Europe one is brought to you by Microsoft Paint.

Has Sony shifted those PS2 numbers again? I'm sure it wasn't 160 million the last time this story was out...

This is a fantastic addition! I love this game, have done since I bought it for my N64. It never gets the attention it rightly deserves.

Its the stereotypes of the characters which helps give the game so much charm. People really need to stop looking for offence in everything.

The trouble is with these CEO's is that they're usually way out of touch with what us gamers want. 'He' wants to embrace the modern and he has stated that 'it isn't him' - what he want doesn't translate to what the community wants and ignoring your heritage and retro titles will only madden gamers who'll only ask for the mini consoles more. He's alienating an entire demograph which won't end well. Again, its not what he wants, its also wants Sega Japan says so he may well eat his words yet.

And using those excuses to push the agenda of yet another subscription service? Yeah, best of luck with that one. There's for too many as it is.

Moving those goalposts again, huh Sony?

That is a thing of beauty

Seems to me the last guy used Google translate for his post too which failed even more.

Completely pointless

I got some amazing stuff out of the old Club Nintendo; keyrings, mousemats, charm chains, pin badges, dioramas and a few games too across the GBA and GameCube. I miss that catalogue, it was far superior to the near pittance we get now.

The whole point of having your own console platform is to have console specific games, i.e. those exclusive to your own platform which in turn makes consumers buy it. If MS this keeps up, there's going to be no point in owning an Xbox as everything people will want to play will be on other systems. They'll end up putting themselves and the Xbox brand out of business

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!

I'm real tired of this rubbish, its just not funny and totally pointless.

Nintendo really need to get a grip with their eShop and have some sort of quality control. The amount of rubbish released on there is insane. Its probably too late for Switch but something really needs to be implemented for their next system.

I'll probably pick this up as I'm a WarioWare fan and it looks like what WarioWare should be. I was very disappointed in Get It Together and ended up giving it away as I just didn't find it fun.

I love the Metal Gear games and all I can say is; I NEED!

Its simply outstanding in all areas. Its how a remaster should be done. I hope everyone else our there is looking and taking notes.

I did pick this up on release day since I loved the original but haven't gotten round to starting it yet. After seeing all of this I think I'll hang on a bit

See I actually enjoyed this and to me, after Sticker Star is where is all went downhill. Colour Splash and Origami King are by far the worst of the two. I've started both and finished neither because they're just not fun to play. Yeah the humour is there but the combat is atrocious and kills the games.

And I had such high hopes for Origami King too...

Anybody with working ears and common sense knew what they were saying.

I'd really love to see someone create or port a core that plays Game & Watch games! That would be a thing of beauty!

Base.com are already fleecing us. The price you've shown that they're charging for Soul Hackers is £36.19 but on their website they're wanting £43.49.

Some people just need to get a life

I like it. I can't stand that pretty much every English version is voiced by American actors. Its nice to hear our own voices for a change.

My favourite console by far <3

Mine actually arrived last weekend. And they're lovely too!

As long as its not Waluigi I'll be happy

@damien33ad He's single. Only a single guy would be able to do something like this! Hahahahaha!

Yes please!!! Day one purchase!

Ahh people of the internet...always looking for and convincing themselves that something is there when it plainly isn't.

These people need their Switch dev licences taken away from them. I thought the WiiU eShop was filled fill of tripe but its got nothing on the Switch's eShop.

Where is Nintendo's quality control over their shop?

Shantae isn't on your list and should be. I bought that.

My game of the presentation right here. Day one buy, don't care the price.

#ShantaeForSmash

I have this and its lovely. The images througout are so high quality and it makes me yearn for a GameBoy (the whole GB line actually) Visual Compendium even more.

And for everyone in here in the UK;

I stumbled across this a fair few months ago and pre-ordered it then.

They've been scraping the barrel with characters for this game for quite some time now.
