@NightBeast Ah ok, noted. Thanks!

@gaga64 I think we have one, fair point!

@MichaelP Hades Switch physical sales didn't contribute to its stat-line in this case. For sure some Tokyo Olympics sales were Switch copies, so it is 5 by that metric

Either way, Switch games are still selling in very reasonable numbers at the moment in the UK market.

@MichaelP I meant exclusives (or in the case of Minecraft, its own Switch 'entry' in the charts), I've corrected this.

@Moistnado This is a very quiet period for big new games from all publishers, not just Nintendo, mid-late Summer is often like this

@RupeeClock Put an updated trailer in the article.

@Bunkerneath This was only affecting Guides, so you should be fine!

@Bunkerneath Our technical overlord Mr Dickens has now fixed this, it should be showing in the timeline as well

@Bunkerneath Ah I see, I'll get that looked at!

@Bunkerneath I can see it on the timeline via the Home page, are you on mobile or in a specific category?

@Smores500 Indeed!

@Samuel-Flutter I was happy to see it though!

@ferryb001 That's interesting, the wording in the video is pretty clear but, to be fair, it will be their second language. I'll follow up and get clarity, certainly at this moment it seems to be coming to Switch in the future but if we find out otherwise we'll be sure to share it.

@LinktotheFuture Yeah, that's a good point with the Switch Lite.

@pinta_vodki Yes very true, Wii MotionPlus did use gyroscope technology for its accuracy. I think it was slightly different as when calibrating the centre-point it would have you point at the sensor bar. Same basic idea as the Joy-Cons, but with Switch you don't have the same focal point (which is why I think my Joy-Con hand wanders and I re-calibrate more often).

I think the issue of the 'centre' with Joy-Cons is about what I do as a user, not the technology though

@Kaldrith I like it.

@Kit Yeah, 'Holiday' normally means November / December

@realityxaidan Aaaand, there's the first game we forgot in the poll. But yeah, really good to see the series continuing and moving forward!

@jump Just saw an update on this actually, the Zero Suit Samus and Zelda outfits aren't in the Switch version. Sad times.

@jump Nothing specific mentioned that I've seen, but we'll keep an eye out!

@AndrewSalin I think they stay in the game, you just speak to the mail cat in the centre of the village and download event quests.

@russell-marlow Codes go active when a 'page' is live on the eShop, so something may have gone wrong with the way the game's purchase link connects to the eShop. That's a guess.

@Zeldafan79 Not yet, there was an unspecified issue that mean it's not available to buy yet, as mentioned in the note at the bottom it worked for us via a code from the publisher (so we did play through it on Switch, no worries there).

Dotemu hopes to have it up today or over the weekend, according to their social media updates.

@darkswabber Fair enough, my bad

@nessisonett Fingers crossed...

@Lordplops Nicely done

@NEStalgia It is tempting

@VenomousAlbino It's not as often as you'd think actually! I think you'll be able to keep your cool...

@Screen Yes, overall I think it's enjoyable and the approach to turn-based combat is interesting, in my opinion. I mentioned the long battles as I think it's worth highlighting, but it's a relatively minor complaint - plus you can speed battles up to a degree.

@rjejr The share value appears to be pretty flat so far (that could change), likely because Nintendo is doing what most expected, I think. There was no big upgrade coming this year, otherwise it would have had a showcase reveal, but Nintendo's sales projections are a little down on last year anyway.

So in all likelihood the OLED helps Nintendo hit its sales targets, which delivers the profits. Shareholders arguably don't care about much else.

@Randomname19 Based on the teaser I think most of us did!

Ah yeah, forgot the Korok poo

@Frank-The-Tank You're supposed to press the chosen direction on the stick as you swing, which is a bit awkward in my opinion. I'll add a section asap to talk about how it works.

@Knuckles Speed Golf for cardio, you really get the miles in.

@imagazelle Hi, of course! The motion controls are very accurate, and certainly when I swung more smoothly and realistically I would have better swings in the game. Likewise it's also possible to get shots wrong if you swing badly; in other words I think they did a nice job.

You can add deliberate swerve by holding left or right on the stick as you swing, replicating the way you'd do it with the button controls. It'll need practice though, as holding the analogue stick in a specific direction while also swinging is a little unorthodox. I couldn't find a way to apply backspin and overspin in motion controls though, so it'll be more about judging distance and conventional bounce.

@samuelvictor Awesome, thanks!

@nhSnork Can't win either way, if I DON'T ask the question plenty will ask why!

@Onkel_Laser Oh my, what have I done!

Pokemon gets its own Directs though, right?

0% Labo

Wow, now THAT is a throwback!

@whanvee Thanks for that, and I think a few others have done the same. I added a note to the article.

@gcunit Let's be honest, in the madness of Game Fest / E3 it's easily forgotten...

@Magician Amazon US were sold out when I looked, which was surprising!

@Fighter_Hayabusa To be fair that trailer was for multiple platforms as a 'reveal', it doesn't claim to be Switch footage.

@Toy_Link Ah, thanks!

@JohnnyC Ah good point (assuming the DLC can still be downloaded). The logic was that it's better to find an old one cheap than pay for the rip-off roster updates of 20 and 21.

@Sinton What a good idea, stay tuned...

Corrected the release date, I incorrectly had 19th July, it's out on 29th July

@AcridSkull These were the ones I could see confirmed for Switch, the Showcase had lots of games that are currently only confirmed for PC or other platforms, but of course that may change.

I covered Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo in a separate article too.

Apologies for the headline error, I meant to type Nintendo Switch games, Not Nintendo games.
