@Einherjar Yeah, Ubisoft has done remarkably little to promote it or highlight what it includes.

@dystome Yeah, I'll be doing an article looking at the content, to see whether it's 'worth' buying the pass at this stage.

@kurtasbestos Quite possibly, earlier this year she finished Dragon Quest VII as well.

@cfgk24 I'll check it out!

I also had the email, thanks. I always advise caution when it comes to crowdfunding of course, I'm just keeping people posted that it's a thing that's happening. Scepticism is a healthy thing though, the company will need to prove its solution is of a good quality when all is said and done.

@PlayedNSlayed Review isn't ready yet, but we have an interview with the designer going live before the DL update.

@OorWullie BOOM

@MeloMan "Ultimately, we suggest you don't take this as a cast-iron pointer to the Game Boy Classic being in the works. Nevertheless, it would be no surprise if such a device happens - it'd sell like hotcakes and could be relatively cheap for Nintendo to produce."

Took it seriously enough to look into it Also, we actually bothered to find the European trademark listing that's more limited. I think it's 50/50 with this being a pointer to a Game Boy Classic, but it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually happens. The timing would be interesting though, it likely wouldn't be announced until next year I'd suggest.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Top video is pretty much all gameplay footage.

@OorWullie TRAITOR!

I kid of course. The EU one is a nuisance because of all the discounts listed, so I do the NA one quickly first. Just logistics innit.

That DLC.

With Layton I wasn't even aware of its existence, so it's not exactly heavily plugged... probably a legacy of its smartphone days.

@DoctorWily That... is a good point.

Fear the Sax, or is it SA-X?

@GrailUK I almost went there in the article, but resisted...

@yokokazuo Ah you're right, I thought I saw a SplatoonJP tweet but that was an error. Just EU confirmed so far.

@memoryman3 Yeah, those retail eShop prices are... interesting.

Darn weak pound.

@Brutchie-bear The Nintendo site isn't always right with all of its listings before the day, which is why we mostly stick to what we see on the eShop or is announced by devs.

@Kalmaro Yeah, we're paying obviously for parts and the shell, plus the fact the OS and software for the emulation obviously had to be developed and mastered.

I'm happy to pay, anyway

@ShikabaneHime13 Depends on the information we're given, Nintendo of America doesn't go through discounts and DLC the same way. I suspect the same DLC will be out in North America too.

@BraveFencerZan Yeah, NoA mention it, NoE didn't because it's 6 days away. I think it's Wednesday because Nintendo Japan said so (I believe that's the DL update day there).

@Shiryu We can hope, it's possible they're still trying to get to 60 docked, as it was telling that at both LA and London events they had people playing it on the portable. Maybe that side is locked and set for 30 but the porting team is working to optimise for docked.

Or the upped resolution docked may necessitate a locked 30.

Anyway, it's not really clear. One Italian site broke embargo claiming 60fps docked, but we're unsure of its merits. For now we can only talk about what we saw, which was portable play.

For me, I think it'll be awesome to have games like this on the go, but performance when docked will be something to look out for.

@RainbowGazelle Um, our code came from Nintendo UK.

@rjejr Yeah, we'll hopefully fix the prices soon, as Image & Form have said it's 19.99 Euros.

@imageform Just saw the euro pricing, oops! We'll get that sorted.

@deKay Either will be fine.

@BenAV Then you should have a fun time It's a good game, I've always been a fan of it (despite its flaws).

@BenAV If you have a last-gen system or a modest PC it's worth seeing if it's super-cheap on any of them. It's a nice game to have on Switch, hence the score, but it is pricey.

@holygeez03 I just felt like writing it, but thanks for the cynicism.

Darn. When not playing quite varied games on Switch / 3DS / PC, my PS4 is pretty much an MLB The Show machine (not a diss on PS4, I just have limited time!). Hoped this was good but feared the worst, and Steve's review reinforces what I'd heard about this on other systems.

@Shiryu On those dates presumably, no distinction has been made between eShop and retail by THQ Nordic.

@HeroOfCybertron Got given a US price, $19.99. Probably the same in Euros, maybe £17.99 as a guess in the UK.

@HeroOfCybertron I shall ask.

@SetupDisk Agreed!

@Franklin We're doing a Monster Hunter Stories review, but late access + long game isn't always a great combination unfortunately. It is coming, though.

@GoldenGamer88 Sort of, yes, in that they're turn based battles (I believe). We'll hopefully have a review ready soon, anyway.

@BlueOcean A mix of games as always. It's all opinions, I rate this one highly but some don't. There'll be times we give a 6 or 7 for something when people say it should be an 8 or 9, it goes both ways. I've certainly had my share of remarks along those lines (some accused me of being harsh on Oceanhorn, for example).

My point is that blasé statements of 'they give 8s and 9s to just about anything' aren't accurate. Excuse me for finding it annoying!

@Agramonte Our last 10 review scores - 3,7,5,5,8,4,7,7,7,9.

But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your comment.

@Agramonte Apart from when we don't - https://www.nintendolife.com/switch-eshop/games/browse?score=7%2C6%2C5%2C4%2C3%2C2%2C1&sort=popular&style=cover

@Snakesglowcaps Crikey

@Timppis I looked into Beat Sports on Apple TV (now it's been mentioned I remember seeing its reveal in an Apple conference now!). They're not actually the same game, but this one seems to have revised versions of 2 minigames from that one, with three that are new.

I've added an update. I think Harmonix are still justified in calling this a Switch exclusive, but it's evidently not 100% brand new either. I wouldn't call it a 'port', though

@Alikan Tough crowd...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Nope, because they're not Indies

@607jf Now there's an idea!

@Drac_Mazoku Haha, indeed, I think I know what you're referring to and it certainly made me laugh.

@AlexSora89 Thanks for the kind words, and to everyone else.

And for the record, though I know you're all kidding, I'm not related to Christian Whitehead!

@Captain_Gonru You reboot before you play the game, then it should get past that chokepoint.

And I agree this is pretty poor. Don't blame me, the messenger

@Mario_maniac Ah, I must have missed the little notification window.

@chiptoon There are! I should have mentioned that...

@Tate24 It won't, I'd bet.

@HopeNForever It's been a long week.

@starlac I've fixed that, thanks. It's Kirby's Adventure Wii in EU, but missing the 'Wii' naturally made that confusing!
