This controller is great and reminds me of the old days playing the SNES. Always loved the colour scheme and is the best way to play some classic SNES games. π
Pokemon games have lost there magic for me. Pokemon directs are never great either. Hoping this game proves me wrong. Hoping next year there is a killer game that convinces me to upgrade. π
@NinjaWaddleDee totally agree. On the last one before the pokemon present I said I hoped the company would respect the fans but I had such hateful messages.
I picked up a Wii copy before it was announced. The price point is bad and is a bit similar to how Luigi's Mansion 2 HD was handled (and should have contained 1!)
Its a shame as if it was lower price it could do much better. Β£40 is way too steep, Β£30 or below would do better.
I hope they do a new DK game and go 3d again one day!
Ironically I picked up a loose copy of tooie recently π looks like its been cleaned up a bit to run better. Nice birthday present for next week π
Loved being able to put it straight on the TV. Gotta be honest some of the episodes had sounds issues which made it seems like they were badly pirated π will miss the app. Wish they'd just done everything on there though.
Sounds rather depressing to win the award but not be able to celebrate and thank the people who got you there and the fans. Sounds poorly run and those in charge need to remember it's not a fast food joint. Hope this improves for the better! Great piece Zion. π
I believe this was to fix a issue on some Switchs with the battery not working properly. I know due to a free repair that I just had on a standard one. The battery was dieing after 20 mins. Glad it's working fine and had the update put on a few days ago.
Absolutely gutted that it's going, will be sorely missed. I can say from buying both magazines they are brilliant. I'll have to buy a few more before they completely go. Much love β₯οΈ
One of the biggest disappointing games ever. Didn't evolve, lack of content and too many issues. I think 'Charged' is frustrating at times but still way more fun!
Question: what's the best controller for virtual console games? Trying to play dk 64 and would rather play on the TV. Thought a gc controller would work but was disappointed when it wouldn't work.
It could happen, especially with Banjo-kazooie coming to Switch online. Only time will tell but until its official its not happening..... Yet! π» π¦
I really liked there videos but hopefully they will go onto something new. 8 years wow and that was Wii U time as well so they've done well π good luck guys π
I love the idea and from my favourite Mario game but yes the price is interesting. Will it drop with some cool deal happen? Have to keep an eye out for this! ππ€
Sorry but what *****! Ruin it for everybody else. It's sad to see this happening π not true fans just nasty Scalpers! I really hope pokemon release more to stop this happening. Collecting the cards just ain't as fun these days.
I can't imagine playing any of these games. Same thing happened last time. Must try to include a new library of games as these drip re-release games are losing their impact. Hoping for some more exciting in the future π€
Already ordered last week. I hope this is done properly as I never got my splatfest top ordered over 2 months ago. Got a refund. Brexit was the reason. Hope they have the delivery's sorted π€ much better though
@Bunkerneath yes I had the same issue with the Splatfest t-shirt! Had to order a 2nd time.... Still never got it after over 2 months and they blamed it on Brexit which could be true as never had these issues before.
@AndyC_MK apologies my issues are with the points for races e.g. You need this character and these kart parts to get a high score. I like the idea but not the points bit. Glad you are enjoying it ππ

@NinjaWaddleDee totally agree. On the last one before the pokemon present I said I hoped the company would respect the fans but I had such hateful messages.

Thanks for your honest thoughts. π

Re: Ash Ketchum And Pikachu's Time In The PokΓ©mon Anime Is Coming To An End
It's sad but it's needed to happen eventually.
PokΓ©mon will continue to develop and to say goodbye to Ash and Pikachu will be nice.
The first movie and the original series has always had a place in my heart and funny errors if you spot them π
Excited to watch the last few episodes with Ash and Pikachu!
