I have a 64GB Sandisk MicroSD that I'm currently using in my GoPro. But I very rarely fill it up, so might use that for the Switch to begin with.
Just be wary, there are MANY fake MicroSD cards out there (much smaller than the advertised capacity) and even the big retailers have trouble telling them apart from real ones!

I'm not too bothered about paying $10 if it's going to be a good game. But I would have preferred if the game had a free demo (perhaps with limited use like the ones on the eShop) so you could decide for yourself. If you like the game, then pay the one-off fee to unlock the full game!

What I don't like is that unlike Club Nintendo, there is no way to register physical copies any more. You only get gold coins when you actually buy software on the eShop. Is it asking too much to put a PIN code in the software box like before?

I'm getting the Callie and Marie amiibos as soon as they go up for pre-order on the Nintendo UK store! The others I'm not so sure about - depends if they have different functionality to the originals, such as unlocking new missions for single player. If not, then I'll stick with my originals.

If this is the final design for the controller, I may not even bother getting an NX. Where are the action buttons? It's just not the same fighting in Zelda or jumping in Mario without pressing a physical button (I don't care too much for smartphone games; they just don't feel right). Perhaps the time is right for me to consider switching to one of the other console manufacturers...

This looks intriguing, like a first person shooter without the shooting. But I really don't care for FPS games, and this one looks like it also has the obligatory nausea-inducing shaky cam, so probably giving it a miss...

It would have been nice if they'd given us the option to use the Wii Remote, for people who played the Wii version and are used to the controls. But Gamepad controls are still really good. Maybe they could add it in an update, with the option to switch between Wii Remote and Gamepad as a controller.

Doesn't look like anything good for me this week. I've pre-ordered a physical copy of Twilight Princess HD, so won't be downloading it.

I loved Abe's Odysee/Exoddus on the PSX, looking forward to picking up the Wii U version!

I actually imported the e-Reader and some of the Mario cards from the US. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the European version of the game had the e-reader mode disabled! Despite having the cards, the reader and a link cable I couldn't play any of these levels. Will certainly be picking up the Wii U release when it comes out in Europe!

What I'd really like to see from an update is raising the friend limit! 100 friends is too few, particularly if you're popular. It should be 500 or 1000!

Even though I have Toki Tori already for both Wiiware and Wii U, I think I'll still get the 3DS version particularly as it's cheap! Not too sure about the two new Wii U downloads though...

I'm surprised that the update won't be released until AFTER the European Splatfest! You'd think people would want the adjustments before a big event like this - as it is, this'll be the last chance to use all those sneaky shortcuts and OP weapons!

Supposedly Race the Sun is also arriving this week, having been delayed from last week. Looking forward to getting that along with Sonic 2!

So if your save happens to get soft-locked by an Octoling hacker and you've recently made a backup to USB (I do almost daily), can you copy the USB backup back to your console and get all your progress back? Or would that result in having to start the game over from the beginning?

I'd probably get this, if I didn't already have the Amiibo and Mario hat! Also I have a feeling the T-shirt wouldn't fit me...

This makes me glad that I cancelled my GAME pre-order and went with the official Nintendo store! First Splatoon, now this... I'm still going to check my bank account to make sure nothing's been charged though.

The graphics remind me of Knytt Underground, looks promising...

Would get Yoshi's Wooly World but I already have the physical copy on pre-order (along with the Amiibos). So it'll probably be Shiftlings, if the review is favourable.

I'd pre-order it now... if I could actually find it on the official Nintendo store! May have to do it through Amazon or GAME (and hope the lorry doesn't get stolen this time!)

Not getting it - still have my Wii disc version and it works perfectly

I went to see Tomorrowland yesterday, and there was a Splatoon commercial before the movie. Thankfully they didn't have any of those stupid songs! I've also seen a brief TV spot promoting the game, not to mention banner ads on many sites I visit that link to the official Nintendo UK store.

It was a fun experience and I've already pre-ordered the full game. I had a couple of occasions where it said 'session full' or 'communication error' when looking for players, but never in mid-game. No noticeable lag, but there were several times I got a double-KO (splatted each other at the same moment). My last match, however, was a bit unfair. One of my team-mates disconnected before the match started, and another team-mate didn't move at all, so it was 4 against 2!

I sometimes fly a quadcopter myself and would love to give this a try - I could get used to performing tricky manoeuvres without the risk of damage to my real one!

Already got it and completed it on both Wiiware and Wii U, no point buying it again.

I got a 16GB MicroSD card that I was using in an adapter on my old 3DS. So I just had to take the card out of the adapter and put it in the New 3DS once the transfer finished. Not planning on getting this game, but if I did, I'd buy it on a game card - prefer to do that with retail releases.

Not perfect - I don't like how Mario appears to be in front of the thing he's standing on. It would need a little tweaking before I'd play an entire game like this. SMW might not even work as a 3D classic, as there is generally one background layer and one foreground layer.

Oddly, the patch downloaded ok for me on my New 3DS, but when I play the cartridge on my original 3DS I don't even get a prompt for it. Don't think it's going to be compulsory like SSB and Mario Kart, since Majora has no online functionality.

Twice I've had a glitch in the Snowhead dungeon where a White Wolfos starts running in circles and never attacks you. It also becomes invincible - can't be defeated by any means! I also entered the bottom room with the lava pits as Deku Link once. Before I have any control of Link, a fire skull comes out of the lava and kills him - so I'm trapped in a respawning loop...

I'm in two minds about this. The Gamepad is good in its own way and can be used for innovative purposes (as Nintendo Land and Rayman Legends demonstrate), but I do believe there should be an option for people to use a different controller if they choose. I often play until my Gamepad battery runs out, and want to continue with a Wii Remote or Classic Controller Pro - only to find most games require the Gamepad to be present to actually start.

Well, I don't like sports games of any kind so I'll give Baseball Stars 2 a miss. The Dynastic Hero is interesting though...

On the plus side, it has a nice animated intro and good music, plus you can play it in 60hz mode on a PAL Wii. However, since the game play is EXACTLY the same as Wonder Boy, it's really not worth getting if you've already got that. If not, then Dynastic Hero is a must-have!

I downloaded SMB2 Lost Levels straight away; don't want to miss the chance to have the original - even though I already have Mario All-Stars for SNES!

I hope they don't make the game 'expire' at the end of September and auto-delete from your Wii!

Great game; downloaded it as soon as it came out at midnight and have been playing it all day! I wonder if Nintendo will ever update it to make use of the Gamecube pad rumble feature, or release the 64DD extras as downloadable updates?
