The article surprised me as Double Dash has always been my least favourite. I liked it but not as much as the other entries. Definitely the version I’ve played the least. There no bad Mario Kart though, you can’t go wrong which ever you play.

I'd love for this to be good but the style of it is so generic I find it a bit off putting. The world doesn't look very Sonic at all, just another fairly realistic open world, which seems to be a missed opportunity to make something a lot more interesting. Not saying the graphics are bad, just a bit boring.

I forgot about this! I think I still have my copy somewhere.

I really love the art style. It reminds me of Ivor the Engine!

I enjoyed the first game but I hated the rabbids. The game would be so much better without them, but i guess they were always going to be in the sequel.

I really enjoyed Sword/Shield. Probably my favourite gen since Gold/Silver. It's a shame not everyone loved them but I think they're great games.

I've really enjoyed them. Probably my favourite generation since gen 2.

The art style alone is enough to make me want this game. I wish more games looked this good!

I think this looks so good. I’m much more interested in this than I would be a normal mini figure style set. I guess they can’t please everyone but I’m lucky they’re pleasing me!

This game is fantastic!

I'm really enjoying it. Put in nearly 15 hours without even realising it. I've not even had much of a look at the wild area yet. Two thumbs up from me. Glad it's doing well, not that its surprising it is Pokemon after all. All the controversy came from a vocal minority who care about national dex, fps and shadows.

I think the reduced dex is actually a benefit it makes it much more interesting to see what Pokemon turns up next. I might actually try to catch them all this time! The whole experience feels fresher than it has in years.

Someone should set up a website that reviews game reviews! There seems to be an audience! Jeepers!

I’ve found a nice collection of sites whose opinion I value and I Dont really pay much attention to the rest. If I find a site I don’t click with I just don’t go there. Simple! All I want from a reviewer is to tell me what they think, what they like, what they don’t, not pander to some imaginary generic gamer.

If I was going to get one of the Disgaea gamea which one should I get? I've always been tempted to give the series a try.

@dew12333 I think its more to do with how Brexit goes down. If we leave without a deal on April 12th then there could be a lot of different issues with posting a product from within the EU out to the UK. Probably easier to just leave the UK out of things until things are worked out. I wonder if Nintendo will have to eventually set up a UK office?

The Wii Shop (and access to its many SNES games) is being turned off at the end of this month. that might eb a good time to offer a new way to play SNES games. Fingers crossed!

This sounds interesting and at the very least different.

Trouble is some people don't want this to exist, at least in this form, so it definitely shouldn't exist just because lots of people do want it. Companies like Game Freak should get approval from the Council of Fans before they do anything in case it displeases the sacred elders and they have to release their true weapons, review bombs and angry comments. Buying these games isn't optional, even for people that don't like the look of it, so no wonder its sold well. If only the people who don't want it could just leave it and play something else until generation 8 arrives. If only that was an option.

Do people know that buying these games is completely optional? That there are more traditional sequels coming possibly as soon as next year? That not every game is for everyone? It’s okay for a company to make something you don’t want.

I can understand not liking the look of these games, not being interested in them and not buying them. What I can’t understand is why some people are so angry and upset about their very existence. If you don’t like the look, idea or price of them just don’t buy them. Don’t have a review bomb hissy fit or shout at everyone who does like them. Generation 8 is on the way, forget about Let’s Go and focus on looking forward to them.

This looks great, especially the graphics. Are the dungeons designed or randomly generated? I can't stand randomly generated levels!

Shame the Hori Dpad joycons have only come with ugly weird markings all over them in the west. I'd been holding off importing one but looks like thats my only option if I want a nice plain blue one.

I prefer the look of this to the more realistic style of the original. I'll happily grab this.

@Rika_Yoshitake you think MHGU should have got less?

I think this looks fantastic and it way more my sort of thing than Monster Hunter. Nothing wrong with like that though.

I think it UI is perfectly fine as it is.

@HappyRusevDay I love short but sweet experiences like this. For me a game has to have a really good reason to be longer than 15 hours!

That orchestrated music is lovely

@Reignmaker it is weird how people get outraged when they don’t want something. They take it weirdly personal. Buying is totally optional and it’s perfectly fine to not want it but this looks like it will be really popular, especially in japan. There’s a new ‘proper’ game coming but in the meantime people can play this if they like, and I’m sure it will do wonders for switch sales. Struggling to see how this is a bad thing!

@SmaggTheSmug in terms of the MtG situation, if you’re referring to the mtghq banning I think wotc did the right thing banning him. He’s a pretty toxic YouTube drama chaser who was prominently bringing and encouraging some horrid behaviour to what is a mostly really nice community. As it’s a game that relys on having a real life community I think it was right for them to step in.
It’s a shame for HQ, who in older videos could be quite likeable but the more he doubled down on his edgelord for views personality the less I found myself able to watch his videos. I used to enjoy his pack openings a lot. I think wotc we’re right to get involved in this case but I think it’s a risky line to tread and I hope it’s not something they’ll have to do often. HQ was sort of public figure which I think factors into why Wotc didn’t ignore the situation, he was representing their game in a way they felt was very negative.
The modern reality is games aren’t self contained any more and things that happen on social media platforms can feed into a games community, so company’s can’t ignore it, it’s just how they do it that will the biggest issue going further.

Ps. Nice to see another MtG player down here! I’d love Magic Arena to make it to Switch!

I have this on WiiU but never got past the second world because it was tied to the tv. Ill be rebuying this for the portability alone. Can’t wait!

This looks great! I’d rather have it without wireless and it be cheaper. It gives the option for a dpad in portable mode which is pretty swish. I just hope it’s a good dpad and the whole thing isn’t silly expensive.

@Shinnos Celeste is my next eshop game after I finish the brills 'Night in the Woods'.

It looks ace!

@gatorboi352 Would you say it’s a big problem if it’s just a brief fad? Something temporarily super popular before the world moves on. That seems like a perfectly fine proposition to me. I think that Labo will have a market for maybe a year or two then it will phase out. It will make Nintendo some money while it’s popular, help sell switches increasing its user base, which in turn will encourage other developers. Best of all when the toy cons are no longer wanted they can be recycled rather than going to landfill. a fun chapter for those that are interested. I can’t see a problem with this.

Or R.O.B. 2?

Maybe a 2ds equivalent for switch? Joycons attached no dock

Id be happy for it too stick to being games focused rather than some kind of media centre. No harm if they add stuff like this for the people interested though, as long as they dont bog down the lovely speedy OS.

@gatorboi352 I would love a Playstation but know I wouldn't ever find time to play on it. Not loads of games I want but I'd love to play The Last Guardian at some point.

@gatorboi352 I work from home and often play in the room with the TV in it but still always opt for portable mode. Just my preference. That I can play any game wherever I am is a big bonus, the sleep mode letting me stop and start at any part even more so. It's a big enough deal for me that rebuying a game where the only real addition is portability + sleep mode is a major selling point. The last game i played on WiiU was Paper Mario, and I loved it but I struggled to find enough time to sit in front of tV and play to the next save point. On switch I find finding time to game so effortless.

@gatorboi352 Its working for me. I prefer to play on a portable and struggle to find time for playing on the TV. I just find playing on a portable more comfortable. I have DKCTF on wiiU but only played the first world, I'll happily rebuy it on Switch where its portability means I'll finally be able to give it the time it deserves. Currently enjoying Skyrim, which is a game I'd never have found time for as a TV only game but thanks to Switch I'm squeezing it into any break I get. Portable versions of games is a big thing for me at least. I'm hoping for lots more portable ports, the more the merrier!

Looks ace!

I just want Bomberman for £20 ready for some festive family fun. I just can’t justify spending anymore than that on it

I just want a fully localised Secret of Mana collection. Fingers crossed!

I don't want or need any of these apps but as long as adding them remains optional I don't see a problem. Options are good.

The Switch is everything I wanted the WiiU to be. As much as I loved it I always felt frustrated that the gamepad was tied to the TV. It had some great games though and even though they offend some people for some reason I hope they continue to make DX versions of its best games. Theres a big audience that missed out on them the first time, give them a chance to play them. Then people like me have the choice of double dipping if we want too. So many great games I'd happily re-buy so that I can put some proper time into now the Switch can free them from the front room. Everyone that already has them and doesn't want to re-buy them: Y O U D O N O T H A V E T O! Choices are good!

@electrolite77 I've never understood the people that complain about ports but then demand Virtual console, which is a fiesta of ports! Also when the same people demand third party games, and then when we get games like this also complain that it's too old. It's newer than Super Mario World! To be clear I want Virtual Console and whatever ports are coming, the more games the merrier. Even though I'm tempted I think this game is probably too gruesome for me but for people that want it its great the options there. Options are good.

The game looks interesting but some of the creepier character designs put me off a little. I'm going to wait to read some reviews before I rule it out altogether.

I only dock mine for multiplayer games like overcooked and jack box party, although I only get the rare chance for that. I'd say 95% it's a handheld. Love having the option though. Hybrid for the win!

@Nekoo77 Its not unreasonable at all. It might be a nice little feature but its totally not essential. If switch never gets a browser I don't think it would be a problem. I just found the idea that it's the most important thing for Nintendo to be working the switch on funny.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, and an alarm clock, a calculator, a calendar, one of those apps that converts different kinds of measurements (e.g miles into kilometers), a way to use the joycons as spirit levels, a virtual bubble wrap popping thing, a sat nav, a digital personal journal, a word processor, a pdf reader, tax calculator would be good too.

Or they could focus their time and money on making games and keeping the OS nice, simple and uncluttlered. I'll use my phone for all the rest.

I'll probably just wait.

@Shinnos get it matey! I think you'll like it and you have time to finish it before Odyssey
