TryToBeHopeful

@helbertpina The Sega Genesis / Mega Drive app is the one hold out that still hasn’t been updated and still (kind of) has the Switch Online branding.

@aurubaru I have all my powerwash simulator dlc on vinyl.

@Davesy22 they don’t.

@Solid_Python I will be 90. I hope I’ve got more important concerns by then. But of course there will be the 2070 version of the high seas by then, so who cares…

@liljmoore the people who love full games on cartridge are never going to shift their point of view, despite the fact that most games have day one patches.

I got bananza on cartridge and will say it takes up much less space, which is nice. But does it do anything for ‘game preservation’ of course it doesn’t.

@ShadLink I wouldn’t be so sure. Why did they change the names of the themes to add ‘basic’ as a prefix?

I’m presuming switch 1 pro controller and pokeball are fine?

@ferryb001 November . Sorry I was sure it was in the post body as well. My mistake!

Hate to be that guy (mostly) but this is a uk website. It’s 3/11 not 11/3.

@Pillowpants £7.50/year if you have 7 friends. Works for me!

Pit x Ball (how do you pronounce it?) will be getting a proper S2 version in the autumn. There should be a free upgrade path. (According to their discord)

@Nintoz Also neither 10/11 or 11/10 are a Friday.

@SillyG there is a deluxe edition on sale for £24.99 although apparently it’s gone as low as £2.49.

Aww… I had forgotten about Stadia

@Ristar24 do most retro games come out physical though? I play lots of retro, all digital though.

@Ristar24 as is any game with a day one patch.

By year 2 will we be done with game key card ‘news’? Some people hate them, some people aren’t that fussed, isn’t that about as deep as the ‘controversy’ goes? 99% of switch users won’t be aware let alone be bothered.

@beltmenot that was the first one.

Kirby and the forgotten land is the only one I don’t have!!!!

The game’s title is spelt incorrectly in the headline and at least once in the article.

@PlayingWithPower as much as I think Canon is silly, Tetris Canon may be a goal worth striving for. Can we use the character names from that fake / photoshopped manual?

I’m a little confused by the comments. Is a separate s2 version coming out?

@ShieldHero same. I kept the original version on my phone despite all sorts of glitching so that I could avoid IAP and play mini games when I liked. Of course that meant no hd updates so it looked like it was drawn in crayon and viewed through a Vaseline-smeared telescope lens.

The first rule of playtest…

@TKundNobody I pay like £7.50 a year splitting a family account.

@pawlslax did anyone respond to your comment? As this seems to be about the only actual fact here.

@sanderev I just managed to move it back to my switch 1 (regifted to my wife) and you’re quite right (once I realised I had to delete the save on the switch 1 that I had accidentally previously created.).

@Lizuka it happens automatically during the switch 2 migration.

I did start off in the “don’t think it’s worth paying for, don’t buy it” camp but have come to agree that as a free pack-in, this would have been a lovely cherry on the top of the purchase of this new hardware.

I spend £8.99 every time I go to a cafe, and yet… this does feel like it should have been included.

That all said, I really enjoyed it (rated it an 8), have no problem that some of the games will have to wait ‘til I get a camera and pro controller, and thoroughly agree that Floaty Frustration needs to get in the bin.

Get it right, Safari is snappy, Switch is stable!

@gojiguy don’t put the game key cards in your mouth.

I’m not in Japan and have the icon on my home screen as well, because it’s the icon for the saved web page link.

Alarm previews!? Finally!

Now give me Animal Crossong and everything will be ok.

@LastFootnote they do. It’s in settings.

@HingryHuppo I was about to make a similar if more ‘for mature audiences only’ point about another common piece of cutlery. But you’re basically right (unless a particular model of spoon, let’s call
it a zombie spoon, is specifically designed only for offensive purposes). Anyway the other points that don’t seem to have been made, are that no law is cut and dry and the circumstances can always be argued either way, and this lawyer is a) coming from a specific paid point of view, and b) talking specifically about Japanese law. Which may have essentially no bearing outside of Japan (unless it forms part of Trade agreements).

You'll take Manchester, and you'll enjoy it.

@Dogorilla 'T-spin'. Nice. You can also basically play
NES Tetris in Tetris Effect, but there is something very comforting about the NES release for me. I think it was the first game that I really 'got' (and probably our first purchase, not including Super Mario/Duck Hunt. It was also a bit of a family bonding experience.

NES Tetris was my first taste of the game, although I only just realised that Game Boy Tetris technically came out slightly earlier. Maybe it's just my nostalgia, but NES Tetris has always been more fun for me than Tengen Tetris. That all said, the modern versions are much more fun in general. I forgot how hard the randomness, and lack of 'hold' makes the strategy, as well as not being able to spin them forever.

The best thing about this version is the colours and the music, but that's reason enough to play it from time to time (although let's see what the Tetris 99 theme is like...!)

@romanista The M Network games are essentially Intellivision games for the Atari.

I mean the DLC is specifically about the first console war. Why would it have their later output?

Sinister? That’s a lot!

Has anyone checked if cloud saves are uploading properly?

@BJQ1972 Save data uploads are being flakey for me too!

That would be cool. Who knows how long it will be supported with updates, but considering it’s not going on general sale til January, hopefully a while!

@tjhiphop I'm sure that's part of it.

Technically the wattage of a standard usb-a iphone plug (or at least the ones I have around) is 5W and the Alarmo recommends 7.5W. Not sure if it matters.

Mine arrived this afternoon!

It also annoys me that you can't preview the alarms.

Will have to check what the effect of sharing a bed with a partner and a dog has on the motion sensing. We all get up at the same time anyway.

@rainbowtick the only thing that's annoyed me so far is I can't see an obvious way to test the different alarms. Guessing I'll just have to check youtube.

Mine came this afternoon. Very cute, but it's the Animal Crossing alarms that will really make it.

@HotGoomba So close!

I meant to say, I found this news very Alarm(o)ing.
