@SLIGEACH_EIRE I couldn't care less how many Wii u games you own and I certainly was not trolling. I've just grown weary of seeing numerous tiresome posts from you complaining about the price of things and decided to call you out on it in the vain hope that you might tone it down.
Cartridges all the way for me, for this very reason. Until it becomes standard practice for the download versions to be cheaper I will not even contemplate going all digital
@OzHuski I played it at the switch event last month and I can tell you that the motion control is very smooth and responsive. Feels infinitely better than any Wii boxing games I played.
I'm actually disappointed. I've used the Wii u browser a lot for watching YouTube on my tv and it worked a lot better than the dedicated YouTube app. Hopefully they add one later
@Andrzej777 Seeing as how my 3ds xl was brought back to life, with everything digital intact, after being wrecked when our house flooded for £60 including postage I imagine it will be a reasonably cheap cost
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Well everything anyone would want to hear about the price has been said many times over already, it doesn't need to appear in every comments section related to the Switch from you. Quite frankly whether it's too expensive or a fine price is down for each individual to decide, it doesn't need to be repeated ad nauseam
I'm looking forward to this. Haven't played a street fighter game since the gba and I always loved street fighter 2. Also, this might not be street fighter 5 but I bet it ends up with more content
I'm not really fussed by the apps but I did love watching YouTube using the web browser on Wii u. It doesn't look like there is a browser on the Switch but I'm still hoping
Miiverse was a fun novelty that I enjoyed for the few months after the Wii u launched but I've barely gone back to it since, only for a laugh to see what rubbish I posted at the beginning. I wouldn't mind it staying but I'm not too bothered that it's not on Switch
@PlywoodStick I'll enjoy playing it running better on my new console rather than clinging on to the old one and pretending it's better. Thanks for wishing me happiness though
@eeyore How the heck can you tell whether it looked better when it was filmed off screen and then went through video compression before it got to your eyeballs? The gamepad map would've been good though
I'll be getting this now the price had dropped a bit and it'll be great fun. Tbh you could tell there were more than 6 minigames from the trailer so I don't think digging into source code was particularly necessary
I think everyone is being a bit harsh. This guy genuinely sounds like a bit of a Nintendo fan and wants it to do well but it will come down to sales whether ea sticks with it
Not too bothered about this, it was expected and doesn't make a massive difference. Also bear in mind that they're fitting both games on one cartridge and it is pretty impressive.
@JLPick Agree these type of things as well as articles talking about how the Switch will perform in the future based on the launch games are completely useless.
I'm interested to see how FE Warriors will look graphically. Apart from Mario which looked fantastic we haven't really seen anything that pushes the system in that regard and with FE's detailed art style it could give an idea as to the true power of the Switch
@kobashi100 I played it with the stick and it felt fine actually. Maybe if you're deeply into fighting games you won't like it but for people like me who just like to casually play there's no problem
I can understand some of the Wii u ports for switch as they can go to a potentially bigger audience than they did on the Wii u but less so 3ds ports especially one which only recently came out and sold well. Don't see a big market for this one.
Loved Tales of Symphonia on GameCube, less so the Wii sequel, but haven't played one since. I'm interested in whether it'll be a port of the recent one or a new one
Remember Tom Phillips also said Zelda would not be ready for launch. Having bought Fifa 13 at the Wii launch which was actually a version of fifa 12 without the at the time current features that fifa 13 on xbox360 and ps3 had I would be dissapointed for a similar thing to happen again. At that time EA said that fifa 14 on Wii u would be the same as the other versions but then we never ended up getting it. I'm hopeful but will wait and see.
@arnoldlayne83 I'm pretty happy with the Switch and having played the games at the London event they are all very fun but I am disappointed not so much in the launch line up but the first few months. From the comments made by Kimishima I was expecting a really full first 6 months just from Nintendo with third parties adding to it but it doesn't look much different to a Wii u schedule right now.
@Clownshoes I'm not interested in the rest of your tired old points but the fact you think adding in an optical drive as being important is pretty funny
@jimi Ok I'm not gonna bother talking to you because you are making wild generalisations and sound like you've already made up your mind before actually seeing the machine.

Re: Best Buy and GameStop Offering Switch Pro Controller Pre-Orders in the US
@UK-Nintendo he was right. What a lump!
Re: Best Buy and GameStop Offering Switch Pro Controller Pre-Orders in the US
@LvlGam3R No problem. I agree, people are very quick to say it's too expensive without actually thinking about all it's features.
Re: Best Buy and GameStop Offering Switch Pro Controller Pre-Orders in the US
@LvlGam3R Yes they do plus the already mentioned motion control, amiibo support and 40 hours battery life
Re: Scandinavian Retailer Prompts Concerns Around NES Mini Production
I've given up hope of getting one now and my interest has dropped from where it was. Disappointing for all

Re: Video: A Good Look at Why the Nintendo Switch Isn't Comparable to the Wii U GamePad
@Platina I can see why you'd be concerned about that but having held one it does not get in the way at all

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You can't help mentioning prices can you?

Re: DFC Intelligence Believes Nintendo Switch Can Shift 40 Million Units by 2020
@Rman12 Yes I can read but it was so frighteningly dull I must admit I dozed off towards the end. My sincerest apologies for that.
Re: DFC Intelligence Believes Nintendo Switch Can Shift 40 Million Units by 2020
Good to hear some positivity away from the mindless chitterings of the internet. Sounds about right to me.
Re: DFC Intelligence Believes Nintendo Switch Can Shift 40 Million Units by 2020

Re: Nintendo Switch Won't Have Video Streaming Services At Launch, But They're Being Considered

Re: Video: Nintendo Trailer for Snipperclips Showcases Some of Its Charm
My brother and I had a great time with this at the London event, will definitely be getting it.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Outlines the Challenges in Developing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@PlywoodStick Riiiiight, keep telling yourself that
Re: Eiji Aonuma Outlines the Challenges in Developing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Why does everyone seem to care so much about the Wii u version all of a sudden? I certainly don't. It's time to move on people
Re: Eiji Aonuma Outlines the Challenges in Developing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@eeyore How the heck can you tell whether it looked better when it was filmed off screen and then went through video compression before it got to your eyeballs? The gamepad map would've been good though
Re: 1-2-Switch Looks Set To Include At Least 20 Minigames

Not too bothered about this, it was expected and doesn't make a massive difference. Also bear in mind that they're fitting both games on one cartridge and it is pretty impressive.

Looking forward to this especially with talk of new modes and extras. It felt great when I played it at the Switch event

@UK-Nintendo No, you have Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. This is similar but an exclusive version of the game for the Switch
