@AussieMcBucket I never worry about opinions from gamers, they could post an article saying Happy Wednesday and the comments would be full of people saying they preferred Tuesday and they’re not really looking forward to Thursday.
@JohnnyMind for people that don't use pro controllers and enjoy using the joycons, you'll see the colours all the time. This is for those people. Mine sit on the arm of my couch/on the coffee table loose all the time...
11 hours in and I’m enjoying it, basic field and sea battles I just stick on auto tactics to get them out of the way, it’s a cozy game so far! Too early to tell whether I prefer it to XI, the mechanics are very similar though.
Been playing a lot of Yakuza Kiwami recently, on chapter 8 and got my groove back after being rusty for a bit. Also another of my casual cruises through Mario Kart World, I still haven't done the 100-150cc cups...was hoping to pick up DQ7 but Amazon and Argos don't seem to have it in stock!
@iMahvel_ @Johnny44 It’s a 2025 account - expect nothing less really. Some people set up accounts to cry and wet the bed, hoping to dissuade people from buying a Switch 2. They’ve failed. But the fire still burns in their lives for some reason.
Quite a selection, outside of gaming circles most people don’t own every console and a gaming pc. For me as a Switch/Switch 2 only owner that was packed. I could easily own the other consoles or a PC but can’t be arsed as I prefer convenience.
Also it’s great to see how people aren’t leaving money on the table with the Switch 2. Capcom’s throwing everything at it.
Never played the previous versions before, streamlined or not, don't care, I'm getting it, I liked the demo. Looks like I will be getting my money's worth out of it.
I would imagine another cruise through Mario Kart World, might stick on Yakuza Kiwami again, the Switch 2 upgrade is nice but I was so rusty when I played it I got absolutely battered in a nightclub, need a bulletproof vest methinks...
@KevinP could you tell me who 'we" is, out of curiosity, considering it's the best selling Switch 2 game? Dunno about you but Mario Kart World worked out to be peanuts for me...£20 tops?
Looks like there will be a lot of happy prospective punters in here! (and a couple not so happy who will no doubt vent their spleen on Twitter)...people should know setting up alt accounts to sow dissent doesn't work around here.
Mario Kart World again methinks, one day I'll get round to doing all the cups in all the ccs, only got the 50cc so far but I'm still perfectly happy just free roaming and taking in the scenery and chilling.
@jsty3105 and then they'll only buy the games if they're on a deep deep discount. But they have the cash for figurines, graphics cards, giant TVs, surround sound, LEDs and themed controllers...
@jsty3105 Thing is the gap isn't that big any more, so obviously that means the goalposts have to move again. Like an OLED screen's gonna make it cheaper lol...

Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Blows The Competition Out Of The Water
Great sales for a great game. Thoroughly enjoying it at the moment! I imagine it did great numbers digitally too.
Re: Reminder: Switch 2's New Joy-Con Set Is Out This Week
@JohnnyMind might just be me but I prefer the subtle accent colours, makes it look and feel more premium compared to the last outing.
Re: Reminder: Switch 2's New Joy-Con Set Is Out This Week
@JohnnyMind I never used my grips, even going back to the OG Switch. The whole concept of joycons loose in each hand won me over straight away.

Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Pokémon Pokopia
@Anti-Matter never touched it, don’t have a Switch 2, yet you’ve reviewed it. Ok.

@roboshort I also recommend checking his post history...bursting at the seams with edge. Leather jackets, cigarettes etc.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined?
@jesse_dylan just passed the 15 hour mark, the tone of the game is definitely changing!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario Tennis Fever For Switch 2?
Strange. No.1 on the UK eshop.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
@RiasGremory my thoughts exactly, it's a party game with a bonus single player mode thrown in. Not the other way round.

Re: UK Charts: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Starts Strong, But It's Not Enough To Reach The Top
Managed to pick up my copy of Dragon Quest VII yesterday, looking forward to it...

@HammerGalladeBro Fresh batch of troops at the US military bases?
Re: PSA: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Switch 2 Trial Demo Now Available, Save Data Carries Over
@OpheliaDynamight yep when it hits that threshold it’s time to turn the console off and put a film on.

@Aki77 because he's a troll perhaps? I remember when I was 12...

@Nintoz best way to be, I'm just looking forward to the crying in the comments tomorrow.

@Duncanballs Far more important things in life than games. You wouldn’t think it round here though! 😀
Re: Here's A Look At The Best-Selling Switch And Switch 2 Games So Far
I'm sure they'll be happy with those Kirby sales - it will carry on selling throughout the Switch 2's lifespan.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined
“7/10 - too many words.” IGN
Re: Switch 2 Storms Towards Its Forecast Target With 17.37 Million Units Sold
I could have sworn someone said sales ground to a halt in October…? I’ll have a look and report back.

Re: "People Have A Right To Be P****d" - Dispatch Dev Says It Intends To Address "At Least Some" Censored Switch Content
@Regulus6891 censorship articles = guaranteed site traffic...
I'd never even heard of this game until this week. Was never on my radar. Funnily enough it seems to be doing well on the eshop.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st January)
I would imagine another cruise through Mario Kart World, might stick on Yakuza Kiwami again, the Switch 2 upgrade is nice but I was so rusty when I played it I got absolutely battered in a nightclub, need a bulletproof vest methinks...
Re: Dispatch Dev AdHoc Responds To Nintendo's Statement, Says It Intends To Address Censored Switch Content
@anoyonmus See? Nintendo's even managed to get the PS5 version censored. Damn you Nintendo etc...

@TheExile285 Can’t be that far off…it has some use but the hype far exceeds its worth.

Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Not really into these things, but I know people who absolutely loved it, perfect for handheld...
Re: Switch 2 Remains The Fastest-Selling Console In The US At 4.4 Million Units
@jsty3105 I got on a flight to NYC from London in August, I saw about 6 Switches on that flight just in the peasant section….
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th January)
Mario Kart World again methinks, one day I'll get round to doing all the cups in all the ccs, only got the 50cc so far but I'm still perfectly happy just free roaming and taking in the scenery and chilling.
Also some Streets of Rage 4 I would imagine.

Re: Switch 2 Remains The Fastest-Selling Console In The US At 4.4 Million Units
@jsty3105 people were doing this with the OG Switch. Acting shocked because it doesn't look as good as a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X or their gaming rig...

@Alpha008 there’s a smear campaign that isn’t panning out as hoped.

@UpsideDownRowlet it is an interesting hobby, lurking around big box stores counting the Switch 2 boxes.
