@charliecarrot They lost their minds in here over Skyward Sword HD aka SixtyDollarGate...what a weekend that was. Sold over 4 million copies and I believe it outsold the Wii original. I purchased the HD version and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Mate of mine came round and we had a session of Streets of Rage 4 on hardest. Non stop laughter. He’d never played it before and thoroughly loved it. He grabbed a copy for his PS4 today.
@jfp Hahahaha....always laugh when that happens. Anyway, Game Key Cards? Not fussed. Mostly digital these days, I only have about 6 Switch games physical.
@TerribleTerabytes I don't get the point of going into meltdown about how other people spend their money. Seems a bit odd. He's not going to take your advice in any shape or form, much the same as if you tried to tell me how to spend my money I would completely disregard it. Plus he's obviously not as bothered about framerates as you.
@7h0r you said on the 14th September: "The switch 2 is overpriced and underpowered and I’m just done. Steam Deck for life, good bye Nintendo. The Nintendo I knew and loved growing up is dead."
@electrolite77 I noticed a bunch of the doom posters who magically turned up on here after the Switch 2 direct posting constant negativity have vanished. They probably realised nobody was rising to their attempts and gave up. I see there's still a couple floating around spewing the same script though...
@GrailUK I remember them saying that...and saying wouldn't it be great if they added Virtual Boy to the NSO. As usual (going straight onto the bingo card) "not like this Nintendo!!!???!?!??!!!"
@Ryu_Niiyama I had the Wii U, got it later in its life and thoroughly enjoyed it - which tied in with me signing up here, the Wii era I completely missed through one reason or another, mainly due to rarely being home as I was out nearly every night!
@electrolite77 somehow I knew today was going to be entertaining and so far it hasn’t disappointed. It’s like a text based soap opera at times. Tomorrow morning should be interesting once we have the full influx of comments across the pond.
@PessitheMystic the majority? On a gaming website? Where only a miniscule amount of the visitors comment? Like I say gaming is just a lil hobby to me, I can splash a few quid out for the occasional treat and this looks like a treat to me. It’s subjective really. We’re not all in the same boat.
@JohnnyMind all good, the way some clowns in these comments carry on you'd think we're all on the breadline scraping pennies together and selling kidneys to feed our need to play games. I buy a handful of games a year as a treat.
@JohnnyMind the price doesn't overshadow anything to me. Brand new experiences to me, fresh lick of paint, on the go, improved sound and loading without the hassle of buying a second hand Wii and wiring the thing up, buying batteries for wiimotes and all that jazz.
Never played either games as I never had a Wii. Loved the look of Galaxy but not enough to buy a Wii just for it. Apparently they're both brilliant and two of the best Mario games. Is this true?
@GrailUK It's like we're witnesses to a separate universe at times in here. Nintendo are super litigious, shock horror. Have been for as long as I can remember. It's a complicated world, patents and law, best left to experts.

Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
@jfp look how simple that discourse between me and you was. Civil, polite, none of that Spanish soap opera nonsense. No edgelord sneering.
Re: Game-Key Cards A "Sales Strategy Decision", Says Resident Evil Requiem Director
@jfp I could so easily take that last post in a direction but I will stay polite lol.

@TerribleTerabytes perhaps because it's ridiculously trivial in the grand scheme of life? I dunno. Horses for courses I suppose.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@PhilW I think that's what a lot of people will do, just get it for nostalgia's sake and sit it on the side.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@7h0r you said on the 14th September: "The switch 2 is overpriced and underpowered and I’m just done. Steam Deck for life, good bye Nintendo. The Nintendo I knew and loved growing up is dead."
Why are you still here?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@axelhander which billionaire corporation? Sony? Microsoft? Nintendo? Valve? Asus? Apple? Samsung? Nvidia? Grow up son.

@ZimmerRemmiz stop trying to bring reason to the comment section. It’s all about outrage! Grrrr etc. 😃

@SpaceboyScreams you said on another article "Wake me up when I can listen to Egg Shell Hotel Annex."
Why are you still posting? Go back to sleep....
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@Giancarlothomaz yep but apparently it’s dead. It’s the Switch all over again.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@Giancarlothomaz it took them 6 months to sell 1.95m Switch units in Japan. The Xbox? errrrr..... PS5? Two years.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
@Aeralto ^^^ See above me...must be gospel.

Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
@jfp They're using the exact same tactic, sowing seeds of doubt before the game is even released.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
It's the Metroid cycle (no play on words) all over again....by the time it comes out, everyone talks themselves out of buying it.

@PessitheMystic yep there’s no malice, we’re just having a back n forth. Just in case the mods treat it like an argument. Stand down mods… 😀
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
@PessitheMystic no worries. It’s Friday. Enjoy the weekend, hope you have a goodun. 👍🏻

@PessitheMystic how many hobbies are people allowed out of curiosity? 😀
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
@PessitheMystic I like the back n forth in here. It’s a game all unto itself. People watching. A human zoo. A study of the Very Serious Gamer™

@Markatron84 which probably means £50 on Amazon or in Argos.
