@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.
@GrailUK random question - how much does anything this article brings up affect you? I only poked my head in here to see if it did what the site wanted, and it worked - it oozes hornet nest. Same for you?
@bimmy-lee we have a Jumbotron in our kitchen and we have a Master System linked up to it and Funktion One speakers either side for added punch to those 8 bit notes. We need the Master System added to NSO.
The good thing is it's on at lunchtime my time, and I will be working from home - just flick Do Not Disturb on Teams and I'm set! Predicting the unpredictable.
@bimmy-lee I'm predicting the comment sections are gonna get spammed with passive aggressive crying from north of your border, don't know what leads me to that conclusion.
Hopefully it's 55 minutes of updates for Drag x Drive plus an extra level for Kirby.
@sixrings I wouldn’t base any opinions on the people in here. The views in here rarely reflect the outside world, you just have to look at the charts. You should try asking colleagues or friends down the bar what they think of resolution, framerates or 98 inch tvs. Nobody in here can solve your problem.
@Willo567 I love that "we" stuff....I was waiting for the Switch 2 to become more widely available before jumping on board, with the Switch I waited until October. I think I will get one as my birthday treat. I'm in no rush whatsoever. Is sixrings crying again? Shock horror…
@kmtrain83 The US is the only place affected by the tariffs, it's still affordable everywhere else in the world so there's still a chance down the line.
@electrolite77 Holy cow! You might have to take out a restraining order soon...
Much like you, I had no preconceptions of what the Switch 2 would be, as a lot of people were saying in the comments long before it was released they would be happy with something that compares to a PS4 - and it's meatier than a PS4.
@Solid_Python So all the comments that were deleted in the previous article were over nothing...this version seems to be shaping up even more than the version you posted!
@Arawn93 Any excuse to cry with this lot. As for that Weewee dude, account set up to troll so any opinion from them is discarded instantly. Waste of space.
@AmplifyMJ this crowd…I only reach out and communicate with a handful. The rest I really don’t know what to say…like you say they have mastered bringing misery out of joy. Made playing games sound bleak. I could go on lol
@GgGames you got a link to where they lost their mind by any chance? The article I saw the other week didn't say anything along those lines as far as I could tell.
I haven’t played a Madden game since the second one on the Megadrive/Genesis…it’s come a long way since then. It’s also been a long time since I gave EA a penny. Good for people who want to play handegg on the go though!
@mlt yeah but my question would be how much that deficit is contained within the enthusiast circles and how much is a global concern for Nintendo? As has been said before the gulf between the enthusiast and the main customers is astronomical.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
@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. 👍🏻

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
@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™
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
@OmnitronVariant That’s cool. Walk away then. Simple as that. Who’s holding a gun to your head son?

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Bundle Confirmed For Switch, Launching October
@Markatron84 which probably means £50 on Amazon or in Argos.

@solarwolf07 @1UP_MARIO Good to know thanks!

Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
@Coalescence yep, it’s almost like a script at times.
Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
@Coxula I forgot the classic "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealing." I'm sure that will turn up too...
Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
@Coxula I'm already making myself comfy...has anyone said "multi billion dollar corporation" or "bootlicker" yet? Get your bingo cards ready...
Re: Ubisoft Employee Explains Why Star Wars Outlaws Is A Game-Key Card
@kmtrain83 That unborn grandchildren comment had me laughing.

Re: Video: We've Played Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2 - Here's 16 Minutes Of Gameplay
@jfp That's an understatement! What a u-turn though. I think it's time they did another survey methinks.

Re: Rumour: Resident Evil Requiem Could Be Heading To The Switch 2
@Solid_Python @N00BiSH Doom and gloom is this season’s black. Actually it was least season’s black too. And the season before that…hang on a sec.
Capcom did well by doing a ground up Monster Hunter for Switch, no reason why a ground up RE for Switch won’t be great.
Re: The Force Isn't Strong With Star Wars Outlaws On Switch 2, Initial Impressions Suggest
@Solid_Python Doesn’t look bad at all based on that footage…

Re: Developers Reportedly Still Struggling To Get Switch 2 Dev Kits
@sixrings You really do have a black belt in passive aggressiveness don't you? Not bad for a middle aged man.
@Willo567 this article really brought them out, didn't it? Job done.

@N00BiSH he definitely said there's much more he wants to show but can't right now.

Re: Nintendo Partners With Interstate Scholastic Esports Alliance For Competitive Events
@ShieldHero they’ll still find a way to spin this into a negative. 😀
Re: Review: EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26 (Switch 2) - EA's Gridiron Series Finally Plays Ball On A Switch Console
@AZYotes5013 have to agree it's pretty pathetic. A lot of the time it's people who only sign up to whine and troll. Sadly negativity creates clicks.
Re: Review: EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26 (Switch 2) - EA's Gridiron Series Finally Plays Ball On A Switch Console
@MarioBrickLayer I’d love to see a new NHL game. Last NHL game I bought was on the GameCube…

Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
@jsty3105 it really isn’t news to be honest. Big corporations are all about their brand and they protect it at all costs. Not just Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
@mlt yeah but my question would be how much that deficit is contained within the enthusiast circles and how much is a global concern for Nintendo? As has been said before the gulf between the enthusiast and the main customers is astronomical.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
@mlt They won't though. I doubt any of this filters back to Japan HQ. They know what gamers are like.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
@dew12333 what is it with these accounts that magically appear out of nowhere to start fights with people as well?
@mlt they don’t read the comments.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
@poyo_pie I'm surprised nobody's derailed this comment section and made it all about key cards yet. I suppose it's still early.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
@martynstuff Evil. Nothing but pure evil.
