Wow just worked that I’ve owned all the models except the 2ds xl. The smaller new 3ds is more comfortable for using the d pad. The wedge is surprisingly comfortable as well.
There were a lot of details and Easter eggs in this game but it kinda got lost due to being SD on the Wii. Hopeful a remake can sort this out. Also would love Epic Donald which got cancelled.
There is no easy way to say this but I think we all need to be realistic here; 1, The sales are ok, but there are just so many more profitable sequels to green light before Bayo 4 like 60 of them 2, In my region the game is discounted below 30%. Not a good sign for a Nintendo published game. 2, Nintendo should look at Astro chain or star fox sequels from platinum before Bayo 4 3, Switch 2 will probably get DMC 5 port to cover this genre (much cheaper than a new game) 4, Sony and other developers have shown the need to focus on core franchises in the HD / ray tracing era. Bayo is just not core. 5, Bayo 3 was green lit pre switch success. In the dark days when Nintendo would do anything for external developers support. Even Devil’s Third got green lit 6, Bayo fans are very vocal but not huge in numbers, Nintendo knows this now. 7, Rumoured development hell for Bayo 3, the development team may just need a fresh concept.
@larryisaman whilst true, Nintendo have limited development resources. If your game is 63 out of 67 of Nintendo published titles. You’re going to be fairly low in the pecking order. Sony and activision have already axed these type of games from their portfolios.
@Aaron00 whilst sales of 1.07m sounds good, compared to other Nintendo switch published games, it’s poor. Game builder garage has 1.15m and Astro chain has 1.33m.It had had 5 years in development and Sega gets IP money. A sequel is as likely as F-zero.
You have forgotten a huge one, backwards compatibility! I don’t expect to pay for the same games again and certainly only a small amount to boost resolution and frame rate.
I really hope you can just buy the characters at a reasonable price but I have a feeling they will be part of a useless kit which bumps up the price unnecessarily.
Amazon Uk lets you pre order the physical for £20. I’ve noticed Amazon are getting some new 3ds stock e.g Kirby triple deluxe so I’m hopeful but it’s been there a while.
I just picked up Metroid prime remastered physical from CeX. It was still wrapped and they had a box of them. I’ve suspected that CeX had been getting new Nintendo stock from some where.
The Wii u is the best way to play Wii games. Looking at the Wii u eshop - Sin and punishment 2, Metroid trilogy and rhythm paradise - are cheapest way to own in Europe.
There are two prices of games on eshop. Normal price and discount price. The discount price is available for approximately 1/3 time of the year on and off.
If you check Nintendo’s total value of shares, it’s not far off activision-blizzard. Just think if Nintendo slips up with the switch U. A buy out in the next 5 years is definitely possible after this acquisition.
I think the steam deck has a problem with the SD cards. PC games have huge file sizes and modern games are designed for solid state drives. So surely this will mean additional costs buying the largest and fastest SD cards on the market. Even the fastest SD card will have long load times. So it will be a machine for indie and older games.
Wait Zelda 2 is fixed on NSO. The SP version starts with full magic and heath. Tri force heroes is good for what it was going for, a spin off in my opinion. Now there is no redemption for spirt Tracks . . . yawn.

Re: Random: Yes, Doom Is Now Playable On Nintendo Alarmo
Why did Nintendo not put a game to play when you wake up? A simple you only have access to for 20 minutes a day.
Re: Poll: Is Next Week’s Investor Q&A Really Reason Enough For A 'Switch 2' Reveal?
It’s not happening looking at the switch line up for 2025 Q1. DKR, Xenoblade and Metroid.
Re: Review: Europa (Switch) – Gorgeous Ghibli-esque Art, But Very Light On Substance
I was really in to the demo and the price is not bad. The PC reviews are more favourable but no particular reason why. 🤔

I’m not really into dressing up characters but I really want to make Zelda a bit more adventurous. Bow, ToK or sheik outfits.
Re: UK Charts: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Starts To Slip In A Quiet Week
I don’t think it’s an issue with the quality of the game, just a reflection on the price point.
Re: 'Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club' Launches On Switch Next Month
Why are the two original games bundled in Europe and never seen a price drop? Why was this not even mentioned in the last direct?
Re: UK Charts: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Loses The Crown In Its Second Week
Ok I’ll accept TTYD is the best in the series but just think of a world where super, stickerstar, splash and king are all just reruns of TTYD. 🥱
Re: Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time Remake Dev Update Shared In New "Exclusive"
I doubt we will see a switch version now.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Details For Endless Ocean Luminous
I’m just hope the online multiplayer aspect is for marketing and there is a solid single player game in there.

I’m really enjoying the game trials, I probably use it more than the retro games available.

I think you need to try the Tents and trees demo.
Re: GAME Apparently Ending Physical Trade-Ins From Next Month (UK)
I’m fairly certain my local CeX is getting brand new switch games. I saw them unwrap Metroid prime before selling it to me.

The PS5 was heavily discounted everywhere in the uk e.g £350 for the disk version. Expect big numbers this month.
Re: Top 100 Best Nintendo Games Of All Time
Honestly I just don’t get why link to the past is so highly rated. It’s dated and most of the concepts have been done better in later 2D Zelda games.

Game & wario had some interesting ways of using the game pad and that’s never coming to switch.
