Wish I'd bought stock during the Wii U years

Yeah, glad I got the DLC. These constant add ons are really neat

Fool me once, shame on you...

Not gonna happen but I'd love to get d&d Warriors of the Eternal Sun

Many companies would release it broken and patch it later so I respect their decision

128X plug-in for the Switch

intriguing and thought-provoking story concept showing but not a lot of interesting gameplay showing in the trailer. Still, not too expensive so might give it a go to see where they're going with the plot

REMEMBER KIDS! JUST SAY NO

to golf

Another week, another promise of Bad Dudes. Third time lucky?

@sleepinglion yes, I'd love to see that out.

@mauhlin12 OK, now its gone back another week? This is getting weird.

Loved it as a kid, used to play it during my Summers at White Cross Bay caravan park in the Lake District. They had the volume up loud on the cabinet so it used to really get the blood pumping. Excitedly downloaded it on the Wii a few years ago but it aged badly

You know, my Playstations have always crashed way more than my Nintendos so we really can't knock all the stability fixes

Yeah, I got caught out browsing the eshop last night with my 8-year old son. "Not appropriate for me" he hollered

Weird, thought this was out today, now showing March 29th on the US eshop. Maybe they're tweaking it before releasing it?

Day one

I wish I had time to read all the comments, probably going to just repeat something that's probably already posted above BUT there are no credible studies linking violence and computer games. Just reports made by campaigners with no sound professional backing.

@LUIGITORNADO Afro-Carribean is the census term. Most of the UK's black community have roots in the West Indies, they were invited over after World War 2 to do the jobs that were short staffed.

I hear people complaining about the idea of Nintendo not developing new games for the system but...suppose nothing new for the 3DS games ever came out again after today. How long would it take you to catch up on every game rated 7/10 or more? I bought it at launch and I've run up such playtime but I've never been able to keep up with that library!

Ahhh, Wiiware. World of Goo was the best though I think without Water Warfare, there would have been no Splatoon. I seem to recall finding this site back in those days when it was just a Wiiware news and review site

It made my phone feel hot. Fun for the first month but then forgotten

THIS is why you should never try to predict what Nintendo will do next because they come up with innovative, left of centre stuff like this. I have three kids and live in Arizona where you can't go outside in Summer. When the heat kicks in, this will already be out so just perfect for our house.

As a kid, there was nothing more exciting than dropping 10p in a coin-op for two minutes intense gaming with sound and graphics far in excess of anything home computing could offer. Taken out of time and context, a lot of these titles just aren't the same at home.

I can see how upsetting this must be for fans with those phones but neither the app's developers or even Apple are to blame. These last five years have seen drastic changes in smart phone tech and for Pokemon Go to survive, it has to follow the times.

What I would suggest is getting a cheap iPhone 6 online. With a little patience, you can get one at the right price.

Wow, I never knew Ultimate evolved into Rare. A very moving article, not a single one of the stores I bought games from as a kid are still in business (except for Boots the Chemist). I remember West Yorkshire was full of cool little game shops in the most unexpected places sometimes (I remember finding one in the ground floor of a block of council flats near Cleckheaton). I would love to see the games market mirror the music market with some sort of revival but I really don't know how that would happen.

This is madness - she should marry a younger game that closer her age.

@frogopus I think I've played both on other formats too. I have a Marvel pinball set on my 3DS which I'm sure is Zen and on my PS4 I have a stunningly accurate rendition of the Doctor Who pinball table which feels like Stern. If that's the case, I'm definitely Stern all the way and hope they bring the Twilight Zone table to the Switch.

I mainly play my Switch docked and I've not felt any urge to play either of the pinball games undocked.

I played the Frankenstein table and I love it. Really, I find the other Switch pinball game annoying with too many distracting animations and some very annoying original concepts (all the voicework on Sorceror's Lair suck). If you like pinball then this is the one.

@JayJ Beat me to it. Sounds amazingon our big wooden speakers

Crazy that they both arrived the same day. I love Stern's solid realism and the fact they bring us classic, hard to find tables but Zen's tables can be quite imaginative (although Sorcerror's Lair is annoying) and their use of rumble is great.

@rjejr giant horse? 160+ hours and I still got so much to learn!

Wow....this is H....A.....R.....D

Guess I need to get new toothbrushes for the kids. I don't want this junk sticking to their teeth but I don't want to deny them the excitement.

Ohboy, if this is real, my Son won't want to eat anything else

Every TV and blu-ray player made in the last 5 years has all the streaming apps built into them so people crying that the Switch doesn't have streaming apps need to wake up. A second hand blu-ray player costs about the same as an indie game on eshop and, incidentally, them blu-rays drop a soft one on streaming quality and your blu-ray library doesn't suddenly remove films forever unless you have a thief in the house..

Hopefully, the winning demon gets an Amiibo for the SMTV on Switch

I remember when it first showed up in SMTIV, my jaw dropped even though I knew about Japanese folklore and customs. Yeah, I'd have voted for him

I'll use the Japanese one if they have Americans dubbing the game but if its an English cast, I'll stick with it. Genuine English accents seem more authentic in RPGs but faux-English (I'm looking at you Zelda) is a spell-breaker for me. Obviously, games set in America are great with American casts, but fantasy RPGs with American actors doing English accents make me turn the sound off

Why are people hating on the icon? A monkey drinking beer is just what my Switch screen needs. Really not sure about the controls, though. Warriors of the Eternal Sun was so underrated, I'd love Sega to make a HD remake for Switch

It is a sad day

I always feel like Reggie has to abide by the strict embargoes of the Japanese mothership so he is forced to keep finding new ways to sidestep questions. When was the last time he got to break a big announcement?

Noooooo! Leave my wallet alone, you vampires! Sigh, more overtime

does look cool but they've chosen a bad time to release it. This Winter/Autumn has way too many big retail games that I need to buy. Might be a new year purchase for me..

This has been high on my list since the preview about a month ago. Day one for me

Already got it on my PS4 but will probably double dip as its cheaper for me to buy it for Switch than it would be to buy two more PS4 controllers. Two player mode was awesome but three or four would be amazing

Oh, refreshed and they had them, grabbed one, paid for it but now showing gone again. Maybe some cancelled double/triple orders?

weeps

Its a belter but you do need either good headphones for handheld or a good sound system for docked as the soundtrack is a key part of the game and has lots of deep, low-end bass and beats.

Those wanting to know how it plays, you are moving very fast on a rail. You have to turn on corners and hit the button on the lot parts of the rail. This is all done in time to the music so even someone like me who sucks at games like Rock Band can do it.

Guaranteed to get the heart pumping

Not going to problem for those of us in the know but imagine the poor kid who gets bought a Switch with just a game that needs an SD. Bad move

due to my crazy shifts, I'm only about 4 hours in but loving it so far
