Wow, love going to Castlerigg and Hard Knott pass on holidays as a kid, loved playing Golden Axe in the arcades of Blackpool around the same time. This feature has me HYPED
Nintendo being Nintendo this was exactly what I expected to happen. I expect all these games will appear on the Nintendo online subscription service anyway
Nice to see a company carefully taking their time to get it right instead of just dumping a poor port at the deadline. Makes me willing to wait for them.
Just watched episode one so far. I enjoyed it a lot, although the foul-mouthed peasants, evil bishops and brutal carnage don't feel that true to the spirit of the old games. Just glad someone is doing something interesting with Castlevania unlike Konami who are probably planning a bad phone app.
I like the idea of the lobbies and news but I really hate chat in online games. Full of annoying children and boring numpties. So keeping it out of the game itself works for me
Lets face it, this isn't the first report of staff abuse at Konami. You would have hoped that they could have learned from their last scandal. This is why we can't get a decent new Castlevania, its because they can't keep talent
Well, if its a choice between a new Monster Hunter or some poorly emulated old games, I'll take the former. However, I am sure it will find its way to Switch later on.
Wow, so glad I held off buying Generations for the 3DS. I only held off as I felt my measley 70 hours spent of MH4U had not really got me very far into the game yet. Given these sorts of games take months to get Westernised, I'm gonna hammer MH4U
Could be laziness or it could be deadlines. People are still learning how to develop for the Switch and running a game in two framerates is a new thing. Presumably they want to get this out before all the big JRPGs hit the Switch
Good idea and kudos for using Bandcamp the only download service worth paying for. If you've not used it before, the files are available in almost any format and are free of digital rights management stuff
Her English accent is terrible. Good performance but dire accent and also sounds like a full-grown woman impersonating a teenager. Still, its Breath of the Wild, so who cares?
Couldn't agree more. So frustrated with how every disc game I buy for my PS4 wants so much of my hard drive space. Meanwhile, my Zelda Switch carry case has all those cute slots for carts, its so much nicer
Given Nintendo's history combined with Sony and MSN's recent actions, a Switch version 2 in the next 3 years seems a safe bet but I don't buy the shrunken down pitch, I think a VR enhanced version seems more likely
Star Fox Zero deserves a redesigned control set-up but as a true Wii U owner, I'm hoping Nintendo doesn't hit us with too much remastered content and keeps all hands on making new stuff for my Switch.
Wow, I was really expecting a ton of enhanced remakes from Nintendo for the Switch but so far its been the indies rehashing everything but I guess it is a new console.
We have freedom of speech, we also have freedom of choice. So Jontron can say what he wants but Playtonic are free to take his voice off the game and peeople are free to say Jontron's opinions suck. Of course, people are free to get upset about all that but, really, what's the point? I'm sure the Breitbart readers will all say they are going to boycott the game now but the vast majority of people interested in this game don't know who Jontron is and never will.
First Zelda game where I haven't needed a guide all the way through. I've felt myself puzzled and challenged but a good beard rub has seen me through. It's the perfect difficulty level
@TheLobster Couldn't have put it better myself. Same engine but a darker & stranger game would be my dream follow-up. No complaints with BOTW, of course!
@NintySnesMan Huddersfield was my hometown, Hebden Bridge was where I lived my best years and now I live in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. With a UK GBA, Gamecube, DS, Wii U & New 3DS XL + US 2DS & Switch
I was gonna grumble that the Switch eshop seems a little slow but I guess it beats the 3DS eshop by actually launching with the console so I'll shut up and buy Little Inferno which I always meant to check out

Re: Video: Here's How You Download and Play the Japanese Monster Hunter XX Demo on Switch
Capcom are gonna localise it but they're not gonna talk about that until after Monster Hunter World is out, to avoid confusion and focus hype
Re: Capcom Reportedly Gearing Up for Multiple Nintendo Switch Titles
XX is a dead cert, they just don't want to hype it until MHW is out/the one person they have localising it all by themself gas finished

Re: Capcom Not Confirming Plans for Monster Hunter XX on Switch in the West 'At This Time'
When I heard the original story, I just assumed they didn't want to say anything now so as let MHW get max hype

Re: Gallery: Take a Look at the Huge World and Weird Fashion of Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Re: Nintendo's Online Service For Switch Will Offer "Ongoing Access" To Classic Games

Re: Nintendo Reveals More Details About its Paid Online Service
Phew, I am glad about the price, I was worried they would follow the pricing model of Sony & MSN.
Re: E3 is Coming, Which Means Anonymous Super Smash Bros. Switch 'Screenshots'
I would much rather have a brand new Smash later next year with lots of levels based on Switch games.

Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Has Been Rated in Brazil
@Wendigo and has fraudulently persuaded the Brazilian censor to rate a game that doesn't exist too. That takes some chops...

Re: Citigroup Analysts Predict Nintendo Will Release a Mini-Switch in 2019

Re: The Famicom Classic Edition Has Now Also Been Discontinued
Maybe they will do a version two next with more games?
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
Not good. This will leave a lot of folks very unsatisfied

Oh well, I'll have the Pikmin 3 content
Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
Star Fox Zero deserves a redesigned control set-up but as a true Wii U owner, I'm hoping Nintendo doesn't hit us with too much remastered content and keeps all hands on making new stuff for my Switch.
