@Quarbit it makes sense because they wrote the game? You know you don’t have to buy it. …

@turnmebackwards Currys have Prime for 45 quid at the moment on pre-order

Hugely niche product with niche sales to reflect that - I am not disparaging it just saying the deck isn't mass market and neither will this be plus if its over 500 quid forget it.

Shows where unlimited money but limited vision gets you ….

Im always amazed at how every forum I belong to for hardware when things are improved people still moan about it… why did you buy the hardware in the first place? It does make me wonder how many of them are AI bots.

I played banjo to death back in the day, but I’m not touching a 3-D platform that doesn’t run at 60 frame per second

Top 3 N platformer of all time - 50 hours in and prefer to odyssey by a mile !

@Kiz3000 yes I got mine there yesterday

I paid 55 for a game that has given me over 50 hours enjoyment and counting so no issue with another 20 if I get another load of fun..they’re not holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy this and if you don’t have the game already second hand carts are like 35 quid which are a bargain.

Any business can charge what they like - this is incredibly good value of true but then I paid 55 quid for Bonanza and I thought that was incredibly good value for the 40 hours. I got out of it and I remember paying almost £100 for a street fighter 2 cartridge a long time ago so pretty much everything seems cheap these days. Please do remember people out there you do not have to buy these games ! They are not threatening you with a gun.

@Wewewi it certainly is - I remember paying exorbitant amounts for games in the 80s and 90s…

@Dr_Corndog strange everyone I know has one who is a gamer

No art can be reduced just down to technicality which sometimes I find their videos to be. From a technical point of view some of the best films and music in the world are lo-fi so I think sometimes they can’t see the wood for the trees. They are always entertaining though. !

@AccessibleDaydream yeah probably where that horrendous advert came from at the start of one of their videos a few months back

@The_Nintend_Pedant it seems strange then I’m still using my original pro controller on my new switch 2 that I have had for over six years with no issue…

@Spider-Kev you can “finish” botw in under an hour , no logic to your logic bud at all

@kingbk yes I totally agree. It’s like comparing a 4x4 and a sports car as they are both cars ! Digital foundry in my opinion in the last year have gone very downhill.

@Dom_31 it’s not compulsory to buy this or a switch 2 - I love how everyone now is a frame snob and not a game snob.

@Anti-Matter In the mass of carts released you would be pretty lucky to get one that has been ripped.....Pretty much a non-issue for 99.99999% of the 100 million switch owners....

So they cross reviewed them even though they couldn’t use performance mode in handheld on the switch 2 - seems a bit weak especially as that’s half of the review as well ?

Well no-one bought it

@Anti-Matter no first party games will be key card

The dock fan is not cooling the switch….

@GrailUK yes they lost all credibility for me when they had that built-in advert into one of their videos a few months ago.. and they have had to backtrack on a few of their early claims as other YouTubers have pointed out some inconsistencies

@Angelus3K is it portable with world class controllers ?

@the_beaver what is the best thing they can be doing right now then? Besides having the most successful console launched in history ?

It will be very interesting to see which direction the new Zelda on this new console will go in

I think for any new to the system switch2 owners breath of the wild and tears will be Evergreen sellers along with Odyssey

@TwinFami they nailed it buddy - it’s going to be the biggest selling consoling all time - and if the battery life worries you that much just get a battery pack

Well, all first party Nintendo games will be on the cartridge so really those games won’t count for very much except for any updates

If you don’t get excited by the new features what’s the point of buying it?

I am going to be very happy playing through breath of the wild again… I have never really cared too much from Mario kart but I’m sure all you Fans will be in your element !

Don’t worry - they’re just here as no exclusives to play - perhaps next year might be better ?

@Anti-Matter my choice is the one I can play at the bus stop !

It’s like Henry Ford said if I ask the public what they wanted they would’ve just said faster horses…

You do know you don’t have to buy this console. They’re not forcing you at gunpoint…..

You know you don’t have to buy the console or the games right ? I’m surprised that console physical media is still a thing - every other physical media is dying or gone ….

I am a massive fan of Minter and llama soft so this was an instant must buy… him and Ivan are knocking it out of the park on the last few releases

@spottedleaf perhaps an updated version of wonder with its own Mario make ?

Same old, same old. The more things change the more they stay the same. Nintendo were damned which ever way they went because if they didn’t change up the memory card speed people would’ve moaned about the loading times and whatever size they offered on the internal drive, it would never have been enough…

As a seasoned robotron player , I absolutely love this game / it’s definitely the best twin stick arcade shooter on the system and it also helps that I’m top with over 300 million !

@croz it’s a shame it’s not portable though !

Well, I just bought my NSO expansion pass online from a guy on eBay for 12 quid so that’s me settled for the next year when my switch 2 arrives in June

Yeah a few Russian sites had the rom last night and i verified it worked

@sketchturner
Odd as possibly the best arcade game of all time Robotron is a twin stick shooter

@TruthisRare

Funny enough `Steam this week clarified you only "rent" games ....

I have it on order but I will def nab the ROM to play later in 4x rez via the wonders of Ryujinx !

Love my air bike and I love no matter how far you fall with it if you hit the ground you don’t die ! I have upgraded my batteries more than my hearts !

1000 hours in and completed all difficulties but this update has stuffed my loading times on every level - can be minutes waiting now for it to load !!
