I enjoy going in to GAME purely because it is the only dedicated gaming store throughout most of Scotland. However, I very rarely buy anything as their prices are criminal.
All the supermarkets and online sites are selling GTA V on Xbox One for around £24 - GAME are selling it pre-owned [!!!] for £28.99. Only reason I got it there is because I had a trade-in worth £24...
You know what is annoying, THQ? Charging us £35 for a game that costs £20 on other consoles. Or charging us £24.99 for a game others get for £14.99... 😑
I'm glad it finally got a date, but I caved an ordered from the USofA. Didn't get the launch edition, so now I feel like should have waited. Goes to check trade-in price
Are people forgetting the Wii launched at Christmas time? Nintendo made sure they had enough stock for a bumper Xmas period, but after Xmas it was impossible to find anywhere in the world.
Switch launched in March. And Nintendo basically all but admitted it was a soft launch to prepare for Christmas 2017.
@Joytendo22 I already own a Switch and accessories. Got basically all the games as well atm. The issue in Iceland is the cost - the Switch retails here for 50.000kr (£385) minimum. Games start at 5.500kr (£42). Accessories are ridiculously expensive. Even a 3DSXL costs 40.000kr (£307)!
On the other hand, you can get a PS4 with 2 games for about 35.000kr (£270)...
In Reykjavik, Iceland you can find them everywhere. People in Iceland don't care about Nintendo. I've never seen a nation more obsessed with Sony!
I went into a store yesterday and there must have been at least 20 Switch consoles sitting (in both colours), Special Edition Zelda, accessories, cases etc.
They even have the NES Mini in stock here - and the accessories!
We've always had more than one console. At one point, we had GameCube, PS2 and Xbox. Now we have a Wii U and a Switch, but we've just bought an Xbox One S. Mainly for 4K, but also for some games.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is going to be good fun. Rabbid games were usually fun anyway, but with added Nintendo polish and Mario? I think we're onto a winner.
I loved Rabbids 3D on the 3DS and even Rabbids World on Wii U was a bit of fun.
Graphics aren't everything, but in the age of 4K screens and monitors and the Switch actually having hardware that can handle 1080p60, I'm getting fed up of developers putting out underpowered copies of games...
Go speak to Nintendo if you can't get your software to run properly. Surely they'd help?
God, you lot love to moan. The game is not "garbage" by any stretch of the imagination. Considering it's just £17.99 it's pretty feature filled. Handheld graphics could be better, yes, but I'll survive.

Not for the UK...
Re: LEGO Worlds Gets September Release Date for Nintendo Switch
I've read a lot of iffy reviews saying it barely runs well on even a PS4...
I'll wait till it's out and see what folk have to say.
Re: Vertex Pop Puts Out a New Update for Graceful Explosion Machine
Amazing little game. Just sunk another 30 mins into it now!
Re: Editorial: amiibo Has Stalled, Because Nintendo is Forgetting What Makes It Special
Amiibo are basically collector figurines that also happen to have another function, rather than your traditional NFC videogame figure.
If Nintendo had made an open world game that utilised them well, they'd have done much better out of it.
Re: European My Nintendo Rewards Bring 3DS And Wii U Games You Can Buy With Your Gold Points
I'm getting them all as I have 850 points rotting away!
Re: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition Set for 12th September, Demo Live in Europe
No demo in the UK.
Re: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition Set for 12th September, Demo Live in Europe
I'm picking this up for £25 from Base.com. That's a bargain.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th July (Europe)
Pay the extra £3 or so and get CaveStory+ as a physical copy with free CD soundtrack and full colour manual.
Re: Sports Direct Buys 25.75 Percent Stake In Embattled UK Retail Chain GAME
@Mart1ndo They charge even more ridiculous prices. £50 for a used copy of ARMS!

Re: Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters Haunts Europe This Autumn
Might pick this up, as I passed on the other two versions not knowing which to buy.
Re: Review: Death Squared (Switch eShop)
No mention of the levels specifically for the Nintendo Switch version?
Re: NicoNico Launches on the Switch in Japan This Week
My TV has all the apps I could ever need. As does my Xbox One. My phone can even connect wirelessly to my TV now.
I'm honestly not bothered about apps on Switch. If they come it's fine, but I'm not annoyed I don't have them.

Re: Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star to Hit Europe and Australia on 21st July
OK. I have no idea what this game is about. Then, I watch the trailer. And I still have no idea...
Re: Random: Internet Reacts Badly To The New Snake Pass Menu Icon
The old logo was better as it included the name of the game and a taste of what the game is about. This is just plain ugly...
Re: Amazon UK Reduces SNES Mini Orders to One Per Customer
Amazon charged me £79.99 for my pre-order...

I'm glad it finally got a date, but I caved an ordered from the USofA. Didn't get the launch edition, so now I feel like should have waited. Goes to check trade-in price
Re: These Slick NES-Style Switch Joy-Cons Look Great, But You'll Need Deep Pockets
Considering they only charge $499 [$200 for the paint job] for a fully decorated Switch package, charging $130 extra for some JoyCon is insane...
Re: Register Interest in the SNES Classic Mini on the Official Nintendo UK Store
@SLIGEACH_EIRE +20% VAT and Customs. So US one is more expensive.
Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Surge Past A Million In Japan
@timson72 Amazon.co.uk has them in stock today. Local stores in the UK also have them. Also, my local stores in Reykjavik are full of them.

Re: Hori Unveils Another Nintendo Switch Headset for July, With Plenty of Wires
These are the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. That top image symbolises everything that is wrong with Nintendo...
Re: Snake Pass Update For Switch Adds Time Trial Mode And Lots More
Just downloaded it now. Gonna give it a try! Must be quite a decent sized update. Really glad to see them supporting the game.
Re: Review: Cave Story+ (Switch)
Picked this up for £22 physical, including postage from US to the UK, off Amazon.com. Looking forward to it. Never played before.
Re: ARMS Grabs Second Place in the UK Charts
The only reason Horizon: Zero Dawn is doing so well is because it got massive price drops. I'm sure if ARMS cost £25 it'd be number 1...
Re: Splatoon 2 Gets A Resolution Boost Over The Previous Global Testfire Build
Happy to hear it. Makes other companies look bad when they can barely manage 720p at 60fps...
Re: We Know There's An Appetite For Virtual Console On Switch, Says Reggie Fils-Aime
Nintendo are simply dragging their feet on this. The Wii has VC. The 3DS has VC. The Wii U has VC...
Re: LEGO Worlds Puts the Blocks in Place for a Fall / Autumn Release on Nintendo Switch
I was excited for this game, but it gets bad reviews and also costs less than £20 on PS4/Xbox One. So I'll probably give it a miss...
Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions Revealed for 3DS at E3
Meh. Also, "Game only in 2D". Even Nintendo can't be bother to make 3D games for their own console...
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 is Revealed, But Platforms Are Unannounced
This game will not make onto switch for the simple reason that it is highly violent and contains crazy amounts of swearing... Sigh
Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Splatoon 2 Pro Controller for the Region
I pre-ordered, but cancelled. For all I really use the one I have already...
Re: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Confirmed for 17th November Release on 3DS
Wow. It's only 7 months since they came out. And what's the change? A new storyline and some extra Pokémon? For another £39.99? I think not, Nintendo.
Re: Sony Thinks You'll Buy A PlayStation 4 Alongside Your Nintendo Switch
We've always had more than one console. At one point, we had GameCube, PS2 and Xbox. Now we have a Wii U and a Switch, but we've just bought an Xbox One S. Mainly for 4K, but also for some games.

Great to see updates coming thick and fast and bug fixes too.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Ramping Up Switch Production For This Fiscal Year
@Moon I recently read they've so far sold just over 4 million: 2.75m in the first 27 days and a further 1.3m since then.
Re: Review: Disgaea 5 Complete (Switch)
Never played one of the other games in the series and I'm loving the demo. Can't wait for my full edition to come next week.
Re: Nintendo Switch UK Tour Confirmed, Starting in June
UK tour meaning England - and just 3 days in 2 other nations... What a joke.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th May (Europe)
Disgaea 5 and Darksiders in physical format.
Re: Video: Cars 3: Driven to Win Looks Decent In Its Gameplay Trailer
It's 2017 and companies are still churning out games with graphics like this on modern games consoles? Jeez...
