Interesting that they're planning on re-releasing My Time at Portia with improved performance, I would happily go back to that game if it ran perfectly
Didn't realise you HAD to get married to progress which is interesting. Do you get to carry on as your kid? Watched some of the gameplay for it and it looks great
I mean this in no offence as its great that the GBA is getting more titles, but why?? All I can think is that they wouldn't be able to charge that amount if it went on to the Switch. I would love to get into game dev but why aim it and narrow down your market by releasing on a defunct system. Its a very niche market they're aiming at
More games should have demos, just let us have a wee try to see what it's like, some games may get more sales from people that aren't sure if they'll like it or not. It might've stopped me buying a few games that I thought I'd like too 🤣
@Hunter-D it does suffer from some performance issues but it doesn't stop the game from being amazing and it's impressive that it even runs on the Switch. Loading times can be long going between galaxies and there's pop up when walking around. But it's still a fantastic achievement that I would highly recommend
@LikelySatan next time it's on sale I might take the plunge, been watching some gameplay today and it does look good. Do you just stay on the same planet or can you fly around like NMS?
@Bigmanfan some people don't have any other consoles or PCs to play it on?? Myself included. The kids play it on their ipads but I prefer playing with an actual control pad
my kids have recently got into this on their ipads so thought I'd dust off the Switch version. I update it and it doesn't even load, its gets to 66% and stays there....
UPDATE: it's a known issue apparently https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-168284
@WallyWest am I just be daft? 🤦♂️ Hahaha! Will have a looksie after
EDIT - I'm not being daft, I have an S Class and 2 A Class mining techs on my multi tool and it's still canny slow
I love the bug fixes, but one thing I would love them to do is speed up the mining, it seems to take an age on Switch, sometimes takes a while to even make a small dent. Watched Twitch for the rewards and on the PC they just mined so easily. I appreciate the Switch isn't as powerful but it surely can't just be down to that?? But heck, what do I know!
@dugan I never played Yonder but never took the plunge, it was in my wishlist for ages. Played Grow for maybe an hour and couldn't get into it. @Magician will probably give you a different answer 🤣 maybe I just needed to give it more time?
@dugan I get that, it can be be hard to get into and love. I too like the collecting, as a fan of farming games, I find it quite similar with the process of collecting and selling, just with the added ability of travelling across galaxies and making anywhere your home!
People that find certain games boring, yet click and comment on them annoy me. If something doesn't interest me, I don't look at it, let alone bother to comment. The game is awesome, yes it may be a glorified fetch game, but it's done so well and besides I like this kind of gameplay loop
Yes we got DLC, but the rest was just filler. Very disappointed. Was hoping for at least GB and GBA games on NSO. As outside bets possibly Rush or Pinball, but I knew they wouldn't make the cut
I can't see it being about patches, very doubtful that they'd want to admit the royally effed up on a Presents! My bet is DLC being the star of the show
If they made the "Switch 2" clamshell then I'd be a happy man, to me the clamshell was one of the best things they came up with. A clamshell Switch with 2 screens? Oooooh 🤣
This is what they decide to update? I love you Nintendo but jeez are you terrible at updates! Customer : the eshop is slow Nintendo : let's add a word to the banned list!

Re: Review: MLB The Show 23 - A Solid Inning On Switch With A Stellar Storylines Mode
WOW! I'm a much more relaxed gamer, barely play a full game, love the moments and challenges and playing RTTS
Re: Review: MLB The Show 23 - A Solid Inning On Switch With A Stellar Storylines Mode
I'm quite enjoying the new iteration, wasn't going to go for it straight away but I stuck 250hrs into last year's so definitely got my money's worth

Re: No Man's Sky's Next Update Is On The Way, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@LikelySatan it's been in my wishlist for so long and I keep passing up on it each time it goes on sale, maybe next time...
Re: No Man's Sky's Next Update Is On The Way, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@HotGoomba hahahaha, the patch notes are for all versions on all consoles, but it would be awesome for the Switch to have VR!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 11th)
After seeing the new trailer for the Switch version, I've dug out Fantasy Life on the 3DS. So looking forward to playing it on Switch!
Re: No Man's Sky Updated To Version 4.13, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Godzil it does seem slower with the latest updates
Re: No Man's Sky Updated To Version 4.13, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Godzil it would be great if it was shorter, but it's probably a small price to pay for being able to fly from planet to planet in same system

Re: Cosy 3D Farming Sim 'Everdream Valley' Is Looking To Take Stardew's Crown
I love that it may be inappropriate for kids! 🤣 This looks awesome, hopefully it lives up to my expectations

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Pokémon Presents, Then?
Yes we got DLC, but the rest was just filler. Very disappointed.
Was hoping for at least GB and GBA games on NSO. As outside bets possibly Rush or Pinball, but I knew they wouldn't make the cut
Re: 'Pokémon Presents' Showcase Announced For Today, 27th February 2023
A Switch Pokémon Pinball game would make me faint!
Re: 'Pokémon Presents' Showcase Announced For Today, 27th February 2023
@Wilforce I would love Pokémon Rush on Switch! Good call but probably highly unlikely! I hope I get to eat my words and my hat
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 25th)
Playing and completing the new NMS update has got me back into exploring the stars, what a game!
Re: 'Captain Pikachu' Revealed For The New Pokémon Anime

Re: No Man's Sky 'Fractal' Update Launches Today, New Ship, Expeditions, Gyro Controls Added
Thank god we've now got the Nexus missions, after stupidly selling my Void egg on my main save I'm now able to get quicksilver!

I can't see it being about patches, very doubtful that they'd want to admit the royally effed up on a Presents! My bet is DLC being the star of the show

Re: Play MLB The Show 23 On Switch For Free Ahead Of Release (North America)
Has anyone tried the Switch tech test this year? Can't play it over here in the UK, interested to see if they've improved it in any way
Re: Soapbox: Switch Is Great, But The GBA SP Was The Pinnacle Of Public Transport Gaming
If they made the "Switch 2" clamshell then I'd be a happy man, to me the clamshell was one of the best things they came up with. A clamshell Switch with 2 screens? Oooooh 🤣
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 11th)
After the seeing the new Zelda trailer, I've started playing Breath of the Wild again

@Axecon 🤣🤣
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The February 2023 Nintendo Direct
I don't even want to play it, but want it released so people don't keep mentioning it (even though no one has mentioned it yet!)
SILKSONG!
