I'm on holidays at the moment so can't get good enough WiFi to jump into the Splatfest. So I'm jumping between a pirate life on Monkey Island and a classic I never got around to playing in Portal 2. Loving both.
Haven't played an NBA game in a few years, will likely wait for the big drop in price in the new year before I dive into this one, and probably not on Switch but another platform.
@DiamondJim I guess they're reviewing the game and not the filesize. I agree it would have been nice to mention it but at the end of it all it's the game experience thats being reviewed here.
People expect too much everytime there's a Direct. I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by a good few announcements. Well done Nintendo.
Is there irony in the fact the people who are gender fluid assumed this character's gender, but if I assume a gender fluid person's gender I get abuse?
Really looking forward to this. Put a lot of hours into the last game but probably haven't played it once in the last year or 2. Looking forward to jumping back in.
I'm a newbie. BOTW was my first. I've since played the remake of Links Awakening and didnt enjoy it, and currently playing Skyward Sword and really enjoying it.
It's been over 5 years since the last one. That's enough time to justify a sequel. Looking forward to jumping back in. Splatoon 2 is in my Top 5 favourite Switch games. I'm optimistic that 3 will be even better.
@UltimateOtaku91 I think most review sites regard 10 out of 10 as "A Masterpiece" or "Amazing", rather than claiming the game is perfect or flawless. A game can have some minor issues and still be regarded as amazing
Looks great but can't justify that price. I love the cheaper statues they make and have bought a few of them. They look great on display in the games room.
The game is great fun on local game nights. But none of my friends own a copy so I tend to not play too much. Dont have friends to start an online team and I'm not too bothered about teaming up with strangers. Its a pity, the gameplay is fun.
@tylerryan79 Ya I did a bit of research into them before as to why there was such a difference in price with some of them. I'm happy enough getting the cheaper versions. They look great up on the Game Room display shelf. Some of the F4F designs are great, just wish they made more at the cheaper end of the scale.
@larryisaman same. The most I've paid for any of their statues is €80. They're great but a lot are too pricey for me. There's one or 2 I'm usually shopping around for to see if I can pick them up cheaper elsewhere.
Tried it out yesterday. Looks great to me. Only drawback was struggling to find a game. Only got to play one game in the space of half hour due to matchmaking issues. Hopeully thats just early teething problems.
I have the Link and Zelda ones. If I get anymore I'll have to get them all. They sit proudly beside some other statues and consoles in my game room display. They're great quality and can be picked up cheaper on other websites a few months after release sometimes.
Played about an hour of it at the weekend. Fun little game but not completely blown away by it like most people seem to be. Maybe the more I play it I'll see what everyone else does. Solid 7 out of 10 for me.
80% of people saying theirs is either in great condition or pretty good condition. Was expecting these numbers to be much worse considering all the negative coverage about build quality. Mine is still in great shape. Broke one joycon but that was 100% my fault and not the controller's.
@Anti-Matter I'm similar, only really interested in MK8 DLC. Don't think I'll be buying anything else there to be honest. Splatoon 3 and BOTW2 is what I want this year really.
A quick google throws up numerous articles from other gaming websites that back this up. Nintendo was not very clear in the way they said this but it seems to be the case.

Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
Still not signed up to this service as I think it's a tad on the pricey side. But maybe in the future I'll dip in to it for the odd month or 2.

Re: First 4 Figures Reveals Legend Of Zelda 'Link On Horseback' Resin Statue, Pre-Order Now
It's too expensive for my collection. Looks cool but will have to pass.

@romanista @__jamiie yep, that was confirmed.
Re: Random: People Are Getting Pretty Worried About Splatoon 3
It's been over 5 years since the last one. That's enough time to justify a sequel. Looking forward to jumping back in. Splatoon 2 is in my Top 5 favourite Switch games. I'm optimistic that 3 will be even better.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
There's no one thing that stands out. I love the collection I have as a whole. It tells my video game history.

@Zverik where are you seeing €50? It's €40 in my local shop boxed copy.
Re: Random: Up Or Down The Stairs? Super Mario Illusion Confuses The Internet
You can tell by the positioning of his left foot, it has to be going up. No one would walk downstairs like that.
Re: First 4 Figures Reveals Crash Team Racing Statue, Pre-Orders Now Open
Looks great but can't justify that price. I love the cheaper statues they make and have bought a few of them. They look great on display in the games room.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Update Adds Daisy, Shy Guy, And More
The game is great fun on local game nights. But none of my friends own a copy so I tend to not play too much. Dont have friends to start an online team and I'm not too bothered about teaming up with strangers. Its a pity, the gameplay is fun.
Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
It was 1990 and the game was TMNT on MS DOS. Mind blowing to my 5 year old brain. First Nintendo game was Duckhunt at a friends house.
Re: How Do You Improve The Switch Pro Controller? Just Add Some 'Click'
Would have thought analogue triggers were more important than clicking buttons.

Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year 2022 So Far?
I've played about 3 of these games. Nothing has grabbed me this year really so I'm using the time to work through the backlog.
Re: Gallery: First 4 Figures' Zelda: BOTW Hylian Shield - Because It's Dangerous To Go Alone
@Damo Ah I see. I'm still on the fence about picking this up. Looks great though.
Re: Gallery: First 4 Figures' Zelda: BOTW Hylian Shield - Because It's Dangerous To Go Alone
This has been on sale for ages. Why the article now?
I've got the Link, Zelda and Revali statues already. They're great.

Re: First 4 Figures Opens Pre-Orders For Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mipha Statue

Re: Nintendo Releases New Introductory Video For Mario Strikers: Battle League
After not really enjoying Mario Tennis or Golf I'm going to be a bit more cautious about this one. Will wait for reviews on this before buying.
Re: Will The Zelda-Style 'Tunic' Come To Nintendo Switch? Let's Hope So
Played about an hour of it at the weekend. Fun little game but not completely blown away by it like most people seem to be. Maybe the more I play it I'll see what everyone else does. Solid 7 out of 10 for me.
Re: Random: It's Been 1000 Days Since Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Was Announced
It'll be ready when it's ready. Looking forward to it but in no panic for it either. Have enough on my playlist as it is.
Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?

Will check out the demo later. Good price too. Looks interesting.
Re: This Official Nintendo Direct Infographic Showcases All Its Reveals

Re: Poll: Will Mario Kart 8's Deluxe Booster Course Pass Make You Buy The NSO Expansion Pack?
No. I have enough games to play without having another subscription to pay for. I'll buy the DLC separate.

@Bearzilla823 you only have to pay $25 once.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Kicks Off On Switch This Summer
Will likely wait for a review on this one. Mario Tennis and Golf were not enjoyable to me. Hope this is better.
