@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.

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.

@Damo Ah I see. I'm still on the fence about picking this up. Looks great though.

This has been on sale for ages. Why the article now?

I've got the Link, Zelda and Revali statues already. They're great.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I played the hell out of 2 so looking forward to something new in 3. Not interested in the story, I'm there for the multiplayer. Love it.

Will check out the demo later. Good price too. Looks interesting.

@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.

No. I have enough games to play without having another subscription to pay for. I'll buy the DLC separate.

@Bearzilla823 NintendoLife posted an article saying this. See here:

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.

Will wait for a sale. In no panic to play these games.

@Bearzilla823 you only have to pay $25 once.

Will likely wait for a review on this one. Mario Tennis and Golf were not enjoyable to me. Hope this is better.

Looks decent to me. If I had an interest in baseball I'd buy this.

@Donutsavant huge if true.

Seems like I'm in the minority. I like the cloud gaming option.

As much an all as I would like a white one to match my Series S console, I don't need this. My day one Switch still working perfectly.

Nintendo lawyers at the ready.

Was he paid in standard money or crypto to advertise this? I'd guess probably standard money.

AC2 is on of the best games I ever played. Great story and great ending.

I've had the Switch since launch and this year has definitely been the least I've played it. Not many games grabbed my attention.

I did my year in review on the Nintendo website and I used my Switch a lot less this year compared to other years. My most played game was Hyrule Warriors AOC (which is technically a 2020 game). Metroid was only OK for me, the N64 online was a mess from once the price was annoucned followed by poor emulation, and nothing else springs to mind so that probably says it all for me. 4 out of 10. Would have ranked lower but I still enjoyed older multiplayer games with friends on occasion.

@aznable I'd say that is a large part of their target audience. Personally, I have a games room and like collecting things from my favourite franchises. I have no youtube channel, it is purely for my own enjoyment. And BOTW is easily my favourite game ever so I'm loving this.

Screw it, pre-ordered.

Will give this a try on one of the other platforms.

@MaddenR87 I've just gone through the French or German sites the last few times. It is annoying though.

@nhSnork I wasn't paying that much attention to that aspect of the argument they were making. If they hadn't mentioned it I'm not sure I would have known what gen we are currently in to be honest.

@TheWingedAvenger "never be a 9th generation".
I've got news for ya, we're in the 9th gen. Sales of PS5 and Series S/X are going very well. And while graphically there might not be a massive difference just yet between 8th gen and 9th gen games, we are only 1 year in. Give it time. Also we are getting additional benefits like better load times and more consistant framerates/resolution.

Metroid Dread and Guardians of the Galaxy on Switch. Red Dead 2 elsewhere.

This doesn't bother me. Will get it physical on Switch. Looking forward to having GTA on the go.

I have no idea what NFTs are and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Nothing for me, thankfully. I've enough to play for the next while.

Will likely bounce between Metroid Dread and Guardians of the Galaxy.

@PJOReilly yep, fair enough.

@Gwynbleidd I understand your point and agree to a certain extent. But not everyone is having an unbearable experience. It works great for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm glad its on the Switch in some form as I wouldn't have access to it otherwise.

I love how when people have a bad experience with a cloud game they make a blanket statement saying that it doesn't work. Correction: it didn't work well for you. That doesn't mean it will be bad for everyone. It's crap that it doesn't work the same for everyone but thats the nature of the internet. I'm having a blast with it and the performance is great. And my internet is by no means ultra fast. It's just fast enough. Try the demo before buying and see if it works for you before taking this or any review as gospel.

Started the game last night. It's been a slow year in gaming this year but I feel this could be a contender for game of the year for me. Up there with Metroid Dread. The writing is great, I'm liking the gameplay so far and the music is perfect. Highly recommend to play if it runs well for you.

Tried the demo. Runs great. Will be purchasing.

Will be signing up for sure. Once I finish A few other games I'm playing right now.

Bought Banjo, Min Min and Kazuya. None of the rest appealed to me so I'm glad I didn't get the packs prior to announcements.

I have some of these N64 games and the console setup in my games room but I get very little time to play them. Having them on a handheld console is extremely convenient so I might bite on this. Might finally get around to playing Zelda OOT.

@NinTasha Wouldn't call that bad taste. Different taste. Different people like different things.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this game. Roll on the 26th.

Been playing this all weekend. I think this might be one of my favourite games ever. The visuals, the music, the effects. Just magic.

Joycon drift has entered the chat.
