Here comes some more random Fire Emblem crap.

@Plexagon exactly this.

@BradT "They literally got away with murder with The Witcher 3."

Literally? Did you mean to use that word there?

I have never played a Street Fighter game. Didn't own SNES/Mega Drive back in the day. First proper console I got was PS1 and I got hooked on Tekken. My decision was made. Must try it out sometime.

This list is sus.

@iulis84 Sorry. Didn't mean to go after you. Just making a point. Apologies again.

@iulis84 Don't see how. Stadia just isn't making their own games. They're still releasing games, new games at that. TV's are starting to come with Stadia built in this year. Hardly seems like a smart thing to do if the platform is no more.
People seem to think a studio shutting down equals a platform shutting down. They're very different things.

@RasandeRose yep you can still buy games on Wii U. When was the last time it had a new release though? Stadia is getting new games all the time. They released over 100 games last year on the platform with plans to release more than that this year. Which is unusual for a dead platform.

@Ventilator people are set in their ways. If Stadia doesn't interest someone, that's fine. It's all the people who have never tried it or still think it's a subscription service but post stuff like "input lag blah blah blah" or "Stadia just doesnt work".
Just because it doesn't work well for one person, doesn't mean another person won't have a great experience with it.

@1UP_MARIO this.

I woke up this morning and could still play all my Stadia games. Is that how a dead platform works???

People seem to freak out when they don't know what's coming for months and months in advance. Last year I didn't think I was going to spend any money on my Switch after August. Then all of a sudden they dropped all the Nintendo 35 news as well as Zelda AoC. I much prefer getting announcements without having to wait a year or more for it to come to fruition.

Just started Mario Galaxy for the first time. Also on other platforms, dipping into the Madden free play weekend.

The game was decent. Enjoyed the gameplay but not the story so I ultimately fell off it after a few hours and traded it in.

Attempted this game twice but it just wasn't for me. Enjoyed parts of it but it just didn't click. Really enjoying the books and was a big fan of Netflix series.

Played the test demo. Runs great. As good as the Control one that I bought before. Very hard to notice a difference between it and a local game. But Hitman games just aren't for me. Played 1 and 2 a bit on Stadia as they were free but I just didn't click with them.

Given this won't go down in price ever knowing Nintendo, I'll pick this up at some point but I'm in no rush. Still haven't gotten around to Sunshine and Galaxy yet.

Can't wait to play Turn Left Simulator.

@NinChocolate Same.

The only reason I beat the game after however many many hours was so that in my own head I could move on a bit from the game to focus on other stuff. I've gone back to it a few times since and have started chipping away at old side quests bit by bit. It's never gotten any less enjoyable.

@Ghostchip the original Xbox controller (the Duke) was a dose to play with. Turns out my olden days of playing with a joystick were probably the most ergonomical.

Sorry to hear about your injury. I work a lot with mouse and keyboard for my job and definitely after a few hours each day I need to stretch my hands and wrists to keep them from completely giving up on me. It's not easy. I only get to game for maybe an hour each day so I feel my work day is probably doing more damage than my gaming time.

For a sec I thought that was a new joycon design in the pic.

I don't play this game but credit to Fortnite for trying to appeal to every possible market. If I was into that game I'd have bought so many skins by now.

I have converted 6 of my 7 gamer friends to Stadia in the last 3 months. Most of these would be gaming every day, most have the Switch. When some of the big games came out towards the end of the year they wanted to play them without dropping €500 on a new console. I'd be plugging stadia to them for months and they all finally cracked and got cyberpunk at Christmas. They've all since bought other games.
There is definitely a market for people who just want to play games and don't give a crap about "owning" it. As long as they can play with minimum fuss they are happy. Also a lot of the gang have kids now and don't want to have to deal with patches, console updates etc. Just buy game, click play, go.

@DoctorShrunk am I technically streaming nintendolife right now? Was thinking it was a bit "laggy".

@SwitchForce how are you replying to me right now? Carrier pigeon?

@SwitchForce who doesn't have Internet these days?

A question for the reviewer @PJOReilly :

Will every cloud version review of a game that comes to Switch have a "con" at the end saying "Performance relies on a solid internet connection"? Given that you're streaming the game I would have thought this was just known. Seems like a harsh thing to criticise a game for something that is out of the games control.

@Sandro89 I usually pick it up new once every few years. In between I might pick it up when it's on sale for less than €10.

@TheFrenchiestFry ............well said........I think!

@Fiskern The performance was not good for you! It performs very well if you've got decent internet.

@th3r3ds0x I don't think cloud gaming will ever pass out local console/pc gaming. I think it will just be another option for people. A much cheaper option at that.
As for not owning games, ya thats a valid point and I get why some people are hung up on this. Personally, I'm playing games now. I'm not worried about if I can play Cyberpunk or whatever in 20 years time. I am buying the game to experience it. When I'm done I'll move on to the next thing. If I've got value for money out of my experience I'm happy.
As I mentioned, I've played AC Odyssey for 60 hours, it cost me €23 on Stadia. I got value for money there.

That's fair. If it runs poorly for you then I wouldn't settle for that. Thankfully streaming runs great for me. As good as my XBox One runs games locally without having to worry about downloading big game files, patches and storage. Perfect for me.

@th3r3ds0x Each to their own, but if the options are you cannot play this game at all or you can only play a cloud version of this game then I would choose the 2nd option all day long.
I'm getting to play games I would never have had the chance to thanks to cloud gaming. 60 hours into AC Odyssey and it's definitely in my top 5 fav games ever. I'd have missed out otherwise. I have an Xbox One but I dont get to play it as much as i would like, being able to play on cloud gives me more ways to play these big games (TV, phone, PC browser, tablet) so I'm more likely to give them a go.

@GrailUK why would they charge any less than full price? You're getting to play the full game.

@th3r3ds0x being able to play the game at all benefits the customer. If I only own Switch I'd have no access to this game. You'd rather I have no access at all than have the choice to play a cloud version?

Love cloud gaming but I'm not interested in this game. I've enough to play on Switch and Stadia as it is. And I have Hitman 1 and 2 on my Stadia Pro subscription. If I want to try out the series I'll start with them.

@WhiteTrashGuy $25 would be a good price for this for me to bite too. Played the Stadia demo and the biggest turn-off for me was the "comedy". Just didn't like it. But I'm sure plenty love that side of it.

Top teams? lololololololololololol

Played it on Stadia awhile back (it was a free game on Pro). At €10 it's probably worth it. Decent game.

Hilarious! Looks like a €2 mobile game though. Price is a bit steep for what you get.

I think if I showed the NYT my backlog they'd probably think I'm not gaming enough.

I picked up a portable dock for €25 awhile back. Very handy for throwing into my Switch carry case.

Dam, didn't know you win a coin. Only played a few games.

@BTB20 Ireland is listed but when I go through the checkout it says no delivery to that country at the end.

Can't deliver to Ireland. Thanks Nintendo. And thanks Brexit.

Looking at the advert for it it looks just like Mario Odyssey or any other mainline 3D Mario game. How is it different?

Mmm, it's a no from me. Much prefer the sleek colours of the original console and dock.

@COVIDberry yes it is. Well done, you've discovered my secret.

@COVIDberry dude chill. Its a game. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it shouldn't be talked about.

@kozaru the UK is mad about football. The Premier League is probably the biggest league in the world right now. Make sense that fifa would be popular there
