Good. This entire thing baffles me - it seems to be purely to prevent item duplication which in a game like this doesn't seem to give you any competitive or significant advantage.
Sure a lot of people will appreciate this and happy for them, however my classic arcade memories include Double Dragon, Gauntlet, Kung Fu and Wonder Boy. Not Mahjong.
Putting in my pre-order. Still a bit bemused by all this hassle - it seems a lot of grief all because Nintendo is paranoid about people duplicating items. I must be missing why that is such a big issue in a game like this Duplication would happen anyway and doesn't really seem to give any significant advantage that I can see.
Something is better than nothing but this baffles me. I can see the clear disadvantages here but where is the benefit to anyone? I don't see the benefits from all this grief. Its not like duplicating items will give any significant benefit / advanrage
Refresh the partnership with Square for a new / remade final fantasy tactics game please! (Obscure and highly unlikely but I love the tactics games and couldn't really get into Bayonetta)
Content with current offering but would appreciate more choice - would like / take the option to pay more fore more retro games for example. Would gladly pay extra for a gba or n64 tier and if it write optional people could choose.
Never played Theme Hospital but my wife loved it and has been asking me about it for years (even dug out old copy and laptop to play a few years back!) Really hope this fits the bill. Pre-order discount would be appreciated
Went cold turkey on Go over 2 years ago and don't miss it. Did have hours of fun and met some really nice people when I did play it though. Never spent a penny on it. Rubbish like this reinforces my belief I made the right decision.
Continuing to grind Asphalt, trying to wonder trade for new Pokemon (currently got and sharing Litten and Rowlett, and multiplayer Hyrule Warriors with my son.
Really pleased to see another sale, though I already have everything I want so no purchases for me this time. I seem to be the only person who couldn't get into Rabbids - I got stuck and couldn't grind to level up or "get good." My bad and my loss I guess.
Got my pikachu having only downloaded the switch version. My phone is old, full and rubbish so won't get the app. Never transferred pokes from any previous generations. Guess this will be no different.
Remember heading out for day into Birmingham to buy this but we managed to get it in town on the way in. I wanted to go straight home to play it but my folks insisted on going to Brum anyway so I sulked for the whole day as I waited impatiently....
Cool. My kids do TT Rockstar as part of school homework which involves timed multiplication tests and they really enjoy the coin collecting / leveling up elements.
I'm an idiot and can't refuse a sale. My heart sank when I saw this as I already have 30 unplaced games on my switch but won't be able to refuse any descend deals. What sort of tool complains about a big sale? This one...
I have faith Ninty won't put anything too vital behind paid dlc - if there is some I believe I'll be able to live without it spoiling my game too much. Still not pre-ordering until cloud save sorted though.
Thanks for this. My kids are 6 and 9 and love Odyssey, Wario Kart and Pokemon. Waiting for Minecraft to be on sale. Will give rocket league a go with them There are also a good few smaller eshop titles - e.g. Puzzle book gave us a good few hours of cheap fun co-op play.
I bought 2 vouchers and used on Smash and Fire Emblem, bought another 2 in case the offer is suddenly withdrawn. Current plan is to use on animal crossing and save the other for the Xmas game (hopefully a new Wario kart!l

Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?
Content with current offering but would appreciate more choice - would like / take the option to pay more fore more retro games for example.

Re: Get Game Boy Classic Zelda: Link's Awakening DX For Less Than £3 With My Nintendo (Europe)

Never transferred pokes from any previous generations. Guess this will be no different.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th February (Europe)
Nothing for me. Selfishly, given my backlog, am pleased not enticed by the sales and the biggest discounts are on games I haven't heard of.
