Nice to see Ninty recignise the worth of classic games but makes it more baffling they don't add them more often. I've tweeted Nintendo UK to register my disappointment at no additions to the NSO library in January.
Hope I'm wrong but think the swap points for cash mechanic has permanently replaced the % discounts on Switch so we'll never get them. Would be very pleased to be proved incorrect.
First concern is the potential daily rush for money rocks / fruit etc but pleased about simultaneous multiplayer. Assuming this is partly to offset people having multiple saves on one but like Pokemon (three of us can share saving me £100)
Mine expired after Xmas and I wasn't going to renew until they added more games, only decided to renew when they added the extra SNES and NES games. Hope its not next Xmas before they add more....
I think the growth of online dedicated services eg Stadia and the Microsoft one will be what eventually dampen Switch sales more than the more traditional next round of next gen consoles.
I loved Double Dragon as a kid. I remember spending over £5 at 10p a go on the arcade (I'm very old) and coming out physically sweating at the end of it.
Please be a new Wario Kart. Half of the suggestions would be fantastic but sadly doubt seem to have sufficiently widespread mainstream appeal to be their Xmas game. Metroid for example would be great but probably not sell enough.
Really disappointed but what I understand to be the mobile app requirement. My kids are too young for phones but would love to trade and it seems to be at best really difficult for them to do this under the new system. Getting them online through a family plan was tricky enough (I'm not that bright.)
At nostalgia just isn't what it used to be... Would love to see games inspired by Syndicate and Settlers. Bully felt inspired by Skooldaze and so was awesome.
Thanks for this. With so many great games in sale it's really helpful to see a wider perspective. Already have binaries but never played. Really tempted by Loathing but fear it'll must've another game I never get round to playing....
Really hoping this is compatible with the joy con. Accessibility issues mean my adapted joy con is my go to controller and the few GB buttons are ideal to play.
I lost use of my left hand but can play a number of games one handed with a special 3d printed adapter to put both joy cons back to back and play with one hand.
Achievements, more NSO options and a better interface please. I'm quite happy with my switch as is so would personally prefer they look to improve in other areas.
Not played 3 houses (it's on my ridiculous backlog) so not fussed by the reveal personally but glad it makes some happy and unsurprised some moan about it. Liked the binary bit!
I put it down as quite important as I'm (pretty) sure we'll get a direct during the week (as well as some fab eshop discounts!) Happy with Ninty's approach.

Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You'd Like Persona, Etrian Odyssey And Other Past Games On Your Switch

Never did solve 2-2 of Kwirk on my trusty gameboy either.

Re: Hold Up, Nintendo Is Now "Considering" Animal Crossing: New Horizons Cloud Save Support
Can't shake the nasty and probably unworthy feeling this is all part of an expectations management plan / distraction by Nintendo.

Re: Get Discounts On Fire Emblem, Captain Toad And More With My Nintendo Rewards (Europe)
Hope I'm wrong but think the swap points for cash mechanic has permanently replaced the % discounts on Switch so we'll never get them.
Would be very pleased to be proved incorrect.
Re: Rumour: The Major Switch Title This Holiday Season Could Have "Tires" In It
Makes sense, would love a new Wario kart
Re: You Can Only Have One Island Per Console In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
First concern is the potential daily rush for money rocks / fruit etc but pleased about simultaneous multiplayer.
Assuming this is partly to offset people having multiple saves on one but like Pokemon (three of us can share saving me £100)

Continuing to grind Asphalt 9, just bought Goetia and Heist, and I think my son wants to play Smash Bros with me.
Should be fun.

Already got the awesome dig games but didn't have quest on switch so bought that - looking forward to playing through again.
Great sale.

Download Lathing, Heist and Goetia. One day I hope to play them

Regular updates to the retro console library that comes with online would be nice.
Adding in achievements would be also keep me playing.

Grouchy is the only one I distinctly remember, hoping he comes back, loved that grumpy bear!

Simultaneous play sounds awesome.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th January (Europe)
Steamworld heist discount tempting.
Even though have it on 3ds and currently have 30 games on my switch I haven't even started...
Re: Talking Point: Switch's Success Vindicates Nintendo's New Hardware Approach, But Does It Have Legs?
I think the growth of online dedicated services eg Stadia and the Microsoft one will be what eventually dampen Switch sales more than the more traditional next round of next gen consoles.
Re: The Kunio-kun World Classics Collection Appears To Finally Be Coming To The West
I loved Double Dragon as a kid. I remember spending over £5 at 10p a go on the arcade (I'm very old) and coming out physically sweating at the end of it.

Never played theme hospital but my wife loved it and has been asking me about that game for years. Really hope this satisfies that itch.
Re: Nintendo Just Applied For 39 Trademarks
Really hoping this is because Ninty plans to do something with them rather than just to stop others. Not hopeful though.
Re: Cuphead Gets A Limited-Time Discount On The Switch eShop
Sorry to be pedantic but think there's a typo on the rrp in the article.
Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?
I have probably 1000 games going back to NES but few boxed and mostly used so prob not worth too much.Still won't part with any yet though!
Re: Talking Point: What's Going To Be Nintendo's Big Game For Christmas 2020?
Please be a new Wario Kart.
Half of the suggestions would be fantastic but sadly doubt seem to have sufficiently widespread mainstream appeal to be their Xmas game. Metroid for example would be great but probably not sell enough.
Re: Pokémon Home Details Revealed: Free And Premium Plans, National Pokédex And More
@Saro will do, ta. At least in this version I get multiple save files so have only had to buy the game once for us each to play!
Re: Pokémon Home Details Revealed: Free And Premium Plans, National Pokédex And More

Re: Mini Review: Super Tennis - Calm Down, It's Not The Super Tennis You Think It Is
I do find myself wondering about the decision to do ahead and make this game. I'll stick with the SNES one.
Re: Feature: Best Nostalgic Switch Games
At nostalgia just isn't what it used to be...
Would love to see games inspired by Syndicate and Settlers. Bully felt inspired by Skooldaze and so was awesome.
Re: Review: Darius Cozmic Collection - Swimming With The Fishes
Lack of control options is disappointing. Limited mobility means I use an adapted joy con and the z buttons are much more accessible for me.
Re: Video: 12 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In February
Two point hospital - never played it myself but my wife has been asking me about Theme Hospital for years so for high hopes for this...

Re: Guide: Best Cheap Nintendo Switch Games - Switch eShop Deals (Europe)
Thanks for this. With so many great games in sale it's really helpful to see a wider perspective. Already have binaries but never played.

Re: Feature: Hyperkin Explains Why Its Next Console Is Bringing The Game Boy To Your Living Room
Really hoping this is compatible with the joy con.
Accessibility issues mean my adapted joy con is my go to controller and the few GB buttons are ideal to play.
Re: Video: Using The Xbox Adaptive Controller With Nintendo Switch
I lost use of my left hand but can play a number of games one handed with a special 3d printed adapter to put both joy cons back to back and play with one hand.
Re: Heartwarming Clip Shows Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Made More Accessible Thanks To Microsoft's Adaptive Controller
This is awesome.
As I recently lost use of my left side and games like this became beyond me its good to see moves afoot to make them available again.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Character Renders Appear, Long Sleeves For Animals Confirmed
Have fond memories of Groucho from my Wii days, hope he's back in my village soon.

Continuing to collect Asphal 9 stuff and train up my Pokemon.

Liked the binary bit!
Re: Poll: Is E3 Still Relevant To Nintendo In 2020?
I put it down as quite important as I'm (pretty) sure we'll get a direct during the week (as well as some fab eshop discounts!) Happy with Ninty's approach.
Re: Skies Of Arcadia Dev "Really" Wants To Make A Sequel
Loved Skies of Arcadia on my cube.
One of the few GC games I'd be willing tie pay for on any virtual console.
