Was thinking the same thing (where's the update?) I love Nintendo but they do seem to get bored of stuff a bit too quickly. Probably showing my ignorance here but can't imagine it's that hard to do regular updates or outsource the job to a reliable partner. My online expires in a few weeks. I won't renew until the games are updated.
Playing through shield with the kids. Deep into the postgame myself but they are still earning gym badges. Tempted by the sale - might get them Lego potter.
"Some fans are reportedly up in arms" - don't care about them or this - though clearly bothered enough to commentbon this. Loving the game as are my kids.
Ah amazon. If only other websites had affiliate links - sorry - such good deals.... Shouldn't really blame this site for trying to increase your revenue but too often I really can't help being an a$$
For 89p why not? Been trying to teach my son chess anyway so hopefully this will help. Loved chessmaster on my gameboy and battle chess on my speccy. I'm old.....
I was hoping for the odd update (e.g. A few old starter) but didn't expect the full set. Disappointed not to have the full choice for my team but I'll cope. If people are really that upset then I suggest not buying the game.
Would be nice if they added games regularly. The lack of a regular schedule worries me as Nintendo seem to have a habit of forgetting about these things after the initial fantastic burst.
My subscription expires Xmas and may not renew. The lack of a regular update schedule worries me as Ninty seem to get bored of / forget these things pretty quickly. Is it that hard to eg add a new game each week? Personal requests include kung fu, blades of steel and speedball 2
Shame. Used to love monkey ball back in the day. Might still get this as the kids will probably live it. Hammer throw was always a popular party game when we had friends round. Always good to see see ex ONM people on this site!
Brilliant. Didn't expect this but grateful capcom did this even though I won't be able to take advantage of it (no use of my left arm) Still need to try demo to see if can manage it one handed. Could do so for rerend revelations 2 so optimistic.
Amiibo obsession has left me now - I have dozens of them but they're now collecting dust and I don't buy any more. I only use them for hyrule warriors, revelations 2 and Wario for smash training
"One would assume...." indeed but assumptions are dangerous and disappointment is depressingly close.... Would guess / hope / expect all advertised pokes to be in the game but wouldn't put money on it...
Still trying to 100% hyrule warriors with the kids. Termina down but still a long way to go Also started the promising Wargroove and unlocked mercenaries on Resi 4
Strangely there isn't a "no I'm paralyzed down my left hand side" option. Would get it otherwise. Loved Wii fit and still have a balance board somewhere. Think the kids would love it too
Vaguely tempted by the <£1 disounted price as it might be a fun short game to play with my son. Less tempted as the only review I can find calls this a "turd"
Love the resident evil games but Capcom's ability to disappoint is exceeded only by Nintendo's (and then only because Ninty's highs are so much higher)
Still working through Hyrule Warriors - finally got all badges just the maps, challenges and spiders to go... Have bought Wargroove and Stardew valley in the sale but putting off starting them.
Excellent! Been waiting for Stardew Valley to be on sale for ages. Unfortunately I'm one handed so twin stick games are beyond me. Do i need the right stick? Will get Wargroove as can manage turn based ok...
@Benjoo it plays pretty well (especially compared to older iterations) and haven't really noticed any major warming. Battery doesn't seem to last more than about 2 hours but I do have a launch Switch so the battery is never great. Great game if you get bitten by the collecting bug - far too easy to lose a lot of time in it.
Someone changes something and some people complain on the internet using emotive language. Personally not too fussed. Unsure why I even posted this. Apologies for wasting 10 seconds of your time.
I think we'll get a good flurry over the first few months to complement the excellent opening 20, but after that, like the Nes - Ninty will get bored and it'll dry up
In 30 years of Nintendo gaming I've been very lucky with very few issues: I was caught up in the n64 power pack recall of the late 90s. (Got a cheap GB pocket as compensation!) My ds lite screen broke when I dropped it My 3ds shoulder buttons stopped working twice probably from dust collection
My other consoles and controllers all work at last check (I have a full loft)
I've never met and don't know anyone who feels able to review and score a game without playing it. However I won't let my lack of knowledge stop me from giving them a review anyway: 4/10
A shame, but having recently replayered a lot of old Speccy / Nes / Amiga etc games I'm rapidly finding out nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
My favorite Speccy game was Bak 2 Skool but it took a conceted effort like Bully to do it justice.

Re: Deals: Black Friday Madness Means Cheap Micro SD Cards For Your Switch
No affiliate links? Bought 400gb in the last sale but less than 100gb spare. Hoping 500gb reduces again soon.

Blimey. Haven't finished Pokemon or even started fire emblem but can't resist a sale....
Will get Civ 6 and tempted by don't starve and streetfighter.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 16th)
Shield. My son's first Pokemon game and we're having a great time.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Sword And Shield Are Out Today, Which Version Are You Getting?
Got shield. Always try to get the less popular one. Loving it.

Preordered Pokemon shield (1.5 hours to go!) and zen chess (was under £1 and thought would help teach my son chess)

Re: Review: Bubble Bobble 4 Friends - A Timely Update That Proves Classic Gameplay Never Ages
Looking forward to playing this but happy to pay the original until this one gets a massive discount. Echo the calls for a puzzle bobble game.

Re: Review: Garfield Kart Furious Racing - A Rancid, Regurgitated Hairball Of A Racer
Amazing - no-one seriously proposing an alternative score whether they've played it or not! Garfield unites in a way Brexit can only dream of...
Re: What Sakurai Really Meant When He Said Smash Bros. "Is For Good Boys And Girls"
I'm fine with it. I love playing Smash with my young son and stuff like this just makes it a bit more awkward. Hyrule warrior's Cia is bad enough.
Re: There Are "No Plans" To Bring The Full Pokédex To Pokémon Sword And Shield, And Future Games Will Follow Suit
I was hoping for the odd update (e.g. A few old starter) but didn't expect the full set. Disappointed not to have the full choice for my team but I'll cope.
If people are really that upset then I suggest not buying the game.
Re: Don't Expect Any New Classic Edition Consoles Soon, Says Nintendo - You've Got Switch Online Instead
Would be nice if they added games regularly. The lack of a regular schedule worries me as Nintendo seem to have a habit of forgetting about these things after the initial fantastic burst.
Re: Android 10 Now Supports The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
Brilliant. If this means I can use my joy cons all the better as I have a custom adapter that lets me hold both one handed.
Re: Get Discounts On Mario, Animal Crossing And More In The Latest My Nintendo Rewards (Europe)
Look good and appreciate any discount but haven't touched my 3ds for over a month.
Re: Nintendo Will "Continue To Enhance" Switch Online Content, To Encourage More Users To Try The Service

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st October (Europe)
Holding fire for bigger re 5 discount especially as Pokemon is out soon and only halfway through Wargroove.
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD - Improved Controls Ruined By Some Odd Design Choices
Shame. Used to love monkey ball back in the day. Might still get this as the kids will probably live it. Hammer throw was always a popular party game when we had friends round.
Always good to see see ex ONM people on this site!
Re: Launch Patch For Resident Evil 5 And 6 On Switch Adds Gyroscopic And Motion Controls
Brilliant. Didn't expect this but grateful capcom did this even though I won't be able to take advantage of it (no use of my left arm)
Still need to try demo to see if can manage it one handed. Could do so for rerend revelations 2 so optimistic.
Re: Heads Up! The Nintendo Official UK Store Has A Bunch Of Legend Of Zelda amiibo Back In Stock
Amiibo obsession has left me now - I have dozens of them but they're now collecting dust and I don't buy any more. I only use them for hyrule warriors, revelations 2 and Wario for smash training
Re: Guide: The Best Video Game Books
Glad to see the excellent Chris Scullion's superb NES encyclopedia top of the list. Well worth it!
Re: Could All Pokémon Featured In Nintendo's Nostalgic Sword And Shield Ad Be Included In The Galar Pokédex?
"One would assume...." indeed but assumptions are dangerous and disappointment is depressingly close....

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 19th)
Still trying to 100% hyrule warriors with the kids. Termina down but still a long way to go
Also started the promising Wargroove and unlocked mercenaries on Resi 4
Re: Poll: Nintendo's Ring Fit Adventure Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Strangely there isn't a "no I'm paralyzed down my left hand side" option.
Would get it otherwise. Loved Wii fit and still have a balance board somewhere. Think the kids would love it too
Re: New Pokémon Sword And Shield Info Drop Coming Tomorrow, 16th October
Updated version of an older game available to buy and download immediately to keep you going for a month - a girl can dream...
Re: Chicken Range
Vaguely tempted by the <£1 disounted price as it might be a fun short game to play with my son.
Less tempted as the only review I can find calls this a "turd"
Re: Video: Resident Evil 5 And 6 Switch Demos Marred By Poor Performance
Love the resident evil games but Capcom's ability to disappoint is exceeded only by Nintendo's (and then only because Ninty's highs are so much higher)
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th October (Europe)
Really pleased about the RE demos.
I seem to be one of the few that really liked RE5.
Now I can find out if it's playable one handed on the Switch.
Re: Curve Digital Hosts Switch eShop Sale, Up To 85% Off 12 Games (Europe)
"Some discounts" is plural. I can see only one at 85% though I may buy it if it doesn't need the right control stick too much (I'm one handed.)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 28th)
Still working through Hyrule Warriors - finally got all badges just the maps, challenges and spiders to go...
Have bought Wargroove and Stardew valley in the sale but putting off starting them.

Still working my way towards 100%ing hyrule warriors with help from the kids and raid mode in Revelations 2 on my own.
Re: Switch's NES And SNES Games Will No Longer Be Added Monthly
I think we'll get a good flurry over the first few months to complement the excellent opening 20, but after that, like the Nes - Ninty will get bored and it'll dry up
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 17th)
Continuing to work through Revelations 2 and hyrule warriors as I can play them one handed.
Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
In 30 years of Nintendo gaming I've been very lucky with very few issues:
I was caught up in the n64 power pack recall of the late 90s. (Got a cheap GB pocket as compensation!)
My ds lite screen broke when I dropped it
My 3ds shoulder buttons stopped working twice probably from dust collection
My other consoles and controllers all work at last check (I have a full loft)
Re: Two More NES Games Join The Nintendo Switch Online Service In August
D'oh - for an instant I thought this was Kung Fu, loved that game in the arcades.
Re: Kairosoft's World Cruise Story Arrives On The Switch eShop Later This Week
This looks promising. If it's anything like Theme Hospital my wife will love it!
Re: 3DS System Update 11.10.0-43 Is Now Live
Still play mine daily. Had to update it so I could continue to play Pokemon Shuffle.
Re: Review: Gear.Club Unlimited 2 - Sluggish Controls Force This Real-World Racer Off The Track

Like and appreciate this. I found the site thanks to the reviews of games not covered elsewhere. Thanks.
Re: Review: Saboteur! - A Well-Intentioned Nostalgia Trip That Fails To Get Pulses Racing
A shame, but having recently replayered a lot of old Speccy / Nes / Amiga etc games I'm rapidly finding out nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
My favorite Speccy game was Bak 2 Skool but it took a conceted effort like Bully to do it justice.
