@Lizuka I'll bank that for the next average Trek game. 😄
This whole situation is odd (not the delisting — that's frustratingly common!) considering the Switch version didn't appear to have any server checks whatsoever. I'd assume that it will continue to be playable after September, but as Ollie mentioned in the article, we'll update if/when we get confirmation of that.
@SBandy1 Agreed. Following a week off, I sat down at the desk raring to go on Monday morning and it was a total gut punch. Maybe it's getting older, or that I've been going on a Jurassic deep-dive with the kids over the past year or so, or the combination with everything else right now, but it's really affected me.
You know, Sony could 180 this entire thing with a single statement: "Hey, we said physical discs, not physical MiniDiscs..." *pulls out MiniDisc 2.0, blows minds
@Tasuki We can't give warning for something we don't know about.
@Shaw_Brothers If you own it, it should be redownloadable for "the foreseeable future". As an example, you can still redownload original Wii Shop games if you bought them, you just can't buy them anymore. Any unredeemed codes should still work, too - I just bought the same code in the box you did because I never got around to this one!
@Ooccoo_Jr A jiffy bag filled with swag from my bottom drawer is winging its way as I type. Keep an eye out for seven defective Joy-Con sticks, a Nintendo DS-branded screen cloth (only lightly soiled), and a cat-chewed spudger. 👊
@WeHaveKirbyAtHome All NL reviews used 'we' until Switch 2 launch, when we pivoted to singular. We use 'I' for many feature articles, too, although 'we' is still used for news at the moment (the 'my' in this post was a slip - I've adjusted now).
Identity-wise, we've steadily been moving away from the collective 'we' for over a year - it's used less than ever before!
@WeHaveKirbyAtHome It's all based on the download round-up Nintendo puts out every week, and it's a bit haphazard tbh - often the dates don't correspond as you'd imagine they should!
@CaptainQuo Fair point - I've updated with GBP where relevant.
@Pillowpants We've had it rough for so long at this point, I just expect it. But importing from the US atm comes with its own dangers - who knows what added costs you'll get stung with. 🤦
@TerribleTerabytes ? What money is this? Am I owed money?!
I’ve flagged from the headline down how sus the marketing spiel is and that it shouldn’t be taken seriously, and spent 1000 words+ exploring why. The thing works well enough, although it’s overpriced for the reasons mentioned above. It’s not bad, so it’s… “Not Bad”.
Feedback is always welcome, but I’m not sure how I’d “do better” here.
@AussieMcBucket @TheBoilerman A lot of people noped out with the fridge and the ending back in the day, but to me those felt totally in keeping with all the other crazy stuff he's done/witnessed! Crystal Skull's problems are that it drags massively in the middle and CG just nukes all the peril and passion. They said they were doing it old-school before release, and the very first thing onscreen was an unconvincing CG gopher. 🙃
I enjoyed DoD. 🤷♂️ More quality time with Ford and I found the themes touching.
@Thomystic It was time-saving in this week's case, but I want them listed too. We're going to be reworking the download format in the coming weeks, so watch this space.

Re: New Mario LEGO Minifigure Sets Are Small, But They Won't Break The Bank
The smaller ones here look worryingly like something that will end up in the trolley during the weekly shop.
"Hmm, yes, this week I should add a Swimshorts Mario minifig in with the fruit and veg."

Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
@Pak-Man So it is/was. Gobliiins in the system this week, it seems - I've added that and Starsand Island. 🫡
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
That's on purpose, as it's not out for a couple of weeks.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th August (North America)
@JohnnyMind Curious. I've added it now. You saw nothing.
Re: Review: Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) - Not What We Expected, But It Still Shines
@C-Olimar Indeed! A leftover from a different retro review intro (DK64 if you're interested😄) I pasted in. Zapped - thanks for flagging.

Hello everyone. Just a reminder that most of the comments above are from 2010 - a fine vintage but one that's 16 years old now! 😄

I've added a note detailing the free update available when playing the S1 version on S2. An odd workaround but a welcome one!

Re: Talking Point: As Sony Bins Physical, How Long Until Nintendo Follows Suit?
@rjejr Yeah, you can't put a disc in that, though. I want a disc slot.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 4 Confirmed For Switch 2, New Gameplay Showcased
@anoyonmus Correct - I've added a note to the text and also noted a 50% discount if you own the Cloud Versions.
Man, the names of this series! Maybe they spared us by not making it KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX- - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. 😄
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th June (North America)
@BaldB3lper78 Not in the plans, unfortunately. Busy time atm!
