We won't see Mario Kart 9 til Switch 2. Hopefully as a launch title.

And we won't see any new content for MK8D. They would have done it by now if they were going to.

Can't see this happening myself. Things won't be back to normal til the start of next year at the earliest.

For me whichever one would look good as an Amiibo. As I still collect those and don't play the game.

Not played it since I unlocked all the Characters in Jan 2019.

Think I'm only keeping it because I collect the Amiibos still.

Sexy Nook.

That is all.

I'd love to see 'normal' Nintendo lego sets without gimmicks. Just let me build say, Hyrule Castle and Peach's castle for example.

Although, no doubt it will be overpriced because it is Lego.

That 2nd video is very impressive.

Looking forward to the sequel.

One of my favourite SNES games with a fantastic soundtrack.

If Switch 2 plays Switch 1 games there will be no need to port it. Although they might re-release it with the current DLC included.
Maybe include Subspace Emissary again as that's all that is missing from 'Ultimate'.

To me there's just no need to buy another Smash again.

Pop N' Twinbee is a great game and has some of the best music ever on the SNES.

Not played the other 3 but at least it is more 2 player stuff for the service.

@Mr_Pepperami

Exactly. Where is the Mario Party DLC. We need more boards and characters.

I guess I'm in the minority. But to me the dock is awful. I'd much prefer it matched the back of the Switch.

If price stays the same and you want one or any games/pre-orders, hold off til midnight UK people. They are doing 5% off everything on site. Discount code will be revealed then (as just been posted on their Facebook page).

Good that you have affiliate links to thegamecollection. Usually the cheapest option for games in the UK too.

This is a great update. I still won't be getting the game though as only briefly played the first one on Wii U.

I wish Nintendo would show some love to Super Mario Party though as it is needing new content. But guess they are holding off any updates for a sequel instead.

It's £54.99 on Amazon today if anyone in the UK wants it.

Be nice if they drop some more in December or January but as I've only completed Super Mario World and StarFox so far there is plenty to keep me busy.

Recently finished Link's Awakening, Ghostbusters and Luigi's Mansion too and only just started Starlink (finally).

And remember it is only £17.99 a year you lovely people. No point comparing it to other subscription services when it is so cheap!

Bought them both for £45 in Nectar points as Sainsbury's double up offer is on. Then traded them at CEX for £80 cash. Nice little mark up there with £35 profit. Even collected the Gold Points.

After 'Let's Go' I have no desire to play another Pokemon game unless it gets a full on BOTW style overhaul in the future.

Like others I've had Smash Chrom for a while now as the UK Nintendo store sent me it early. I posted this in the Amiibo forum. Was hoping other 2 would follow suit but guess they will arrive on release day.

Will be happy once I get the final 2 normal fighters in January. Then will just be the dlc ones to go.

Any UK readers received Chrom (Smash 80) 3 weeks early like me?

Got it from the UK Nintendo store. Very odd as they are usually quite strict and adhere to release dates.

Got my 10% off with the Catalogue code to use on my next order too.

@edgedino

Wasn't so bad? Was the issue the actual D-pad then? What magic fix did you find?

I have 2 launch day Pro-Controllers. Both have same issue with D-pads which I only discovered when playing Zelda 2 on the NES online service earlier this year. Basically, you end up changing direction when you press up sometimes. Or go up when pressing left or right. Great considering I'd never used the D-pad for any other games.

When I tried going up the vines in Mario 2 the game was pretty much unplayable as you'd veer off either left or right.

Sending them in to Nintendo for Repair they admitted they were both faulty but refused to take any responsibility for this being a design issue. So, I just got them returned. £34 per controller to fix a known issue was a bit much.

So now I use an 8bitdo SF30 for D-pad games.

Surely this should be offered to those over 25 as well if needed.

It is a lovely remake and although I've only played it docked the slight issues don't detract from overall experience.

Having finished it today I will sell it on for £35. Having paid £36 I am very happy with 15 hours of gameplay for a quid.

@Tandy255 Yes. Definitely slow down in certain parts of SMW with multiple enemies. SNES mini never had this issue.

Finished SMW at weekend 100%. Remembered all but 2 of the level exits without cheating. Not bad for it being 27 years since I first played it.

I'm okay with this. Plenty of SNES games to get us started. And if they drop say 6 in one go every few months or so then all is good.

At least I don't have to read the same negative comments every month when the NES games dropped now.

Switchercise

So many games but with Amazon's prices, so many cheaper Site's to buy them from.

Looking forward to it as I only played the Wii and PS3 version briefly. I managed to get it for £21 as preordered it ages ago.

To many this game is Ghostbusters 3. I still have high hopes for Ghostbusters 2020 too.

My wii u had issue with not enough power getting to it when switched on. Was launch model. Nintendo fixed it.

My 2 launch day pro controller dpads are still useless when playing certain games. Characters keep changing direction when up is pressed, either going right or left. Nintendo UK wants £34 per controller to fix them. They are still in denial about this known issue.

I recommend 'thegamecollection' too. Although you don't always get the game on release date. Yoshi arrived on a Saturday for example. But you get loyalty points you can use for money off a future order too.

Last month they did a 'Spend £80 get 10% off offer', not reported on this site though so I managed to pre-order Zelda for £36, Luigi for £36 and Ghostbusters for £21. I hope they do something similar in the future.

You get the ghost dog keyring with Luigi if anyone is after that.

I haven't bothered reading the comments coz they will be the same people repeating the same things that I have read for the last 10 months.

Let's see what September brings with the Anniversary of the service. Perfect time to add SNES support. Maybe...

Yup nearly a week too late.

I do think when you post an article like this and then you find out it is sold out you should really just delete the article. As there's no real point in it being there.

Also might be worth all of the team signing up to the Nintendo Store email newsletters. So it can be posted on the day something is announced as being in stock. Or just the UK readers sign up to them.

You should do a poll on the Pro-controller dpad issue too.

@Yorumi I bought 2 pro's at launch. Both have the dpad issue. For anyone who hasn't noticed just try going up a vine in Super Mario Bros 2. If you have the issue you'll soon drift to the left or right and fall off. Or try Zelda 1/2 on the map screen.

I sent 1 controller into Nintendo and they denied all responsibilty. Even though I have the issue on both controllers and made them aware of it. They wanted to charge me £34 per controller to fix it.

I just got them to return it
I bought an 8bitdo pro which I will use on future dpad games.

As for JoyCons I don't appear to have the issue although I haven't played using them or in handheld mode since Let's Go in November.

Buy it for £40 Physical. Complete it within 1 to 2 weeks. Sell it for £30-£35.

Not bad for a Fiver.

Then repeat with Luigi's Mansion 3 and so on...

Microsoft must know it is worth their time to port Rare Replay to Switch. Just do a Nintendo Edition and remove the Xbox games if needed. Or work with Nintendo so that the Donkey Kong games, Diddy Kong Racing and Star Fox Adventures can be included. I imagine it would sell well in all territories on Switch. And might give Microsoft more exposure in Japan.

Couldn't be bothered to read all the comments but I'm happy there is a 2nd option that will hopefully allow those who play Switch only in handheld or have kids to have another option.

As a Switch owner it isn't for me and isn't really for the majority of people on here who already have a Switch I guess.

It still isn't a Switch though but name is better than 'mini'. And those expecting original Switch to get a price drop. That isn't going to happen. Maybe the odd £30 eshop credit or game bundle but no official price drop.

@Indominus_B. It is UK only so unfortunately they won't dispatch to USA.

Do NintendoLife not subscribe to the Nintendostore emails. As this came through yesterday on the same email that had Links Awakening Collectors Edition available?

I'd love one to use it on my NTSC Nintendo 64 but at that price I'll put up with what it looks like currently on my OLED screen.

@TempOr. Although I can't remember what they said exactly I'm sure they mentioned it during the first E3 Treehouse session. I do remember them saying if you already own a different Link Amiibo it does the same thing.

@Anti-Matter I finally got round to playing my copy last month. It is really good. Then sold the cartridge on after completing the dlc.

I hope Rabbids 2 is announced at next years E3 for release in 2020.

Shame they didn't delay Mario Tennis. I know it has been patched since but I'd already sold my copy within a couple of months of getting the game. Single player was definitely lacking a lot (even some animations/sound effects).

Now if only they could be bothered to improve Mario Party. Although they might be waiting for Switch Mini so they have to add in Pro Controller support at same time.

Gremlins 2 on the NES was a great movie tie in.

Well these shops had pre-orders up about a week ago so no wonder they are sold out. £70 though is a bit steep when you can get the game for £39.95 from Simplygames.

I would love the book though but I will buy another game instead.

It could be set a few years after BOTW so that towns have been rebuilt. More characters to interact with. If just the same landscape we'd get bored quickly.

Or/and maybe a dark world too to shake things up.

Finished Galaxy 2 last week so I'm starting Skyward Sword today.

If I hadn't of sold BOTW I would probably be wandering around that version of Hyrule instead. Hyped for Sequel.

Just wondering if people on here mainly buy their physical games to keep or do you trade them in once completed?

I don't mind paying £40 as I do want to play it again (had original version on the GameBoy Colour). But when I know I'll get about £30 back once traded it is a no brainer.

If they are in production and possibly be replacing the older hardware Nintendo wouldn't announce it until near launch as they still need to sell their stockpile of the current model.

I still expect 1 to be very similar with just a shake up internally. I still don't understand the so-called Switch Mini as if Joycons can't be removed and it can't be docked then it is not a 'Switch'.

And moving some production from China most likely for the Units going to USA makes sense due to the heavy tarrifs on Chinese goods.
