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.

The thing is...
If released on Xbox it wouldn't sell well. And would likely be an Xbox exclusive if developed by Rare. Which is unlikely now as Nuts and Bolts was badly received.

Microsoft just need to release Rare Replay on Switch really. Surely it doesn't need to be an exclusive anymore as has been out a few years.

Just repackage it as the Nintendo edition so it has games upto the Cube. And maybe Nintendo can help so we get their owned IP/Rare developed game like DK64 as well.

Nice interview.

Lovely to see it in HD. If not an October release I hope it comes in December rather than miss this year.

Only 4 you can't pre-order yet in the UK, then the 5 dlc characters. Finally. The end is near.

I just completed Galaxy 2 on disc via my Wii U. 9 years since I bought it. Better late than never. I intend to finish off the rest of my Wii and Wii U games inbetween playing Switch stuff.

I'm a bit hyped but not expecting much.

Apart from what we know of if they just stick to 2019 release window...

Retro Studios Secret Game. DK 3D?
Metroid Prime Trilogy HD.
Rare Replay Nintendo Edition.
Pikmin 4
Super Mario Party Free DLC featuring more boards and characters.
SNES for Online Service officially announced to launch in September.

And at end a quick teaser for something coming in 2020. Maybe Odyssey 2.

Currently playing Super Mario Galaxy 2. Should finish it today in fact.

That's 5 mins of the 40 min direct then as they'll probably show some Smash amiibos too.

I just want a few surprises.

Double Dragon 2 is a great game and one of my favourites I had on cartridge back in 1991. Yikes.

I expect the launch of SNES games to be in September on the Anniversary of the Online service.

@Poloscen89 Looks like we have a new Troll in town. And yes they are a ****!

Although I would love MK9 I doubt we'll see it on Switch. Could be a launch game for the Switch 2 in 2022 though.

@ricardosteve Japan's

Looking forward to playing the real Ghostbusters 3. Nostalgia overload.

As I've said before it was pretty obvious by the lack of full Amiibo use in Yoshi's Crafted World that they are coming to the end of their lifecycle to 'unlock' stuff in games.

Once the Smash line up is complete that will be it for the figures. They do look good on my shelf though.

And as usual Nintendo don't owe us anything. People need to stop thinking they do.

It's a great book. Looking forward to the SNES one next.

I want the Mario+Rabbids one changed. Although it is the box art, Mario's nose is just wrong.

We definitely need custom folders. I'd like to put my completed games in one for example.

@RadioHedgeFund I imagine like Yoshi's Crafted World there will be very little Amiibo support. It does seem like Nintendo are winding down to the end of the craze now. Once all Smash amiibo are out that will be it I think.

Does anyone know who 73 and 75 will be?
This is the first time they have skipped numbers on release.

I still want Mario Kart 9 on Switch but doubt it is coming with mk8d still selling well. I would welcome dlc tracks but again doubt it as it is the 'deluxe' version of the game already.

As for more Odyssey or BOTW content Labo VR will be it. Hoping we get another 3D Mario and Zelda on the Switch though.

Odd really. I didn't play Let's Go in TV mode because they wouldn't let me play it my way with the Pro Controller. So stuck to handheld.

This one will have to be something drastically different to get me to play a Pokemon game again. And have Pro controller support.

If the UK limited edition one with the free 1 year Switch Online Subscription is the same price as the regular it would be a good deal.

This appeared on the Switch news feed about 2 weeks ago.

The first Yoshi's Island is the best. Never should have been called Super Mario World 2 mind. Think that was done to try and shift more copies as Nintendo's last main SNES game.

I only collect the Smash ones so once they are all out that is me done with Amiibos. I do display them though and that is why I have carried on. Spent far too much but gave me something to buy during the quiet Wii U times.

I actually think Nintendo will stop making Amiibos soon and move on anyway as only a few did basic things in Yoshi's Crafted World.

@TheFanatic I got same emails. I was hoping to sell 9 on.

If it does happen they will announce the next 3 Smash amiibos. Joker DLC available after direct and maybe more about Mario Maker. Animal Crossing will be revealed properly at E3.

Does anyone know what money Nintendo gains from this?

I hope it isn't true as this will just confuse the general public and the Switch is still selling well after 2 years. The marketing is perfect so far.

I can see them updating the units internally which reduces costs etc... But I'd rather they wait til Switch 2 to improve the rest in a few years. At least see what PS5 and the next XBox bring before updating the hardware.

@GameOtaku

So you would rather buy the games again everytime there is a new Nintendo console til the end of time at say £3 a game? Rather than pay £18 for the year just so you 'own' them.

Does anyone know if the Bluray is Region Free?

It is available on Amazon US and UK but very pricey.

Detective Pikachu: The Movie Game?

Gotta be Generation 8.

Fun way to play? Please let it be with the Pro Controller this time.

Day 1 for me and I'm 39 and already love this so-called 'Baybyish' Game. And yes it was easy but the demo was most likely level 1 of the game. Yoshi games do get harder as you progress. The only home console Yoshi game I have ever been disappointed with was Yoshi's Story on N64 but there was very little to collect in it and had no challenge at all.

A bit of fun on Brexit Day! Hurrah.

I don't want a Switch mini and hope it doesn't materialise. If it has no dock so you can't play on TV, Joycons that are fused to the system so no table top play, then it isn't a Nintendo Switch and confuses the new sales audience once again.

Now a Switch without the dock that is advertised as a second system to compliment a household that already has a Switch and a dock is fine by me. Japan has it. Why not global for that?

@jtmnm I got my code a few weeks later. It was the same when I subscribed to the online service. Took a good few weeks to get the Splatoon outfits code.

I still want MK9 on Switch. But they might well hold off for Switch 2 unfortunately.

@Evilworm Are you 10 years old?
