Mario kart for £80, or a different game and some macdonalds happy meal gifts for $249!

@Uncle_Franklin I was also impressed with the way Nintendo tried to cut out the scalpers, and also show some loyalty. So rare for companies to act that way.

In some ways the switch is like an apple phone and the 'Deck' is like an Android.

But even though they might do some similar things overall they are not.

I already have shigsy, and Iwata and several other special characters. I seem to remeber getting a few 'special miis' back in the day.

@-wc- Your opinion and comments are always welcomed here, often accompanied with a smile too. Take care

@-wc- "OR: is this your way of saying "You should stop sharing your opinion because I've personally deemed it minoritarian and therefore offensive and tiresome."
As much as I agree that the comment in question could be construed in that way. I do agree with them that it is highly likely that people with dissent to the pricing will be more likely to make comment, if you are happy then there is hardly any need to comment that. I do note that there will also be many who don't like the price but don't choose to comment. I think only time will tell us the truth. I feel that we are doing the usual of listening too hard to the vocal people online, probably as there is no stats in order to confirm or deny. Even the initial sales won't paint a true picture, we will have to wait a year or two, or a pandemic or two, in order to get a full idea of how succesful the console is going to be.
I couldn't really give one either way, I will get mine and help Nintendo inflate their bank balance as I have been doing for many years!

@kedireturns Really you came to a Nintendo website to tell us all the great things about Sony. Thanks for your input

@JaxonH My comment has got me a few replies saying similar to you. And I assure you that I have my pre order in and hold hope that this will offer me that what I am looking for. I would point out that your suggestion that the mouse invention has never been used with a console before is right, but it certainly has been used for gaming and that is the same thing. I guess it more depends on what using two adds, or the way it seemlessly goes from mouse to normal controller. These things give me more hope that it will offer something new.
@link3710 I wasn't trying to say it's a direct copy, rather that 'Is it different enough'. Will it just feel like mouse controlls or will it feel new and different. I am still on the fence as to this, but do look forward to trying it and seeing what I think. My preorder is in and ready.

@OorWullie I have mine on pre order to see what I think, currently I feel a little underwhelmed with what I would usually expect from Nintendo. And I will buy the basketball game in order to give it go too.
@BTB20 I am keen to try any innovation that changes the way we play games, I wonder how different it will make the experience of using two instead of one. Maybe that brings something new. Althougth I only enjoyed seperating the joy cons in a few situations, they felt a disjointed in many ways.
@Friendly I am intriguided to give that a try, but at the moment I don't feel it's a massive innovation. Maybe trying it will change my mind.

I think he's right, the mouse thing is just copying what a PC offers. It's not new or innovative which is something they have always strived for in the past.

@Antraxx777 All the cost for sticking hairs up nostrils, waste of money. We didn't have this problem in the good ol days.

I don't want the increases really, but I almost expected it with how things are.

Now we just need Rockstar to let us know the price for GTA6 and then Nintendo will be in the clear again!

Looking for some clicks with this article!! Despite the fact it's obvious there is no writing to state an opinion. Maybe they are supportive of the developer and think what they said was true.

Kit, Krysta, Reggie. Your all history, good bye....

The way the interenet allows loud opinions to appear as the main stay of opinion is making this an issue, Yes. it is a bit more expensive, Shock!! Horrer!!! Outrage!! Have you not noticed that literally everything is more expensive right now.

@Ryu_Niiyama I did have a look at the american site and saw them described as ceramic. But as you can see classed differently on the UK site.
But I was more than happy with them, and I hope you will too.

@Ryu_Niiyama Here is a link to the one's I mean....
https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en/super-mario-family-life-collection-mario-plate-000000000010014448
They describe them as being melanmine resin, which is plastic but a superior version of that. If you have some official ceramic one's then let me know, I'd be very interested in them.

@Ryu_Niiyama Did you get those mario/luigi/ peach plates? I got them at christmas, there really nice. Even though they are plastic they still feel nice, and all the designs are good too. I actually displayed them, and bought an extra luigi one so I could use it.

You tube has bought so many good things to the world.

Game let me down on my Wii pre order which meant I had to sit in a 5hour long queue in Tesco to get one on release day.

@brumspurant I read your message earlier as I was in the same position as you. I passed all the criteria and hadn't been emailed wither, however I have just received emails for them.
You may have just received them too.

@PikminMarioKirby Yeah but it will be the best manual EVER...

The question of affordability is one, but the real question is 'Is it worth it for you?'. If its not then don't buy, no one is forcing anyone.

My 12 yr old son went and watched at the weekend, he is a big minecreft fan. He siad it's bears little resemblance to the game, but he really enjoyed it.

I've got N64 and Gamecube games with £50 price tags still on them. And with the current economic situation I am not surprised.

Me and my son noticed that the characters seem to be wearing different hats in the direst, and think this is going to be some kind of perk or somthing. We will see..

I’m very excited for a button!!!

We will c in a full hours what it is!

I can see a camera pan around the switch 2 logo and then dive straight into the c on the word and revealing what it does

Have they announced games already, or is this just a rumour and not news.

This would be perfect for some grinding games!!! (if it was real)

@XenoShaun @JohnnyMind Does that not apply to all different countries that mainly charts are dominated by the more popularist games? America will be Madden and other countries will be Fifa but overall games like GTA / red dead, mariokart, star wars, Hogwarts, minecraft probably all consistently appear in many countries charts.
Maybe we should ask NL to see if they can get them for a few countries so we could see the differences.

"Considering that these are the UK charts I'm not surprised at all."

I notice that this is the second week in a row that you referred in this way to the UK charts - What do you mean? (yes I m from the Uk so please don't go too hard on me. But please be honest too lol)

Chances are high that we will have more stories on this game....

@Ryu_Niiyama Is there a reason why it wouldn't happen? Is it some copyright thing or something?

Judging on how much Kid Icarus and Meteos scratched the DS screen it makes sense to leave them till now!

I thought that rumour was ludicrous, how wrong I was!

Yet another game made by the marketing department, with some involvement of the legal team to make sure they don't look too much like anything that will get them sued. This is what i call real people AI games.

@Ryu_Niiyama I can wait a week for real news thats for sure!!

"I'm done now"....
Yep the men in white coats have arrived!

The tagline had me thinking this was going to be good, then I saw it's a commitee/association, that thing where companies appear to care (like Zyph says, for marketing). But actually all they are doing is giving some money to some rich people so they can talk about stuff and get paid while nothing really happens.

Love the timer on the home page, building the excitement!

@martynstuff The overall consensus in our family was that they tasted bad!! But are they al the same flavour? I thought they could be different flavours? Discuss?

@LadyCharlie I agree both sides of this storey have some shaky grounds, however they are both playing to the laws that allow them to act in such a way. I tend to blame the law for allowing this type of behaviour.

There was similar day at Game Freek when they saw depictions of their charactors running around with guns.

@RootsGenoa Given this websites obsession with anything that requires you to hack your switch, I think your right

So it sounds as if it's like the steam deck, the hackers will love it!

I hope he feels lucky to be where he is, because most of us are selling our souls for a pittance!

The next posdcast they do should be 'How to stay relevant in 2025!'

Give it a few months and more people will think it's fair game as it's previous gen anyway!
