@Ryu_Niiyama Here is a link to the one's I mean....

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!

@moreDKplz They are very expensive but they are also very nice quality statues from F4F. And I have a few that I bought on release many years ago and they all now sell for several times the price I paid for them. So if really wanted one to enjoy for a few years you could probably sell it on and get your money back.

@Princess_Lilly I still have a promotional postcard with the slogan. Crazy to think they would advertise a game in such a way, I imagine people would think this was how things were in those times but it was even banned then.

Willst thou get the girl..... or play like one!

I understand your thinking, but would you steal a retro game from the shop? Also if I want to experience an old game then the only real way to do that is on the original hardware.

If you actually care for the workers within the industry you would support Nintendo for taking these types of things down. Because I don't see enough support for this, if AI makes something Nintendo related it will be slated, if a fan (so called) makes something then i gets love. If someone hacks their system for modding it's fine, even though it also opens the door to running illegal copies of games. In many eyes your not okay to pirate new software but not a problem with no clear divined line between what is or isn't old.
When the real ramifications of this are that we will get more AI creating games, there will be more job losses, and the any costs invovled in dealing with it all get pushed onto consumers.

@tobsesta99 I can't deny you got me! But only because I like for all opinions to be allowed, no one has to agree with your opinion but we should be allowed one. Respect to you, have a good day.

@tobsesta99 Looks like you were right!

I am sure their are laws and procedures on how this company should deal with their complaint, telling me about isn't going to change anything.
But if the copy is cheaper then I know which one to buy.

@SquawkingTurtle You do you sir.

@solarwolf07 I never said anything was illegal.

Your tagline - Come on Nintendo, make it happen

My tagline - Come on Nintendo, take it down

I am pleased they are shutting it down, I have never liked it and it gives me a little hope they will favour the rewards rather than paltry discounts. Bring back Nintendo VIP!!

Absolutely fine with this, poor system for collecting rewards that never amounted to much anyway. Fingers crosed this will be a change to something different, hopefully more along the lines of exclusive gifts rather than 68p off your purchase.

I bought Civ 7 and I know there are compromises for the switch version and it is slow in loading in the map at the start of the game and in the changing of ages. However the 'this will be good for switch 2' does not apply, it's fine on the switch 1.

Do you have to click the link on the email? Beware....

@Toastmaster I seem to remember commenting about wanting a new controller for the switch 2 when we had the initial 'what do you want from switch 2' articles. It's the cross platform games that seem to have ruined the dreams of innovative controllers, developers don't want to have to do the work to more than one controll style. I always felt that was the big issue with the Wiiu, EA and the others initially wanted to support the new console but ran a mile when they saw the controller. Thus making nintendo think we've dropped a ball here and gave up on it themselves too, then just dragged it along a bit to save face and recoup some money. Personally I loved that controller and the ideas like they had in Nintendoland. But here we are with a (what's looking like) small upgrade for the switch 2, the main reason I don't bother with the other consoles is because in the past I have trusted Nintendo to innovate rather than scam small upgrades on consumers.
I do remember Steel Batalion and that huge controller, read a bit about it at the time, but no Xbox and not so interested in mech games. And I seem to remeber it took several button presses just to move the mech around, so complicated but I loved the idea at the time.
Should we get a innovative surprise for switch 2 then I will be sure to message you to see what you think.

@Toastmaster I'll take a stupid waggle controller or something that only gets used on a few select games I dont mind that!!!

Even at 52 I play computer games every day and had expected that would be the case until I die. But this regurgitation does make it harder for me to find experiences that grab me nowadays. I'm even warming to these live service games that at least try and change things up to keep customer retention. But overall I'm not sure if boredom or arthritus will bring an end to my gaming.
