I just got Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, Ghosts of Tsushima on PS4 and Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity on Switch and I honestly don't know which one to start first! 🤔
To say we have just entered a new generation, Nintendo UK/Europe must be feeling pretty good that they have nearly half of the UK chart for Christmas. Especially as the UK has never really been their biggest market
1) Smash Bros (I beat the Sephiroth Challenge on very hard yesterday, so I look forward to trying him out) 2) Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble 3) Among Us (Wanna see what the fuss is about) 4) Horace (Been meaning to get this forca while now and at that price, I have no excuses)
Not gonna lie, when I saw the picture of Doc Louis, my immediate thought was 'Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!' was finally coming to Europe, but on the Switch instead of the Wii. 🤣
Doom Eternal on Xbox One and PS4 is currently £16.99 on Amazon for a physical copy. That copy also nets you a next gen upgrade. Doom Eternal on Switch is currently £49.99 on the eshop for a digital only copy. That copy doesn't net you a next gen upgrade. I don't like telling people how to spend their money, but......y'know.
Anybody wondering what the quality of these are like, they're "medium density fibre wood with a cork back" apparently, so at least we know they won't be paper thin 😄👍
On one hand, Nintendo have no one but themselves to blame for charging 50 quid for a port of a 7 year old Wii U game, in which the series already has a niche audience. On the other hand, this is a real shame, because you can't help but wonder what the future holds for the series.
Whilst I'm really happy to see games such as Control hit Switch, as a physical gamer, I probably won't play this and just stick to the PS4 or Xbox One versions. Still, having third party support such as this is really awesome and I'm glad Nintendo are getting the support
@AJDarkstar People need to stop buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe first. That game is constantly in the UK top 10, so whilst it sells like hotcakes, Nintendo won't have any reason to release a 9
Gone back to Animal Crossing lately. With the recent October update, the Halloween themed items have given me the incentive I needed to jump back on.
Recently downloaded Resident Evil 5 in the sale, so im playing that too. I needed a new playthrough as its been a fair few years and whilst its not true Resident Evil, in its own right, its quite a good game.
If I have any time spare, then I might have a couple of rounds of Super Mario 35 to cap it all off! 😄👍
I'm not in the slightest bit interested in Minecraft, but there is no denying, this is a huge addition. I expect kids and die hards will be wanting Ultimate just to play as Steve. Very smart move from Nintendo and Microsoft
Finally found a copy of Taiko No Tatsujin Drum n Fun on Switch with the drum controller (Argos for those interested), so im gonna be playing that and I've just picked up Eledees on the Wii for a rather nice price of £2.50, so gonna try and get some time on that too
You know why Ring Fit Adventure beat Avengers to number 1? Because the Japanese are smart enough to not allow microtransaction filled nonsense to do so!
Nintendo would do wise to add the original titles on their online service for a new generation of fans to play and to encourage sales for the new title. I'm sure Natsume wouldn't object to that
@jump Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct Gold were 2 incredible fighting games that whilst they got the praise they deserved, were massively overshadowed by the likes of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat
With owning Doom, 2, 3, 64 and 2016 all on Switch, it feels right to get Eternal on Switch, but if its getting free upgrades for next gen systems, then I may as well pick it up in a sale for PS4 instead of waiting for the £50 Switch release.
So far, I've managed to get every theme except for the Luigi's Mansion 3 one as my Switch was in for repair when that Maximus Cup was running. It's always annoyed me that there's that gap in between the themes I've unlocked. Finally, I can finish the collection
I literally tweeted about this only a few days ago, wondering where the English translation was and how I would remain optimistic that it would come. This has made me so happy. Any diehard Nintendo fan should definitely pick this up.
Honestly cannot recommend the Mega Drive/Genesis Mini enough and for that price, people should be snapping them up. The amount of games , both first and third party is decent, including a couple of never released outside Japan titles. The emulation is spot on (thanks to M2, I believe) and the overall quality is nothing short of fantastic. Personally, for me, this rivals the SNES for the king of the minis titles. The cable length on the controller is definitely the one superior thing over the SNES Mini. Seriously though, if you've been holding out buying one of these, now really is the perfect time to do so.
Yet to recieve my copy and I live in the UK. Luckily, tomorrow is pay day and as much as the customs charge has irritated me somewhat, at least I can somewhat prepare for it now. Thanks Nintendo Life. If this has taught me anything, it's to read the small print before supporting Kickstarter projects. I have no one to blame other than myself
Gonna be focusing on The Last of Us Part 2 and also gonna be dipping into Ninjala to see if that's any good. Animal Crossing is having a break at the moment after sinking in so many hours, but I'll probably return to it when the update releases
My girlfriend bought me those exact red Mario Hanafuda cards for my birthday last year. She imported them from Japan and she said she didnt pay that for them. If you want them, I suggest Ebay! 😄👌
This is a nice little bonus. People sticking their noses up need to remember that this isnt a game in a traditional sense, it's just something to help you get a little exercise whilst you're stuck indoors all day during the lockdown. I think it's a nice thing to do and at the same time, a very Nintendo thing to do.
The fact that this is UK based is fantastic. I've been subscribing to Nintendo Force for a few years now and with the fact that it is American based tends to mean the shipping can be a little pricey and I tend to recieve it quite late. Not really looked into Switch Player and not heard much about it in terms of quality. I'll definitely be looking into this for sure!
It truly amazes me that 3 years in and the eshop is still so basic. With the amount of games on there now, a complete overhaul is what's needed. Too many developers will likely not have there games get the recognition they really deserve because they're never given enough of a spotlight. A user rating is desperately needed for starters.
Coming from someone who's favourite game is Lylat Wars/StarFox 64, that was absolutely incredible. If that was real, I would day one buy it. Something like this is just what the series needs after the very poor StarFox Zero. I hope Nintendo are paying attention to this!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 19th)
