@nathatruc DD1 has been available for under £5 on sale on the eshop, so I'm banking on DD2 seeing some healthy reductions over time too. Can still be excited for something I might not realistically get for 2+ years. Not like I don't have a backlog...

Made a start on Star Wars: Outlaws recently and would like to progress, but am feeling the pull of Metroid and so, while I would like to revisit Dread, I should return to my first crack at Metroid Prime 4.

I did pick up Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, but have a bit of the ol' Fire Emblem backlog and don't want to indulge on the newest game when I've got others waiting ahead of it. I mean, I do, I totally do, but I don't.

Peace, love, backlogs and pixels to all ✌🏼❤️📝🕹️ xxx

Shucks... pretty torn now. Does indeed appear irresistible, but the comments about the repetitive nature give me pause. To the demo I must go!

I don't know anything about this game, but I'm down for the general concept, right up my street.

Very delivered my Nintendo Switch to me during the day on March 3rd 2017, and for that memory I will always be Very grateful.

Sucks to get orders cancelled though.

@Chrono120 It's the combination of the challenge to perfect your performance, blended with the fun in the music and supporting sound and visual effects. It's a beautiful purification of the sound-light-input-output dynamic in video games. It's the GOTY.

WHO was the scumbag publisher!?!? Name them! Burn them! (Figuratively, not literally, kids)

Can we kickstart the project? Defibrillate it?

Maybe Heart Machine can at least now revisit the wisdom of releasing games without a Nintendo Switch/2 version.

Zelda's been done over in this Switch 2 version by the way the headress thing is so much lower on her head, covering too much of her forehead compared to N64 Zelda. Raise that up and I think you'll find they look pretty similar.

Haven't delved into the full review, but those cons don't strike me as enough to knock it down to an 8. Sounds like it was just too much for the reviewer on this occasion but on another week they might give it a 9.

"Too much of a good thing" can be condensed down to "Too good".

Do we have our new "Too much water"?

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave - 8/10 Too good - NintendoLife

This should have been Yo-kai Watch 4. No excuse.

Kinda bizarre trailer. Seems to focus on the neon aesthetic and chill music, at the expense of gameplay. Just 'Here's a view of a dolphin's rear while it swims sedately in a straight line' over and over while the background changes.

These 'no consequences' open world driving experiences get kinda boring for me pretty quick. They need to be integrated into larger games, like Grand Theft Auto.

Do we know if these three were in talks for Top Gear or Grand Tour?

Shocking divide here at the time of placing my vote: 83% in favour of the Eur/Jap art.

Let me be clear. I don't love either of them, but the Eur/Jap art just looks an abstract mess to me and is ugly to boot.

The NA art is rather tame, but it wins my vote by not being an ugly mess.

What do you think I'm playing?! We're in a post-2020 world, so I'm playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, of course!

I also said, "Yes, thank you" to a £15 eBay coupon this week to pick up a copy of Oblivion Remastered for Switch 2, so that'll need spinning up for test run, at least.

Peace, love, island reconstruction & pixels to all ✌️ ❤️👷🏼‍♀️ 🕹️ xxx

@Thief Have you never seen a multi-disc game before?

Every time I come to this weekly article, I leave with a slightly stronger sense that I should live in Japan 😍

OMG. Remember the relentless moaning that Nintendo wouldn't enable SNES games for 3DS...

Quite the mixed bag. I wonder if there's a demo.

These co-op adventures tend to get over-hyped, probably due to the shortage of good co-op fare nowadays, so the mixed reception on display here is unsurprising but a little disappointing given the hype.

The siliconera review is interesting.

The positive notes on the audio design are what's going to seal the deal for me.

As an og owner of the Switch version, anything is gonna be an upgrade, and it's free so, unlike the whinetastic 60fps ponies of the world, I'm happy.

Thank Shigeru that this is a game key card release because I don't have the time to play Witcher 3, Star Wars Outlaws, Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring all at once.

Basically Burnout Paradise in a taxi, by the looks of it.

All you numpties accusing the Yoshi at Mario's House set of being dull need to pay more attention... CAN'T YOU SEE THAT ****ING SLIDE! Woohoo!

@Munchlax Definite case of Nipplegate going on here 🧐

@MatthewTaranto Funny you say that about the music, 'cos the music is one of the reasons I love playing it 😝

CDProjekt staying true. Gotta love them, baby 😘✌️

Please spare a thought for us poor sods that kinda like Mega Man 11...

Picked up Absolum this week as been wanting to check it out. I'm usually mid with beat 'em up games, but my first impression of this one is that it is a bit special. It's like if Golden Axe had a baby with Dead Cells. The rogue elements make it that bit more compelling to try over with than a bog-standard beat 'em up (where I often try one run, suck, then switch to another game). And a good bit of effort has been put into the design and presentation too.

Also going to be pushing on with Splatoon Raiders, Rhythm Paradise Groove and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Bug Off baby, LET'S GO!!1!), and who knows what else this weekend, 'cos I'm really feeling it!

Peace, love and pixels to all ✌️❤️🕹️ xxx

This is sea-weedt news indeed if you own the game and a Switch 2.

I appreciate Pokopia has been out a little while longer, but it's nice to see the fully physical releases above it giving it a bit of a spanking. Time to release the full physical version of Pokopia.

@LXP8 I bought a Switch 2 yesterday for £80. Then saw another 4 listings for similar Switch 2 bundles at the same price. All listed by first-time sellers with gobbledegook names. I'm sure it'll be fine 😆

Sorry, my purchase is locked behind an offline connection.

I don't think I've seen any footage of this game showing that the world is ever in 'daytime'. Is it always dark?

It's just more of the good ol' viral marketing strategy. Put out something that's absolute dog dirt to begin with, get everyone's attention, then miraculously clean up the dog dirt before release.

We couldn't save the cheerleader... 😥

What an interesting update. I'm going to take that as evidence of their ongoing commitment to making the series the best they can, which is tremendous to see.

@MamaSymphonia When filtering the games on the Curry's website, there's more Nintendo platform games than Playstation, fwiw.

I'll be real wit' chu...

This video and the comments are twisting my arm.

It's still £10-15 too expensive, but I'm feeling prepared to pay more for it than I previously was.

One of the toughest yet. Pink, yellow, orange... they all speak to me.

Europe has to score points for using yellow, which is Wario's colour but, when it came time to pick, my finger fell on the pink of North America. One where the heart ruleth over the head, I guess.

Played a lot of Animal Crossing: New Horizons while on holiday so the temptation is there to just carry on with that. Finally tidied up ol' Ile de Granola to receive its frankly unjustified ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating, but there's a lot more for me to do. Such a great game to have on holiday with me.

But I'm also going to continue my Splatoon resurgence with some Raiders and 3 splaction.

Peace, love, improved inventory self-management and pixels to all ✌🏼❤️🌴🕹️ xxx

I'm all for supporting full physical releases, but with the amount of comments I'm seeing about load times and failure to address the 20-year old issues this game has, I won't be spending £50-60 on it. Microsoft and modern Bethesda don't deserve it.

There are many people who truly want to believe that TES VI will deliver, and Xbox will milk that hope for everything they can get.

TES VI: Disappoi

What's not to like? Nice work, FanGamer. Just wish I could get into this game more. I will do one day, I'm sure of it, but it hasn't happened for me yet. Need to try Game Share with my kids.

Interesting design. Can't say I like the dock very much, from first viewing at least. The central Triforce looks nice but the asymmetric pattern around it is putting me off. I seem to like the green on the controllers though.

Can't tell if there's any design on the rear of the tablet. That could be the deciding factor for me. Otherwise I'll probably pass until I can find it a bit cheaper down the line.

@Tyranexx I have AM2R buried on a mothballed pc if you ever want it.

@rekameohs 🤦🏼‍♂️ Egg on face pour moi. Been a while since I've played it and got shafted by a quick Google search.

Not got a Windows machine to hand currently but I'm interested to see what this is like. 8-bit is a bit of a disappointment though, and the 'grapple beam from the outset' makes me question the developer's commitment to 1:1 matching the 3D experience.

But just the idea of it begs the question, how far has Nintendo ever gone in considering doing something similar officially?
