It's a fun enough game but I found the joke wore off a bit too quick.

If I'm right in thinking, there is no dedicated servers. So what the hell am I paying for?
Rubbish voice chat
Not every game is cloud saved
Some retro games I care not for or already played to death
Some discounts

Long live 3/2DS!

So if achievements do come to Nintendo games does that mean they are a wonderful thing now?

@Switch_will_fail the 'worst' game in the series is still miles better than many games.

@Supadav03 I own an Xbox and Switch, I've noticed many games cost more on switch which is why I buy 99% on Xbox when I have the option.

Oh this is going to be good.
(Gets comfy)

There's some toys being thrown out the pram over this.

@Nincompoop I'd rather play No man's sky.

@Heavyarms55 Well it was popular.

So much meh on offer.

@gortsi oooooooooooooh get you with your witty retorts.

@gortsi keep spinning.

THQ Nordic "we are huge fans of Nintendo, however there is no current plans to release Timespltters on Switch"

Yeah, thought it might have been more.

@retro_player_22 but that's their job, to be picky (read analytical)

Ah the old game isn't coming to a Nintendo system, don't care, rubbish game, nobody wanted it blah blah nonsense.
Some people here never fail to keep me entertained.

Please, don't send Anti-Matter off on one!

Switch tax in effect as it appears to be cheaper on Xbox.

@Equinox silly, silly boy.

Ignore the score and get the game, it's great. Played it to death on my PS4

There's a certain place where you can stick your subscription, Nintendo.

I quickly became bored of Hollow knight.
It's art style is stunning though.

@GameOtaku if it's not going to break these companies, why don't Nintendo provide cheaper carts to these indie devs? Nintendo decided on using this medium and can certainly take the hit more than small studios.

No, I think it may have been copious amounts of money offered.

Playing it now on my Xbox thanks to game pass.
Absolutely brutal, does not hold your hand. Brilliant!

I'll take a guess with Animal crossing, with it's own direct about a month before release.

Tonight on the twilight zone.

Nintendo fans rush out to buy a game featuring an ex PlayStation mascot.

Did not cheat or hack the game. All's fair in love and online gaming.

Looking forward to dead cells.

Looks great for a handheld game and Panic button really should be commended. Not so sure on the big screen though might look a bit muddy.

Can some fan boys clear something up for me though. A few here have said the frame rate doesn't matter, but then I hear others on this site say frame rate over graphics. Is this just a phrase some like to throw about to validate their particular argument at the time?

Lego Mario.

@Ensemen well fanboys seem to think he can influence the universe. Look at the reactions to his Botw review 🤣

It takes talent to talk so much and say nothing.

Well Jim Sterling has a jimquisition ready all about Waluigi.
I think they'll continue to ignore Waluigi just to troll Jim 😂😂

That price though 😬
De Blob 2 is on Xbox game pass so I'm sorted.

@Anti-Matter I'm interested in knowing why you prefer this, does it make the game better?

@Haywired fair point. I used to collect too, games, books music etc but there's a real sense of freedom when I went mainly digital.
Although I do live by a lot of Buddhist principles so reducing many physical things in my life does not bother me too much now.

@Ludovsky "Problem is... what do you do once you release a 100% digital games console... and retailers suddenly do not have any games to sell anymore?"
Over the years dedicated game shops have been focusing more and more on merchandise as much as games, digital has already had an impact. Perhaps retailers need to learn how to adapt. Although I'm no expert in running a retail business.

I think Microsoft is introducing the public to the idea the best with game pass and I think they will be the first to introduce an Xbox without a physical drive. Phil Spencer did mention futures Xbox consoles in plural, so I think one of those could be a digital only device at a cheaper price.

@Haywired can I ask why? It's still the same game.
Don't get me wrong, I used to love collecting but I can never understand why some feel it diminishes their experience.

Of course the future is digital. I'm about 90% digital anyway.
I suppose physical is fine if you like to sit and stare at your collection for some sense of purpose or to feel smug, but I just want to play the games.
Collection for historical purposes is a different matter though.

@Spudworthy the funny thing is, Sterling is a huge Nintendo fan but just won't give them a free pass because they're Nintendo. Which I wholeheartedly endorse.

Jim Sterling was raving about it a while back, so Nintendo fan boys will hate it by default 😁

I certainly won't be googling 'joy boy'

@ThanosReXXX hang on, so you are quite happy for disabled gamers to miss out on a game when it would be simple to add button pressed??

@kobashi100 smash on 3DS sold 9.24 million ( as of March 18, from the smash wiki)
Nintendo sold around 72.53 million units (according to Wikipedia)
Smash sold 5.34 million copies on Wii U
Wii U sold around 13.56 million units (same sources as 3DS)
So it would suggest to me that Smash fans may already own the relevant Nintendo console when Smash is released.
All pure armchair speculation of course and no scientific research involved

@T-Donor66 so you say nobody wanted Wii U, yet you say smash helped bring in the other consoles in to people's homes. So if smash is that much of a system seller it would of sold Wii U's
You say Wii U was a piece of FLUFF, your opinion, but using your opinion as fact is ignorant.

@nolil is this comment a puzzle to solve?

@youkoaoshi always been my thought too. People seem to think that smash will sell millions more Switches, if that was the case Wii U would have been a huge success.

Well that direct was....... Underwhelming.
