Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?

Just finished the loooooong chapter 4 in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Gonna put a few more hours into the game this easter holiday and maybe I will manage to finish it before the summer. Spicing things up with some splatting and moon hunting too this weekend. Might try out Arms again as well, but I have enough multiplayer fun on my Switch with Splatoon 2, so Arms has never been considered for purchase. Not even Rocket League. Maybe Fortnite if that eventually comes...

Played Snipperclips with my wife last night and we had a fun gaming time together. She is not a gamer and hasn't played much since the Wii waggling days, but this was something she too enjoyed. Happy about that Was on the winning side of a Splatfest for once as well Trying to finish up the single player in Splatoon 2 (too)! Quite similar too the first games campaign. Looking forward to the Octo DLC!

Re: Surprise! There's A New Nintendo Direct Coming, And It's Due Tomorrow

Since they specifically said that there will be more details about Aces (and I'm looking forward to that) I don't think they will show much more first party. There will hopefully be a release date for Wolfenstein 2 and I'll guess Diablo 3 will be announced. Keeping my expectations low this time, but as always I'll hope for a GTA V port! Make it happen R*!!

Re: New RiME Patch Addresses A Multitude Of Sins On Switch

The update seem to have worked well. I was about half way through before the update and had to play in docked mode as handheld was a framerate mess. But after the update I played about an hour in handheld mode and it ran like it should have from release, very smooth

Re: Nintendo Direct Mini Is Happening Right Now

icebear80

For a Direct Mini that was good, but for all the hype leading up to this I guess it was a bit disappointing for many. I loved Mario Tennis on 3DS, and Aces looks similar gameplaywise and with a story mode it should be something to look forward too. The DLC for both Kingdom Battle and Odyssey looks fun and cool too. I won't buy Hyrule Warriors again and not DKC Tropical Freeze for the easier gamemode. Great games but played those enough on the Wii U. As Dark Souls most likely isn't my type of game, I'm only a bit disappointed that GTA V wasn't announced this time either... There is no lack of good games coming the next few months though!!

@BAN If it's not so, why all these reactions? Because like this old cartoon shows, its not something very surprising coming from the Japanese culture. I bet Nintendo might show of Peachs underwear in Odyssey if they find a reason Well I'm not stupid enough to think all Americans are influenced by the Utah cult, but something is making people "enjoy" something normal unnormally much in my honest opinion.

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th October (Europe)

I guess Stardew is the game to get as I never tried it before. Played Axiom on Wii U, but might get it again on the Switch at a later date. Awsome game! But seeing this list I want all the Box Boy games on Switch!

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch and Third-Parties - Let's Be Realistic

icebear80

Under a week until we finally get another FIFA on a Nintendo console. Looking forward to it, but I wonder how it will be with online matches, the FUT marked and other things that need quite a large userbase to feel like the experience on other consoles. My experiences with third party games on Nintendo consoles and online play is that it dies off fast :/ It seem the development team has made a good effort with this game, in a different and hopefully better way than 2K, so I hope we will support it and EA to continue supporting the Switch!

Re: FIFA 18 Will Cost Less On The Nintendo Switch In Australia

icebear80

Most retailers in Norway also list the Switch game cheaper than the other versions, but the difference is less than the cost of a coke! Well, at least it's not more expensive... and its FIFA 18 on the go! and with Ultimate Team! I remember having paid full price for the 3DS "legacy edition" of FIFA 14. That was a rip-off in comparison.

Re: FIFA 18 Will Cost Less On The Nintendo Switch In Australia

Waiting patiently for this one. I'm also a bit bummed that there is no demo on the Switch like for the other consoles and pc I would like to know the file size, as I haven't decided if this will be my first physical game for the Switch... It will be if it's more than 20+ GB. So far it has been ok to go digital download only on the Switch, but there seem to be some potentially big games coming and I'm already down to about 70 GB on my 128 micro SD card! I hope Nintendo are teaching these companies about compression

Re: Here’s What the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Day One Update Does

icebear80

For those who got it digitally the update was included in the download, right? At least I know I got the language selection at the launch screen. The only issues I have noticed is that the game occasionally freezes for a quite short period (2-3 seconds) in docked mode. In handheld I haven't experienced any of that, but taking the game from docked mode to handheld made the fan turn up to max capacity for a short while...

Re: Video: Gamescom 2017 Gives Us Our Best Look At Switch FIFA 18 Yet

As a football fan I would most probably have bought it anyway, but the fact that it has FUT makes it a must buy. I see that they list FUT squad building challenges, but I really hope it will include the FUT squad battles, where you can play others FUT teams on varying difficulties offline as long as you have been connected to get updates. Would be a very nice way to enjoy FUT on the go!
