anyone know if To Be A Pokémon Master is gonna be available in UK ?

@Bolt_Strike so did they not make any tracks from scratch for BCP ? either the retro remade tracks or the apparently brand new tracks ?

physical Turok collection please

Absolutely ridiculous the number of studios that have been bought up by large companies and then either been shut down or produce nothing or very little 😡 what an absolute waste and sad crying shame 😢

Well of course It was very clear to see that the Mario Movie was one giant advert for all Mario games! 💪🤓 Bravo Nintendo, bravo

What did other people think of the Uncharted movie ? I thought it wasn't very good :/

Yayyyy ! Mario Red & Mario Blue ! Wohooo

@nukatha This is a worldwide release. @SwitchForce There will be no later Japanese release.

@SwitchForce These "base game + DLC" physical versions cost much more than the base games.

This is a similar situation to the recent Japan-only 'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Booster Course Pass' physical version which released before the final Wave of DLC, so will also require an update.

FYI: the listing for Metal Gear Solid on the Nintendo UK website lists Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake under where it says "[Title lineup]" 🧐 https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/METAL-GEAR-SOLID-Master-Collection-Version-2408318.html
Note: this is the listing for just Metal Gear Solid, not the whole collect Interesting -

"[Title lineup]

Metal Gear

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

Metal Gear Solid (Including VR Missions/Special Missions)

Regional versions of the titles are available as additional downloads.

[Digital book]

Metal Gear Solid: Screenplay Book

Metal Gear Solid: Master Book

Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2: Screenplay Book

Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2: Master Book

The digital books can be accessed from the game's main menu screen."

"Super Game" ??? So what was your recent Sonic game Sega? A "Don't Give A S**T Game" ?! 🤣

@Dragonslacker1 "Would love an all black switch lite with sticks and buttons black as well xx"

very close to that is the pokemon dialga & palkia edition. it is metallic grey colour, with black sticks and buttons

@sremick 2TB game cartridge ?????? 😵 Are you crazy!!???? Have you any idea how much that would cost ! 💀

@PJ301178 so could the SNES play Game Boy games with an official cartridge adapter, but that isn't backwards compatibility with the previous generation of home console. SNES would've needed to be BC with NES games, and GameCube would've needed to be BC with N64 games

@Bizzyb Nah, they wouldn't sabotage Switch holiday season sales

@IceEarthGuard but that's like just $2 CAD per month !? Anyhoo, I arranged a group online when NSO started and have maintained it since, it literally costs so little split 8 ways it's nothing 👍 Even NSO+

So, amazingly - only 2 Nintendo home console generations have had backwards compatibility

NES
SNES ❌
N64 ❌
GameCube ❌
Wii ✅
Wii U ✅
Switch ❌

@IceEarthGuard there's absolutely no chance of Online reverting to being free ! It is free for free games like Fortnite, Rocket League, etc.

But it is a relatively small price and allows Online play for all games, along with all the other benefits NSO brings. It's well worth it

Nintendo console generation backwards compatibility:

NES 🚫
Game Boy 🚫
SNES ❌
N64 ❌
Game Boy Advance ✅
GameCube ❌
DS ✅
Wii ✅
3DS ✅
Wii U ✅
Switch ❌

@LinktotheFuture I meant it's not a USA version, it's the exact same Japanese version (as this article explains) 👍

@Smug43 there is no USA version

@NintendoLife it's available again at Currys for £37.49 using the code on the product page

Spider-Man 2 scored 38

@Cero £37.49 to be precise pay via PayPal and you may see a £20 off promo for taking out PayPal Credit. But PayPal perform a hard credit check so consider this very wisely 🧐

@NintendoLife the Elephant Fruit Stress Ball is no longer happening GAME and Nintendo Store (UK) now have a Pin Set as the pre-order bunus and GAME also has an exclusive Poster (looks to be double-sided)

@thenikdavies FYI: TheGameCollection has Batman for £37.95 plus £10 Bonus Reward Points 💪 total 4379 points worth £10.94 back 🤑

@EaglyBird "trust me that Both Nintendo and Sony are winning next week" 🤫 🤣

I had to go find out what the Amazon deal was. Amazon UK had the Cosmic Edition at £19.99

@Lizuka wwfzelda.com damn. I guess that was in the US only, I don't think we got that in the UK

@Lizuka The Hardy Boyz !?? advertised Majora's Mask ???

Guys are you all absolutely crazy !? This is a T2 game ! OF COURSE it wouldn't all be on the cart !! 😂 Crazy to think there would ever be any possibility it could have been !

Wondering if the games will each have their own tile or all under 1 tile ?

Any indication whether the 3 games will be available individually on eShop ?

@Aelynn yeh I was watchin it all unfold on HotUKDeals It was crazy how many PS5 console deals were being posted!

GAME had Forspoken as one of the free game options with the console (£399.99), Saints Row was another one of the options. These were also included in their £299.99 console trade-in offer (£299.99 was the price when trading-in a PS4 Slim 500GB or Xbox One S 500GB/1TB. Other console trade-in prices varied).

Currys had Lego Star Wars for free with PS5 (£399), they also had + Forspoken for £409, or + Miles Morales for £419, or + Gran Turismo for £429. So that could perhaps be why those games are also in the chart.

@Aelynn it's because Forspoken was one of the free/bundled PS5 console + game options from multiple retailers during the promotion.

@BenMCR as far as I know Nintendo still don't reveal eShop sales numbers, so they're not included in these charts.

@Tyranexx Yes it is a shame. Made it even more limited I suppose ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

@Tyranexx yes the Pokémon Sword / Shield + Expansion Pass physical release was a limited time release. Like the Breath of the Wild + Expansion Pass physical release (which I believe was only released in Japan)

@Bunkerneath ❌ WRONG. Two of the games are on the GTA Trilogy cartridge

@RudyC3 "afford" !? ahahahahahahaha 😂 "surely they could afford a 16GB card to ship the game on this time!" You serious!?? 🤣 They could AFFORD to ship it on solid gold, diamond encrusted carts!! It's nothing to do with what they could afford. It's everything to do with what they can save! Do you have any idea how rich Take Two is !? 🤯

As far as I can think, all of Take Two's physical Switch games have required additional download. It's all about profit they don't care about anything else

@RiasGremory GTA Trilogy physical did not release at the same time as digital. Red Dead Redemption physical similarly releasing October

What about the type screen people were reporting/talking about a while ago made by Panasonic was it ? (I'm sure the name of the company began with a P)

It was said to be a better screen technology, but still LCD if I remember correctly

*Update: Ah I think the report I was thinking if was the Sharp IGZO screen https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/08/new_switch_models_to_reportedly_benefit_from_sharps_energy_efficient_igzo_displays

@chagrined "It has the corrogated cardboard edge pattern on the sides of the joycons as well (where they touch the console)" Ah. Nice

The cardboard effect looks cool on the back and sides of the dock, but I don't think the console or joy-con have it? So it just looks a gross plain light-brown colour 🤢 No thanks

@Enigk @UmbreonsPapa @_fatto_katto_ Everyone asking why the Joy-Con would be designed like that, just take a moment to think about it please, then you will realise that it would enable the controls to be centered for individual (horizontal) use 🧐

@wiiware the offer here is from a UK retailer, and as far as I know they only accept GBP.

A slightly better price is available from another key reseller cdkeys.com and they accept many currencies (cdkeys is actually a US company)

@jsty3105 don't need to create a new account, can just change your account country to redeem https://accounts.nintendo.com/profile/edit @wiiware

@step_over 🫡

CDKeys also has these similar prices.

No indication whatsoever that this is a limited time discount ?

Standard NSO has continually been available from these retailers at a good discount

@Skunkfish oh don't mention gig tickets. Someone close to me had been saying how much they want to see Foo Fighters live, I heard tickets were about to go on sale in a couple of days and sent them the link to the official site to buy tickets when they go on sale, for some reason (not the most internet savvy person) they just googled it and ended up on a resellers site where they paid over double the price 🤬

@NintendoWife Well a complete reset makes the most business sense doesn't it 👀

Upgrade previously released games to make use of new hardware's features, and resell.

Full backwards compatibility and purchase library retention would of course be nice, but they aren't obligated to provide that. Though I imagine it would generate quite a backlash if they didn't.

Seeing as they've made their Virtual Console games into a subscription service, that should be fairly easy to carry forward I would think.

@Skunkfish Sorry about my comment yesterday. It's just how I felt since they have always sold out so quickly once news of stock spread. Of course it being shared on a Nintendo fansite is very likely the best place to share it, I shouldn't have been negative. Sorry
