Re: Feature: From BOTW To TOTK - How The Switch Helped Me Overcome Mental Illness And Thrive

For me personally, I think what games do is take you back to a time where you didn't really have a care in the world. Mario games take me back to the mid 80s where I was 14/15 years old and didn't have any worries as life was far simpler back then in lots of ways. So when I fire up mario now, I am transported to that time and place psychology and being an adult with all the stresses of modern day life just drift away like my pro-controller after 6 years of use. Reminds me, I need to get a new controller.

Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?

I feel the switch 2 will either be my last console or penultimate one as the game prices are getting too high, I have played all new games already in some shape or form and physical games could soon be a thing of the past. Thankfully I have many retro systems to scratch a gaming itch going forward if I decide the switch 2 will be my final console. I have to say, I wasn't really blown away with my ps5 purchase from the ps4 and quickly sold off the Xbox series x, so it's not just a dig at nintendo.

Re: Nintendo's Official Magazine Is Getting A Special Switch 2 Edition

Arh I remember the good old days going into a newsagent and buying nintendo magazines. Only problem was, once when pulling one of these mags out, a load of naughty mags from the top shelf fell down and I had the embarrassment of having to put them all back up, in a crowded shop! DOH!!! I did honestly want just the nintendo mag, honest!

Re: Fast Fusion Price On Switch 2 Puts Welcome Tour To Shame

Years ago I had my own sandwich business, rather than increase prices, I reduced them instead. Bottom line is, I sold more and ended up making more money than I did before! Something here for all companies who want rip us all off! Great to see this game going for a very generous price, you have my money and I hope others buy into this game. Ps hopefully the game kicks a** and proves me right as I love these wipeout type games!

Re: eBay Is Already Flooded With Switch 2 Pre-Orders At Ridiculous Prices

karatekid1612

When ebay started to get flooded, I made it my mission to report as many as possible on the grounds of ebay's own rule that item could not ship within 40 days. I must have reported 100 or more only to be told by an AI bot that it was not removed as there was nothing wrong. So I appealed against every decision and guess what most of the original decisions were kept in place by the appeals AI bot. The problem is ebay does not give a crap even in it's own rules as it makes more money from the inflated prices. Bottom line is, don't be an idiot and buy from a scalper and be patient!!

@GamingFan4Lyf PS there is a check list on this site to ensure your account is ready to receive a pre order invite. If you haven't already, check the check list to ensure you don't miss out ok. Things like turning notifications from nintendo ON, payment card and address up to date etc. Hopefully not informing you about the obvious so to speak, but it's a handy guide ok
