@faint at the price of the games, accessories, the system itself and having to pay for online, most people won't want to buy this when they already have an Xbox or PlayStation especially with the small amount of good games
@Iggy-Koopa Jesus dude, why can't you except that what I am saying is what I have seen? The Switch won't be enough to to move people from PS4 and XBox One.
@Iggy-Koopa No one that I know has mentioned anything about it and the only place I have read about it is on Nintendo sites, BBC News and MSN suggestions on Edge
@Billsama compared to PS4 and XBox One, the Switch is barely being talked about which really isn't a good sign. Yes, big Nintendo fans will buy it, but casual gamers who likely have an Xbox or PlayStation likely won't buy it.
@Billsama the only places I have heard about the Switch are on Nintendo sites. I haven't heard anyone talking about it and that is completely different compared to people actually talking about the PS4 and XBox One. At the moment, I think this will fail
In my opinion, Nintendo should have been more open about the Switch. At the moment, the upcoming games aren't worth it to buy the system. Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2 don't seem to have enough to changes to make me buy the system plus having to pay for online just makes me want it even less. The Zelda game I can get on Wii U. The extra controllers are way too expensive. The only thing that I really would want the Switch for is Super Mario, but even that doesn't look that fantastic and definitely isn't enough to buy the experience system. They needed to reveal more for the people that don't just buy the Switch just because it is from Nintendo.
I really don't think this is a brand new Mario Kart, mostly because of it being basically identical (King Boo and double items the only difference). I think it is likely a port with a few updates.
Also, is it just me, but does it seem like Nintendo Switch won't have backward compatibility?
@Nintendian what is on the second screen for the Wii U version? Anyway, they might have found a way to change the game if the NX doesn't have a second screen. Also, am I the only one that doesn't want a "hybrid" device? I would definitely prefer a separate handheld and home console.
@LegendOfPokemon I just get the ones that I actually want. From year 2, I am getting Harry Potter, Mission Impossible, Fantastic Beasts, Lego City and Sonic.
Why do they keep releasing these games every year!? They game more boring with every release. The only toy to life thing I actually think is worth it is Lego Dimensions especially when they are actually toys and not statues. Also, you don't need to buy a whole new Starter Pack every year unlike some of the Skylanders games.
Does anyone know if this PS Exclusive DLC for Lego Marvel Avengers is going to come to other consoles? The Civil War one was meant to come earlier this month and then Ant Man is July.
There are a few reasons why I strongly believe this is a fake. 1. An oval screen? Wouldn't games be hard to play with that? 2. What would be the point in even having a screen covering the full front when your hand would be covering both the sides 3. Wouldn't having touch screen buttons mean that you couldn't play with gloves on, unless they made some different touch screen thing (I know, strange point, but still I valid point)

@Kaze_Memaryu the Wii U version in Europe is already cheaper than on other consoles so stop complaining about the price. It would also be unfair that Wii U get the DLC for free, but other systems would have to pay for it. If you think the price is too high, don't get the game. I will be buying the Simpson's and Doctor Who packs.
Am I the only one wondering what the normal Mario Amiibo unlocks (either the Super Smash Bros one or the Super Mario one) when tapped into the game? It can't really unlock a Mario costume as you are already Mario (obviously) so maybe a different Mario design?

Are the Lego games defiantly on offer until Jan 5th?

I got the Traders game for free. I wonder which one is more popular...

Re: LEGO Dimensions Second Year Goodies Include More Detailed Worlds
@SLIGEACH_EIRE why don't you just get the things from the brands you like?
Re: Two More Discounts Arrive on My Nintendo in Europe
Why is it just discounts?! Why not actual games or physical items like Club Nintendo!?
Re: Nintendo Outlines Key Goals to Ensure NX Success
@Nintendian what is on the second screen for the Wii U version? Anyway, they might have found a way to change the game if the NX doesn't have a second screen. Also, am I the only one that doesn't want a "hybrid" device? I would definitely prefer a separate handheld and home console.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Key Goals to Ensure NX Success
@Claytonbob the only problem there might be are the Wii U games that require second screen which the NX might not have.
Re: E3 2016: Prepare to Empty Your Wallets for LEGO Dimensions Wave 6

Re: Rumour: Gremlins Are Eating After Midnight, Invading Lego Dimensions
@MadAdam81 why would Marvel want to promote X Men?
Re: Rumour: Nintendo UK Hints at More Mario Kart 8 DLC
@Adamario but the picture has nothing to do with it. If they wanted to advertise MK8, wouldn't they just use a MK8 picture and message?
Re: Minecraft: Wii U Edition Gets Its European Retail Release on 30th June
@LegendOfPokemon here in Europe we have our date different. The Day then the month so 30/6/16 would be 30th June 2016.

I can't see this being very popular.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has Neat DLC, Yet It's Not Listed for Wii U
Does anyone know if this PS Exclusive DLC for Lego Marvel Avengers is going to come to other consoles? The Civil War one was meant to come earlier this month and then Ant Man is July.
Re: Smartphone Animal Crossing And Fire Emblem Will Both Be Free-To-Play
@Megumi_Sagano I think that would actually be good on mobile. A full game might be harder to pull of well.
Re: Latest Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Features Everyone's Favourite Admiral
@AG_Awesome it's not like it is that expensive. £7.99 for 8 packs (including both level and character packs and just character packs)
Re: EB Games Display Lists Mighty No. 9 for a Summer 2016 Release
I think there is something not quite right. With all the delays and not that many reasons why.
Re: Toys-To-Life Newcomer Thinks We're Growing Bored Of Pieces Of Plastic
@shaneoh that wouldn't work because how would the game know what you have built (you can then input it into the game but that defeats the point)
Re: Rumour: More Claims Made For New Legend of Zelda on Wii U and NX, Gender Choice For Playable Character
The only thing I wouldn't be happy with would be the Wii U and NX release.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th December (Europe)
@Dakt cheaper to download I meant. There is no point comparing physical with downloads because of cause physical will be cheaper.

Re: Rejoice, There's A Tingle Costume In Super Mario Maker
Am I the only one wondering what the normal Mario Amiibo unlocks (either the Super Smash Bros one or the Super Mario one) when tapped into the game? It can't really unlock a Mario costume as you are already Mario (obviously) so maybe a different Mario design?
