Many major releases on the ps store are absurd, the main culprit, to my eye, being E.A. They seem to release three different versions of some of their sports titles, in particular, with ludicrous names. The most expensive of which costs around £85.
Would rather watch our boy Alex in a purely Nintendo focused one of these. If he wanted to wear a costume I’d be cool with that, though it’s not a deal-breaker for me.
@Spoony_Tech because I wanted to know how he would answer the question ☺️
And, you’re correct, NASCAR isn’t a sport, it’s a motorsport. I’m not sure, of course, as I haven’t asked them, but I think the millions of people you mention would refer to it as such 😉
I voted for "I'm hyped..." though there should been an option for, "I'm hyped but I know I probably won't be able to find one unless I pay way over the rrp for one."
It is currently still immensely difficult to buy a switch in many Japanese cities, and they're going for ¥44,000 as opposed to the ¥32,000 rrp, which includes tax, on Amazon. This number could have been so much higher.
Yeah, it's great, but do they have nothing more than a logo to show? Maybe they do. But if they don't then when will the game be released? 2019, if we're lucky?
And what have retro been doing for the last 4 years?
It does look nice, I'd like to play it some time, for sure. Has anyone played it on other platforms? I don't like to be critical, especially having just watched a few trailers, but I am wondering if the developers had any of their own gameplay ideas that perhaps weren't in the trailer?
I remember downloading some excellent games via Xbox's games with gold service; dishonoured and a red faction game, viva piñata too I think. A few nes games seems like slim pickings. This service needs n64, GameCube and even Wii games, in my opinion.
$20 is pretty cheap, the classic game giveaways do not sound as though they'll be games I'm interested in playing, though. Also, are they actually giveaways? I thought I read that we merely got to play one game a month?
My only concern is that there seems to be more barriers preventing climbing up walls in squid form. Maybe that's just these levels. The rotation will probably annoy me again, as will drip feeding us content. Even with those annoyances it's still splatoon; the most fun third person shooter I've ever played. ☺
@Shard1 yes it's a real nightmare. What city are you in? I'm inclined to think it's just incompetence as opposed to an actual plan to manafacture a 'stock shortage.' 😂

Re: EA Won't Entirely Rule Out Star Wars Battlefront II Coming To Switch
The previous one was pretty pants, in my opinion. Will wait to see if the second improves upon it before caring if it comes to switch or not.

Re: Video: Let's Discuss 5 Ways Nintendo Could Improve the Switch Online App
It should be on the OS, as others have said. Also, can you really not talk to random people on it? That would make it totally superfluous, surely?
On a more positive note I loved the video, Alex. All hail the Analogy King!

@Anti-Matter Some games have the same negative effects as cigarettes?
Re: Switch Stock Shortages Cost Nintendo First Place In May's NPD Hardware Charts
@Anti-Matter you think people are pathetic because their taste in video games is different to your own?
I don't mean to start an argument, but that's one of several frankly bizarre comments I've read from you.

Re: Thank Samus, Metroid Prime 4 Has Been Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
Yeah, it's great, but do they have nothing more than a logo to show? Maybe they do. But if they don't then when will the game be released? 2019, if we're lucky?

Re: Nintendo's Online Service For Switch Will Offer "Ongoing Access" To Classic Games
I remember downloading some excellent games via Xbox's games with gold service; dishonoured and a red faction game, viva piñata too I think. A few nes games seems like slim pickings. This service needs n64, GameCube and even Wii games, in my opinion.
