All the best, Zion! and thank you.

@OldManHermit me too. I saw them for free at Hyde Park as part of Wireless Festival via Applause Store. Just had to get there early to be at the bandstand for a Channel 4 acoustic recording of Klaxons and Calvin Harris… memories.

Happy about these - they're clearly getting a good response!

As an aside, I wonder when Game Boy will get an update... it needs the "Nintendo Classics" title.

@John_Deacon it never occurred to me, but you’re exactly right. The spine doesn’t quite make up for it.

@Coffee-Waffle ShopTo - before they realised their error

Managed to snag this package for £42 physical

“Where else do you get your gaming news?“ should have both an “other” and “none” option.

This is currently a bargain price at many UK retailers (picked it up for £23 at Curry’s on Switch 2)

As Maxmoefoe would say in his Poképuns videos… “That rake was a gift from Bill”, so that’s how I pronounce it.

@westman98 of which includes the holiday period - and a huge Pokémon release! Easily done

@RazzBerryPie ya think?

@Suketoudara 40th? I’m not that old!

@Orwellian87 the only Direct rumours I trust are from NateTheHate. So, I'm confident this is going to happen.

@Jack_Goetz incredible! I’ll have to try it when I get home. Amazed this hasn’t been wider reported!

Was hoping there was an Easter egg somewhere of the famous start up sequence.

@Yosher I agree the chances are slim - it might be hidden in the menus at the very least. We shall hope and see!

@eltomo absolutely. Matthewmatosis on YouTube does deep dives into the 3D Zeldas and does a brilliant job of showcasing how the remake just makes the characters look like plastic toys, rather than a cel-shaded cartoon.

Any idea whether when we load the GameCube Online App we get the famous GameCube startup screen, or is it just the little chime as heard above, like with the other systems?

Got my pre order invite from Nintendo at 1230. Verification code took over five minutes to come thru... picked up console + Mario Kart, Pro controller and GameCube controller.

You forgot to mention Game Trials

Unless you’re purely going by Nintendo’s graphic, that is…

@Olmectron it’s not a giant leap to go from revealing more Metroid Prime 4 content to announcing Prime 2 is shortly available in the eShop, much like when Prime Remastered was shadow dropped.

They really could have announced Metroid Prime 2 Remastered after that 4 showcase and that would’ve been an easy crowd pleaser… maybe they really are holding it back for GameCube Online. The speculation continues.

Ohhh-ho that double Direct countdown banner on the NintendoLife website is both hilarious and extremely exciting.

Bit of a misleading title as it suggests only us Switch owners are getting shafted, but this is not the case. Otherwise, great article that I agree with fully.

I’d rather play this than World of Warcraft!

I’m actually surprised. This is the first first party (remaster or otherwise) I’ve not bothered with since the Switch launch. Figure it’ll get a physical reduction eventually… I’ll bite at £20.

Edit: to my knowledge. I haven’t picked up smaller games I have no interest in like 1-2 Switch sequel

@WhiteTrashGuy there certainly is - just barebones without DLC.

Glad you reported on this. I am so excited, I have sunk well over one hundred hours on this glorious game - and I love me some Wallace & Gromit! Cracking.

aww that’s cute - only took ya 3 films!

UK general election reference in the subheader did not go unnoticed

This would be such a welcome nostalgia trip, but £24.99 is too much of an ask when the backlog is real. I see a lot of the other (vastly inferior) Worms games reduced on the eShop, so I think I’ll bite around the 50% mark.

Powerwash Simulator is brilliant. I’ve sunk over 105 hours on the base game alone (plus the heaps of free DLC)! So therapeutic and addictive. I play it on night shifts while listening to podcasts.

Everyone is saying Emio this and Emio that, but no one is saying ARMS this and Jump Rope Challenge that.

@Hwatt ah, didn’t catch that - my bad! Good old NYC. Visited a few times.

“ One per purchase, while supplies last”, huh?

My favourite Simpsons character

The small print “not real gameplay” shown in trailers has been making me laugh since the early 00s.

@OctolingKing13 nah, they typically give release date info via social media about upcoming games shortly before a Direct and then the Direct showcases them further

@Walactor grover pls

@PapaMurphy Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole are both excellent. Obviously boosted tremendously by being fans of the show itself - Stick of Truth would still be very enjoyable to someone with very basic South Park knowledge.

Loaded this one up (after a hefty download), went to the menu, looked at the Batsuits to check out the new timed exclusive The Batman one… oh no. I seriously thought my TV was on the fritz.

I like the Japan artwork, but on the other hand, I prefer the Japan artwork.

@gcunit ha! Too much effort I reckon… that’s what I get for being disloyal! I might be able to just switch out the outer case - I’m not certain that the inlay was creased, but when it arrived, I thought the packaging was insufficient.

@gcunit … I got mine in a plastic bag, spine was a tiny bit bashed up

Might finally move over from ShopTo! I cancelled my order for Pikmin 1+2 from the latter as Currys had a similar 25% off deal - got them for £29.99

@TotalHenshin thanks for the reply!

Have these been on sale yet since release?
I know Square regularly does sales and FFVII (eg) is often a bargain price…

@Bunkerneath yeah, same here. I am a physical buyer so looked at PlayAsia a few times but once they hit you with tax I thought … nah.

Have these titles ever been on sale individually? I know Square titles are often for cheaps on eShop fairly regularly. I’d pick up FFVI and get somewhere with it, unlike my failed attempts on SNES mini and iOS.

@Vyacheslav333 different regions have different licensing laws.

@EarthboundBenjy possibly digital music licensing.
