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.

@romevi stable-isation is what Nintendo bug fixes do best.

Sweeeeeeeeet

This is a great article, well done NintendoLife!

@hashkey ha, reminds me of all those early 90s news reports of outraged mothers having to buy Super Nintendo hardware to play new games - and then complaining they had to keep the NES around.

Wow, neat that NintendoLife got the actual Batman to answer the question about whether the full trilogy was on the cart.

@Ventilator phone the chief of police!

I realised as soon as I got it in my hands that it’ll be the last Zelda for a long while….I completed by first phenomenon around the 15th May and second coincidentally on the 15th June… so I aim to keep that pace and complete the game around late August. Still in disbelief at how much content. I 100%’d BotW so I might as well do the same with TotK on the first play thru.

No, I did not know that.

Ooooh, I wonder which number in the national ‘dex Buster Gonad is.

@Gumdrop ah brilliant - I’ll give that a go, thank you

I've passed about 8 of these and had no clue how to interact with it. I've largely bypassed most things Zonai as there's so much else to do... even 65 hours in.

Perhaps I'm alone, but I feel the battery / Zonai device aspect of the game hasn't been explained very clearly.

@GreenNinja500 same for me. I might tune in for the Big Run (thankfully a week later) as I’m almost exclusively a Salmon Run player.

damn, I'll consider this a spoiler... I'll probably stay away from this cool site for a few weeks / months!

I would be incredibly hyped, but I'm still enamoured with the Switch and the backlog is unreal. I could easily wait another couple of years.

bit annoyed that I set up alerts for the pre order of the special edition - got into the UK site queuing on the day, picked up the game and the amiibo, but the pro controller wasn't listed. Then the next day, it came and went... can't seem to get that anywhere now.

I frequent hotukdeals daily and loads of outlets (Argos, Smyths, GAME) have Last of Us 2 for £7.99.

I played the first remastered on PS4 and snapped this up back when £15 sounded like a steal… so a no brainer. Doesn’t mean I’ve got round to playing it, however!

PCS are usually always character reveals… even tho they already showed Yoshis in the movie. I was hoping during the Banzai Bill scene going overhead the castle we would’ve scene either Yoshi or an egg on the roof…

A rumour about a rumour!

@Cool-Breeze completing Nintendo surveys and playing the “missions and rewards” tab on NSO. You’ll soon rack up hundreds.

@Zanzox I don’t think that’s what they were saying. But Diddy is a shoe-in.

@BabyYoda71 yes, I also have Wikipedia access. But an April general Direct? That’s just plain crazy talk.

@Bret that’s why I didn’t mention it.

@TheBigBlue mighty defensive comment there. Imagine them dropping a mini direct partner showcase at E3 in 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2021.

@BabyYoda71 there was no June Direct in 2022

@Uncle_Franklin you and he were buddies, weren’t you?

Hmm. I pre ordered knowing that with Amazon’s “Pre-order price guarantee” I’ll get it for the lowest price listed between now and release. If it doesn’t fall below £20… I’ll cancel on May 11th.

Go ahead and Google “average US adult waistline” … welp!

What I loved about the old animated series… is it pushed the idea that what was inside the question box was truly random. However, in the games, this isn’t the case.

@RainbowGazelle ah, thank you! I’ll keep an eye out…

Any reason why these aren’t listed on the UK store?
I’m not the biggest amiibo guy, but I like to get most of the cool looking Smash ones and until this article realised I didn’t pre order Sephiroth… but it’s not even showing on the store. Sold out in GAME on pre order.
