Wow, is this the first time the “secondary” Pokémon title (ie, Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Shield) has charted higher than the “primary” title (ie, Red, Gold, Ruby, Sword)?
@Anti-Matter oooh, that’s insightful! What, do tell, are these other games do you have interest on? Perhaps you sharing the titles here may help propel their sales to 3.45 million units! 😀
The game finally clicked with me last month when, after originally receiving the game on release, I endeavoured to give it another fair try. Was able to continue my existing game (an impossibility with other titles) and I’ve put in over 60 hours in the past 3 weeks!
Completing the Pokédex is such an addictive and fun operation. More of this please, Gamefreak. You knocked it out the park.
@TheMelodiusRose I played Colours on the Switch and was hoping it lived up to the hype and nostalgia it was receiving… I didn’t play beyond the first level. Sonic is too fast for his own good, lead to a lot of jank.
I had Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube and I 100% it, but those Rogue levels were really infuriating due to controls, camera angles and enemy placement.
Sonic just can’t do 3D. The fans need to accept it, Sega needs to accept it. The Adventure games have aged like milk and beyond those, there is nothing worth noting.
@Jackpaza0508 in theory it will end pile-ons. Nintendolife did the same on here. There was a certain user here that would always have 5+ dislikes on their comments for just being their passionate selves and it always made me feel uneasy.
@sanderev is it bigger tho? As in, bigger than the standard base? We know the Guardian amiibo was more because it was so much larger than usual, but King K Rool cost the same as Pichu.
@Samwich90 we’ll be fine - I’ve never imported before either, but Switch is 100% region free 😀
I have a pal who imported the USA Fire Emblem 30th anniversary and the code worked on his Switch. Conversely, someone here sent their friend the Xenoblade Definitive Edition that wasn’t released in the USA and it worked fine.
I have ordered a copy to be imported from Amazon USA... £42 with import and conversion charges - roughly what I’d expect to pay if released natively. Just got a dispatch email, should arrive on March 25th. I wonder why this is... tho I suspect because Crash is far popular in Europe, they’re expecting people will double dip on a Switch digital/ physical release later down the line.

Wait, so Pokémon can now have more than 10 characters in their name?
Re: Random: Rockstar Reportedly Turned Down A GTA Movie Starring Eminem
Anything Eminem has done after 2003 has been awful rubbish - not even a single good verse. Anything before then (including 8 Mile) is solid gold.
Unparalleled fall from grace.

@JAGleics oops! My bad! Sorry. Yeah, the Amazon ones are a bit of a deal if you’re looking.

@Schizor88 ok stranger
Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Schizor88 well, it wasn’t me that typed out those erroneous full stops and sentence breaks.
Unless you really did mean that you’d buy the game if it isn’t great…?

Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Aerona I agree with all points here.
Sonic just can’t do 3D. The fans need to accept it, Sega needs to accept it. The Adventure games have aged like milk and beyond those, there is nothing worth noting.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Schizor88 reading this hurt my brain.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #91 - Mario Golf
“Tee up with Mario and his friends” isn’t the expression “tee off”?
Re: Looks Like E3 2022 Is Officially Cancelled
@IronMan30 succinctly put.
The ONLY good thing about E3 for me, was that it was a guaranteed June Direct.
Re: Unpack A Box With The 'Unpacking' Physical Edition From Limited Run Games
Has this ever been on sale? I really want to check this out, but £17.99 digital is too much for me to justify.
Re: Metroid Dread Is Getting Free Updates, And The First Arrives Today
This is personal from Nintendo to push sales over 3 Million within the year so that RGT has to play Balan Wonderworld.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Stays Top For A Second Consecutive Week
@acNewUpdates they sure do! Like the good people over at Metacritic. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Garfield Kart.

Re: Charles Martinet Wants To Voice Mario For As Long As He Possibly Can
@KillerBOB comfort in familiarity. Seeing this wholesome dude’s name attached to all projects with Mario.

@CactusMan in the recent Direct “Mario will be talking a LOT in this movie!”
Re: Oh No, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Has Been Delayed On Switch
I really hope they add a retro pixel graphics mode. The original versions still look great today!

Re: Katy Perry's Pokémon Song 'Electric' Is Out Now
@Outerdragon tell me what number it reached then.
Re: Katy Perry's Pokémon Song 'Electric' Is Out Now
@Outerdragon looks like I was right. It didn’t chart. Katy Floppy Perry.
Re: Looks Like The Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword amiibo Will Cost More Than Other Figures
@sanderev is it bigger tho? As in, bigger than the standard base? We know the Guardian amiibo was more because it was so much larger than usual, but King K Rool cost the same as Pichu.
Re: Katy Perry's Pokémon Song 'Electric' Is Out Now
This won’t even chart. I’ll bet £50 this won’t enter the UK Top 100.

Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For March And April 2021
Any idea if Crash 4 is coming to physical in the UK? I can’t find any information anywhere! GAME just says “TBC”.
