I tend to miss out on the “realistic” human characters (aside from Link).
I’m guessing there will be a DLC fighter announced in the next couple of weeks and at the end of the reveal they’ll announce a Banjo Kazooie amiibo - I badly want that one!
Tempting... but £50, Nintendo? I went with ShopTo for £42. Comes with the cloth, but stickers instead. Not worth £8 for a small coffee cup that’s inferior to my Thermos and so will sit forgotten in a box of similar curiosities.
The Origami King origami sheets were a wonderful touch. Is a coffee cup in any way related to the game? Do you command your pikmin to carry off empty Costa cups?
@KingBowser86 but you didn’t say “earrape”, did you? And there are other words for you - I decided upon oddball. Okay? Did you want me to crack out a thesaurus and list them all? Strange child.
I will buy it because apparently I buy everything Nintendo throw my way... it looks genuinely interesting and would likely prove useful to my lifestyle.
@Geobros without a doubt this looks better than the PlayStation original release. If you were to bust out the ol’ PSOne, or wait til 10 different YouTube accounts do a side by side comparison... you’ll see it too.
@Santoria oh thank you! I checked a couple of the emails and couldn’t see anything in the initial few... as for audio logs, the absence of subtitles is ridiculous as these sort of games I like to play while listening to music at a medium volume.
So yeah, I’ll stick to looking them up online, cheers!
@FTL exactly. My copy of Stick of Truth on the Xbox 360 would judder occasionally and, as you all know, is merely replicating an episode of South Park.
Incidentally, I bought it again on Switch and encountered no such problem.
Already own 2 x 64 GB and just purchased a 128GB from amazon for £16.99 last week that's still in its packaging so I'll return this one and mentally take the cost off the £56.
Bargain, well worth it to put an end to switching out cards and remembering which games are on what.
I had this on PS4 and really enjoyed it. Utterly charming - wonderful to explore the house and gaze at endless bits of personal oddities... one sound bite in particular toward the end makes my heart swell. I’ll be picking this up again.

Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass 61 Million, Equalling The Mighty NES
Don’t take your foot off the gas, Nintendo!
Re: Random: The LEGO NES Has A Cool Super Mario Bros. Easter Egg Hidden Inside It
@Mynemo ha, a British pound isn’t worth all that much. Brexit saw to that. Picked up mine yesterday with some bonus COVID cash.
Re: The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System Is Now Available For Purchase
@Al_Godoy yep. A licence to print money.
Re: Review: Blair Witch - A Decent Horror Romp That Doesn't Quite Live Up To Its Tantalising Premise
I want to play this, but will wait til the inevitable sale. I’ll be happy to pay under £15 for this.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Recreates Entire Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster
@mousieone ... you gotta be kidding, right? Mii Fighters - #1 Brawler, #2 Swordfighter, #3 Gunner.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Recreates Entire Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster
@SpiderSquid they’re the Mii Fighters.
Re: Uniqlo's Super Mario 35th Anniversary Clothing Collection Is Now Available In The US
That red one with the black and white Mario is AWFUL. Look at that terrible font! It looks like something you’d see dubiously on eBay.

@KingBowser86 but you didn’t say “earrape”, did you?
And there are other words for you - I decided upon oddball. Okay? Did you want me to crack out a thesaurus and list them all? Strange child.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate's Cherry Blossom Spirit Event Celebrates All Things Pink
@KingBowser86 you’re the one who mentioned r*pe on a Nintendo website, you oddball.
Re: Amazon Is Delaying Shipments Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Thankfully I got an email from amazon early this morning to say its been dispatched.... otherwise I'd go digital.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #31 - Ghosts 'n Goblins
Very rare for NA to win one of these for me.
Re: Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training For Nintendo Switch Adds A New Memory Exercise
Isn’t it really, really hard to get a brain age of 20?
Re: Ring Fit Adventure's Healthy Sales Continue, As Nintendo President Apologises For Shortages
@nkarafo Tipp is the blank faced tutorial instructor, bit too similar to Wii Fit Trainer.
I obviously know who you meant, I suppose they’re called “Ring Fit Adventurer”.
Re: UK Charts: Luigi's Mansion 3 Just Had The Best Opening Week Of Any Switch Game In 2019
Also worth noting that Luigi came out on Thursday, so two days fewer sales.
Re: Video: DOOM 64 Scrubs Up Pretty Nicely, It Turns Out
Wait... you’re saying DOOM 64 has been delayed too?
Re: Mario Kart Tour's Diddy Kong Pack Costs £39, The Same Price As Mario Kart 8 Deluxe On Switch
Yeah, but can you play as Diddy Kong in MK8?
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - A Magical Remastering Of A Series Highlight
“A truly beautiful remake of one of the Zelda games”? Are you missing a word there? Perhaps... one of the BEST or MOST BELOVED Zelda games?
Re: Talking Point: Ring Fit Adventure Is A Thing, But Is It Your Sort Of Thing?
I will buy it because apparently I buy everything Nintendo throw my way... it looks genuinely interesting and would likely prove useful to my lifestyle.
Re: Yacht Club Games Officially Reveals The Shovel Knight Gold Edition amiibo
@TheAwesomeBowser you can get Piranha Plant from Nintendo UK store for £12.99. It’s in stock at this very moment - ships late September.
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Store Ads Suggest Smash Bros. Ultimate Release Could Be Imminent
@Giygas_95 I doubt he’ll drop same day as Link’s Awakening
Re: Rumour: The Next DLC Fighter For Smash Bros. Ultimate Might Be Representing SNK
Link, from Soul Calibur II.
Re: DOOM 64 Rated By The Australian Classification Board
Definitely scooping this up ... been thoroughly enjoying 1, 2 and especially 3. The gameplay on the first two is just plain addictive.
Re: Gallery: Square Enix Just Sent Us A Load Of Final Fantasy VIII Dog Screenshots
@Geobros without a doubt this looks better than the PlayStation original release. If you were to bust out the ol’ PSOne, or wait til 10 different YouTube accounts do a side by side comparison... you’ll see it too.
Re: Video: Watch Exclusive Gameplay Footage Of DK-Inspired Platformer Jet Kave Adventure
Come on lads, Switches aloft and a hammer to our PS4s.
Re: Epic Pulls Fortnite Dog From Sale After Player Backlash, Compensation Being Provided
Rubbish like this is why we’re deprived of story pack DLCs or a Grand Theft Auto VI.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo DS Games
With no Corey in the House... this top 50 is a total farce.
Re: Review: Doom 3 - A Dark, Unnerving Oddity In The Slayer Series That Still Impresses
@Santoria oh thank you! I checked a couple of the emails and couldn’t see anything in the initial few... as for audio logs, the absence of subtitles is ridiculous as these sort of games I like to play while listening to music at a medium volume.

Re: Review: Doom 3 - A Dark, Unnerving Oddity In The Slayer Series That Still Impresses
I’m really enjoying this! Great 6th gen era shooter that completely passed me by at the time.
One question... I’ve been looking them up online, but how exactly are you supposed to know the locker combinations in game?
Re: Pokémon Card Gets Banned From World Championships To Avoid Player Confusion
This is the sort of quirky news I signed up for. Lovely stuff!
Re: Jim Carrey Responds To Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Backlash, Delay And Redesign
I was only vaguely interested in seeing it cos it looked so awful - like how you can’t look away from a roadside wreckage.
Now they’re cleaning it up in the cgi department, I have absolutely no interest. If anything, I truly believe this decision will hurt the film.
Re: Dragon Quest's The Hero Joins Smash Bros. Ultimate Today
@Kalmaro thank you!
Re: Dragon Quest's The Hero Joins Smash Bros. Ultimate Today
Just where the heck do I watch this presentation? All these articles about it and no link or website where to actually view it live.
Re: Random: GoldenEye N64 Can Be Beaten With Just One Bullet
@BacklogBlues too young, perhaps.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Technical Director Reveals More About The Labo VR Update
@Morpheel yes, you can use it without the goggles.
Re: Video: Want To See 5 Minutes Of Cuphead Running On Switch? Of Course You Do
@FTL exactly. My copy of Stick of Truth on the Xbox 360 would judder occasionally and, as you all know, is merely replicating an episode of South Park.
Incidentally, I bought it again on Switch and encountered no such problem.
Re: Japanese Charts: Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn Debuts In Sixth, Can't Compete With Switch Titles
That is beautiful to see the 2 - 9 spots dominated by Nintendo.
Re: Deals: Boost Your Switch Storage With A 400GB Micro SD Card For Just £56
Sweet! Just picked one up.
Already own 2 x 64 GB and just purchased a 128GB from amazon for £16.99 last week that's still in its packaging so I'll return this one and mentally take the cost off the £56.
Bargain, well worth it to put an end to switching out cards and remembering which games are on what.
Re: Switch eShop Glitch Leaves Customer Facing $239 Charge For Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Yes. I would have paid the $239 regardless. Quality content.
Re: The Critically Acclaimed Gone Home Is Headed To Nintendo Switch Next Week
I had this on PS4 and really enjoyed it. Utterly charming - wonderful to explore the house and gaze at endless bits of personal oddities... one sound bite in particular toward the end makes my heart swell. I’ll be picking this up again.
