Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Hits Switch This July Alongside Themed Joy-Con

“HD”... it looked ugly in the trailer! Some of the Hylian faces (with the lips!) looked grotesque. I tried this late in the day of Wii and couldn’t get into it because of the motion controls, but I understand some of the dungeons are the best in the series so definitely picking this up and playing it in button mode.

Hopefully they’ve overhauled the hours long tutorial sections...

I’ve ended up pretty much getting anything Nintendo release - when and as they release it - but this is a hard pass. I don’t have the space and the absurd price and knowing full well I’d “play” with this for an hour and that would be it.

Hopefully (personally and selfishly speaking) it will go the way of Starlink and Labo and utterly drop in price to ... around £30.

Re: Pre-Order Pikmin 3 Deluxe From Nintendo's UK Store To Receive These Charming Extras

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?
