@Tantani Of course you are right. Usually when there are heaps of games on sale I make a list, halve it, then halve it again and end up with two or three games for twenty or thirty dollars. Experience has taught me to slow down and not overspend.
@MS7000 Nintendo doesn't discount them very often, Black Friday wasn't that long ago, and it's Christmas. The time of the year people gonna pay full price.
When those intial opening credits to Phantom Menace scrolled up, that was as good as it got. All that anticipation, all that hype, built on the back of cherished childhood memories. It was downhill from there. I never understood why Last Jedi made people angrier than Force Awakens. They were both so God awful.

iPad definitely a yes, but airpods and apple watch? F#ck dat. Apple finally comes out with decent headphones and people go nuts. The Apple watch is only successful when compared to other smart watches. Not to mention both these devices are only used by people who already have iPhones. They probably do come in handy, you no longer need to pull out your iPhone to flex.
My youngest and I had one great day building and another playing with the vehicle labo. The biggest disappoint was the lag when using it play Mario kart
@farmer_humpf Right on. It wouldn't be the Nintendo we know and love without their weird and wonderful experimentation. They are not immune, however, to Sturgeons Law: ”ninety percent of everything is crap"
@Kalmaro What really pisses me off is that Goro voice actor has only two f#cking arms! Don't even get me started on the voice actors behind the Toy Story movies. Ken was voiced by a man with a penis!!
@LunarFlame17 Lol. I've been there. That's the point where I put the switch in the lounge and tell my wife it's "for the kids". Unfortunately she isn't stupid. Though broadly speaking I am glad she isn't.
Not much for me but i just bought mario kart (waiting for a price drop, own it on wii u) for $55 AUD plus 10% back, complete edition of shantae for $30 and MK 11 for $24 ( $14 with $10 off for using amazon app. I really looking forward to playing MK, MK and Shantae.
Despite almost thirty years having passed, my level of excitement vs my level of disappointment was the same in 2018 as it was in 1992. Fool me twice I guess. At least we got "Lawnmower man" in '92.
@SilentHunter382 I put in my details and it is £5 to send it to the other side of the planet, as in Perth WA. Surely it would be cheaper to post it to Ireland.
Naturally the games I want, Yonder and Darkest Dungeon, are sold out. Intriguingly enough Darkest Dungeon is available for the Vita. It has been a long time since I bought, or saw, a physical Vita game.

Re: Switch Named Most Fragile Product Of The Year By French Consumer's Association
My seven year old Vita doesn't have this issue. I don't play it much anymore but it's clocked A LOT of hours.
Re: Review: Demon's Tilt - A Worthy Successor To Devil's Crush
This looks right up my alley, but $30 AUD is a bit much. I probably wouldve taken a stab at $20.

@Ttimer5 Agreed. I am not sure how influential releasing apple versions of existing products actually is.
