Re: Zavvi Launches Mario Kart Racing Merch Range

Probably not just in time for Christmas. I ordered something from them 9th November.

Estimated shipping date in account still says 11/11. Still not shipped.

This is what customer services have had to say....

"As I'm sure you can understand, we are now in a very busy time of the year, and as such, it can take some orders a little longer to be dispatched."

I'd advise avoiding zavvi at all costs

Re: Motorsport Manager Speeds Onto Switch This Month

I will get this at some point but when will depend on whether it's based on the mobile or PC version...I expect some kind of enhanced mobile version so will wait and pick up in a sale at decent price given I have mm1-3 on my phone and the PC version.

Re: Feature: Getting Reacquainted With Zelda: Link's Awakening, An Irreverent And Often Very Silly Classic

Sentimentally it's the first zelda game I ever completed when I was a kid and it means a lot to me for that reason. It's not the best Zelda by any means but will (likely) always be my favourite and I can not wait to get my hands on this. Realising it was this as the trailer started in the direct really hit me in a good way, I didn't expect this game and now I can't wait.

Re: Soapbox: Let's Give Nintendo Switch Online A Chance Before We Throw It To The Wolves

For the cost I have no complaints it's decent value. I am disappointed that the retro games are limited to NES only but I expect that this could change over time.
Even if I only played mk8d or splatoon2 online amd BoTW the online gaming and cloud back up seems a steal for £18.
Some people's expectations seem unrealistic. It's the start of the service and it will evolve for sure. I'm not unhappy with what we know so far.

Re: Feature: Thoughts on the Nintendo Switch Preview Event in London

I was there Saturday morning...a free for all outside and despite saying registration opened at 830 it was gone 9am by the time we got in then we were not allowed onto the floor to play games for all further 30 mins.
That said I managed to play everything except splatoon2 which was not a big worry for me...I know what to expect from that.
Food was a good touch I wasent expecting and by the time I left Saturday it looked like a queue system had been set up outside the theatre itself which would have really helped in the morning.
On the whole it was a good experience and nice to try out the games. For me it reinforced what I'd seen on the streams the day before. It's good fun but for me BOTW is the main draw and I have a wiiu so £40 vs £320 is a no brainer for me. I will get a switch but it will not be until at least Christmas that I do.

Re: First Impressions: Going Hand-to-Hand With ARMS

This was by far my favourite game at the hand on preview event at the weekend...it has a real "just one more go" vibe... me and my mate would have a match then rejoin the queue to have another grudge match. I'm really looking forward to this.
