I presume you can just download your saves using the cloud backup so you don’t have to transfer every game? But that is a good point about Animal crossing - not sure if it would let you transfer the save in that way
I really wanted to be hyped about this but something about the presentation has left me a bit underwhelmed. Did I miss something? Mario Kart World looks great but enough to buy a new console great??
So it looks like there will be dlc character skins - do you think you will be able to purchase the Lego Dr. Robotnik skin later on if you didn’t pre-order it?
I really want to love this game but it just hasn’t clicked with me. I loved the first. I find the constant saving between menus a bit annoying as well!
My copy has just arrived! If anyone has any questions please let me know - and yes unfortunately it is a download code for Amy and the Game Gear titles
The physical version is Origins only - Origins plus remains as dlc NOT on the cartridge. (It just calls it origins on the menu screen before you put in the download code)
@Ks123 I’ve kept the preorder - I was really looking forward to it as Sonic were really the first games I ever played as a child - none of these issues have put me off. I never bought origins because of the complaints about the bugs but it seems they were patched out anyway. Origins looks good enough to me so Amy and the Game Gear games are just a bonus. I think I would have been a bit annoyed had I bought origins then had to pay extra for that whereas just buying origins plus is actually cheaper if you see what I mean.
@KingBurger I guess when it is released, watch some gameplay footage of both. I really wanted to love Mania but it didn't quite click with me - I really disliked the special stages from Sonic CD which are the special stages in Mania - that was my main reason. I am a huge fan of the classic Sonic games btw
Early on I got into a situation where I was taken up in a balloon and needed to paraglide down - I hadn’t received the paraglider yet!! So I wish I had known to have followed the story for a bit longer before exploring!
A switch 2/switch pro would be good as long as it is still compatible with all current switch games (my library would carry over etc) and it would allow the games to run at a higher resolution/frame rate. No need to reinvent the wheel methinks - just the same as we have with improved internals.

Re: Random: Splatoon 3 Squid Roll Bug Reportedly Surfaces On Switch 2
@TrogdorTheBurninator the connection time is quicker for me - not sure if that is just a coincidence or a switch 2 thing
Re: Random: You Can Mix & Match Switch 1 + 2 Joy-Con As Pairs
Could be useful in sports if you are using the leg strap (leg strap for switch 1 joy con and switch 2 joy con in hand)
Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At GameCube Games On Switch 2
Does anyone know if the gamecube games will have the rewind feature?
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Final Tech Specs Have Been Confirmed
I wonder if the camera feature in Mario Kart World when you play locally would also affect performance?
Re: Here's A Look At The Back Of Mario Kart World's Switch 2 Box Art
Does anyone know if you can still use the pro controller with motion control steering like you can in Mario Kart 8?
Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"
I presume you can just download your saves using the cloud backup so you don’t have to transfer every game? But that is a good point about Animal

Re: Yes, You Can Adjust The Camera In Mario Kart World
@Bizaster I see what you did there
Re: Switch 2's Backwards Compatibility List Provides Updates On Two Titles
@Johnny44 I think that’s the million dollar question - I think they should have talked about that on the Switch 2 presentation.
It would be a huge selling point if lots of games saw an improvement
Re: Gallery: Here's A Sneak Peek Of The Nintendo Switch Online App For Switch 2
@Friendly it could be downloads? Or a virtual toaster perhaps 🤪
Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)
Already pre-ordered from Amazon!!
Does anyone think the Switch 2 Pro controller will be any better than the current one?
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
I really wanted to be hyped about this but something about the presentation has left me a bit underwhelmed. Did I miss something? Mario Kart World looks great but enough to buy a new console great??
Sorry for being negative!
Re: Random: Incredible Stardew Valley Lego Build Contains Over 75,000 Pieces
That is incredible work! Wow
Re: Feature: 5 RPG Maker Horror Classics On Switch (And 3 We'd Love To See Ported)
This House is a fun horror puzzle based RPG maker game - often in steam sales!!! Gets quite spooky at times. Would enjoy that on the switch.
Re: Earn 4x Gold Points When You Buy A Pair Of Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (Europe)
@Mackocaster7 Hi, yes I have from the UK - just took a while for the extra points to be added
Re: Earn 4x Gold Points When You Buy A Pair Of Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (Europe)
@Vriess Phew! Glad you said that as the same thing has just happened to me!
Re: Earn 4x Gold Points When You Buy A Pair Of Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (Europe)
Sorry for the stupid question but does this mean one purchase is two vouchers or do you have to buy two sets of the vouchers to get this offer?!
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
Call it the Wii U to ensure it sells well 😂
Re: Soapbox: I Scoffed At Switch Lite, Then I Backpacked Through South East Asia
They missed a trick not calling it the Lite Switch
Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays, Nintendo Lifers
Merry Christmas Holiday Time!
Re: Switch Online's 'Missions & Rewards' Adds Pikmin 4 Icons
@scrubicius I also wish you could mix and match them with different games
Re: Poll: Disney Illusion Island Is Out On Switch Today, Will You Be Getting It?
I will definitely get it but as a previous comment said, too busy with Zelda and Pikmin right now!
Re: Video: Sega Releases Stunning Opening Animation For Sonic Superstars
So it looks like there will be dlc character skins - do you think you will be able to purchase the Lego Dr. Robotnik skin later on if you didn’t pre-order it?
Re: Three New Game Boy Advance Posters Are Now Available From My Nintendo Store (Europe)
Is anyone else having issues getting onto the UK Nintendo store?
Re: Ubisoft's The Settlers: New Allies Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch
@ToDaisy Thank you so much for that! I loved the original settlers games so you've got me excited for this one now
Re: Ubisoft's The Settlers: New Allies Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch
@ToDaisy are you playing it on the Switch? Does the performance seem ok?
Re: Review: Sonic Origins Plus - Not Bad, But Sonic Still Deserves Better
Well, I’m really enjoying it! I would have been annoyed had I bought Sonic Origins when it first was released.
Re: Review: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope: The Last Spark Hunter - Fun But Safe DLC Lacks Spark
I really want to love this game but it just hasn’t clicked with me. I loved the first. I find the constant saving between menus a bit annoying as well!
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@RSSR thank you 😀
Re: Random: Amy Is No Longer The Damsel In Distress In Sonic Origins Plus Clip
@samuelvictor I hope I haven’t screwed it up by putting in the code too early 🥴
Re: Random: Amy Is No Longer The Damsel In Distress In Sonic Origins Plus Clip
@samuelvictor I do!! But just can’t play the extras yet! The artbook is lovely 😀
Re: Random: Amy Is No Longer The Damsel In Distress In Sonic Origins Plus Clip
@samuelvictor Yeah sorry about that - it is just Sonic origins I can play and not plus yet
Re: Random: Amy Is No Longer The Damsel In Distress In Sonic Origins Plus Clip
Annoyingly it won’t let me download the code so I guess I can’t play the plus version until Friday
Re: Random: Amy Is No Longer The Damsel In Distress In Sonic Origins Plus Clip

Re: Random: Amy Is No Longer The Damsel In Distress In Sonic Origins Plus Clip
Wow - a positive article on the game!! 😀😀 I’m looking forward to receiving my copy on Friday! (Or sooner hopefully!)

@OrangeSoda thanks for getting that stuck in my head 😂😂😂😂
Re: Zelda: TOTK Players Discover Simple Way To Make Rupees With 'Frozen Meat Glitch'
Meats back on the menu, boys not lads… Lotr time
Edit - thanks for changing it 😀😀😀

@Ruler-Of-All-Evil Thank you!! 😀😀😀
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@KingBurger I guess when it is released, watch some gameplay footage of both.

Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@scottishwildcat but games means we can ignore the outside world!!
I do agree with you though!
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
@belmont In Sonic 1 can you officially play as Sonic and Tails now or is it still just Sonic alone?
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
Ah man.... I've got this preordered and keep wondering if I should cancel.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Wish You Knew Sooner In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
@eaglebob345 I agree!!! 😀
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Wish You Knew Sooner In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
@Manxman64 ooo good one!
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Wish You Knew Sooner In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
@eaglebob345 I feel like the game should have stopped this from happening - I also went to a shrine near there and again, needed the paraglider 😛
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Wish You Knew Sooner In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?

Re: Soapbox: If Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Isn’t Switch’s Swan Song, It Really Should Be
A switch 2/switch pro would be good as long as it is still compatible with all current switch games (my library would carry over etc) and it would allow the games to run at a higher resolution/frame rate. No need to reinvent the wheel methinks - just the same as we have with improved internals.
Re: Nintendo's Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom TV Ad Might Be Its Best One Ever
I really like it but I cannot help feeling that it is more of a comment on adult life than an advert for a game.
