Faith shattered. I was hoping for Mario Galaxy 3 on my Blackberry.

What about the Pro Controllers? They use the same hardware and I've gone through 4 of them in the Switch's lifetime.

I've just grabbed one from the UK store - seems to have been processed fine so far!

I think it lends itself well to some cool puzzle solving; I'm eager to see what direction the rest of the game takes as I have no doubt the sense of exploration and experimentation will make for a unique fusion.

I've watched 10 minutes of a game which has only shown a few small features so as not spoil anything, but I've made an executive decision that this should have been free DLC. I'm disowning Nintendo and I'm putting Tingle up for adoption. GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!

Hope we get elevator music between each of the tears of the kingdom.

@Munchlax Hehe, I know, it was a subtle nod ^_^

Great, Hamster-Gate is upon us! Next you'll me telling me Kirby's real name is John & he's a Human who accidently swallowed an alien & gained its powers.

@Mgalens absolutely! At this point, I find it hard to imagine Nintendo deviating from a straight up Switch 2 with more (Animal Crossing) bells and (Warp) whistles.

@Almighty-Koz considering that XBSX and PS5 can barely do 4K at 60FPS, without sacrificing graphical fidelity in some form, I doubt that power is ever going to be high priority for Nintendo. They do however use modern technology, but they are more focused on innovative & cost effective tech they can reproduce and sell to the masses. Personally, I would be very happy if the Switch successor system had the power for constant 1080p, 60FPS and decent anti-aliaising.

FYI - Even after March 27, 2023, and for the foreseeable future, it will still be possible to redownload games and DLC, receive software updates and enjoy online play on Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
In summary, get the games and DLC you want before the cut-off, but don't worry about updating all of your games, especially if you haven't bought your physical game you've been longing for yet (I'm looking at you Yokai Watch 3)

@MetalMario Pretty much, yeh! Might take a minute or two, but it's pretty instant.

It was free in the EU eShop earlier today! (unless of course it's because I bought the Wii U version?)

@Bunkerneath the shovelware is everywhere, on all platforms. I won't deny there's a lot of it though. A lot of the hidden gems get lost in there.

@Morph Exactly my question too!! I'm going to boot it up and check out the DLC in the shop.

This is not something new - there are all sorts of unsavoury trust fund structures with fingers in many, many pies. I took a look at a few in in my time in Trust & Corporate & by Waluigi, it's very scary. The proposed Microsoft merger with Activision is but a mere drop in the water compared to the stuff I've seen & I bet what I've seen is tame compared to the stuff going on behind the scenes.

I'll be waiting for the English Release: The Professor and I on Summer Vacation

I'm glad you took out the statement that 'All the dates are Welsh' from the Cons section as that's just plain rude.

It would have to be an 11 as that's a Prime number.

People seem to forget that manufacturers are still struggling with chip shortages after Covid. I highly doubt that a Switch Succesor will enter production before 2024, so a 2025 release year is more probable.
Also, with the state of the world with war & looming recession amongst other issues, I think Nintendo will be very careful when they choose to release the next console. They have a wealth of back catalogue titles and other games waiting in the wings that will tie them over until then.

Oh my gawd, I have to read?!? What is this, primary school?!
I'm glad it doesn't make my GC copies completely redundant then. Looking forward to the remaster!

Nintendo: Go go gadget Direct!

'Please understand, this Direct will focus exclusively on all the games that will no longer be available to purchase once the Wii U & 3DS shops close. Please took at a look at what we're taking from you.... Switch Click noise'

I tend to buy digital Switch games for games I get the most playtime out of / make use of online features, so Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Smash etc. For everything else, it's physical.

Sigh I was really looking forward to the trials and tribulations of being a Tetris block in love - a really nice rom-com with Jennifer Aniston

@martynstuff the correct plurification is Legi, which derives from the Danish word Leg-GÏ meaning Well Played

@jowe_gv I'd hardly call that a trailer, more of an announcement with a couple of stills, which doesn't bode well for a release this year, but you never know though, they may surprise us yet!

A fairly quiet release schedule after ZTotK, with one or two nice surprises from third parties. After the closure of Wii U & 3DS shops, I suspect we might a see a few entires like Mario vs. Donkey Kong & Doctor Mario / Luigi pop back in to existence & another re-hash of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon in Q4. Doubt very much we will get any major releases like Pikmin 4, Metroid 4, but we might be lucky and get a few ports / remasters like the Metroid Trilogy and Wind Waker to fill some gaps.

Wargrove scratched that itch, but I will still be getting this when it finally launches. Might be a 'wait for a sale' one for me though. So much to play, so little time.

All because the Inklings love Cadbury's Milk Woomy

@Expa0 Option 1: Turn off the internet to avoid free gifts being delivered whilst playing.
Option 2: Offset the travesty of receiving help items by playing on a dance mat or by wearing boxing gloves.
Option 3: Leave Earth in a spaceship and nuke the entire site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.
All in jest bud! I personally hate it when overpowered items are provided as paid DLC, so it's basically pay for an advantage / head start. Obviously there's always the choice to ignore, but as you said, a NPC / Notice Board like they have in FE Heroes would be the best choice.

I give Fire Emblem for the N-Gage a solid thumbs up or thumbs down; basically a Schrödinger's severed hand in a box. It arrived in the post today, I've updated it, bought the season pass & sometime when I have the willpower to play something other than Wordle or Plants vs Zombies, I will let you know.

I thought the 'The release condition for Deep in Abyss mode has been abolished' issue had been resolved in the previous patch? Maybe that was just Steam...

I haven't any bad experience with LRG. Sure, you have to wait quite a long time after placing an order as it has to be entered into production, otherwise I've had a good experience with their service to the UK. Some of the commenters on this thread seem to forget that NL have affliate links with Amazon, a Company I have far more problems with due to their business model / working practices & their treatment of staff.

For those wanting to play this game, stick with the GameCube or PS3 versions (former for FPS, latter for content).

Love spicy, buuuuuut who doesn't prefer cake & chocolate?!

Getting some serious Princess Bean vibes from Anya Taylor-Joy there! Plus, Jack Black... wow... could be an antagonist from the Running Man ^_^

Hate to say, but this build is very... grey. I would prefer a large Guardian build.

FINALLY. Only got to play 2 of these, and that was in the Splat Test.

Sigh for collection purposes, of course I want them, but I'm not paying silly prices on eBay, especially for a naff font. Will stick to Steam with mods. Hopefully they will do a re-release down the line as I'm sure they will want more money.

Will be interesting to see how the game sales / reviews pan out as it's not been a good year for Warner Bros.

'Too much water, too many bugs & now too many floating heads' - Pokemon can never catch a break.

Awww, I was hoping for a Michael Bay style origin story, where we find out Mario & Luigi are from space.

@Classic603 Yeh, along with the massive Game Boy in the thumbnail and title 🙄

Waaaay too many MK Tour tracks & not enough proper classic tracks.

So glad they finally found it, it was keeping me up at night*

*I very nearly did a joke about early morning wood, but thought better of it.

Underwhelming discounts... some are the same as previous ones, some are more expensive than usual. The only few decent ones are games I've already picked up sadly.

Loving Splatoon 3, but I sure do miss the new Splatfest levels. I didn't even get in to a single Tri-colour event this time either after they nerfed it sigh

@ThePizzaCheese No no, not independent, something like a guaranteed eShop Platform, tied to your account forevermore, with the ability to buy VC titles that can be played on future generations of hardware, as well as current hardware of course. I know, I know, it's wishful thinking, but can't you talk to your Uncle who works at Nintendo?

@ThePizzaCheese Brilliant, so I can play all those games I bought for the 3rd or 4th time there on my Switch and subsequent consoles?
