I got an X-box-Switch-Combo. I like it. Of course I would looooooove to buy a PS-4 too, but you know: wife, kid, BACKLOG.... Nintendo is my home. So I have to choose the secondary wisely. I'll wait at least 12 months before I buy a second new generation console. I'll decide by the time then. Still lovin Spencer, though. Right mindset, but a bit too less output gameswise at his company.
Off Topc: Man, I wish I could meet up with my PS-buddies these days. Staying inside sucks. I hope everybody here is somehow getting along in this situation. Feeling with the loners and the ones married with kids. I'm rather in my position. But both have hard times. Let's keep it all friendly and hope, people from different platforms lower their swords. Looking forward to the next gen. Peace!
@N64-ROX Hi, I bought the mini version and played virtual Racing with it. The pedals are analogue. You have to preset the gas with the right analogue stick. If you use the arcade steering option, every little movement of the wheel is tracked. In Normal setting, it always goes 100% left or right. I think it's worth the buy!
@Ooyah it depends where you live, I think. Here in Germany XXXL is quite huge, but as far as I know it's way smaller in the US. Never been there (though I'm planning to). But I worked in fashion and heard about it.
Edit: I do not want to offend anyone. Just trying to say, there are other fits in different markets.

I simply love Nintendolife! Thank you guys for all the giggles!
Hello there lovely people! In my opinion, NL has to report on this. It's Nintendo after all. They did report and keep on reporting on the subject in a very objective way. @Scully1888 did never neglect the fact that the pay to win prices and loot boxes are a big jump on a Goomba. And we all love Goombas, right? In my opinion, the score is too high. A 4/10 would fit. But that is MY opinion. And I don't have any mentionable expertise on mobile games. Maybe @scully1888 does. Or doesn't. It doesn't matter: To the retro consoleros this might be an offence. But NL has to go with the time. And I can't understand that some folks are getting that irritated about reporters doing their jobs. It got a 7/10 if I rember correctly. And for a mobile game it might be just the right score. Even if I and some other people, who I would really want to have beer and a round of real Mario Kart with, do disagree.
@sportvater replying to my younger self: played it every night since launch.... two weeks? Or three? It doesn't matter: it's crap. I LOVE Nintendo. But this is crap. De-installed it just now. Never coming back. Maybe it's the controls, but the force to be lucky with the right party time in races to get enough points is ridiculous. Believe me: it sucks. Don't waste your time like I did. Peace
I like it. But hoping they will transfer the new tracks to MK8. It's a nice little teaser for everyone who hasn't got a switch yet and will lure gamers to our community. Thumbs up! And a seven hits it. Thanks for the review.
Edit: It's shit after all. 2 weeks in and it's boring. Plus the rating depends on luck as well. With no "Party Time" in a race you simply can't get all the stars. Super annoying and stupid. I would rate it 3 out of 10.
Nintendo sucks mobile. Again and again. Ridiculous pricing. I wonder who takes decisions for this over there. Should get fired, that person. It's a shame to the company.
It doesn't matter. The game is bad. Give us the original. Who understands SEGA? they keep on bringing out the wrongs Sonic is no icon anymore. The hedgehog died a long time ago. SEGA has lost all connections to the fans, sadly
@Barbara001 actually, this is the first article or poll on NL that really annoys me. I hope someone from the editor team (great job btw. Normally. Honestly.) Reads this and sees the confusion they created by this. Hoping there will be some learning. Greets to you Barbara! 😁
@Cosats absolutely right about that. I'm a reader since 3 years now and it's still super annoying to me. Please change that NL! And thanks for all the good work! But please change that!
The poll is bs. If there really were 10% with severe issues, there would someone be complaining in the comments about it. Bullocks. Either people who didn't read that this is about the Lite or trolls.
@earthb0und no. You have to compare. And if it sucks in comparison, trying to be what it's not, it sucks. People are allowed to compare games. Especially if they try to be of the same kind. We are not talking about music. My thanks to NL. Sorry for the developers. But they know. Try harder next time.
And one last thing to everyone downvoting @anti-matter for nothing all the time: why? If you don't like what he is posting, push ignore. I know, the NL community is better than this. I seldom post but read a lot. Especially in the comments. They are very thoughtful, funny and nice mostly. I enjoy them a lot. So please keep it up.
@Alucard83 that I don't know, of course. I think one would have to experience it by using. I got big hands. But I know what you mean. I like the concept anyway. Plus, I don't know why: I like Microsoft. Since a the Xbox 360 they at least tried to be open minded for niche products (like the controller for handicapped people) and less profit orientation (backwards comparability). I feel that MS takes a lot from the Nintendo spirit nowadays. So I say: bring it on. Having my games on the go is always a plus. As I said, I see your point
Do you need to read a walk-through while playing or is it perfectly possible to beat without? I always have my doubts when it comes to final fantasy... cheers for an answer
@Anti-Matter @all what's wrong with his comment? It's his opinion and he did not say it's a bad series. Downvotes are for trolls only. Merry Christmas everyone!
@SenseiDje It seems to block it half-way but it works fine. Played 4 hours of Pinball FX tonight: no troubles or device getting hot. I can totally recommend this device!
@Pod What's your favourite movie, then? SMB3 is one of my favs as well. But movie-wise I'd have to say Jurassic Park (if only take my childhood-days into consideration)

Re: This Switch Arcade Controller Doubles Up As A Charging Dock
Ok, you can wire it as well. But the stand should be able to hold the switch in tate mode. Maybe it works? Well, it DOES look very cheap.
