I've had to retrain my brain in the last few years to stop equating time spent with value for a game, because it's not about the amount of time spent but the quality of that time. But if I spend as much time with this as I have with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (not including the Wii U version or the additional DLC) then it is absolutely worth the asking price. Do I like the idea of having to shell out £75 for the opportunity to find that out? Absolutely not, but here we are.

Useful if you want to remap as it gives you more options, all of my third-party switch controllers have these, but they can't make them specific required inputs for different games because all other controllers don't have them. Where are these buttons on the joy-con? I wouldn't be able to use my current pro controller if the back buttons were required, even though my other 3 controllers have them. Great if they're optional, rubbish if they're necessary for certain games.

That's only around £1.25 per character, what a bargain!

I still have this downloaded on my 3DS, and that currently still functions, so I have no need to get this, but glad others will be able to play it. Key card though, oof.

The console price is reasonable to me, with the improvements made over the original and inflation it was likely to cost that much, but yeah, I do not want to pay £75 for a single game so I will search for ways to get them cheaper. Whether that's on digital deals, second-hand, or another method altogether, I will only pay what I feel is acceptable for what I want.

I don't plan on getting one, but if I do I'd rather get this one as it just looks lovely.

The cynic in me thinks they've priced it so high to push people to pay for the higher priced bundle with the game included, £35 is much more reasonable than £75.

And any game that uses this I will not buy physical, might as well find cheap eshop credit and buy digital.

This was my favourite surprise announcement of the video!

This is so ridiculous that I could actually see someone developing this for real (apart from the obviously real company mentioned here anyway)

It instantly sends a single word message to everyone in your friends list, a certain word beginning with C that I cannot mention here for fear of being banned. Nintendo are going edgy in the next generation.

This is very tempting, but am I looking for something a bit meatier?

I have the mynintendo version with the extra stuff (desk mat, stickers, keyring) waiting for me at home, and I will be back from work in about 15 minutes, I cannot wait.

With how some people react to and treat devs online I absolutely do not blame them.

What is wrong with people? (Takes my $70,000 losing bid elsewhere)

Keeping my expectations tempered, hoping for a lot but if I convince myself they'll only give us a release date I (hopefully) can't be disappointed.

I'm Totodile all the way, unless Chikorita's regional form/mega evo is amazing (if they have them anyway)

Welp, another (tenuous) excuse to get back into it again!

Whether I get it at launch or not, mine will go to my daughter.

This will inevitably be my most played Switch game this year, and will be competing with Monster Hunter Wilds for most played game overall. Cannot wait.

This caught my eye, but the asking price is too high for what I can essentially get elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. One for a sale perhaps.

I tried the game on PS5 for free, it was just a much worse version of a Lego game, without the multiplayer to even have a bit of fun with younger gamers. I'm not sad to see it was a failure, but again it's the people who had no influence on the project direction who are punished for its poor performance.

I didn't get a Switch until the OLED was out, and I had the choice between the original and the OLED. For the reasonable price increase it was worth the upgrade, so if they released both versions at the same time I'd probably do the same, but it's not important enough to make me buy another console later on.

Hopefully those affected can find sufficient and, more importantly, reliable work as soon as possible. It's a shame to see this so frequently.

They mean a good impact right?...RIGHT?!?

Why oh no? What bad things could people possibly do with this?

I only recently picked this up but it is a blast, happy to have more of it to enjoy.

Astro Bot managed to reignite my love of 3D platformers, and I am now very excited about the next ones from Nintendo and many others, and even about revisiting some other recent ones now I'm back in the mood for them.

But I love the Nontendo Swetch!

I planned to pick this up on PS5, but I'd rather have it on the Switch 2 if it runs well enough.

@FullCustard thank you, I was really struggling to find it through the website

It's not actually going to be a button, but a small window that shows treasured childhood memories when the system detects you are feeling upset or stressed.

@Bex_Tries I loved it, played it on Wii U but never ended up finishing it. It's worth tracking down.

488 hours, top 3 were Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Unicorn Overlord & Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but I think Unicorn was my favourite of the year.

@Ooyah I'm surprised too, yeah it's not going to set the world on fire but it's a good time

@jorel262 I salute your good taste

I'd be happy if this was an 'upgrade' as opposed to a brand new console generation, just a more powerful and fully featured Switch to have more capability, but if it's a brand new generation it's a bit bland.

If only I lived in Japan (and had any relevant skills or experience in game development)

@Tempestryke That's Hasbro in a nutshell to be fair, no consistency in quality at all. I love the X-men and TMNT collabs myself, the second Jurassic Park set wasn't as good as the first but is still decent. They've done a few GI Joe crossovers now, but most have apparently been very disappointing.

I am a sucker for Transformers crossovers, but Sonic looks like nightmare fuel (perhaps tied with original movie Sonic) so I may avoid these.

Sometimes it's a good idea to have different names in different regions...just saying...

This was a great time when I played it on PS4, but please can their next game be called 'House' and just be a game about the everyday life of a house cat. And then possibly 'Meer' and go all out on a desert setting to live as a meerkat.

Started this one a while back but was distracted by other releases, good enough reason to jump back in.

Monkey See mode could be really cool in handheld, especially if there's gyro support to move the camera.

@Hal9001 Oh I know, they're well within their right to go after anything they have reason to believe has 'stolen' their ideas/designs etc. It just has me questioning the authenticity of the sentiment if they don't start targeting all other 'clones'.

@Arehexes Precisely, there's been plenty of games that have done things other games have done, including those developed by Nintendo themselves. Why are they focusing so much on Palworld now?

I can't say for certain that Palworld didn't infringe on any patents (I ain't no lawyer) but the way Nintendo are targeting them rather than the likes of Coromon, Nexomon, Temtem, Cassette Beasts, World of Final Fantasy (the list goes on) shows there's likely more to it than just the principle. Obviously not saying I want them all to be sued, just an observation.

It should not be news that a game with 'vampire' in the title has added vampires, but here we are, Poncle have done it, and I love and respect them for it.

I have been waiting SOOOOOOOOOO long to be able to play this again, absolutely cannot wait!

I always come back when there's a new DLC released, then lose a few weeks of my life to the game again.

"Get the tissues ready" I didn't think they could put those kinds of videos on YouTube...nope...never mind, I get it now.
