@NintySnesMan Thanks for pointing that out. Being portable doesn't warrant an extra point in my book. I knew Metro gave it a seven which is still a good score.
I much preferred this news first thing Monday morning. It used to help brighten up my day, reading all the moaning comments about how bad Nintendo's eshop is and how green the grass is over on PSN.
@G-Boy I had horizon zero dawn for a week. I traded it in because cex were giving €52 cash. I got it in a bundle i bought. It's pretty cool and i fully intend to buy it again when the price is a bit more reasonable.
Gorilla games are imo one of the most talented developers out there right now.
@fafonio I don't mean to put a dampener on it but I'm not seeing the brilliance. I hope it's good but all I see in another indie game. I'm not known for buying indie games
I don't think Rare were making games before I was born. Thanks for thinking that though.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I have not been proven wrong. I actually did go into GameStop in Navan a few months ago. I was looking for a brand new PS3 console as a spare. Their site clearly showed they had it in stock in Navan. I think it was the only store in Ireland that the site showed had it in stock.
In i went, not a word about it. They had none in stock. Moral of the story; GameStop website is not to be trusted or them either.
@subpopz I see that your not allowed address a certain individual. Unless you apologise sincerely and it's accepted? For what it's worth I found your comments very entertaining. I feel like we're being "Scammed".
This is insane, talking about the stock levels of Switch in Ireland. The reason I'm saying this is because I feel SLIGEACH_EIRE is trying to give the impression that Switch is doing really bad in Ireland and it's not.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Why do you think Argos get the best PS4 deals. I've seen Argos selling; a ps4 console, a copy of Horizon zero dawn and an extra controller for 250euro. Never seen a deal that good in Smyth's. Because Sony is Argos's best friend because Argos are shifting Sony consoles. I wouldn't think Smyth's sell more games than Argos.
Argos stock is not in public view so I don't know what you're on about.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Do you really think Smyth's sell more consoles than Argos?? I don't think so. I don't know about GameStop as I don't step foot in the place.
I'm not lying. Argos are sold out.
I live in Ireland and i can tell you Switch is near impossible to find. Argos is probably the biggest retailer in Ireland selling video games is totally sold out.
@BornInNorway81 I understand why you think spring scientifically is from them dates. Using my logic spring scientifically should be from 5th February to 5 May.
@Henmii Oh. If anyone is guilty of NOT playing 3rd party games on their Wii u it's me.
Now that you mention it, my Wii u did lock up a couple of times playing COD black ops 2 on Wii u. One of the very few 3rd party games i have on it. I barely ever play it and it did lock up a couple of times. On one occasion i got computer code on my screen when it locked. I would see that as a software issue, not hardware.
@KiWiiU_Freek
Your worse than me. I bought a brand new Wii u 2 weeks ago. In case anything happens mine. I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing. €200 it cost me. The Mario kart bundle.
@Nintendian "With few games on Switch, everyone is praying for old games to be ported. This is just so pathetic, Switch is going to become a used game bin."
We're all entitled to an opinion. My opinion is; your opinion sucks.
@MrGawain The ps4, Xb1 crowd will be invited to buy a Switch, but where I think Nintendo will focus, is on parents. They will be the big target in the future when the price is right. That's where the big sales could come from.
I know Nintendo have a cunning plan with Switch. When Switch gets a nice catalogue of games; this takes time for every console. One of the biggest problems with Wii u was Nintendo couldn't cut the price. That problem will not exist with Switch. Right price some good games, it's going to fly. Fly baby fly.
@Jeronan Dude. There is hardly any stock in Ireland. A few Smyth's stores have limited stock. Switch is doing really well in Ireland. Hats off to Nintendo. I think they have a winner on their hands.
@Action51 Mate. You can probably get a Switch in Ireland but they're not readily available to the extent that poor unfortunate beggar is trying to make out.
@roadrunner343 Most ps3 games don't perform anywhere near this level and there's never a word about it. I think there's a bit of playing up to Nintendo using underpowered hardware.
The only place I've experienced dips is the village and the stables.
I don't know why the game is being picked apart. I'm really enjoying it anyway.
@roadrunner343 No i just wanted to know if you had the Wii u version, because then you would know yourself what it was like.
I have put in at least 15 hours on Wii u and I'm serious it perfect. There are minor momentary frame rate dips in the village. The Wii u is not struggling. This talk about the graphics not being great is absolute rubbish.
This kind of review is making it look like Wii u is struggling and I'm sorry but that is 100% no true.

Re: A New Patch Is Available for Breath of the Wild on Switch
The update is also for the dead system; Wii u. Such an effort i had trying to free up 250mb on the Wii u usb. It's only 32gb and I've the 8gb Wii u.
The struggles i do have. 😫
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (Europe)
€20 for Snake pass! Not on your nelly. I seen Yooka laylee for pre-order on Xbox store @€40. That'll be another no go zone for me either.

Yeah sure. They have such a pedigree!!
I'm being sarcastic...
Re: Playtonic on the Development Progress of Yooka-Laylee on Switch
I might pick it up sometime if it ever hits the €5 mark in a psn sale.
This game is promising so much i can smell the disappointment.
Do people who back the game get any benefit for doing so? I personally don't know how to even back a game. Or is it lose lose all the way? 😉.
That about sums up the mood this morning.

I don't think the 8gb was discontinued that early. Anyway I've an 8gb Wii u bought May 2013 and never had an issue. Thankfully.
Contact Nintendo and ask for a repair quote. Sounds like you were really unlucky. Probably a very easy fix though.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)
@roadrunner343
I going to ask a stupid question. Have you got this game on Wii u?
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)
I'm not impressed with the way this review is written. It's trying to make out the Wii u is being pushed to its limits with comments like;
"It's clear that the Wii U is labouring to deliver a solid performance"
and
"but we should acknowledge the strain the game puts on the hardware."
The game is fine on Wii u. The way this review is written you'd think the Wii u was limping home with smoke coming out of it.
What i want when i read a review is honesty. I'm not getting that here.
