What a colossal waste of money from microsoft to pay so much for something they have basically already killed immediately. shareholder culture is ruining the gaming industry. Where is the shareholder value in that?

yesterday i was playing the latest Assassins creed at 40,000 feet on a plane on a device that weighs just over 500g.

Simply put, its brilliant.

We. Are. SO BACK.

@roy130390 same, cant wait to play a full blown AC on the move.

ill be getting both, but might wait for a shadows sale.

People who complain about the slow gameplay just don't get it; its the whole point. You're meant to feel slow and methodical in this world, its not a Japanese RPG or Assassins Creed where you sprint around everywhere, it wasn't ever meant to feel like that. Life in The west is meant to feel hard, slow and full of effort. Its a fantastic game and the slowness only makes you feel the narrative more.

Just give us MKW nintendo you fools!

Yep, been saying this for years- lighting is way more important than polygons, in the same way that a movie looks better than a serial tv show, even if they're shot on the same cameras.

I reckon someone will make an emulator that can fit in before long, looking forward to it.

i'm confused, is it the same game as PS5 or not? like is the physics and animations and feel of the gameplay idenitcal? ( i know the frame rate isn't, but if its Ps5 at 30fps then thats all i want!)

i'm hoping its good, but they way Nintendo just chucked it in the middle of the direct just makes me feel like they have no faith in it. lets hope it turns out ok.

@Warioware yeah im all for difficulty but tricks like this are just unfair and frustrating, and only hurt players who aren't using guides to get through the game, (ie: playing it properly) don't know what they were thinking.

i just want it running well in handheld. on TV i would always use PS or Xbox instead. but for a bit of fifa on the go, i hope they can pull it off, even 40fps would be fine on the VRR screen

Ok, ill be getting this now. Perfect for on the go.

@ShadLink sadly true.

i don't understand why EA doesn't support FC properly on switch, its half the bloody sales every week! so so lazy. Hope FC26 is a proper version.

always wanted this one as a kid, so super excited to finally get to play it.

@dugan Thank you!

i have just had a baby, its like they heard and made the perfect product. TAKE MY MONEY.

oh please bring back Unity and Syndicate i'd love to replay them. Peak AC.

i will buy this, but the asking price for a over 7 year old game is too high at the moment, will grab on sale.

Will 100% buy when it’s patched

I don't agree with it but I get people's frustration, nintendo are so opaque so people feel like this might be the only way to get to them. I don't understand why they STILL don't get online can have more than one mode. its 2025!

Well frankly with 4m sold this is a lovely problem for them to have I’m sure they’re very happy.

This is what i wanted it to have from the start, now its a must visit.

four second places. its killing me!

@MarsOne Looking at all time european sales though switch is at 38m in europe and playstation at 27m.. Yes, its closer, but still switch dominating over the past 8 years.

@Stwert yes i agree modern games struggle to run on it. 100%. But if i was running a game development business shouldn't I be targeting switch over anything else? The market is 3x or more as big if I can crack it. (Honestly, its no wonder cross platform games like fortnite and minecraft are so so successful and why something like Marathon can't get off the ground.)

@jamesthemagi 150m switches around the world would kinda tell a different story, but I know Japan is slightly different yes.

mad when you see it next to PS5. Still at 6.6m (inc digital) and switch is already 1/6 of that in a week.

Just look at Switch 1, basically at 35.6m. wow.

Why does the games industry only focus on Xbox and PS5? Switch is so far ahead its not even close.

@Soopaboi07 i was already pretty sure they would hold some surprises back, but this reassures me they definitely have!

I think a lot of us are waiting for a sale price to be honest as these are quite old games many of them. Also after shelling out north of £400 for the console and with its backwards compatibility, meaning redipping into old games, I reckon most people are holding off a bit until they purchase their next game, perhaps till next month when they've been paid again. (though admittedly this will likely be spent on Donkey Kong!)

@ParsnipHero They just threw that one in. absolutely crazy.

Cannot wait until they add Mario Kart World. Its the mario soundtrack to end all soundtracks.

the odd swollen battery happens to all tech products, nothing to see here.

@Pillowpants i got it 37.99 from argos yesterday so definitely worth it!

@abbyhitter this! cant miss what i never had!

ok 1080p in handheld is glorious.

Honestly i think everyone needs to get over the $80 price thing. it want even $80 if you bought the bundle so i really don't understand what all the furore is about. Things are more expensive now, its just facts, from coffee to pints to your car insurance. Thats just the world we live in whether you like it or not, I do not understand all the hate nintendo is getting for this when we all know things like GTA VI are going to be $90 likely. Its not their fault. Nintendo have brought me so much joy over my life i don't want to see them fail, I want them to remain profitable so they can bring me more joy, whether through movies games or theme parks. A world without them would be a worse place and if £10 extra is the price to pay for that then i'm fine with it. Fake internet rage is so passé.

ok, i'm dipping in. only 37.99 at argos at the moment as well, its a no brainer.

mental how nearly half of the list the games are either first party nintendo or third party in the chart because of their switch sales. the idea that Playstation is more important in gaming than nintendo is mad. Nintendo basically is gaming.

Thats disgusting, codemasters is a legendary developer over the past decades. Why buy a studio and then just shut it down a few years later, crying shame. Should have left well alone.

it is 100% happening and i cannot wait

ive got one on order at argos, but who knows if it turns up or not on time. fingers crossed!

london. please.

i hope so, im so ready to relive this on the go in preparation for GTA Vi next year.

if a decent kart game was so easy to make there would be loads of competitors just as good and beloved and played by as millions... oh wait. Mario kart has literally perfect kart gameplay that is never as good in any other game. thats what you're paying for.

Cant wait for mine to turn up.

good, if they don't sue them it emboldens everyone else to get leaky, so i can see why they're doing it.

@GrailUK 100%. And its how it should always be, and we love nintendo for it. Also, you always know with any new nintendo console generation eventually you'll get new versions of all the games, it'll come, at the time its ready.
