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.

Yep. I think this was a great move because MK8 was basically the definitive version of all the Mario Karts that came before, so there was no place for an MK9 that did the same thing with just some new tracks.

This is the natural evolution of the series and fits it into the gaming landscape of 2025, with online hangout play for friends and a world to live in. Nintendo will have seen from animal Crossing (and minecraft/fortnite etc) that this is how kids want to play now and its frankly what they expect from their games now. It looks like an absolute blast.

as long as they're different i'm ok with it. Hall effect is not the only way to solve this problem its just as usual the internet ha got hung up one one idea being the be all and end all and decided for nintendo what they should be doing. I have faith nintendo have worked out another way.

Cross progression? YES.

They wont make another MK for like another 10 years likely so is it really that bad? I don't like paying £7.50 for a pint either but the reality is prices have gone up, and the yen is weak and the tariffs are about to get mad. It's not nintendo's fault everything is going up. They cant live in the 2010s just because you want them to..

@TomSupreme Don't think there isn't a need for a minecraft movie, but there isn't a need for THIS clueless version of a minecraft movie made with a bunch of actors young kids have literally never heard of and are old enough to be their grandparents, ha.

ugh why isnt it a sequel. its not GTA V guys, its just yooka laylee, just make a new one!

a nonsensical decision, all that is going to cause is a ton of headlines like this and outrage online, and then lower sales. what an own goal.

How can they not just do decent graphics, still? Remember GTA V came out on PS3, there really is no excuse!

this is one of the all time great soundtracks

They lost the deal with netflix as well didn't they. Not giving me much faith to be honest but hope they can cook something up good.

Its mad that EA doesn't properly support Switch EA FC when its the best selling version in the long term... hoping for a proper version on Switch 2.

GTA V and RDR2 on Switch 2 would be fantastic.

Really hoping for RDR2 as a launch game! Would love to play that again but on the go. Amazing that its even possible.

Haha Genki just said, f-this we're not waiting any more.

i just want them to bring back StreetPass!

Here's an idea. How about making a new Rayman? Wild I know.

@HammerGalladeBro

They've done this before which would have been lovely- I remember seeing sketches of Mario levels from miyamoto himself in the NYC store back in 2014, so its a shame that they haven't got any of this.

super excited for this one.

The sequel is great and if you haven't played it you're missing out. Lets hope he joins nintendo officially!

take my money. again.

Funny how everyone talks about PlayStation and Xbox as the main platforms but the Switch just quietly keeps printing money. It’s the real no.1!

Utter morons. How can the takeout from making the best selling single player game of 2023, the first to beat Call of Duty in like a decade I might add, making well over a billion quid, to be to convert it to a failed live service like Suicide Squad, which has like 400 players on steam.

These execs have never played a game in their lives. I'm just sad that Hogwarts Legacy will be the only good Harry Potter game i'll probably ever play. Let's cherish it. What a crying, crying shame.

Just open a bloody shop in London already.

Don't see how on the one hand analysts keep telling us video games are the biggest growing industry in the world, and then saying no, no growth possible with Switch. Have they not seen the success of the Mario movie?

Nintendo has the most valuable IP in all of gaming, and ever other investor like Embracer are just destroying the value of their IP. They'll be fine. We're three theme parks deep already.

Weird.

I'm old enough to remember the days when no games came to Nintendo systems, so although I know the majority is shovelware, at least developers are bothering to port to Nintendo.

Let the good times continue with Super Switch.

18.5m x £60 a pop on average and we’re talking just over a billion quid just on one game.

Mario movie probably hasn’t hurt either!

Nintendo’s had a SOLID year….

Not the best I've ever seen, as others say, very grey. Don't think this will make it to production, but hopefully an official Zelda set soon!

I want a Mario snowman.

Still the greatest open world ever made. It’s not even close. It’s genuinely open.

The physics system just holds up no matter what you throw at it- I’ve never seen anything like it.

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good. It's been years since a competent tennis game was available.

Don't get me wrong, I love Splatoon, but I just don't understand how Nintendo have given us 3 Splatoons and still no new Mario Kart in the same time.

It's time Nintendo!

There are just too many copies of the same formula now.

Fish, Farm, Mine, Chop Trees, Sleep, Repeat.

Can anyone think of a new mechanic to add to the mix? No-one seems brave enough to try something new.

Whoever does I think will reap the rewards and stand out.

I wish Mario Kart 8 would get this attention.
