I had this happen multiple times, and kept sending them in for repair, and Nintendo would give me a new 12 month warranty period after each repair, but I got fed up and just bought a new pair of Joy Cons in the end. A friend of mine bought a second hand Switch from CeX two days ago and I told him buying used means he may be unable to get a repair under Nintendo's warranty, if he has Joy Con drift, and he said it'll be fine. I was with him yesterday and he was trying to type in a wifi password and asked why the thing for selecting letters was moving down constantly, and I recognised it as the Joy Con drift I'd warned him about. He ended up going into CeX and they swapped the Joy Con for him.

@Jayofmaya He did appear in the 50th anniversary special for Doctor Who, and still regularly does Doctor Who stuff to this day.

So the game contains less content, yet costs more because of the Switch tax? That's just ridiculous.

I am tempted to get the Marvel one and SMM2. I either have everything else physically, or am not too interested. Also, Bayonetta 2 is in the list, and it's on sale right now, meaning you'd end up spending more if you got it and a game less than £59.

@sanderev Oh. I was trying to do it on the website because the button is available there, but does nothing. Thanks for the heads-up.

@sanderev I can see it on the rewards page, but it isn't actually live to allow you to see the available games and buy some.

@Heavyarms55 Trainers are a type of footwear for casual use or for doing sports in. As opposed for shoes, which are often for more formal situations, and other types of footwear that are available. Where do you get the idea that calling them trainers is nonsensical or made-up, when everyone calls this type of footwear trainers?

@JFizDaWiz Thanks. Someone else already mentioned this.

@link3710 Thanks for letting me know. I hadn't seen anything saying that there had been differences found, only the original articles online about it, so this is the first I heard about this.

That's a little odd of Nintendo to do that. Maybe it's a situation like when the SMB ROM used in the VC release was from the internet, and they've just taken an image found online, or maybe it was a mistake.

My moment has arrived to be the 99th comment. Lets not waste this and use it to say something important.

Wooh! Tetris99!!!

I have the grey ones (that came with my Switch) and the Pokémon pair (which I imported).

@BenAV That wouldn't be sportsmanlike.

I have no idea, so I'm relying on luck to get the answer. It's a 1/3 chance, so let's hope I get lucky.

So is the German version of the film being called Heropon Pikachu instead?

@Adrevenue American Switch owners don't have this either. Microsoft has confirmed that dedicated servers aren't on the Switch. The only way you'd have access to them is if you're a time traveller from the future.

@Hunt3r_Cr0wl3y I'm pretty sure @Gold_Ranger was making a Doctor Who reference from when the Doctor met Mary Shelley.

I found an example of the reverse. Physical copies of Wonder Boy 3 were £5 cheaper on Switch than PS4 at launch back in April.

I'd love to take part, but with NPUK's Squid League still on-going, and likely to continue on for longer, due to where my team is currently placed, I'm not sure if I really want another competition yet. Who thought a 21 week long first round was a good idea?

@CaitlinMA That's what the Online Open events are for.

"Will you be playing the Octo Expansion today? What do you make of the upcoming additions to the game? Opinions, share them!"

No, I won't be playing it today because it's not out until tomorrow.

@ShadJV They could do something similar to the Splaton, ARMS and Mario Tennis demos.

@Fake-E-Lee It might not even be that far away. Octo Expansion could be the thing that is meant to be happening on June 9th.

@astrofan1993 Microsoft has already said they won't be doing that because of the incompatibilities. Also, even if they could, they aren't allowing you to connect to server IPs on Xbox One or Switch anyway, due to the fact that they can't ensure that a server meets certain age restrictions and other stuff.

@Yoshi That was confirmed a year ago. The Console Edition will only be available for those who previously bought it though, with all new purchases getting just this version.

@TheTetrisGuy If you've already purchased the Switch version, you'll get this version for free.

@astrofan1993 You won't be able to play your Java servers. This version is the Bedrock version, not the Java version. Bedrock is the name of the version that started on Android and iOS, before being made available on Windows 10, then Xbox One, and now finally Switch. The mobile and Win10 versions of Bedrock allow you to use custom skins and access any Bedrock compatible server using their IP, however the Xbox One and Switch versions only allow you to use skins from the purchasable skin packs (like how Console Edition was) and access servers that have partnered with Microsoft, allowing them to be on there. This means you can't just create a server and join its IP, or access Java servers (the Java edition is a whole different game, under the hood).

When I saw this on the eShop last week, I was thinking it is basically the same as one of the minigames in Vostok Inc and in Kirby Star Allies.

@GameOtaku

To the end user (you), it wouldn't matter. However, Nintendo likes to have a certaon level of quality control over how their VC titles run. They want to ensure they can run in a way that doesn't tax the hardware (which some GBA games could do, die to the clunky methods used), as well as having an interface that they're happy with. Emulating the GBA within the 3DS doesn't work very well, due to the hardqare differences, which is why the hacking community chose to just inject roms into the Ambassador titles, over emulation (like with the really bad quality SNES VC that was made to work on the original model 3DS by the hacking community).

Either Nintendo sticks to their word from 2011 where they said they wouldn't do GBA VC, as well as keeping up the quality they feel happy with, or they can release a subpar product that people like you will only complain about anyway, due to it not being what you wanted.

@Spectra @Angelic_Lapras_King

GBA VC won't happen on the 3DS. Not just because of the Ambassador program, but also because of how the system loads the games. It doesn't work with the way Nintendo wants the VC system to be. Whilst you could argue that SNES VC could work on all models in a way that fits their outline (that outline being a smooth experience and interface, with access to certain features including the ability to create restore points), not even the hacking community has managed to make a VC-esque way to run GBA games (instead opting to run them the same way as the Ambassador titles, which basically involves running the GBA games built into the way the 3DS has DS backwards compatibility, and the DS had built in GBA backwards compatibility (which is the same as why GameCube VC wasn't on the Wii U)).

I played this on my phone last year and it was only £1. It was an interesting experience, but £5.49 is too much for what little content there is.

@Galenmereth Yeah, that's tabletop mode. It makes it so that I can't use the controller I spent extra money on, just for this game.

I hope this fixes the issues with the game not allowing you to use wireless controllers when your Joy Cons are attached.

I'm happy to hear Vroom In The Night Sky mentioned. I'd completely forgotten that game even existed, although it is on my planned list of games to get when I have a few quid to spare. It'll be worth it for the laughs.

They aren't calling the Vita a PSP, they're referencing the fact that you can play PSP games on there.

@ValhallaOutcast
It means that you'd need the dongle plugged into the Switch. It wouldn't be possible to work undocked with the dongle in the dock because the Switch would have no way to communicate with the dock.

@ROBLOGNICK
Some wireless headsets use a 2.4Ghz adapter to connect (like how wireless mice and keyboards work). These adapters are coded to work with a specific headset, and it means that the headset doesn't try connecting to multiple devices at once, which bluetotth headsets sometimes do when paired with multiple devices.

@ValhallaOutcast If you mean thatyou'll have the USB plug for the headset in on of the dock's USB ports, it won't work for handheld. If you mean having the USB plug for the headset in the USB-C port of the Switch itself, then you can be any distance from the dock because that isn't connected.

@Hawkstream Physical games are still a viable thing. They allow you to share your games with others, as well as being a way to sell on games you don't like or don't want anymore.

Just last weekend I was working at a gaming event, and my system was being used for the event. However, the game that was planned to be used was one I didn't own, so a friend I was also working with just gave me his copy, to allow people to play. If Switch games were all download only, that wouldn't have been possible.

Also, having all games be digital only makes the system less future-proof once the servers close. Look at the PSP Go, which is basically a useless device (unless you CFW it) now that the pSP Store has closed down.

@Bunkerneath Nintendo is paying for the travel for any team that makes it. It was confirmed a while back when they announced it.

I used NicoNico on my 3DS, and it has some cool features, like some Squid Sister concerts available by scanning the Callie and Marie Amiibo.

@icebear80 It's actually Nintendo trying to ruin the fun that us modders have with creating our own software.

@SanderEvers It actually is easily possible. All Nintendo needs to do is patch the firmware to allow it.

The last "stability" update actually made some games less stable during video playback for cutscenes. It was more of an instability update.

I thought Cave Story + was meant to be this week too. It's disappointing enough that we're getting screwed out of a physical release, but they could at least give us the digital game on time.

@Jacob1092
With the updated version, all purchases are accessible on each device, so if you activate the Windows 10 version, you'll get the update activated when that goes live. Then you can just use that version as the activated version on your Switch. At least it should do, unless it's only DLC that's accessible with only one purchase.

@redd214
I didn't mean that they might damage it, more that it's just more convenient for them and you. Either way, I hope they enjoy the Switch version.

@redd214
You can just download it onto the Switch. It would be easier than waiting for a physical release, due to it always being on the system, without your kids having to switch out the games.

@Jacob1092
If you have paid for the PC version, you can get a code for the Windows 10 version through your Mojang account. If you activate that and wait until the update, you'll essentially be able to get the Switch version for free.

I just noticed the Minecraft Doctor Who packs aren't on this list. That's a shame, I would have liked to have got them.

@Alshain01 They're part of the series in my heart, and that's where it counts.

Why is the interviewer saying that she's the furst english voice actor for Zelda in a Zelda game? Surely that accolade belongs to Bonnie Kean Wilbur.
