Re: Fast Fusion Price On Switch 2 Puts Welcome Tour To Shame

Pre-ordered. I want to re-live the switch 1 launch. Be blown away by the visuals in Botw, jump in for some hardcore racing with FAST - this time we get some new Mario kart goodness to go along with it. Also F-zero for good vibes on the side. If anything my worry is that I won’t have time to play everything!!

Re: Talking Point: Everyone Else Is Busy Revealing Switch 2 - What Gives, Nintendo?

I am still holding out hope that the leaks are fake, or are not revealing the whole picture. An iterative approach is fine, but that isn’t necessarily the Nintendo we know and love. I love Nintendo because of the random, the out of the box thinking, the innovation. If it just higher specs, I’ll still be buying, but I will be a bit disappointed .

Roll on the true reveal!

Re: Random: Metroid Prime 3 Dev Left Retro Studios After "Unhealthy Relationship" With Nintendo Micromanagement

For sure echo the majority of the comments, the minor details make Nintendo games… whenever a Metroid game comes out, we all stare at the shoulders, what do they look like in this game? Slightly strange comments and sounds like they needed to go work on their own stuff. Also saying that working with the low tech of the Wii also makes me question them… just because graphics aren’t top end doesn’t mean you can’t make a top game, again, Nintendo show that regularly.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?

I learnt my lesson from my Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS... where I sold my collection to upgrade for the next console. Criminal. Never again. Slowly I am building those collections up (for twice the price minimum). I shan't be trading any switch games in thats for sure!

Re: Poll: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Free Epilogue Lands On Switch Today, Will You Be Playing It?

Having been a die hard Pokémon fan since blue and yellow, this was the first game that I haven't completed. I didn't even make it into the crater! I have also not bought the DLC. Maybe a just feel a bit burnt out.

Despite the open world feel, it felt like a backward step compared to Arceus, and the bugs and jankyness just put me off. Fun for a bit, then just... meh.

I might pick it up eventually, but we shall see.

Hopefully the next game will pique my imagination and reenergize my love for the franchise!

N.B. This is my own experience and I totally get why people love and hate the new games.

If there are any reasons to dive into the DLC - let me know!!
