They made a huge mistake going down the toys for life route. It meant it was too expensive for their target market, and put off a lot of potential customers from other markets.

I was tempted at £20 but with more Starfox content I think I'm going to give it a go.

To be honest, they could have made the figures without being connected to the game via NFC, as they are some quality looking figures [not that I have any, but a look in GAME earlier gave me a close view of them]. But then that would run the risk of not getting enough exposure. Or it could have proven a better success as then the game wouldn't be tied to toys-to-life which would probably have put the game into more people's hands, which would have catapulted the exposure of the series and it could have spun into a whole merchandise-based series of items.

Connecting the Arwing and switching the weapons up is pretty magical though :wub:

For sure it's impractical, but I love my plastic Arwing :lol:

Isometric golf games are a bit of a weakness, I'd literally kill for a Switch version of Sid Meier's Sim Golf.


This looks like it could be quite addictive! I’m hoping What the Golf! comes to Switch soon as well

I'll be happy with the Resident Evil collection whenever that gets a release date and even though I have access to them all on PC I'd love the Dead Space games for on the go.


do you want silent hill on the go.

Xbox Game Pass on Switch rumour as told by GameXplain.

All this stuff of Xbox on Switch is really gaining fuel with these rumours that I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen. With the recent change of Microsoft Studios to Xbox Game Studios, it really does seem as though something is being prepared behind the scenes that will explode into the public eye real soon.

It’s great to see, it’s an exciting time for sure, you would never have dreamed something like this could happen a few years ago!

The people porting over Hellblade must be seriously strawberry floating pissed right about now.

Sega Ages :wub: Played so much of Outrun on 3DS.

Grabbed Phantasy Star in the sale today and it's one of the most staggeringly improved retro rereleases I've played. Between automap, faster walk speed, fast forward, incredibly comprehensive pause menu item+weapon+spell glossaries and a mode to significantly reduce the grinding...it's without question the definitive version of the game.

Only real gripes are lack of turbo button and the scanline filter desperately needing a boost in brightness. Regardless I haven't been able to put it down :wub:

Collected 1100 coins now in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and I’m still waiting for the one frame I normally use to unlock (pipe frame) :(

I don't know about anybody else but I've always found the Switch uncomfortable to use in handheld mode and it's one of my only nitpicks with the system. I gave the Go Play grip a try which seems to be the nearest thing to an official option but found the rubberised grips uncomfortable and the general build of the plastic on the back is quite flimsy, it always feels like it could fall off. In addition to that you can't dock the Switch with it on so I've found myself barely using it.

Been on the lookout for ages for a grip option which is comfortable to use and can be used in docked mode, finally stumbled across some on Amazon which I ordered on a bit of a whim due to the lack of reviews. They arrived today and I have to say, if you're in a similar boat to me I can definitely recommend them.
