shyguy64 did you get gold nugget in animal crossing new horizons today.

Gamexplain visual comparison between old Mario Party and Superstars:



Which begs the question... Why couldn't they have given Mario 64 this treatment in 3D All-Stars?!

I know the answer is that their audience didn't require a visual upgrade to persuade them to buy 3D All-Stars, therefore the resources required for such a job could be used elsewhere, but still.

What could've been.

Nintendo are clearly holding back a lot of complete titles including botw 2. They are stretching out their releases with remasters and mini games that the casuals will buy. I also think that wind waker and twilight princess will get single boxed releases at full price knowing them. The game and watch zelda was a final insult that no one really wants.

[Drumstick]

Gotta reach those corporate stretch goals somehow.

I am so into ARMS right now. It's such a battle of wits, I love it.

Great game, I hope they do a sequel in the future and add more modes

Yeah, me too.

It's so underrated! It's a shame they didn't put more into the single player campaign (there's so much lore outside the games) but when you get to a decent level in the online, it comes into its own. Battles can get really tense and so satisfying when you win.

Exactly, getting into a good battle with someone online is great.

Tried the demo and loved the vibe and designs (though some of the post-match bits and so on were a bit quiet?) but couldn't quite gel with the wrists-up motion controls. Is that the best way to play or do you use the more classic schemes (couldn't try them in demo)

I always played without motion controls which were more than fine. I dont think the default controls were that well laid out but they added the option to remap.

I also find the motion controls work really well. It's an unusual way of holding the joy-cons. Once you've figured that out, it's 'spring-a-ling' time (as Springman would say). Still, it's not for everyone, which is perfectly fine (the best games often aren't in my opinion).

It only really becomes enjoyable once you've got a grip of the mechanics and how to fight half-decent. I still suck at the game, but as Tomous said, it can be an intense and satisfying experience! Train hard and discover your inner Springman.

Is anyone else still having problems downloading stuff?

[Choclet-Milk]

Is anyone else still having problems downloading stuff?

Yep, still getting that error code as of last night.

[Victor Mildew]

Same here. Bomberman R won't download.

[OrangeRKN]

It's really bad that Nintendo haven't fixed this yet. They will surely start losing money from people not buying games because they can't play them.

[Victor Mildew]

Didn't buy Wii U so didn't play the games, buy the Wii U games on the switch but can't play them.

FUUUUUUUUU

[Balladeer]

I downloaded a bunch of games from the sales and haven't had an issue.

[Dual]

Is anyone else still having problems downloading stuff?

Yeah. I purchased Cities Skyline and Monster Sanctuary last night.

Cities has downloaded but MS keeps getting the error message.

What a joke Nintendo are.

[DarkRula]

I changed my DNS settings as per this article and it seems to have done the trick https://kotaku.com/some-switch-users-can-t-download-games-after-recent-fir-1847082519

[Victor Mildew]

Thanks

[Robbo-92]

It’s just the one Switch Pro actually.

Is Cities Skyline any good on switch? Has anyone played it?

I own it, having never played it on any other formats. I think it's great, though it can slowdown once your city size becomes quite large

I just finished downloading it. Also never played it on anything else, really looking forward to having a property city sim on a handheld - sewage management whilst I'm on the loo

I'm enjoying this! Took me a few false starts and a YouTube tutorial to understand what was going on but yeah it's alright for £8!

Must say it runs much better than Civ VI which is probably the only comparable game on the switch I've played.
