Same thing happened with my Conkers Bad Fur Day cart. Really annoying part is that I've still got the box, manual and inserts, just no cart.

I lent my mate a couple of PS1 games and he copied them.

I was furious at the time as I was never asked and felt like it was a dick move.

I don't really see the issue here, you got the originals back right? So it wouldn't have affected you at all. I grew up in the 80's where everyone copying each others spectrum and c64 games was just the norm.

It was like 25 years ago so I'm over it but it was effectively stealing, done without my permission and done under a false pretence of asking to borrow so they could play them knowing full well what they were going to do.

I think I had the right to be annoyed at what 13 years oldish age I was at the time.

Hopefully, Nintendo are going to be true to their word in a meaningful way that they will improve and expand the Expansion Pack. Instead of saying that and then just having be the drip-feed of those remaining games and that's it. Hopefully one other console is coming. With them saying they have plans to expand both original and expansion tiers, I could definitely see the Game Boy games go to the original tier while GBA games get put on the expansion one.

I highly doubt they've changed plans as a result of any backlash

What for think they might revise the whole strategy when things start to go wrong as they did last time?

I'm really enjoying the expansion pack and for me at least being able to play Starfox 64 and MK64 anywhere on my Switch is well worth £35. But having said that....

I get why some people were a little upset. The original Switch online was about being able to play Switch games online with Nes / Snes games being a bonus. Actual online play hasn't been improved and if Expansion pass is meant to be a Netflix style subscription service there is a fairly small selection of games currently available and they're supposedly not great emulations (not that I can particularly tell the difference). If they're holding games back because they are trying to get them polished to be the best emulation possible then fine - but if they are just throwing them on in a below par state - don't drip feed them give us more games now.

I think it was Feb 2022.

What! :cry:

I've been using the right analogue stick for the C buttons in OoT and far too many times have had to quickly lob a bomb away when intending to get my hookshot out! I was waiting for the proper controller before starting Lylat Wars but I might just have to go for it and accept that I'll be banging out U-turns when I want to loop-the-loop!

I think the stick should suit Lylat Wars more than it does OoT, ship control makes some sense on a stick.

I would agree with you if it was based on an analogue style of motion control, but (if memory serves) it's a single tap to perform a full manoeuvre.
