Nintendo Switch Discussion

Never even notice/not personally bothered although I understand from your explanation it is clearly an issue!

The thing that I really love about the booster pack courses is them making the lap changes to classic tracks like Kalamari Desert and Peach’s Garden. Hope we see a few more tracks like this to come. I can also see them adding a few more characters at some point. Pauline seems to be one they are wanting to use more nowadays.

Don’t play online often so that explains that. I’m never leaving Toad behind anyway, even if I lose every race!

New Zelda now £60 RRP, some shops still have it for £50 at the moment so if you were on the fence get the pre-order in.

Any links to the £50?

I take it that’s boxed rather than digital?

Yep. Boxed all the way. Easily sell it for £40 after completion.

Instabuy. Comfortably in my Too 5 all time.

May have to pony up for Switch Online. Super Circuit is my second favourite Mario Kart (after the original). All the others play differently for my taste.

Snuck in a quick order last night after Ninty announced the $10 price rise.

Nintendo also revealed that Link’s next adventure will carry a higher-than-normal price tag: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $69.99 when it launches in May.

Fair enough. Too used to getting burned on conversions of late so assumed the UK price would go up too or that the discounts would disappear (which they’re starting to!).

Yoshi’s Island track in MK8 looks very good. Wished they showed a few other tracks as well, but it probably isnt coming for a while anyway. Happy to see they are indeed adding new characters as well.

Bit confused with the Splatoon DLC. It just seems to be a new hub world which seems a bit strange to be paid for.

Loved Professor Layton as a child and was so happy to see him on that trailer!

Tears of the Kingdom looks brilliant. Really cant wait to play this one.

You must mean HD.

I found it heavy going. The boss fights are rubbish. The story is just plain weird.

Missed a trick with it, imo.

HD and I completely disagree. Reslly enjoying it so far. Controls slightly annoying at times but thats really the only bad thing ive found.

Controversial take - up until I played Breath Of The Wild, Skyward Sword took my top spot of all Zelda games and that was even before the HD Remaster came out with the QOL improvements.

I think it’s a truly incredible game, a remarkable story from Nintendo, and the sky island mechanic works beautifully (which, I imagine is why they’ve returned to a similar theme in Tears Of The Kingdom).

The Koloktos boss fight is one of my favorite moments of any Zelda game, and also the fight with Demise in the circular gardens of the Temple of Time.

Also, if anyone finds any UK retailers with the collectors edition of ToTK, let me know!

Controversial, but each to their own.

Personally, my Top 3 are Link to the Past, Ocarina and BotW. In that order.

Each is fantastic in its own way, but they all built on what came before.

The best choice.

I’d love a remaster of Ocarina of Time, like the Unreal Engine 5 project floating around to play on Switch.
