After Fast Racing Neo got a physical release (with the DLC) on Wii U, I wouldn't put it past some digital releases getting physical editions down the road again honestly. Going to be careful with digital purchases for that reason. Double dipped with FRN and won't be doing it again on Switch (until it's 100% not to come physical)

When is Digital Foundry's breakdown of the hardware due...?  been looking forward to that for a while...

They're struggling to find anything negative to write. Give them time. Richard Leadbetter is waiting for his lead suit to arrive from Fukushima so he can block the Joycons signal and write about that.

I was listening to a podcast and one of the questions was what's your favourite things about the system so far. One of the answers was how quick and easy it is to play a big AAA game like Zelda, you just put the game in and play. There is no hours long install, no day one patches to download so you can just put the cartridge in and play :wub:

 

Maybe it's just me but that is a huge appeal for me personally.

That's a pretty great launch line-up. Fucking love Shovel Knight. And I normally hate that old fashioned looking bullshit.

Does Shovel Knight come with the original game, or is it just the Spectre of Torment game?

 

I've never played Shovel Knight, and it looks like it might be a pretty sweet alternative to BOTW for when you fancy something a bit more linear.

Quite. I tried to install Gears of War 4 last week on my XBone and left it overnight and it still wasn't done. Went to work and came back and it still wasn't done. Didn't bother playing it in the end. 

 

Sometimes you think the games industry is trying to sabotage itself.

Agrh, Argos have screwed up my order. Now I have Zelda coming at launch, but no Switch.

I only ordered the neon switch a few days ago but my order from argos is still on track. I wouldn't be happy with them cancelling when you pre orederd before me.

Sounds like you are downloading the update at the same time. I think its about 11GB.

CDKeys has £25 eshop credit for £22.80 at the moment. Not a huge discount, but it's rare to see eshop stuff discounted at all. Knowing CDKeys the price will go up on switch launch.

 

Grab a 5% of code here.

 

Then buy the credit here.

Done! Thanks - if you grab 2 I got a bigger discount as two transactions. (£1.20 off each - rather than just one £1.20 off- thats not how % work cd keys :P)

 

also after was told 2.2% quidco http://www.quidco.com/cd-keys/
