So did Gameseek ever put more Switches up for pre-order or were they just farming email addresses?

I like the miserable controller looking at it.

More prominent shoulder buttons and better ergonomics I think. I don't think I'll be bothering with them, at least not initially. Just see how I get on with the doss set up.

 

I think I'm likely to spend 90% of my time playing the switch on the couch with the joy-cons, as I found the split set-up with the Wiimote and Nunchuck very comfortable and natural. So I think the clips will stay on unless I need to charge the controllers, or if I'm trying it out on the bus.

Looks like something from Homestar Runner

Been playing Doshin the Giant all weekend and so realised don't need a Switch any more.

 

Until it's released for that, anyway.

Bloody hell Steve  good spot on the controller

Old Time Hockey is coming to the Switch:

 

 

[Elseb]

I'll buy Old Time Hockey for the switch, though the release date is later than other consoles.

They really do need to make another Mario Strikers game.

Quick side note for all the Shovel Knight talk: describing Plague of Shadows as an expansion is super generous, it's the exact same levels, just a single new character to play as. Absolutely not worth £10, thought it was a nice unlock when finishing the game. No idea if the new spectre knight one is more than that.

According to floor plans posted over at NeoGAF, Nintendo is planning to be at this year's E3 in a big way.

 

Spoiler

 

[Alex W.]

Isn't that the same basic allocation Sony and Nintendo have had for years? It looks the same as 2016.

[revlob]

You know what, it is.

 

They used all that space last year for Zelda. It's not going to be enough this year. It'll be like trying to put a cork in a volcano.

ah fuck... in the space of 20 minutes, Amazon have gone from guaranteed delivery to out of stock...

 

Asda in Hamilton aren't getting any in... this is going to be a difficult week.

 

We're a nation of arseholes

 

I work in another shop in Hamilton and I had a guy in the other day with a Hylian Shield backpack. Was that you?!?

[Stanley]

This year will be all about Mario. They need that game ready for Christmas.

[the_debaser]

I bet Mario is finished. Just sitting there, waiting to be unleashed on the world when we've finally got over Zelda. 

[MidWalian]

I hope they don't use their space JUST for Mario and create a New Donk City.

[Mallet]

I hope to see a big Xenoblade stand, I have some doubts that we will see that game this year in Europe unless they are translating as they make the game?

Four more days of work until I develop a serious case of the shits. Cannot wait for Friday.

E3 will be all about Nintendo. Third party after third party announcement for the Switch and Nintendo themselves are gonna be showing a slew of new software and peripherals including cool coloured Joycons.

I've booked Thursday off now, I need to play some of these old fashioned games on PS4/Xbone before we move on to Switch gaming

Still have my GC plugged into the living room TV!  Might play F-Zero GX later, come to think of it.

 

(GC picture's rather shit when connected via S-video, mind.)

 

I've been blasting it the last couple of days, getting back into cornering proficiently and that. 

 

It's an utterly demanding game, absolutely relentless. The adrenaline alone is rewarding enough, but add on actual success with a cup or a v.hard story mission and there's nothing else in gaming that comes close to that feeling.

They have. It's out on the 10th March on the 3DS.

Whilst they will seem like dinosaurs imma keep hold of my Xbox One until there are some decent driving games on the Switch. Probably next year I'll get it stuffed and mounted.

[Flub]

For some reason I've spent the weekend playing Dragon Age Inquisition. Can't wait for Friday. Got the day booked off for sweet sweet Zelda goodness.

One of my very favourite games: its sublime.

It, or essentially it anyway, is part of Mario Sports Superstars, yes.

 

 

[Fatsam]

Yeah, a weak looking stripped back version with none of this
