Alolan Pokémon have been added, both though a lot of special stages as well as through 30 new Main Stages.

In short, yes, I did. :P Upgraded enough hearts to not get one-shot by normal enemies, and then I hated not being able to scale certain mountains without eating a lot of stamina-food. Cooking is boring. And since my goal is to get all Shrines anyway, I will get fuil stamina and full hearts at some point so I just upgraded stamina to be able to move around freely. The upgrade from 2 to 3 wheels didn't feel as needed, though.

My progress: ~45 hours, 60 shrines, 9 hearts, 3 full stamina wheels, 1 divine beast, 101 korok seeds, 5 memories, most of the map unlocked. Currently getting some more hearts before attempting the camel, since its boss is supposed to be hard. I've found 2 great fairies and one horse god "fairy".

Good to hear. How long did it take you to reach 99 %?

Of course, but they could have added more or cleverer enemies, added some secrets or something else entirely while still keeping the original game.

So - is the game still good? I really want this as I loved the original when I was a kid (though I never completed it). But looking at it now, it looks a bit easy and straightforward. It appears that the only really good thing about this update is the visuals and sound, the rest is not updated at all.

Isn't it rotating who gets the best spot each year? Last year it was Europe, I think, then this year it's US and then next year it's Japan. Or some other order but that's the principle, I guess.

Hopefully a release date for Yooka-Laylee will be announced. I believe we will get ARMS & Splatoon 2 release dates and another indie reel. That's it.

"A friend from work" had me cracked up! The enthusiasm was great! Hopefully this is better than Thor 2 but it looks quite decent.

I think I set a new record in deadlift yesterday. We did 7x4 and I went 110-120-120-125-125-130-130 and I realised afterwards that according to FitNotes, I have actually never done 4 deadlift with more than 120 kg. I was aiming at 136 as that's twice my bodyweight but I could feel that my back wouldn't be able to hold the weight so stopped before. Other than that, I haven't been lifting much over the past six months as I have focused more on cardio and lighter weights for cardio and then more olympic lifts - like clean, jerk and snatch.

Haha, yeah. I've noticed my motivation for reading articles has dropped significantly since getting Zelda! But well. I'll just do it during working hours - reading, not playing Zelda (my work pays for my master so they also give me some hours to do it).

Had a go at the demo of this with my wife when I first got the Switch last week - it was VERY enjoyable although taxing. The basketball level really had us - trying to coordinate it was quite hard when she's not used to gaming as such but we got through it. Will definitely get the full game and play it with her.

I joined the Switch-wagon unexpectedly last week when I got one from my wife for my 30th birthday along with Zelda. I had promised her and myself that I wouldn't get one until I was done with my master thesis in June. Really happy with the console, doesn't seem to be faulty (I've not explicitly tested the JoyCons but I could easily move around in Zelda at 3 metres' distance). Even my wife is impressed with it and enjoys looking at me running around in Zelda.

So is Iron Fist worth watching?

[TWEET]841401474450051072[/TWEET] Seems that The Fractured But Whole may come to Switch.

Plus, the sooner you get it, the less the initial backlog will be. I'm already stressed out by the fact that when I get it in June, I will already then have too many games I want to play along with BotW that will take up a lot of my time.

That's a really nice trailer! But it seems that DC are better at making trailers than making movies so my hype level is not quite there anymore.

New gameplay video with developer commentary: New Hard-Boiled Boss Mode:

Short hair all of a sudden? Alright. Looks interesting. Looking forward to a trailer.

English version:

Of course, I agree, the game shouldn't be more expensive (though PC gamers have always got their games cheaper). As I said, the expense should be covered by all versions not just one. However, I don't want the game to fail as this is probably the publisher's decision and not the developer's. The game looks good. I'm going to wait for a discount as well but if anyone wants the game at first, get it for another system or wait for a discount. Both sends the message.

Really? That's a bit harsh. Especially if you actually want the Switch to be a success. Grey Box has commented on it: Source: http://nintendoeverything.com/grey-box-on-why-rimes-switch-version-costs-more/ Seems to stem from the fact that Tantalus is working with them as well as spending more time on it due to Switch being new hardware that needs to be learnt. That extra amount should have been spread over all versions, of course. No doubt about it. But stating that you hope it fails? Nah.

Of course the flaws are a problem but it seems to be blown out of proportions as all consoles experience defects at launch - it really can't be helped. I hope, however, that Nintendo will handle the left JoyCon problem - one that I see as the biggest problem since it's most likely hardware related - a bit more professionally in the future rather than saying you shouldn't play near an aquarium... that's not good enough. Bad wi-fi is hopefully fixable via software updates and docks scratching screens seems more likely to be human error than anything else - bent docks are a possibility too, I guess but seems weird. Furthermore, as Debug_mode correctly said, people with fautls complain the loudest and thus the percentage of faulty units cannot be approximated from the information available. I'd like to hear the absolute numbers on these problems.

New update rolling out today, including Hard Core Mode. Looks.. hard - and core!
