Cardboard is actually surprisingly strong, especially if the object in question has been well designed: Knowing Nintendo’s attention to detail and quality control, I don’t think there will be much to worry about with LABO. The stuff shown in the trailer looks very solid indeed.

Love it. Reckon it's going to earn Nintendo some serious brownie points too, what with it being both environmentally friendly and educational. It's amazing how this really dips into their past as a toy manufacturer and brings back concepts from unreleased games as well, it's like the stuff they were making in the 60's and 70's. Genius.

Here's another classic for you to enjoy:

Yeah, that aspect of the game was great and ridiculously addictive, going to be a really good fit for the Switch. I've no plans to get the Switch version though, so our rivalry will have to wait until the next original DKC game comes out.

Amusing moment from the Splatfest: I love this game.

Team Action here, should be on at the start (3pm), as usual. Loving the new stage on this BTW, some nice little details in there and the layout is pretty cool too.

Shame there’s no Switch version though, I really struggle to go back to 3DS now.

Looking forward to this starting up again in a couple of weeks. Have a theme suggestion for you @Glen-i, how about merging 2 of the most entertaining N-E MK themes? Wario and Bob-omb only with "Smart" Steering? Would be truly spectacular I reckon.

Was reading through the thread for the Wii U version earlier. It's funny seeing the initial reaction to the game again, and reliving my obsession with Tingle being a playable character!

Forgot about Star Fox. That’s actually another game I’d consider buying a Switch port of, seeing as I never did get around to playing it on Wii U. So yeah, that brings the total number of rereleases I’d be interested in to 3.

I agree with @dazzybee that it’s currently not looking so great for the big Nintendo fans that supported Wii U. Really did hope there would be more in the way of brand new stuff hitting Switch soon. And while I picked up MK8DX and would almost certainly get a potential Smash 4 or Super Mario Maker port, there’s no other Wii U titles that I’d want to buy/play again on Switch. So yeah, with Kirby and the other stuff not really appealing to me, that basically means it’s just Mario Tennis on the horizon at the moment, and based on recent titles in the series that could unfortunately go tits up too. But like I said before, it’s great stuff for newcomers and I’m sure these Wii U rereleases will sell very well on Switch. Of course that also means less incentive for Nintendo to get original titles out there in a hurry, so I guess patience is in order once again.

Had a quick go on the demo, was curious to see how it would compare to the PS4 version. It seems pretty much identical to me (although it has been a while since I played it) apart from a lack of antialiasing, and it appears to run just as well. So yeah, looks like a great port. Just a shame the game has those issues I mentioned before, I could easily love this otherwise (and would’ve potentially double dipped on the Switch version) with just a few tweaks to the gameplay. Will probably keep the demo installed just to randomly build stuff, it’s more fun than the full game for me anyway.

This looks really nice, but no online play is a serious downer. Mind you, if the online from Kirby Battle Royale is anything to go by that might be for the best.

Good luck to anyone replaying this, that’s all I’ll say. Will be great for newcomers though, I kinda wish I’d never played it on Wii U now.

Never played this (Dark Souls II was my first souls game) so I’ll be keeping an eye on it for sure. This game will be so at home on Switch though, such a great fit for quick pick up and play die action.

Please be good. If the story mode is up to scratch, and they don’t mess up with online features then this could be a right classic. Fingers crossed.

Cannot wait for the update on this. Odyssey’s replayability is about to go through the roof!

Not bad. Great to see Mario Tennis returning with a story mode, really looking forward to seeing how that one turns out. The Super Mario Odyssey update looks like a right laugh, as does the Mario x Rabbids DK stuff. I got no interest in those particular Wii U ports, but it’s great that more people will now be able to experience them on Switch. Anyway, a decent enough mini direct. Definitely didn’t live up to the level of hype that was going down yesterday, but that was always going to be unlikely.

That hype thread on resetera is something else. Absolute insanity. NOA’s twitter winding everyone up is the icing on the cake.

I’ve put an obscene amount of hours into this game since it officially launched. Currently at level 50! And ditto on the My Nintendo points, still the best way to spend those. Really hope something from Pocket Camp will transfer over to the Switch AC game. Crafted furniture would be nice, or bells.

I wonder why they designed it like that. Obviously they want to avoid people accidentally powering down their Switch, but you’d think the standard hold down power for 3 or so seconds would be long enough to prevent that.

Cheers for the games last night, would like to have played more but I was seriously tired. Still wondering if I really did score a hat-trick in one of those games, or if It was a dream. That was definitely a much more enjoyable 2v2 experience though. You’ve really got to manage attack and defence well in that mode, much more opportunity to actually get the ball too, which is nice.

@Kav your Switch should power off if you hold down the power button for long enough. Mine has also frozen a couple of times and I remember having to hold down the power button for ages before it would actually do anything.

... I think it has crashed. Cheers for the games, was hilarious.
