I don't mind content being released after a game comes out but I do mind when unlockables are tied to having to play at specific times I love Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf Super Rush but it bugs me that I'm required to play them every month in order to obtain new colours or costumes for characters. For those games, it doesn't take too much time to get what you need but then we come to Nintendo Switch Sports and every week there's a host of new things to try to unlock before the time runs out. It's made all the more irritating by the fact that I can't obtain points by playing with friends or that there aren't any fun single player minigames that could also have allowed rewards to be obtained. Again, I like the game (despite it ultimately being something of a disappointment so far) but to add yet another game in Mario Strikers that I'll probably have to play every month to not miss out on anything? It's becoming too much! My time is seriously limited enough as it is and, to reiterate again, while I like all these games, I hate the pressure. There are loads of other games I want to play and in some ways I just feel obligated to keep playing these select few titles because I don't want to miss out on anything really. Even now, I'm still wearing the same outfit I wore on day one of Nintendo Switch Sports, though I think what it'll end up coming down to is that after having missed a few Tetris 99 events, I stopped caring about having to have all the themes. I was only ever playing it for those! The same will happen in Nintendo Switch Sports and no doubt when I have my desired lineup in Mario Strikers I'll not be quite so bothered about missing out on gear!

Was half expecting (well, considerably more than half expecting..) to be raked over the coals for not appreciating and embracing yet another media darling but found your appraisal of it oddly comforting 😅 I didn't enjoy the game anywhere near enough to warrant doing any of the extra stuff after the credits rolled. In my mind, it's done and I came away perplexed at how it was ever being talked up for Game of the Year when it came out. Pleasant visuals and humourous premise aside, the game itself was, like I said in the tweet, tedious and I was somewhat relieved when there wasn't any other scenarios to explore beyond what was there. Dare I even play Gris..? 😖

I love football ❤️

I hate football. I wish I didn't care this much 😖

I got it physically but I'm hopefully giving it to my brother next time I see him and I'll download it instead. I just know that I'll be more likely to play it regularly if I don't have to go switch cartridges!

Bloc Party were a huge influence on my musical tastes for the best part of a decade from the middle of the 2000s. You never quite knew what to expect from each new album but there was always something to appreciate and enjoy about each new release. When Gordon Moakes and Matt Tong left and were replaced, it seemed to me like my interest in the band was likely to drop and this was proved when Hymns was released a few years ago. Some of the songs have grown on me since then but it just wasn't the Bloc Party I knew from before! I'm not one of those people who continues to clamour for a return to the 'Silent Alarm' days, something that gets brought up any time Bloc Party release any new music. I largely appreciated the evolution of their sound over the years, to a point, but I did feel like it was probably over. It's with great surprise and delight that the new album, Alpha Games, is actually very enjoyable The singles that were released in the run up to the album coming out, namely Traps, The Girls are Fighting, Sex Magik and If We Get Caught, hinted that there may potentially be something here but even then I suspected that if this was the best Alpha Games could offer, it still wasn't likely to reach the heights I would hope. Thankfully, songs like Rough Justice and By Any Means Necessary have proved themselves to be early highlights so far but I find myself enjoying pretty much everything on the album. Even songs where some of the lyrics and singing can feel a little uncomfortable for me (I'm looking at you, Callum is a Snake ) there's still great stuff in those songs and I wouldn't skip them on a playthrough! I know @Fierce_LiNk was also a bit of a fan of Bloc Party back at the beginning so I'd be intrigued to see how you find their latest effort!

All jokes aside, I've only had the chance to play a few games of tennis, a game of bowling and a 1 v 1 in the football. I'm interested to see what happens when I explore it further but what's on offer honestly seems a little disappointing so far..

It's a bit boring, though, isn't it..?

Hasn't the kid suffered enough..?

I hadn't seen any impressions of F-Zero X on Switch before I fired it up this afternoon and, to be honest, the performance was immediately questionable. For a game somewhat renowned for being 60Hz, the frame rate seemed off straight out of the gate. I'm definitely not a frames per second snob but I can't recall ever noticing anything like this in any previous version of the game I've played. I'm glad it's on here (goodness knows Switch could do with a few good racing games other than Mario Kart) but it does make the non-existence of F-Zero GX HD all the more frustrating!

The time for Wave Race was day one!

It's great to finally have a date for Majora's Mask because it means we're a step closer to revealing the next N64 game that might actually be worth looking forward to It's time for Pilotwings 64!

Definitely been thinking about it while it's still on sale at £24.99 on eShop..

I ordered the physical version from ShopTo on eBay for £35.88 so hopefully it is worth the risk at that price 😅 I'm not much of a GTA fan at all but I'm mainly buying the game for Vice City. I tried to play it when I downloaded it on PS3 a few years ago but it was so blurry that it was barely playable. Having fired it up yesterday, that's definitely still the case. In fact, it's worse than I thought! As long as the Switch version runs to some sort of acceptable level, I'll be happy enough. If not, shouldn't lose too much from selling it on!

I enjoyed every second 🤣 My only disappointment was that we didn't go for the kill in the last half hour and make it a complete humiliation!

With the way Ultimate Team is, I can definitely see why allowing save files to be copied or backed up would be restricted, unfortunately! Thankfully, I think @markderoos done a complete system transfer, removing his data from the original Switch and that seems to have worked so I will hopefully take care of that tonight and finally see the OLED in action!

Can anyone help me really quickly? I'm trying to transfer data from my old Switch to my new OLED and keep my old system but when I do that I can't transfer certain saves (like FIFA 22) If I go back to the beginning and transfer my user and select that I'm not keeping the old system, will those saves transfer across or will they still not carry over and I'll end up losing them completely this way?

I woke up to an email saying mine will be delivered on Monday 😖

Me too
