    I'm more on the line of thought as @flameboy. The Doctor was a character I identified with and for The Doctor to now be female is just a bit, bizarre. I'll get over it though.

     

    However, conversely, some what @Grazza has said also has an element of truth but not to the extent stated. In striving for the equal showing of gender, which is great, many facets of media have gone a bit too far the other way, making statements and showcases that, if inverted, would incur so much wrath. That's not equality. I'm sure media will strike the balance soon enough :) and hopefully this upcoming season of Doctor Who is evidence to it! I do remember reading that Chibnall wants it to be more ensemble based, and we can tell that's his strength by his writing on Torchwood, Broadchurch and even episodes of Doctor Who he wrote such as Dinosaurs on a Spacehip.

     

    @Mr-Paul, you should check out her episode of Black Mirror "Everything About You", as well.

    I admit I have been (and still, am) against the idea of the Doctor changing gender. I felt it a bit unnecessary, because it really is and only recently has become a thing that Time Lords can do, but I'm accepting this.

     

    However, she's a good actress and hopefully she gets good material to work with. They just better not hang on the changing of genders as a major plot point for the season. Offhand remark then move on.

    Might be USUM related, might not be (my personal opinion is that it's the former, but we'll see). Very intriguing video nonetheless!

     

    It's not.

     

    This is the latest in a long line of Pokémon Daisuki Club mini sites that delve into the lore of the series. They always promote it with a teaser of sorts and then release the site a week later. This time, they're delving into Pokémon that are not of this world.

     

    They have done this so many times and it is just a part of the Pokémon Daisuki Club website. It's not indicative of anything.

    I think the unfortunate thing is that this particular problem - if we can call it that - has been going on for nearly 30 years now; I was watching some old NES and SNES news reports just the other evening and analysts - along with Nintendo's competitors - questioned whether or not they were holding back stock. 

    Though I ultimately believe that these notions are completely unfounded (this isn't aimed at @Ashley's comments, but rather professional analysts and journalists who are serious when they suggest such things) in the case of the Switch - this is a company that just two years ago lost its President unexpectedly and went through a massive organisational restructure, yet has still managed to successfully launch a new and innovative console worldwide in major territories with a great software lineup that has attracted a huge audience: I'm willing to give them a pass - and it simply seems to be a case of poor timing, if anything, of a shortage that no-one in the industry was willing to predict, I do wonder if Nintendo truly would have aimed to produce twice as many Switch consoles this fiscal year if the components were so scarce.

    I don't think they would have because of how the Wii U went.

    Ronnie is right. According to numerous reports, Nintendo are increasing as much as possible, but there are similar parts required as there are to Apple devices and Apple is getting them causing them not to be quite able to manufacture as much as possible.

     

    Nintendo isn't intentionally sitting on this thinking it's a good idea not to have stock.  Yes, they were caught off guard because they didn't want another situation as the Wii U where their launch inventory took a year to sell, but come on. The Switch was a risk, and one that is paying off but these fixes don't come overnight

    Just sifted through a loose translation of the Q and A session, one bit stuck out from Yamato saying "Classic mini series is another form of VC" when asked about VC services coming.

    ...I think. Might need that translation confirming!

    I'd be very surprised if we don't get a N64 mini next year

    It's a really good list of games :hehe:

    While I may not have much interest in playing A Link to the Past again, I've never played Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy or, obviously, Starfox 2. I've also never experienced the SNES version of Yoshi's Island!

    I want all of this on Switch but you can never play through Donkey Kong Country or Super Mario World too many times :grin:

    The NES Mini was filled with games that you'd play once and probably not play again, but the SNES Mini has such a range of content that you can just spend hours on. I am so hyped.

     

    Got my pre-order in on NUK. Also have my GAME one but I may be a dick and scalp that if my friend doesn't want it.

    Been away for the week so not been able to post

     

    But woo, so hyped. Star Fox 2 is something I never hunted down and played through nefarious means so I am so looking forward to playing it now.

     

    Plus it has fucking Secret of Mana

    I misread the Amazon page for the Switch and I thought it said the next batch of stock would arrive on the 25th of July. So I pre-ordered one as well as Splatoon 2, incorrectly thinking both should arrive around the same time next month, but it turns out it actually said Switch stock is back on June 25th and as a result, I got my Switch delivered yesterday morning. So I'm now an owner of a switch with no games to play on it lol

    I've just been playing a few demos but the console itself seems pretty good to me so far. I think I'll buy Blaster Master Zero, as the demo is fantastic.

    Have you considered ARMS? It's a fun game, albeit with a minimal single player.

    Calpaldi has been brilliant for me as well. As far as new Who goes I'd say Matt Smith > Peter Capaldi > Christopher Eccleston > David Tennant, totally understand that my order is completely not the popular choice!

    Na, mine is pretty much the same but swap Tennant and Eccleston.

     

    This season has been on point for the most part. It has had me gripped. I just wish that the big buildup reveal in this episode hadn't been spoiled by themselves. They only revealed it because it was in the "Coming Soon" trailer in the first episode and the media jumped on it.
