Yep that's what I'm worried about, the easy multiplayer nature of the Switch. Thing is, there's tons of multiplayer games on it (Kart, Smash, Tennis, Splatoon, Arms, Party), I'd rather they keep Zelda as a core single player game.

I really really really hope it isn’t a co-op spin off game. Four Swords and Tri Force Heroes just aren’t Zelda to me. Id love to see either a top down game like ALBW or a MM style console game reusing BOTW assets. Might be a bit too soon for the latter though.

Pokemon who take part get more xp yep

I've spent pretty much the whole day playing this, so addictive! It looks gorgeous tbf, I was a bit on the fence about the visuals, but it's really polished and vibrant. LOVING the lack of random battles, and catching Pokemon using the Go mechanics is surprisingly fun! Also my Pikachu is adorable. Way more so than any of yours. So there. *Looks over at Red Dead I really need to get back to... picks up Switch to play Let's Go instead*

I’m probably the only person in the world who hasn’t played Red/Blue/Yellow, so this’ll be a good way to finally experience it.

Urgh FINE! Add one more sale to that total lol I blame you all. I was trying to save money

I think the extremely positive word of mouth + the Christmas rush will keep this selling for a long while yet.

Those numbers are hugely impressive, especially given the much lower installbase that other Pokemon games had to rely on. Apparently hardware sales had a big boost in Japan (at least) First weekend

Extremely.

Not to keen on the KKK stuff, it's pretty juvenile and fits far better with the tone of GTA than Red Dead. It just feels really out of place, to me at least.

These look especially great tbf

I suppose it comes with the territory of being an early adopter but that's still crazy. You'd hope PS5 will come with the tech inside it and the next PSVR will be a bit less convoluted.

Wow. I had no idea it was that bad, wtf

I was on the fence about getting this, as I played both the original game and the Luigi DLC on Wii U. Then Nintendo just announced the freebies they're giving with it and I'm like ... *clicks pre-order* https://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-switch-game/new-super-mario-bros.-u-deluxe-pin-badge-set-poster-map/11974360.html?utm_source=mario-bros-u-deluxe-pre-order-now&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mario-bros-u-deluxe-pre-order-now&affil=thgemail&ecrmcid=lX2YdBwJ6z5MQ2zxD2pQOq14KxDbGpjE&shae=WpNJVYAjbkUzShni1aEo4zNDEk5UKsYr4ZLe9%2F3%2BkN8%3D&sendTime=1542657000&widget_id=1212287

The higher up menus look ok I guess... better than past games like you say. The main spirit screen on the other hand, is probably the ugliest UI I've seen in a game, well, ever. Anyway, the main point I was trying to make referred to the overworld map in World of Light. Hopefully it'll look a bit better in the final game.

Reports seem really positive. I know it doesn't really matter but I find the ugly world map a real turn off for the World of Light mode. If they wanted to just use a 2D image and simulate depth, fine, but I can't get over how low resolution it is. Looks terrible. But then so does most of the Smash UI generally, Sakurai's obsession with the boxey graphics is getting really old.

Yep that looks great!

High praise indeed, glad you enjoyed it.

I finished Dead Cells!!!! On the train!! haha. I got to the final boss maybe 4 times in total, the first 3 times he utterly destroyed me but this last run I was so overpowered I only needed to heal once out of five . Really great game, even though I'm pretty sure it's just @drahkon and I playing it from here. The traversal, combat etc is tuned to perfection so when you're on a roll, the game flows and feels great. I didn't really feel I needed to bother unlocking too many weapons to be honest. Found a great rhythm with the ice and fire bombs and just used those together with a fast main weapon. Didn't even use the sub weapon I had.

I need to stop reading how much people love the game on here and ResetEra, it's making it almost impossible to resist getting it...

I really hope they keep that for the Gen 8 game. Oh and the no battles v wild Pokemon thing too.

Wow. That’ll sell another million or two
