You can definitely do this, so if you find a years sub for £30 - £40 elsewhere you can just buy it, add it to your existing sub and it will extend the date by a year.

Yep, pretty much my thoughts, also it's worth noting that he didn't turn the stick sensitivity up. Straight after the intro, I turned motion controls off and stick sensitivty to maximum and I've found that works best for me. Now, motion control on the Wii? That's different... playing Metroid Prime Trilogy for instance with motion controls, actually pointing the device toward the sensor bar in line with the TV screen... that works well for me. But when I've got a traditional controller in my hand, I tend to find that motion control is only really good for secondary aiming, such as when you adjust the throwing arc before chucking a grenade from cover using a PS3/PS4 controller in the Uncharted games, for me that feels more natural. If motion control works for others in Splatoon 2 then that's all well and good, but don't go counting out those of us who just use sticks as I'm finding it to be far from anything like a disadvantage and more like a default way to play well in online matches.

Do you have anything in or around your setup which could be causing signal interferance? It's an odd one, that's for sure. I think we got our Xbox One consoles around the same time - you likely had yours before mine though - and I've never had any controller issues with mine. With the Switch Joy-Cons though... we know there is a known issue with some of them connecting to the console but the fact that they had been working perfectly until now, suggests that there might be an outside factor. Let's see if we can figure this one out, with N-Europe on the case, we'll surely figure it out or at the very least debate it to death.

I finally got to play this for an hour, I've had it since Friday but couldn't really play until now. Well, it's what I expected, Splatoon 2 is the same as the original but more streamlined, with faster loading, refined gameplay elements and is still a hell of a lot of fun to play. Personally I'm just amazed that it runs on the Switch so well, I can hear the system fans going almost constantly to the point that I'm almost scared to play for too long just in case my console overheats at all but it's probably fine. Of course I had to turn the motion-controlled aiming off as that just didn't feel right, just like on the Wii U but aside from that, this is the most fun I've had with a Splatoon title to date.

Annnnnd after that session, guess which Kart I just unlocked?

It's me, I don't have it unlocked.

Uh oh... I've just seen that list and I've got £50 credit to spend on the PSN store, obviously this is a good thing but... it's going to vanish pretty quickly.

N-Europe Review Here it is, see what our very own @Kaepora_Gaebora made of Splatoon 2.

It is vastly superior, it runs better, looks nicer, has all of the DLC on the disc, you can play the multiplayer on it but obviously on your PS4 so it's more relevant/easier to play with friends and it has an extra difficultly mode. Ah so it's the PS3 Super Slim then seeing as it has a top-loading drive, if it's the black-coloured variant, is the 500GB model, is in reasonable condition and hasn't been anywhere near your N64 Rumble Pak... then we may well have a deal. If and when you decide to sell it anyway... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hmm, now to get back on-topic... I completed What Remains of Edith Finch a couple of weeks ago, so I guess that counts and you can add me to the pile of people who have played it on here. For some reason I thought it had been out for ages but it's still quite a new release, I get all these Narrative-Driven games confused, but hey! Since playing this I'm now at least a partial convert and have even started playing Dear Esther as well. As for more... consistently interactive games requiring more button presses than story and walking simulation, I haven't played much due to being ill but I have been replaying Castlevania: The Adventure for some odd reason... I was out for a couple of hours one day and had my 3DS with me so... anyway, it's OK for what it is, I wouldn't bother playing it without save states, though one day I should really get around to playing the Wii Ware remake while I still can. I've been playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild of course but then who hasn't recently?

Why don't you just buy The Last of Us Remastered on PS4? I tried to play it on the PS3, it was the game which almost killed my original model console, didn't quite take to it, got it on the PS4 and loved it. The you can either play Portal 2... or don't - I have it on the Xbox 360 and still haven't played it - and sell your PS3 if you're eager to do so. Incidentally... which PS3 is it that you might be selling? If the price and the model is right then I might even buy it off you for my brother if you were looking for a quick sale or trade or something. Anyway, that's just an aside... the main thing is, please do play The Last of Us on any platform you can as it's brilliant in its own way.

The other day I was looking for the physical version only to find it didn't exist... if it had been available one disc for £30 then I would have picked it up once it has the single player stuff added. Indeed that might actually happen, I gather... so disc version with all the latest content at £30 and I'll be there.

Of course it went live when I had to go to the Doctors... Just as well I got one with GAME the other day and the amiibo from the German version of Amazon at extra cost... So it has come to this Nintendo. Ah well, day one either way so can't complain, plus I got a regular copy for the collection and a T-Shirt.

Nintendo UK Post E3 Event Roundup Here's all the impressions from the other Switch and 3DS games which @Dcubed got to try out recently. My personal contribution being some banners, images and a few snarky comments. Enjoy!

I was wondering about this, I think places will only be selling them until stock is exhausted, then perhaps rebranding, I might be able to still some at the store where I work though if you need one? Sadly it's one of the few things we don't get discount off though due to it being classed as a gift card.

That's awesome news Josh, I'm really happy for you and Hernando. You both look great together.

Back in stock at Tesco Direct... https://www.tesco.com/direct/nintendo-classic-mini-super-nintendo-entertainment-system/649-8711.prd?skuId=649-8711&pageLevel=sku This is because any order over ONE PER ADDRESS (presumably per account as well) will have the excess cancelled, that's what I get for trying to order an extra one for my brother. (I only ordered two) Anyway, grab one now if you haven't got one or want to secure an extra one for a family member or friend. I don't think limiting the amount is going to deter the hardcore resellers though, don't they just have multiple accounts set up with different addresses all set up to an algorhythm or something? I'm sure that's what happened with the NES Classic Mini. Oh well, it might stop people buying fifty at a time, you never know.

So I typed in "Sonic the Hedgehog Bongos" into a search engine and this is what I got... It can only be described as Sonic FMV & flash in glorious quality coupled with "The Bongo Song" for your viewing pleasure. Anyway... Happy Birthday @Josh64 I hope you're having a fantastic day filled with Sega, Simians and... Seaman! Large YouTube videos are large... enjoy.

Annnd gone... for pre-orders to last over half an hour, that's surely got to be most of the allocation, certainly for online in any case, I reckon some might be sent to stores but I don't know any Tesco store which stocks anything at all or at least anything significant which is Nintendo any more. Certainly not our store anyway, unless we've still got that one Wii U console out back still but I doubt it as that'd be taking up valuable warehouse space.

They are still available on Teso Direct half an hour later... perhaps all the allocation has just been put up all at once? Either way, best to get one now if you can. Direct delivery only, no click & collect so it might be online only at this rate.

These sold out quick on Tesco earlier but they are back in stock now, they must have cancelled the orders which would have been for large quantities or just got more stock. Either way, go,go,go!
