S.C.G

I'm not sure if this has already been posted but, full Switch specs... I'm more than happy with the fact that it supports linear PCM 5.1ch for when playing on the big screen, I just hope that it's more of a standard feature for all games this time where possible. My sound system which is a fair few years old now but very forward thinking for its time has HDMI passthrough and supports linear PCM amongst other sound modes so I'm happy that I can just connect into a HDMI splitter or directly to take advantage of this. : peace:

Let's hope that they finally allow us to play our own music in the background as a custom soundtrack while playing a game, without having to buy into any additional subscriptions.

I managed to play another two hours of this last night, before deciding I'd had enough for the evening. :p It's not a bad thing, just that I can only take so much of it at one time as it seems to take a great deal of planning your progression. Just like in the earlier games, the ammo pickups seem scarce, as are the herbs and chemical fluid which you'll be needing a fair few of in order to survive.

This game man! It's genuinely unsettling when you're simply moving from one point to another, it becomes terrifying at times though. Of course this is a good thing, Resident Evil is Survivial Horror afterall, so far the seventh entry more than lives up to its genre.

Did you get to the...

Yes, a Joy-Con featuring a proper D-Pad is an absolute must for when the Virtual Console really gets going, otherwise how are we to play VC games in portable mode without proper control? Also titles such as Sonic Mania will require it as well so there is that too. Perhaps when GC games get released and the like, we'll start to see some of those fan mock-up type Joy Cons as then they could alter the shoulder buttons as well if they choose to.

It might be fine, could be that it just had difficulty reading that one DVD perhaps? I'm a bit weird with which discs I put in certain devices though so I can't comment having not experienced DVD playback on the machine. I've only bothered to put PS4 games in the drive of the machine, PS3 for Blu-Rays - because of the simple top-loading drive - and DVD's in the PC drive. Try testing it with different types of DVD perhaps? I know they're all the same disc technically but it could just be ones from a particular manufacturer that the machine is having trouble with.

That's odd, I had a look and while I didn't get an error message I did find the review score and synopsis but not the actual review. We might need to redo the game info page on that one at some point, thanks for bringing it to our attention. In any case, you can find the review you were looking for here... N-Europe Review : peace:

This is true. Not only that but ShopTo have taken payment for Yakuza 0, Resident Evil VII and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD. Plus I received Gravity Rush 2 from them yesterday. I really shouldn't play Yakuza 0 without having played the first game should I? I have a feeling it will be sitting on my nice new game storage shelf for a while. With the news that we are getting a remake of the first game, I'm kind of waiting to hear about a remake of the second, followed by HD remasters of the third and fourth so that all of the series is on the PS4 within a couple of years. It's bound to happen, isn't it?

Call me mad but I'm going big for the Switch launch... Everything is pre-ordered, locked in and not subject to change at all. March is going to be "All my months salary are belong to Nintendo" month.

I'm a huge fan of Bomberman, will be buying it on launch day for around £46 on ShopTo and I'm not even mad. Just happy to have multiplayer Bomberman back in what looks like a game which harks back to the good old days of Mega and Super Bomberman. : peace: Here's hoping this bodes well for us getting at least the Super Bomberman games on the Switch Virtual Console as well, if this sells of course which I'm hopeful it will providing it delivers. It has two-player co-op in the campaign as well which is a really nice addition.

And the Wii U version of the game... *I don't actually need it, but the collector in me wants it* ...here you go Nintendo, there's another £128 for you. That's it, I'm not buying anything else in March now, I can't.

Nice, smaller than 3DS carts then, but slightly thicker.

Ah right, I stand corrected, in any case I'll be glad to be proven wrong again in this presentation. Fire Emblem Ciphe TCG sounds legitimately amazing. I wouldn't mind that as a 3DS or Switch downloadable title if the circumstances are right. But as it stands, I would love the idea of a Fire Emblem Radiance collection, if they turn out to be straight ports though, they would need to be released as standalone VC titles as well possibly? I'm interested to learn anything about the Switch VC that I can early on, so I'll be watching this for any clues, in addition to just tuning in for the potential megatons. : peace:

Calling it now, the Fire Emblem Touch mobile game will contain the "Waifu Simulator" that they took out of Fire Emblem Fates. I really hope it doesn't happen but I wouldn't be surprised.

As long as there's almost zero chance of dead pixels on the screen, I'm happy.

I just... can't! 'For all of Nintendo's faults I still love their games Here's the money for their vaults So... ...just hook it to my veins!' :p Just over six weeks to go!

Wow, even the Switch Pin Badges are going for around £20 now. I'm glad I decided to snap one up when I saw it for £12... ...yeah I know, even £12 for a pin badge but there's no way I'd get the chance to nab one otherwise (there'll never be any Switch events in Cornwall) so it's still worth it to me. But yeah... people pre-selling the console for up to double what it costs? The first wave on Nintendo Store isn't even sold out yet.

I'm so glad that this is coming out on the Switch as I'll be buying it on day 1 of the games release. Also it seems that Tantalus are in charge of the port, so it's in the best of hands.

I've just found a better, updated version of the image... ...slightly bigger than PSP cases, oh well, no bespoke storage for Switch games then.

I have a feeling that those placeholder boxes on display are slightly taller. I'm hoping the above comparison image is accurate.

It begins... http://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-switch-console/nintendo-switch-with-neon-red-joy-con-neon-blue-joy-con-controllers/11396090.html?widget_id=505877 Red/Blue Joy-Con Switch now Out of Stock on Nintendo, ShopTo and probably other places too. Hopefully this isn't indicative of not enough stock but it does make you wonder, how long before the Grey Joy-Con Switch sells out? My pre-order for Nintendo Store is safe, as far as I know - it had better be considering what I've ordered from them! - and my back-up Shop-To pre-order is locked in, here's the message for that in case anyone is interested... Interesting times ahead...

Both, seeing as it's only really the Joy-Con controllers which are the differentiators. I went for the Grey console bundle. (or should that be charcoal?) But I also pre-ordered the Blue/Red set of Joy Cons.
