  1. Good Nintendo Podcasts?

    Ok well two peole calling it out it gets a try. Same for this I'll give Easy Allies a go outside of watching their reviews not consumed any of their content since they left Gametrailers.
  2. So yeah basically a combination of birthday money, loyalty points and gift cards mean I've picked up the following lot! It's taken a lot for me to even consider becoming a current Nintendo platform holder. I was trying to think what the last physical game I bought on release day that wasn't Zelda is and I can't for the life of me think (last two day one Nintendo purchases I made were Link Between Worlds and Breath of the Wild on Wii U) it may have been Fire Emblem Awakening which is 4 years and I never properly played. However I think this E3 made me think there is enough in 2017 with the one a month mantra to convince me that I should jump onboard. Hoping this will continue in to 2018 and that all the nindies we've seen promised will slowly trickle in (one thing I'm slightly confused with the pricing on digital games, why is Wonder Boy for example $6 more and why is Jackbox 3 something like $12 more? One real problem I had with my Wii U is I picked it up late and bought a stack of games that I've struggled to get through (still gonna try clear them all out) so I felt like being more current was the way to go. Going to pace myself accordingly. So far I've got ARMS, Mario Kart 8 and Mr Shifty. Gonna pick up Blaster Master once I beat Mr Shifty. Below is my friend code would be great if people could add me as it's just one to add for you guys but a lot for me! In general in terms of the device I'm relatively impressed although not bowled over. I feel the joycons are a bit small for my giant hands and I don't think the sticks have enough throw to them compared to the Pro Controller. I'm not blown away by how the dock works, I mean we live in world where you can mirror you phone screen to your TV without lag through wifi and whilst I appreciate a system like that wouldn't work for the switch where you aiming for improved performance on TV, I do think one day if this idea for a system is to continue then they gotta be looking at Wireless versions for a hypothetical Switch 2. The other thing is...what a mess the online system. I thought they were meant to have consolidated the systems? So why do I have 4 names essentially attached to the same account; Adam, adamducker, flameboy and flameboy84. I linked my account etc...after much wrestling with even figuring out what username and password it was asking me for only to have to log in again with a different name when I first opened the eshop. I'm also a little bit confused why the profile name I have on my Switch is what appears when I'm playing online games rather than the alias I've entered on nintendo's website? Even PS3 let you effectively name the different accounts but then online your PSN ID was displayed. I'm not surprised the online service will only be $20 a year they'd have a bit of a cheek to charge anywhere near the amounts Microsoft and Sony charge. Also why in the world did friend codes make a comeback what was so terrible with how the Wii U worked?
  3. Cheers mate its nice to be back aboard and back here!
  4. Good Nintendo Podcasts?

    Ok I'll give Radio Free Nintendo a go! Yeah @Ronnie just not a fan of their content at all and their constant spoiling of things on their front page has made me just want to outright boycott them.
  5. Atari back in hardware business

    Surely this can't be anything more than an attempt at getting in on the NES Mini craze and creating a smaller HDMI version of one of their consoles. I've read somethings saying it's built on PC technology which perhaps flys in face of that, it couldn't an Atari branded Linux system surely? Steam Machines hardly set the world alight!
  6. FIFA 18

    One thing I will say I've become increasingly bored by the frostbite engine for FIFA if this is built on a different engine that's also not ignite I could be interested as off TV play is cool.
  7. Marvel Heroes MMO

    Same I bought some sucks that gotta buy again.
  8. Marvel Heroes MMO

    Characters don't transfer over...it's not the same current version as the PC and won't be keeping up with that update schedule apparently.
  9. Conflict With Neighbours?

    I think he has kinda got you bang to rights to be honest....we have a similar situation here... Live in an apartment have one underground parking space and you can't park on the road in the surrounding area. Only solution is to rent a second space at cost, there are however how 25 visitor parking spots that people were just using as second spaces. They started towing peoples cars after warning. Some people were however kind of like you in that they just didn't want the inconvenience of driving to their own space so would rather park closer in the visitors.
  10. Super Mario Maker

    Yes completely different level...well the same level remixed. I'll post the link in here once I get it on Youtube.

  15. MadDog Marathon [£1750+ raised!!]

    Well the donations have still been coming in thick and fast and the wonderful guy who made our donation tracker @Proddy3 over on twitter nudged us over the 1750 mark. In celebration of this wonderful achievement I'd like to spend a weekend together online streaming having some fun and hopefully raising one last round of money in memory of MadDog. To help decide when to host this online event I'd like to try and see when people are available so we can have the most people around possible. Please go to this link here; http://doodle.com/poll/8yh34bnm4ery4ryh and indicate the weekends you'd be free to be involved. I'm looking for people who could stream during the weekend as part of the 24 hours, even if its just steaming for one hour from your PS4 or Xbox we'd love you to take part. If you can't stream let us know what days you'd be around to join us in twitch for requests and games.
  16. Hello Everyone! As some of you will already be aware in honour of MadDog a fundraising event is taking place at the Arcade Club in Bury the weekend of November 11th/12th. For those who cannot attend we are organizing a set of events to stream out during a follow up 24 hour streaming marathon which will take place over the same weekend as the main Arcade Club event. (Being slightly after the event means even if you attend the main event you could still complete) We tried to think of game that would bring the entire community together and settled on the latest version of Mario Kart on Wii U!
