Dcubed Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Who the hell does April Fools 3 days early!? (Or 3 weeks early in Platinum’s case!) What the hell man!?
Dufniall Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Don't know if this is a joke, or if this is coming to Switch, but this looks sweet!

MindFreak Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 Aww, looks great. I hate April's Fool. Why is this still a thing? 1

Yeah, I didn't believe the Flipnote thing for a second. Have you tried doing precise drawings on a Switch screen? Even with a top-of-the-range stylus, it's impossible to draw anything accurately. Flipnote isn't happening on the Switch. Y'all got played.

Why is this still a thing? Tsk... all these sites and companies doing April Fools stuff. At least you can count on N-Europe for serious, quality Nintendo content.

Jonnas Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) The retrospective turned out great Lots of Gamecube goodness there. Surprisingly few handheld appearances, though. Edited April 1, 2020 by Jonnas 1

LazyBoy Posted April 2, 2020 Posted April 2, 2020 Word doing the rounds is that the rumoured Paper Mario will be a return to the classic RPG format of the N64 and GC games. Any attempt they make to do a proper sequel to Thousand Year Door would make my year - one of the best RPGs ever that. 1

I'm pretty sure I was paying attention to it too... Oh wait no, I'm thinking of the Indie thing from a few weeks ago (which I watched last week). Anyway, looking forward to it too. And glad it's not a Nintendo game as they would make you use each Joy- Con as one of the thrusters with motion control.

Julius Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Huh. Being silly on April Fool's if you're going to have something soon after makes more sense than annoying everyone with just an April Fool's joke, I guess?
drahkon Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Took part in Image&Form Games giveaway last week. Entered for a Switch copy of SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech and I just got a code Have been interested in this game since it's announcement. Pretty excited 2 1
MindFreak Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Aww, entered that as well but it seems I was too late then as I didn't get any mail.
Tim B Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 I treated myself to the gorgeous purple and orange joy-con combo, which arrived today. The main reason for doing this is that I was experiencing pretty awful joy-con drift and so handheld play was still possible but a real chore. I know we're under lockdown etc., but does anyone know if there's much chance Nintendo will replace my original joy-con once this is all over? It won't be under warranty as I got my Switch on launch day. Just wondered if anyone else had experience of this with Nintendo recently.

They probably will fix it, but you'll have to pay, seeing as only America gets the free replacements.
Scratch Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Is this FOR REAL?!

That's the current rumour swirling around. If they are planning on announcing this, it would no doubt be at their upcoming E3 Direct though. Edited April 5, 2020 by Dcubed 1
Helmsly Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Nintendo Japan has launched a Customization Program on their site where you can choose what colour Joycons you get with your Switch bundle, among a few other things: https://store.nintendo.co.jp/customize.html Would be interesting if this option showed up in Europe and America Edited April 7, 2020 by Helmsly 2
