Julius Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 Nintendo Switch recorded it's best sales week in the UK off the back of some crazy Black Friday sales: We're just four months away from the console turning five years old, so that's pretty insane. Crazy to think what might happen next year if they were to slash their console RRP's a bit (not that they need to, but clearly the massive savings to be had were a big reason for it's great sales last week). 3
Ronnie Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 It's out of stock on Amazon atm, you need to get one from a third party supplier. Crazy to think that nearly five years later the RRP has gone down £20 in the UK and has stayed at full price in the US!
Helmsly Posted November 30, 2021 Posted November 30, 2021 yeah pretty amazing, and that price cut was due to exchange rates in europe. I wish I could find a Switch Oled on sale though, my Switch's fan stopped working a few weeks back. I can still play games on it, but after an hour a message comes up with a warning me that the system is too hot and then it shuts itself down.

Dcubed Posted December 2, 2021 Posted December 2, 2021 Heads up @S.C.G Both Dodonpachi Resurrection and Clockwork Aquario (The long, lost previously cancelled Westone SEGA System 18 arcade game) both got released today on the eShop! 1
MindFreak Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) You can now cancel pre-orders on eShop. Or at least if you live in the EU. But there is a page on Nintendo.co.uk that explain the steps so I guess you lot also can. Edited December 6, 2021 by MindFreak 1

Julius Posted December 9, 2021 Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Masayuki Uemura, lead architect of the NES and SNES, has passed away at 78. Imagine the lives of a lot of people who have had some experience with video games would be very different without him, may he rest in peace. Quote It has been announced that Masayuki Uemura, the creator of the Family Computer, has passed away. I pray for your soul... NES is the game console that I was most influenced by. Without this, it wouldn't be there. Expand There is a Nintendo Life article on his passing and contributions here. Edited December 9, 2021 by Julius 2 5
MindFreak Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Also announced is a Chocobo GP Lite that allows you to play the single player prologue free of charge and also connect to a local network to play against friends that have the full version of the game. Upgrading to the full version will transfer progress. Edited December 14, 2021 by MindFreak

Can definitely see the Animal Crossing (~50 hours of play) and Xenoblade (~70 hours of play) bumps, though! Guess my unofficial aim for 2021 is to get over that hump and play more Nintendo games Expand Hey Alexa, play the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme. Whoops. Edited December 14, 2021 by Julius 1 2
Jonnas Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 So it seems I had a hefty year on the Switch, though it's surprising that 2020 had so many more hours, considering there were so fewer SSBU tourneys to go to. It was probably Three Houses. I wager that Oct.9th was on the weekend of Metroid Dread's launch. 2
Glen-i Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) OK, OK, you've all had your fun. Now stand aside, and lemme show how a real nutjob does things. Reveal hidden contents Awww yeah, somehow wasted even more time then last year! You see that, I don't just waste a lot of time, I waste the most time! I'd love to see if anyone actually beat my times for these games. Completely forgot that I went on a MUA3 binge at the beginning of the year once I realised I hadn't played the DLC. You know it's a bit much when a month stands out for not breaking 200 hours! EDIT: So I looked up my 3DS activity log, and I figured out why April was my lowest month. You know how last year, I explained that I tend to replay PMD: Explorers of Sky once a year? Well, guess what? It wasn't that, it was Super Mystery Dungeon this time. And yet, with all that data, their suggestions for games is utterly woeful! The top 2 would be nice, if it wasn't for various things that mean I'd rather just play the original versions. And it's insulting that Ninty still don't realise that I've never touched a Just Dance title in my entire life! And how do you not suggest Shin Megami Tensei V!? How do you miss such an open goal? Also weird that it doesn't suggest another Musou title... Reveal hidden contents EDIT: They suggested Just Dance to me last year as well! Stop trying to make it happen, Ninty! You can find last year's stats in this thread. Edited December 15, 2021 by Glen-i Figured out why April was so low 1 2

Expand Yeah, that is weird... they certainly suggested SMT V to me! It's a great suggestion too, considering what I've been playing. They also recommended Castlevania Advanced Collection (another excellent suggestion, and I may pick it up on a sale), Warioware: Get It Together (trying to bolster my multiplayer options, eh?)... and the N64 service for NSO (nice try, Nintendo. I give it a D for effort). Edited December 15, 2021 by Jonnas 1

Dufniall Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 Here is mine: And my handheld percentage was 87%. Curious to see that I put so many hours in Immortals, but it is a good game so actually not that surprising. Dark Souls at 30 hours and still not finished! 3
