Nobody would guess what would be no.1 there. 20 months is a random period of time though.

So much for the Switch losing steam. I wish the feckers would make up their mind.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is nearly here!
I have ordered a physical copy for my Switch from Videogamesplus, worked out at €35 all in, as the pre-order entitled me to free shipping, and it's got some nice bonus material in there too.

Star Lord

I've mine ordered too, look forward to bringing Ollie his missing music sheets!

Koei Tecmo are teasing a new game for Switch, PS4 and Windows.

https://twitter.com/koeitecmogames/status/1068328366925766656

Translation:

We released a teaser site where a burning flame burns.
12.6 "The fight of destiny begins."
(link: https://www.gamecity.ne.jp/new20181206/) gamecity.ne.jp/new20181206/
Please wait for the next report!

I've read that the date probably means that it'll debut in Japan’s most popular gaming magazine, Famitsu, where very often leaks occur, so if that happens, expect more information between Monday and Wednesday. There's no XB1 version listed but that doesn't mean much as it tends to get Western releases. The Game Awards are also on 6th December, so there's a very high chance that a trailer will be shown there.

Autosport was a result of negative feedback of GRID 2. It's good. Honestly the Switch really needs more decent racing games, so I'm glad to see this.

I wonder will the Switch feature on The Late Late Toy Show tonight. Nintendo haven't featured much on it over the last number of years. It was on it last year but you wouldn't even know, no names were mentioned, 1,2 Switch was on for literally about a minute, which was $h1t enough, but they played that fashion posing tripe.

There's one right behind Tubs now. Probably show it over the Xbox or PS4 this year.

To be fair, it doesn't need help in that regard. But, ya, it was fairly atrocious. Didn't say what system it was for, I don't think. Didn't mention that you construct it, how it works, it looked terrible on screen, no coordination, it was like a broken mess and he didn't ask the kid if he liked it. Ryan acted the eejit as well. No parent would have been sold on it.

Still in the box it was delivered in, and in the boot of the car too!

A parent friend of mine, text asking about it last night after seeing it on the toy show. Didn't see it myself but it must not have been too bad a showing.

It was pretty terrible in fairness, but Tubridy makes every toy look like garbage every year anyway.

Just watched a review. What a horrific looking port. Pass from me!

The kid said he was playing Switch. I'm pretty sure it was the only thing he commented negatively on when he could've just listened to what he was told to do. But rushed through it.

For those who didn't see the Switch section on The Late Late Toy Show last night.

Tubridy is about as relatable and comfortable interacting with society as an android who's been programmed by a recluse.

He constantly reminds me of this gif
