Seen that katamari damacy is out for the switch now.

Love me a bit of katamari. I played the demo last night and the controls are arkword as ever ha.

Is it worth the 20 euros on the é shop?. I have about 6.50 in gold coins so will only be 13.50 and I am trying to think is it worth it?.

As I paid i think 40 for touch my katamari on the vita 7 years ago.

Hmm weekend to think about it now

Playing it here. Not as much fun as the last one I played, on the 360. But still well worth what I paid for it.

Picked up katamari damacy today after been on the wall about it all week.

Good game so far the controls are a nightmare as ever to get used to.

Very happy with it for 20 euros!!!.

Girlfirend got me wonderboy for xmess as well not a bad game with the small bit I played so far.

I have had the switch since day 1 and I have never been dispointed with the console. I love the thing and to make people laugh gets more use then my one X!!!

The Switch has surprised me yet again. For some reason when I picked it before Christmas the last thing I thought I'd be using it for was good PVP. Bought Splatoon 2 yesterday and haven't stopped playing the feicin thing all day

Thanks for all the input on internet speeds lads. Had a few disconnects in the lobby while trying to get a game but nothing major and haven't had any in a match. Played the first area of campaign and jumped straight into multiplayer. Still finding my feet and losing more than I'm winning but not doing bad overall.

There's obviously a bit of the new toy factor with The Switch for me but my Xbox and PS4 have literally only been turned on to download free monthly games since I got the Switch and there's no sign of that changing. Fantastic little console.

The game purchasing is getting out of hand though, too many good games to catch up on.

Must add you for a game of Splatoon 👠I feel the same, I’ve so many unfinished games 😅 and then addictive games like splatoon or marionkart don’t allow you to finish Zelda, your farm on Stardew or Mario Odyssey!

I noticed in the last few days that my Right Thumbstick is drifting. Anyone else have this issue? Should I bring it back to shop or contact Nintendo?

It really depends on the age - I *think* GameStop will only exchange within 3 months, but I could be wrong.

Either way, they are responsible for doing the repair for you. If you feel more comfortable dropping it to the place of purchase, they are obliged to facilitate the repair for you, don't let them fob you off to Nintendo, if you don't want.

That said, it's generally better to go to Nintendo directly (again, depending on age, if it's a week old, I'd be back to the shop), and in my experience, they are fast, normally about 7 days turnaround for a joycon.

I sent two left joy cons off before Christmas out of warranty and both were repaired free of charge. I put the receipts in as proof of purchase and there was no mention of a charge throughout the process. I’ve received both back now and they are working perfectly. Great Service!

Nice. Nintendo charged me as I was 1 month outside warranty. Fast turn around though from them.

Anyone played Labyrinth of Refrain Coven of Dusk? any good?

Mr.Fantastic

See humble bundle are now selling switch games ?

Gunmonkey

Well possible they might bring in EU too, they had an EU only Nintendo Bundle years back so they can get access to the rights to sell/distribute EU Ninty games somehow.

I don’t think you would get it in a BricknMortar store unfortunately. I think a few people have mentioned one in Argos which is supposed to be good. I can’t remember which one though.

How/where did you sort out a repair? I need a joycon fixed but when I went through customer care site I kept getting a message that they couldn't recognise my post code.

I emailed them a couple weeks ago but have only gotten an automated reply so far.

Yes, I had the same issue but I was in a chat session with them and told them so they asked for my email address and to then reply to them with the details in the email including the postcode.

I'd a similar issue in that they use Google maps to locate for courier, and maps hadn't been updated with my eircode. Ended up having to use the office address. Its been happening a good bit with UK deliveries lately.

I'm just glad it wasn't me being stupid :P I've emailed them again looking for a follow up, it'll be two weeks tomorrow since I first got in touch. I knew there'd be delays over Christmas but didn't think it would take this long to get a response.

It did give me the perfect excuse to buy a Pro controller at least

Can you try the online chat instead? I got sorted straight away doing that.

I also used it as an excuse to buy a Pro Controller

Any big games on the way at all?

I have to say that there didnt seem to be much big releases over Christmas at all, other than maybe Super Smash Bros, which wouldn't be my cup of tea.

Mostly played CIV for the last few months, Football Manager before that and Zelda before that. I bought Prison Architect on sale which has been surprisingly good but keeping an eye out.

I guess maybe the new Ultimate Alliance game might be one of the next big releases but not sure how enthused I am on that one.

Super mario bros. U deluxe is out on Friday. Personally I can't keep up with the amount of games listed. On my radar at the moment is diablo, but I've preordered the mario game as I didn't pay it on Wii u. Did you play fifa 19? Seeing as you played football manager. There's a news and releases thread in here which should keep you updated. Yoshi is the next big first party original game I think.

Super Mario is out tomorrow, which is supposed to be pretty good, but if you've played it on Wii U, probably not worth your while.

Off the top of my head, we have a few Final Fantasy games in the next month or so, Fire Emblem, Yoshi Crafted World in March, and there's also Animal Crossing and a Luigis Mansion game due this year. Some remakes/ports like Crash Team Racing, and those Marvel Alliance games (Loved the first, don't think I was as fond of the second).

There's a new core Pokemon planned for this year too, but probably towards the end.

Rumour wise - There's still a chance for Metroid 4 and Bayonetta, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The Prime Trilogy, I think, is likely.

Thanks. I have Mario Galaxy too but not totally crazy about it. Would consider a new Marios Bros game though.

Not sure Diablo is my bag. As for FIFA, I'm a PES man!

J Mysterio

Have to say I expected more big releases but its probably that my interest is becoming a bit more niche over time. Im not enthralled by much of the new games on PS4 either so I'm probably the issue in some ways. Bought Battlefield V and have barely played it.

For the Switch, I'd like more strategy games like CIV, Rabbids, Prison Architect. X-Com would be perfect for switch.

fixXxer

Mario is out tomorrow?? Fss I'm still playing Diablo, Smash bros. and Bomber Crew :-/ Was going to get Lets Go Pikachu too.

I had forgotten about the Final Fantasy games. I don't think I ever finished 12 so would be nice to go back to it. I have all the others sitting on the Vita in the corner so won't need them thankfully.

keane2097

Yeah there are a ton of games I want to get already, besides not having played the ones I have enough, not to mention loads more coming out. And I am probably one who would have been a bit annoyed with the lack of big releases in '18!

On my radar to pick up:

Civ
Diablo
Dark Souls
Crash
Pokemon
FF games
New SMB

Probably loads more as well.
