Steep, i presume.

A 7/10 multiformat games that will run better on every other platform.

A 7/10? So a decent game.

7/10 is the standard for a pretty bad AAA

Isn't Steep always online?

Mmmmmmm not really that's just how one perceives it, when we write reviews that's not what we score bad games. That's why it's a 10 point scale not a 7-10 point scale.

Being behind 2 guys playing arms looks like they are doing something inappropriate to one another

Expandable storage....... also its not like the other consoles nintendo don't ask you to install games even if you have the disc so theres not need for TB's

I bought the wii u at launch felt the initial promise of 3rd support fell by the wayside very quickly indeed. What 3rd party titles are there for Launch?

Sorry expandable storage in portable mode is fine but docked it really should have a decent sized hard drive, I am at a stage where nearly all my purchases are digital and in a world of game sharing I just think Nintendo are far far to late to the game. The sooner Nintendo become a software only company the better because there is no denying the quality of their 1st party titles.

The joy cons look ideal for VR...

super_furry · 13-01-2017 03:50PM

Not really liking the look of Arms. Has the look of a Wii waggle-era game.

13-01-2017 03:55PM

Right that's enough "Arms".

I suppose apart from Zelda what else can they show?

Screams of Wii Sports Boxing to me but if the controls are accurate I'd say it'll be great craic. And possibly the most dangerous game I've seen, reeks of drunk fun and then falling.

pasta-solo · 13-01-2017 03:58PM

Traditional button controls are an option too. This feels very much like it should be a pack in, or else a very cheap game.Not a lot to it, is there? Even Wii Sports had more gameplay.

super_furry · 13-01-2017 03:59PM

Definitely doesn't look like a full-price €69.99 game, which it is.

Nintendo don't or any other company for that matter want you to game share... a digital purchase is a licence for you not a license to give to your mates.

That is crazy, up against Zelda this will be lost. Shame, cos it looks fun, but just a daft price.

super_furry · 13-01-2017 04:07PM

Alright now Nintendo, there's enough Arms.

sligeach · 13-01-2017 04:08PM

There's a lot of daft prices. Skyrim will be €70 when isn't it half price elsewhere? The accessories are crazy expensive but worst of all is the Switch itself. Can't see it succeeding at €330. Coupled with many other problems. I'm possibly thinking now of just buying Zelda on Wii U and take a wait and see approach. Other than Zelda there's no other real standout launch game.

13-01-2017 04:10PM

Jesus do they think this going to be a system seller or something. We've seen enough.

Being honest I wanted them to get away from all this Wii motion control stuff with the switch.

Yawn, nexxxxtttttt.

Crazy that they let it get to the stage were Zelda would be released on the Wii U....ON THE SAME DAY!!

Zelda could have been a nice system seller if it was exclusive to the Switch.

Stream is lagging for me on twitch and YouTube.

pasta-solo · 13-01-2017 04:18PM

Is the stream very laggy for everyone else?

The fact they are relying on a game that was due out 2 years ago on the previous hardware as a system seller is a shocking indictment of Nintendo.

super_furry · 13-01-2017 04:19PM

Welp, I've already seen enough of Arms to know that I've no interest in it at all.

Kev Cah · 13-01-2017 04:22PM

They're now showing 2 player Tetris! I can play that online for free!

Man, they must have raided every Apple store for their assistants

super_furry · 13-01-2017 04:30PM

Well I don't know about you guys, but the quality of this stream is filling me with confidence about the fact that Nintendo will be charging for online from now on.

13-01-2017 04:31PM

Will they stick this full thing up on YouTube when it's over?

Lagging is really annoying me.

Their Nintendo Directs were unwatchable live
