    Let's start a thread for this.

    Reviews are coming out and it looks like it's a cracker.

    IGN: 8/10, Nintendo Life: 9/10, Gamespot: 9/10 (85 on Metacritic from over 60 critic reviews).

    From reading Nintendo Life's review:

    • It's easy enough (the challenge is in the secrets)
    • About 7 hours to finish (with double that for completionists)
    • There is some post-game content after that.

    Dark Souls it isn't, but is a great way to pass the time, I think the 3DS games were simply superb

    I wonder if this will get the post launch support Super Star Allies did. That game was a solid 7/10 game brought to 9/10 with the massive amount of content that it got post launch.

    Have this ordered and waiting for delivery from gamestop.

    I love this. It’s full of really inventive gameplay and while it’s insanely easy, there’s a joy to working through the levels and trying to get all the challenges.

    It’s got the usual collect em up stuff that I can’t be bothered with too but that’s Nintendo these days. Yay.

    I was all set to buy this but then Cosmic Smash for the Dreamcast came along and cleared me out!

    Ah well, next payday, perhaps

    Really enjoying this. Only on the 3rd world but already so many great ideas that constantly bring a smile to your face. And before anything feels tired, along comes something new. Not hugely challenging, but fun, fun, fun!

    I got it yesterday. It's in my Switch but I'm juggling a few other games at the moment. I'll get to it!

    Looking forward to it.

    Tried to buy this from the eShop but becasue it has free gifts (mousepad and magnets that I dont want) which they dont deliver to Ireland, I am unable to purchase the digitial copy of the game.

    Any way around this?? Thanks

    Gamestop still haven't posted my copy. I'd be really annoyed if I still wasn't engrossed with Elden Ring.

    Picked this up there recently gave it a short go, its great. A nice break from Elden ring anyway, love the controls and the laid back nature of it.
