Wonder is the rumour of $400 pricing for a bundle believable
No shops left to trade in against the new console when it does drop, the world that ostracized me is gone. IYKYK.
We'd be doing well for a bundle at 400.
I predict 450 for Switch 2 + Mario Kart.
Astrobot is the most Nintendo game that isn't on a Nintendo, if you could peek over the games horizon I'm sure you could see Mario Odyssey in the distance!
It's brilliant!
I wonder... what a great game it would be on a Nintendo platform, moving all the references over the Ninty IP.
Apparently Nintendo are spoiling the fun and blocking people from buying from the Japanese eshop with non-Japanese PayPal and credit cards.
Hopefully someone will figure a work around without having to resort to buying Japanese eshop credit for a premium
Nintendo are stopping Gold Points from March 25th. Shame, I really liked that system.
Also seems the US site, at least, states the NSO vouchers can't be used on Switch 2 games. No update to the wording here yet.
Saw some say it's probably due to game prices increasing for Switch 2 releases.
That's a big shame. Worked out basically at 5% back for every digital purchase.
Did a fire alarm go off?
Where did everyone go?
Seems the only thing happening in the world of Nintendo at the moment is another Pokémon direct so nothing of interest there for me.
Then Xenoblade X in a few weeks.
Belated new years resolution to increase my physical activity from zero to some has begun. I've just started "playing" Ring Fit Adventure, my first attempt at improving my fitness since Wii Fit. *looks at neglected balance board under the telly stand*
Only doing it a couple of days but enjoying it so far, admittedly on easy level but I'm so out of shape I'm not pushing it.
So 8 years ago saw the release of the Switch and Breath of the Wild.
Just to let folks know, I'm stepping back from modding duties after many years.
Thanks to all of the regulars who have made this forum what it is.
I'm sure the new Switch 2 era, that is about to dawn, will be an opportunity for this forum to go from strength to strength.
So, the very best of luck to you all, and thanks for the years of interesting and entertaining points, debates and opinions.
Who was it that finally broke you? What was the last straw?
Seriously though thanks for your work and now you may be able to recover some of your sanity again.
Thank you sir
No last straws here, just lots and lots of IRL things that take up lots of time. I am lucky enough to be able to retire in two years time, one of the benefits of being a nurse in an Approved Centre, you can go at 55. Perhaps then I will be able to spend more time hereabouts. But, the odd blip aside, it has been a nice place to be, during the great times for Nintendo and the lean times.
I came into the HSE late so I'm going to have to keep plodding away to nearer 67, (hopefully not ALL the way to 67 though), enjoy your retirement when you finally get there, light at the end of the tunnel at least. Sorry to see you go as a mod and thanks for trying to keep interest in the place ticking over.
Thanks for all the enthusiasm on here @CiDeRmAn , I think Nintendo probably owe you a little pension at this stage. 😁
And yet, here I am, still giving them money, and Sony, and MS, and Steam, and loads more on retro gaming too!
I was playing Words with Friends earlier on my phone, and they have a Mar 10 Word Search for the day that's in it.
Just incase anyone is interested here, I've an animal charity raffle running over in the retro forum for a Nintendo Wii Mini with all the bells and whistles added back into it, along with some goodies too. Feel free to enter:
Nintendo hate Money of this I am sure no anniversary pokemon games this year probably none next neither, Chrono Trigger the is 30 no big whoop by Nintendo Square Enix has plans but that statement makes me shiver l. You're probably wondering why I am posting this after 5:30am.
Cant sleep clown will eat me
Not long to the next Nintendo Switch 2 direct, when all the cards will be laid on the table. 2nd April. Times flies.
Rumour: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond to be at Switch 2 Direct
Does it help when I say I'm 99% sure that Metroid Prime 4 will be shown in the Switch 2 Direct?
Looks like good reviews for Xenoblade X.

In case you ever forgot the tune, the Tetris soundtrack is now on the Nintendo Music app.
And likely just reading that has made the tune pop into your head.
You've actually just caused some sort of weird mashup of the Type A and Type B music to start playing in my head.
...
Must admit that there are worse soundtracks to a working day 😁
It'll either make you very organised or panic throwing everything anywhere.
Nintendo announces Zelda movie will release March 2027
This is Miyamoto. Did you have a chance to check out the short video we posted on Nintendo Today! a few hours ago? We announced that the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, which I am producing with Avi Arad-san, will be released in theaters worldwide on March 26, 2027.[1/2]

Robin Williams was born to be any head Goron in a Zelda movie it'll be sad seeing Jack Black do it instead
