I might be a little bit excited by this.

Did you buy it? It's excellent.

Yes. I've already poured a gazillion hours into it. :DD

I think I read something this morning that said that the new update for the Switch has enabled the Wii-U adaptor for Gamecube pads. It was early in the morning though so I could be wrong..

LewieP · **Joined:** 29th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 7600

Yeah, although it's missing a home button and the second Z button.

romanista · **Posted:** Tue Oct 24, 2017 16:19

Yes, it was on EG as well... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017- ... -to-switch

so is that anticipating on the VC console (starting with a mario sunshine release on Odyssey day?)

btw...
it's odyssey day - 3!

I had a nose through the sale stuff on my Switch and Wii U last night. Nothing really stood out on the Switch, but the Wii U had quite a few retro Castlevania titles that I've not played yet. I resisted though, as my to-play pile is big enough as it is.

I can't wait for this. I've avoided a load of spoilers but have just seen a clip of Mario going into 2D mode. It looks absolutely glorious.

And today we're there.. got already some teasing whatsapps from friends having it... waiting for the mailman to arrive.. (and finishing work, natch)

My wife is off to a wedding later today so that means I'll be in charge of the kids all day so I won't get to play it until the kids go to bed.

I’m just waiting to see what sort of reception Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gets before getting a Switch and Mario. Knowing my luck though, they’ll be sold out for December just when XC2 comes out.

Stop lying to yourself and buy one now. They'll sell out as soon as Mario starts to advertise properly

You talk sense. I’ll consider it but I’ve got big bills this month.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Sell your Wii-U. I've heard they're collectable now.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14358

But, but, but, it’s the system you can play Xenoblade X on! I even loaded that up a few weeks back. Sat loves Xenoblade.

I've just had a quick go on Mario Odyssey. My quick go started about 3 hours ago... It's brilliant!

romanista · **Posted:** Sat Oct 28, 2017 16:18

yes it is... did hats/waterfall/desert/forest now, on to the lakes (not sure how they're called in english)

loved in the forst when i turned into a rocket , and then when up to a misty tower, took over a boomba and found a secret moon somewhere in the fog..

until now still not that 'openworldy' though, but apparently that starts in New Donk City....

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14358

Switch get.

Y’know I’ve already had a go on one of these, but when I just got it out the box I was like “goddamn this is dinky”. Much much smaller than I ever remembered my brief time with it. So yeah, the Switch, it’s dinky.

Jem · **Posted:** Thu Nov 02, 2017 14:23

Gaz bought me the new Mario like the hero that he is. :luv:

Hoping to get some time on it today.

@satsuma @jem, what are your friend codes...

Friends codes in 2017! Nintendo, never change

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Nov 02, 2017 15:28

At least it now finds you if you were friends before...

(btw.. getting a bit nervous how fast my 8 year old daughter is getting new friends on the ps4... )

Fortunately, they're short and memorable. I've just looked mine up and it's SW-4077-9877-7294. Catchy!

So they've done the new DOOM on Switch. Sort of.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... t-analysed

Despite all the compromises if you watch the videos of the game in motion, it's kind of OK. Ish.

Not sure it's the type of game you'd want to play on a Switch though, the whole point of Nintendo consoles is the Nintendo stuff, really.

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Nov 16, 2017 12:58

I guess the portability is good for some people, but not my cup of tea...

TheVision · **Posted:** Fri Dec 01, 2017 0:20

I completed Mario Odyssey a week or so ago so that's just in time for me to take in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 tomorrow.

I'm not entirely sure that it'll be my sort of game but I am looking forward to it.

Kinda mean that Bayonetta is a download in the special edition. It's on the cartridge on the Japanese special edition (not sure if it's one big cart, or two smaller ones).
