@Noid That really would fit with the world of Shovel Knight! It would be interesting to see a horse racer, seeing as almost all mascot racers are in karts.
@pullmyfinger Please don't attack other users for the comments they have made. If you believe it is a troll comment, report it, but I have read the comments and it is just users expressing their opinions. You like Sunshine, they don't. They probably like stuff you don't like and that's fine too.
I hope they make a new Shovel Knight game. They have expressed before they wanted to make Shovel Knight into a Mario-esque franchise. It would be interesting to see a Shovel Knight RPG or racer, something like that.
Very interested to see how Astral Chain performs. Brand new IPs are a definite risk for developers. Some, like Splatoon, are great successes, whilst others, like ARMS, are popular with a smaller community not the majority. It will be interesting to see which category Astral Chain falls into!
I don't travel with the Switch much anyway, but if I do, I have a large portable charger. Extra battery power in the console itself would be nice, but it's a luxury - not a necessity.
I'm most surprised that Forza Horizon 3 is back in the top 20, not 4. I always considered 3 the better game, but I didn't know if that was the general opinion.
@Fandabidozi Oh cool, thanks! We got the Pokéball Plus with the game and I let my sister claim Mew, hopefully she'll not be too disappointed if I claim Mewtwo!
Not really sure this weekend. I've recently got back into Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu, so maybe some of that in preparation of Sword and Shield. Other than that, I'll just make it up as I go along.
@Grumblevolcano If you got FIFA in a bundle and sold it straight away I don't know if that counts as having bought it. I can't see the attraction in football at all, real or in a video game.
@aaronsullivan 2021 definitely seems the most likely bet - if there are revisions or new models ever 2 years or so, Nintendo's hopes of a 7 to 10 year life cycle start to look more likely.
@Filth_Element To be fair, so will I. I'm desperately trying to concince myself not to get a Lite because I play mostly docked, but that turquoise is so tempting.
I don't see the need for a PRO version for a few years yet - at least not until PS5 and the next XBOX have released. A Switch upgrade would be swept under the rug by two new more powerful machines. 2021 onwards is when I'd expect a PRO.
@Michael_Knight I enjoy collecring the spirits and to be fair, I'm nor bad with Cloud or Link. I know Link's a hero, but is Cloud a hero or a villain? I haven't played Final Fantasy.
@Bunkerneath I think they probably always wanted to make this a series and theh couldn't think of any better way than to split the story. This is only my theory though.
I'm looking forward to this equally as much as Sword and Shield. I really enjoyed the original and the movie. Hope this series really becomes a big hit so there can be more games in the future!
I really hope this is the start of them bringing back physical rewards, maybe not to the extent of Club Nintendo, but people are more likely to spend points on these posters than 20% discounts on Wii U games.
I really hope this takes off! The Chinese video game market to my knowledge is just fakes and pirated games, with mobile games as well. If a big games producer like Nintendo can take off there, they'll have majorative market share until everyone else follows. This could be huge!
This could easily be one of their top 3 consoles (home and handheld), especially if the 7 year life-cycle and new iterations come to fruition. Great to see the Switch doing so well!
Looks good! I don't have the Switch version, but I have the Wii U original. I hope this does well enough to justify a sequel somewheee down the line! Thinking about it now, this game was always well-suited to VR!

I'm travelling tomorrow so probably some WarioWare Gold on the 3DS.
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Maker 2 Extends Its Stay In The Top Spot
@Tantani Cool, nice to know the pre order rate seems high. That reviee score is pretty good too!
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Maker 2 Extends Its Stay In The Top Spot
@roboshort I agree that it will be a success regardless, but it will still be interesting to see how much of a success it is.

Re: Random: The Voice Of Zelda Signs Fan's Copy Of Breath Of The Wild In Hylian
@BlueOcean I'd agree that Revali is the best acted, with Daruk a close second.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Party Games
@Anti-Matter He wasn't being salty. He was explaining how in his opinion, the Wii Mario Party's are better than Super.
Re: Feature: Super Nintendo Games We’d Like To See On Nintendo Switch Online
Pilotwings, Pilotwings, Pilotwings and maybe F-ZERO, curiously absent from this list.
Edit: I'd like to try Fire Emblem too.

Re: Dr. Mario World Banks $1.4 Million And Racks Up 7.5 Million Downloads In Its First Month
People aren't spending much on it because in my experience, you have no need to. I'm on level 96 with over 100 diamonds because of free gifts!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #3 - Resident Evil 4
Don't play Resident Evil, but the European one truly is the best out of those three.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe And FIFA 19 Are Europe's Best-Selling Games Of 2019 So Far
I feel like I'm the only British/European who hasn't ever bought FIFA...

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Will Feature Galarian Forms, New Rivals And Team Yell Revealed
@koaeinferno To be fair, lots of people say Fire Emblem Three Houses looks awful, but they agree it's still a great game. Graphics aren't everything.

Re: Pokémon Studio Creatures Inc. Is Recruiting Developers For Detective Pikachu On Switch
@Bunkerneath Nope, definitely conclude. In the game you never found out what happened to Tim's father.
@AlexOlney Bewear. I'm sure there are plenty more Poké puns to be used.

Re: More Pokémon Sword And Shield Info To Be Dropped On 7th August
You'd hope that after all the backlash, a slight graphical improvement and more information on the remaining Pokémon is a given.

Re: New Gameplay For Luigi's Mansion 3, Zelda: Link's Awakening And More To Be Shown At Gamescom
I'll tune into this. I usually do anyway, but more Luigi's Mansion 3 and Link's Awakening (maybe M&S Tokyo 2020 as well) can't be a bad thing.
Re: New Nintendo Switch Game Trials Programme Will Let You Play Mario Tennis Aces For Free
