Sonic Mania available from the eshop on the 15th. I saw something about the Japanese price being around £15, something like that.

Will wait for "official" pricings though. I'd like a physical version of this game...

The official pricing is on the store, its £15.99. Look in the "Coming Soon" section.

Tuesday is going to be a very busy day. Sonic Mania and AMD Vega delivery (hopefully) I be leaving work early

Ah right, don't have my console so I haven't been able to check. Still, it's a good price!

So excited. May set the Megadrive up for a bit of Sonic 3 and knuckles in preparation!

Is anyone using a switch on a 4K TV? If so how does it look?

I am. It's fine. From a distance Zelda looks fantastic, as does splatoon. The gameplay more than makes up for resolution. I guess the tv is doing some form of upscaling not sure.

If you go up to the screen though, Zelda looks super jaggy but you seriously don't notice it when you are sat back and playing. I'm primarily a pc gamer harking on about better visuals etc but the switch has started to help change my way of thinking. I sold my ps4 once I got a switch

Cheers, I did a quick search of Nintendo switch + my model of TV and seen a few posts about it looking awful, seemed to be on the larger sized model though and who knows how close they were sat.

Games look lovely on my 4K Sony TV but the (console) menus look noticeably worse. The latter doesn't really matter to me as I don't play menus.

Hell it looks better than the cluttered mess that is the Xbone dashboard even if the latter is higher res..

You should just get pixel doubling in each axis rather than any processing.

I think art style rather than High resolutions and detailed textures have the greatest effect. Zelda is fantastic in that regard.

I want Axiom Verge and Hollow Knight on the Switch.

I should wait for some discounts though as I just play Splatoon at the moment.

Looks like it's only a special edition with the usual special edition tax on it.

Ah man I wanted physical...but do not want special edition :/

That's annoying!

It's expensive to make the physical games so it makes sense to have it digital only for a cut-price game.

The art style and gameplay are the reasons in particular I want one, I just don't want it to be a blocky or blurry mess that's all.

I'd be happy to pay more for a physical one but a non special edition. Just the cart.

Most games are 1080P unlike PS4/XB1 games so they look nice on a large TV.
