Personally I really enjoyed it, can't wait to see how it runs on a Switch!
The game is 6 years old so hopefully it will run fine.

Anyone bought a third party dock from anywhere? Wondering what they are like and if they can damage you switch at all ie, cooling and such.
I pre-ordered mine for £27.99 on amazon, see its not £33.99 but Amazon lock in the cheapest pre order price so I am all good, I just need em to get stock and send the thing out now, really wanting Isaac on the Switch, need to tap that addiction
I notice it's saying it's in stock on Amazon now so we should get it tomorrow or Monday. My order status has been updated to dispatching so hopefully tomorrow.....
Actually, if I create a new order it says the delivery date will be 12 September? I noticed in a Reddit thread someone said that the release date for Isaac had changed to the 12th September instead of the 7th but most retailers hadn't realised which is why some sold it and others didn't? Strange goings on....

Have I missed the boat on getting Wabbits cheap?
Amazon is still showing as trying to locate stock for this for my order. I will hold out and see what happens, I noticed The Game COllector is selling it for £30.85 so might give them a punt and cancel the Amazon order.
I just received an email from Amazon saying my copy of Binding of Isaac has been dispatched and will be delivered tomorrow so hopefully everyone else's should be en route as well.
Yay
It seems really pricey everywhere. I was tempted but I don't think it's the kind of game that would hold my attention for long as the levels all seem to be fixed unlike xcom where everything is generally randomised which improves the replay factor. Without a level editor, online multiplayer and randomised maps/placement if seems like it could get old pretty fast. I'm already hearing they have DLC season pass planned for it

I'm going to hold fire on rabbids for now and see if I can get it cheaper in a few months time when everyone has completed it.

I'm still convinced we'll see a lot of What Happened articles regarding the Switch in the coming years.

I think I'm going to do the same, I agree about the replay factor. With its Mario connections, I'm whiling to bet it'll stay at a high price for quite some time though.
You're probably right as switch and 3ds games seem to hold their value really well. Still, I don't feel comfortable paying £50 for it. Maybe at half price I'll give it a shot.
I bought a 2dsxl the other week and most of the games I wanted to get( fire emblem, etc) are still near the launch RPP even years after release.

I hope it has the improved lighting and higher quality textures that the other consoles are getting. The game still looks good maxed out on a PC.

A cart version of the SNES classic please
Wonder what we will see. They have done a good job so far but not really sure how next year will work month to month as we are getting the big hitters right now
Thanks
Please let there be some confirmed dates for the virtual console. I need some retro games on my switch.
Maybe they'll announce a subscription Nintendo plus/gold service where you get access to Nintendo classic games and online play for an annual fee.
