You are probably right, the switch is selling too much for that.

Damn it. I was hoping you were going to bet me

Really quite disappointed with Splatoon 3. Was hoping for a whole new game but it's essentially Splatoon 2 with a few new maps and the odd tweak, they've even got all the Splatoon 2 maps, weapons etc in there still.

There were early reports of split screen couch play but they ditched that too. Voice chat on the Nintendo app doesn't work either.

Feel a bit mugged off

Honestly I've tried multiple times but I've never quite managed to get into Splatoon. I'll have to give 2/3 another go, but something about it doesn't quite click to me.

After getting my Steam Deck, I don't think I've touched my Diablo III Edition Switch. Thinking of selling it. I wonder how much I can sell it for...

Also the new Zelda is a tough one for Nintendo as we will probably get a Switch 2 a year after release ? Would have made the perfect hardware release game.

BOTW was the final Nintendo made Wii U game and was one of the first games with the Switch release. I think we are still far from a new switch though.

Can't wait for the next BOTW. They are going to have to blow peoples minds to justify the 5+ year dev cycle for it.

Oh and Pikmin 4 but I still don't truly believe that will ever come out. It was supposedly nearly finished years ago. Pikmin 3 was released in 2013.

Why do they need to blow minds? Most Zelda games have a good number of years between them, and they've all been brilliant.

Because its been 5 years, they have by all accounts reused the world from BOTW and extended it and they are using the same engine. 5 years is a long time for a company of Nintendos resources especially considering this is very much build on top of BOTW.

It looks like much of the game will take place on the floating islands and in the sky as well as on the ground. So that's a lot to add and change. Also we know Nintendo will release a stunning game as Zelda games usually are worth the wait.

As I said, I am expecting them to blow my mind.

The first one is easily one of my favourite games ever.

I wasn't the biggest fan of BOTW. I prefer the older style of game with a more focused and linear nature. A Link to the Past is still my all time fav game.

I never really played any of the old ones. My entire experience is BOTW, the remake of Links Awakening on Switch and most of LttP on the virtual console. All really good games. I'm hoping they release some of the more recent "old zelda" games on Switch at some point.

steve5424 · 14 Sep 2022 at 12:05

I've been playing them since the NES era. Got all the originals and the HD remasters that have come out recently Inc on the Wii U. Such a great series. Every game is so different too. Links Awakenimg on gameboy was excellent at the time too.

Noxia · 15 Sep 2022 at 19:26

My favourite will always be a link to the past which happened to be my first also.
Sadly, I did not enjoy breath of the wild at all. It all just felt too familiar. I would love a Twilight Princess remake though. I only played a little bit of it before I gave my wii to somebody else.

Sold my Switch a couple of years ago but got the itch to get another one which is arriving tomorrow.

What's the best way to go about purchasing games? Was hoping to get through Pokemon Legends: Arceus and either Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl before the new ones are out but the prices are still daft!

Can't you get them pre owned? If not, Eshop purchase.

They're dirt cheap to buy on the likes of eBay.

Seen a few immaculate ones go for as little as £70 (tablet only). I've been tempted to pick one up myself so I can stop stealing my partners

jrwagh333 · 22 Sep 2022 at 14:56

Ohhh a nice sale. Might finally pick up Diablo II Resurrected

Switch looks quite fragile how robust it's it with kids using it?

Get a screen protector and you're fine.

Hopefully they learn after the first fall. I've replaced the screen protector twice on my daughters, but I definitely take more care now to warn her if I think it's in a position it could fall again and she's actually more aware and scared of breaking it again.
