So what are people thinking of the final batch of Mario Kart 8 tracks? The Mrs and me will be giving them a shot later on today, I'm just hoping they're at least consistently average at worst lol some of the tour tracks have been awful but others have been (in our opinion) fantastic, we find the Singapore track for example gets a lot of play

At least its still coming out after so many delays. I wouldnt expect any better from an 5 year old hardware.
I think it looks alright in motion...
If it's stable, mission accomplished. At the end of the day, it's running on ageing mobile hardware. A huge visual downgrade was to be expected.

I am on the omega pirate and it’s a real pain. The first time I got to the mines bit to get the super bomb and that was really tough as there was a load of enemies but little health and the distance between the saves was huge.
It’s good tho.
Because of all the drift issues, I think Nintendo tend to just fix all joy-cons without checking age or receipts etc. I'd send them in, they will let you know if there will be a charge before doing any work on them.
Really impressed with Star Ocean Second story demo. It's a series I've avoided as always seemed to get really bad reviews but going to get this as I love the aesthetic and gameplay.
I understand mario RPG is not a long game so probably do that first.

I think there's no time limit or there wasn't, I not long back sent my lads joycons in for repair from his day one switch (they'd been faulty for ages) and they sent what looked like a brand new set back.

What was the turn around on that if you don't mind me asking?
It wasn't long, but I can't remember if I'm being honest.
I've got the same adapter, use it with a Wii U Pro controller. Works great, except I have to physically get up and turn console on before turning controller on

Well I decided after using a little that I don't really like the Nitro Deck, its a nice enough controller but it seems to suck battery life and when I removed the Switch from it and put it back in the Skull & Co thing I have it was like going from a Game Gear to a Gameboy Advance!!
I did like the improved analog sticks but I might look at buying one of the kits to upgrade the Nintendo Joycons to the Halls sensors instead.
Anyone seen anything decent on sale for Black Friday? I'm kind of swithering - I've mainly been buying physical games for the Switch (unless there's an eShop Bargain too good to miss) but I'm half thinking that online purchase might be better for use on a future Switch 2 - all guess work / a gamble right now I guess until something is actually announced.

Not as good as last month, but quidco are doing £15 bonus cashback for a £70+ spend on Nintendo store today.
Also if you have a blue light card you get a small discount on eshop vouchers adding to the saving
Not sure if it's on defence discount too
Hadn't realised Front mission 2 remake had released, but seeing the reviews is kinda sad... mostly from people who haven't played the games and they sound like it, bashing it because its "missing" aspects that were never in the original games anyway!
Quite annoying... as it spreads crap that isn't true or even accurate. It's just what the reviewer wants but isn't implemented, it's a remake not a new game.

Just finished Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Really enjoyed it, brought back loads of memories from back in the day. Highly recommend it to anyone.

Yeah one of my favourite 2d Mario's for sure. Playing RPG atm, it's so....pleasant. Also got Advance Wars bootcamp as never played but know it was highly regarded.
Even playing Mario I'm reminded of OCUK.

Trying to avoid a separate thread, so thought I'd ask here.
Purchased some Nintendo credit for wife - extra Xmas present. I have a picture of the scratched-off on the back of the card (CD Keys).
Can anyone tell me if Nintendo tend to use "Zero" or "O" in their store credit codes?
Cheers.
