All the gaming news sites are teasing me with details on Virtua Racing today but it's only available on the Japanese store... I hope it comes out over here soon!


Thursday, it would seem.
Hi, please add me so I can see what you're playing and vice versa:
SW-1031-8505-1733
Thank you.
My Friend Pedro is more fun to watch than it is to play. I think I ruined it by playing Katana Zero first.

Now I have a shotgun and it’s the best thing ever. FUCKING SHOTGUN PUMP CLICK CLICK BOOM!
How does the Switch online voice chat app work? Specifically, where does the game audio go? Does the phone output only chat audio, or does it mix in the game audio?
I've only used it a couple of times but the game sounds still come out the Switch with just the voices coming out the phone... Just like making a phone call while playing a game.
Well that's fucking bobbins, then.
Nintendo, innit.
there are some 'combiners' im the market...to mix the sound

anyone made nice SMM2 level they want to share?
Probably a pretty canny move, I suspect there are people who're only really interested in having something like the Switch for travelling and would prefer to use a 'proper' console or PC in the house and so would be attracted by the idea of not paying for functionality they don't want. If my commute was longer than ten minutes I'd almost certainly be snapping this up.
Still doesn't support Bluetooth headphones.

What the fuck, Nintendo?
That's going to sell incredibly well. Especially for the Pokemon and Animal Crossing crowd. Probably not for me, though.
Hmm. Although I was just reading a thread on Reddit about it and loads of people mentioning issues with the analogue sticks then pointing out that having that happen when you can't swap the controller out for a new one would be pretty awful. The internet would have me believe it's incredibly common, but what's the general Beex experience been?
I believe Mr Dave and Vision have had to replace theirs. Maybe Gaz too. Mine has been fine.

I always expect second hardware revisions from Nintendo to be more reliable, tbf.
No, mine's been perfect since I bought it :)
No drifting problems, but my buttons on the right controller sometimes gets stuck in position.

You should wash your hands more.

That’s confirmed? (Btw isn’t that a software issue anyway?)

Think you're thinking of me - I've got a dodgy stick. It's intermittent though so haven't bothered doing anything about it.

I can’t believe that’s what you call Gaz, poor chap.

I replaced mine. It wasn't too difficult to be honest, but I don't think I'd fancy doing it if I had to take apart a whole console.

Gaz Poor Chap is his name now.
Presumably in response to a threatened class action suit, Nintendo are now allegedly repairing drifting Joycons for free:

I really can't decide if this as is being serious or if its tongue is placed firmly in its cheek.
Made for summer! Great for playing on the beach! Unless it happens to be sunny outside, in which case you won't be able to see a damned thing on the screen.

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends announced as a Switch exclusive
You cunts, Nintendo. WTF have you done to those classic designs!? CUNTS.

Taito, not Nintendo. But yeah, that looks a bit of a mess. I do like me a bit of Bubble Bobble though, so if the price is right, I might still get it.
That doesn't look as bad as it could look I reckon.

I was thinking of comparing it to the Wii version but according to YouTube, that looks ok. Maybe it was Rainbow Islands I was thinking of?
It's at least a step up from the DS artwork

They tried to fuck up the artwork in the Gameboy Advance release as well.

It had a “New” mode or something as well as the “classic”. Suffice to say I played New Bubble Bobble about twice and Classic BB for the rest. Still couldn’t get off level 99 though. Cunty bullshit level.
a 30 second trailer and they didn't use *the* music? wtf

My sister brought Just Dance with her to mine recently & my daughter loves it. Looks far too active for my tastes, which probably sounds like I'm taking the piss given what I normally get up to, but these days if I have gaming time I just want to sit and chill.


Untitled Goose Game - Coming September 20th!
That game looks amazing, I'd love to play as a naughty goose that goes around irritating people. More potential for being an annoying jerk than even Sneak King

Well that's just splendid! Ace.
Link to the Past?! ZOMG YESSSSSSSSSS.
Finally some decent games. NES games are largely terrible, I hate to say.
I should highlight that this has “online” play peeps!
They're also doing a SNES style controller for the Switch. That's a must buy if you ask me!
Get downloading.. The SNES games are out now!
Just had a quick blast on Super Mario Kart. It’s…Super Mario Kart.
