They could have chosen a subtitle a little more different to Ubisoft's Child Of Light...at first I thought it was a sequel to that!

Don't quote me on this, but I suspect it's Capcom's decision, and I believe they're going to avoid it because they're concerned about what happened with Ace Attorney Investigations; it sold really badly and they decided to only release AA games digitally in future in the EMEA regions.

I will quote you.

As solid as that reasoning sounds, it doesn't really wash.

Ace Attorney really doesn't do any better sales-wise in Japan but that doesn't stop Capcom releasing physical versions of the series over there despite considerably more demand for physical versions of Ace Attorney coming from western gamers. Additionally, it isn't just Ace Attorney - a large chunk of Capcom's output on the Switch has been digital only in the west and in some case, even just in Europe. It's obviously an across-the-board cost-cutting measure that they made long ago.

Fair. Truthfully it might because they know that the games have very little replay value. I've played the first four on DS, but I sold all of them once done.

I don't know if I'm in a bad mood today, but that queasily saccharine blurb makes me want to spew rainbows.

Skyward Sword HD stuff (game, joy-con, amiibo ) now all up for pre-order on MyNintendoStore UK.

[Neon Ignition]

Roll on a Super Mario 3D Collection 2 containing Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Kart Wii and Super Paper Mario

If they get through Wii ports fast enough they may even finally get around to filling the Switch schedule with Gamecube ports next... I'd still buy them mind.

Errm... What gives? I'm sure I played this years ago.

[importaku]

Things i learnt today. As i love playing music games i prefer to do it with headphones but on switch in docked mode not the most practical way using wired ones like i do in handheld mode. I was looking online to see if there was any form of blutooth way to connect seems there's a whole world of dongles to plug in and use wireless headphones. The only pair i have are the official PS4 wireless one which i never expected to work as they use their own usb dongle, but i plugged in my PS4 wireless dongle into the dock and boom what do you know they actually work. All this time i could have been using them, damn it lol.

Saved me some cash (for more games lol)
