Felt stupid buying it again but at least MK8's Battle mode is bloody great.

2 months in, anyone having any issues with their Switch? My JoyCon have been connecting fine, no dock scratches on my screen protector, WiFi behaves though does seem weaker than other devices. I also like the fact that the JoyCons wear in really quickly.

Only trouble I've spotted is with the locking mechanism latch on my left JoyCon, which is either worn or was damaged when I messed up the +/- handstrap. While it still locks in to the console and grip fine, it's not as secure as the other - it can be pulled off without needing the button pressed.

Nah it's been fine. Dock is used a lot by kids and there are no scratches. Nath said he had a joycon disconnect a couple weeks ago.

Nath put one of the joycon strap things on the wrong way round (all the way until it overlapped). Just pressed the unlock button and slid it off.

I can't fault it.

Same, no issues either ,like you say cools WiFi seems weaker but have had it upstairs opposite side of house and it still works on(no concrete walls to go through though).screen protector has no scratches either .
Still need to get out puyo tetris and convince myself that I need to get mk8 again.

I have to say it's been decent so far with a steady flow of games so far

I wasn't going to rebuy MK8 at full price but it was £37 from Amazon with their £5 off £40 of video games offer. Just low enough for me to bite.

Yeah. Firmware update on the controller required. All controllers supported.

That's great.

From AO's twitter feed: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2017/05/24/ultr ... turbo-mess

This is weird. The writer's not so much reviewing the features of the Switch/HD-Remix version (which are ****), he's reviewing Street Fighter, and he doesn't like it.

I got a £10 gift card from a random spam survey email today. One that got through all the filters, was written in perfect English and wasn't trying to be my best friend.

£25 for SF2? Bargain.

I know the Draw Something graphics are optional but I'd be more inclined to buy it if the option just wasn't there.

I read there's actually a whole load of extra bits and bobs in it, seems like they've made some effort even if I never use them.

Just did both my NES30 and NES30 Pro 8bitdo controllers. It's ace, pair them then use power+Y to turn on and they act just like a Pro Controller. The NES30 clearly limited but works well with Puyo. Nice to have a use for them.

Yeah I'm finding the reviews a bit strange ...i think all mention the price as an issue..

£35 seemed reasonable to me for a physical game release, am I out of touch? Over £40 is where I struggle.
