I'm up for some races tonight. 

Enjoyed that! Until there was a communication error just as I was about to collect the trophy. 

Yeah I'm in! Sent you a request.

The inability to hop into a race with a friend is becoming kind of unacceptable now. How can they not have foreseen that a full lobby is always going to prevent a friend joining and not taken steps to resolve it? I've tried maybe 40 or 50 times since launch to join a friend in a race and get the same error every time. Broken.

Same error whenever I try to connect to a friend. Frustrating.

Picked this up earlier, Battle mode is fantastic.

did anyone buy Lego city, i am tempted to buy it but have been hearing bad things about loading times and few other bits.

Bought it and love it.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is easily a day one purchase. 

Just bought Lego City Undercover. 

Honestly, for anybody who is unsure, just give it a go. I had the Wii U version and it is amazing. Hilarious story, huge amount of things to do and obviously if you are bored, you have an open world you can explore. I have never really enjoyed lego games all that much but this one is extremely fun. 

Oh and Switch version has 2 player co op!

LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER IS SO CLOSE!!! 

Me and the missus play the local co op mode and have had some fun, though the characters talking are a bit annoying. Obviously not worth the price but still a decent title for your switch collection. Though you would be better off with Fast RMX and Snipperclips. 

Diablo 3.

Played it on PC launch day for a night, caught the norovirus and was bed ridden for the next week. Ugh. Not played it since. 

Any word on when we can expect some information on the online improvements?

Surely will be out by the time Mario Kart is released?

I just tamed my first horse and rolled up to the entrance of Kakariko village, playing on Wii U  gamepad in bed with a bit of a hangover.

 

It's beautiful and the world feels very alive and fresh.

 

I'll explore the village proper on the big screen tomorrow when my head doesn't feel as groggy.

 

Game is simply magic so far. 

I am at the same point. 

The game is stunning. So happy! 

I am addicted to this game. Worth every penny! 

Regarding playing with friends, generally when I go online, i will end up being in the same race as a friend anyway. Noy sure if it's a coincidence or it's automatically set up to find friends.

I'm looking at the eShop screen.....deciding whether to buy it or not.

I never played it on the Wii U as reviews said it was nails and i knew i wouldn't persist after 10 minutes of frustration. Still looks a bit tricky now. I'm pretty bad at these sort of games, how difficult is this one (anyone) 

I am generally pretty poor at racing games but i seem to be alright with this. As you play more, you'll start remembering the tracks and know when boost lines are coming up. It's great fun. 

Think there is supposed to be a time trial mode being added in a later update. 

I'm actually loving the game so far, few issues online with final placings being different to what you would expect but nothing major. 

Hoping to see a leaderboard system or something added at a later date. At present you just get points added. 

Got my Switch bundle today and was happy with everything, however, the whole insurance thing was really forced. I had to say no politely, three times. Wouldn't mind so much but they also rang me during the week and tried to sell it me. Just one of those things, i guess.

Are any of the games on the eshop worth buying? Apart from 1-2 switch and Zelda. Presumably bomberman is physical also?

Fast rmx!

Would really recommend Fast RMX folks, extremely fun! 

Oh and SW-6680-6180-0924.

Just picked up my switch, Zelda, Bomberman,Skylanders and my Guardian Amiibo. Just need my Pro controller to turn up!

The Skylanders box is bigger than the switch console box haha

Pocket Rumble is so Neo Geo Pocket Colour! 

I'll buy Old Time Hockey for the switch, though the release date is later than other consoles.

Maybe not enough buyers. We are excited in this thread, but I don't think it will be a big seller in the UK. Maybe after a price cut and/or good bundle.

They've just rang me and said it's because they can't get security for the day, apparently something about training. By the sounds of it, they haven't got much stock left for people who haven't pre ordered. 

Game has just sent me a text to tell me they are no longer doing a midnight launch at Merry Hill centre.  I'll have to pick it up on Friday morning instead. Why would they cancel? Not enough pre orders made?
