We’ve had one Barad-Dûr set, but what about second Barad-Dûr set? I love the original set of this, but it’s one of those half sets, where the front is a full facade but the back is open. This looked like it may be more enclosed and the base certainly looked a lot wider. I still need to buy the Rivendell set, but this is now also on my list. 
  https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/the-lord-of-the-rings-barad-dur-10333 found it on Lego, it’s still only half a tower but dang it looks awesome. Then I saw the price, £399.99!!

This looks like a fun game 5€ for Smash Bros. But not any Smash Bros, I want to see a new concept. Like, retool the roster to make it Nintendo vs. Sega, or something like that. 4€ for Metroid. Gimme some more 2D Metroid, baby! 3€ for Starfox. Throw the fans a bone. Or maybe do a spin-off like Adventures, but really good this time. 2€ for F-Zero. Whether it's a remaster, compilation, or brand new thing, I want to more of that!  1€ for Rhythm Heaven. Why waste time with 1-2 Switches, when this could be the perfect mini-game compilation? And because I assume the rest of the franchises are free, add Golden Sun and Mole Mania into the mix for a truly winning launch

I'd go for:    Pokémon Beige (£5) - The latest and greatest Pokémon game, with all existing Pokémon all here on the Switch 2! Plus 115 brand new Pokémon! Set in the Pokémon version of North Korea, your have to battle your way up to defeating the Elite 4 (Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Il, Kim Il Sung, and Gary). Pokémon Taupe (£5) - The exact same game again! But this one has 4 Pokémon that you cannot get in Beige!  And finally, Pokémon Chartreuse (£5) - This one has Pikachu. With a new hat.  

Matt Booty is the worst of them. Supposed to be head of Microsoft Game Studios and can't even get a team's name correct on occasion. The other two don't work for Xbox to be honest, just Twitter journos and leakers.  I think this is the death knell for Xbox as a console manufacturer. Wii U was a bigger disaster, no doubt, but Nintendo had some solid games from 2014 onwards and manged to steer the ship out of troubled waters with the Switch. I don't see Xbox releasing anything of note in the next 12-18 months to turn this around, even if they do try a hail mary and release new hardware or a handheld. It's over. They have proven consistently that they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. The management, or lack thereof, of their games and their studios is absolutely shocking. Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, Matt Booty and Aaron Greenberg should all have been fired long ago. They don't even have the hardcore fans on board anymore. I know these directives are all likely coming down from MS themselves, but Phil and co have had years now to just release some decent games and they have not done it outside of one or two in a sea of utter failures. 

Source Apparently, Mario actually went on to play Baseball before Tennis. My bad.
