I'm quite interested in both Ciel Fledge and Vitamin Connection but I'm pretty busy with other games at the moment so I'll hold out for now.
Interestingly the official press release listed SEGA AGES Sonic 2, but I think that was an error :/
Picked up Sonic 2 and I rarely use scan lines or filters on retro games as they always look a bit too dark and don't really replicate the look of games back then. However the vintage filter on this looks great and I'll probably use it all the time, also there are some great additions to what was already a fantastic game and that Japanese cover art was always gorgeous
@antdickens Wasn't an error, it's out on the eShop.
@BenAV great, I'll add it in!
Oh look at that, no Sanic 2.
I'm sure untold tears wil be shed by that omission.
No word on Panzer Dragoon yet ?
edit: oh joy sanic 2 is out after all.
so much for tears
Been waiting for 50% off resident evil 5 and 6..... Still waiting.
I'm quite keen on Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo. I had a couple of the titles on the last compilation but none of these. Just perfect for Flip Grip and my rotating TV!
Also, is DMC III a reasonable place to dip a toe in this series? I quite enjoyed the Bayonetta Games...
@Blister By far the best DMC game on the switch I would say.
What bothered me the most about Bayonetta is that the flow of gameplay was constantly interupted by score screens after each encounter which is not present in DMC 3 thank goodness.
20 euro is a fair price or wait for a sale we all know Capcom loves their sales so they can sell their switch games for a proper price
It's Sonic 2sday for me.
I'm glad there's a Langrisser demo!
Will download the Langrisser demo as soon as I get home 🏠
@Blister If you have other consoles. The HD Collection on 360 and PS3 can be found for a fraction of that port's price.
Nothing for me given backlog. Will get double dragon if / when heavily discounted.
@Gwynbleidd Gorogoa is one of the best Puzzle games on switch and that is a much more reasonable price for it
Sonic 2 last night! Forgot how annoying the end of Chemical Zone Act 2 is!
Does this Sonic 2 have the extra stage from the mobile version
@Angelic_Lapras_King @khululy
Thanks! As I have no other console option I think awaiting the inevitable eshop sale seems reasonable! 👍
