Just grabbed this for £1.99 in the current eShop sale. Enjoyed it on Vita and ready to play it again!

Have a rest, Hello games. You've done enough.

Picked this up recently in a sale for about £3. I've only ever played Quake 2 before on the PS1, but this is an amazing package, especially for such a low price. I was also delighted by the fact gyro aiming still works when using my Hori Split Pad in handheld, which does not have gyro. It must be using the gyro in the screen itself which begs the question, why don't the likes of Zelda and Mario support this too instead of locking all the gyro use to the joycons.

Just reading this review now in March 2023 and it made me laugh where you commented on The Witcher 3 and Dark Souls, followed by "not that you'll be seeing either of those on Switch".

Haha, that didn't age too well!

Stumbled across this game whilst searching for 'best rally games on Switch'. Gave the demo a quick try on Android and it seems great (aside from touch controls) so planned to pick it up on Switch. All the comments here seem to suggest the game is £4.99 though and it's not, it's £11.99 which is slightly less of an 'impulse buy' price. Added to wish list though!

@kosterix Possibly the worst comment I've seen on this site, and given the utter dross most comment sections are full of, that's saying something. Assuming nobody who enjoyed the game actually played it? Well I did. You're just what the internet needs less of: arrogant, sneering toxicity.

Picked this up for a couple of quid in a Switch sale recently and absolutely loved it. The puzzles, the atmosphere, the Bjorkalike narration, it's just such a nice, relaxing game. Would recommend to anyone, but if you see it in a sale it's really a must have purchase. Haven't really seen any talk of this game online since it was released which is a shame, because it's an absolute gem and deserved more attention than it seemed to get.

@dimi It's not available free with subscription on other systems. There are none on Gamepass, and possibly GTA 3 on PS Plus if it's still there. San Andreas left Gamepass ages ago, and either way the trilogy has never been on either service.

@Silly_G What you on about? The game has been in ongoing development since it was released. They just mean that they will continue to add new features and updates, not that the Switch port won't be ready and will release half done.

Uh, a Puyo-Puyo reskin? The NES shooter looks interesting at least.

@AG_Awesome There is one, isn't there? I'd rather play them in their original, pixelated state though, much prefer that to fake smoothing.

I just think these SP versions are so pointless. Who's actually playing them? I don't. I bundle them all together and put them at the bottom of the list. Such a weird waste of time to even put these things together and upload them to the service. 🤷

@syrupdash I can 100% guarantee that it will not also include the games from the first Megadrive mini.

@BrazillianCara They can't really, because everyone would just import them from really cheap countries in bulk.

@zool It's 9.5p a day, are you thinking of the family pass?

@Magrane Ah no, you know what, you're right! I forgot there were two. They were both 2D brawlers, but TMNT was definitely the better of the two. It had quite a different graphical style, almost cell shaded sort of.

@Magrane It was just called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Looks cool, but I'd be happy losing the NES version of Tournament Fighters to make way for the excellent GBA game. Hopefully it's added as DLC later?

@GrailUK Why? Did you stop listening after launch day --- over 5 years ago?

@WallyWest No it doesn't, it runs absolutely perfectly on a standard PS4.

@Medic_Alert Genuinely amazed! It's like ten times faster, improves the game so much!

The song is called I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - not '...Close My Eyes'.

Anyway, just picked this up for a couple of quid in the sale. Seems OK, but is the whole game at night? That's disappointed me more than it probably should.

The Split Pad Pro is brilliant in handheld, but I just use my PS4 pad when it's docked.

@Bunkerneath Same here man. It's gone from 100% day one purchase to 'I'll wait for a sale". I think the Switch port could look better, and the fact all the games aren't on the cart is disappointing too. Just not a brilliant deal for Switch owners. Might just play SA on Gamepass for now.

Physical releases are becoming more and more obsolete, but the trouble is the preservation of digital titles is nowehere near good enough yet to make this OK.

So...a little pricier than I'd have liked, but pretty much what I was expecting, and I'm still there day one. Can't wait to play these games again, and in handheld!

@Mobiusman No you can't.

Why are there already 4 user reviews with an average 8.8 rating? I mean, why do you let users review a game they've not even played yet? 🤷‍♂️

Picked this up in a recent sale for around £3 on Switch, despite having previously owned it on PC, iPad and Android. Never actually put much time it over those three systems though, and this seems great so far on Switch.

Looks like they've smashed the kickstarter now, $56000! Well done, guys!

@anoyonmus They did yeah, Simon Cardy reviewed it and simply reprinted his previous review, saying "When EA release a new version, I'll write a new review". Was pretty funny 😆

@NintendoWiiDS I really enjoy the NBA 2K games and play them on both Switch and PS4 - saying they have almost identical graphics is a stretch. The PS4 version looks far, far better than the Switch one, and runs at 60fps vs the Switch's 30. I genuinely think the Switch versions of those games look great, but there's no way they compare to PS4/Xbox.

@EmmatheBest Haha yeah, although that was a bit different in that the Dreamcast could ridiculously just play burned games straight out the box! Unbelievable really!

All these people listing their games and file sizes in bizarrely specific replies that nobody needed.

Paraphrased translations are better than word for word Google translations.

Just saying.

I think this looks cool. Hope it's got a jazz-noir soundtrack. Get some Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore on there...

@sikthvash Ah my bad, apologies.

@sikthvash As both the headline and the article say, they published it on Switch.

Twitter do this all the time, and it's not acceptable. Ban people if you need to, sure. But at least tell them ***** why.

@KingMike Well yeah, but presumably the question of legality would be from Nintendo's point of view, not the terms and conditions of Kickstarter.

Fast Food Dizzy...

Well that was the quickest I've ever gone from Woooooo! to Boooooo!

😆

Well I'm really disappointed it's not coming to Switch. I'll play it on PS4 or Xbox, but I'd have loved to play it handheld. I'd even have been happy with straight up ports of the original 3 games.

Loved this on Vita, played it again on PS4 and would happily buy it again for Switch if it's reasonably priced.

I absolutely loved The Witcher 3 on PS4, but never played the DLC so plan on picking up the Switch version at some point to play the game again plus DLC. Is Thronebreaker worth playing though? Had it on my wish list for a while but never pulled the trigger yet. I know it's had good reviews. Anyone here vouch for it?

Blazing Beaks - rogue-lite, twin stick shooting, dungeon crawler in which you control various water based birds. (Usually about £2)

Q-Yo Blaster - fantastic shmup, almost Cuphead style graphics, interesting levels and bosses, very fun. (Usually about 89p).

Crayola Scoot - brilliant for kids. Like a cross between Tony Hawks and Splatoon. Actually really quite decent. (Usually about £2.50 when it's in a sale).

Pikuniku - crazy puzzle platform adventure, funny, charming, delightful. (Usually about 99p in sales).

Hard West - cowboy based X-com style strategy game. Looks great and has a cool story too. (I paid £7 in a sale ages ago and didn't regret it, but it's almost always under £4 nowadays).

There are absolutely loads of great games on Switch for £3 and under especially in the sales.

@Not_Soos And don't forget for a long, long time, all FPS games were called 'Doom clones'. Like FPS didn't even exist. I remember lists of top games in old gaming magazines, and where it listed the genre if it was an FPS it said 'Doom clone', and then for the actual game of Doom it simply said 'IT'S DOOM!'.

@Kabloop Operation Logic Bomb is on the Switch online too (and is actually one of the better games mentioned in this article). I can't really think of a good reason to own these two collections though, they really are average at best aren't they!

@Slinkoy1 I wouldn't be looking to 'upgrade', but if they end up doing what happened with the 3DS and start releasing games that only work on the new model or at least run a lot better, then I'd think about it. Having said that, I can't see Switch being 4k any time soon. It's too much of a leap from the current tech used. Maybe in a few years, but Nintendo have never been one to try to keep up with MS and Sony have they.

@Stremon I think you've been needlessly patronising to people on here, but you're right, that was out of order. I've removed it.

@Stremon Don't talk nonsense. They once said we'd never fill a 100mb hard drive. Technology moves on exponentially. Of course its possible to do more.
