Re: The Super NES Classic Edition Hides the Classic Controller Connector Ports

@jswhitfield8

Less worried about the old one being limited edition. More thinking I can finally play Secret of Mana 3 player on Wii with the proper controller!

I like the idea of the SNES mini, but I have all the games I want to play on here on my Wii/Wii u. As adorable as this is I can just see it gathering dust... Despite that I want one!

Re: Sega Forever Aims To Revive The Company's Past On Mobile, But Could Come To Switch

@banjopickles

Yes I know. It's very sad. When Sega started releasing HD remakes of Saturn and Dreamcast games on the last gen of consoles I got excited. Then they release some really odd choices... None of my faves then stop. So disappointed then!

Reality is, even though SF3 and PD saga are two of the best games of all time, very few people know about them so a re-release would never sell.

Shenmue at least has the reputation, and Sega still missed that...

Re: Sega Is Looking To Revive Some Of Its Past Classics

I'm actually more up for remakes/ports than sequels (look at sonic and nights...). But definitely need:
Shenmue Hd
Shining force 3 (all of the series if we're feeling generous)
Skies of Arcadia hd
Panzer dragoon hd (especially Saga)

A new streets of rage in a retro style would be great. An new ecco (I enjoyed the Dreamcast game quite a lot).

Chi Chu rocket would make an excellent mobile game. No idea why this hasn't been done

Re: UK Retailer GAME Is Cancelling Nintendo Switch Preorders Days Before Launch

Alexface

I have never once been able to buy online from Game. Forget pre-ordering. Things that are already available.

Every single time I get a message saying they'd cancelled the order due to issues with my card. No messages from the bank. Try again. Still failed. Try another card. Failed again. Different bank. Still fail.

I just don't use their website anymore. It's a shame because they are really the only place on the high st to buy games near me, and it's only the stores that will suffer in the end

Re: Persona 5 Will Not Be Coming to the Switch

Alexface

Bit disappointed. Currently playing through P3P on my vita and was starting to get concerned that I wouldn't enjoy P5 on a TV. I enjoy RPGs like this as a pick up and play, leave in rest mode kind of thing, not being forced to adhere to save points.

Obviously they won't port to Vita, but Switch would have been a nice alternative. Given Atlus's history of doing updated ports maybe there's a possibility eventually

Re: Feature: Hopes and Dreams for Nintendo's 2017

Alexface

I think the key thing for me is that the third party support is either brand new games/IPs, or at least release parity. The Wii u's downfall in that regard is because most third party publishers released games that were already a year old (and therefore already owned on ps3 of 360).

Nintendo (and publishers) need to be conscious that Sony and Microsoft have already sold what 60-70m consoles, so anything for a core gamer has probably already been purchased on one of those consoles.

Re: ​Talking Point: Ports vs. Sequels On The Nintendo Switch

Alexface

I think you need a combination. If be less inclined to buy a straight up port of a Wii u game, it's need some significant extras. On the other hand if they did more HD versions of GameCube classics I would definitely buy them. Massive misses opportunity on Wii U as we only really saw Zelda releases. What about Mario sunshine? Thousand door kingdom?

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th March (Europe)

Alexface

As well as other people I wish Nintendo were offering some kind of cross buy discount. I've bought these games already - I'm not buying them again. I understand there is cost involved but charge us £1 like you do with the Wii U.

I'd also like to see different games. Not just the same ones again and again that I've bought on Wii and then Wii U, give us some variety!

Re: Sega Producer Explains Exactly What Went Wrong With Sonic Boom

Alexface

I never played sonic boom on wii u. I pmayed a demo on 3ds and was disapointed. Everytime I read an interview with devs it seems they dont get Sonic. The original games had speed. They also had control. All games post SA2 have had either speed or control but not both. Even the sonic advance games struggled with control. Sonic is single player at heart, coop only works in the right situations, stop shoehorning it into every game.
