@Ham-n-jam yes totally agree, I bought one of the easy SMX controllers earlier this year. Had great reviews. Maybe if you only use the analog sticks. The Dpad is absolutely terrible its literally only 4way the diagonals aren't there!! Trying to play Neon inferno was practically impossible lol. So im weary of purchasing anymore controllers. Modern ones anyway, I'll stick with 8bitdo they are great.
Personally these games were designed for VR, the depth & scale can't be replicated on flat screen. No doubt still good, but if you've played both in VR you'll get my point.
Even more reason not to buy a PS6, no doubt the Sony fanboys will just shrug it off. But Nintendo get torn apart with the key cards. Thankfully I spend my money on retrogaming. Where these small devs are passionate about keeping physical media.
I've been hoping for Zelda to look like the E3 2011 tech demo. Still looks stunning. Im hoping the remake of Ocarina resembles this. If Starfox is anything to go by, we could be in for something really amazing with OoT.
Yes preordered straight away, also bought an N64 controller to get the real controls from the original. Hope it doesn't disappoint & they've optimised the game properly for the joypad.
Again another joke of a review, have ZPF on my Megadrive. Its bloody brilliant, brilliant level design, music, gameplay. Again if you love shmups it deserves to be in your collection, along with Earthion.
@Potimarron yep been waiting for Axelay 2, probably never happen. Also it would probably be spoilt anyway. Axelay is still one of my favourite shmups of all time.
Whoever reviews these games is laughable, this game is a shmup. The design & essence of this type of game doesn't have loads of depth and huge levels. Gamers like me who love these type of games, no exactly what to expect. Fun, replayability, addictive gameplay.
The thing that gets me is the hardware being locked behind a subscription. Then you can't own the games. Basically your renting them. But as im a sucker I want one lol 😆 😂
No surprise there, they want you to pay a subscription so you never own the games. Just let me buy the damn games I want. Its like the virtual boy. You can't buy the device unless you have a Nintendo subscription!! That really pisses me off.
Love these games, definitely getting this now, run time isn't an issue for me. Its all about quality over quantity, 30+ hours of padded out ***** ain't my thing.
@CaptainQuo totally agree, its these sad youtube channels that do these silly comparisons. Pointing out a few more blades of grass or a reflection in a puddle.
As much as I love Sonic. Its about time Sega dug deep into its amazing back catalogue of arcade titles. And brought em back, a new Sega rally, Daytona, Outrun, would be great.
Really pisses me off, you can't just buy the VB add on, without an online membership. Yes i know i would need one to play the games. But at least give me the choice!
You should know by now, patience is required especially with Nintendo announcements. I have a back catalogue on various formats to work through. So in no rush, unfortunately dont have as much time as i would like to game. Let's be honest Switch 2 has long legs like Switch 1. So plenty to look forward to.
Nintendo is KING !! its funny how the haters just can't deal with it. Its all about frame rates & resolutions to most of these clowns. I play videogames for gameplay first & foremost.
@Davestator I know the feeling mate lol , i have a retro freak console. So i can savestate still struggle with this one. Im hoping for Rtype delta HD boosted for Xmas, no doubt another struggle. Personally I would like these devs to put an easier mode on these games, for old farts like me lol
@Davestator yes i know the feeling, shmups are my favourite genre. But this game kills me. I can never get past the level where the screen scrolls backwards, drives me mad lol.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Link's New Ocarina Of Time Design?

Re: Review: ZPF (Switch) - A Unique-Feeling Mega Drive Shooter With Some Switch Issues

Re: Nintendo Seemingly Rules Out Virtual Console Revival, Says It Remains Focused On Offering Classics Via Switch Online

Re: Review: Reanimal (Switch 2) - Little Nightmares Team Delivers Its Darkest, Boldest Vision Yet
@Strumpan agreed, dont get this obsession with every game needing to be 30+ hours. Those games bore me.
