Was going to choose GB but the NGC just nudges it out for me. Mainly because I hear it and then in my head it's followed by Double Dash's music. Then followed by screams of pain and evil laughter. I know it's not a console start up but a big shout out to the Capcom start up sound they used to use. Amazing nostalgia.
Cyber protocol doesn't look bad at that price. Already bought Psychonauts today for 91p though so a whole pound on games could be pushing it... Ah what the heck. It's pay day next week. 😄
I like to be shell shocked during a "Direct". Announcement after announcement without time to think. Shadow drop here and there for good measure. I want to come out stunned and wanting to watch it again... I just want a Nintendo Direct now!
Honestly can't wait. Even the sub par Wii U game I play still. Was warioware on the DS that got me back into gaming after going through a phase of not enjoying it and selling all my stuff.
Got outer wilds free for watching an E3 presentation on my Xbox one year. Honestly would have parted good money for it. Great game and looking forward to the expansion. Not going to double dip though.
For me couch co-op will always rule. Seeing my friends face as I throw a bowser shell backwards on DK mountains bridge on the final lap, sending him over the edge and into last place as my other friends and I laugh so hard it hurts (we would often do team play.) It's the little moments. One I think doesn't translate online. Same for borderlands and l4d. Enjoy online but couch co-op feels so much more fun. Plus having a few beers together always sets the atmosphere.
One of the few celebrities that hit me hard when he passed away. I was being treated for depression at the time as well so hit a raw nerve. I personally really miss him and think his range of acting was truly something special. The world according to Garp and one hour photo are truly brilliant examples of this.
@Truedoogie Thank you so much for correcting my grammar. I feel so much better now. It's like a weight has been lifted. I can now rest easy that everyone can understand my post. Obviously it was completely illegible without your input.
Just about to do my mother in law's and my right stick. Got 6 replacement sticks for £10. Have some thermal pads I may try this out on my one to see if it works (have Zelda joy cons due this week.)
Solid direct. People jumping up and down about games not being announced. Nintendo are in a strange place as if they had of shown a Zelda collection and a glut of other titles the fans would still moan it wasn't enough (same every E3 and direct.) Considering we are still in a pandemic they did good. Shouldn't have been called E3 this year. Just "The Nintendo and Microsoft show."
I've got a days worth of toil to take in work so need to know when it's going to be. Honestly can't wait. Hoping no "exclusive" games for the pro though as they will be rocking horse poo for the next year or so.
Thank the gods my son is now into more grown up stuff now (1½ years older makes such a difference.) He would have been all over this and Paw Patrol. He's into a lot of Cartoon network stuff and loving the studio Ghibli films.
Bought this in the Xbox sale the other week for £4.18. Amazing value at that price but would honestly say worth the asking price on the switch. Only reason I bought it was I was fed up of waiting for the switch version.
You just have to see the "community" after a Nintendo direct to see how venomous people can be over things so petty. "They didn't announce (insert game here) doesn't Nintendo know there user base? That's it (insert game, developer, console or Nintendo) is dead to me." Every. Single. Time.
First game I ever double dipped. Had it on the Megadrive. Did a weekend job at a picture framers to help pay for it. Then bought the rather brilliant Delphine Soft collection on the Amiga 500 I inherited from my brother. Amazing game. Have Fade to Black on PlayStation sitting in my spare room.
Gamepass here as well. Made me smile at the MGS level. Wife asking me why I was laughing when I came up to bed last night. "Cloud? Cloud? Clooooouuudd?"
@Kevember is it wrong I like them all for different reasons? It's my all time favourite series. BOTW is my favourite (mainly because of when it came out I had so much going on in my personal life it was an amazing escape.) I'm one of those people who would buy any Zelda game released/re-released/remastered and just get swept away again. Twilight Princess was my final game bought for my cube. Played it again on Wii a couple of years later and loved it. Am hoping it does get released for switch this year with windwaker.
This is definitely on my radar with blade runner as well. Found an old retro magazine disc with Beneath a Steal Sky on the other day while sorting stuff. Shame my laptop is dead!
If Nintendo can celebrate a year of Luigi you can bet my first born it will celebrate Zelda's 35th anniversary... Let's just wait. Looking forward to skyward sword.
I'd give this direct a 7 out of 10 for me. If I was into RPGs would be a solid 10. Nintendo are honestly playing a loosing game as no matter how much they churn out the fans always expect more. While Sony fans are happy with the odd exclusive and Xbox fans are happy with anything (own all except PS5 but will grab one at some point.) Nintendo do need to do some more full fat directs this year though. Covid has ballsed up so much.
Original voice of claptrap?... David Eddings! Will always be claptrap to me. Borderlands 3 voice sounds off to me. Also Jack Black is going to butcher this. I had such low expectations for the movie. Seems they keep getting lower and lower.

Lovely set of joy cons. Really happy with them.
Re: Video: Unboxing The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Joy-Con Controllers, amiibo And Game

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Hits Switch This July Alongside Themed Joy-Con
I'd give this direct a 7 out of 10 for me. If I was into RPGs would be a solid 10. Nintendo are honestly playing a loosing game as no matter how much they churn out the fans always expect more. While Sony fans are happy with the odd exclusive and Xbox fans are happy with anything (own all except PS5 but will grab one at some point.) Nintendo do need to do some more full fat directs this year though. Covid has ballsed up so much.

Re: Jack Black Will Voice Claptrap In The Borderlands Movie
Original voice of claptrap?... David Eddings! Will always be claptrap to me. Borderlands 3 voice sounds off to me. Also Jack Black is going to butcher this. I had such low expectations for the movie. Seems they keep getting lower and lower.
