Blast16

Played 50+ hours and completed many runs on S1. Had a blast with the mp gameplay during the holidays! Some of the builds, like shuriken mentioned above, can be ridiculous!

If you like arcade gameplay and upgrades offered at regular intervals throughout, highly recommend. 4P is the best, but I spent several hours on 1P runs and enjoyed myself.

Nintendo Cinematic Universe? 🤢

Also, the comments section? 🤢

@YANDMAN turbo was mentioned / confirmed in the long feature list.

The price of the S2 Pro hurt, but it is a stellar controller so far.

@-wc- I think I paid $9.99 for SEGA Picross, so these new ones, including the Capcom game, are almost twice as expensive. $9.99 was good impulse buy pricing for me on these, but I won’t pay $18. I like a puzzle game now and then but it’s not one of my main genres.

@-wc- The sea was angry that day my friends 😂

Okay, Rondo of Blood when? 😎

@Scollurio in solidarity:

SEGA!!!!

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful day 😃

@AussieMcBucket I just remember back to the 360 days where it seemed there were lots of demos to try on xbla. Maybe it just was for games I was already considering, lol. But when it comes to N games they are more expensive than my usual picks so it helps me gauge the Nintendo “value.” I bought Devil’s Third. I clearly make good choices!

@The_Nintendo_Expat you make a good point! Differently is probably he right way to put it. I tend to buy almost 100% independent small studio games on modern consoles and they usually stay under $30 even. $80? 🤢 spew into this 🥛

@Paper_Yoshi if every N game had a demo I would likely buy more of their games, but their prices are high compared to the games I routinely buy (in the $10-40 area), so I usually only get them if I am really sure I’ll like it. If I can get 2-3+ games I know I like instead of just 1 that I might, I go the prior route.

That’s a crazy amount of fixes. It’s too bad they weren’t there before the game launched.

@AussieMcBucket lol, was going to leave a price comment and you did it first!!

And nice Dr. Evil reference 😂

@The_Nintendo_Expat Nope! Let me know when this comments section plays out their last scene 😃

Wish I could have this bucket while I read the comments, lol. What a ***** show.

If anything, I’d like more knockout tour races and Grand Prix. 200cc would be nice to have too! I’m almost done three starring the last handful of mirror mode races.

Next 3D Mario when? I’m hoping sooner than later.

Relieved to hear this news.

I really hope Konami does a retail hard copy release, instead of someone like LRG. Castlevania is one of my favorite series, so I don’t want to feel stuck waiting to play this months after launch. Do it, Konami!

Excited to try this! Hoping for a game card release.

Picked up Balatro last summer on Amazon deal $14 physical. I instantly was addicted and won with a few decks. Amazing game but after my 20-hour stint inside a couple nights where I was at it until the sun came up and the servers led me to the comped buffet, I quit cold turkey. Not sure it’s a healthy thing for me to play this one, lol.

I WANT to play it again now…

X-Men Arcade Collection!! Also featuring…other stuff. I have most of these Genesis and SNES carts but I’m in for the two arcade games if the price is fair and the emulation is good or better.

Anyone here play these Carbon Engine games by LRG? How’s input latency? Sound? Are the CRT scanline options any good?

Why let people buy a game when they can rent it forever?

Modern gaming. Lots to enjoy, lots to loathe.

Very punchable face. James Drake: The College Years 😂

Doesn’t really sound like Bond to me, oh well. I just hope it’s fun to play! I’ll be waiting on the reviews and Switch 2 performance. May get on PS5 if it’s worth it.

Excited for this and hope I gel with it! Not sold on it yet but I can’t wait to play it. Fingers crossed!

Go away, Ubi. Nobody wants to play with you anymore.

@Serpenterror AND THE SOUL STILL BURNS

I’m ready for Soul Calibur. Incredible Dreamcast launch title. I want Dynamite Cop and Zombie Revenge! Great list, btw.

I just want 60fps. Whatever concessions need to happen for a locked 60, I’d be fine with. I hope this will go on to a retail game card release like the other collections. If it does I will instabuy as it’s my favorite TR I’ve played to date.

After 2014 everything I’ve played of theirs has been recycled or lazy slop. I stay away now.

On topic, I hope they will help these people find new employment.

Edit: I did forget one thing, and I am excited, based off the back of the review here on N Life, to play the 2024 Prince of Persia.

Black Ops 2 mp would be my pick, and I was sad when N shut off the servers in 2024. I don't even like CoD or any online fps but somehow that one was amazing fun for years.

I hope they will put Space Invaders on Taito Milestones 5.

Since this has become a request section, I’d love a new 2D classicvania sprite game akin to something like ReBirth. M2 remade Haunted Castle and that was excellent, so hire them and get it done 😃 speaking of, I need to replay that one soon.

Also, port ReBirth to Switch. All of them, pretty please. It’s money on the table.

I absolutely love Tormented Fathers. One of the best horror games I’ve played, and replayed, all time.

I’ll definitely check out Bye Sweet Carole.

Page reloaded itself while taking the quiz. Oh well.

Hoping this fixed build is on the cart due out in March. I’m very excited to play this one!

@Glassneedles ah, it’s been a while since I ran my Wii discs on the Wii U. I had forgotten they always run in SD. Thanks for the reminder!

Unless the update is a lower price I’m good 🙂 Actually, I’ve got them on Wii which play on my Wii U in HD so I’m good. But they are expensive.

Fix it up nice nice, put it complete on a cart and I will buy for $30-35 😃 I really enjoyed this one. Probably my favorite Tomb Raider game.

If not, that’s okay. I’ll stick with my 360 and PS4 disc copies.

@YANDMAN 100% agreed on your entire comment. I have also played through several times and will continue to go back and improve my skill. The music and arrangements are just incredible and everything else feels just right in line with a MD game from the mid 1990s, only heavily polished. Beautifully done pixel art, controls feel great and accurate to a retro game, which is probably the most important thing they’ve achieved. It FEELS like a retro arcade shooter. Has an Aliens 3 feel, along with a little Contra, Rolling Thunder, etc. looking forward to going back to it. I’ve probably played about 7-8 hours, and it will be joining other coveted games on my “replay every year or two” list.

I have the NES game, and that’s enough for me.

@Elektrogeist1287 wow, good to know. Was this on S1 or S2? I have S1 and am wanting to give them a go again someday but in no rush.

@Flashlink99 thanks for the reply! If I can find a discount on S2 I might bite. I missed the cyber Monday sale…

Missed it. They’re gone.

Just bought RDR physical on BF for $17 lol. Nice to know it’s a free S2 upgrade.

Next move is to finally put the other GTA games on S1/2.

How did the GTA trilogy turn out? Is it still ***** on Switch?

Getting excited for this one! But no way am I spoiling it for myself! Going to snatch a physical copy and wait until March to find out what’s in store 😎

Anyone else do that still?

I’ll check it out. I’m on a games hiatus so this might just hit the spot.

I don’t yet own Switch 2, but I am watching the launch of Switch 2 closely and understand why so many have opted for a cheaper dock. Price gouging from the manufacturer.

Admittedly, I don’t ever take chances on any of my hardware whether it be video gaming or musical instruments, etc., but this stuff has truly become luxury items. They always were, but now we’re really paying out for it.

As a long-time Nintendo and home console buyer, I’m having pause for the first time since the mid ‘90s buying the newest hardware without question, interrupting a 30+ year ritual of “I’ll get it up front and be happy later.” I’m not sure I like the direction of Switch 2 just yet, and Nintendo’s not doing many favors for their image, respectfully—in my opinion, of course.

In closing, despite my own personal concerns for Switch 2 and Nintendo as a company at present, you never buy a third party accessory so early, hehe. You’re all very brave! ✌️😃

@ArmenianJedi13 so they can explain everything step by step like we’ve never heard of Nintendo or video games, lol. Their gameplay demos are so boring. I’ve stopped tuning in to those.

@dazzleshell thank you, that is a good idea, but I tend to be sentimental with my gaming hardware so I’ll likely keep my switch and save for switch 2. I’m looking forward to the exclusive switch 2 library of games, so for now I’m going to begin putting a little money aside and play wait and see ✌️

@Res462 as a customer with a Switch 1, I’d love to be incentivized enough to want the Switch 2. For the money, it’s not worth it yet.

@Dee123 but that’s pretty much what it is. Lol.

@Turbotendo I don’t have PSVR2, so I’ll be stuck with a flat screen base PS5 experience for RE9. I never got to try my brother-in-law’s VR1 for RE7, but that would’ve been really cool. Currently on Switch 1, not sold yet on Switch 2.
