Re: Soapbox: After 10 Years I Finally Got A Wii U, Here’s What I Thought

Blue_Rover

Will always hold a special place in my heart for a couple of reasons. It introduced my two oldest children to the delights of Nintendo especially the insane roster of characters playing Super Smash. Secondly, it was the last joint family Christmas present from my parents before my Dad become ill. For that reason alone I will never get rid of it. I know it certainly had its shortcomings but what can I say...I am looking at it through rose tinted glasses with misty eyes...

And the legacy continues as my youngest two (6 year old twins) just love playing NintendoLand and Yoshis Wooly World...

Re: Wii U's Getting A New Game, And This Will Probably Be The Last

Wii U will always hold a very special place in my heart. I still have mine set up. It introduced my oldest two children to the Nintendo franchises they continue to love. The memories playing NintendoLand with them that Christmas we got it are fondly remembered. The fact it was bought for my family by my mum and dad before their health deteriorated and my dad has since passed away, just makes that attachment more keen. I know am a sentimental old fool but I will never get rid of the console...

Re: Mojang Is Adding Cloud Save Support To Minecraft Dungeons Next Week

Blue_Rover

What happens, does anyone know, if you have a game save on two platforms currently. Are they both made available to both platforms? My main save is on switch but I have a save from Xbox game pass that I wouldn't really want to overwrite or cause issues with my switch save...

EDIT: It looks like from the article now that you choose which hero to upload to the cloud which makes it a lot easier to manage. Assuming after that it just syncs each time.

Re: Reminder: You Can Now Download A Demo Of Immortals Fenyx Rising From The Switch eShop

I picked it up on Playstation and have enjoyed it. Bright, colourful and quite light-hearted. A few people have mentioned the banter between Zeus and Prometheus as corny but I found some of it laugh out loud funny, Might be me though... Its fun just running about and finding stuff as there always seems to be one more thing to do, chest, challenge, group of monsters to fight... It doesn't take itself too seriously and I don't think the player should either...

Re: Blood Bowl 3 Brings Violent Fantasy Football To The Nintendo Switch In 2021

Blue_Rover

Absolutely loved the board game (still have a boxed 2nd Edition with the two hardback supplement books) but I never got into the console versions. I have BB2 on the XB1 but try as I might it just doesn't click. No matter how random these things are it always seems harsher with a virtual dice roll rather than seeing the cubed devils deliver a crushing blow in real life...

Re: Video: Let's Take A Tour Of London's Pop Up Pokémon Center, Shall We?

@kyleforrester87 Thanks for the heads up. Kind of thinking it will be a wasted trip when we go. Certainly, don't want to spend the day queueing thats for sure. Waiting for 6 even 10 hours is just something I cannot do, no way, but each to their own and I certainly admire the will of those people wanting to queue up to get in.

Re: Review: Super Mario World - Phenomenal Platforming Perfection

Blue_Rover

I can remember spending Christmas Day the year I got a SNES for Christmas playing this all day. After completing it, going back and finding the secret paths and then realising you can complete it very quickly using the warp paths. It's a joy to play now as much as it was then. Only thing thats poor is the fact I am not as good at platformers as I clearly was... I blame old age

We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing...

Re: Review: Motorsport Manager For Nintendo Switch - A Winning Formula For F1 Fans

Blue_Rover

I'm enjoying it. Not something I normally go for and not a big fan of the current F1 but this feels good. Hasn't felt too difficult to start with to be honest as I won the constructors and drivers in the first season (I just felt it eased you in nicely besides there are three difficulty levels as well). There is plenty of help icons in the tutorial you can use to explain how the systems work so I thought it strange the review makes comment regarding a revelation about intermediate tyres in wet weather. The tyres in particular explain conditions and even laps expected out of them before they need changing.
