Im like 4/5 episodes in and I must be one of the few RE fans thats enjoying the thing.
It doesnt take itself seriously at all the better for that cheesy B movie vibe (the whole sequence with arguably best character in the series say it all.....and moments after too......that super chessy delivery of a classic line also made me chuckle and cringe at the same time)

Im probably liking it more because I hardly like the games for the story but more for that comfy gameplay and some jump scares.

Im glad Im not one to just write something off just because of some opinions. (Works both ways though....found clocktower 3 and rule of rose for cheap recently........cult classics......supposedly.
dropped both within 2 hrs into the games)

Never realised that Nintendo soundtracks are so desirable.
I got two copies of Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack free from club nintendo (I had to use up my point s before rhey shut up the store for good)

Time to see if they are worth anythin lol

I literally can hum two of the pre built songs despite not plaiying it for 25 years (twinkle twinkle rendition and the default one....the one with the dog bark.........cant remember the third one. I keep thinking its a rendition of Super Mario overworld theme)

Any info on the 'EX' options for all the titles?
Trailers dont show much.....one with Puzzle Fighters where the secret characters can be selected (presuming the arcade originals you had to input a code to select them)

Whilst a there was a snippet of a darkstalkers where it looked like an EX option can turn off crouch blocking?
Be interesting to find out what other option are given (presuming they are like arcade dip stick switches)
Maybe infinate time in the rounds? Or unlimited super meter?

It was a surprise to see Hyper Street Fighter 2........I half expected to see collection containing

-Super Street Figher 2 Turbo/Hyper Street Fighter 2
-Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper/Hyper Street Fighter Alpha
-SFIV Arcade Edition/Omega SFIV

But at this rate it looks like Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper/Hyper Street Fighter Alpha/Omega SFIV will be lost in the future l. I half expected Hyper SF2 to be lost and never ported.
(SFIV QEwill eventually get a port on gererations down the line........)

@steizgr8
It not all a bad thing though......at least it will be fully patched up with the latest patches (you'd think)
Theres been some pretty big changes since launch.........physical collector prefer it all complete on cartridge.

I mean when your game is struggling to sell on the PC (3 years after release) when it goes on sale for $5.......releasing it on the switch is a great way to get people to pay full price again.
Oh and why not just add another $5 to the base price.......you know Nintendo/console tax and all.

Not really attack on the game itself just tactic on not even having price parity on a port of a 3 year old game.
But it doesnt really come as a surprise being a Nicalis release and all.

But an criticism on the trailer at least (the could have used PC video) ........at least put direct control in a port instead of making you control a cursor (aka mouse with a stick) on a console port

I considered picking up the retail Asian version (with eng) but was put up by reviews.

Part of me wants to pick it up (FOMO) and even added it to the basket after reading this article.
But I realise Id be breaking vow to only buy stuff I want to play (generally Im a sucker to dirt cheap games just because they are cheap. Buying due to FOMO is probaby just as bad)

Hopefully they will tighten up the actual gameplay along with the new rosta.
I found the original to be a bit floaty and a bit loose on execution (probably to appeal to the more casual Jo Jo Fans)

But being a Jo Jo fan I already preorder the Asian version......time to cancel so I can order the UK one.

Despite not being ideal (personally I prefer a hit to the resolution than the frame rate.......I say this but mutants year zero was probably a step too far)...... Some credit must be given to Namco for being partially transparent about it.

Most others would just say it runs at 60fps (or not even mention a target fps for the title?)

As long as its relatively stable I dont mind the dips.

Fairy fencer is definitely one of the better CH games.
I can deal with the switch to a srpg.....I mean the other games were essentially srpg (just without the grids)

But a rehash/reboot kinda puts me off. If it turns out into a "what if" scenario, it might be ok.
But it its just 90% retelling then Ill be questioning myself what is the point of it.

Ill still pick it up but I may not end up playing it till years later , unless its more than a retelling (story is still relatively fresh in my head)

Big fan of the game.
Dunno what to think about the DLC.........would have much prefered new boss battles.

But hey if the character plays dramatically different Ill take that.....I what they could do to make him pay dramatically different.
Only thing I can think off is to incorporate a bullet abortion/parry instead of a dodge move?

Im not writing the DLC off but Im defo curious to see some more info on the DLC.

@MasterGraveheart Leaving Android 21 (lab coat) the way is is has already done so much damage to the competitive scene so far (and thats just the lack of communication from Namco on if they are going to balance her)

Doing nothing could damage Namcos other series (eg Tekken/Soul Calibur) where people (FGC) think Namco just dont know what they are doing about balance
Upsetting/annoying your core customers is a sure way to increase sales right?

Only aspect Im curious about its the Enhanced EX setting.
They showed pocket fighters this time and Akuma being avaliable (presuming he wasnt avaliable in the arcade version without a code)

But it was with the last trailer and Dark stalkers Im more curious on. Whether it just means it with have the (small number of EX/DX options found on the home releases) An increase in EX options or being able to mix and match different character revisions ala the PSP release.

Or something else entirely eg a whole set of new EX options

I can kinda see why they did it to begin with.
Internet infrastructure is different world wide and distance can make a difference. (More so with with splatoon 2s peer2peer conections?)

Presumably they have improved their servers/set up servers instead of peer2peer using all that NOL money and thus providing a stable connection for all (well at least prevent one or two dodgy connection preventing it being a crap show for all)

Or they could do what every one else does and allow you to select your region in game.........or more advance (but still common) practice of matchmaking same local people together.
Unless someone has a decent stable connection/there are player sortages/teamed up with friends/etc

I was literally looking for patch notes for the previous update 1.7? Last week (I have played it for a month or so and hadnt update)

I gave up looking for them as I didn't know if the wiki for the PC patches matched.
This makes my life easier knowing that its in line with the PC version.

The super crate box vibes interest me but the single layer aspect less so......I might have to google if it remains like this throughout.

The title never really caught my attention because of the controls and the f2p nature (cant be dealing with ads when I have 5 min free here and there)

That said kinda like orangepixel games on mobile hoping for a port of space grunts 2.

I would have probably brought the game had I not know it was free on mobile........one to snap up on a sale I guess.....if I remember to

@aznable

The game looks janky as hell but it its £4.99 and not just a typo, even Im kinda tempted

@a1904 Anyone that really cared for a physical would have just imported (like myself)
It might be a pain but it is was it is and goes both ways sometimes EU gets physical versions of title that US dont.

There was a time where games just had multiple covers for the same region. It probably just fell into that fad........it might even be just the reversible cover (I cant be bothered to dig up my copy to see if its just simply this)

I imported a copy(Ps4) ......but it ended up in my back catalogue.

I probably would have prefered a portable version even if it takes a performance/graphical compromise.

My day one console is still fine I think.....I pretty much swapped the joycons for hori split controllers before any drifting could happen.

Only issue could be the battery? I play exclusively handheld but depending on what Im playing I get between 1 1/2 - 4hrs of playtime max.

Id say it closer to 2hrs for the majority of games (VN tend to drain the battery slowest) . I do have a OLED sat in a box.....I just dont fancy downloading everything.......and whilst my original works fine, I dont see the point.

Without going into too much detail.
A friend of a friend recently come into a haul of sealed pokemon booster boxes (Original, Jungle and fossils) I told them they are worth a bit......they sold a box for more than what I earn in 3 years lol

Buyers seemed happy enough that they passes his info to a 2nd buyer who then brought a box.

Shrug some people are so lucky XD (I was offered a box for letting them know and that..........but Im still waiting for it lol.....I dont seriously expect to get one)

Dont be another port.....something new please.!

As long as the 70 odd songs are mainly new stuff Ill snap it up (most likley import)

It might not beat some of the recent track lists in quantity but it still beats the PS2 days with 30-40 songs.

Still hoping Konami one day will revive its CS Bemani series one day..........(Ill take anything beatmani, pop n music, gitadora just throw us a bone Konami)

I loved the first one despite the card element being practically non existant (outside the buiding of 'units' round by round vs an MP system)

But I dont think I need carbon copy with a different story.
I think Ill see whats changed before investing in this title

@Precinct1313
There no question of a doubt more time was spent on death tank than Exhumed by probably 30 times as much.

@StefanN
Honestly a Microsoft buyout sound about right to me. (Not that I want this to happen)
The announcement of any new game wouldnt be a historic moment either to Yacht Club Games or the wider gaming community.

A buyout sound more of historic moment (to Yacht Club Games at least)
Unless they are planning to release a Yacht Club Console or something?
Maybe turning Shovel knight into a cartoon (cross media step......kinda historic)

Ive made some trade in mistakes as a kid (limited funds and all)

I traded in terranigma and got like £20 credit.....but saying that I paid like £20 for it to begin with. When telegames (?!) mail order company that advertised in CVG had a sale. So it felt like a good offer at the time.

But Biggest mistake was a Majoras mask adventure set. For whatever reason my woolworths was selling it for like £20.
Problem was I didnt have an expansion pak.
I happened to win a copy of donkey kong on swapitshop but couldnt play that either.

Not being the biggest zelda fan (and still think they are a tad overated) I traded it in for an expansion pak so I could play Donkey Kong........in hindsite I probably shouldnt have

He does speak some sense.
Id rather Microsoft buyout sectors of the industry than say Google,Amazon or Apple.

You know Microsoft are heavily invested in the gaming industry. So even if it means Ill have to invest in an Xbox......theres a better chance of those companies survival than if they went with say Google

Yes I know Microsoft doesnt have the best track record .....rare.....cough....cough.
But its probably still better than google track record for pulling out entire product. (you know they will pull the plug on Stadia sooner rather than later)

Microsoft buying out chunks of the sector is the lesser of the two evils in my eyes.
Sure it might not be the ideal solution for consumers.......but it will probably benefit the industry as a whole (unless Microsoft start controlling waht every studio makes......Im.sure they have learnt from Rare though)

I dabbled with something similar over 20 years ago.
You used to put your items up for bidding and gain points which are used to make bidding in the future.
It covered more than just video games.
I got so many N64/PS1 games and music albums back in the day.

All for the cost of a few singles (CD) that I didnt need as I picked up the album laters.
And some common bundles of pokemon cards.

The website obviously wasnt sustainable (there was no membership fees and there wasnt even paid advertising)

I probably dont need another copy of the game (have the original PS2.......still sealed)
And played through the VITA one.

But I know Ill have to pick it up again.....just because

Waste of time really. (I dont know what the solution is)
Soon as they shut new one will open to replace them.

Plus it just covers the UK

@NoxAeturnus
Nah its pretty easy if you keep up with your upgrades (which is easy to do at least for your main 3 team)

I dont think I lost a single battle till the final boss.........where I ended up using my stock pile of 10+ revive potions.
I dont know whether it was just my team set up but that was a reletively tough fight even after I had a go figuring out what to do first

To have
Battle Barkaid
Armed Police Batrider
Batsugun

On bundled together alone is insane......each one Id been happy to pick up a M2 remaster individually

I found the difficulty resonable for 90% of the game.
The only issue is if you choose to zig rather than zag, early on.

Theres one area thats fustrating enough as it is but is made 10x worse if you choose to tackle it first (mainly due to not having enough health upgrade meaning you have to know the area really well)

But honestly I dont have the time to replay for the new stuff (especially because it was a 7/10 game for me)

As a multiplatform gamer.....something thats ideal for portable but would be challenging tp port.

Even though I picked it up recently..... Noita, Id say is an ideal indie title.

At a glance its something you would think would be ported to the switch easily but I believe the physics simulation would be pretty taxing on the switch CPU. (It would turn to a slide show without optimisation)

I loved the game despite the problems it had.
(biggest of which I felt was underdeveloped characters/stories........which I later found out is filled in by a kickstart backer artbook or something)

But Im in two minds on these indie titles that keep updating.
I wished physical titles dont get released till its complely finished eg no more updates
It not even to do with game preservation as a collector but more, I dont have time to return to games I previously "finished"

@Moistnado
Lol nobody outside the studio really knows.
Some people think it will be similar to 'The Council"........but with vampires.

Understandable from his point of view
I fall into a same catagory needing new things to mentally challenge me in the work place to keep me interested.
I cant imagine having to be stuck to a routeen (which is what the wii might feel like comming off the GC)

@BlackenedHalo
Its no way thats bad for anyone that can time movement.
Id say there only one section where it combines the wind with platforming that may cause issue. It only took a couple attempts (mainly figuring what it wanted me to do)
But it might catch some out due to the strict time limit it gives you (when your probably not expecting it)

I enjoyed the game but not enough to return for the free DLC. It was about right in length (combined to the reletively limited combat options) I feel going through the DLC might stretch too close to the "outstaying its welcome"

Theres nothing really RPG like in the game (outside some repeatable kill/fetch quests).....just saying incase someone is expecting a full blown story and leveling up, style RPG.

@Rayquaza2510
I dont think its about being American but being of a certain age (Id guess 30+)
Advert is basically for people who recognise her and like her, has young family

Im interested but I kinda wishing for a mobile port.
Its the kinda title Id play in bite sized chunks through out the days little breaks. (when Im unlikely to have the switch on me)

As much as I tend to buy physical games the majority of the time.
I admit the future as a collector is becomming more and more uncertain.

When Nintendo are releasing sizable day one patches its not a great sign of a physical future.

Even though the reviews dont rate this game over Back 4 Blood......for some reason I enjoyed this title (before the DLC) more than Im enjoying Back 4 Blood.

I dont really know why when even I expected to like Back 4 Blood more than WWZ

@Fighter_Hayabusa
Thanks for letting us know. This fact alone changed the game for a no go to maybe for me (just find asking price just a tad high)

People act like Google and Amazon dont invade peoples privacy.....shrug

@Meteoroid
Lol
This is Atlus were talking about.
Just be thankful the retail version doesnt have "Atlus" Tax

@Xiovanni
Shadowverse got ported over mtx free, complete with a retail release too.
