So I caved and bought it. While the graphics aren’t current game level they are still pretty decent for a game of its age. Gameplay is solid and story and action are beautifuly balanced.
I played it back then and love it, and replaying hasn’t disappointed!
Think I’m going to try and sit on my hands a while and wait for a potential patch. I LOVED this on Xbox back in the day. Don’t want to ruin the memory if it’s maybe not quite as shiny as it could be…
@OldGamer999 if we get a wee bit more juice under the hood, backwards compatibility so i can keep my favourite games, and a wee screen upgrade I’ll be a day one switch (pun intended)
I’m so excited to see Rainbow Islands available! This was one of my absolute favourites in the Amiga 500 back in the day. Even just hearing the music in that video has been such a nostalgia trip.
If this turns out to be a LOTR life sim I will lose my tiny mind!!! I won’t need anything else ever. Okay that’s maybe a fib, but pretty close to being true! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
With that wee jokey bit about me not understand the tech speak (I don’t) I would just be happy to see an upgraded version that looks better, runs smoother, and can handle the newer titles.
@RupeeClock sounds very like it doesn’t it. I would be happy with that. I’ve got quite a nice library of games now, but it would be lovely to keep them, and be able to add higher spec ones to the mix.
If they bring back rainbow islands I will lose my mind!!!! The sequel was mediocre in comparison, Rainbow Islands is was one of my favourite Amiga 500 games. 😍
The previous trailer had me a little worried about how ‘new’ this game was going to feel. This one has completely reassured me. This looks absolutely stunning. I’m beyond excited! Only a month left. EEK.
Devastated. Given his love of the games I’m kind of shocked he would walk away. I’m not a DC fab, most of the movies have been pretty awful, so to think he’s leaving for those… bums me out 🥲
From the little that was shown, this game looks like it should be beautiful! Pikmin is one of my top five feel good games. So pleased to get 4 at last!
I’ll be diving straight in with complete abandon! I think it’s great that they are kicking off right where 2 ended, that makes me even more excited to see what they have done.
Also, I will ABSOLUTELY slap the cash down again if they release a cart version. 🤪

@SillyG I struggle so much with this. I like to own a physical 🥴

Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Represents A Turning Point For Switch 2
@larryisaman this makes a lot of sense to me. Very interesting take on the current cost of creating this games right now.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Confirmed As The First Switch 2 Title To Use Nvidia's DLSS Upscaling
I’m very excited to see this. I’m not buying a Nintendo game at launch, but will be picking this up.
Really excited to see what third party games we get for S2!
Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)
@RupeeClock I was able to add my card to my account to use that rather than PayPal
Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)
I did indeed gain a trophy (invite) selling off some old games to aid the purse as we speak 😂
Re: Rumour: Supposed 'Switch 2' Design Photos And Specs Surface Online
@Kiivi I agree! Worked for the later ds models which saw improvements etc but little change in design.
If this is to be an upgraded Switch, it’s better to be thinking of it as such rather than a whole new era of console.
This isn’t a leap from n64 to GameCube, it is very much a major upgrade.

Until the game is ready, You shall not pass!
Re: My Nintendo Store Reveals Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Pre-Order Bonus & Bundle (UK)
I was really really hoping for a box set that matched links awakening
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Box Art Has Been Revealed
Hanging in there for a special edition that matches links awakening
Re: Animal Crossing Meets Lord Of The Rings In 'Tales Of The Shire'
This has to release on Bilbo’s birthday, I can’t see any other date being considered in terms of promotional gold.
I really hope there will be a physical edition with collectible bits 🤞🤞
Re: Sea Of Thieves Could Lead To More Xbox Exclusives On Other Platforms
@GrailUK apologies, I could have sworn I read it in an article here quite a while ago 🙈
Re: Sea Of Thieves Could Lead To More Xbox Exclusives On Other Platforms
@Scapetti it is coming to Nintendo. I can’t wait to play, hopefully it ports across well.
Re: Planet Of Lana Brings Off-Earth Odyssey To Switch Next Month
Ooh this looks like a nice wee puzzle platformer. Will be excited to try this one.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Tales of the Shire please and thank you.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase February 2024 - Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
Am I alone in hoping for a wee sneaky peaky at the Hobbit game?

Re: Hamster Corporation Celebrates 400 Arcade Archives Titles On Switch
I’m so excited to see Rainbow Islands available! This was one of my absolute favourites in the Amiga 500 back in the day. Even just hearing the music in that video has been such a nostalgia trip.
Re: Talking Point: What Game Do You Wish You Could Forget?
Hmmm who played Lure of the Temptress? Possibly my first RPG adventure, would love a fresh revisit.
Fable 2 and 3 also fit this same nostalgic thread…
Now as far as Nintendo games, it has to be Ocarina of Time
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Is Backwards Compatible, What Will You Do With Your Switch?
This is why I prefer physical copies of my games. When it comes time, I’ll sell the switch and some games so I have enough to upgrade.
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Will No Longer Be Free-To-Play When It Leaves Early Access In December
@Ryne-Gaia nope, it’s more along the lines of when my kids do something stupid… flat annoyance 🤣
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Will No Longer Be Free-To-Play When It Leaves Early Access In December
Well I guess I can stop waiting for that now then, and just keep an eye out for a decent sale price 🫠
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
I’m still pretty old school, most of my games are on cart, and I will wait for a cart if there is a digi initial release.
It’s a no brainer for me, I feel I properly own the games, and when it comes to upgrade I can sell on hardware and software.
It’s an investment to own them in cart, it’s a gamble to be digi online.
Re: Cosy Lord Of The Rings Game From Wētā Workshop Teased For Consoles Next Year
@Link-Hero if weta are involved, then I’m hopeful.

@Hwatt goes off to google what this means 👀
With that wee jokey bit about me not understand the tech speak (I don’t) I would just be happy to see an upgraded version that looks better, runs smoother, and can handle the newer titles.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Showed 'Switch 2' Demos To Developers At Gamescom
@RupeeClock sounds very like it doesn’t it. I would be happy with that. I’ve got quite a nice library of games now, but it would be lovely to keep them, and be able to add higher spec ones to the mix.
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley's "Cozy" Physical Edition Is Just A Download Code
I’ve been hanging on for the F2P… can’t stand the idea of paying for something that will be made free… 🤣 when is it due?
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Red Dead Redemption On Switch
Looking forward to the hard copy release. It’s another one of the games that I missed out on while I was busy having babies 🤣
Re: Cult Of The Lamb Teases Crossover With Don't Starve Series
Ooohh this does interest me!
It’s also very nice of them to release this as a birthday present to me 😜
Re: Taito Classic 'Parasol Stars' Is Getting A Revival On The Switch
If they bring back rainbow islands I will lose my mind!!!! The sequel was mediocre in comparison, Rainbow Islands is was one of my favourite Amiga 500 games. 😍

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Name Link When You're Playing A Zelda Game?
Owning my screaming narcissist ideals here. Always ALWAYS my name 👀😂
Who doesn’t want to be the hero of their own adventure?! 🤷♀️🤪
Re: Liam Hemsworth To Replace Henry Cavill In Witcher's Netflix Series
Devastated. Given his love of the games I’m kind of shocked he would walk away. I’m not a DC fab, most of the movies have been pretty awful, so to think he’s leaving for those… bums me out 🥲
Re: Review: Return To Monkey Island - An Impeccable Encore For An Adventure Gaming Icon
@gcunit me too, however I couldn’t wait, and I will buy twice if I need to.
I have to say it will be worth it, so far I’m having a blast plundering this world again with old friends! 🥳
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Return To Monkey Island
Dipped my toe in yesterday, and so far, so great! Hoping to sit and play a little more at lunch today. It’s like it was never away 🥳
Re: Yakuza Dev Still Doesn't Think Switch Is The Right Platform For The Series
When you try really hard to be edgy but just come off sounding full of yourself 👀
Would have been just as well saying ‘sorry, Nintendo and it’s fans just aren’t cool enough to play with us’ 😂
Re: Pikmin 4 Is Set For A 2023 Release, Following Years Of Speculation
From the little that was shown, this game looks like it should be beautiful! Pikmin is one of my top five feel good games. So pleased to get 4 at last!
Re: Feature: "Unfinished Business" - Why Gilbert & Grossman Returned To Monkey Island

Re: Return To Monkey Island Gets A Release Date And A Horse Armour Pre-Order Bonus
Normally I’m exclusively a cart girl…. But how can I resist. If they do not be up releasing a physical, then I might just have to buy it again 👀😂
Re: Video: Hogwarts Legacy Gets A New Trailer Introducing The Dark Arts
It looks amazing, very much looking forward to its release
Re: New 'Lord Of The Rings' Game Project In Development At Wētā Workshop
Weta’s involvement is very good news indeed. They were very dedicated to lore, detail and story for the films. I can’t wait to see where this leads.
I also don’t think that free reign means they will stray too far from the original content though. But I don’t see that as a bad thing.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3's World Is 'Five Times Larger' Than Predecessor's, Says Monolith Soft
I’ll be going in blind having never played any of the others. Wish me luck 😝
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Ok xenoblade fans… I haven’t played any games from the franchise. Do you think I can just dive in here at number 3?
I need a good RPG hit while we wait for Zelda….
Re: Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Has Been Delayed On All Platforms
Genuinely gutted!!! This is the one game, apart from the new Zelda, that’s I’m champing at the bit to get my hands on!
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June (Europe)
