I played the Virtual.Boy for 10 mins at the Nintendo Museum. It was a horrific experience that left me sick and with a headache. Unless they have fixed the side effects I will not be buying into this. These games would hace been a fir for the 3DS
I was let down by Donkey Kong Bananza. The DK games are known for their challenge and it was too easy. It was not as funny to explore as Mario Odyssey or anywhere near as varied. The ending was great and the postage better but more of that was needed in the main game. The best games on the system were the bid hitters on Switch and an indie game.
It does not feel like a next generation Switch yet. With it having a bot more power than PS4 Pro, I want to see games as graphically great as The Last of Us 2 looked on PS4 Pro.
I think i can see how both look the part. Those talking about hair colour.... hair can be dyed.
Link has historically been a child or a teenager. Some people were commenting about it being a British cast on other sites.... British accents are far better suited to fantasy movies than American. This has always been the case.
Do we think Nintendo will add upgrades to other OG Switch games?
Piking 3, Xenoblade ganes, Bayonetta 3, Astral Chain, Mario Kart 8, Pokemon Swird and Shiekld, Arceus Legends, Metroid Dread etc could all do with a nice free upgrade.
A real missed opportunity. It shoukd have had more unlockables tied to it and a map which details all that's been collected. Without that map it is a chore.
Playing BotW on my OLED TV on Switch.2 is striking. Playing it on handheld with the blurriness takes away some of the difference the 60fps provides and i am not notice much of a difference between with versions in hamdheld
Gen V is the only Pokemon game to have a very good story. If they mess it up by remaking it with the same hideously cheap graphics as the D&P remake, I personally will feel hugely disappointed. Those cheap chini graphics do not match the theme of the story.
The initial level made it feel like it was going to be Banjo Threeie in all but name, but then the later levels were not so great. It had the markings of a great game but the exucation was not great. I am looking forward to this!
I really wish they just done a full on remake of IV as it has some of the best puzzles in a video game, period. I hope the newest game in development goes down this route of game design.
Imagine how not great gaming would have been if any of those extreme Capitalist companies bought Nintendo? Nintendo working to deadlines? Microsoft killed Rare, and neither of these companies would know how to manage a company like Nintendo
Nintendo should drop the price and have a reduced cost game range to increase sales in last year of Switch life to become the top selling console of all time.
I am so glad the chose Cyan's nightmare. This was pioneering story telling in a game back then. And my god the theme track from Doma's castle and his side quest. How Squeenix got that music out of the SNES sound chip is nothing short of incredible.
@TeiGekiLord Someone can't do math actually. First movie was 4 years ago... you said a 4 year break between films, but we have had 3 movies (with the 4th in development) . If the first movie was 2020, the 3rd 2024, how can there have been a 4 year break between movies....
I personally think it is the best DKC by a huge margin. The levels may be smaller than TF's but they were more tightly designed and imaginative in my opinion. I personally think it is easily in the top 5 platformed of all time and I am not just talking 2D here.
It is an incredible achievement in open world video game design. Only Elden Ring came close to its sense of discovery. I would have still had Ocarina of Time on this list however as the impact it had on 3D gaming was like no other in history.
@LinktotheFuture They put it under T. That is why I couldn't find it. Is it an American thing to include the word 'The' when listing something alphabetically?

Re: Publisher Acclaim Is Hosting Its Own Showcase Today
Did Microsoft not own the rights to Burnout? They bought Criterion and then of course closed the studio?

Re: Sonic's Third Movie Outing Gets A Speedy Digital Release This Week
@TeiGekiLord Someone can't do math actually. First movie was 4 years ago... you said a 4 year break between films, but we have had 3 movies (with the 4th in development) . If the first movie was 2020, the 3rd 2024, how can there have been a 4 year break between movies....
Re: Sonic's Third Movie Outing Gets A Speedy Digital Release This Week
@TeiGekiLord How is that even possible when the first movie came out 4 years ago, and we are now into the 3rd..... with the 4th in development.
Re: Sonic's Third Movie Outing Gets A Speedy Digital Release This Week
The movies are being parted out at the sane rate as the relentless ***** Sonic games we have had to endure over the years.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Donkey Kong Country Returns HD

Re: Review: Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (Switch) - Raziel Returns With A Feature-Packed Pair
Pushing blocks and pressing switches is all we had in 1999? It is like Ocarina of Time and Banjo Kazooie didn't exist....
I personally loved the story of Soul Reaver but my god the puzzles and gameplay felt boring after playing OoT and even Tomb Raider 4.
