Downloaded this day one and a absolutely loving it, I’ve forgotten just how great these games are, even the Gameboy game is great fun full marks again to M2. For me the ability to save state is perfect for the Contra games as they are brutally difficult, but now at least you have a chance to finish them!
Looks awesome but I think I’ll summon all my willpower and wait for the Trials of Mana remake. I had a french copy of Mystic Quest when I was a kid and (somehow) finished it and I’ve also finished Secret of Mana (what a game) so really it’s all about Trials for me
@Franklin ha! I was referring to the banjo character announcement for Smash Bros, everything else was great but the way everyone was acting it was if a banjo kazooie sequel had just been announced.
Errrr so rubbish analogue stick (which 99% of n64 games primarily use) but great d-pad (which 1% of n64 games primarily use). Doesn’t sound like a good option to me....
Absolute no brainer from Nintendo, they need to protect their ip and distance themselves legally from what is quite a risky activity from a health and safety standpoint. I mean, driving a kart on the roads with other vehicles, no roll cage protection and no helmets? I love it but it’s madness and someone will get hurt.
I just can’t bear to buy large first party titles as digital though, sure the indie titles but the value of the vouchers are geared towards favouring the most expensive titles so it doesn’t quite fit the bill for me.
@ItsOKToBeOK I don’t quite agree with that, I had Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast and it’s excellent. Basically a 3D sonic platformer with RPG elements. It’s a shame the other 3D games haven’t been to the same standard.

Re: Takashi Iizuka Believes The Blue Blur Has "Turned A Corner" Following The Release Of Sonic Mania
