That title was pretty clever. Well, presuming it was meant the way I thought it was.

You had five takeaways whilst playing the Virtual Boy. Given how you use a Virtual Boy, I bet that was a messy experience!

What is amazing is just how many first-part games there are in the Switch family. Compared to previous consoles it is a staggering amount.

This article is a lie, I know, I have seen those titles of YouTube videos.........
Given circumstances arising in the world upon and since it's release Nintendo has done really well here, Over time this will be a very successful console for them, maybe not to the levels of it's predecessor, but very successful non the less. Will be interesting to see what happens when they release the real big hitters.

You know, despite criticisms I have heard, I do think this is a nice idea and Nintendo should really continue it and push to be as creative as possible. If I was a child and got to put this together, having some fun doing so with family, I would certainly be a very happy boy.

At this point in time nothing is grabbing. I'll probably play Resident Evil at some point, but really don't fancy it right now. Been just enjoying what I have and delving back into the past. I have yet to buy a Switch2 due to this, I think a mainline Mario or Zelda or something of such nature will change that, but right now I am content with what I have, which is a very good place to be.

@Joe11 I do wish I enjoyed turn based, just not for me. Sadly, some of the best stories are in those games and this is one of the ones I have really wanted to experience fully and after all these years after first getting it shortly after its release I finally can. I wish I had known about the 'god' mode prior, but I missed it when I read the review here upon release on Switch and it was only when watching the video last week that I heard buff to max stats and looked it up online.
FFVI is another I always wanted to see through, I played a little on my SNES after borrowing the game from a friend and was blown away by it's beauty and really wanted to see where it went.

@datamonkey Sorry, my tired eyes didn't read your reply properly. I really want to see the original through. I love the prerendered with polygons on top, very nostalgic and I have always been very fond of how it looks, so I am actually more excited by the original than the remake, which as I said, I will certainly do one day

@datamonkey I was on about the PSX one, but yes, the remake I intend to one day for sure, likely when all 3 are available

No idea. However, I will be purchasing the original FFVII very soon. I don't really like and I am even more terrible at turn based games. I have tried over the years, Chrono Trigger and FFVII on release to name a couple, but just never clicked with me. Which has been a real bummer as there are so many games that I want to enjoy the story, the world and characters, but the mechanic prevents me from doing so. With FFVII having the cheats to skip random battles and 'God' mode, it means I can finally play through the game knowing I will get to the end. I know some will see it as sacrilege, but for people like me whom are just plain bad at turn based games, it is a god send (no pun intended) and I am extremely excited to run through the game and see all it has to offer in it's world, never even managed to finish Midgar prior.

@Member_the_game I went in there a couple of years ago as was passing on route to get an SD card from Currys, I thought I'd just grab it from them to save the walk. When I asked how much, he told me the price, which was about 3 or 4 times the amount from Currys (exactly the same brand and size and not on sale) and so I told them what the price was elsewhere (about £25) and he said "Guess you better trot on along to Currys then and leave me be". I bit my lip, I decided it was being trapped in a cupboard under the stairs in a Sports Direct that did that to him, but still, customer service, dude!

No surprise really, they are a fraction of what they once were and even then they were never the best but served a purpose and did so good enough.
Really miss some of the older gaming stores, especially the awesome independent ones. One by me when I was a teenager in the 90's was a great place to be, they were very customer oriented and would bend over backwards to help you out or find something you were after. They used to deal in secondhand stuff too, which was great for swapping over games and bits etc. We used to go there just to hangout with the staff and natter about gaming or girls, whatever. They did really well and opened a few stores locally, as such, but were killed off by larger companies eventually, supermarket style. Shame.

The characters look good, but it all feels a bit messy when set up

@MasterGraveheart now I will have the Gummi Bears theme in my head bouncing here, there and everywhere for who knows how long

Gosh, that's good news

@Pillowpants Great thing about those two is you can still use gyro etc as they plug in like a pro controller so use the internal Switch gyro and rumble. The NexiGo is much closer to a split-pad in terms of feel and design, but, if your a Switch 2 guy now I don't suppose it matters, with the magnets instead of the old rail they are much sturdier and so Hori's or whomever's you go for upon release is bound to be better. Nintendo did say there was supposed to be a little wobble, but man, the wobble I got was just scary and that's why I went for a solid thing.

@foursider Sounds like the SNES one, that was all about speed. The NES games were basically Super Mario Bros. 3 in how they played and felt, in fact so ridiculously close you have to wonder whether there was some naughty business there. I did play the Game Boy one, but haven't touched since it's release, so I don't remember too much about it other than how the game pak looked and enjoying it.

@Pillowpants @CJD87 I have a compact for 2D games as I like the softer, yet very responsive D-Pad. The right analogue stick is a little close to the buttons but its okay.
I had the Pro,twice in fact, but the wobble on the rails really concerned me so I gave up on them. Shame as they were really nice. I know there is a tape fix, but that would be a pain for me.
I use NexiG0 GripCon Gen2 and a CRKD Nitro Deck for most gaming, sturdy and no worries. CRKD is super comfy to hold, but D-Pad is in awkward position, so is right stick but only an issue with something like an FPS, which I never play excluding Prime. The NexiGo is fantastic, but the D-Pad can feel a little rough after a while, hence the Compacts.
What I wouldn't give for one controller designed like the WiiU pad with all the Switch bells and whistles

@Don the Tiny Toons games are fantastic. I played Buster Busts Loose for SNES first then went to the NES two and to my surprise I found the NES ones better games (no slight on BBL, it's still great). I still play them to this day

Hi 15th Anniversary gang

The big question is, will Yoshi get dropped into a pit to his doom?
Remember this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9x4o1gAzTc

I really miss these sort of cartoons, the likes of Doug etc too. Cartoons seemed to respect the intelligence of children more back then and in doing so appeal to teenagers and older folks as well.
Does anyone remember when Cartoon Network used to air a bunch of pilots and you could vote which was the best and then it would be turned into a series? I'll never forget that Cow and Chicken pilot, which won obviously, it was insane. The series never quite got to that peak again though.
"Mama had a cow,
Mama had a chicken,
Papa was so proud,
He didn't care how.
Cow and Chicken!"

Been doing another run of BOTW (Switch1) and to my surprise it appears the framerate has has a big fix, including Korok Forest!!

Nope. I mean I don't even know anyone who games anymore, so for me gaming is a single player experience and this would be a pointless purchase. But, I think it's good they released it and pushing local multiplayer play is always a good thing, online simply does not compare to sitting in a room with friends or family and all joining in, whether competitively or cooperation

Given the size of the picture here, I can only see half the cover at a time anyway as I scroll down (laptop), but yes, not the prettiest of covers, very busy.

I always knew the day would come that we would see a Wariowarevania arrive for the DS......

Its surprisingly small. Fair play to her, she put a lot of work into that. I love the eject for the Switch2

Halo. I just want to play Halo in handheld. I really don't want to have to purchase a 360 and the 4 games

Good game that doesn't get enough love, which hopefully this will rectify.
Capcom, please, please, pleeeeeeeease release a collection of RE1 (both cuts),2 (PS1/N64),3 and CV, maybe throw in Gameboy games too. I would love the originals all bundled together. Remaking them is all well and good (and they have been done very good), but sometimes playing the originals is all somebody wants to do.

She isn't the best actress (being polite) and it immediately puts me off the series

I nearly got mad until I saw the 'after' part

Surprised she let him leave given his 'blue eyes'.
Lovely video

@GamingGod I see your point, but not quite acuate. You would have a more diverse group of smaller companies (international and national), more locally owned companies and far healthier competition between those companies, resulting in higher quality goods and produce, services, a need for innovation and most importantly, happier well cared for staff.

I have all these games, including GameBoy DuckTales 1/2, but I will be very happy to have them playable on the Switch. The DuckTales games and Darkwing Dark especially so.
I always thought it a shame Capcoms The Little Mermaid (NES) couldn't join them in the collection, it's not a Saturday Morning game, but it always felt apart of these blue box games

@dskatter she became a Sith Lord or even Doctor Doom from the 2015 Fantastic Four film. Wasn't a fan of her character and that scream of hers is diabolical https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmHIDdq5ZNI

@canaryfarmer I truly hope not, he kinda freaks me out

Welcome Mai. Looking forward to your content, I wish you the best of luck and remember, have fun!!

I have never used these as only buy physical, which still works out cheaper, but it's a shame for those who do use them regularly

Well, I can't now as I am just about to start Mr & Mrs Smith (1941), but I will absolutely play it tomorrow. For now, Happy Anniversary Operation C, you are a fine game

That is all well and good, but the only shooter I really want them to bring over is Halo. The Trilogy and Reach and I will be a very, very happy Denny Crane

The first one. Nice bright colour, lots of fun and covers a lot of games.

@Twilite9 Zelda looks very different as well, the writing on it. Growing up with these and having the image ingrained on the mind it's easy to spot an abnormally.

@WiltonRoots well, wouldn't you know, the very next comment

@MontyCircus you tell 'em, Spock!!

I think much of the dialogue (all NPCs) in the game feels kind of cheap, but it is what it is and it hasn't soured the experience. However, calling on the radio was annoying and made worse knowing when you next need to look at your map you have to sit through a time waster. A simple option to toggle on/off would have been welcome

@Pillowpants Awesome. So glad you enjoyed it and congratulations.

@Pillowpants is this your first time with Dread?? If so you are in for a treat with the boss

@JohnnyMind oh well, never mind.
SNESDrunks videos are great, short, to the point and informative.

@JohnnyMind How you liking Zelda II?? It's a great game, with some quirks no doubt, but a great game none the less. If you are enjoying it you should try Battle of Olympus, it's like it and a lot of fun.

Was going to continue with a Prime 4 run, doing a speedy run through casual after discovering that the end boss in hard mode sucks. It just boring and tiresome, first phase is awful for reasons those of whom have played are likely well aware of and the final one just goes on and on and on, bullet sponge to the extreme, so I stopped as I simply wasn't having fun. Running through on casual, no scans and limited upgrades is super fun though and fast.
That said, I fancy another type of old school (or should I say skool) game and may stick on Croc for the Switch instead.
