@N00BiSH its so noobs, mums and grandmas don't buy switch 1 games by accident for their kids/grandkids. You can't miss the giant Switch 2 logo and red box can you
@IronMan30 well every year a 'toddler' becomes a 'kid' at which point they would like a console and the switch with mario kart is likely to be their first. Same with GTA 5, a 12 year old kid becomes a 13 year old teenager and mario goes out the window and they want GTA 5 instead.
Great game! Got this for £36 at Currys. Really enjoying playing it through. It's leagues above the Wii version. God that's looks awful these days, this HD version is soooo much cleaner. My advice would be ignore the reviews, and if you can find it discounted somewhere, buy it and enjoy it! Ps. I haven't noticed any performance issues so far
Just been playing this Megadrive version of ghouls n ghosts. Went into it knowing it was a difficult game and didn't know if I was up for it but dived in anyway. Yes, it's a frustrating game. It's best to go into each level and learn a section at a time. You'll die alot, but unlimited continues means you can carry on from checkpoints. The first level isn't that hard once you get to grips with Arthur's move set. The second level with the bouncy heads is incredibly annoying. But bit by bit you start to actually enjoy the challenge and begin to love the game. Recommended
I'm glad Nintendo is protecting the games that THEY made with THEIR time, funds, creativity, passion and talent. To think that anyone can just essentially give away what isn't rightfully theirs to is shocking. I'd you really want to play a old Nintendo game, go and buy the old game and the old console. It's not like buying a NES and a game is THAT expensive anyway. Besides literally nobody in the mainstream cares about emulation anyway. Most people would rather play the games on the console it was designed to be played on. Why the hell would anyone want to play mario odyssey on a PC. It's just dumb. Well played Nintendo!
@DiggleDog not really. It's a super niche title, one that only core gamers or mother fanboys would actually play. The mainstream don't care about this game. At all.
@SwitchForce well, switch 1 will still be a viable console as switch 2 won't have any backwards compatibility whatsoever. Switch 2 won't even sell old switch games and will be £699 and use Blu-ray discs only
These are the types of systems that people will be paying ridiculous amounts for in 20 years time. If you can afford one, get one and stick it in the closet
I predict mario wonder to sell over 10 million and Sonic about 5 million. Nintendo and Sega know full well alot of their audience is 40-50 year old who grew up with the franchise so that's an easy million or two who will buy them
Sonic 1 and 2 were the best games. The rest are ass. I have sonic mania plus and haven't even bothered to complete it. It's just the same old stuff. Roll on sonic superstars. Glad to see a new take on a 30 year old franchise
@Sisilly_G they still release physical games so kids will see them in the shops and whine incessantly to their parents to buy them. Kids don't care if the game is on the cartridge I'm afraid.
@Sisilly_G Im not sure anyone will be playing this game in 5 let alone 10 years time to worry about having it all on the cart. These EA sports games always end up in the bargain bins after a year or so. It's not like a mario game where you'll be playing it in a decade. EA sports title are throw away titles
@JakedaArbok I agree, the 30th anniversary edition is the way to go. However for beginners it must be noted that these ports are of the arcade and alot harder than any of the console versions, even on easy mode
I played these recently on my series S and they are still good fun. I think I picked them up for less than £10 for both on offer and they run really well. I'd much prefer a remaster of the original tomb raider on switch. I'd pay £30 for the pleasure aswell
