Knuckles Chaotic is a poor game. The tether mechanic just doesn't work. Sorry not sorry. I'd rather have a proper port of the master system mainline sonic games than that drivel
Don't expect a 'HUGE' leap forward in tech with this new system. Maybe PS4 level is achievable but battery life needs to be on par with the current switch. 1080p OLED portable screen with 500gb internal memory would be ideal
I grew up in the 80's and 90's. Everyone at school seemed to start their gaming careers with the Spectrum or Commodore 64 in the 8bit era as they had cheap budget titles and you could persuade your mum or dad to buy you a 'computer' for education purposes as they had no idea the amount of cheap games you could get. Then we progressed to the Atari ST or Amiga. Yeah some people had a nes or master system but it wasn't until the mega drive and SNES that EVERYONE I knew had one of the other. Since then all my friends had either a Nintendo, Sega, playstation or Xbox every generation since. Now, into our early 40's all my friends still have either a PS4/5, Xbox. They all have a switch too, either for them or their kids. Nintendo is HUGE in the UK and in general gaming is the biggest form of entertainment, unless you want to count Premier League Football
@dew12333 no worries. I, on my initial playthrough of shredders revenge, didn't actually like it. I couldn tout my finger on what it was, but I think I was, in my head, comparing it to streets of rage 4. But once I stuck with it, that comparison went away, and I started to enjoy it more and more and by the later stages I was really enjoying it. I also found it quite tough in places, and until I'd got the controls and moves down I wasn't doing very well. Overall, I prefer SOR4, but TMNT is a blast! I hope they can nail down some great new licenses of older IP. My choice would be Simpsons, Ewoks, Spiderman/Marvel, Masters of The Universe
Goldeneye is coming to Nintendo switch as a separate purchase and it will be the Xbox game pass version in 2023. The standard version will be on NSO. The multiplayer will be local lan play only. George lazenby will be playable aswell as grace jones
This is on sale in the eshop now for like £1.85. it's defi worth a try, it's defo not a bad game but yes, it's a budget title that will give you a few hours of fun! The graphics are awesome and remind me of the Amiga games of the early 90s. Defo recommend to anyone interested in those type of platformer
@samuelvictor I had street fighter alpha 2 on Dreamcast when it first released and I loved it. I hadn't played it in 20 years until I got the SF collection on Switch and out of all the games on that collection it's the one I play the most. I have the CPS versions on my raspberry pi and they all seem just as hard to me
@samuelvictor I've found the alpha games on the sfcollection to have a much more reasonable difficultly and therefore enjoy playing them a bit more. I think the SNES versions are definitely easier as they aren't trying to take your money like the arcade ones were designed to do. They literally made it hard on purpose so you'd pump more money into the machines. The console versions didn't need to do that, they just needed to be balanced
I think Michael Jackson's involvement has always been debatable. Michael was a singer/songwriter so unless his vocals were going to be used his involvement was always going to be minimal. I suppose he could get a co-producer credit after working with Brad, or coming up with the melodies which were then built upon by Brad and enhanced. Or he could have just been a consultant. Either way, it now just an urban legend as it were, as he can't give his side of the story.
@AstralSoul Knuckles Chaotix is terrible. Such a stupid and slow buddy mechanic which ruins the whole game. I replayed it the other day and I hate it. Looking forward to this collection though
@Knuckles yes I got sonic mania on digital on PS4 and have only just bought sonic mania plus on switch as a physical cart. I'm sure origins will sell a million copies fairly easily and a deluxe version with all the content on a physical cart will be released later on
@retroman64 you have the option to play them all on your Wii so go ahead and do such a thing. Not sure what your point is? Virtual console was overpriced. I'd rather have a smaller collection of the best Nintendo licensed games in 'HD' than those old VC games. Enjoy your Wii. I'm playing switch
Let's be real. The virtual console wasn't all that everybody would like to remember it to be. The quality of the resolution was awful and the games overpriced. The switch online service games are superior quality in every single way. It's a much better deal overall, and more and more systems will be added overtime and I think it will be the model going forward for all future Nintendo systems. I'd like to actually know when many of the complainers of the virtual console ending actually last bought a game on there? I imagine it was years and years ago. You don't support, it goes away. Simple. Just like with the Wii U.
30th anniversary collection was just too hard even on easy, for the casual player, the enemy is intentionally cheap, they should have changed the arcade difficulty as it's a steep learning curve for an casual SF fan like myself
@Dezzy70 correct. Don't need a pro model at the moment, just wait until next gen, with the new console able to play switch games in backward compatibilty.

@Franklin you already said you own them all? Why do you want to pay for them again? That makes no sense
Re: Soapbox: Why Can't Nintendo Offer Both Virtual Console And Switch Online?
@Franklin because Nintendo makes more money from selling new games on the switch than selling retro games. Simple
