Gunman Clive Collection

51 world wide games is now one of my go to online multiplayer games along with rocket league and MK8 deluxe.

Apart from DKC 1 & 2 I’ve got no interest in SNES or NES games.
Too many amazing current games...

@ChainChompBraden
Whilst I see the point of view of your critics I also applaud your determination. Good luck to you buddy.

@Silly_G
As a lover of English literature I have to hand it to you mate you’ve got a way with words!! Bravo

Yes. Love drifting.
Especially love it when it’s a simple hold down a button to initiate the drift type game e.g MK8D, CTR, Ashphalt 9.
Not really a fan/good at drifting in racing sims where it’s all to fiddly...

For me the Wii U was perfect. When the TV was busy I used the gamepad on the couch. Gamepad was so comfy for my bigger hands.
Now I have the Switch I use it the same way as the Wii U and have installed Hori Split Pad Pro controllers as the Switch is way too small.

P.S The Wii U pro controller and gamepad are perfect for games that use the right analog stick a lot such as Splatoon; Zelda BoTW; FPS etc as the right analog stick is above the buttons in a much more natural position for your thumb.

Donkey Kong Country
Love the natural settings in the first one especially.

Despite being less powerful hardware wise Nintendo has much funner games...so no need for next gen Sony/Xbox.... but if Rocket League ever becomes unplayable on available Nintendo hardware then I would be forced to purchase an Xbox series x.

@SoapMonkey
It must be your region?
I’m in Oceana region and match making for casual and comp for me is excellent for all match types.

Gunman Clive collection is brilliant.

My most played:
1.Golden eye
2. Mario kart 64
3. Banjo Kazooie
4. Mario 64

@dings
Fair enough personally I loved the over world it was a lovely break from the hectic platforming

@nkarafo the game is perfect difficulty but the last level is way harder than the rest of the game... even so highly recommend this as collecting all the bees feels like a nice accomplishment even if I couldn’t beat the last level

@AG_Awesome
Absolutely agree
Last level is horrid. If I was stuck in prison with nothing to do I might have put the time in to beat it but as a free man I got way better things to do than grind away at that!!
Apart from last level the game is absolutely fantastic

The intended title is Diddy’s Kong Quest however in common parlance it is mostly known as Diddy Kong’s Quest. Both are correct.

One of the only games I ever got brand new... cost about $100 AU which I scrapped and saved for but could never get close. One afternoon my Mum took pity on me and slipped me the extra cash I needed my excitement levels when I held the box in my hands were off the scale.

Never experienced it on switch or switch lite. But I often use pro controller or Hori split pads so I’m not really a good sample.

@ShaiHulud
You can rebind buttons and invert analog sticks via the Switch settings. A feature that has only been available for a year or so I think.

I wish that everyone who paid for it before it became free was given a unique goal explosion to show off their legacy status.

I can’t understand the saltiness here... I play to win not to unlock cosmetic items so all these changes are fine by me. Hopefully play lists will get even fuller now it’s free. The more people playing online the better.

Will still be an amazing game.

One of the big reasons many have for buying this game is for nolstagia/aesthetics/collectibility
/“nice to have” type reasons.
This would leave a bad taste for them I could imagine.

@Pod
That is the film version with real actors of Initial D is amazing never saw the anime series it is based on

Would love to have this on switch but lacklustre performance means ill get the Xbox one version if I get it

@Pod
Yes that’s the movie:

Initial D

Brilliant film!!
It was on Netflix Australia at one point and maybe still is.

Always wanted a racing game with the same drift mechanics as a Kat racer but it never came my way.... I’m not a fan of racing sims at all.

And now this? Am a little sceptical about the twin stick but I love drifting so might give this a shot at some point.

Looks great but will it be as amazing as rocket league? I doubt it... but can’t wait to check it out.

If it’s one of those games that are easy to pick up but hard to master (E.g ARMS, Rocket League) I’ll love it but... if the controls and moves are a little too complex it won’t be for me.

Also looking forward to Alpaca All Stars

Doesn’t help me as I need switch online to play MK8 deluxe anyway... But would love if i could play rocket league on Xbox one without subscription....not gonna happen methinks.

Perhaps they’ll release these games individually after March if only digitally? Or perhaps they’ll feature on Nintendo online service? If they don’t the price of this collection may well get very expensive to buy / lucrative to sell down the track.

CTR nitro amazing single player and terrible online multiplayer. MK8 is superb online and just a bit more polished than CTR in my opinion although both are very different games.

Loved the take your time and get to the bottom to unlock the next track challenges. Doing this I unlocked all the mountains and pretty much all the tracks except two of them.

The complete under a certain time challenges are too hard for me but this is just one aspect of the game and you don’t have to go in for these challenges unless you want to unlock 100 % all tracks and bikes.

80 classics which is great but TBH I only play one of them DKC (4ever).

@PJOReilly
Thanks for the explanation sounds like something I might like to try if I didn’t already have a backlog of great games...

Is this a metroidvania? Or A to B platformer?

One indie that I believe is underrated and doesn’t get enough love from Nintendo Life

Mechstermination Force!

Brilliant game

I hope tournaments don’t steal too many players from the regular ranked lists. The way I play is to jump on to ranked for 2 or 3 matches then jump off again I’d never have time for a tournament...
On the other hand free to play might bring more people so lists might be fully than ever.
My region is Oceana (Australia) and I can always get a competitive match easily except at 1am or 2am it’s a bit of a wait.
P.S This game and MK8 deluxe make up 95% of my gaming life. I love then both soooo much!!

Does purchasing the DLC help you win games in online multiplayer?

But many “physical” copies require a significant download the first time you play the game. If the game’s severs have ceased to exist then that physical game is useless! Am I wrong?

@Jokerwolf yes they are good but for me not as amazing... I enjoyed yooka laylee impossible lair more than Tropical Freeze as it has that fluid role jump mechanic of the original DCKs that I loved so much.

Tropical Freeze is a totally different game to the original SNES DKC trilogy. The gameplay feels totally different - Tropical Freeze feels heavy and clunky in comparison. The originals were poetry in motion.

Tekken, Crash Bandicoot, Wipeout all looked amazing to me... but then I saw Mario 64 and my choice was made... then came Mario kart 64, 007 and Banjo Kazooie. No regrets.

Brilliant game!!! Best 2D platformer since SNES DKC trilogy
But the impossible lair is tediously difficult....😫😫😫

I own this on Xbox. Last time I checked online multiplayer racing was pitiful with terrible match making, glitchy poorly populated lobbies, woeful loading times and no ranking system!!!

Why are they introducing new gimmicky content when the main game IMO is broken????

Crash team racing nitro fueled online multiplayer and load times are still a joke. Maybe fix these issues before moving to next project. Activision is in my black books.

I have bought a number of great games like this for my wii u and never played them.... so much stuff just sits on back log while I play....Rocket League.

So I don't buy games anymore.

Wish they would use some of the money from the micro transactions to pay someone to fix the crappy online multiplayer:

No ranking system
No decent match making system / empty lobbies
Slow loading times
Tedious podium ceremony after each race.

Gunman Clive Collection (1&2). Awesome games. Must play.

My fav game. And yes like others here I’m not great. I have a solid ground game but my aerial game is ...well... hit and miss. The great thing is there are thousands of others online at the same level as me so I can always enjoy winning about half the time. I can’t say that for other online multiplayer games.

@AlternateButtons Very amusing!!!... stiring everyone up with little more than "dust your hardware folks". You're the Mahatma Ghandi of trolling lol

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it.... I want to use the trigger buttons for drifting/boosting not the shoulder buttons!! I have big hands - they feel cramped up playing. Other than that I really love this game. I love Mario Kart 8 to bits and I don't want to compare it with CTR-NF because the mechanics are so different. They're both awesome for different reasons.
