I'm really glad I managed to get the NES, SNES, N64 and Mega Drive controllers right from the start to avoid all of this stress. I don't envy people trying to get them now with the scalpers at play.
One day I hope they stop with the extra content and release a physical copy with everything on the cart and discs (for Xbox and PS). What they have done since the retail copy came out makes a mockery of the content on there lol.
I'm really not sure what the big rush is on the Zelda CE to make it sell out everywhere.
It's really poor value and even as a big Zelda fan, I just can't see the appeal. I can only assume it's scalpers doing the majority of the pre-ordering.
Aquatic Ambience from DKC is fantastic (as is the Goldeneye 007 pause music), so I picked that one from the limited choices but Stickerbrush Symphony from DKC2 is just incredible and one of my favourites of all time.
David Wise is a genius and I was surprised that a game from the 16-bit era could aurally make me feel emotional but it really did.
I got the cute Mega Drive and N64 controllers but I refuse to pay the uplift for the retro games which Nintendo feel like gatekeeping.
I just have so much fatigue from the way they reset with each new console and then drip feed the games super slowly and make you pay for them all over again, with the exception of Wii to Wii U, though only by doing a one time transfer which I didn't like.
@Gofixmeaplate According to a response on that Twitter post, it is Micro Mages by Morphcat Games. Not one that came out during the NES era by the look of it, so your good knowledge is still intact
I was all for ordering a physical LRG copy but with the state of the game on release I figured it was a waste of time having one when it's likely I will have a very poor version on the cart preserved.
If LRG delayed the physical production until it's had some solid patches I would be all for it.
This looks adorable. I hope we get to play this and I would think so.
Do Japanese trailers have all English text? If I wasn't told this was only confirmed for release in Japan and I saw that trailer I probably would have assumed it was announcing it for NA, EU or both.
I'm going to get it and that's because I haven't played Splatoon 2 for years now. I got what I wanted out of that game and moved on, so this will feel fresh again, whereas someone who played the second game through up until very recently might feel differently.
I'm sure it could have all been added to the sequel but for the number of hours I dare say a large number of the players get out of it, around £40 is not a bad trade at all.
Looking forward to this game as I really enjoyed Splatoon 2 for a time and I don't know why but I completely stopped playing it, somewhere around when the last main Splatfest was.
It's been long enough since S2 that I'm ready for some more painting!
There isn't a way for the grid to come up by default is there, rather than scrolling to the right of the line of the most recently played and pressing the button?
I had no idea about this but I think I will enjoy it, so I have ordered the UK/EU physical edition. On the pricey side but I think I will get my money's worth.
@Slowdive My first thought was, this looks a bit 2000's PC gaming era graphics, animation and so on, a bit like Terminator Resistance and then I read your comment.
I enjoyed Terminator despite the rough edges and clear lower budget than most games, I think a lot of it due to loving the Terminator universe in general and as I have similar feelings for Robocop, I expect I will be satisfied with this too.
An opinion probably nobody will agree with but for me the first game on the NES (TMHT for me 😛) is my favourite by some distance.
Nostalgia plays a part for sure but even when I play it now I still think the same. A lot of people probably jumped on the AVGN bandwagon and started disliking it.
Aside from being Ninja Turtles and not Hero Turtles (as I grew up with here in the UK) I love everything about this, despite side scroller beat em ups not being my favourite type of game generally.
The nods to the original 80's cartoon which I still love to this day has made it unmissable for me.
I do wish they would let you choose whether to play Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles or S3&K but that's a minor gripe.
I will be waiting for the physical release if it ever comes and that one I hope (but doubt) will come with the Master System and Game Gear games too, even if they have to be unlockables.
Does using these break the balance of the game in any way at all? I haven't started playing it, so I'm not sure of the significance of the free things you get 😀
@YoshiAngemon If they had gone a further step by creating a mini Mega/Sega CD and 32X to add on to the original MD/Genesis Mini, that for me would be amazing but I can of course understand it's not really practical for Sega.
A second Mini like this isn't quite as good for me but it's a bonus all the same as I never expected another. Yes I could just mod my original but I tend not to mess with anything like that, no matter how simple it may be.
I was going to buy the original Popful Mail complete but this is making me reconsider if it gets a UK/European release, as much as I love owning the originals and playing them on the real hardware.
I know that it's called Sonic 'Origins' which makes you think about these original main series games but I really wish they would have included Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3D Flickies Island at least and the Master System/Game Gear versions.
Hopefully the latter will be unlockables or something.

Re: Review: Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse - A Long-Awaited Western Debut For Series Fans
@Sisilly_G I want this and hope that the back of the game box is fully in English too. I'm sure it is but haven't managed to see a picture yet.
I'm also wondering if it has English on the cart this time, unlike the prior game which I believe needed a patch.

That said, clearly they understood their market correctly as the game has been snapped up at the inflated prices, so what do I know.
