Re: Feature: Video Game Music That Didn't Need To Go That Hard

Ellie-Moo

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.

Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack

Ellie-Moo

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.

No thank you!

Re: Kirby's Dream Buffet Rolls Out Japanese Release Date

Ellie-Moo

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.

Re: Talking Point: Has Nintendo Done Enough To Justify Splatoon 3's Existence?

Ellie-Moo

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.

Re: RoboCop Gameplay Reveal Highlights Peter Weller's Return As Murphy

@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.

Re: Sega Shares An Extensive Overview Trailer For Sonic Origins

Ellie-Moo

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.

Re: SEGA Announces The Mega Drive Mini 2, Boasting 50 Games

@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.
