I never played it before, and I think it's very good, though you HAVE to rejig the controls or it's horrendous. The aiming is pretty finnicky and it can be frustrating but there's no doubt it's well worth playing. Mind you, graphics snobs will no doubt be put off but old school gamers will still love it
Loving this, even though I've played it on PS4. I have no problems with the handheld resolution, and the whole game is fantastic, my new favourite Switch racer.
Online works pretty well, and will involve a lot of swearing as a human opponent whacks you into a wall.
The only poor part is oval races, as they are mostly dull affairs.
Ignore that score. Initially I had trouble with controls but dial the sensetivity right down, add left contol stick for fine tuning (click right to re centre) and it's surprisingly easy. It looks great, a perfect update to the series and a must for fans. I'd give it an 8 all night long.
The fact that this is one of those games that offers a "full" version for thirty quid more at launch puts me right off. How about releasing a game, taking people's money then going off to make another game, without trying to fleece us constantly for more bucks.
Is there anywhere to find instructions for this game? DO you just have to go through it and hope you know what the keys are, how to unlock tracks etc? SHocking how modern games don't have any sort of guide
I bought Ninja Gaiden 3, it WILL download after several attempts, but ONLY number 3 for some reason. I also cannot updats any game (SNES ones for example) no matter how many times I try. Ridiculously pissed off.
I'm not the biggest fan of rouguelikes or even RPGs, but I like a bit of action in a fantasy setting. I love Redeemer, which is basically Gauntlet with ultra violence, and also Cat Quest, an action RPG that's not too confusing with good combat (and cats).
You can't compare the two eras price wise. Games like this are rarely over £7.99 these days and that's about the most I'dbe prepared to play, as there's plenty of run and guns that will do the job elsewhere for much less
Loved the original, love this as well, though it's a game that really benefits from being on a big TV. The music is epic, and as a non technical person I really like the graphics as well. 7.5 out of 10 from me, as it's a spot on new version of a Saturn classic.

Love Speed Rumbler, but man, is it hard. I liek that you can slow these down which makes them much easier

TOTALLY worth buying.
Re: Review: Formula Retro Racing - A Sega-Style Arcade Racer With Engine Troubles
I really enjoy this, and have no complaints as it only cost a tenner.
Smooth graphics, tough races in not on easy. There's been an update and I had zero issues with Monaco tonight.
As a fun, retro arcade racer it's absolutely fine for the price. Not as good as Hotshot Racing (9/10 from me) but a solid 7.5/10.
I am an arcade racer fan, and also old, so this appeals to my demographic.
Re: Review: The House Of The Dead: Remake - Control Issues Gnaw At Sega's Arcade Classic
@BulkSlash Yes, I use gyro and the left stick to centre or adjust

Re: Review: Crysis 2 Remastered - A Solid Port Of A Spectacular Shooter
Got it, and it is indeed gorgeous, runs super smooth. If you like FPS games this is a no brainer.
Re: Mini Review: A Juggler's Tale - Stylish But With Some Strings Attached
It's really good, the sound is excellent, with the Narrator especially contributing to the atmosphere. Yes, it's short, but a really good experience
Re: Review: Hot Wheels Unleashed - Probably The Best Hot Wheels Game Ever

Re: Rush Rally Origins Brings More Top Down Racing Action To Switch eShop This Year
The last one was brilliant, if tricky, so this is a no brainer especially at that price.
Re: Switch Error Code 2123-1502 - Users Still Waiting On Fix For Update 12.0.3 Issues
I bought Ninja Gaiden 3, it WILL download after several attempts, but ONLY number 3 for some reason. I also cannot updats any game (SNES ones for example) no matter how many times I try. Ridiculously pissed off.
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection - Ryu Hayabusa Deserves Better Than This
Bought this, but it only downloads number 3, probably because of that $%$ed up update. Seiously pissed off
Re: Cruis'n Blast Could Be Coming To Nintendo Switch
FIVE tracks! Spoiled we aren't. Ah well, if it's cheap enough I'll bite
Re: Talking Point: Surely It's Time For Game Boy On Nintendo Switch Online?
Got a hand held emulator with every game for both, and whilst Game Boy games are generally disposable these days the GBA had some excellent titles
Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising's 1.3.1 Update Has Landed - Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Got this when it was half price recently, along with annoying Platform game Doom Eternal. It's a great game, well worth it if you catch a sale.
Re: Video: Hot Wheels Unleashed Dev Releases First Official Gameplay Trailer
Might just be the Hot Wheels game we've always wanted - a decent racer on vomit inducing tracks. Hopefully it's a sensible price
Re: We Might See A Female Slayer In A Future DOOM Game
Who gives a toss? It's a demon killing grunt, the game won't change either way.
Re: Review: Taxi Chaos - A Crazy Taxi Spiritual Successor That Fails To Go The Extra Mile
@urrutiap looks way overpriced and released unfinished
good reason to rag on it
Re: Review: Taxi Chaos - A Crazy Taxi Spiritual Successor That Fails To Go The Extra Mile
wait for at least half price - won't be long
as usual a developer shoots themselves in the foot by releasing an unfinished product
Re: Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition - Still The Bob-omb 10 Years On
I've now given up buying new games as EVERYTHING comes down within 6 months. I'll get this in a sale though.
Re: Review: Hades - A Heavenly Trip Into Hell That's Utterly Essential For All Switch Owners
I'm not the biggest fan of rouguelikes or even RPGs, but I like a bit of action in a fantasy setting. I love Redeemer, which is basically Gauntlet with ultra violence, and also Cat Quest, an action RPG that's not too confusing with good combat (and cats).
You reckon I'll like this, amigos?

Re: DICE's Cancelled '90s Run-And-Gun Ultracore Gets New Lease Of Life On Switch
Looks way too pricey for an old Megadrive game, effectively.
Re: Hotshot Racing Gets Delayed Until Summer 2020
My most anticipated game
Re: Street Power Football Brings An "Over-The-Top" Arcade Video Game Experience To Switch This Summer

Re: Get Ready To Tee Off As Golf With Your Friends Lands On Switch Today
At least it has online play, looks like a mash up of Worms and Crazy Golf, which is attractive to me!
Re: 8-Bit Brawler Jay And Silent Bob: Mall Brawl Gets Its Own Switch eShop Release Next Week
As a big fan, I still wouldn't pay more than five bucks for this
Re: Super Pixel Racers Brings Nostalgic Top-Down Arcade Racing To Switch This Week
No online... Wait for the sale

Re: Panzer Dragoon: Remake Flies Onto Nintendo Switch Today, Physical Version Coming Soon
If you loved the original you'll love this (once you've slowed down the aiming reticule)
Re: Review: Panzer Dragoon: Remake - Doesn’t Quite Nail The Landing
Loved the original, love this as well, though it's a game that really benefits from being on a big TV. The music is epic, and as a non technical person I really like the graphics as well. 7.5 out of 10 from me, as it's a spot on new version of a Saturn classic.
Re: Here's How Racing Apex Became Hotshot Racing
Aha... online multiplayer! Sign me up
Re: Hotshot Racing Brings "Silky Smooth" 60fps Arcade Racing To Switch This Spring
Seriously excited by this. LOVE the look and AT LAST we will have an online multiplayer racer after waiting for EVER. Yes, I'm looking at YOU, Dirt!
Day one for me, all the way. SUmo Digital's name is the icing on the cake
Re: Dangerous Driving 2 Brings Split-Screen Open World Exploration To Switch This Year

Re: '80s-Inspired Endless Runner Top Run Speeds Onto Nintendo Switch Next Month
This looks nowhere near as good as the Videokid. Will wait for reviews and sale
Re: Review: AO Tennis 2 - A Decent Tennis Sim Ruined By Woeful Performance On Switch
How much? The price put me right off straight away. Just let SEGA give us a Virtua Tennis game and I'll be happy enough
Re: Three Classic Oddworld Titles Are Being Released On The Switch This Year

Re: Review: Rush Rally 3 - A Cheap And Cheerful Rally Racer

Re: Review: Rush Rally 3 - A Cheap And Cheerful Rally Racer
Sounds great, and it's wonderful to see the programmer so upfront about everything. Just downloading it now.
Re: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Coming To Switch Early Next Year With Gyro Controls
Brilliant game but not at that price seeing as I've already paid for it twice.
Half that maybe
