Film director compliments a member of his cast is basically all this is. This is nearly always the way before a film comes out.
I wish Kuckles had an Australian accent though.

@Zeeeus The initial dump of Megadrive games did seem to be lacklustre compared to the Classics collection. You would have thought they would have added more titles to the Megadrive list by now to get it up to speed. One day the service may be worth the bump in price.

Any other subscription service with no new additions after a month would lead to mass cancellations. That's why they tied people in to 12 months. Bare minimum it needs 1 new game on each of the N64 and Megadrive per month.

I still have these for the Original Xbox somewhere so no point in upgrading. Also pun of the year for me in the subheading.

@TheBigK Considering they barely acknowledge their own history most of the time they certainly don't have time to acknowledge any others.

Looks like I will have to fish out my PS2 and see if it still works and play them on that.

They're running out of rumours they now have to rely on reruns. I want new rumours so I can actually get slightly giddy again for a few months before I move on. I remember this rumour the first 8 times around. Getting bored of this one. Maybe it's time to wheel the Switch Pro rumour out again.

It's a shame that the people who have fun with these games and pay money to use on them are getting them taken away so soon. Doesn't bode well for Pikmin Bloom if games with the Mario and Harry Potter licence only last 2 years.

Do people not know about stuff from before they were born anymore or are people happy showing their ignorance online?

I'll bite when they release triangle.

So basically they want games that everyone wants to play to earn something that no one else has got or probably wants?

All kind of pointless when the kids are playing Call of Duty followed by browsing porn on the Internet. At least they can't see badly drawn naked cartoon characters on PlayStation though.

Maybe I will upgrade when my Switch Online membership expires in early 2023. Unless something comes sooner that makes me want to pay up pay bit sooner. I reckon there will be discounted codes to make a saving by then.

I'd rather watch the movies. They were so good they should have won awards. Uwe Boll is the best director of all time and that is a fact that you can take to the bank. It will leave you overdrawn though.

I was going to go see the film but I think I will spend my money on this so we never see part 2 of the movie but instead get more outfits.

If the price hike is due to Sega licensing issues because they didn't sell well on the Wii then I think that tells you what you need to know about the value of this package? No one is signing up for the Sega games as they can get them for a reasonable one off price. Not everyone wants the AC DLC and once again they can get that for a one off price so basically you are currently paying extra for 9 N64 games which you could buy most of on the Wii U for a little more than the price increase. Once more games are added to the service colour me interested but as it stands I will wait and see.

I got Metroid Dread yesterday but recently cracked open my PS5 so been enjoying Death Stranding Directors Cut on there and may dabble in Ratchet and Clank so no time for Metroid. Recently started Scarlet Nexus on Game Pass as well. So many good games and so little time.

Still going strong with my launch day Switch. Hopefully it will last until the Switch U, New Switch, Super Switch, Switch 2 or Switch Pro or whatever they do comes next.

I know which I would rather play games on.
I'd like to know what percentage of the profit is from microtransactions.

Why do rebrands mean make less colourful?

@Merry_Blind I think it depends on if you play in the dark. Even mild white light is harsh when you play in the dark. During the day it makes little difference.

Always dark mode. I even have black background and white font on my kindle. It's a lot easier on the eyes. I don't like to have burn in on my retina.

If we are comparing batteries, my car has a better battery than the Switch and it was "released" 4 years before the Switch and it can slowly "teleport" me to different locations! It's probably worth about the same as the phone too. Which is the better deal?

I wasn't aware it had its own Game Boy Player. Had to do some internet research as I thought it would look amazing but it appears it didn't match the system itself being just dull plastic. Excitement to disappointment in 15 seconds.

Read headline as person publishes something off their wishlist as a rumour on the internet.

Sam Kieth. Autocorrect does not like his surname.

It was clearly caused by a time travelling COVID vaccine. If it can change your DNA they can do anything.

If they released a double pack of the NES Remix games on the Switch they'd make enough money off mugs buying it again plus the rest of the large user base so we can get a SNES Remix. I can but dream.

The price cut will disappoint people wanting to get rid of their original to upgrade to OLED. They'll get even less on a part exchange or selling it.

@CharlieGirl Shady person works at shady company. It's a tale as old as capitalism.

In Scott Pilgrim she doesn't upgrade his bomb bag but does she upgrade his Bob-omb bag?
I'll get my coat.

I collect to add to my backlog! I intend to play every game I purchase. The large number of sealed games I have tells me that I haven't played the majority of them though. Maybe one day I will come to my senses and sell them so someone can do what I couldn't with them.

Maybe the PC version came on 1000 floppy discs so each disc in the box is classed as a copy so only actually sold 24500 on PC and 500,000 elsewhere?

I still haven't finished my run of the first game I started in 2014. Got Bravely Second and this one so hopefully finish before I am on my deathbed.

@RupeeClock That makes sense then. You'll probably start your run through of the games before me anyway. Going through some of my older backlog at the minute.

@RupeeClock I have the LRG games. Had them for about a month. Assume you are waiting on the Collector's Edition ones? I need to play through them first before getting the new one.

@ManInTheChair Maybe they chose a popular work that they knew was going to be shut down in an attempt to get noticed to help get a job in the games industry.

Lucky that the Wii Nunchuck didn't follow his NES/SNES design aesthetic. I don't think a cube with a control stick on it would have worked.

@Chandlero if the game inside was alright and I wanted to play it I would be tempted but not for much more than a tenner!

@Ogbert Fair enough. Each to their own. I do like the designs but I'd rather buy a new game instead as I don't spend much time looking at my consoles. Do these skins not make the console a bit more slippery to hold though or are they textured to prevent that?

Seems like a lot of effort is involved in putting skins on your Switch for no real benefit other than to show off how much patience you have sticking them on.

"Dad, they're selling a new Space Invaders collection on Switch."
"How much do they want for it, Steve?"
"$60!"
"Tell 'em they're dreamin'."

@Teksetter About 6 months to finish the first one then. Seems doable.

@Teksetter @BenAV Almost the same. Played the original for about an hour as soon as I got it and then got distracted. Here we are years later still distracted. Maybe by the time I finish the first the physical of the sequel will be out.

@ralphdibny It's a crime against one of the greatest games of all time certainly. But it's OK as I can just download the ROM and play that rather than on my GameCube, 3DS or Wii U copies of it. (For the easily offended, this is a joke as I will play it on my 3DS as I started a run through the games on that earlier this year.)

@adamman12345 I think you can do what you want with your own copy of a game in your own home. I'm going to turn my copy into kneepads and fashion my N64 into a hat.

I'd be tempted by a Switch Lite SP. Keep that screen protected without the need for messing about with a case.

I downloaded it early on and played about 2 games and I am done with it. How many of those 4 million played it as much as me?
I got about 10 games of Super Mario 35 and a couple of Tetris 99 games on my sister's Switch so I have form.

I will hopefully plug my Wii U back in and play this again at Halloween. Never finished it at the time.

@BrintaPap I have it on my Vita already so would prefer a big screen experience too given a choice.
