Go Goldeneyes! Great time for Vancouver sports teams right now (aside from the Canucks).
In terms of the permission thing, the Canucks use the James Bond theme when they get a powerplay, and the Ottawa Senators have used the GoldenEye pause music for coach's challenges before (not sure if they still do). I assume it's included in a licensing package.
@BaldB3lper78 You can wake the ROG Xbox Ally in both "Sleep" and "Hibernate" mode in my experience.
Sleep feels kinda redundant because it uses battery, but Hibernate is much more like Quick Resume on an Xbox console. The problem is that it doesn't always work perfectly - sometimes the game turns back on with no issues, other times it crashes.
I'm sure they'll keep refining it over time, but yeah - I'm using Hibernate quite a lot with my Ally at the moment and finding it OK for the most part. I believe (but don't quote me on this) it works the same as it does on the old Ally devices.
There might be another alternative that I haven't come across yet... this is just my experience so far.
@K1LLEGAL Yeah, definitely expensive pickups. No regrets though. I was absolutely hooked on Pocket Card Jockey all throughout December and January, barely played anything else.
Picked up Pocket Card Jockey and Nintendo Pocket Football Club earlier this year, and they've become two of my favourite 2DS games of all time! Really glad I didn't miss out
Great review as always PJ! Like others here, I'd be tempted if they included some deep cuts. Not so bothered about the hits when I can belt them out on Rock Band 4 for my Xbox instead.

Looks awesome — most interested in the spin-off sections to be honest! Will have to pick one of these up.

@OmnitronVariant One of the many reasons why the 3DS is constantly going up in price these days.

I've never bought a Character Pass for any fighting game before, but I might have to get it for Kenny Omega's mocap here.

@foursider I don't think my wife would call them "abs of steel" necessarily, but thank you!
We need a Ring Fit Adventure 2 on the Switch 2 for sure.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2025 'Year In Review' Is Available Now
1. Super Mario Party Jamboree
2. Ring Fit Adventure
3. Mario Party Superstars
(I clearly like Mario Party too much)

Definitely my favourite Mario Kart to date.

Very sorry to hear this.
Re: Feature: Tee Lopes Talks Sonic, Streets Of Rage, And Making Music On A PS1
Great interview Gavin!
If there are any 'Sonic R' fans in the house, go and listen to Tee & Mariana Lopes' version of Can You Feel The Sunshine... it's so good.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #64 - International Superstar Soccer 98
Europe for sure. I always liked the France 98 mascot, but the Japanese cover is so dull. Too much white.

@AlienigenX Hot Space is my favourite Queen album.
I'll see myself out.
