I prefer the Rush series over the Extreme G series myself.
Let's hope they get a release, not that I care as I have a complete set of N64 games and still play it regularly with my kids but I'm glad obscure titles like Iggy are getting released.
I've had no problems with LRG, you've gotta be prepared to wait and not expect them any time soon. It also helps if you email them and ask where your copy is after they've released to get bumped into their next shipping que. Just a couple of tips.
Also, if you want to get their games after they've released I recommend VGP ( Video Games Plus) as they get LRG standard releases as well as Premium Edition games, Red Art Games, Strictly Limited, VGNY, Signature Editions and a few others.
It's good to know if you don't want to go through LRG themselves.
I've Blasphemous 2 CE and Last Faith CE ordered through them and have no problems whatsoever.
FInished Lunark, amazing game. Short but very, very good. Really enjoyed it.
Also finished Curse of the Sea Rats, another awesome Metroidvania, really enjoyed it. Great artwork.
Started Disney's Illusion Island, great art and the writing is actually funny. The family is playing 4 player which is awesome since it is a Metroidvania and my kids now like them.
On PS4 I've started Darksiders 3, awesome game so far, absolutely loving it.
Finished Nobody Saves the World.
What an awesome game, Drinkbox have made another game that I absolutely love.
Highly recommended.
Also finished Curse of the Sea Rats after my Kickstarter bundle arrived a few months ago.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, another great Metroidvania.
Started The Bounty Huntress after grabbing it cheap in the Eshop Metroidvania sale.
Also bought a second complete copy of Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey 98 for my N64 collection to steal bits and pieces off to make a mint Aus rated copy so I might play that again while I've got it out.
@JimmyFleck
I highly recommend Astronite and maybe Dogworld.
If you loved Gato then these deserve a look. Both nice and short with heaps of charm and both have that same black and white retro look.
I highly recommend Haiku the Robot Astronite (especially if you like Gatoroboto) Aeterna Noctis (massive game, 40+ hours) Zapling Bygone
I've played nearly every game in that list and these are the games that most overlook.
Not sure if this game is in the list but if you like the Ori games I also recommend Imp of the Sun.
A great Metroidvania with some beautiful art that mixed both the Ori series (artwork and story) with the Gaucamelee series (combat, locked in until you beat the baddies).
Also a game that I love is Dogworld.
It has some great run and gun combat and if you want to unlock everything has a bit of Metroidvania backtracking. Not a traditional Metroidvania but still has some MV elements.
Just finished Tails of Iron in preparation for the sequel.
Really enjoyed it, the bosses are tough as nails but I love a good challenge and I really like the artwork.
Also finished Demoniaca, another good Metroidvania, love the music.
About to start either Lunark or Curse of the Searats.
Also started Walking Dead Destinies just to see if it as bad as everyone thinks after finding a physical copy in the bargain bin already.
Sure it's clunky, the graphics are PS2 era and the production values are as low as they can get but as a fan of the show I'm still enjoying it. I'm taking advantage of how broken some of the game mechanics are but that's half the fun.
It is definitely a good laugh.
Already have Paper Mario pre-ordered so I get the free magnets.
Also have Blasphemous 2 CE pre-ordered even though I already have the standard edition.
Love that game
I also have The Last Faith CE and Lost Ruins pre-ordered for next month.
Finished Eagle Island Twist, great game.
My Collectors Edition of Nobody Saves the World arrived so I've started playing that. What an awesome game, thoroughly enjoying it.
Also my Alien Isolation Collector Edition arrived as well so I'll have to give that a try.
I bought the Elite Edition of Demoniaca so that's also sitting in my collection waiting to be played.
I have an abundance of games to play atm.
Also finished jett Rider, what an awesome little game this was.
Really surprised me at how good it was.
A fun game with some great nods to Donkey Kong Arcade, Pong and Pacman.
Just finished Xeodrifter, great little game, thoroughly enjoyed it, just wish it was longer.
Just started Eagle Island Twist this game is so addictive, I'm loving it. Highly recommended.
I bought spare consoles for cheap on clearance, I have new DS Phat, N64, Wii U, 2 2DS, 2 3DS and 4 Switch consoles all bnib for my future gaming. I have done it nearly every generation so I have replacement consoles ready to go.
Probably got enough to start my own spare parts shop.........hmmmm
Excellent game, one of my favourites. So much so I bought the Limited Signature Edition from Pix n Love with a hand signed card from all the developers.
Glad to see Prince of Persia Lost Crown in there, deserves to be higher.
I am enjoying it more than Dread, I really didn't enjoy Dread, it was ok but those Emmi sections were just annoying more than fun imo. Anyway, PoPTLC is worth every cent. I'm playing it on hard and it is excellent, just about found everything and finished it. One of my favourite Switch games ever.
I keep every game I own, even the bad ones. Bad games are worth lots of money eventually too, my complete copy of Superman 64 is now worth way more than what I paid for it.
I own every Pal N64 game released here in Australia, all complete. I also have a massive Cube, Wii, Wii U and Switch collections. I'm keeping them all, my kids will thank me long after I'm gone. They can sell them and fund whatever they like with them.
In the meantime we all get to play them together, so it's a win, win situation.
Playing Fury Unleashed which I'm enjoying as I picked it up on sale, also continuing my playthrough of They Always Run, started Chronicles of 2 Heroes, love the old school difficulty.
,Also playing Mario Wonder 4 player with the Family which is always a good laugh.
I also bought the English only copy of Top Gear Rally 2 for my N64 collection as my Australian rated version is the multi language release so I might play that again.
That now brings my total to 250 CIB N64 games.
PS4 Mass Effect Andromeda
I'm enjoying it so far, I'm flirting with everyone I can, I've had some amusing conversations.
Switch
Just picked up my Retro Edition of Eagle Island Twist from Premium Edition games and my Collectors Edition of They Always Run from Redart Games so I'll start either one of those two.
Have a great weekend everyone and be good for Santa.
ð
I still have my original complete in box in mint condition along with every other Pal release so I'm good.
Shame they left out the best part.
Glad others get to enjoy it though since complete in box N64 prices are extreme these days.
So glad I bought the whole collection of 244+ games CIB released here in Australia though, my kids love playing them and couch multiplayer is alive and well in my household.

Re: Prince Of Persia Roguelite From Dead Cells Dev Revealed, Switch Not Confirmed

Re: Switch eShop Sale Knocks Up To 80% Off Select 'Metroidvanias'

If you loved Gato then these deserve a look. Both nice and short with heaps of charm and both have that same black and white retro look.
Re: Switch eShop Sale Knocks Up To 80% Off Select 'Metroidvanias'
I highly recommend
Haiku the Robot
Astronite (especially if you like Gatoroboto)
Aeterna Noctis (massive game, 40+ hours)
Zapling Bygone

Anyway, PoPTLC is worth every cent.

One of my favourite Switch games ever.

Have a great weekend everyone.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown?
Picking it up tomorrow.
Day one, I'll support them for bringing out an excellent game.
Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
I keep every game I own, even the bad ones.
Bad games are worth lots of money eventually too, my complete copy of Superman 64 is now worth way more than what I paid for it.
I own every Pal N64 game released here in Australia, all complete.
I also have a massive Cube, Wii, Wii U and Switch collections.
I'm keeping them all, my kids will thank me long after I'm gone.
They can sell them and fund whatever they like with them.

Have a great weekend everyone.
Re: Feature: 13 Best-Looking Switch Games Of 2023
