Could this all be Nintendo on a very big build up to tomorrow ?

I had an absolute nightmare trying to change shells. I buggered the RH Joycon, there was a very small ‘door’ like tab that needs to be closed to keep a wire connected. This has broken off, so I can’t ensure that the wire stays connected

I think someone is changing the list. DKC was at 50 earlier (I am sure I wasn’t dreaming it)

I still have my GBA SP, and, dare I say it, it’s a wonderful ‘Port’ machine.

Doom and Final Fight are fantastic ports (a lot better than the SNES versions.

Other than the games listed, my favourites are:
GTA (I guess comparable to PS1, plays very well)
Speedball 2 (is a perfect port from the Amiga, including Sound...”Ice Cream, Ice Cream”)
Desert Strike (plays just as well as the MD did. Fantastic game)

I cannot remember the Soundtracks on these games, but wish they could add songs from Public Domain or Ban This

Is that you in this game Kate ?

I have to admit that when first saw the screen shots, I was disappointed. But that disappointment changed as soon as i see a video of dragon roost island. In motion it looked fantastic

Was hoping for a late SM 35th Surprise Drop...Maybe Galaxy 2?
I guess we have 1 more week

I guess that in 2 generations time, this is the Port of breath of the wild we will get.
I would probably double dip

I know it’s the mushroom kingdom, but I hope the pizza is without mushrooms

I didn’t actually play this game until 2003. When this had come out on the N64, I had moved on to the Dreamcast.
I eventually played on a Game Cube collection disc.
I never completed the game. I loved the Side Quests, but the part I didn’t like was having to do all 4 bosses in time span (when I say didn’t like, what I really mean is a found in too difficult).
I have it on the 3DS, but still have completed it on that either.
What i love about this game is it feels like a Dream in the world of Ocarina of Time, where people you know from the real world, have an alternative life, and different jobs.
We’ve all had those types of dreams......haven’t we....?....haven’t we?......<gets coat>

If I were to write a wish list, they would all be Ports
Give me the following, and I would be happy (the originals, no iPhone looking tat)
Cannon Fodder (Amiga)
Lemmings (Amiga)
Speedball 2 (Amiga)
Chaos Engine (Amiga)
North & South (not the remake) (Amiga)
Alien Breed (Amiga)
Super Cars (Amiga)
IK+ (Amiga)
Starwars (Atari Arcade)
Chase HQ (Arcade)
Escape from the planet of the Robot Monsters (Arcade)
Rainbow Islands (Arcade)
Cabal (Arcade)
Daytona
Sega Rally
Virtua Fighter
Edit: Pilot Wings 64

@Ooyah P47 is already released as an Arcade Archives title

Bring back Ages.
Release a Shenmue Collection on Switch.
Give us the original Sega Rally & Daytona on Switch

Day one for me

Perfect day to give an updated trailer for Breath if the Wild 2, and with Audio not played backwards

Edit: The Switch is my favourite console of all time. Convenience is key to this.
But Dreamcast and Amiga still have a special place for me

I would buy a Switch version of EA Replay.

Would like EA to release Desert / Jungle / Urban Strike.
I still have the MD cartridges, also have Desert Strike on GBA, also have EA Replay on PSP. But for sake of convenience, would love it if they came to Switch

Great news. Hopefully this will, and the 1st has sold well. More Saturn games would be welcome

Stop your grinin’ and drop your linen

Will pick up a couple of games from the Hamster sale. Puzzle Bobble and Elevator Action have been on my wish list for ages

Reminds me of the battery pack I once had for the Game Gear to avoid using AAs

I have played a few games so far, but totally worth the price, although (and this is knit picking) I would prefer the Arcade Cabinets to have been the games original art, instead of Generic)
Also, hoping future packs to be released

My favourite is still Ocarina of Time, but I love the way every Zelda game is different, or tries something different.

Keep ‘em coming. Rogue Squadron next please

I remember having many hours of fun with Hard Drivin’ 2 on the Amiga. It had its own track editor, lot fun making your own tracks

I would buy them.

Also, Tony Hawk for Smash? Could also add Christian Hosoi for some rivalry

I remember in 2002 when Wind Waker was first shown. That also had a hate brigade (due to the toon like graphics). That is now considered a favourite by many.

@RaphaBoss ha ha.
In F1 if you pit for fresh tyres, micro transaction required (£1 per Tyre)

If you buy a movie on DVD 15 years ago, would you expect to now get the same movie on Blu-ray at reduced price because you already have the DVD?

Looking on the bright side, at least they no longer have the Star Wars licence,

The only aspect that prevented this from being a top game was Fi. I feel they put too much hand holding in this game due to the Wii being a more casual Console

I will only be paying £40 for this from the eShop.
£40 is ok, and we have yet to see the new features it will have.

I was ok with the Direct, and still expecting more Zelda and Metroid through this year.

@ukaskew Wii version

May have to pick up Burnout Paradise at that price

I think the best part of the Direct is knowing there is more to come.
I think Skyward Sword is a fantastic Zelda, probably the best Story of all, but I really hope Fi is changed.
Golf looks fun,

Hopefully Fi is toned down

If there’s going to be a new Mario reveal, I really hope it uses ideas from Bowsers Fury. Really enjoying this game.

As sad as it may be, I’m actually hoping for more ports. Of course I will always have interest in new games, but I still want to see Dreamcast / Saturn games as originally hinted at with the Ages Line, along with their greatest Arcade games.

Would like Arcade Archives to confirm more eighties/nineties games from Taito/Midway/Atari, with some Amiga classics thrown in.

More Gamecube / Wii U ports are also very much welcome (even though I still have these consoles, for me, Switch is the ‘Console of Convenience’

Anything Zelda related would also be good

@NGNYS I like that you showed Amstrad in your VC line up, and not Speccy.
Salut the 8-Bit master race.
👍
Edit: C64 is ok I guess

My expectations:
Sega U-Turn on Ages (Daytona available to download after direct)
Amiga Virtual Console (Lemmings, Cannon Fodder, Speedball 2 to be released end of this week)

Hopefully it’s a Zelda game, but a little late for 35th Anniversary to be anything other than a simple port

Hopefully, this road continues on to Rogue Squadron Trilogy.
Also, would love to see the original Atari Arcades

.....who am I to disagree.....

What does “pwned” actually mean?

It is the same as “you’ve been Tango’d” ?

I have 313 gb free space. Managed to get a 1tb Card in an Amazon sale.
Have +200 games all digital.
Having that many quality games, portable, without having to swap memory / games card, is fantastic.

The big hitters I have (size):
NBA 2K20: 41.3 gb
The Witcher 3: 31.3 gb
LA Noire: 27.4 gb
Res Evil Revelations 2: 23.6 gb
Doom: 21.9 gb

I would buy another Switch, but they make so difficult to share digital content, I am holding back. (More fool me for going all digital this gen)

@BlubberWhale FPS in today’s context is not the same as the old NTSC (60Hz) or PAL (50Hz). 60Hz in this context is 60 Fields per Second. For a frame of animation, 2 interlaced Fields are required, giving 30 Frames per second (or 25 frames per second for PAL)
This is why PAL games were always slower
