@Thraxmo I came to them a bit later with 8 but absolutely fell in love with that and then played the older ones as they came out on DS. I just want a console I can play them all on and expand the already fantastic library of RPGs on Switch.
@Thraxmo well my response was going to be this looks like it’s based on the phone port which was in English so should be fairly simple to bring across. It is obviously much better than the phone ports since the Switch has real controls, it isn’t stuck in portrait and the whole portable/TV aspect. I own all the DQ games on my phone and would happily rebuy them all on Switch. Ideally we get 1-9 but I think it’s more realistic to expect 1-8 (let me dream of the Switch being the perfect RPG machine with all my favourites please 😀)
@nessisonett my parents were up a few weeks ago and brought back a bunch of stuff which has now run out. I’m now missing tattie scones so much I’m going to try and make my own this weekend.
The worst bit is I can’t even point to any stuff we get down here exclusively either as a counterpoint!
The bit that drives my point home the most I think is I know most of the cafes in Brighton that have black pudding in their breakfasts. A lot don’t have it and most of the time it’s an optional extra.
@nessisonett you take that back! I’ve lived in a desolate hellscape with no pies, square sausage or tattie scones since I moved to Sussex and try and get back as much as possible to experience the wonders of Irn Bru in McDonalds and Black Pudding suppers.
I am super disappointed no one considered Zork HD. Just think! It would be in 80 column mode unlike the C64 version. Not sure if the switch can match the blistering speed of a C64 floppy drive though...
@BoilerBroJoe I was there back in 2007 and wasn’t aware of the controversy for a few days (until it was on the news as the PM went) and as I said before it was a beautiful place with a very very strange museum attached. The stuff on pre ww2 history was all well and good and I always like looking at old armour and swords but after I read “America forced Japan to attack it after it’s naked show of aggression” (or words to that effect) I couldn’t stop laughing and had to revisit all the other bits to see if I could spot any Japanese Nationalism arguments in them. Definitely eye opening as it was my first experience with seeing WW2 from a axis apologist slant.
I’ve actually been to the shrine (has anyone else in the comments gone there?) and it is a very beautiful temple.
I’ve also been aware of the controversy around it all since I went (when I was in Japan it was in the news for the prime minister of the time going there) and I can see why Chinese and Korean people are pissed as the Japanese army did unspeakably awful things and quite a lot of people weren’t prosecuted (this is the fact I’m shakiest on and I can’t remember where I read it so if someone else has any further info please post).
There’s also an attached museum which is quite eye opening as it blames America for forcing japan to attack pearl harbour and also claims japan just wanted to look after all of Asia under a Co-prosperity sphere to make everyone’s lives better... try squaring that up with the rape of nanking or unit 731
@MrGawain I don't think profits are the main aim of this magazine. The other 2 magazines put out by Raspberry Pi (MagPi and HackSpace) have all issues available to download as PDFs on their website. Their main aim is to expand the Raspberry Pi community and highlight interesting projects.
It's a non for profit organisation looking to get more people into coding and it seems to be succeeding at that and selling a lot of computers in the process.
PS2 used DVDs which are 4.2GB if single layered or 8.5GB if dual layered (you refocus the laser slightly to get the other layer which is why you sometimes get a 1-2 second pause when watching a movie on DVD around half way).
I'm pretty sure they upressed the textures which would account for the other 500 or so MB.
I would hazzard a guess that minecraft wont be compatible. When you first boot it up it automatically created a 2GB reserved area on your onboard memory. As far as i understand thats not immediatrly used but is so you can have multiple worlds saved at once. Hopefully it means things like that rather than it needing to be patched in.

@BoilerBroJoe damnit! You stole my post and made it more eloquent in the process😞
