@Zuljaras got my steam deck at last I had enough to get an oled I’m really pleased with it so far done quite a bit of tinkering around with various settings also managed to get uncharted legacy of thieves and it’s stunning on the deck plays really well oh got castlevania collection for £2.29 its an amazing piece of kit also I’ve tried a few games that are not verified but they run superbly

This is a great game had it on Dreamcast for years can be a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it it’s fantastic this and Zero Gunner 2 are amazing to have on Switch

@Folkloner true they could actually be sat in a warehouse somewhere unopened brand new I’m not trying to take anything away from Sony it’s an incredible achievement I just find it odd that they amended the figures like that

Those PlayStation 2 figures are questionable Sony seems to have added to the 155m total somewhat plus the console was manufactured for over 12 years so the switch still has time to overtake it but I doubt Nintendo will continue to manufacture the og switch once the switch 2 gets released

Been playing Ridge Racer 64 it’s actually really good having never played the N64 version I’m surprised the graphics are very clean compared to the PlayStation 1 version but the handling is not as good also the ridiculous voice from the ps1 has been toned down which is a shame as it really suits the game great game though I’ve nearly finished it so I will be going for record lap times just wish the switch had a modern day version of its own

@Zuljaras thanks for the reply sounds like it’s my kinda thing I really wanna get one it’s just weighing up the costs for me at the moment I sometimes play CSGO is it playable on the deck and if so how does it run I just feel like it could open up a side of gaming to me that’s definitely not possible on most consoles

@Zuljaras I’m seriously considering buying a steam deck oled have a few old consoles to trade in to put towards it. I notice that you post quite often and it always looks amazing just wondering are they as good as they look and is it worth it to get one I will be getting a switch 2 cos I love Nintendo’s exclusives but handheld gaming has become my main type of gaming I just want an honest answer as they are not cheap

@Thomystic yeah didn’t think of that it just occurred to me when I was using my ps vita it just seemed better but I suppose the switch is much bigger it’s just kinda odd like a Dreamcast controller where the cable comes from the bottom of the controller and you have a little groove to keep it out of the way just seems like a bad design but also comes from necessity

The headphone jack being at the top of the console really bothers me I do use Bluetooth headphones most of the time but occasionally I use wired usually when I forget to charge them and I guess quite a lot of people use a gaming headset I find it quite frustrating having the wire trailing round the back I thought they might have fixed this when the switch oled was released but it’s still there feel like it’s a bit of an oversight

Seems crazy to say but Mario kart 8 is 11 this year and it still sells by the bucket load on switch granted I’m talking about the Wii u release but even so a relatively simple racing game has managed to hold my attention for so long think we need a sequel now Nintendo

I was definitely surprised by my most played game it was Easy come Easy golf but saying that every time family or friends come to mine it’s what everyone seems to want to play Mario kart 8 was a close second its been top of my list for a few years running

@Toastmaster I still have my vita it’s like you say hampered by some bad design choices I still play Ridge Racer both psp and vita versions and everybody’s golf or hotshots golf depending where you are it’s a nice size to put in a bag I just always felt that Sony didn’t really care about it from the very beginning I know Nintendos consoles are not always technically the best but they always seem to get the best out of them I know the switch is underpowered but it’s been a joy to own from day one

Well good luck to them I certainly wouldn’t buy one I still feel like I got burned off the ps vita it was a great little machine with an awesome screen at the time but it was dead on arrival it’s as if Sony had no intention of supporting it and the memory card fiasco killed it off very quickly

The game is on offer at Argos for £33 just on my way to pick this up can’t wait!

I went with Europe/North America purely for nostalgia reasons cos when I was younger double dragon machines were everywhere and I’m pretty sure that was the artwork that was on the marquee always had a soft spot for double dragon even tho the home conversions were not so great compared to the arcade

This is a great game have it on Dreamcast been playing it for years but if this switch release includes a Tate mode I’m definitely double dipping

My copy of Blazing strike should be arriving today I’m eager to give it a go also will be playing some more of Xeno Crisis on Dreamcast just wish I had the virtual on twin stick

@JSC016 I played the originals to destruction and I have to say the switch version is awesome

This is shaping up to be an excellent collection still play most of these on my Dreamcast project justice is just crazy bonkers but at the same time amazing and the power stone games are outstanding well done capcom (for once) 😂

Didn’t killer 7 get remastered for pc a few years back just release that on switch still have my GameCube original not played it in a while

It’s not a bad game by any means but it feels stiff and unfinished had it for the og Xbox but it’s not a patch on capcom vs SNK or it’s sequel

Ace combat 7 for me it really is excellent way better than I expected also I’m trying to finish Neo Breakout from Atari 50 got to level 26 at the moment I’m just hopelessly addicted to it

@mattesdude the first few missions help you get used to the controls they are like a disguised tutorial and it’s more arcade than sim I was surprised how quickly I got into it

Just got this a couple of days ago having never played any of the series but I’m really enjoying it plays really well and I’ve not noticed any drops in frame rate looks awesome on switch oled

I will be playing some F Zero 99 and I have a new addiction in the form of Neo Breakout off the Atari 50 collection

This game is great I have put so many hours into it way more than I expected good to see Nintendo regularly updating it

@-wc- I agree with you on a lot of your points sometimes when you do actually play the arcade version they don’t feel as polished or as complete as the home versions graphics aside. Rolling thunder 2 was one of the first games I really noticed it on the Mega drive it has mission dialogue before you start and a nice little ending sequence at the end of each level nothing like that on the arcade version. All the capcom fighters on Dreamcast are amazing and they all definitely do have extras and extra polish added to them Third strike on the anniversary collection is no where near as good as the Dreamcast version

Game has been on a steady decline for years the shops at the moment look like a jumble sale and games have kinda taken a backseat to all the merchandise and general tat they sell but they don’t help themselves they are quite high priced compared to Smyths or Argos which where I live they are all within walking distance of each other you can save yourself serious cash just by checking all the stores when buying a new game

@chickje Buggy boy is great still play it now on A500 mini I would love an updated version

The demo has quite a few hiccups and stutters along the way but I feel the game itself is just a by the numbers type of game nothing really that interesting

I always thought that these games chugged along they were pretty choppy on SNES certainly when compared to the lotus games on the Amiga

Got mine at a midnight launch with BoW it’s been such a great console for me perhaps my favourite of all time bring on switch 2 or whatever it’s gonna be called

Still play crazy taxi regularly on Dreamcast I love the game but I fear this will be full of micro transactions or even worse a live service game

@beartown me too lol definitely picking this up

This looks great but can you still swan dive on to concrete not played these for years can’t wait to get this

I wasn’t sure about this game but ended up buying return to castlevania physical it’s a great crossover been really enjoying this

Ultra street fighter 2 is a really good game that I think gets overlooked to not even make this list is ridiculous and the street fighter collection deserves a higher score Third strike is one of the greatest fighting games ever created and the collection is worth buying just for that reason alone

Great little update I have spent so much time on this game recently it’s becoming my GOTY

Love the letter about the joy con strap in the washing machine I have accidentally put my Samsung flip phone from years ago in the washer surprisingly it still worked and when I went to trade it for an upgrade the guy in the shop said this is in great condition so clean lol

@sdelfin you have to have the 8bitdo adapter 2 which I already had but yeah it’s an extra expense if you don’t already have the adapter you also have to update the controller and adapter to get it to work

@Serpenterror I have that controller love the d pad I use it for arcade archives Neo Geo games but recently been playing F Zero 99 with it and it works a treat also works on megadrive/genesis mini

My launch day switch has crack’s which are no fault of my own I always look after my console’s and an oled version should be offered from day one not as a revision

@Magician Rez would be a great fit for switch and cosmic smash Sega just sit on all these awesome IPs

I use the pro controller when docked but I am gonna try out the wireless snes controller I use that all the time for f zero 99

F Zero 99 for me can’t get enough of it also been playing EA FC 24 it plays a really decent game of football certainly the best you can get on switch not bothered about frame rates it’s actually really good

I’ve been playing f-zero 99 a lot really got into it although I’m not the best I have been slowly climbing up the ranks. Bought ACA Pulstar in the sale keep buying Neo Geo games since I got my 8bitdo Neo Geo controller gives the games an authentic feel to them

@Dr_Corndog I was really into the series but I think it was MGS4 that put me off I have the hd collection on ps vita so I have no real need for this great to have them on switch for those who have never played these I just find it a waste of money for me

The original was superb for the time on ps1 but I feel as the series went on they just got so cut scene heavy and not much of a game hard pass for me

@KIRO I read somewhere that the in game text can be tweaked to your personal preference

Riiiiiidge racer pls namco
