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
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
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
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
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
@CharlieGirl really don’t know I remember buying a steel book special edition not sure which one but I was so underwhelmed by what was on offer for a single player I don’t think I touched it for a few months by which time there had been an update that added arcade mode but to be honest I always returned to older versions like dream match and evolution as the single player options were much better
@CharlieGirl I really can’t remember which one it was but I’m sure arcade was added as an update long after the game was released which I think is pretty poor for an arcade game
This is a great game but I think I didn’t play it much back on ps3 cos it doesn’t include an arcade mode online only which is not great if you plan on playing whilst travelling or whatever
Octopath traveler 2 picked it up at a bargain from Argos and just set up my Dreamcast with GD Emu after my disk drive failed so will be playing some of my favourites this weekend
This should be the standard your device will last longer than the battery anyway it’s like laptops at one time you could remove and replace the battery now it has to be sent away or go to a repairer’s which is ridiculous and wasteful
Great game and awesome artwork on all versions very tough decision but I went for Europe as it’s familiar to me but I do really like the North American version too
@RadioHedgeFund yep all my DC controllers still work perfectly my joycons however are unplayable sometimes I just got a spilt pad pro and solved the problem
@Ristar24 Rez is a beautiful game it would be so nice to have it on switch just sit back with an oled switch and some decent headphones would be gaming heaven for me
@Ooyah yeah it was a great game I always found it difficult but interesting at the same time I really should give it a go but to be honest the c64 games that I have played recently all seem to be brutally hard I always think how did I play these back in the day
Street Fighter 6 is probably really good but I bet people will be wary of buying it cos of all the dlc they are probably waiting for it to be rereleased with all the content even tho it’s probably on the disc already just it’s hidden behind a paywall
@Miu Sony used oled for the original ps vita and then later models used an lcd display maybe it’s a cost thing but that’s why the original ps vita is more sought after so it’s not unheard of for that to happen
This is a great game have it on Dreamcast but I will definitely be getting this for switch a collection would have been nice tho but the switch is like my mini arcade
Final fantasy vii for me on the PlayStation 1 I’m not sure if any of the final fantasy games were available here in the uk before that I was aware of the Snes games but were they ever released in pal territories I’m not sure I was a regular reader of super play and I always felt envy as you could only get them on US import

Re: Hands On: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 Could Be So Much More, But Isn't
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

Re: Sharp Is Supplying LCD Displays For A 'New Console' As Fans Await Switch Successor
@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed yeah that makes sense I suppose but I really don’t wanna go back to lcd after having oled the difference is quite staggering
