@dluxxx ha lol not reluctant as in I’m not sure about the game I mean about the freezing issues with Doom I absolutely love Quake still play Quake 3 arena online on my trusty Dreamcast
@BulkSlash thanks for the info it’s just never mentioned anywhere and it’s so frustrating I have Doom 64 and you are right that never freezes I know it’s only a minor thing but it puts me off playing
Was gonna buy this but I’m reluctant as I have Doom and Doom 2 but the are annoying me every time I put the console into sleep and try to resume they just freeze doesn’t happen with any other games just those 2
@Tendogamerxxx the switch has a vast library of arcade games arcade archives alone must have over 200 games then you’ve got the Sega ages releases and various others
Held back on buying this after being burned by Mario golf still there is no reason for me to get this which is frustrating cos the actual gameplay is good
Shredders revenge trying to complete the story mode with all the characters and as always recently Andro Dunos 2 going for a 1 credit run but it’s proving to quite difficult excellent games tho
I have had this problem with the capcom home arcade I found that using different power supplies can have varying effects on how the unit runs the one that came with it wouldn’t even turn on at first I got it working but it kept on giving me a black screen when things got hectic on certain games I ended up buying a good quality psu and now it runs fine
Mario kart 8 actually really enjoying the new tracks not played tour so some are a surprise to me tracks like waluigi pinball are classics it’s no where near as bad as the review on here makes it out to be
Sega being onboard with the GameCube was amazing for me it seemed like the Dreamcast continued in many ways these were the type of games I had become accustomed to and to have the added benefit of Nintendo’s awesome output made the GameCube one of my favourite consoles Still wish I had spice orange GameCube to this day
Just been checking the site out love the look of it and some great articles already every time I load the site up I hear time extension from virtua racing in my head 😂
H.E.R.O C64 I had played the game a lot at school on BBC micro and loved it still have a quick go from time to time on C64 mini and I think I got space pilot about a week later used to be able to buy a couple of games every week with my pocket money 😂 good times!
@JasmineDragon Andro dunos 2 is superb I managed to pick it up reasonably cheap physical last week been playing it ever since has a real quality feel to it Got back into Mario kart 8 recently can’t wait for some more tracks to arrive
@Ratmasterd21 what you say is true and it’s not always a bad thing cos as we know Nintendo have a knack of getting the best out of their hardware and personally I don’t have a problem the switch it’s just recently I seem to be reading a lot of things about switch having to make compromises when it comes to software compared to other systems available but is that down to devs being lazy when it comes to switch ports cos Nintendo don’t often seem to struggle I have owned my switch since day 1 I just feel it needs a bit more grunt under the hood to truly compete
Oh man I have been looking forward to this so much but it’s getting increasingly common to read about compromised switch versions of various games time to give us an upgrade Nintendo
Persona 4 golden is great played it to death on vita can’t wait to get it on switch also monkey island was a favourite back in the Amiga days can’t wait to see how it turns out Any chance of a blade runner review Nintendo life!
@samuelvictor I have the competition pro controller it’s never let me down the d pad has gone quite loose but it’s still great to use but what the hell is that slider switch underneath doesn’t seem to do anything
I have the 2.4ghz six button megadrive controller from retro bit and it’s been fantastic, battery life is great and it’s really reliable I bought it for my original MD but works great with switch even has a home button
The jap version looks like they used soul calibur as it’s inspiration with its sepia tones but I prefer the US/EUR version it’s definitely more eye catching
Sonic jam is an excellent example of a compilation done well it actually fixed a lot of the slowdown and even some weird sound issues found on the megadrive versions
RIP those photos on the back of the Dreamcast box are class it’s as though they took them without him being aware got to love some of the expressions on his face
Had the misfortune of playing this when I first got a super famicom lame final fight rip off although final fight was only 1 player it was still ten times better than this
Oh man too many to choose just 1 strider was my choice but I think power stone would be great online also I loved viewtiful joe on the GameCube so all of those pls capcom
Project justice was a bit off beat but still a fantastic game a collection of capcom more obscure titles would be most welcome
It does look really smooth and clean but I always liked the look of Mario kart 64 the characters sometimes had that claymation look about them this is the kinda thing Nintendo themselves should be offering to NSO subscribers as an option
I got bioshock collection from cd keys for £10.99 just a few days ago bargain at that price plus it’s cheaper than the eshop
The messenger should be £7.19 surely
@Sunsy I agree with what you are saying and to be honest the sega ages games have been a massive highlight of owning a switch for me I’m always baffled by sega and their odd decisions game preservation has been a hot topic recently so when I say they make bad decisions it’s really about timing not their output for this generation
People are talking about preservation and sega go and do the opposite oh sega you’re business sense is still the same as in the Dreamcast days luckily I still have an MD and the original carts
