@Rykdrew I don’t mean it’s annoying in a difficult kinda way I mean in the whole game original tracks and new ones there is not a single track where you are hindered by the track or surroundings on this particular track I have found the one mentioned in the article and the one I have mentioned above they are game breakers if you really like to test yourself on this game it just doesn’t happen on any of the tracks apart from this track
@JakedaArbok have to admit reading peoples comments and love for this track I was expecting it to be amazing (never played tour) but I’m a little disappointed love the graphics and music but it definitely could be better
There is also an annoying corner just after this on the rooftops that lead towards the finish no matter how well you are driving if you hit it at the wrong angle you will crash can be annoying especially if you are going for a fast time on time trial it kinda breaks the course which is a real shame
I have NSO which I don’t have a problem with only have the standard one tho and I have game pass ultimate as I got a deal for £20.99 a month but that includes the pass and a series s so for me they offer excellent value I only buy switch games physical never had any intention of buying Xbox games physical as they don’t hold much value where as Nintendo games keep their value so it suits me
Mario kart 7 and 8 are much better than double dash it’s good but it’s just not the best at the time I remember a lot of critics were putting it down saying it was a gimmick and now people are remembering it fondly I think it’s just nostalgia talking
Last game I pre ordered was Metroid Dread cos I knew I would get my money’s worth even if it reviewed badly I don’t tend to do it unless it’s something I know I will play to destruction
Don’t know if this is the same version as the PS4 but if it is it’s hands down one of the worst games I’ve ever had the misfortune of playing Streets of Rage this is not
Alien soldier is cool but for me super fantasy zone is the pick of those it has cutesy graphics and some seriously catchy tunes but it’s gameplay is top notch
I can’t wait to get new content for MK8 but my worry is having never played tour are these courses short/small compared to the original Mk8 tracks as they were originally designed for mobile gaming
I was gonna download the lite but not now this whole thing is structured like a mobile game which would be fine if the game was free in the first place no thanks square you can join my list just like Ubisoft and EA this is bad practice
I have a small hole at the top left hand side I guess that’s from charging as I’ve never dropped it or mistreated it the joy cons are mint they have rarely been used I’ve had a screen protector since day one so no scratches the hori split pad pro is a god send joy cons are just far to small for my hands but for a launch day console I would say it’s pretty good I will get an oled eventually
Can’t wait to see one of these in person although I think it might suffer due to chip shortages but don’t wanna put my cash down until I have actually tried it
I was interested in this but the price is too steep for what it is and I thought this had been delayed to give it that extra polish oh well back to G Darius for me
Selling my GameCube with 2 wave birds and a ton of games that I had from day 1 so they were all in like new condition I miss it so bad 🙁 also my local Game were having a clear out and they were selling samba de amigo pal version with the maracas for £25 I had it in my hand but thought this is not my kinda game so I put it back
I have no issues with the physics or controls and I played the GameCube versions to death. Monkey target does need fixing it’s just not the same my main issue is with the way it does random levels the reason I enjoyed the original is it got progressively more difficult as you got further here it’s the most simple level followed by the most difficult it just doesn’t flow right
Give us the original c64 version of Giana sisters yes it’s a shameless copy of super Mario bros but the music on the c64 version is outstanding I would definitely buy that
Got cruis'n blast for Christmas not even tried it yet so will be getting into that and my mrs found my psp go in the cupboard which has a GBA emulator so Metroid fusion and some Mario kart super circuit
Gonna wait until I know more and see some reviews I skipped splatoon 2 cos whilst I enjoyed the multiplayer of the original I thought it was a bit light on content
@Vyacheslav333 wow that’s an amazing amount of choices right there and I agree with all of them would much rather stuff like that than Nights which is good but hasn’t aged well SOtN needs to be on switch what about a castlevania collection with SOtN and Rondo of blood
@Milton_Burle I 100% agree I would love some dlc as someone who has owned the Wii u version with the dlc it does feel kinda stale now I just mentioned about Nintendo lavishing so much love on Mario kart tour and the same should be done for 8 but it caused a bit of an outrage amongst some on here
@Milton_Burle be careful what you say I mentioned this and got blasted by people telling me this is the deluxe version therefore it doesn’t need dlc but I think it’s logical given how well it’s been selling
Kinects main problem was the space required to make it work properly you need a sports hall for it to work perfectly some of the games were quite a lot of fun
@romanista that’s actually pretty cool looks like it’s better quality to be honest but whichever one you get will be great for the simple fact you can just put it in the case and away you go
@romanista I got one off Amazon it’s made by butterfox fits the switch with the split pad pro connected and I think 12 games has a cover inside to protect the screen it’s excellent cos I no longer have to disconnect the pad to store it
Captain toad is excellent feels like a Nintendo game of old simple but so much fun to play, it’s charming too. I picked up Horace with 90% off great game I would have been happy paying full price for it really wanna try fez
@FragRed yeah it’s a shame really cos the c64 and Amiga had some great games and you could literally throw a c64 down the stairs and it would still work 😂
@FragRed ha 😂 I remember reading that now you have come to mention it. Really is an odd choice I pretty much forgot it even existed the only advantage it had over the original was it’s loading times
What an odd choice the c64 games system wow I know the c64 had plenty of great games it was my first computer but the games system take away all the functionality of the c64 who exactly did they ask 😂
I tried my best with this game there is just something missing as others have said it’s not a patch on the n64 version just have to play everybody’s golf on vita for my golfing fix
I have a launch day switch and still really enjoy using it the concept of the switch is awesome I have other consoles but always return I just wish it had a bit more power under the hood cos no other company makes first party games like Nintendo do
@Astral-Grain it certainly is the best way to play the game it gets rid of the random battles which happened far too often on Dreamcast still a fantastic game which deserves a remaster
Rouge squadron 2 is a fantastic looking game still plays well too Rez on the Dreamcast is still a striking looking game played it the other week with the tv hooked up to the stereo outstanding wish sega would port it to the switch
