@RunGMhx I know what you mean, as much as I wanted a new model this doesn’t offer enough for me to justify buying one. Years ago I would’ve been all over it but now my adult voice of reason rationalises things a bit better!
@Clyde_Radcliffe maybe it’s something to do with that whole Nintendo ethos about them concentrating on their own stuff and not getting blindsided with what everyone else is doing? But on the other hand maybe if he did play other stuff it would open his mind a little to using Nintendo characters in different genres.
@scully1888 but this article is using the experience of playing a game as a narrative to their gender and sexual politics. These articles are getting much more common in journalism across every subject and they are often completely made up…..the writer taking an event from their past and using it as a basis for an article for what’s going on in their lives right now. Example, I could be a pilot and write a retrospective article about Pilotwings and say it changed my life and made me want to be a pilot. It’s complete nonsense but it try’s to pull at peoples heart strings and gain emotion from the reader. It’s just poor, lazy journalism written to fuel the writers own agenda.
@SpringDivorce because the playing area was smaller on the Sega, the graphics had a higher resolution and consequently looked nicer. I love Mercs, it’s one of my favourites.
@VIIIAxel because they're a troll, if you read through many of their comments they constantly contradict themselves about what they play, what they like, what they don’t like. It’s all very sad and shows a huge immaturity, their posts are school ground stuff.
@DaTrashMan completely agree, it feels like some of the articles and reviews these days are written with some kind of agenda that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
@Tandy255 exactly, Switch games hold their value incredibly well. I paid £39 for it from Shopto so even with fees I should see around £32 back, it’s a small loss but I got to try the game out.
@Clyde_Radcliffe I wanted to enjoy it but it just didn’t grab me, the graphics are great but the courses are so sparse, the music is poor and I felt that after a days play there was little more to offer.
Got my copy delivered yesterday and put about 4-5 hours into it. It’s very mediocre and I’ll unfortunately be listing it on eBay today. Very disappointed.
Brilliant console, I remember leaving my night shift at the Royal Mail and going straight to Dixon’s to wait in line for one ( no preordering nonsense back then ). Also though, very much a console of its time, the games don’t hold up great these days but I’m happy to have the memories and to have been there at the time.

Re: Microids To Reveal Panzer Dragoon And The House Of The Dead Switch Physical Editions
Panzer Dragoon regularly drops to around £5 on the eshop, I just can’t justify buying it physically
Re: Should I Buy A Switch OLED? Which Nintendo Switch Is Best For Me?
Funny how many people are talking about upgrading simply because of the white dock.

Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
@Gamecuber not negative at all. Just the voice of reason. No upgrade for me either.

Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
@Jokerwolf please don’t pretend you know when the new Switch is out, it just makes you look incredibly silly
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
@Jokerwolf you and countless others, myself included, who predicted a simple revision.
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
@travisrusko it’s a dealbreaker!
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
Nothing about improved processing though? just a slightly bigger OLED screen and 64gb internal storage.

What is the actual point in a physical release if there’s a mandatory download?

I feel like this site will soon be called LGBQTlife or feminismlife. I’m sick of everything being twisted towards these subjects these days.
Re: DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two Expected To Arrive On Switch "Later This Year"
Not sure what’s this big obsession with physical. I picked Doom Eternal up for £24.99 in a sale. It would never be that cheap physically

Re: Streets Of Rage 4 DLC And Physical Edition Release Dates Confirmed
@Teksetter do it sooner rather than later otherwise it’ll be worth next to nothing

Re: Review: Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol - A Classic That Deserves Better
The megadrive version was superior in every way
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 DLC And Physical Edition Release Dates Confirmed
Easily one of the best Switch games available, once you learn how to play it properly and master all the techniques and nuances it’s sublime.

@BloodNinja …..just to let you know the circus is in town and they are always looking for clowns.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Golf: Super Rush Scores A Debut Hole In One
I bought it but just felt it was very average so sold it on eBay. It feels like a game that’s only 75% complete and was rushed out
Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On The Shin Megami Tensei V Premium Edition
The article should read ‘scalpers set their sights on literally anything that’ll be in demand’ ……old news and the way of the world now.
Re: Random: Internet Goes Wild Over One Incredibly Small Detail In Metroid Dread
‘Internet goes wild’ & ‘mind blowing’ are probably the 2 most overused and inaccurate phrases to describe something these days.

Re: Poll: Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@Tandy255 exactly, Switch games hold their value incredibly well. I paid £39 for it from Shopto so even with fees I should see around £32 back, it’s a small loss but I got to try the game out.
Re: Poll: Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Got it, played it, putting it on eBay later
Re: Nintendo Has Released A Day-One Update For Mario Golf: Super Rush
@DominoHurley there’s no spectators, no little Nintendo Easter eggs, nothing at all. It’s Mario Tennis all over again.
Re: Nintendo Has Released A Day-One Update For Mario Golf: Super Rush
@Clyde_Radcliffe I wanted to enjoy it but it just didn’t grab me, the graphics are great but the courses are so sparse, the music is poor and I felt that after a days play there was little more to offer.
