Outrun was dire on the 8 bit computers but Operation Wolf and Chase HQ were awesome on the CPC464…….both also had great cover art by the late Bob Wakelin. The popularity of Call Of Duty has never faltered, I’m amazed we haven’t had a Switch version.
@Donutman I understand that logic as I used to do the same thing but nowadays with most titles getting huge discounts on the eshop I rarely buy physical.
@Giggler The Last Of Us 2 is a master class of terrible writing and storytelling. The final scenes make absolutely no sense whatsoever in the context of everything that came before it……and it stole its best idea from Metal Gear Solid 2.
It’s a great game but I don’t think I’ll ever go back for another play through, for me game of the year is Super Mario 3D World simply for how much fun I have with the game, it never fails to make me smile.
Cruis’n Blast gets my second place vote, I’ve put so many hours into that game.
As someone who owned a C64 back in the day I can honestly say that the games are best left as memories. Better off just watching videos of them on YouTube and soaking up the brilliant music as most of them play like complete dogs these days.
River City Girls 2 looks great but it’s months out, the rest of the stuff was really underwhelming. Was hoping for details on Silksong, Shredders Revenge and Sports Story.
2023 for a £200 product that’s already been manufactured prior is quite frankly ridiculous regardless of component shortages. Makes me laugh as well how full payment is needed, whatever happened to the days of putting down £20 to preorder something…….oh wait, it’s because that way they aren’t risking any of their own money but will happily tie up their customers money for months. What an appalling business model.
@Cosmo_Joe not just in the Sun but loads of articles about him and it was on the mainstream news years back…. Seems there’s lots of people on here that don’t like the truth about him!
I’d like to see it in the style of Street Fighter 4 with a bigger set of moves and huge character models. Smash Bros is great as a love letter to gaming with so many great characters and phenomenal music but as a single player game it gets boring pretty quickly once all the characters are unlocked.
I remember the golden age and also remember Neo Geo and it’s hyper expensive kit….how are they doing now!! Nintendo will do what Nintendo always do and they don’t care one iota about the competition. Also, as for the Steam deck, it’s just another in a long list of hardware that hasn’t met it’s launch date.

Re: Random: Logan Paul Made A Table Out Of Game Boys, And The Internet Isn't Happy
People are putting everything in those resin tables these days and this is no different than some collector hiding one away never to be seen again.
Re: Japan's Top 100 Console Games Of All Time Revealed, According To A Nationwide TV Network Poll
Very surprised to see Street Fighter 2 so low in the list, I remember when it was released on the Super Famicom the queues to buy it were immense.

Re: Crysis Remastered Has Received Its Second Switch Patch, Here Are Full Details
Brilliant games but because they’re continually patched why anyone would want to own them physically is a mystery!
Re: Hardware: Up-Switch Orion Review - Turn Your Switch Into A Switch XXXL (And Make It Worse)

One of the best games ever.
Re: Metroid Dread Crowned #1 In TIME's 'Best Games Of 2021'

The best trailer of a dreadful presentation
Re: Random: Kirby's Dream Land LEGO Ideas Set Needs More Votes To Make It To Final Round
Remember when the whole focus of Lego was alternate builds…..now they’re just expensive, buildable ornaments.

Stunt Race FX in the absolute vaguest sense

Re: Super Nintendo World's Getting Adorable Limited-Edition Holiday Merch
It’s merchandise, not ‘merch’ why does everything have to reduced to some ridiculous slang term.
Re: Deals: Nintendo Switch OLED Receives Small UK Discount With Shipping In Time For Christmas
There’s stock everywhere too which is brilliant
Re: Power Rangers' Third Season 4 Pass Character Enters The Grid Next Week
A great fighting game, possibly the best on the Switch

Bowsers Fury for me. Metroid Dread was great but I have no desire to go back to it

Call Of Juarez which I got for £7 in the current sale, it’s insanely good

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Movie Poster Revealed Ahead Of A First Look At The Game Awards
@Cosmo_Joe touched a nerve? Do you apply your rationale to O.J. Simpson?

Re: A New Smash Bros. Would Need A Smaller Roster, Admits Sakurai

@RiasGremory he used prostitutes and passed on sexual diseases to his partner! But if you think that kind of behaviour is ok………
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Movie Poster Revealed Ahead Of A First Look At The Game Awards
I just wished they’d cast anyone except Jim Carrey he’s such a despicable human being.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Now Be Purchased Separately
@JustMonika I’m the same, handheld only, never even tried it docked.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Now Be Purchased Separately
Loads of brand new white OLED docks on eBay being sold for around £75 as so many people play exclusively handheld ( myself included )
Re: Talking Point: Are Nintendo's Exclusives Enough To Win A Next-Gen Handheld War?
@Mando44646 but it’s a meaningless comment. The Steam deck can’t do what you need it to do so it’ll never replace your Switch.
Re: Talking Point: Are Nintendo's Exclusives Enough To Win A Next-Gen Handheld War?
@Mando44646 the Steam deck won’t ever play Pokemon or Fire Emblem so your statement about it replacing your Switch is completely redundant.
Re: Talking Point: Are Nintendo's Exclusives Enough To Win A Next-Gen Handheld War?

Re: Random: The Steve Aoki x Sonic Concert Is A Weird Way To Pass An Hour
Steve Aoki is an absolute genius, how he’s managed to to make so much money from such awful output is a masterclass in salesmanship.
