I stared at the Japan boxart for a while before I voted for it. I couldn't decide if it was fun or derpy. I eventually decided it was ok and interesting. Otherwise it would have been that lovely black marble European box
Europe. That style is very reminiscent of the time. You could use that for an action movie title. The Japan one is forgettable. And the US one... just no.
Not surprised Japan is winning this one. I am surprised the US version is second though. Look at that hideous bit of the black border sticking out! All wrong.
There are garbage levels. But there's also more quality levels then you could play in a life time, so, if you like just playing levels, it's still a great investment.
Not sure this statement is helping the situation. While I think there is a lot of mountains being made out of diglett hills here, and possibly some translation issues, it probably would have been better to just not mention the character models.
I honestly think most of the debate comes from people's different opinions over what constitutes "new".
"Rebuilt, but based off the old" "New and different " "Enhanced " "Added to"
All these could be classed as "Not the same" but some people's expectations don't match reality.
I'm trying something similar. It's fun but a lot more effort than you first imagine. I've got my first 7 done. Something to string all these levels together to make Worlds would be great.
@UnbreakableAlex Looks good. I might give it a go to see if it's as easy as they say. I'd still be interested to see if Nintendo could create an interface as simple as the Mario Maker one.
@Silly_G Fair point. They were already spending money on some of the things I listed anyway. But they'd still have to research and write a script for the voice actress.
I still think they're looking to save a bit of money by not bringing Palutena's actress back in another 5 times.
@Silly_G and a team to record it. And writer's and researchers for the lines. Extra programming too. It's really not as easy or cheap as you think. And it's such a small thing that the majority of players will miss so it's just not worth it.
Nintendo, or any other publisher, would be mad not to release their digital sales for this combined list. Especially when the UK market is 80% digital. Imagine only 20% of your games being counted while everyone else has 100%. You'd never make the top 10 again.
One of my favourite games ever! As much as I'd like a remake, I don't think we can trust Sega not too f it up. Heck, you only have to look at the ports of SA1 over the years. Every single one has been worse than the previous, including DX. If they can't even handle a port, they certainly can't handle a full remake.
Sega's Christmas present to us all should be a promise to keep embracing this version of the Sonic universe. Make stuff like Sonic Forces and Sonic Boom if they must but don't neglect Classic Sonic!
@LetsGoSwitch Quite the opposite. It's been getting more popular ever since the social elements were added. Ironically, if the friends and trading hadn't been added, he wouldn't have been able to do this.

It was fun! Like Pokemon should be. Grumps in the comments section should lighten up.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #7 - Star Fox
All a bit grim, but I think Japan wins this time.

Re: Honk! Untitled Goose Game Finally Has A Release Date On Switch
Honk Zelda. I'm honking getting this instead.
Re: Review: Grandia HD Collection - Two Classic Games, Shoddily Remastered
Shame. Grandia is an epic game and I was looking forward to playing Grandia 2 for the first time. I'll probably get it anyway at some point.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #5 - Super Mario Kart
Not surprised Japan is winning this one. I am surprised the US version is second though. Look at that hideous bit of the black border sticking out! All wrong.

Man, it's going to be a while before I get Jirachi. I'm a bit of a solo player.

Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
Oh and the rubber on my original 3DS analogue stick came off ages ago but still works fine.
Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
I had the broken DS Lite hinge and a GameCube that stopped reading discs. Both got a lot of use though so not that surprised.
Re: There Are Now More Than 5 Million Courses In Super Mario Maker 2
Here's one of my levels!

I have about 8. Feedback is always appreciated ^_^

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo DS Games
Great top 50. Well done everyone!
Re: Decade-Old DS Game Dragon Quest V Re-Entered The Japanese Charts This Week
DQV is an amazing game. Not just my favourite DQ game, but one of my favourite RPGs.
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Players Have Already Uploaded More Than 4 Million Courses
@60frames-please Everyone seems to like Slip n Munch Thanks for playing!
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Players Have Already Uploaded More Than 4 Million Courses
There are garbage levels, but there's also a hell of a lot of good courses from some very creative people. More than anyone could ever play.
Here's my Maker ID: VDS-MLS-Q4G
I don't put up garbage IMO. I try to make proper levels. Any feedback is great
Re: Soapbox: Should I Wait For Switch 'Pro' Or Is The 'New' Switch SKU Worth An Upgrade?
People with money to burn 😒 Wait for a proper updated console, unless your old Switch is falling to bits
Re: Game Freak Isn't Reusing 3DS Models In Pokémon Sword and Shield
Not sure this statement is helping the situation. While I think there is a lot of mountains being made out of diglett hills here, and possibly some translation issues, it probably would have been better to just not mention the character models.

Re: This Super Mario Maker 2 Player Has Already Created A Full 32-Course Game
I'm trying something similar. It's fun but a lot more effort than you first imagine. I've got my first 7 done. Something to string all these levels together to make Worlds would be great.
Re: More Than 52,000 People Voted For Their Favourite Pokémon, Here Are The Results
I voted for Missingno
Re: The Grandia HD Collection Is "Coming Soon" To Nintendo Switch
Grandia was a great game. Never played the second so might pick this up
Re: Get Pokémon Sword And Shield For Less With Nintendo's Money-Saving Switch Voucher Deal
Still £42 though. Majority of new releases can be found cheaper than that.
Re: The First Ever Digital UK Chart Shows A Surprising Top Ten
UNO and Monopoly are incredibly popular and well known games and are sold at a bargain price. Nobody should be that surprised.
Re: Video: 10 Things We Still Don't Know For Certain About Super Mario Maker 2
@ShoryukenKid This! I want to be able to put my stages down on a world map to be beaten in an order.
Re: WWE 2K Dev Not Happy With Recent Games, Will Create New Wrestling IP To Re-Energise Staff
Finally! We've needed a less realistic wrestling game for years. Arcade mode all the way!
Re: These Custom Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tracks Have Us Dreaming Of A Future Track Creator
@UnbreakableAlex Looks good. I might give it a go to see if it's as easy as they say. I'd still be interested to see if Nintendo could create an interface as simple as the Mario Maker one.
Re: These Custom Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tracks Have Us Dreaming Of A Future Track Creator
I would LOVE a Mario Kart Maker. And a Pokemon World Maker too
Re: In-Store Flyer Reveals More Super Mario Maker 2 Details
Probably my most anticipated game! Can't wait

Nice to see these Wii U games getting some love
Re: Snooker 19 Pots A Spring Release On Switch, New Details And Trailer Shared
So pleased to see some snooker love on consoles and here in the comments I wonder if they'll release this when the World Championships is on in April?
Re: Feature: Reggie's Video Highlights From 15 Years At The Top Of Nintendo
Bye Reggie! I never learnt how to pronounce your name, but thanks for the memories.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighters Won't Receive Custom Palutena's Guidance Sequences
@Silly_G Fair point. They were already spending money on some of the things I listed anyway. But they'd still have to research and write a script for the voice actress.
I still think they're looking to save a bit of money by not bringing Palutena's actress back in another 5 times.
And yeah, the DLC is pricey!

Re: Doctor Eggman, Metal Sonic And Zavok Join Team Sonic Racing
Still doesn't look anywhere near as good as either of the All Star Racing games.
Re: UK Charts: Smash Bros. Ultimate And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Keep A Firm Grip On The Top Ten
Nintendo, or any other publisher, would be mad not to release their digital sales for this combined list. Especially when the UK market is 80% digital. Imagine only 20% of your games being counted while everyone else has 100%. You'd never make the top 10 again.
Re: Feature: 30 Third-Party Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2019
How about making encouraging developers to make new games? Expensive, inferior ports won't sell systems.
Re: Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka Wants To Remake Sonic Adventure
One of my favourite games ever! As much as I'd like a remake, I don't think we can trust Sega not too f it up. Heck, you only have to look at the ports of SA1 over the years. Every single one has been worse than the previous, including DX. If they can't even handle a port, they certainly can't handle a full remake.
Re: Feature: Reader's Choice Game Of The Year 2018 Results
The trouble with all GOTY lists is people have short memories and end up voting for whatever big release came out in November/December.
Re: Video: Sonic Mania Adventures Animation Returns For A Holiday Special
Sega's Christmas present to us all should be a promise to keep embracing this version of the Sonic universe. Make stuff like Sonic Forces and Sonic Boom if they must but don't neglect Classic Sonic!
Re: Feature: Digital vs Physical - What Is Your Preference for Nintendo Switch?
Physical. Smash Bros on the eshop for £60? Jog on!
People who buy only digital and have somehow filled up a massive SD card... how much money do you have!?
Re: Guide: Every Nintendo Console Ranked From Worst To Best
Wow. It's rare to come across a list I totally disagree with ;P
Re: It Looks Like Pokémon GO Is Finally About To Get Player vs Player Battles
I've never wanted pvp so not bothered. I just want to CATCH EM ALL!
But a lot of people did want it so let's hope they're finally happy.

How long have we been waiting for PSO2?
Re: Generation 4 Pokémon Officially Confirmed For Pokémon GO, Coming "Soon"
Woop woop! As a collector, this news pleases me
Re: Top Pokémon GO Player Has Account Suspended For Violating Terms Of Service
@LetsGoSwitch Quite the opposite. It's been getting more popular ever since the social elements were added. Ironically, if the friends and trading hadn't been added, he wouldn't have been able to do this.
Re: Guide: Where To Buy The Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee Switch Console Bundle
Grr! This is bull! The whole point of a bundle is getting the console with a discounted game. This isn't a good deal.
Re: Random: Reggie Sparks Metroid Game Awards Reveal Rumours With Tasteful Choice Of Shirt
Chang the name to Metroid Dread! The Prime trilogy is done.
Re: Random: Pokémon Go's 'Nut Pokémon' Has Been Causing Mayhem Among Players
