I'm so tempted just for curiosities sake (and the nostalgia over being around when it was released) , but I know if I do I will probably only ever play 3 games and that'll be it for ever....
@GrailUK HD San Francisco Rush?!!!! even longer draw distance, nicer sun sets... maybe even make it Rush 2 so that I can go loop-the-loop around Alcatraz...!!!!! Would love some 3dfx goodness... Even Hydro thunder, off road, mace....
Well being an old man in his 40's that grew up with some of these games (Last Ninja) and still remembers their amazing C64 sound track (The Wilderness), as well as other System 3 games... I'm very excited!
Was a big fan of Boulder Dash on C64 that was literally a lifetime ago!) But have never bought a re-make as the price has always been far too high for what they've been... fingers crossed they don't get silly on this one...
I mean I'll probably pick this up, but is it too much to have a 90's inspired racer that isn't cartoony? I want Scud Racer, Daytona, Ridge Racer style visuals.... 90's Arcade Racer was looking good all those years ago
I never thought this looked very well implemented... the Chrome plating N64s that you could get back in the day looked better. This looks a bit rough round the edges - especially as the buttons are untouched plastic stick out like sore thumb!
This may sound like a dumb questions... PS games they are emulated with all the nasty texture warp... why don't they just remove this? Keep everything else the same - just add a little bit of polish....
My joy-con has finally given up the ghost after years of me having to clean the contacts every few weeks to stop drift (why do the joy cons have a 'hood' under the sticks in the first place?), so I took the plunge and bought a pro controller.... I can't believe how poor the joy-cons are in comparison! There is such a small amount of distance between the stick being centred to when you pull all the way in one direction - to the point a joy con now feels like a digital controller. And the D pad itself is a wonderful return over just buttons.
I feel like i'm in a minority that likes it when Nintendo releases the less perhaps 'main-stream' games like these. Don't get me wrong, I love Banjo Kazooie, Mario, Goldeneye etc but I never got to play games like Extreme G, or Iggy's Wreckin' ball the first time around (or Jet Force Gemini or Winback, or Sin and Punishment or Harvest Moon or......), so these are great for me to finally play after read them in N64 magazine a lifetime ago...
3 words that fill me with dread.... 'Turn Based Combat'. I have said it before, but I wish I enjoyed that mechanic as I know I have missed out on a lot of great games. This game was sounding perfect to me, but at the back of mind I knew there was a reason I ignored this game after the reveal. I thought it might have been procedurally generated but alas no...
In my eyes Spotify, Amazon Prime and Netflix work for me as I pay (relatively) little for a huge selection of music, TV, films, podcasts etc. However, I can't afford anymore streaming services outside of these; however, I still also buy CD'S/Vinyl and DVDs for things that mean something to me. So for games to work in a similar fashion a lot of the publishers would have to work together or I will be missing out a lot!!
I really wish I got on with turn based combat-it's just never clicked with me. I just attack attack attack and I don't get it... anyone got any suggestions for a good first stepping stone into the genre?
'....in terms of quality of gameplay and content'. Of course it can!! It can't make the graphics look as nice, but the gameplay would be there as would the content. Look at Wii port of Call of Duty - the graphics were obviously stripped back, but the gameplay was spot on. CMA are clueless.
I don't see the problem. Nintendo strikes a video containing their existing IP - that someone else is money making from. Regardless of what Joe Public thinks, this is all Nintendo property and for theirs to do (and protect) how they see fit.
Although the angle of the video (I think - from memory) might be these are old ideas that never came to fruition, Nintendo may think differently and have ideas up their sleeves for the future...
I don't see what the issue with Chris Pratt is!! He sounds really good in my opinion, and clearly they needed someone who has acted in feature films as opposed to voice ovwe work. Also I might be showing my age here, but people should be greatful that Bob Hoskins isn't playing Mario. Go watch that Mario film!

Re: Talking Point: Would You Want To Reuse Your Joy-Con On 'Switch 2'?
My joy-con has finally given up the ghost after years of me having to clean the contacts every few weeks to stop drift (why do the joy cons have a 'hood' under the sticks in the first place?), so I took the plunge and bought a pro controller.... I can't believe how poor the joy-cons are in comparison! There is such a small amount of distance between the stick being centred to when you pull all the way in one direction - to the point a joy con now feels like a digital controller. And the D pad itself is a wonderful return over just buttons.
So they do really need to be upgraded!
