@Patendo Yeh, they were awesome. They should do it in more football games these days. I even did a live stream recently trying to play through the scenario modes.
@Gravitron Thanks for the advice. I don't have a lot of time to put into the game at the moment. The backlog is building. But when i return i'll give these tips a go. Thanks
I love the concept, but i just can't seem to get very good at the game. Still a lot of fun though. I just feel i let down anyone on my team when i play lol.
Still have this sealed copy on my shelf, need to get round to playing it and expect some hefty updates when i do since i assume the physical copy will have the original form on cart.
@StefanN Yeh Man. It seems a no brainer to bring it to Switch. Even if it takes a graphical and technical hit. They could manage it. EA can just be lazy though. It's a shame.
Will look cute next to the Gameboy micro. Has the GameGear / Master System library got enough games to entice Americsn audiences though. I don't think so. Not enough nostalgia there. Maybe the European and Japanese market will be enough for them.
Why the hate. The Thong song may be a tad annoying but the dude had a somewhat succesfull career solo and with Dru Hill. Could be worse, could be Who Let The Dogs Out
@Heavyarms55 they've kind of done that already with the 3DS re-releases. Minus Partners in Time. Switch ports would be nice. But after two re-releases recently. A brand new game would be nicer.
@Moroboshi876 Amazon Prime has The Video Game Years series which is a decent watch. It's more just interviews with semi famous youtubers. But its worth your time.
Just let the thing live, it's clearly not taking anything away from the Switch. They'll be no new major titles, but Nintendo could pop a few more games in its Nintendo Selects line to sell on the cheap. I'd definately pick up a few more titles if they did.
Argos were selling the flashback one for only £30 not too long ago. Would be surprised if someone like Lidl would be putting it out for anything more.
Plus a 2DS with a free built in game is dirt cheap and a great entry for young gamers. My son isn't even two yet but I can imagine in a couple of years my 3DS is the system I will start him out on. Soo many classics
I've written a list of games I still want to pick up for 3DS. None are too expensive. I think the only ones still holding their RRP prices are Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and Ultimate NES remix.
I like the look of this, but its gone for a very mid 80s micro computer vibe, where as i think maybe early 90s better animation / resolution would have been better. Nostalgia is an interesting one.
Literally the only benefit of digital over physical is lugging and changing carts over to play. The possibly sale prices on the shop. But that is rarely a decent saving on Nintendo first party games. In fact the e.shop price for Luigi's Mansion has already been beaten by some online stores selling the physical copy.
@Moroboshi876 True, but Nintendo Selects / Players choice versions of all their major titles have been re-released since the Gamecube era. But i get what you're saying.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
4 years later and this game is now dirt cheap. So may partake. May also be a stupid idea as i doubt anyone will be online to play.

Re: PES On Nintendo Switch Is "Getting Closer", Says Series Brand Manager
Konami Hyper Soccer to the NES online, and ISS (Deluxe) to SNES online would be nice. Both still fun to play.

Re: Random: Every Nintendo 64 Game Ever Released Would Fit Onto A Single Switch Cartridge
@carlos82 it's not poor. They even imply as an absolute maximum it would come to that number.

Poor Sisqo.

Re: The Poor Old Nintendo 3DS Has Sold Just 620,000 Units In The Past Nine Months
I'm really getting into collecting for 3DS right now as games are getting cheap. So it's still getting a lot of love from me.

Re: Football Game Arrives On Switch This Week, But Don't Expect To Play Much Football
Is this football as in Association Football (Soccer) or American Football? I'm guessing by the varsity jacket, the latter.

Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Link's Awakening Scores Nintendo Another Number One
