Reputable Nintendo websites and channels made absolute fools of themselves a couple of years ago. Maybe it'll be the 15th,maybe it won't, but nobody should buy into this or any other rumour too heavily.
Just want to point out that although Williams suffered from depression, he was deep in the throes of a rare degenerative neurological disease, and his quality of life had deteriorated significantly. He was undiagnosed until after his death. For a man like him, imagine how terrifying that must have been. Like most here, for me his death was the first celebrity death to really punch me in the chest. Often we hear "There will never be another person like xxx," and in his case it's absolutely true.
After the glut of ultimately embarrassing Pro rumours, gaming journalists should wince every time they type "rumour", and take a long hard look at whether they want to keep typing.
ConcernedApe deserves every dollar of the millions he has made from this game. It's essentially a one man operation and it often puts larger development teams to shame.
I'm all for TV tie-in games for kids and I know they'll never be BOTW quality, but the fact that these aren't the show's true voice actors raises an eyebrow. I'm not the target audience, but I suspect this bodes not well. Respect your audience.
Someone needs to get onto the whole "Who is a real gamer?" debate. I always laugh when people jump into a thread with "Oh, she/he's not a gamer, she/he just plays Animal Crossing" or whatever. Go away. If you're gonna be like that, gaming is a hobby, not a profession--it's not like someone's claiming to be a doctor. Oh, sure, there are a handful of people in the world who making their living from gaming, but you're probably not among them, so sit down.
He deserves every bit of the gazillion dollars this game has brought him. You don't need a big budget, big team, big TV and cutting edge graphics to make a fantastic game.
Holy shirtballs. Played Turrican 1 and 2 on the Commodore 64 and they remain my all-time fave games. Manfred Trenz did amazing things on that system. Can't understand why this kind of Eurostyle action platformer never really caught on. Been playing Gunlord X on the Switch, which is a fantastic Turrican sequel in all but the name, and now THIS... Aaaahh! Awesome.

Re: Switch eShop Racer 'New Star GP' Unlocks Frame Rate Ahead Of Switch 2's Launch
This is a hidden gem. Reminds me of Pitstop 2 on the C64, with light management elements and upgrades and stuff. Been playing it loads. 👍

@mrtopo Nintendo aren't the ones doing this, friendo. It's Thalamus.
Re: Commodore 64 Games Are Being Teased For Nintendo Switch
Turrican, Boulder Dash and Impossible Mission are already there.
I'd love legit remakes of Summer/Winter/World/California Games.

Cool, what do they say about the Switch Pro?
Re: The Point & Click Sale Discounts 10 Games On Switch
It's a pity Darkside Detective isn't there, that's a fab game. Bite-sized episodes, good humour, a cool tribute to The X-Files and Twin Peaks.
Re: Review: Hot Wheels Unleashed - Probably The Best Hot Wheels Game Ever
No motion controls, I gather?
Re: Hot Wheels Unleashed DLC Will Add Cars Based On Street Fighter, DC, Barbie And More
Anybody know if this is likely to have motion control support? Can't find definitive info anywhere.
Re: Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy Reportedly Heading To Switch
Instabuy for me. San Andreas was the peak in gameplay. Vice City the music and the style. 3 gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Haven't played 5. 4 was obviously graphically superior to these first 3, but I preferred the depth and gameplay of the earlier titles.
Re: Two Point Hospital Will Be Free On Nintendo Switch Online Next Week
Why do commenters ask questions that can be answered if they would just read the damned article?

Enough already.
