A month ago this happened to me. Ordered sonic origins, and someone had been in it and stole the cart. They had carefully peeled the wrapping to extract it. I noticed straight away to be fair.
Amazon sent another copy out the next day. So I now have 2 boxes and one cart between them.
Back in the 90s. When you had to make do with ***** and improvise.
Kids have no idea, how hard it was to create something, or research something without the Internet.
If you wanted to make something, you were on your own.
I remember making a ship out of some planks of wood and a hammer and nails. And carving that sob, with a knife.
It looked like absolute trash. But it was my trash and i made it.
So much information now, free and available for everyone to research and enjoy.
We truly live on a golden era in terms of that.
I tried to make judge dredds helmet out of paper machete. Again looked awful, but when your 8 and your going off comics instead of Internet videos. You made do.

Devil's Third.
Please bring it to Switch 🙏
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November 2022
So what the f is actually happening with Bayonetta 3 ?
Is it a Nintendo shop exclusive ? Or not ?
This has a Sega mess up written all over it 😄
Re: 2D Co-Op Platformer Disney Illusion Island Announced Exclusively For Switch
Crazy as I was literally refreshing on the Illusion series earlier on.
This is a pleasant coincidence.
Re: Chibi-Robo Director Doesn't Think Skip Ltd Will Release Another Entry In The Series

I would say Skip are done.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap
I hope one day we can play this on Switch.
I had a GBA, but I made the mistake of not picking it up back then.
Re: GAME's 'Home Arcade' Range Lets You Build The Arcade Of Your Dreams
@Zenszulu Awful company, they were refusing to pay my mates during lockdowns, literally held out for ages until their hand was forced.
Such a shame the last physical retailer is a clinical mess that charges only top prices.
Gamestation was so much better, and Electronics Boutique before Game.
Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 2 - Harmless Fun, But More "B-Side Filler"
Yeah... I'm somewhat enjoying them myself.
Do you ever think people are expecting too much from DLC ?
Mario Kart 9 is what they are really working on behind closed doors anyways.
Re: Soapbox: All I Want From Mario Kart 8's DLC Is More Tracks Like Baby Park
Baby Park was such an average overated track.
Double Dash had a handfuls of tracks superior to it.
I appreciate people's opinions, but the so called greatness of that track is greatly exaggerated.
Re: Best Switch Games For Short Play Sessions
I really appreciate the sentiment of this.
Like a lot of people, I work some pretty long hours.
And I just don't have the time to invest time in mammoth length games anymore.

Is it Jon St John though?
Re: Duke Nukem Is Getting A Movie From Legendary & The Creators Of 'Cobra Kai'
I can remember them talking about this movie when I was 8 in magazines.
I'm 31 now.
I'm all for it, but I will believe it when I see it.
I would rather have a new game at this point.

Re: Poll: Budget Line Box Art - Is It 'Fine', Or A Sin Against All That Is Good And Pure?
I actually liked the Origibal Xbox budget line boxes.
Of course preferred the originals, but it was nice to be a bit different.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
Can't say I'm interested in a revision.
A new console yes, but another Switch, nah.
Re: Playtonic Celebrates 5 Years of Yooka-Laylee, Teases Some "Surprises"
Still raging it didn't come to Wii U.
I had pledged and everything for that reason.
Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?
Actually great but I've a played mine undocked maybe twice.
That helps, but I do really try to look after my stuff.
Re: Potential Switch Port Round-Up - The Wii U Games That Haven't Come To Switch
Sonic and Devils Third again please
Re: Review: PowerSlave Exhumed - An Old-School FPS That's Absolutely Worth Digging Up
Loved this, but if its not on physical, no sale.
Re: Microsoft Wants Call Of Duty On Switch, Along With Other "Popular" Activision Blizzard Games
Call of Duty Mushroom Kingdom
Weapons like Fludd, Koopas wand and mushroom slingshots and stuff?
A Warppipe Red Shell Launcher ?
Would be a laugh to be honest.
Sieging Peaches Castle, or storming the beaches of Isle Delfino
Re: SEGA Wants Sonic Frontiers To Take The Franchise To 'The Next Level'
@MiyamotoHimself Looking forward to it 🙂
Re: SEGA Wants Sonic Frontiers To Take The Franchise To 'The Next Level'
If anyone from Nintendo is reading this.
An open world Donkey Kong game please ?
With Jungles, Caves and Icy Mountains to explore.
Cheers.
Re: Random: Logan Paul Paid $3.5 Million For Fake Pokémon Trading Cards
Meanwhile kids starve worldwide penniless...
But too bad someone blew $3.5 million on some cards.
Which turned out to be fake.

Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Officially The Worst Switch Game Of 2021, According To Metacritic
It's not even a bad game.
It's just middle of the road OK.
Some good ideas, just not executed well.
Re: Random: This Guy Has Been Mining Out An Entire Minecraft World For 4 Years, And He's Almost Finished
You know what, fair play.
Do whatever makes you feel happy in life.
Re: Gallery: Here Are Six New Screenshots Of Sonic Frontiers, Coming To Nintendo Switch Holiday 2022
This game is going to play horrible on Switch.
Sonic Teams efforts on Switch ports are poor to begin with.
I love Switch, yet technically it is very long in the tooth these days.
Re: The Game Awards Will Feature A 'League Of Legends' Musical Performance By Sting
This is imposter Sting.
He should settle it in the ring with the real Sting, in a fields of gold match.
Re: Poll: The Hype For Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Is High, Is It In Your Switch Plans?
I'll be getting it for xbox series X.
Just to avoid performance issues with Switch.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 16th)
I don't say it lightly, but Metroid Dread is tremendous.
Finally feel like we got the Metroid game we deserved.
Hats off to everyone who worked on that game, as its truly something special.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?
@Chibi_Manny game pass is £10.99 a month.
But it makes Nintendo's online offering look like a turd sandwich.
Having a series x, the game pass has been a literal game changer.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?
I love Nintendo.
But they are not consumer friendly, love to mess fans around, build hopes up and dash them.
And most of all rip them off.
Wish they could be more like Microsoft in how they look after fans.
It's like come on Nintendo, your online service has been terrible until now.
And now it's getting good, you want to rip us off.
It's not good business.
All those games should be free.
Or just bring the Virtual Console back, and let us actually buy stuff, and have decent games selections.
Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
It should be free as the service has been crap until now.
Re: Soapbox: Paper Mario: TTYD Is 17 Years Old Today, But It's Still A Masterpiece
This game was truly something special.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
Should of been Big Chungus
Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Iwata would be class.
Or a wild card, Ivan from Devil's Third
Re: Former Mario Movie Star John Leguizamo Isn't Happy With The Casting On The New Film

Re: Nintendo's Official Online Magazine Gets Treated To A Summer 2021 Edition

Would love to see these in English, even if it is just digital.
Re: The Designer Of The NES And SNES Has Retired From Nintendo After Almost 40 Years
Both classic designs.
NES still looks great to this day.
Re: Random: This Vintage Metroid Cosplay Is Terrible, And We Absolutely Love It
Would be great if we could track this guy down.
Sort of like that fat kid who was at all the WWF live shows in the audience.
That pudding bowl hair cut is eternal.
