I looked up Canada pricing..... $630+tax so like $715 without a game. Look up the price of games $128+tax so $145..... .... .......$860 for the console and 1 game all in. That is insanity, Nintendo may as well just pull out of the Canadian market at those prices.
Can't wait to play this remake I was late to the original due to being from Europe, we never got it untill Wii virtual console. Funnily enough it's actually the inspiration(And also sonic 3D) for the latest game I'm working on!
@mattitudemf so here's the really funny thing though with the word British - the Scots, the English, the Welsh and the Irish are all technically just as "British" as each other. Because Britain actually refers to the 2 land masses (the British isles) that make up the UK and Ireland.
England, Scotland, Wales = "Great Britain" (just the one big island)
England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland = "United Kingdom" (countries under administrative control of the crown)
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland & republic of Ireland = "The British isles" (both of the islands)
I find when most North Americans say "British" they actually mean "English".
But I understand that none of this info about 2 tiny islands is even remotely important to people who live on the otherside of the planet. I knew basically nothing of the cultural intricacies of North America outside Hollywood movies before I moved here 😅
@mattitudemf he's saying he gets frustrated that North Americans in general think of the UK as a collection of 4 "states" when in fact they are actually individual countries in a union together so it's like saying "European accent" rather than German or Italian. The Scots are very protective of there country, probably because the English have consistently tried to purge and erase their entire culture and language over the centuries. So you know he's passionate about defending Scotland - maybe abit too much on a gaming website but you know 🤷
@Clyde_Radcliffe 100%, American voices in Japanese games that have been "localised" is a pet peeve of mine. I really wish they would cast British voice actors for the UK release!
@Ooyah Thanks anyway! Just been watching someone doing a let's play of it! 31 years later and all the memories are flooding back of watching my older brother play it!
@coversnail you are my absolute hero! I watched a YouTube vid and the memory's just came flooding back! Literally spent a quarter of a century trying to figure out what game this was! All my Amiga games were bootleg rips my uncle copied from the video game store he worked at. So they were all blank floppys with no box art etc.
I had an Amiga 500 demo disk with a game on it where you could use the toilet. If you did it would cut to a scene of a volcano? I think? 🤔 that would then have poo fly out of the top of it with accompanying fart noises.... Thought it was absolutely hilarious as a kid. Never been able to find out what it was called or who made it though.
@Wilforce exactly I was so hyped for some online shoot outs like in the 360 days. Then found out it has no online multiplayer and swiftly lost interest.
It's really bizarre they have removed the online multiplayer? That was literally the best part of Red Dead Redemption on 360. If they add the multiplayer back in then I'd buy it, but as it is it's a no from me.
I was ready and willing to pay $80ca for it if it had featured online multiplayer like in the 360 days. At the moment I'll probably just give it a miss I think.
@JohnnyMind thank you so much! Hopefully you will get some time soon! It's not a massive game so will only take about an hour for some one familia with NES style platformers to whiz through to the end - although each level has multiple paths and secrets that you can go find for replay value.
@B_Lindz unfortunately not, the only other version I have is an android version, but it has less content and has more of a Game Gear feel to it than NES. It's on the play store as "Super Dinoblasters GG"
Thanks! @FishyS, I've got lots of ideas for my next project that's alot bigger in scope and content! So I'm just hoping I can get enough sales on SDB to be able to fund it! 🤞
Obviously I think everyone should go play "Super Dinoblasters" - released on the eshop in July, only $2.99! Go on get it......... Please...... I'm so hungry 😅
Oh no! What are we all going to play this week now???? I know! why not download "Super Dinoblasters" instead...... Go on it's only $2.99 on the Nintendo eshop!
I'm a massive samba Di amigo fan since I first played it in Sega Park! But that new "roadman" outfit they put him in is really putting me off 😕 Let's hope the classic outfit is still an option in the game.
Would have loved a mania 2, Sega could have given the team free reign over the entire game to see what innovative gameplay / levels they could have come up with.
@AmplifyMJ I actually hadn't voted in the poll 😱 that means someone is actually playing my game! Just need another 2% of the vote to break into the top 3 poll tier.....
Me and all the "KOOL KiDZ" are playing "Super Dinoblasters" - this is in no way a shameless plug for my 1st ever Nintendo Switch eshop game that released yesterday 👀
@TheSovryn I think most people's reasoning for wanting physical is so in 20 years time when their switch dies and the online stores are shut down. They can simply get a 2nd hand switch and still play all there games simply by clicking the cartridge in. I did this with my N64 the console gave up the ghost but I still had all my games! 😄

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Priced At $449.99 For The Base Console
@PushMyGran86 it's $715 for the console and games will be priced at $145 in Canada. That is a ridiculous price point to be at. No one is paying that.

Re: Memory Pak: Making Contact With The "Ungoogleable" Game I Couldn't Quite Remember
@Ooyah will have to check that out! We did have a c64 but I was too young to remember it really, we got the A500 in around 88/89 I think?

Re: Feature: Nintendo eShop Selects - July 2023
@Nintendencies well I do have a cat but perhaps she's not quite exotic enough? 🤔
@Toshiro_Baloney oh! thankyou very much, I hope you enjoy playing Super Dinoblasters!
Re: Feature: Nintendo eShop Selects - July 2023
@Nintendencies I'm just that poor, I can't afford not to shamelessly plug my game at any and every opportunity 😅.

Kiwi 64 and Toree are great and all but don't forget to show some love for Beeny too, it's a great game and acts as a prequel for Kiwi 64!
