I just want Serious Sam to come back, lol. I've odered a boxed copy of the Bioshock collection for £16 in a black Friday thing. Should hold me till next year hopefully.
I've been waiting for this to come back on the eShop for some time. I want this so bad. Does anyone know how long it's going to be till it's relisted? I've tried reaching out to the devs but no reply.
I'm playing throught it now and it's not bad. Not great either, though? Anyway, what amazes me is how it still plays just like Dynasty Warriors 2 did back in the day.
This is wonderful. Hats off to them for making it a reality. I'd be up for following this and seeing the progress they make. Thank you NL, for bringing it to my attention.
I actually think time travelling ruins the game. I'd be playing the game normally and my girlfriend was TT'iing, all my friends were too. I go to their towns and then they go to mine and think I'M the n00b! B***h please, I was playing AC long before you!
I'm only being half serious. I do think it wrecks the game's spirit, though and I'll actually be bowing out of the series from here on. I'll just take my memories and leave. Hope everyone else continues to enjoy it though.
But a bit of a prediction: The next game in the series won't sell anywhere near the same numbers.
I'm not saying it's not a thing, but I don't know anyone that's hacked their Switch. Back in the day though, I knew lots of people with flash carts for the DS.
I'll echo people's sentiments above, that I'd much rather Nintendo sorted out the Joy Con drift. At least then I could play my pirated games properly. I'm just kidding!
@hakjie11 I refuse to buy any more of them. Mine are drifting, my girlfriend's drift... heck, even my pro controller drifts! Nintendo's quality isn't what it used to be that's for sure.
Bit crazy how there's a vaccine already. There's no vaccine for AIDS, for example and that has been around for a long time with LOTS of money and research put into it. Not too keen on that tbh.
I imagine most Switch owners haven't played Pikmin 1 or 2, so may be put off by jumping in on the third entry? Would be nice to have the originals on the eShop, but I just know they'd get the pricing wrong.
You've gotta hand it to them, they're killing it. Though, I can't see the momentum staying exactly where it is unless they've got some great unannounced games at the ready.
@chipia I think the problem is a mixture of the user created levels usually being of a low quality compared to Nintendo's own, but also the controls just aren't as good. The Wii U's resistive touch screen was perfect for creating levels in the game, and while the Switch can do it just fine... it's not quite as user friendly, you know?
@RainbowGazelle You're absolutely right, there's way more to Sega than Sonic. My bad, to be fair! If I were them though, I'd be giving Christian Whitehead and the gang very large sums of money to make something extra special.
I loved Puyo Tetris 1, but I can't imagine a sequel selling too well? I mean, they nailed it so well with the first game. That said, I'm sure it'll be just as good, if not better.
Streets of Rage 4 was great too.
I know it's been said a lot before but I hope they revive some more classics. Would LOVE another Jet Set Radio, but again I'm just worried they may not be able to do it justice. I'd even take ports though, ngl.
Better yet, get all their Dreamcast games up on the Switch, that should keep them going for a while.
While I'm sure all those games will be great, the list is a bit thin. Hopefully there's an awesome Direct coming in the new year with loads of suprise announcements.

This is a quick video I made showing how bad my Pro Controller drift is. I made this video before this article was even posted,
So... In your face @Donkey-Kong-Fan !

Re: Super Mario Maker Online Services To Be Terminated, Will Soon Be Removed From Sale
It is a bit sad as I think there's an argument to be made that it's better than SMM2.
Must be costing them more to keep it running than the game is making them? Perhaps they're trying to push those last few people to get a Switch?
I've got it physically anyway.

Re: GBA Mod Company Creates The Game Gear Sega Should Have Released In 2020
Looks good. I hope the poor reception of the GGmicro doesn't deter Sega from maybe making one that's worth playing someday.
Re: Defentron Brings '80s-Style 3D Tower Defence To Switch Next Month
One of my favourite genres. Is this already out on other systems? If it reviews well, I'll be grabbing it.
The Switch is lacking in TD games imo. Love Defense Grid 2, but most other TD games I've picked up (there aren't many) haven't been great.

Re: Store Your Switch Games In Style With This Animal Crossing-Themed 512GB SD Card
I've already got one that size and it cost me only about £30 during an amazon sale.
Thanks, but no thanks!
Re: Nintendo Reveals Japan's Best-Selling Switch Games Of 2020
Well, I guess it surprises nobody that Nintendo have like, 9 out of the top ten games. I hope that third party games are selling well too.

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Adds New AR Camera And Cabin Features, Free Month's Subscription Offer
How is this game actually doing? My girlfriend deleted it shortly after downloading and she's a big fan of the series.

Re: Doom Eternal For Switch Will No Longer Receive A Physical Release
On the bright side, at least I don't have to buy it now? My collector side of me wanted to get it, as I have DOOM 2016.
I'll just play it on gamepass.
Still, not cool guys. Not cool.
Re: Nintendo Drops The Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Launch Trailer Ahead Of Release
The voice acting in BOTW in general is pretty bad, but Zelda takes the cake. How is she getting MORE voice work!? Baffling.
I'm probably going to pick up this game though. Not much else to play on Switch atm is there? ...

I won't be paying to watch it, that's for sure.
Re: EA Ignores Nintendo Fans Yet Again As FIFA 21 David Beckham Freebie Skips Switch
You all make me so proud. sheds tear
Last EA game I bought was... ummm... I don't even remember. I think I recall it having a weird cartridge, though.
Re: Shadow Man Remastered Comparison Shots Show The N64 Classic In A New Light
I think it looks fantastic. I love everything these guys have done so far, and I'm very much excited to get my hands on this.
I hope they've worked some magic into how the game controls, though. I imagine they have.
But why no Turok 3? That game needed remastering more than any of the original trilogy. I'm assuming it's because it didn't sell well to begin with.
I think these guys should do Tomb Raider 1 - 3. Square won't do it, so they should pitch it to them. (please!)

As much as I love Nintendo, I hope they lose this one. Big time.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Sword And Shield Launched A Year Ago, Has Your Opinion On Them Changed?
Pokemon needs to go back to sprites.
Re: Poll: Are You Getting Any Of These New Nintendo Switch Releases?
I wouldn't say we're in a drought but there doesn't seem to be a lot of games coming that I'm interested in, unfortunately.

Re: Serious Sam Collection Arrives On Switch Next Week, eShop Listing Reveals
Never tried them but I've just finished Turok, Duke 3D and Doom '93. Hopefully this'll scratch this consistent itch I seem to have for retro shooters.

Funnily enough it kinda looks like a game you'd used to get on a Sky box.

Re: Switch Hardware Sales Reach 68.3 Million, Now Nintendo's Second Best-Selling Home Console Ever
I think the Switch will definitely outsell the 3DS, and even has a decent chance of beating the Wii.
The Switch hasn't even had a price drop yet. I can see it selling well for a couple more years, providing they've got some good software lined up.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Sold 5.21 Million Copies In Just 12 Days
What's not to like, really? It's 3 Mario games that play perfectly well.
I've got it downloaded and a sealed copy for my collection. Not going to lie though, this limited release thing really isn't cool.
Re: 20 Nintendo Switch Titles Sold Over A Million Copies Between April And September
@Waa-Laa Mario Kart 8 I think.

Re: Sega Sammy Set To Sell Majority Of Sega Entertainment
@RainbowGazelle Fair enough. I was thinking mostly Sonic tbh. I've not tried the Yakuza games, though I do hear good things.
Re: Sega Sammy Set To Sell Majority Of Sega Entertainment
While sad that their arcades are going, I'm actually all for it if it means they have to rely on making [hopefully better quality] video games.
