There's a few FMV games from my childhood that I like for nostalgic reasons (Sewer Shark, Night Trap, Road Avenger)... but they were even a bit crappy back then.
Unfortunately when I see live action in a video game (besides Resi 1) I am instantly turned off.
A shame. I remember this game getting a lot of attention back when it was being crowd funded. Maybe people will learn to just wait till projects finish until they part with their cash.
The game feels really empty compared to New Leaf. Where are all the shops? Please tell me Tortimer is somewhere to be unlocked. It's very pretty, but majorly lacking imo. I'm 100 hours in and I fear I've unlocked everything. Oh and where have the bananas and stuff gone? Seriously?
Returning players would do well to wait and see if this stuff gets added later if you ask me.

Re: Yes, Sega's "Revolutionary" Announcement Is To Use Its Arcades As Cloud Gaming Data Centers
Honestly I would have been more excited if the announcement was that they've paid for the rights to Sonic 3's music.
Don't mean to be cynical but this seems really uninteresting. To me at least.
Re: All Resident Evil Games Discounted On Nintendo Switch, Get Up To 60% Off
I echo the sentiments that these video games are indeed priced way above an agreeable level.
Ahhh.. I'll buy it at a high price, or not at all apparently!
Honestly though, I might get 5 for £15. Seems reasonable for a handheld game.
Re: Have You Spotted The Switch eShop's New Sales Filter?
'Sale ending soonest' would be good too?
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Holds Strong While Mario Kart 8 Zips Past Call Of Duty
Who else remembers what things were like during the 3DS/Wii U era? Never thought I'd see this.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 1.2.1 Patch Notes - Fixes Some Bugs
I spent about 600 hours on New Leaf, and about 200 on Horizons.
Unfortunately I'm a bit bored of it now. Hoped it would spark that love that I once had but meh.
Re: Sega Is "Really Excited" About Sonic's Future, But Can't Reveal Anything Right Now
I've heard it's gonna be Generations 2 which would be alright. Safe bet.
Mania 2 with completely new levels (not relying on the classics) would be awesome.
Adventure 3 would be epic but I don't believe they have the talent available to pull it off.
But what I'd really want is (obviously not going to happen) is the original trilogy remade in HD. (Like that Sonic 2 HD mod that never happened)
Heck, I'd take a straight port of Sonic 3. That's not going to happen either though.
Fully expecting something along the lines of Sonic Forces. yawn
Re: Reminder: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Museum Day Stamp Rally Event Starts Today
Was there any bloody point to this event, really?
Re: Review: Ion Fury - Hail To The Queen, The Old-School FPS Is Reborn
Duke 3D is one of my favourite shooters.
Any word on if that's coming?
Re: Paper Mario's Switch Reveal Adds More Weight To 64, Sunshine, Galaxy Remaster Reports
Would literally do anything for 64.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th May (Europe)
Ion Fury. Hell yeah!
Re: Bandai Namco Kicks Off Another Huge Nintendo Switch Sale, Up To 80% Off (North America)
Damn, what would Bandai do without their anime license?
Re: Rumour: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Reportedly In The Works For Nintendo Switch
Pikmin 3 would be day 1 for me!
...and 4
Re: Feature: Sam Barlow On Bringing Telling Lies To Switch, His Directing Style, And His Next Project
There's a few FMV games from my childhood that I like for nostalgic reasons (Sewer Shark, Night Trap, Road Avenger)... but they were even a bit crappy back then.
Unfortunately when I see live action in a video game (besides Resi 1) I am instantly turned off.
Re: Former Nintendo Of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé Joins Spin Master's Board Of Directors
So basically his 'retirement' was a way to avoid the hate from Nintendo fans? He clearly hasn't retired.
Either way, this barely Nintendo related.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th May (Europe)
I want Ion Fury but £25 seems a bit steep.
Re: Sonic Ditches Mario In His Very Own Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Release
Why don't they just change the name to 2021?
Re: Minecraft Dungeons Was Originally Considered For 3DS And Inspired By Zelda
No online sorta kills it for me. Especially in this lockdown.
Re: Skater XL Comes To Switch This Summer With Plenty Of Top Brand Apparel And Boards
If it plays like well and reviews well, maybe. Hopefully it plays something like Skate.
Re: EA Play Live Goes Digital This June - Expect World Premieres, News And Much More
PVZ, mass effect and dead space. That is all I care about from them.
Even then I'd be paying reluctantly.
Re: N64 Star Wars Title Shadows Of The Empire Is Getting A Soundtrack Release
I know it's aged a bit but it's still my favourite SW game. I'd love for it to come to Switch.
I recall most of the music being sampled from the movies anyway?
But saying that, I was trying to find a song from this game a couple years back and it was very hard to find, so this is most welcome.
Re: Random: Animal Crossing Players Are Getting In Trouble On Facebook For Talking About Weeds
Just delete Facebook. Sorted.
Re: Tony Hawk's Rumoured 2020 Video Game Is Sounding Increasingly Likely To Be Real
I'd settle for 1-4 HD on Switch. A brand new game would require a lot of effort and a talented team. I'd be waiting on reviews, obviously.
Re: Review: Battle Princess Madelyn Royal Edition - One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
A shame. I remember this game getting a lot of attention back when it was being crowd funded. Maybe people will learn to just wait till projects finish until they part with their cash.
Re: Random: Switch Fans React To EA's Partnership With Google Stadia
Because EA actively want Nintendo to fail, like they did Sega. Have done for many years.
It doesn't take a genius to see that EA see themselves as a make or break on a system. Nintendo have proved them wrong.
I hope EA and Google go out of business. I for one will never buy their games nor use their search engine.
Re: 3D Realms' Ion Fury Brings Old-School FPS To Switch Next Month
This is really good news. But where the heck is Duke? Wasn't it rated like well over a year ago? Please tell me there's news about Duke 3D??
Re: English Gamers Are The Best At Mario Kart, New Study Says
Canada... best at Ecco the Dolphin? They still playing Mega Drive over there? Lol
Re: 2K Reveals WWE 2K Battlegrounds, A Brand New Arcade-Style Game
Those models look... awkward, to put it nicely.
Re: Fancy Splurging $300 On A SpongeBob Game? You're In Luck
Stop ripping off your fans you evil gits.
Re: A Cool Animal Crossing: New Leaf Feature Might Be Coming To New Horizons
Dream Suite kinda sucks tbh.
Give us Brewster, Swimming, and Tortimer (and the mini games he comes with)
Re: The Pokémon Company Apologises For Featuring Dewgong In The Fourth Episode Of Twilight Wings
This means that, in the future they're likely to forgo putting Pokemon in things if they're not in the current game. That's kinda lame.
But it doesn't matter much to me. I'm a Gen 1er!!1
Re: Random: Nintendo Says Streets Of Rage 4 Is Out On Switch, But It Definitely Isn't
Doesn't look very good imo. Which is a shame. I loved this classic series back in the 90s.
Re: Lack Of Switch Stock In Japan Is Driving Up The Value Of Animal Crossing: New Leaf
As a returning player, NH may feel quite bare bones.
That said, I'm about 150 hours in now and last night I booted up New Leaf to copy my town song.
The music in NL is much better imo, but not being able to pick/place things in your town is a major bummer.
Both games are great.
Re: Get Two Classic Mario Game Boy Games For Less Than £5 With My Nintendo (Europe)
This scheme had so much potential. I doubt there are many people logging on to get those points these days.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons: How To Catch Ants
Ahhh thanks. I have had a cherry on the floor for about 2 weeks now and wondered why it wasn't working.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Wisp - How To Catch Spirit Pieces And Wisp's New Or Expensive Reward Explained
@LetsGoSwitch not sure on exact time but I've had him twice, about 8-10pm
Re: Review: Totally Reliable Delivery Service - Return To Sender
The real question is: how does it compare to Human Fall Flat?
Re: Pokémon Rumble Rush To Shut Down This Summer, Just One Year Since Launch
Mobile gamers don't strike me as the sentimental type. One less mobile game isn't really a bad thing anyway.
Re: Super-Rare And Supersized Pre-Nintendo Game & Watch Goes Up For Auction
This belongs in a museum.
Re: Theme Park Simulator Brings The Fun Of The Fair To Switch This Week
My gf loves these types of games but could identify this game sucks based on its eShop trailer.
You don't get to build anything. It's not even as impressive as some of the FPS modes in her tycoon games.
Re: Random: This Tiny Update Would Make A World Of Difference In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Crafting lamps and town fixtures is great.
Crafting tools is frustrating and boring.
Sort it out, Ninty.
Even my gold slingshot broke. Why bother?
Re: Poll: Does Resident Evil 4 Really Need The REmake Treatment?
Honestly, and I know I'll get hate for this but REmake 2 & 3 suck. Go back to the original gameplay or eff off.
Re: Guide: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Earth Day Event - Prepare For Leif The Sloth And Nature Day In April's Next Free Update
They need to make one Manila clam craft at least x10 bait, completely cut out the crafting animation.
The game feels a bit rushed imo.
If this event is anything like the last one, I may have to just quit the game. Life is too short.
Re: Aspyr Rolls Out Fix For Cross-Play Loophole In Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy On Switch
How is taking out cross play 'improving the experience'?
Re: Yooka-Laylee Is Now Three Years Old
I like Y-L but I couldn't help comparing it unfavourably to B-K. I commend the efforts though. B-K probably had more people working on it.
Re: Reminder: Animal Crossing: New Horizon's Fishing Tourney Starts Today
@Cynas thanks man!
Re: Reminder: Animal Crossing: New Horizon's Fishing Tourney Starts Today
I hate to say it but New Horizons just isn't as fun as New Leaf.
Where's all the content?
I just spent hours getting the gold fishing trophy and still didn't get all the gear. It's an exercise in pure frustration.
And the music is completely forgettable.
Re: Review: Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories - A Totally Unique Experience Marred By Technical Problems
After playing the demo I can only conclude that the game is a disaster.
The game looks nice in pictures but runs horribly... But worst of all... you walk at a snails pace.
Jeez, life's too short. And why the heck is it like £53 on the eShop? Honestly? What a massive rip off.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Villager Potentially Leaks Museum Art Gallery Update
@biglittlejake I've already got them all thanks mate. I just mean there're more fruit in New Leaf.

Looks just like Human Fall Flat. Sign me right up!
