Is this game really a 9? They have been sponsoring NL via adverts for a while now.. 🤣

I am tempted to give it a go, is it really worth it?

£6.25 postage seems a little steep?

A little behind the curve on this one NL!? They've been on the website for a week or more now.

NL late to the party and all links are out of stock..

£30.99.. (+point discount if you have some)

To be fair this should be £14.99-19.99 max.

Nothing to see here.. surprise, surprise.. triple the tech and graphics & FPS will improve.

Either way a fantastic game with an awesome graphical style.

If you've not tried this game yet.. please do so, as you are missing out!!

Looks like it could be fun and minimal risk for a few quid.

1998 is calling for its handy boy back.

@YessMasster i did say it would be a nice option to have (so I'm not against the idea), but as I say it's not essential to any gaming machine.

Yes Netflix on the switch would be a nice option, but it is not essential to a games machine. Plus we all have many other Netflix capable devices.

I'll buy it as a bundle.. £14.99 sounds about right for the game + dead console.

Amazon have delayed my delivery four times now, so I think stock shortages in the UK!?

Regardless I think it will be a fun addition to the switch experience.

Still no switch footage at all? I wonder how pared back it will be 🤔

If it's as good as the Castlevina series then bring it on!!

@Zhitera it looks like @patbacknitro said the same thing? 'Theres no reason at all for the series not to come to the Switch'. Don't your comments agree with each other?

For one is love to see the series arrive.

It's £66 right now.. cheap as chips!!

@Aozz101x I think the song you've linked is way more interesting than the game reviewed.. riot (the game) is a hard avoid for me.

I bet download numbers are crazy for this already. It looked fantastic!!

I'm on the fence about this game.. tbh the direct was fantastic and this was not a highlight for me.

Looked awful to me 🙄 will it play better than it looks?

I wouldn't pre-order from base.com if they are planning on delivering it two months after its actual release date..

Another unopened game.. extra missions for free or wishful thinking 🤣

Even my kids would give this a hard pass.. not sure how it made the direct tbh?

Way too many other games to clear first and a touch steep on the price again. Eshop only right?

Looks amazing, day one purchase!!

I've never played this.. is it any good? Also is there any chance the footage above could be the switch version and not PS4? 😋

This looks very interesting.. at first I thought of xenoblade + touch of sin & punishment 😁

Indeed the direct made this look terrible.. make it £20-25 and it will sell enough copies.. £40? No thanks.

I only played the 3ds version and thought meh very quickly.. is this going to be worth the hype?

Day one!! Awesome game!!

I've backed this and dawnthorn is a welcome surprise. Both games on a single physical cart will ensure I extend my support.

Credit to the devs on this one, both games look awesome and fun. Keep up the good work.

It's nice to see a fire fixes arriving... Tbh I skipped this last gen and truthfully.. from initial boot up to firelink shrine I thought wtf is? Over hyped, dated animation, struggling gameplay, unforgiving, etc, etc..? but then it clicked and everything started to flow. No longer was I being one shotted by skeletons and their friends.. the game enjoyment amplified by 100%

I've just downed sif, so I have plenty left to see and do.. but I love it, absolutely love it. Yes it's tough in places, but at the perfect level of toughness. I can only recommend people push through the game is worth it!

Outside of the standard gripes (allow for all buttons to be remapped and improve the sound please) and whether it be docked or portable this is an awesome game.

They sound like solid improvements that should have been there day one. Any chance of a physical uk release?

@pbb76 the chances are very high.

All the new fighters and what the dlc plan is? Free dlc or chargeable?

I skipped this last gen, haven't purchased it on any other platform and my switch version is itching to be played!!! Personally I can't wait 😁

I've still not subbed as I don't see the benefit; a few games that we all have several times over, crappy mobile chat app, etc. yes there are cloud backups and some online play, both of which should not need subs.. please bring in local saves.

Also isn't the golf game the same one that was a hidden tribute to Satoru Iwata? If so, now charging for it now kind of kills off true meaning of that tribute?

Shame on you Nintendo!!

If it's a different golf game then I'll go back to my train journey and stfu 😁

I purchased the other Batman telltale (£13-physical) and it's still shrink-wrapped. My backlog is growing and the number of much better games is increasing.. this will be a pass until it's dirt cheap, should this really be £40?

I stopped pre-orders via Amazon after they offered A discount voucher for games after release and wouldn't price match their own discount.. way too frustrating and not worth it for the now obsolete £2 discount prime brought.
Shop around there are always better deals then Amazon.

It's a big pass by me.. 30 minutes to 1 hour game play or sub 50 seconds if you don't care for the narrative?

Don't get me wrong I'm not intending to place a downer on creative angle of the game, but the focus on an individuals sexual orientation and the trappings of a dull 90's virtual family? Naaaaa, not for me.

I thought this game was also free these days?

RGT 85 has an historic review that takes longer to watch than play the game and was very much more enjoyable 😁

Edit: https://youtu.be/ayVMfjcWjLg

@Stargazer you are right, the steam reviews (albeit 103) are very much a welcome positive response and the developer does appear to be very active in both development and the forums. Which is great as he clearly cares!!

@Francema I was initially of the same opinion, but I think there is a lot more depth to this game than the graphics? Perhaps a demo would encourage others put off by the basic look?

Personally myself being a fan of the binding of Isaac this is one to try out. I guess the question is.. what will be the price point? - £7.99-9.99 and I'm in, any more and I'll be waiting for a sale.

Awesome, a great blast from the past!

I've also had this pre-ordered for what feels like the beginning of time.. but at least it's on route and hopefully this means all performance issues are now dead & buried?.. and will make the cartridge gold release, without the need for patch (which can only be a great thing)?

@Retroman78 chers for the link, but there are only 3 UK reviews and the 2nd smells of a fake review..

'Fast delivery and great quality! Bought this adapter for my boyfriend.With its easy connection and smooth output, he enjoyed the game more!'

I'm not sure how this adaptor will make anybody enjoy a game more?

The concept is great and needed for those who travel, but I'd prefer something official and not a potentially bricked switch

I just don't see this being any good.. poor animation, basic gameplay, quirky, but overall looks to be heading for 3/10.

Congrats.. does this also exclude the Philips CD-i Zelda's? I couldn't see them listed?

Scrap that.. cdi = non-canon, therefore not even in the mix..😂

@sandman89 you could use a rancid egg instead of going to kill the shade?

@SBandy awww my sense of humour radar must be on the blink - sorry!!

@SBandy I agree you won't be paying for it. as it is free
