@Exerion76 Plus if you have pc gamepass or gamepass ultimate you'll have over 100 playable games immediately. If you are new to gamepass it will cost a dollar or pound for the first month. Not stupid.
I love Pangya!! My favourite fantasy golf game. I just wish somebody would buy the rights to ip. I'm not sure who holds the rights atm. I still play the wii versions from time to time.
I've waited nearly two decades for an updated Advance Wars. A sequel would if been nice but I understand that after such a long period without a entry in the series many gamers have yet to experience this fantastic title. It is without doubt my favourite game series of all time. Hope it is going to be a success leading to more entries or even a brand new game. BTW if you like this try Tiny Metal. It's awesome!
With so many titles releasing on the various platforms, the biggest problem for me is not so much money but time. You have to be selective on the games you are able to play. Therfore with this being that case for so many gamers today Square Enix may not make as much as they could otherwise. Imagine if nintendo were to release a AAA tile every week. Only certain titles would sell well and as a result many more niche titles would be less likely to receive sequels. In the last 20 years how many Kirby and Zelda titles have been released compared Advance Wars?
Pong from one of those 6 pack video game machines from 1970s. Before those, pinball and fruit machines in the arcades and cafes of the 70s. Yes that's how long I have been a gamer and I still Love it!
@YoshiF2 I agree. I have been waiting years for an Advance Wars sequel only to have the remake delayed. My main gripe is that nintendo along with SEGA and Konami are sitting on a gold mine and simply cannot see it. They all have ips begging for remasters / sequels. Capcom and more recently Bandai namco realise there is a huge market out there for these titles. I would love a tekken collection or Ridge Racer collection! F-Zero yes please! Suppose I can expect another Kirby/Warriors/etc next year.
@BartoxTharglod Nintendo will not do a Switch 2, it's too obvious. They seem to thrive on being innovative and trying something new and challenging. Software as well as hardware. Otherwise we would of had a new Adavance Wars or F Zero years ago.
@TheWingedAvenger I've hardly touched my switch for a year since I bought Xbox series S. So many great games on the Xbox especially with Game Pass Ultimate. The one Switch game I am really looking forward to , Advance Wars has been delayed until next year. Go back now and then to Switch to play Project Diva, Tiny Metal and Groove Coaster.
Great top 50! Just like so many other gamers I'm sure we that will all have a different order. But just wanted to say how awesome the N64 was . So many classics including ones not in the list. Great memories. It's about time Nintendo released an N64 mini! Come on Nintendo how about it? . Im Sure Xbox would allow DKR to be released on it.
I've wanted this game along with an Advance Wars for so long, since the nintendo switch launch. Played the local arcade machine a lot, fantastic game. But with Forza Horizon 5 on the Xbox game pass horizon I will probably wait for a super sale before purchasing. It's arriving just a little too late for me.
To me the Gamecube era is nintendo at its best. Regular releases of top titles. They even took a few risks rather than stick to safer franchises. Plus I really liked the controller, very comfortable.
My dreams almost came true today. ADVANCE WARS on SWITCH!!!! COME ON BABY!! Now you're talking. My favourite game franchise ever is making a return. I never thought I would ever see this day. It's a shame that they are remastered sort of, instead of a brand new title. But on the plus side two for the price of one.
Not sure on the art style ie table top view like a game board. I was hoping for something a little more dynamic similar to Tiny Metal.
However this is top of my nintendo list and hopefully will sell well enough for nintendo to green-light more advance wars titles.
It's about time. I played the $@$! out of this machine at my local bowling alley when it was released. It is Fantastic!!! Thought we would a seen a much earlier release on Switch to be honest.
I lost hope , thought they passed on the opportunity. I hope they've done good job translating to switch with extra modes and vehicles.
I'd be Interested in comparing digital chart to physical charts. Anyone know if there is a way of viewing this comparison?
Also what is selling more physical or digital? I'm an older gamer who been physical all the way but in the last 12 months or so has been converted to mainly digital purchases. It saves space and loving the almost instant delivery.
I've been playing Harvest Moon one World for nearly a week now.
I'm loving it. I dont have much spare time on my hands right now so I quite like the simple gameplay mechanics, the colorful world, the catchy tunes and the cheesy jokes. I feel progression is quite quick and there is a lot to do in one game day. Quite good if you have a spare 20 minutes here and there in real life.
It's not perfect but it does not deserve the low scores its getting at the moment. I have played many titles that have received high scores and much praise only to left disappointed and failed to see what reviewers rave about sometimes.
Its a matter of taste I supppose. I'd give it a 7/10.
I have not played Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. I might eventually but for now I'm happy with Harvest Moon One World.
What ever you're playing have fun and stay safe everyone!
Nintendo were poor last year in my opinion. 1 or 2 saving graces but overall quite poor. It was so poor last year I invested in Xbox.
I'm loving XBox. To be fair though things looking better for nintendo this year so far. Don't understand their 'buy now before they go' policy on games and merch?
This is one awesome youtuber I have missed very much. His music is fantastic versions of popular video game tunes. He puts a lot of work into his versions and I really admire his talent.
I love seeing his cat who makes an appearance in all of his videos I think. Very cute. I was very pleased to hear he is recovering well. Looking forward to the new videos Smooth.
Mario Golf at long last and Knockout City for me. Probably get the latter on Xbox along with Fall Guys. Miitopia as well ( it should be Cheaper than £40 tho) although I would of prefered a sequel.
Just wished for a bit more ' nintendo' after soo long a gap between direct proper. I don't mean remasters. Plus I was rather hoping for Densha De Go to be annouced for the West and anything Advance Wars related.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
Even with the annoucments of (my faves) Advance Wars 1+2, Fatal Frame and Cruis'n Blast I thought XBOX were just slightly ahead.
Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water Jumps From Wii U To Switch And, Surprisingly, Other Platforms
This is a very very good and very very scary game on Wiiu.
I managed to buy collectors edition when it was released.
I am tempted to double dip on XBox Series S.
Re: Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp Reimagines The Classics On Switch

Re: Switch Exclusive Project Triangle Strategy Aiming For Around 50 Hours Of Gameplay
Needs to be shorter.
I loved Octopath but felt the boss battles were ridiculously long which spoilt the experience for me and ruined the game.
These days too many good games and not enough time. I'd prefer an oustanding 20-30 hours over monotonous 50+ hours.
This is where games like Rocket League, Asphault, Fortnite etc succceed if you have a spare 15 -20 minutes you can a couple of rounds in.
This is why I 'd prefer Miitopia over Project Triangle .
Shame really could be really good. Perhaps in another life.
One game I would really put the hours in is 'Advance Wars ' for nintendo Switch.
Re: Feature: Should You Buy Harvest Moon: One World, Or Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town?
