Wreckfest on Switch.
That game is heaps of fun
Don't forget about this great racer if you love driving games.
It seems that this great racer has been overlooked by this site sadly.
My Switch was a dud.
It had major faults from day one when I pulled it out of the box.
I bought it on launch and it had a faulty SD reader, game card reader, 3 cracks in the casing and the left Joycon drifted badly.
I had to send it in after only owning it for a week to fix all the faults.
It took them 3 weeks before I got it back.
I was without my new console for nearly a month.
My family was severely disappointed and still today after Nintendo fixed my joy con it still drifts.
So yes, you could say Switch did fail to deliver in my household.
Great to see Metroid is getting some recognition, still doesn't feel real
Us Metroid fans have only been waiting for what feels like an eternity, now how about that F Zero franchise you've been sitting on......
Awesome.
I'm loving this game after I recently picked up the Prisoners Edition.
I've found this fair, tough but fair.
I also thought Blasphemous was easy enough.
I'm glad people who are put off by hard games now have an option but I'll keep playing on normal.
I need to git gud.
I have 2 2DS's brand new in their box.
A pink one and a Pokemon one.
I also have the original Blue Phat DS brand new in its box
My local game shop was shutting down and had a clearance sale and I got the 2 2DS's for $99 Australian each.
I'd love Nintendo to be more transparent about Joy-con drift.
Sadly a lot of the N64 titles are tied up in publisher, ownership rights so it will only be Nintendo's own titles.
I wouldn't expect GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Banjo or Conker to be amongst them.
Still, better than nothing.
I'm good though as I own everything that was released on the system anyway.
Still taking this with about 5 buckets of salt though.
I always play games to break them It is way more fun doing things the developers don't expect you to do than what they think you should. Also GameCube is a fun machine, even the shape of it with its handle screams fun. Awesome machine
As a collector it is the.people you meet and friends you make along the way while collecting that is part of the journey
I am a collector, I have a huge collection and I met a few fellow collectors who were passionate about the consoles I collect for.
It is a great feeling coming across rare titles.
I have also played games I would never even looked at if I wasn't collecting complete sets.
There truly are some wonderful games that others might not enjoy but you might.
I don't throw stupid amounts of money around and I enjoy going to second hand shops as much as going online and finding a title you've been searching for.
You can spend crazy amounts of money but if you're patient you can also nab some bargains.
Another cheaper way of buying games is buying everything individually, like the box, manual and cart and making your own full game.
I buy games that might have a mint box but the manual is tatty or the cart has a ripped label etc and then make my own mint copy.
Then sell the now complete average copy to redeem some of your money back,
It takes a lot of the cost out of the equation and in some instances I have made all my money back and a profit
You just have to set a limit.
It has worked for me and I now own a full CIB set of Australian N64 games in mint condition.
Just got Dead Cells Prisoner Edition so I'll be starting that alongside some A Robot Named Fight! on my Switch. Some Dishonored Definitive Edition on PS4 and some Xenocrisis on my Evercade.
Love the Cube.
Still have mine in its launch day box in mint condition along with over 50 games.
Even have a sealed copy of Ikaruga as I bought 2 copies for cheap.
Some truly amazing games on that system.
Viewtiful Joe is one of my all time favourite games.
Never forget playing Rogue Leader for the first time on launch night until 3 in the morning.
Blew.
My
Mind.
I can wait.
No need to crunch.
I have Dread LE pre-ordered and that will keep me happy, as well as a lot of other great indie Metroid style games to keep me busy.
Now all I need is Team Cherry to release Silksong and take away some of the pain while I wait.
Amazing game. I picked it up a physical copy cheap and went in knowing nothing and ended up falling in love with it. My daughter loves it so much that she played it until she had the best scores in our family. I still have to try and beat her scores, not like that will be a chore, love the game.
I got both those messages. I never follow the path they expect you to, why be so predictable. I want to see if I can break these games, that's what adventuring is all about, or am I doing it wrong, oh well. 😜
I have a massive collection.
I own every N64 game released in Australia, all complete in box in mint condition.
I've said this a few times, it took me 10+ years to accumulate, I love my 64 collection.
I also own a 70+ GameCube games, over 80+ Wii U games, so, so many Wii games, some SNES games, and heaps of DS, 3DS,, 360 and Switch games.
I recently sold my PS1 & PS2 collection which was massive, as well as my Xbox Original collection which was also huge, needed to make room for more new games like my fast growing PS4 collection.
I have played probably 80% of my games and I intend on playing them all, eventually.
It is the circle of life..
If they put Shaggy in Mortal Kombat his finishing move should be pulling off their face as a mask, only their is no mask and he rips their face off leaving a bloody skull.
I have bought a fair few LE/CE lately and I am getting tired of them
I have NMH3, Metroid, Shin Megami, Mind Sieze, Scott Pilgrim and Castilla Ex all LE pre orders not to mention the ones I have recently picked up.
Seriously, it's like every release has to be limited.
I've done my fair share.
The games I've pre-ordered are the games I love and I love the extra's but man they're really starting to saturate the market with Limited Editions.
I'd hate to be collecting them all, you'd have to sell your soul to keep up.
Mind Sieze is a great game that should be on that list It has been patched well which fixes a lot of the bugs too. It has great in game graphics (ignore the cutsecene art, it's terrible) and I really love the soundtrack. The sound effects are great too.
I bought it digitally and enjoyed it so much that I have the Collectors Edition pre ordered.
I will be very surprised if this doesn't chug at all on the Switch. It's a great game but I think it will be downgraded heavily or make the Switch self implode trying to run this.
Time to grab some popcorn and wait for the results.
I'm a physical collector.
I have a few sealed games but that was because I bought it digitally later in life and never ended up opening it
I have a full 243 game plus variants collection of CIB Australian rated N64 games, most are mint, all have been opened or played.
My kids love playing our N64 with me, they especially love Banjo Kazooie.
I collected these over a 10+ year span well before this crazy sh** was happening with the intention of playing them all.
I only got my last game in the last month or so and really enjoyed finding games I never would have played if I didn't
The prices have certainly shot up in the last couple of years, thankfully I bought mint copies of games like Starcraft 64, Kirby, Snowboard Kids 2 all for $90 each years ago, bargain.
I couldn't afford to do it now though as those 3 games alone would cost me $3,500+ today, especially in the condition mine are in.
Ridiculous.
Same thing is happening with No More Heroes 3 from Pix 'n' Love, the Collectors and Deluxe Editions are delayed. I got the email today telling me they're delayed.
Man they cut a lot of scenery down. The comparison shots I've seen between the Switch version and others is remarkable. The Forest in the background must've been cut down by lumberjacks in the Switch version, it looks like a barren wasteland compared to other versions. Hard pass
Just finished Ghost of Tsushima which I loved.
Started The Order 1886 which is a nice short game as a break after that huge game
Love the setting, great world they have created, enjoying it especially as I got it free in a deal.
Also playing Mario Golf on my Switch and playing San Francisco RUSH 2049 on my N64.
