Mario Golf on my Switch, finally finishing Ghost of Tsushima on my PS4 and playing a game I never even knew about but thanks to my Evercade have recently discovered, Operation Logic Bomb.
What a great game, really surprised at how good this is.

It's not hard to do anything better than the Switch's Joy cons, they're useless.
Too small for my man hands, at least I won't cramp up like I do with the Joy Cons.

@Guitar_bard
Yeah game collecting has become increasingly harder and this sort of thing doesn't help us at all.
I love the feeling of finding a copy of a game you've been hunting down but sadly game grading, stories like this where games sell for ridiculous amounts have only made some games increase to prices that make it impossible.
I was lucky in that the higher priced games for my 64 collection I got early before prices jumped, some prices now I would never pay.

They could have combined Space Hunter.
Spuinter
Spater
Spacer

Yeah on second thoughts I can see why they went with Metroid.

I just completed a complete in box, mint collection of Australian rated N64 games, all 243 +some variants, all complete and I told my wife then that it was an "investment"
Now I will show her this story to win my argument 😁

And yes, they have all been opened and all have been playtested.
All will be played.
I have played some games I never would have and found some real gems doing so.
It has taken over 10 years and I have made some wonderful friends out of collecting them

Grading games bugs me, it hikes prices for those of us actually collecting them to play.

Still won't be as good as the Wii U version as the gamepad was used really well.
I have the LE Wii U version that was released here in Australia so I'm good.
Glad others can enjoy it, shame the Wii U was such a failure.
The gamepad had so much potential when used properly

Here's a thought, maybe invest in, oh I don't know, more developers to make games for your console

Could be beneficial.

Good move though.

I own 2
I don't Smash, I don't Pokemon, I don't Splat, I don't Party and I'm already fit.
That is all about to change with the amount of pre-orders I have coming in the next few months though
The quiet before the storm
Can't wait.

Once the Switch Pro releases those numbers will pick up...........😜

@twztid13
Lol.
I wouldn't care what the called it tbh.

The real secret is that Reggie is a robot.

Axiom Verge 2, Metroid Dread Cross over?

Oh yes please!

Maxiom Dreadverge

I already have NMH3 Collectors Edition and Metroid Dread Special Edition pre ordered so those are going to keep me busy.
Also getting Cruis'n Blast as a break from the other too.

So this is a Wii Leak.

Should get that looked at by a Dr.

Really looking forward to getting my LE of this.
Can't wait to play it.

I'll get Stray on my PS4 instead.

Shame it's not coming to Switch but I guess you can't have it all

Seriously though, Nintendo - if you're reading this, we'll take a new Pilotwings game when you're ready...

Hahahha, like Nintendo actually listen to anyone, hahahha

I (and many others) have been waiting for a new Metroid for way too long.
Our bodies are ready.
Just hook it into my veins, we don't need an update as we have played these games numerous times over waiting for a new game in the series.
It's like asking F Zero fans (myself included) if we are ready for a new game, of course we are
Just release it already.

Saying that, this is great to get you up to speed or for newcomers and those who don't live, eat and breathe these franchises

Just about finished Ghost of Tsushima so I will finish that.
Loving playing Jaleco Collection on my Evercade so some more of that whenever possible.
My Switch lies dormant, I have Mario Golf to start but it can wait for now.
Also playing some games on my Cube, Wii U and SNES.

Kirby in Mortal Kombat.
It just makes sense
I mean his name even starts with a K.
Killer Kirby Kombat!

It's for the day one patch.
Nothing these days is ever finished.
😁

Can't wait though, I was lucky enough to nab a pre-order for the Limited Edition.

Still play my Wii U.
Awesome console.

Still waiting for the Wii U OLED 4k announcement.
Now that I would buy

I buy games to play, I am a collector though.
I have a complete N64 collection, all mint, all complete, all played or will be played.
I don't buy sealed games, I do have sealed games that I haven't played, had the intention of playing but a cheap digital copy has come out so I bought that to keep my Seal unbroken.
All my games I buy I keep in pristine condition knowing that in the future they will be worth something to somebody.
Whether my kids or I benefit from that who knows.
I buy collectors editions wherever possible knowing that the prices will only increase.
I'm not well off but I don't have any other habits or hobbies so I invest heavily into it.
Not all collectors are out to scalp, some of us just love gaming so much that we want to preserve as much of it as we can.

Hahaha.
Scalping the OLED.
Hahaha.

This is the one time I'm glad Nintendo offered us docked owners nothing.

I'll keep playing on my large screen OLED TV thanks and save me some money.

Since Nintendo Life gave the original on Wii a 10 this should get a 1080p.😁

Also, if Nintendo release a HD version of 1080 they could call it 1080p.
If only.😠

aaaand I shall now slowly disappear back into the shadows.

Right.
That's it!

I'm buying up all the obscure and rare games, never play or open them, wait 15 or 20 years and then shout:
"Look what I found!"
The sell it to the highest bidder.

Retirement plan done.

Slap 'Deluxe' on the title and call it a day, this is the New Nintendo way.
😁

@Col_e_h

Probably.
The worst thing is when I called Nintendo Australia they accused me of dropping it!
I was insulted.
I'm a collector.
I take extreme care of all my consoles and games, I still have my launch day N64, PS1 etc, all still work perfectly and they had the audacity to accuse me.
I subsequently lost my ****.
Thankfully I had taken pics of me opening my new Switch as I always do with new consoles (weird, I know 😁) so I had photographic proof that it was like that our of the box.
They have lost a lot of respect from me that's for sure

Sorry for the rant, it still angers me today, clearly.
🙄

@ok1
EB Games here in Australia.
I was so excited when I got it but after I had to wait while they fixed it I lost a lot of my excitement sadly
Really opened my eyes and not in a good way unfortunately.

@Deppasois
Alphabetical.
I've already played a bit of Xena when I test them as I buy them.
I really enjoyed the little I played of it.
Surprised me how good it was.

I just completed a full set of N64 games all complete in their boxes that were released here in Australia.
All 243 fully complete, all mint.
Took me nearly 10 years but I'm done..
I intend to play them all though and already have played most.

That is still way too much though.
Still, increases my collection value.😁

My launch day Switch had joycon drift straight out of the box.
The console itself had cracks in the casing and the SD card reader didn't work.
This was a BRAND NEW console that has numerous faults.
I was without my console for 2 months while they fixed it.
I only got to play my new console for 2 weeks before I found all these faults and Nintendo has done nothing to convince me they have fixed any of these issues with this new version.
Until they do they're not getting another cent out of me in regards to hardware.

Cool but I still think these 'upgrades'' should have been on the original from the start.
Great for those that play handheld, not at all for those of us like myself that don't though.
We apparently don't exist.🤪

Must be noob scalpers.
Who in their right mind would pay more than the rrp
I won't even pay RRP let alone that.
That's hilarious, I needed a good laugh, thanks.

My daughter has been waiting for Luigi, her favourite character.
Mario hogs the limelight but we all know Luigi is the real star.

Also, Luigi just can't Lego of his brother........and with that I will leave 😜

Short answer.
If you play mainly in handheld then OLED Switch is a yes.
If like me you only play docked, then no.

Done.

This journalism thing is easy.
😜

Wow, that looks great

Also, that tagline had me in stitches.

Thanks for that information.
Not that I'm going to need it since this console has revisions that should have been on the original.
If I'm going to spend that amount of money on a slightly better revision I might as well get a XB or PS5 for a little more.
😁

Nintendo giving us more stability in a world that is unbalanced

Still not giving us folders though.

I have a sealed copy of Ikaruga (pal) version for the GameCube that I bought on release with the intention of playing it but because I have such a huge backlog (that has actually increased over the years) I never got around to playing it.
I then saw that it was released on my 360 a few years later before I got to open it so I downloaded it on that for cheap instead and kept my Cube version sealed, which it still is today.
I plan on giving it to my daughter who is an avid gamer to sell in the future for a very nice profit.
See, investing in games can be beneficial and my mother said nothing good will come out of them.
Pfffft.

Tony Hawk 1 and 2 (PS4)
Ghost of Tsushima.
Mario Golf
Tony Hawk 1 and 2 on my N64 as well just for comparison.

Masstroid Prime.

They're also recycling there Wii U content for Switch, amirite 😜

I will let myself out.

But gimmicks are the Nintendo way.
If they release a Starfox with no real advancements then us F Zero fans will riot

I played TH 1, 2, 3 & 4 on my PS1 and PS2 as the controllers are way better for pulling off combo's than any Nintendo pad.
I also got the remakes on the PS4 for the same reason thanks to Sony not changing their controllers for years and keepng very similar layouts.
Fell straight back into racking up ridiculous scores as It felt natural and I remembered most of the button combinations.
Sometimes a lack of innovation for your controllers pays off 😁

I own both 1 & 2 on my 64 and I can't pull half the moves I can with a Sony controller.
Also I rate 3 as my all time favourite thanks mainly in having the best level ever, the cruise ship.
Some seriously massive scores on that level.
Let's hope 3 & 4 get the same treatment as 1 & 2 as I would snap that up in a heartbeat.

I picked it up last week for my PS4 for $20 Australian and have been playing it this week.
So good to let the Birdman Fly again.

That's fine, I don't support their app.

Dead Space would be amazing.
It is EA though, and it certainly is dEAd.
They certainly know how to kill a good developer.
Can't spell death without EA.

Ghost of Tsushima.
Waiting for Mario Golf.
Data East Collection and Megacat Studios Collection on my Evercade.

This is great news.
I will pick it up.
I was hoping for another racer to be announced, I think it starts with an F.....shame as there is Zero chance of that happening.
