Re: Still Not Convinced On Paper Mario: The Origami King? This Accolades Trailer Might Do The Trick

I Pre ordered the game with the origami sheets and have been playing it with my daughter. Loving it so far, The Thousand Year Door has always been the series highlight for me and no entry has come close to that so far in my opinion so i was sceptical to say the least, but I have been pleasantly surprised. So far it seems to have the perfect balance of great level design, comedy storytelling, turn based battles and rpg elements (even if it's not as rpg heavy as PM2) The only downside is I can't play it unless my 4 year old daughter is with me as she won't let me haha πŸ˜…

I still own and use mine, I've even adapted a universal game case for it to fit and designed a custom cover for it. I love how the gameboy version of donkey kong has a border like an old arcade cabinet when using it. Great bit of kit.

Re: What Year Is It? Nintendo's Wii U Is Getting A New Game Today

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love my Wiiu it's a cracking console and it still gets played regularly. I now own a switch too but I have invested over 200 hrs in breath of the wild alone so won't be shelling out another 50 quid for the same game. The switch owes a lot to the wiiu for most of its 1st party games are wiiu ports or updates. I actually think the wiiu gamepad is nicely made and surprisingly comfortable for it's size. I wish people would stop referring to it as 'ill fated' or badly timed as i for one will be playing mine long into the future. Long live the WiiU! πŸ’™

Re: Random: Dave "The Games Animal" Perry Teases Another Go On Super Mario 64, The Game That Sank His TV Career

@Mortenb to add some context, the show usually featured members of the general public taking part in these challenges and Dave was one of the industry experts that would give commentary etc. during their performance. The fact that he probably felt he lost credibility due to losing on tv might have made him feel like he had to leave. i hope that helps?

I remember watching Gamesmaster back in the day including this episode. I was proud to say that I went to college with a couple of twin brothers who were pros at street fighter 2 and they actually won both the golden joystick from gamesmaster and the jackets from games world. Always found Dominic Diamond pretty annoying and was sad when Dave left the show.

Re: The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle Update You All Asked For Is Now Live

@moroboshi876 that's a good question. Being in the arcade was certainly part of the experience, one that i am sad has died out nowadays - but the dream was always to be able to play these types of games at home only technology wasn't up to it until about the SNES / Megadrive era. once that became possible it triggered the death of the arcade as we knew it. 😭
