Remember Meme Run on Wii U. The fact a game this bad even got any media coverage shows just how lean those Wii U years were. NL awarded it 1/10.

I am really looking forward to this. The fact they're working on an equally impressive looking He-Man game as well, is just amazing. They're making the kind of games I would make if I was a developer.

Hopefully they have a Rambo game planned for the future.

@OmnitronVariant The 3DS was a more powerful DS, just as the Advance was a more powerful Gameboy. It would have been more of a surprise if they did release something very different.

@whmchrish Mario Sunshine was shown as one of the upcoming games for NSO. It's one of 5 games shown yet to release, so it could be a few months yet. I imagine Luigi's Mansion will release in time for Halloween. I would say December looks a good month for Sunshine.

I have always wanted to play Bubsy to see if it's as bad as it reviewed at the time. I remember before its release , my mate was bigging it up as a Sonic killer, while I was sceptical. He died a few years ago, but one of our final conversations was about Bubsy. He denied ever calling it a Sonic Killer but I remember it well.

@Warioware Yep, I think the same. I was sure they were going to reveal it at the end of the 40th Anniversary section in the last Direct. It makes sense why they would hold off on its announcement for now though.

@Uncle_Franklin @Suketoudara I think if Switch is still selling in the millions, and it doesn't seem to be harming Switch 2 sales, Nintendo will continue to support it with the odd smaller game and remaster. Perhaps some.more Wii or 3DS ports with a Switch 2 upgrade.

The art style is very Hades-like. Even the menus and character portraits are clearly influenced by it. If I didn't know better, I would think it's a Hades spinoff by Supergiant.

This is not a bad thing though, it looks very nice and SoR4 was excellent. Really looking forward to see how it comes together.
Roguelite might be the evolutions the genre needs.

I really like this style of graphics. The character designs are excellent too. I hope more early 3D games get this treatment.

Since EA do nothing with their old games, Nintendo should try and secure them for NSO. So many quality games could be added to the Megadrive app. The licensed games are obviously unavailable but
Road Rash, the Strike games, James Pond, Mutant League Football, General Chaos, Powermonger, Zany Golf, Marble Madness and many more. Looking through their list of released Megadrive games, incredibly they put out 99 games for it. Google actually says over they released 100. Either way, that's around 11% of the Megadrive's library. I knew they were prolific but I didn't realise they were THAT prolific.

And what do they do with these games?, Nothing. Looking at the list of EA Play games, they only go back 20 years or so. I wonder why that is?

Just seeing the EA logo come up on my TV makes me feel grubby, like I'm playing something I shouldn't be playing.

@CaptChaos The reason it's £49.99 at Smyths is the same reason the Switch version can be had for ,£43, physical editions can always be had cheaper than the RRP.

@CaptChaos It costs £58 / $70 for the Switch 2 Edition. It's priced in line with DK Bananza. The reason it costs less than say MKW is because it's a Switch 2 Edition rather than an exclusive and it's not as big an IP as Zelda. Plus they want the series to be more popular than it is.. This was most likely the reason why MP Remastered was cheaper.

Talking of Remastered... the incredible job Retro did with that, makes me confident MP4 will be top tier. 9/10 at worst.

An hour later, she was really feeling it.

I feel like rating it 10/ 10 just from reading this review. It will be a few weeks before I can play it unfortunately but what a game to have so early in the Switch 2's life.

@Zeugziumy It looks like it could run well on 3DS.

Graphically, it looks like a 3DS game upscaled. There's jaggies galore, and it kind of looks unfinished. I suppose it is unfinished and will look better at launch,. as It's hard to believe they would release a Switch 2 game looking as bad as this.

Sees Forever Entertainment.... loses interest, forever.

It's mad to see a game like Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, in the UK top 10.

I wonder if Switch 2 mouse controls will be patched in.

@BaldB3lper78 £19/ $25 seems fair to me. It's quite a bit cheaper than their ShotTriggers releases. A lot of work goes into these M2 ports, more so than Hamster's Arcade Archives releases, which are priced higher per game.

@rvcolem1 The first game I thought of was Episode 3 of Sonic 4. It was cancelled after the poor reception to Episode 1&2 and low sales of Episode 2.

@MirrorFate2 Going by the 2nd and 4th screenshots, there looks to be a CRT filter.

My first play through of Layers of Fear gave me one of the most unique experiences I've ever had with a game. I had never played anything like it and got totally.absorbed in exploring every part of the house and for the first time ever in a video game, I felt genuine fear playing it. It was an unreal experience. I have played through it a few times but never been able to recreate the feeling of the first time. I craved that experience again and bought Observer at launch, but I just couldn't get into it. And sadly, Layers of Fear 2 was a big disappointment for me. But I have faith in them going forward. They've made a great Silent Hill game and Cronos is looking very promising.

@Suketoudara With the announcement of the new He-Man beat em up just weeks after my comment saying I wish there was a He-Man beat em up,. Thundercats and Galaxy High games following, can't be ruled out.

@JohnnyMind Origin was my first Ys game and I absolutely loved everything about it. The combat feels really great and the levelling up, is very satisfying. Once it gets going, it's hard to put down. Just talking about it makes me want to play it again.

There's no way these are selling as well as they would, if the games were on the cart. Publishers are seeing if they can get away with it at the moment, but low sales will soon make them change their mind. Nintendo need to offer smaller carts though, else it won't be viable for some publishers.

The other week, under the article about the new Danger Mouse game, I wondered why there wasn't a quality He-Man or Thundercats beat em up... Now here we are.

Codename Veronica REmake would be really great. I'm confident 7 and 8 and the remakes of 2/3/4 will make their way to Switch 2. We shall see about Requiem. Let's hope cloud versions don't rear their ugly head, especially this early in the console's life.

R-Type Delta HD releases that day too. Proper video game day that.

@Ham-n-jam I'm pretty sure they did show split screen racing near the start. It was split vertically.

I've never played the original, so I thought this mode would just be side content to the main game, but it seems I'll be spending most of my time here.

I love how it has a GameCube/ Wii style look to it, just much cleaner with a lot more going on.

Remasters of the first 2 would be amazing. The first Shenmue blew my mind at the time, like very few ever have. I wouldn't rate it as my favourite game of all time, possibly top 10... But it's definitely one of the most memorable games I've ever played.

Shenmue 3 looks kind of cheap to me, can't quite explain it. Considering how impressive the originals were for the time, the third one needs to look better than it does.

I didn't know this was coming to other consoles. I assumed it was a Switch 2 exclusive. No complaints of course, just thought it was one of those 3rd party games that's backed by Nintendo.

A 45 minute Direct for a game we haven't even seen a snippet of actual gameplay from, is nuts, in a good way.

@Sylamp Try G-Darius HD if you like that aesthetic. The gameplay might be your style. Not sure if it's on Steam though.

Really looking forward to this. R-Type on the Master System was a memorable game from my youth and one of the shmups that made me love the genre. I've never played Delta before but I've read a few folks say it's their favourite.

I love the experience of playing one of the great shmups from the past, for the first time. The Switch has given me so many of those moments. Hopefully Leo and Final come too. I have never played those either. Same goes for Gradius V while I'm at it. That looks superb.

You know what could work with the camera, Bonsai Barber.

This gen should hopefully bring a lot more new experiences from Nintendo, seeing as they've not got the Wii U ports to fall back on. I own more games on Switch than all my past consoles put together but I have fewer 1st party games, 14 I think, than I had on Wii U. And half of those are a mix of Wii U ports and remasters.

Oh wow, I have been hoping for this since I played my first Nightdive remaster. Superb news.

Normally, I have zero interest in physical Deluxe Editions, especially for a game I only learned about a few days ago, but this one is quality. That book would be really nice to have while going through each game.

I only learned about UFO 50 the other day, after reading Damian's review on Time Extension. What a great concept. I really like Spelunky 2 and Downwell, was just playing them recently. To have it available to buy so soon after learning about it, is really great.

This is looking promising.

There will be cosy games, farming sims, arty farty Indies, cosy farming sims, cosy arty farty Indies, arty farty farming sims, cosy arty farty farming sim indie games and a couple of promising looking games to look forward to.

@Broch83 Just realised I got my Hela and Cronos mixed up. You must have wondered what I was talking about.

Metroid Prime 4 and Silksong in quick succession would be mad.

September is empty, so I'm going to assume that's when it will release. There will likely be a MP4 Direct or special overview trailer a month before its release.

As much as I've grown to love turn based RPG's in recent years, I'll always prefer a good action RPG.

@Broch83 Hela looks promising. While watching the trailer, for a moment I thought it looked like Bloober Team game, then dismissed it, only to see their logo at the end They're a bit inconsistent as a developer but I'm hopeful this will be one of their good ones.

I know it's often mentioned but those Xbox numbers are dreadful. Pretty sure they are even lower than normal. You've got to wonder why Microsoft even bother in Japan. 3 different consoles and they can only shift a combined 271. You would think the value of Gamepass alone would ensure they sell at least a few thousand consoles each week.

If the Mario Kart World bundle is available for all of this gen, there's a good chance it will surpass MK8D in sales.
