@Shepdawg1 thanks for putting this up, I hate sitting through a video sometimes when a simple description will suffice. Good work, shame the writer of the article couldn’t put in as much effort as yourself.
This is becoming standard now, The Batman is already on streaming. Sonic 2 is a really fun film though with a great end credits sequence and a cool scene after the credits finish. There’s loads of references and throwbacks to the early games too. Well worth a couple of viewings.
Starfox 64 is amazing and my favourite. Assault reminds me of 3DS Kid Icarus, brilliant flying levels, awful on foot levels. I’d love a full remaster of 64.
It was just pure fun that could be played by anyone and had that unique hook that anyone watching wanted to play. Sure the Wii remotes didn’t work as 1 to 1 accuracy but the fun came from moving your arms about and actually being convinced you were playing tennis etc.
Some of their books are great but some of them are definitely style over substance, I got the last one - Go Straight, guide to side scrolling beat-em ups and it was ok, but the book has so many pages it was unwieldy and difficult to actually sit down with and read. Also some of the biggest games had very little coverage in comparison to lesser known and unpopular games. The layouts are very lacklustre too and there are obvious errors where the authors have either missed out the obvious or just haven’t done their research.
If you’re interested in gaming art books I’d go for the Udon Capcom ones or try and source the Mook art books from Japan which often show up on eBay.
It’s often on sale on the eshop for £3.99 which is what I paid, apart from the physical cartridge and the book the rest of the stuff is just absolute tat.

Re: Review: Pocky & Rocky Reshrined - A Thrilling New Interpretation Of A SNES Classic
Can’t wait for this, it looks amazing. All three Switch games from this developer are love letters to the golden age.

Re: Video: This Elden Ring Game Boy Demake Will Be Playable On Real Hardware
@ChromaticDracula it’s a great game no doubt but in terms of graphics it’s not pushing the system at all.
Re: Video: This Elden Ring Game Boy Demake Will Be Playable On Real Hardware
Only slightly worse graphics than the PS5 version.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Star Wars: The Force Unleashed On Switch?
Its far better than the review on here suggests. If anyone is on the fence SwitchUp have done a couple of great videos about the game.
