Glad it came to the service because I don't think I otherwise would have gotten to try it. That's one of the benefits of having the service. Drip feed aside, it's letting me both revisit games and try new ones.
So far I think the game's been alright. Sometimes it is hard for me to tell what I'm looking at with some of the backgrounds. Difficulty wise its easier than Resident Evil Gaiden.
Absolutely love SBK and SBK2. Still play them every now and then. Both have good soundtracks but between the two I think the first one has better tracks.
Glad this distribution is coming my way. Marshadow is the only Pokemon I don't have (besides the Gen IX ones). Will be glad to finally have a complete Dex in Pokemon Home.
Releasing the Stadium and GB games on Switch with transfer pak connectivity would be awesome. It's a lot of fun connecting everything on the original hardware and I'd love to see that aspect preserved through NSO.
@kingbk @NatiaAdamo Namco acquired the copyright and trademark to Ms. Pac-Man from Midway but hadn't acquired the royalty rights. AtGames swooped in and bought those royalty rights.
Only shinies I've ever gotten outside events and trades were a shiny Nidoran♀ in I hatched in Y (with Masuda method and Shiny charm) and a shiny Bisharp I found in the wild area in Sword (no shiny chance augments).
I already have them on Playstation. If they were actual ports I may have gotten them but as is I'm not interested. Don't want to think about latency issues during a KH boss fight.
Regarding the space issue, don't see why they couldn't let you download the games you want on to the service, rather than downloading them all at once.
Not planning on buying any consoles these holidays since I already have the Switch, PS5, Series X trinity. It'll be all about the software purchases instead.
Have some fond memories of playing Guitar Hero with friends. Got a bit competitive with us seeing who could do the best on Through the Fire and Flames in GH3.
Yes, let's highlight 3DS as being the worst selling handheld in big bold letters despite selling nearly 76 million units compared to the GBA's 81 million. That's such a disappointment.
I have Gaiden and it's alright. My biggest issue with it was how easy it was to run into zombies, either hidden by foreground elements or the screen being so dark, which then quickly drained your resources.
Visiting Super Potato was like going to heaven for me. Picked some things up in Akihabara and then again at an Osaka store. To top things off I also got to play a Virtual Boy there.
Good to hear talk about getting the games industry back together but I'm also looking forward to getting back to talking about E3 with my friends again.
@Silly_G My mistake in using all then but major expansions are liable to requiring new classifications, regardless of a physical release. I say liable because changes that wouldn't alter the classification are exempt from reclassification but that sounds like it is up to the risk of the publishers in judging that. The only outright exemptions listed by the ACB are for minor and or technical changes.
Also, just looking this stuff up, even game mods get classifications. There's some Minecraft mods that have been refused classification and I even found a listing on the ACB website for a Breath of the Wild randomiser.
Even if you don't want Mario's regular voice for a movie, Martinet is still a talented voice actor capable of other voices. He's done other roles really well and should be in the movie.
E3 has basically been all digital for anyone not attending. I just hope it can live up to how exciting it usually is. The Summer Game Fest was a poor replacement as it lacked the reveals and it being all spread out made it easy to lose interest.
Never heard Sonic referred to as needlemouse until now. The explanation given makes sense and now I'm imagining some alternate universe where the character is named Sonic the Needle Mouse.

Did not know about Rime and didn't put SAWS as the seasons together.

Re: Chris Pratt Hypes The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Again), Says It's "Very Special"
Well the poster looks really good, so I've moved from caution to optimism regarding the movie. Hopefully the trailer also gives some good impressions.
Re: Toree 3D Developer Brings Super Kiwi 64 To Switch eShop This December
Super Kiwi 64 looks like my kind of game.
Also interested to see someone replicating the pre-rendered look from games like DKC.
Will keep my eye on these. Toree 3D was a lot of fun. Guess I can put my gold coins towards them.

Wonder if Home support would also come with it.

I already have them on Playstation. If they were actual ports I may have gotten them but as is I'm not interested. Don't want to think about latency issues during a KH boss fight.

Hook it to my veins. That Zozo remix was a real bop.

Re: Switch Exclusive Chocobo GP Sure Wants To Be Mario Kart, Doesn't It?
It's Final Fantasy and it's Kart racing.
I'm pumped for it.

Looking forward to NMH3.

I'm guessing the new versions of those games have the same publisher which make it possible.

All DLC gets rated simply because its adding stuff to a game that could change the classification.

There was a cancelled Chocobo Racing game for the 3DS. Wonder how much of this is inspired by that.
