Holy. THIS is what I've been wishing for more than anything else since said game came to PC. My only concern now is we get a solid port akin Diablo III and not what we got with Bloodstained.
Why's everyone talking rubbish over s-video? My only complaint and reason I definitely WON'T be picking up this product is price. £150 is WAY too rich for my blood.
@HexagonSun agree entirely. The d-pad of the pro was misaligned or something that it kept registering down input when I didn't press it. So while this pad LOOKS great I'm going to pass (sadly) for fear of being burned twice.
Proof if ever it was needed that the majority don't want innovation, new and original ideas, instead more of the same as was previous. Sequels with little imagination amounting more to DLC continue to occupy the minds of the many.
@Moon never heard of Integral? Maybe not 'the best' name in SD cards but certainly an experienced and we'll respected company. At the end of the day however these SD cards can't be guaranteed on forever.
@sleepinglion GC runs genuinely flawless/native on a modded Wii which can be picked up for £20. As for Saturn. Yes. Honestly however I find it's library of games either dated or it's arcade ports now available elsewhere better.
The important part of NS is NOT it's chipset but Nintendo being on board. The new Shield TV could be a powerhouse of CPU and RAM, means next to nothing without strong software support.
I'm a sucker for Nintendo officially themed, but, to echo others, this sits INSIDE the Switch. You'll never even see the nice albeit safe design. Big pass.
Look at the recent Dragons Trap remake. Now look at this. Now look at the recent Dragons Trap remake. My God. Whereas Dragons Trap (for example) is clearly a labour of love, this what we have here looks a hasty do-over. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong if I should get my hands on it.
Massive appreciation and respect for the N64. That launch with Mario 64 and that controller, genre defining. It changed the landscape and set the blueprint for not just 3D platformers but all 3D videogames. Goldeneye remains arguably the finest couch multiplayer to date. Ocarina was pure magic.
I don't know, but I haven't seen anything yet to put it inline with Castlevanias best. Looks sadly more another quick move to jump on the nostalgia train.
Best Bubsy games is the first, slightly better on Megadrive but SNES version plays almost as well. Having said that, it's terribly unforgiving, one hit deaths and the like.
If it's the AWFUL PS2 port. Pass. Looks like it probably is sadly. Shame really as while it's never been a great game still deserves a good port and not this copy and paste affair.
I have both 1, 2 and 3 for the 3DS. I actually prefer them to Pokémon as I favour the battle mechanic in Yo-Kai. Games packed with variety, charm and polish.
I already own Sonic and Outrun on 3DS. I'll likely pickup up Thunder Force and Phantasy Star even if I'm not a fan of shmups and RPGs respectively, but I'm always down for supporting M2 (developer). These ports are crafted with so much care and attention it actually trump's real hardware imo.
I'd genuinely be up for a good cricket game. Don't like watching cricket, but, I seem to remember some genuinely enjoyable cricket videogames of past, on the Amiga if memory serves me right. Besides, for all the naysayers, better a cricket game than ANOTHER American 'Football' clone.

It's what I've been saying for ever! You don't need an Advance Wars sequel, you never did.

Re: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Will Be A GameStop Exclusive In The United States
I played it originally on PS3. Decent but nothing more. Unless I hear this here remaster is exemplary I'll give it a wide berth.

Re: We're In Awe Of Hori's Massive DAEMON X MACHINA-Themed Switch Joy-Con
NEED! And I don't even like the look of X Machina, not that I'm sure it can't be great, just not my style/taste.
Re: Atooi Collection Keeps The 3DS Alive By Throwing Five Games On One Physical Cart
Pedantic I know, but this is really 4 games, not 5. Still, happy to see 3DS get some deserving focus.
Re: SpongeBob Squarepants Battles For Bikini Bottom Again Next Year On Switch
Actually a very enjoyable game. I look forward to seeing how this plays out.

Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Nintendo Direct Airing Tomorrow, 15th May
@Savino this game amounts to about 3-4 "proper Mario's".
Re: Super Nintendo Emulator Brings HD To Mode 7 Retro Classics
If this could have been used on the Super NT via flashcarts that would be incredible. Sadly I'm told it's impossible.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd May (Europe)
Ok. Time to admit Celeste will NEVER been included as part of these sales. Damnit.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Analysis Of Cuphead On The Nintendo Switch
Pure witchcraft. That or talented, caring and industrious developers, unlike some - not naming names...cough EA, Unisoft cough
Re: Feature: 10 Games We’d Like To See Come To Labo VR
@chardir yes, but, Amazon? Maybe a business which isn't set-up in a manor to avoid paying taxes would be more palatable.
Re: Feature: 10 Games We’d Like To See Come To Labo VR
You really, really can't help yourselves, can you NL? Any excuse to create Amazon affiliated links. Shameless.

Re: Japanese Trailers Show Off More Details Of The Upcoming Sega Mega Drive Mini
@Onion while I agree almost entirely, honestly, for me the fact M2 are onboard is more important than even the games lineup.
Re: Bubsy: Paws On Fire! Comes To Switch In May Whether You Want It To Or Not
Best Bubsy games is the first, slightly better on Megadrive but SNES version plays almost as well. Having said that, it's terribly unforgiving, one hit deaths and the like.
Re: Feature: 17-BIT On Galak-Z: The Void, Nintendo Switch And Future Projects
Galak-Z was GREAT on PS4. Switch deserved likewise. Sadly what we get is a shallow gimped affair.

Re: Yo-Kai Watch 4 Finally Gets A Solid Release Date, In Japan At Least

Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Switch Controllers
This again. Nothing to do with best controller but just all controllers linked to Amazon, unscrupulous business it is. Thanks NL.
