It's absolutely stupid here in the UK our cinemas released these a week before the movie came out and well after I had pre-ordered my ticket for the first showing of the movie today. Obviously they had sold out of the Yoshi buckets so I didn't get one.
I started this and played adventure mode but it’s really not fun. It’s just repetitive and complicated. So instead I’m playing Blue Prince and Bowser’s Fury. Lol.
I thought I’d finished this and don’t remember any DLC. I loved the game so happy for a definitive version but it’s Sega so it’ll be a Game Key Card and that can get lost.
When using the Switch 2 with the VB replica the outer edges of the screen image are blurred. I have to physically move my face up and down to get them into view. It's very annoying. It's fine when playing the actual VB games, but the Switch UI like the game selection screen or control customisation screens you can't see them everything at once. It's weird.
Anybody else finding the the edges of the screen aren’t in view when playing on the Switch 2 using the Virtual Boy replica? I have to adjust my view to see the everything on the main VB menu screen, controls screen etc. The games are fine as they don’t take up the whole screen. The adjustment screen size only affects the VB games themselves, not the Switch user interface.
It's sad, but it was already struggling before Fraser Group took it over. I bought my Gamecube, Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance and SP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii and original Nintendo 3DS at Game stores.
So what happens if you just remove the red lens anyway before this option launches? Does it go greyscale or will it still be red?What's the point of the red lens then?
I don't really get it. It's the only brick that has lights and sound. Will this be provided in specific sets or do you have to buy this separately, and it'll attach into other lego sets? Will you end up with loads of them. Will they all be 2x4 bricks or will they come in multiple shapes?
I am in to this on Day One! Back in the Noughties, I bought a Virtual Boy off eBay sealed but it didn't work. Was gutted. So I've never been able to play one. So I'm really all in here.
I've got both the cardboard and replica and I will be playing EVERY game. I might even take couple of days off work to celebrate! Lol. It'll feel like having a a whole new system! And I always take days off for those.
I will be buying the Switch 1 version of this game in that case. I don't care if the Switch 2 version is different. Not interested in a Game Key Card thank you very much.
"Do physical items outside of digital products last forever? Most of the time, they don’t, right? Physical things always have a lifespan and will eventually break. Digital products, on the other hand, generally don’t have a lifespan."
Rubbish, people are still able to play their NES games if they've taken care of them. They're surprisingly hardy. Sure, battery backup might fail, but can be fixed.
Digital items, as the articles says, last only as long as the service is provided unless you have them downloaded to your own storage. And even then you can't guarantee you'll be able to play that game because those consoles often require a connection check you have a licence.
The only good thing about Game Key Cards is that you can sell them on. But that's generally not what I'm interested in doing so as far as I'm concerned I'm never buying one.
Oh I didn’t realise you HAD to buy these to play the games? Why aren’t they just in regular 2D for those that don’t want to buy them? I get you might not be able to get the most out of the games if they’re not in 3D.
That is dumb. I guess that’s why they’ve released the cheaper cardboard one.
This is £10 DLC if that. They used to give this kind of content away for free. The game came out o my two months ago and already has paid DLC. Definitely not buying it at this price.
I tried Hollow Knight. I don't know how far I got. But I started getting lost and I think gave up because the enemy in the way of where I think I need to go is just too difficult for me. But this might convince me to give it another go and if I do better then maybe I will eventually buy this.
£1 to upgrade to the Switch 2 version? Sure, I'll pay that. Turns out there were five additional anomalies and those anomalies weren't particularly exciting. The graphics do look a LOT better. The movement feels much smoother. But there's still this awful fuzziness around any kind of movement and the posters being so blurry at a short distance is disappointing. It's really enjoyed this game though when I played it on Switch and enjoyed this quick little run-through again. I was hoping we'd maybe get a trailer for the movie or something. It's apparently still looking for distribution outside of Japan but I may need to hunt that down as I'm desperate to watch it. I hope that the new game this developer is making appears on Switch 2. Platform 8 is also really good. Highly recommend that too.
I just really couldn't get on the with the controls. I think I would do better if I could play on a desk but my legs or chair arms just aren't quite right for me.
I'm just not buying a game on a game key card or download code - I would rather buy it direct from the eShop and then I'll only do that if it's on a good sale price. Had the games actually been on the card I would have bought Sonic and Yakuza, definitely. And possibly Hitman.
