This arrived for me yesterday and as soon as I'm done with work I'm starting it. Cannot wait!

@N00BiSH

Yeah, I know. It would need some modification which is probably too much effort. But it would be (at least one) killer game for this.

This is cool. If this gets Sonic The Fighters and SegaSonic The Hedgehog I may have to consider it.

I pre-ordered this last week on a whim after watching the teaser video on Nintendo's YouTube channel. It just looked like my sort of game right now. Can't wait to play it.

Do people still have the phones that these fit?

I really hope we can travel freely and without fear by the time this opens!

I got to a point in the demo where nothing seemed to happen and I couldn't figure out what to press. Not sure if it crashed but I just lost interest after that. I found the presentation peculiar and not particularly inviting.

@CupidStunt Malpractice. Scream! Have you been watching American courtroom dramas or something?

At worst it’s just bad organisation. And a life lesson for the backers (and Platinum) on how the financial / commerce world works.

It should be part of the standard template for physical rewards on Kickstarter, frankly. I’m more surprised at them than some Japanese company that’s never had to deal with publishing anything themselves before.

@CupidStunt Me? A fanboy? I couldn’t give to sh*ts about this game. I did not buy it, and don’t intend to. What I am raging about is people like you that don’t understand how life works and then blame companies that have nothing to do with it.

The sheer entitlement. The lack of knowledge. Far too much!

Who already paid for postage? Import duty is
NOT postage. You know what VAT is, yes? When you import goods into the UK you bypass VAT and so the GOVERNMENT charge you this for importing something into the UK. The courier company have to declare this and administrate the charges. It is the law.

@CupidStunt My comment has no logic? We would pay custom charges on all games if we purchased them from outside UK or EEA. If you’re in the UK you don’t pay custom charges on games you buy from retailers in the UK because they’ve already been imported and are already in the UK. Are you being stupid on purpose?

I don’t get why the need a clause in the backer T&Cs anyway. It’s nothing to do with them.
If you’re buying stuff some outside the country in which you’d normally pay a tax for the item then customs will charge you. It’s basic knowledge for your average citizen.

Kickstarter should not have to spell out the rules of living in your own country.

Like I said before though, they could arrange to pay the custom fees or charge you the custom fees in advance. But that’s more work for them. Not every retailer does this either so I can only assume it’s not the easiest of things to manage.

I’m confused why UK people expect not to pay import duties when ordering from countries outside the EU?

Also this article suggests it’s only because they shipped from the US. Would import duties not also be due if they shipped from Japan or China? I’m pretty sure you do.

I know a lot of companies let you pay for this in advance, so you can avoid the annoying additional admin fee that Royal Mail often charge you. This should me something Kickstarter offers.

Can someone give me the abridged version of why Tencent is bad please?

I mean, I've no intention of playing this game, but not because of Tencent. It just doesn't look like my cup of tea.

I'm pretty sure I had Pac-Land on the Atari Lynx. Far superior version of a very average game. I'm disappointed that these are all NES version to be honest.

Were we watching the same presentation? I thought it looked pretty basic.

The water as Wailord was surfacing was awful. The apple that had only two states of being eaten. The rest of world looked nice but it was all fairly static. I'm sure it will improve. The "not actual gameplay footage" disclaimer made it obvious they're probably very early on in development.

What I'm really starting to get fed up with is how every Pokemon of the same species looks absolutely identical. Not every tabby cat looks the same.

Hmmm, why is not called a Pokemon Direct?

So it's Diner Dash but with zombies (and some different job styles).

Nah, Sony be paying them hush money that's NDA'd to hell and back. Otherwise why do we not have any Persona games on Switch yet? 3 or 4 or ripe for conversion.

Or maybe they're not confident in there conversion skills? Maybe they don't want the expense of paying a specialist company.

Maybe they are about to be announced?

I remember getting something similar the previous Paper Mario game on Wii U. I'd rather pay £5 less and not have these extras tbh, though maybe 10-15 years ago I'd have bought these.

@Krisi Thank you. That was why I was so confused by it!

Can someone explain what this feature is for exactly?

From E3 last year there were loads of blank game pages listed as Ubisoft Switch Game 3 or similar...

Yeah, it really isn't bad, but it just feels extremely unpolished. I noticed on some holes it's pointing the the flag you're aiming for is in fact on a different hole entirely, for example.

Unless they also have something to announce about Metroid Prime 4, this isn't coming any time soon. We've got all the Mario stuff coming. And Pikmin 3.

So i've only ever had two pair of joy-cons but I've never had drifting issues. Guess I'm just lucky.

Ugh, please don't give PETA the column inches. They are absolutely awful.

Yeaaaahhhhh, no... Those implementations of the powerups are awful....

Oh wow, they actually got Peter Weller to do the voice?! That's awesome... Makes you wonder why they couldn't get Arnie...

Rygar is a massive nostalgia rush for me. Though I played it on the Atari Lynx and not the NES, I'm still interested in this.

Logic Bomb is the only game I've not played so I'll certainly be giving that a go, too.

Wild Guns is such a great game. Really typifies that era of gaming in terms of looks, sounds, style.

Panel de Pon... meh...

I'm gonna use these as my Zoom background at work meetings! HA!

Suddenly I want to Tom Nook to invite me over for a bit of Nookflix and Chill

Hopefully the sports games will be Wii Sport levels of excellent. I'm glad I'll have this.

It's incredible how they went from Wii levels of success to Wii U levels of doom in a generation of hardware.

Do you remember when they said the NGPC was going to connect to the Dreamcast in the same way GBA connected to the Gamecube?

I hope this means we'll get some more NGPC games coming to Switch. I had a good collection back in the day. NGPC Sonic was great.

Cool. The NGPC fighters all have a really distinctive style. Did that game that emulated that style ever see the light of day?

EA are all about money. There's no way Google didn't throw money at EA for these games. Nintendo are not interested in throwing money at Electronic Arts.

I can guarantee Nintendo do not care one bit.

I'd imagine this is also because these games can easily be ported to Stadia. Sadly, with Nintendo consoles being a little underpowered compared to Xbox and PS4, some retooling always needs to be done to get them up and running on Switch and that could be a lot of work potentially. EA aren't interested in doing that regardless of the number of Switches sold.

Also, I bet EA are still bitter that Nintendo didn't use their network services for Wii U.

I hope we get some SEGA AGES Streets of Rages when 4 comes out.

Streets of Rage 1 is the best video game soundtrack ever, for me.

So what was the interest rate and what is it now? I read so many conflicting reports.

I'm going to be contrary here and say I think the pixelated characters look fantastic. Especially with the added lighting effects on them.

I've not had one shooting star in the game.

This is wiping out my fish bait stash. Is there any way to work out what the prizes are and how many points you have in total?

Sorry Nintendo, I use Dettol anti-bac wipes because the Switch is a grease magnet and a soft cloth isn't going to clean anything at all. If I've been eating and/or preparing food I always wash my hands before playing but I swear the marks after a gaming sessions are horrendous. Maybe I just have really sweaty fingers.

I have such a soft spot for this series of games ever since playing SOS The Final Escape on PlayStation 2 many many years back. Mine is arriving this week all being well.

I love the Fatal Frame games. I have Project Zero on Wii and Wii U and would love to see the games on Switch. A remaster of the Wii Project Zero 2 could work well.

Wow they're ugly.

This is great because its the type of game that my non-gaming friends would join me on when they're round having drinks.

That the Wii only sold 12 million in Japan sort of amazes me as well. Next stop is surpassing Super Famicom sales which are at 17 million.

This looks very similar in style to that a game Nintendo published on the 3DS. It was eShop then had a deluxe physical release. Aaargh, can't remember it's name.

So why don’t they make eggs on a timer instead of needing less distance?

Incense being cheaper and more effective is a good idea.

For every 30 mins of screen time, Pelipper should deliver items from your nearest Pokestop or something. HA!

I wonder what this means for the upcoming Pokemon Safari Zone events? Luckily I can cancel my hotel for the Liverpool event but I’d be worried if I couldn’t.
