Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Kirby Air Riders

@BaldB3lper78 Metro games coverage is typically excellent. Worth checking out. Really not what you think. If you want an idea of what scope they have, Google Metro Games of the Year for the past few years. Some of the best games coverage out there. Rest of the site is as you'd expect though.

Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)

Rainbowjames

Received an invite for the UK site today, Took several hours and a shift from my phone to my laptop to get the code system to work. Had managed to get a console from Argos last week but was after the GameCube controller. Was able to get two (one for my son too) which surprised me as I thought I could only get one with a console order. Very pleased (and lucky)

Re: Anniversary: Resident Evil 4, One Of The Greatest Games Ever Made, Turns 20

Amazing game, definitely in my all time top 10. I had the special edition Gamecube console at the time. Played the original again a couple of years ago and loved it. Had to play nothing else at the same time though as the controls really need locking into as feel pretty unnatural by modern standards. Funnily enough just finished the REmake on PS5 last night. Was incredible, somehow managed to feel both completely authentic to the original and modern at the same time. Cannot recommend it enough.

Re: Rumour: Switch "Successor" Will Be Backwards Compatible, It's Claimed

Rainbowjames

I'm quite interested to see what dock compatibility is, assuming the dock remains a factor. We have 3 switches in the house and we're not going to all be upgrading at the same time. At the moment we can all share the same dock on the main TV with the others in the kid's rooms. Be interesting to see if could use existing switches on new docks if that is what's coming.

Re: Poll: Is $60 Too Much For Nintendo's Switch Re-Releases?

Rainbowjames

I'm a UK buyer so estimating the GBP equivalents. I think generally they come in about where I'd expect for whats offered given the pricing of games. I'd pre-ordered Metroid Prime for £29.99 which felt like a great deal. Generally I use shopto.net which is typically the best. Somehow Paper Mario TTYD was under £35. The only one I've thought was taking the mickey was the Pikmin 1 + 2 set. That was over priced versus what was released.

Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?

Rainbowjames

BOTW has the advantage of coming first and blew my mind in a way I couldn't imagine from previous Zeldas. It felt the culmination of everything the Zelda concept could be. TOTK was incredible but lacked the purity of BOTW. TOTK was like a super sized BOTK meal with every extra added on whether it was good for you or not. I loved that about it but would go BOTW if pushed.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Zooms Past 60 Million Sales

Rainbowjames

That's crazy. I wonder what the figure would be if it included resales, I.e. those people who bought a second hand copy. I know that doesn't count from a Nintendo point of view but would be interesting to know how many switch owners have owned a Mario Kart copy one way or another.
