Fair play. He did it fair and square. Can’t take that away from the man, whatever your opinion of him may be.

Had this on PSVR - It’s pure joy. Going to purchase again!

Been putting a few hours in this. I’m going to outright say it. The rewind feature makes this better than the original in my opinion. I had the Amiga and Megadrive versions. Loved them - but never completed them.

I did however play and complete Fade to Black.

This game is deffo worth picking up and it’s more fun now than it ever was.

Devastated there’s no Windjammers or Neo Turf Masters. I don’t understand the constant neglect and omission Windjammers gets, given it is the defining game on the platform.

Unfortantely I’m going to skip these as I would only be interested in the rather cool Collection PS4 and XB1 owners are enjoying. I love the nostalgic bedroom hub - I also own most of these on stream.

Until the collection is released I’m holding off from purchasing any MD content on Switch (bar the collection of released).

Great review! I’m loving this collection - more so because I skipped the entire 3rd series. A new experience for me. The animation work is stunning.

I’m hoping they release 4 at some point - sure the Switch is technically capable of running it. Get to use my RAP stick more

I absolutely love the Star Fox IP, Argonaut’s first entry using Jez San’s FX chip still remains close to my heart, next to Lylat Wars.

I’m not impressed if this turns out to be the next step with the IP. Zero was close to being great and could have been a superb arcade shooter without the hammed in control method.

Just give us a Star Fox game akin to the puppet shows like Thunderbirds or Stingray, from where it was based.

Super Play’s front cover of the original promotion got it spot on.

Here’s hoping sone sort of Star Fox announcement gets made.

This is a good review but I think I’m going to pass on the game. With DOOM and the Outlast series I’m pretty happy, plus the comments of this looking sub HD have put me off.

I loved Serious Sam, Duke Nukem, PO’ed, Killing Time and Exhumed - so those are drawing me in a bit, if the game is reminiscent of those titles.

Props to the peeps who know what PO’ed and Killing Time are. #goodtimes

Loved Implosion - also a mobile to Switch port, but it was great. I loved GoF 2 and I’ll pick this up based on this review. I have manticore on iOS (ATV) but I didn’t care much for the controls. This ticks the boxes for me.

Based on my experience of the demo at EGX I purchased and I'm pleasantly surprised. I honestly haven't played FIFA for years. The 3DO and 98 version was my last stint. I've dipped back in on the Switch and I'm having fun so far.

I'm not a hardcore FIFA player so make of my comments what you like. But I'm impressed with it. The PS4 and Xbox versions look better, but as I don't own those consoles I'm happy to go the Switch route.

Love food, love Switch. This is the perfect sandwich! See what I did!

Hell yes I'll be watching. It looks so good so far. Hope it lives up to the trailer. 👍

Commendable they put effort into the ignite engine, but didn't Nintendo say the Switch was a home console first, not a portable. EA said this is a portable.

Think they could have done better. But I'll pick it up as a good footy game is always welcome.

This is a great review, only in as much as I totally agree with what you've said! The issue I've always had with NAM is the control scheme - not great, and purposefully so I expect. It's a mechanic that promotes coin pumping.

Ah, a good ol' coin pump. Those were the days!

@Menchi187 only just spotted this now! Yeah, off looks best to me too as the lines are crisp. I own the originals, MVS on cabinet. The blur filter is awful and I actually thought it was a terrible conversion/emulation.

As it is, all the titles are great except for Slug 3 which runs with some frame rate issues. Other than that, they are great. Wish online play was an option, but one can dream!

All I need is Einjammers! 😭

Looking forward to it.

Often unappreciated it's these little intricacies of design built into the aesthetics that show you how far console gaming has come. It also shows you how much care and afterthought has gone into the product not only from an ergonomic point of view - but the guts of the system itself, much like the WiiU, is impressive in it's power management.

This is a company that is conscious of the user, environment and overall experience.

The kickstand I suspect is just the tip of the iceberg. Nintendo really keen to avoid another "Wiimote killed my TV" controversy.

@maceng it's the best iteration of street fighter for me personally - it fits well for the play style of the Switch which is pick up and go. But the control method will be an issue unfortunately. Joy cons lack of d-pad spell trouble.

We need to see a more diverse commitment. Not from the sports division. Something from the ground up to get Switch gamers excited, and to get gamers excited about EA.

Adore this game, it's fitting it comes to the Switch. But the price needs to be right and it will be interesting to see how the younger gamers will take to the older format.
