Feels like we're voting on travelling fairground rides rather than games this week

Call me when you've found a playable Bolson. That's the people's choice.

My favourite thing about these characters is that Pearl and Marina are the two women in Howard's life in Last of the Summer Wine.

I'd like to think that Nintendo HQ is full of secret fans. Miyamoto laughing away while Compo and Clegg go down a hill in a bathtub.

At the time of the original release, the story in the press was that the pixelated splashes were the original intention (and so present in EU and Japan) and that the blood splatter was a marketing decision for the US audience.

Like angry Kirby.

Have we collectively decided that that story wasn't true at some point?

Q: HOW DO YOU GET PIKACHU ON THAT BUS?

Glad it's not just me with the tagline then.

Imagining it said in a Matt Berry voice is also good value.

To be fair, "Nnnngggh!" is the noise I usually make as well when I'm struggling with a 'giant log'.

Oh my word, that's the best sub-headline you have ever done.

@Bobb Thank you! Although I have just looked up what the unlock criteria are, and... gulp. I'm a long way off that. I only really play Spirit Board!

@Danny429 Isn't it just until you play the next bout, then it goes back to the main theme again? If I'm wrong, please teach me your ways, at which point it'll be wall-to-wall Donkey Kong Country Bonus Room Remix until the end of time.

I really wish I could set the default menu music permanently to one of the other amazing tracks in the game. I'm pig-sick of that tune, it's not as good as they seem to think it is. It's almost up there with Marvel vs Capcom 2 in terms of annoying.

This headline has ruined me, I now want my "Sheik and Boo" game.

SHEIK AND BOO: MOTORCYCLE COPS

Oh boy, that North American cover. "And so Dr. Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home."

@LankyMikStanky I started replaying Metal Gear Rising recently and realised that I cannot think of a game with a better opening level. It's just the best kind of ridiculous.

Bit sad that the poll has forgotten Infinite Space. That was a funny old game; I really loved the idea but struggled to get into it. But if they did a new one I'd give it another shot!

(Same comment as I made on an article back in June, for the one lost soul who picked up on it)

tiiiiiiiime.

Suprised that so many people wanted Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Has everyone forgotten that both games are a bit knackers?

Half of the bosses self destruct, and there are big chunks of the game (the much-hyped snowboard, and I'm looking at you in particular, stupid yellow laser hoop tube in Death Egg Zone Act 2) where you can just put the joypad down and walk off and do something else.

Somewhere, Chakan: The Forever Man is weeping at being forgotten.

I haven't played Shovel Knight (at least not yet, sorry!) but I'm super disturbed by what happens at 1:00 in that video. How come he can jump on the head of an enemy with a rotor blade on top? Old school platformer instincts tell me that that should be instant damage...

@Shiryu Maybe everyone is Team Ash.

"Elevator"! Or lift. Whichever.

They clearly get it. This game'll be fine.

They should let Lizardcube have a crack at it.

@Gs69 Good knowledge! I stand corrected.

I am more annoyed than is really warranted by that Master System-y background on the article's picture...

If I was a developer called Yu Sasaki I think I'd be making games with names like RunOut or Shemnoo. Or Hold-On.

I wouldn't be able to help myself.

Space Harry.
AfterBernard.

If I remember rightly this was cross platform. There was a full fat version on PS4/Xbox One/PC where the Alien had the fancy dynamic artificial intelligence.

And then there was a PS3/Xbox 360 version where it didn't.

Which one is this based off?

Probably not completely unintentional. The series' creator picked the Switch as his luxury item on Desert Island Discs:

Plus one of his music picks was the theme from RoboCop on the GameBoy, which is objectively correct.
