@TechGuy Hmm, interesting. I didn’t vote for Trump because I am not American, but I cannot ignore such an impassioned plea from the developers. I’ll give it a miss. Thanks.
“Oi! Listen up you bludgers! How d’ya feel about gettin’ bent over all the time with this Aussie Tax™️ bulldust? How’s 89.99 bucks for Octopath Traveller doin’ for ya, ya dero? Stick that up ya clacka! Hey Robbo, pass me a cold one...”
“the cabinet features real arcade internals to run actual games on the screen.”
Real arcade internals like a PC lol. That looks like it’s running on emulators to me considering it has a front end. Also, the fact that they included the “pinball” style side buttons.
Not a big deal, just thought it was strange as it is easy to spot.
I tried to watch that, I really did. I wanted to. But after 6 minutes that bloke was still waffling on about nothing after promising to talk about the history of F-Zero multiple times. I can’t do 37 minutes of that. I don’t appreciate my time being wasted. Maybe the younger generation are in it for the “personalities”, but I just want to watch, you know...the history of F-Zero.
Back when I was young, there was always that one loser who used to be there hanging by the game kiosks everyday, like some form of bacteria. They usually smelled bad and always wanted to talk about how much they knew about games (and were wrong about everything). No matter which store, there was always one.
I’ve been wanting to play this for ages, but at $30AU for 10 hours, I’m tempted to wait for a future bundle/discount with the other games included. Mainly because I have tons of other games to play at the moment.
This game is probably in my top ten multiplayer arcade games of all time. 14 year old me would have squealed at the thought of having a portable version one day, lol.
@AnderssonKev Thanks for the info mate, I’ll definitely keep my eye on it. I really like the look and sound, I was just worried about the length. I’ll check out some hands on impressions and/or reviews.
At $20 a year, I am happy. Cloud saves, online gaming and classic games with added online features is pretty good.
Hopefully the implementation of online features is what has been holding up apps like Netflix and we can finally see them on the Switch.
The people complaining that it’s too expensive confuse me. It’s cheaper than their competitors, what more do you want? Complaining for complaining’s sake.
Super Sidekicks 2 is probably in my top 15-20 games of all time. I could not walk past the arcade cabinet without throwing in a coin. Must have spent HUNDREDS on it.
I’m yet to purchase one of these Hamster Neo Geo releases, but I don’t think I can resist this one.
If I just saw Billy Mitchell in public, like say at my local shopping mall and I didn’t know who he was, I’d think he was a massive douchebag. The hair, the garish American flag tie and pocket square. He’s one weird unit.

There is something about this game that piques my interest and I can’t quite put my finger on it. I don’t play MMOs.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 1st)
I’m addicted to The Messenger at the moment. That music really gets in your head.
Re: Review: The Messenger (Switch eShop)
I wasn’t happy with the Aussie pricing, but I couldn’t resist and bought it.
I just played through the first level and had a smile from ear to ear the whole time.
The music is so catchy!

Metroid Fusion for GBA.

Re: Aggelos Is A New Retro-Styled 2D Action-Adventure Coming To Switch This Year
I like the look of it but because it’s so new, it only has 1 Steam written review. I’ll wait for more impressions before adding this to my want list.
Re: Random: Miyamoto Greets Fans In Australia And New Zealand With Hilarious Aussie Accent
That’s cool haha, I love Miyamoto.
What he should have said is:

Re: Random: This 1/2 Scale Nintendo Arcade Cabinet Made From LEGO Is Completely Playable
“the cabinet features real arcade internals to run actual games on the screen.”
Real arcade internals like a PC lol. That looks like it’s running on emulators to me considering it has a front end. Also, the fact that they included the “pinball” style side buttons.
Not a big deal, just thought it was strange as it is easy to spot.

This is one of those losers.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Playing Chrono Trigger on NDS at the moment.
Re: Hands On: Prepare For the Fight of Your Life in Octopath Traveler
What does it mean that the game looks “soft”?
In all my years, I have never seen video game graphics described that way.
Do they mean “lacking detail”?
Genuinely confused here.
Re: Review: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection (Switch)
@Megal0maniac You think you’ve got it bad? It’s $79.95 here in Australia.
Re: Review: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection (Switch)
This is worth it just for Hyper Fighting for me. I adored that game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
I’m still plugging away at FFVI on SNES Mini. Getting very close to completion though.

Re: Legendary Eleven Brings The Golden Age Of The World Cup To Switch This June
I love the idea of this.
I don’t like the models or the animations at all.
Needs classic players, I’m guessing they’re not included as they weren’t mentioned in the trailer?
Re: Super Sidekicks 2: The World Championship
This game is probably in my top ten multiplayer arcade games of all time. 14 year old me would have squealed at the thought of having a portable version one day, lol.

Well done though!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
I’m still playing Final Fantasy 6 on SNES Mini. Enjoying it 48 hours in. I’ve never finished a FF game.
Re: Choose Your Own Adventure With Warlock Of Firetop Mountain, Coming Soon To Switch
I’ve had this on my Steam wishlist for ages. Great news! Hopefully it is comparatively priced and doesn’t include a “Switch tax”.
Re: Alwa’s Awakening Will Magic Its Way Onto Nintendo Switch This Summer
@AnderssonKev Thanks for the info mate, I’ll definitely keep my eye on it. I really like the look and sound, I was just worried about the length. I’ll check out some hands on impressions and/or reviews.
Re: Alwa’s Awakening Will Magic Its Way Onto Nintendo Switch This Summer
@TearyIsaac 8 hours sure sounds better than 4 hours. I’ll keep an eye on it, hopefully it comes with a demo.
Re: Alwa’s Awakening Will Magic Its Way Onto Nintendo Switch This Summer
@RedMageLanakyn That’s disappointing to hear. I liked the look of it, but I refuse to by sub-10 hour games. I’d rather watch a movie instead.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
Final Fantasy VI (finally!) on SNES Classic and Super Sidekicks 2 on Switch. Good times.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th May (Europe)
I’m surprised slightly more people are getting Sly Spy than Super Sidekicks 2. At this stage, anyway.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Details Of Nintendo Switch Online
@SwitchVogel $60 a month? $720 a year? You’re keen as beans lol.

Re: Feature: The 26 Best Nintendo Game Boy Games Of All Time
Mole Mania “headed up by Miyamoto itself”
“Itself”
Miyamoto is a him. He refers to himself as a he. “Himself”.
Is this political correctness gone mad or is this a slip of the tongue? The latter I’d hope. For sanity’s sake.
Re: Billy Mitchell Breaks His Silence To Address Accusations Of Cheating
@riChchestM Who’s HIV diagnosis?
Re: Billy Mitchell Breaks His Silence To Address Accusations Of Cheating
@Yorumi No. Billy Mitchell’s disputed score was set about 10-12 years ago, I believe.

Looks like a try-hard Yankified Nick Cave.
