Been playing it solidly for the past month and having a blast.

I remember I couldn't get it for months in Northern Ireland as it was sold out everywhere, even got scammed on ebay trying to get a copy of it. When I finally got it my expectations were ridiculously high but it still managed to surpass them.

The perfect pacing, the action, the hilarious one liners, Leon being both a complete dork and badass at the same time. Simply the best game ever made.

This is getting seriously boring now.

Take a break NL.

How about some reviews of the 25 million games that come out every week on eshop?

RE4 2005 is the best game ever made.

Been playing it again for the past month and it is peerless. Also the most fun new game plus of any game.

Were people really expecting 4K natively on a mobile device expected to compete with Xbox and PS5?

I just hope there is an option to turn if off as I still game on a plasma TV and will until it dies so no need for upscaling.

100% I love all the work Nightdive Studios does and long may it continue.

Here's one for them: Body Harvest.

@Toastmaster

I may have to finally become a PC gamer if that's the case and Nintendo and others won't provide an alternative.

@Toastmaster

That would be amazing, loved that game back in the day!

@Toastmaster

Really it is just a pipe dream of mine as I think Nightdive are masters of their craft when it comes to remastering games from that era.

Finally being able to play Turok 2 at 60fps as opposed to 5fps (it really got that bad on N64) is glorious.

I will say it again, Nintendo should be on the blower to NightDive Studios and have them give all N64 games their HD remaster treatment.

All the N64 games would benefit massively from improved framerates, HD sheen and widescreen support.

@Grumblevolcano

I think the Switch OLED was meant to be the fabled Switch Pro but for whatever reason it just became the OLED (I say just but I love mine).

After what will be 8 years I'm ready for a proper successor.

@GrailUK

Merry Christmas!

@GrailUK

Educated guess.

Maybe don't follow up the incredibly sussessful hybrid console which has resulted in unifying all your handheld and home console studios to then split your business again with an experimental home console and a new 3DS type handheld when the majority just want a more powerful backwards compatible Switch.

My prediction it would be a disaster isn't exactly far fetched.

Thankfully Switch 2 is what we are getting.

@Grumblevolcano

That would be a sales disaster of Wii U proportions.

@Xenoblade-Fan

People who watch The Game Awards is a fraction of the buying public.

I watched it for the first time this year, won't be making that mistake again.

@Friendly

It better. I'm ready for it.

Good to see Stray in the charts and Switch getting a healthy portion of most of the third party titles on the system. Bodes well for Switch 2.

People will know it isn't a Nintendo title because it doesn't cost 50 quid!

Yes, all the games look the same.

Yet somehow still incredibly underwhelming.

And I like NSO!

The equivalent of a Famitsu review. Pointless.

Although the comments after films that are straight up undeniable disasters are always fun where they all try and spin something positive out of the mess.

Aww yeah baby, the GOAT!

@shiftbarackyeaugh

"etc" doing a lot of heavy lifting for me!

@WheresWaveRace

Wave Race 64 is still the best water based racing game ever made!

What I would give for a 60fps HD remaster with HD rumble....

@Xenoblade-Fan

Zelda on Swich has become a bit oversaturated (not it alone).

Nintendo needs to diversify a bit more next gen for me.

Star Fox, F Zero, Wave Race, Pilotwings etc.

Let's see that bag of IP fully utilised.

Regardless of your views on EAFC it bodes well it has been selling so well on Switch as it shows the viability of third party titles leading into Switch 2 next year.

Sony must be disappointed by the bombing of Lego Horizon but by all accounts it is not a "proper" Lego game so they seemingly missed the point.

Lego Horizon didn't hang around did it?

That would have been an interesting split to see but I guess zero into two is still zero.

I find the search options on Switch eshop more robust than Xbox or PS but the lag absolutely kills it.

Don't care about user reviews, something is either the best thing ever or the worst and ergo completely useless.

Wow a whole 2 months?! After release?!

You are really spoiling us!

The framerate is still an unlocked mess in that clip with most of it under 30fps.

Big whoop.

Credits added?

@carlos82

Yes if anything it is a boon for NSO.

@the_beaver

I noticed it from the very first trailer.

I'll wait to see if there is a Switch 2 patch.

No 60fps, no purchase.

I'm simply not buying a remaster that performs worse than the original.

@Polvasti

Oh! RIP Vangelis

@Uncle_Franklin

Think it is called Kannon's Klanking here.

Better hope Vangelis don't listen to this one.

Nintendo might get a taste of their own medicine!

Well that sub title was certainly cherry picked.

I'm in.

Also unlike PS Plus or Game Pass, NSO actually offers things not otherwise available whilst being much cheaper.

That's how you do it.

OK this app is actually BLOODY BRILLIANT!

@Samalik

And the people yapping about this "censorship" are what exactly?

@Rooty

Whole heartedly disagree.

I'll just stick to the excellent Night Dive remasters.

Here is an idea Nintendo, give Night Dive access to the entire N64 catalogue of games (including first party) for the remaster treatment. Easy money.

Resident Evil 4 is the best game ever made.

That's all.

@Euler

There is no way it isn't coming before 2026.

Iconic trailer.

They conveyed in one 4 minute video what the Switch was entirely.

In a full E3 event Nintendo couldn't explain what the Wii U was and even after.

I still don't expect a Swtich 2 reveal until the new year as Nintendo can make a lot of money with a final push for the Switch this Christmas.

There are still two major problems with the Switch online catalogue.

1. They need to provide an option to get rid of thoss awful side borders on all games.

2. Customisable controls for each individual game ala Wii U.

Surely these are not that hard to implement?

P.S. And give me Diddy Kong Racing already!

Some people have too much time on their hands.

Or is it money?!

Or now both?!?!

@GMMXX

Ya wha?

@martynstuff

Great post.

Leaves a seriously bad taste in the mouth but as you say Nintendo are limited in what they can do to stop it.

@WiltonRoots

Interesting, may have to try the no music thing for a more horror filled vibe closer to Halloween!

I think the Doom 1 and 2 releases on modern platforms are some of the best value in gaming. They each cost me 3 quid or something and just keep getting more free content and improvements.

Have they turned the music volume up?

The last update quietened it significantly.
