Why was watching opening a box so exciting? Especially knowing the ending...

We all knew this with the way Byleth was introduced. No funny cutscene. The 'I know it may not be the character you want' comment. Bet he wanted Klonoa (or Vyse)...

Oh geez... just give me a physical game and leave me be ...

Love Fire Emblem bet even I'll admit this is very disappointing. Got my FE fix with Three Houses, the still very wonderful FE warriors, which both have their own game passes. And then there's the FE fighters already in Smash. Very strange way to make people more guarded about buying Season 2 in one go. And I'm a fan!

His Smash Bros were sometimes hit and miss but these are all perfect.

I hear what people are saying but they're not all bad. Got an xbox bundle with about 4 games including Red Dead 2 physical and Forza Horizon 4 download. Deal was online. Went to Thornaby Teesside Park Game and deals instore were slightly different instore and a bit - about a tenner - more expensive. However they were happy to honour the online deal. Not only that when I mentioned in passing that I already had the cheapest game, Prey, in the bundle but was still a good deal they offered to swap it with the cheapest game from another bundle, Dishonored semi-sequel. So not that big a deal but things like that make a difference and just can't be done online. Getting into mobiles was dumb though. I think CEX need to be careful. I often see them handing out couple hundred quid for phones, but rarely anyone buying for a couple hundred...

Awright! Eureka Seven is awesome. Now I want the game..

There's 7 Hamster arcade archives games I don't own on sale, so while everyone else is happily playing a 5 year old port, I'll be in bliss with my 30+ year ports.

Sobble all the way

Nice to see a director genuinely thankful to his movies fans.

@Sabrewing I can't believe they're still stuck on the original Xbox. They're so good and unique.

Klonoa is my favourite videogame character ever ( well a tie with MegaMan Zero). And what with Grandia being my favourite game ever and Final Fantasy 8 being my favourite FF game, this is getting freaky. Seeing as the gods are looking down on me can I plese have:

Skies of Arcadia

Baten Kaitos 2 (new game)

Otogi 1+ 2 and a new game

Project Gotham 5 new game

Fragile Dreams Farewell Ruins of the Moon (HD enhanced and controls reworked port)

Pangya Golf with Style

Phantom Crash sequel

Jet Set Radio Future

and GORF!

Great list. Yes it includes compilations and ports, but unlike other lists, every single game here is excellant. Could easily have a Top 100 without a dud. Def Jam, PN03, Donkey Konga/Jungle, Lost Kingdom II, and Billy Hatcher, need some loving. Special mention to the R:Racing limited double disc edition which included the first ever release of Pac-Man VS.

While the wii u, ps3 and 360 have been relegated upstairs; my Gamecube is proudly hooked up to the main living room TV alongside the Xbox one, PS4, and Switch. By far my fave console with some of the greatest games ever. Skies of Arcadia, Monkey Ball, Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphony, Def Jam, Metal Gear Twin Snakes, and that's before we get into first party stuff. Phenomenal

Yea it looks like a purse. Why complain? Clearly targeted at girls.

Sounds like a test case with CapCom then going after every videogame company. A rumble when in close proximity to other characters? Don't make me laugh. It'll be based on patents that are produced based on every possible outcome when a new product or process, in this case rumble, being applied. Good luck chasing Nintendo, MicroSoft, and Sony.

To be truthful it could have been worse. I'm UK so can't get into whether the ... really excessive!... online bashing is justified. Much of this has to do with online retailers, which affects all stores, but GameStop is hit twice with digital sales. If anything the number closing is relatively small compared to the number it has. And while people are saying things like 'should close down completely' there must be many happy customers. And comparing online prices to groundstep retail is not really justified. The overheads on groundstep are phenomenal. Hopefully employees in the stores affected will get support from GameStop in finding new employment.

At £30 deffo. Can other publishers take note. We will happily pay full price if you price the game sensibly. Loved the last line btw, 'Pay once. Play forever'.

Have the GameBoy Colour versions which can be played on my GameCube with the GBA Player, so why do I still want this? I may have a problem...

Like a lot of comments I do feel this was released wrong time. A post Christmas January release may have been better. New games are sparse and kids have money burning a hole in their pocket.

Even I will admit the way the reviewer skips over microtransactions deep in the review is somewhat suspect...

@XAHydra it was in a recent edition of Edge magazine, though they specifically mentioned MegaDrive/Genesis cartridges. I think it was issue 334 'This Month in Edge' section.

@DarthFoxMcCloud got a few of these games but there's reports that people are starting to see the cartridge roms starting to stop functioning after a couple decades so one wonders if many of us will have blank cartridges in a few years if true

Class game. But do I keep my original snes copy or sell it...

People need to play the KoF seies and especially Garou

Gotta admit , with Duke, this is lookin' tasty. And, at last!, a publisher who knows how to price an older game on Switch. Hope it plays well.

Given the Blade Strangers update, tempted

Neat. Hopefully they won't realise Vasara was underpriced and we'll get the same kinda deal. Or they may keep same price when people took a chance on Vasara when those reviews came in with the decent price on top.

Without prices this list is a bit, well a lot, useless unfortunately

The more things change...

Weirdly I think I have physical copies of all the Dragon Quest games, barring X. Although based in UK I got the first three games from a local games shop in the early 2000s. 1 and 2 are on one GBC cartridge with 3 on a GBC catridge by itself. This was before Dragon Quest in the West was a thing, and actually called Dragon Warriors. Just as luckily picked up the first three Legend of Heroes PSP games in the mid 2000s from the same, a series whose last three Cold Steel games have just come out on PS4. Pity no more indie games shops around. Movie looks class too...

Shame Hamster is being dumped in the 'also released' pile - especially in the week X Multiply is released. It wasn't so long ago that there would be weeks when Hamster titles were the only things worth getting...

@oji can ask how this works as I have that fightstick but it has the wii feed rather than usb - the mayflash on amazon doesnt mention wii

My blue left joycon drifted very badly. It was kinda shocking to see a recalibration attempt just had the check dot drift to the outer left circle and stubbornly refuse to move. Has put me off getting a Lite.

Love the wii u. Love all the turbo grafx stuff and other virtual console stuff.

This looks awesome

If can get these for £35 then sold. While they kinda screw up portability, a handheld with decent man size controls? Gimme now...

The original Grandia is my top favourite game ever. It's one of the very few PS1 games I've never traded in having the beautiful original character picture CDs version (collectors beware as the game was reissued as text only CDs). A definte buy for the HD, especially as I got the first two Syberia games in the recent Switch sale and was astonished how much differenc the HD made.

THQ Nordic now have pre-promoting their old IPs down to a fine art - even the recent kerfuffle was VERY quickly forgotten. It's been fun guessing but who knew the likes of Sphinx would review better now than they did back in the day. But c'mon - give us TimeSplitters trilogy as one release!

Wowzers. If you're trying to get in gamers good books again, well it just might work

Guilty Gears and Castlevania for me

Did not realise till I read this thread that you also have access to the Japanese games if you had set up a Japanese account. It took literally 2 minutes from reading that to downloading the Japanese online - which takes seconds - to having access to the games! Japanese boxart is awesome. Only problem is the horific organisation. Been carefully curating the UK site when games released with certain groups of games given their own line. Man does this service need Wii U style folders (and Wii U style manuals natch). Weird how the Wii U homepage looks more modern, is easier to access, and much more comprehensive than the Switch counterpart.

Had a look at my copy of Jet Set Radio Future and the game manual warranty is for Microsoft, not Sega. Checked other original Xbox games and the warranty is always the games publisher. So OutRun 2 warranty is Sega, Toca 2 warranty is CodeMasters and, yes, Halo warranty is Microsoft. However, Jet Set Radio Future was a console exclusive, so fair enough, but still having the warranty be Microsoft rather than Sega may be unusual, especially at that time. It's possible that a very tight exclusivity rather than the commomly referred to music rights, has held back release of this most requested game. And if that's the case Sega (who love the Switch) could possibly do a CupHead style agreement with Microsoft to get 'Future on the Switch made by the Ages guys. E3 2019 announcement? Even if reaching it's becoming increasingly likely that Nintendo / Microsoft are gonna make some kind of joint announcement at E3, and probably in relation to Microsoft basically providing the Switch's Live service. But if so would it be Nintendo paying them a huge fee, a percentage of sales, or something else entirely (based around cloud gaming)?

The ideas are interesting but man those sure are ugly controllers. I've never come up with anything so vile when messing about in Xbox Design Lab.

Brilliant game havit on wii u

Check site - WEAR YOUR WORLD! - check shipping - We only ship to US. ... You know, just... ahh fugeddabouit ...

GX is awesome. Though did get RedOut for the Xbox One in the recent sale. And ... Wow! Though it lacks characters and some of the more absurd F Zero tracks it's groovily sublime. HD spectacle with one of the best soundtracks, like a 90s throwback with modern threads.

Another wii u owner who didn't double dip. Plays as awesome as on the Switch so no point. Also why don't have Bayonetta, Donkey Kong and Toad. And though I love the Switch, the GamePad is way more robust for man hands and accidentky sleeping on.

Wasn't too interested till I saw the wireless option for the Genesis. $50 for wireless pretty neat. Will it work with the UK MegaDrive?

The current gen WRC games are actually really enjoyable. I'm deffo buying 8, but whether the Switch version dependa on downgrade, though portable rally would br awesome.
