Re: The First Two Sega AGES Titles Are Launching On Switch Next Month

Sakura7

Checked out extras and Sonic Mega Play is seriously meh. Exactly the same except levels but some cut off. Can miss unless there's some serious leaderboard action. ThunderForce seems better option if you only own MD/Genesis version. Styx seems to remove a weapon making it harder. Major plus is CD rather than chip music. The graphics and game flow seem improved to my eyes. However none of the comments I've read mention this so could just be difference in captures. However the Styx gameplay seemed pretty darn awesome compared to my cartridge. (BTW tons of people say you can't play original MD games on anything other than CRT.I've got MD, Master System, Snes, PS2, and Gamecube all going through same multi scart block to HD TV and all play frankly much better than I remember.)

Re: Crash Bandicoot Holds Off Octopath Traveler And Captain Toad To Keep UK Number One Spot

Sakura7

The 40% drop in Toad will be because Wii U owners already have and that it's, whisper it, the better version of the game. And that's not Wii U fanboyism it's just a fact.Even most reviews state it plays better handheld, but more awesome and family friendly docked. And Wii U has that covered. It's why Mario Maker would likely be inferior. Do love the Switch though and every other port has been at least equal to and usually better than the Wii U. And I'm not gonna lay down 40 quid for, effectively, DLC. Not even upgraded to Mario Kart Deluxe. The one exception is Zelda Warriors which had a ton of effort put into it, especially if you only owned one previous version. The nadir of poor ports is Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. Toad at least has mid level pricing.

Re: Review: MotoGP 18 (Switch)

Sakura7

Actually the local wireless is quite a biggie. Pity it's not a one cart share deal, which was possible on some 3DS, but still awesome if my mates get it (but 30 quid deffo my limit).

Re: Review: MotoGP 18 (Switch)

Sakura7

Decent video capture @Shiryu makes me interested. (Hopefully all that menu faffing about was just showing off what's available and not because you're terrifically undecided). But won't pay more than 30 quid (Crash has madd everything else seem so very expensive).

Re: Crash Bandicoot Is The Fastest Selling Switch Game In 2018 As It Rockets To UK Number One

Sakura7

The fact that it sold at the same price as the PS4/XB versions made this a day one no-brainer for me. Got in lunch break on Friday and everyone in the line was buying, to the point it was amusing. Adults were buying but also quite a few kids, who don't have the nostalgia factor. Spyro on Switch needs to happen now! It's initial sales on PS4/XB may look weak in comparison to the initial release of Crash, as more people, me included, hold off buying Spyro until it lands on Switch. And then it'll go through the roof.

Re: Review: de Blob (Switch)

Sakura7

This seems a tad expensive for such an old game, especially when the arguably better souped up Lumanies is released same week at half the price. Needs a deep (50%) discount before I'd even consider.

Re: Shots Are Fired In This New Minecraft Cross-Play Trailer

Sakura7

Never thought I'd see an advert like this. Cool how Nintendo advert and at the end Xbox is given the lhs of the screen and Nintendo the rhs (think movie posters as to why a big deal). Cos the 2 companies must be talking one does wonder if more could come of this in the Nindy-Ubisoft vein. Doubtful, but never expected a dual console advert in a million years.

Re: Mario + Rabbids DK DLC Is Almost Half The Length Of Main Game, Series Could Continue

Sakura7

Great. Wasn't a fan of the Rabbids but warmed to them after after this game came out. Even watched the Keaton-esque TV series - they knowingly steal and reference whole scenes of Buster's films. And Donkey Kong is increasingly looking to overtake MegaMan Zero as my favourite games character ( though that may change if a new Klonoa game was released). I even adore the Konga games.

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th June (Europe)

Sakura7

Wow some awesome discounts. Doing a check and The Coma, oh wait Golf Story, oh but wait SF Ultra. Ummm what to have. Wait there's decent discounts on Wii U !?! I've no money but finding some to graze up those Wii U stuff I haven't got yet.

Re: Fifa 18's World Cup Update Is Out Today On Switch, But It's Crashing People's Consoles

Sakura7

Yea been playing couple hours no issues. Not really into footy games but so much fun. However, even though not really played a footy game since snes ISS winning every game so gotta move up from beginner. ( Though Beginner awesome for learning the mechanics, more like a training mode). I know people are saying it lacks some features from other consoles but a SERIOUS amount of content here so I'm well pleased.

Re: Review: Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection (Switch)

Sakura7

Was outside Sainsburys/Argos at 8am to pick this up b4 work. Now the only issue is finding time to play this awesome game AND the stunning, way better than expected on Switch, FIFA World Cup update. And I'm off work next week! (But also got the WCR trilogy in the PSN sale and they're also great. ) Too much fun.

Re: Super Neptunia RPG Brings Side-Scrolling Dungeons And Turn-Based Battles To Switch

Sakura7

@Yasume. Love this series. Those who claim it's all boobs and panties simply haven't played the series. It's lighthearted rpg's that take a genial pisstake of other rpg's and console war tropes. Simple but fantastic playability. Adorable characters who are loveable more for their wit than their looks. And indeed the way they look is a self referential comment on the games industry in and of itself. Yes it means the game has it's cake and eats it too, but please, 80% of games would be lost if we damned buxom ladies in games (and 99.9 % if added macho testerone fuelled guys). And I'm not saying that's right. But don't single out this series. Or it's fans. We're having too much fun!

Re: Review: Late Shift (Switch eShop)

Sakura7

Trailers make it look interesting and the main character seems to have decent acting chops. For some reason makes me think of Gangster no. One, with a bit of John Wick. Defintely maybe...
