Ooh, interesting. Love a good horror so definitely keeping an eye on this.

@YANDMAN Haha, much more likely you've been playing on my team and been frustratingly beaten. Just about scraped Diamond on 3v3 now so not too bad but hardly top tier either!

The technical performance is a dealbreaker for me, sadly. I'll be picking it up on PS4.

Good to see how much they're improving the game, would love another demo to compare. Still think it's promising.

By far my most played game on Switch. Still hopelessly addicted and no sign of slowing down. Getting waaaay overloaded on items now, looking forward to the inventory management changes they've promised.

I think it looks great, easily one of my most anticipated Switch titles. Kinda wish the female character design was a bit more "subtle", but it still looks great fun to play.

Watched a few demos and yeah, the Switch version really is pants, unfortunately. Will be getting this on PS4 instead.

@X68000 Still, at least that's something! Thanks for the link. Very tempted but I'm also going to Japan later this year and wondering if I might be able to grab one when I go over. Guess it's unlikely anywhere will have the limited edition goodies though.

@X68000 Let me know if you find somewhere! Had a quick look before but struggling to find it. Really tempted.

I was a bit disappointed at first but the rabid backlash honestly makes me want the game more. Gamers are so damn touchy.

It looks great, really love the style. But £125 seems a lot for a relatively small figurine/statue.

Great news, will be very tempted by this one and can't wait for Virtua Racing next week. I'd love to see some model 2 arcade games come our way at some point though, like Daytona and Virtual On.

No thanks, looks really dull. Will wait for Mario Kart instead.

@Alucard83 As I understand it, free-to-play titles do not require PS Plus on PlayStation as they are monitized a different way. Not 100% certain but pretty sure I heard this recently.

I hope the world is a little more populated this time around. I loved that the original BotW was this big open, abandoned area where civilization was almost all gone, but it'd be interesting to see the people rebuilding and life starting to flourish again.

It's a real shame but I think I'll wait to see the final roster before I decide whether it's a bealbreaker or not.

I'm sure it'll happen eventually, would be weird if they didn't, but I kinda agree with Mr. Bowser that the chat should be about the games for the time being. They're putting a lot of effort into making a quality library of games and it shows.

Having said that, I will totally be on board with a Switch "Pro" if they do decide to do that in the future.

I thought it was good overall. BotW2 was the real bombshell but was also really excited by The Witcher 3, Panzer Dragoon, Astral Chain, Link's Awakening and No More Heroes 3. The rest, if I'm honest, was a bit boring for me personally, but I expected that. No interest in Banjo/Kazooie or the Dragon Quest characters for Smash so I'm pretty relieved I didn't buy the character pass, and Animal Crossing bores me to tears so glossed over there as well.

But overall, gotta say that E3 this year has been lacking that extra something special. The closest we've got is the Final Fantasy VII Remake from SE's conference and BotW2 from Nintendo, but the show in general still feels a little lacklustre compared to previous years.

At the right price, I'd actually be very tempted by these. At the moment I find I'm platying in handheld mode a lot but much prefer using my Pro controller for stuff like Rocket League. But I don't like putting the screen down to play so I don't tend to use it when I'm not docked.

Enjoyed the first tow games but absolutely love the look of this. Really hoping it turns out well.

Really enjoyed the original so this is good news, even if the other consoles are getting a "better" version. The original is still beautiful today anyway.

Wonderful game but really don't feel the need to buy a physical edition, certainly not on Switch.

@retro_player_22 Well, you don't know that they won't for some titles. Wait and see, it could happen.

It still looks a little lacking from a technical perspective in some ways, but still very fun. I think if I was a big Pokemon fan I might have be a little "over" it by now but as someone who's not played any since the originals, I'm looking forward to playing a new Pokemon that isn't watered down like Let's Go Pickachu/Eevee.

Holy moly that's SO damn cool. Going to Japan later this year...wonder if I'll still be able to grab one while I'm there...argh!

I'd love for Nintendo to really push their hardware design like this, but it'll never happen. Still, lovely concepts!

As much as I love Marvel, big "no thanks" from me too I'm afraid. Just doesn't fit right for either franchise.

The Shinjuku VR Zone Mario Kart is better anyways!

It's impressively done for an amateur but goes too far, IMO. Half way between the two would be ideal.

Good news to hear - no doubt the movie will still be pants, but Carrey seems like a good fit and if Sonic's design is "fixed" then I'd be a little more inclined to see it.

@AranBogard This x1000. Tracks and characters are everything in a Kart game and Team Sonic Racing is so, so weak in that regard. Really disappointed.

Great idea, actually makes me kinda tempted to pick up Let's Go to get a good stock of the gen 1 Pokemon.

Sweet, looking forward to this - expecting Sword/Shield to be my first proper Pokemon since Red/Blue.

Great news! Just wish they would do some simple upscaling to the backgrounds as well.

@YANDMAN Ah so there is one. Wasn't aware. Tbh, still not something I'd get, personally.

Uh, nah. No thanks, not for me. Nice enough idea but I would much prefer something based on the original Game Boy - or ideally, a more traditional watch that takes some nice design cues from the original design (certain lines, colours, fonts etc) rather than this. Reminds me of a horrible watch I had as a kid that had a Game & Watch style Sonic game on it. It was hideous but I loved it because I was like 7 years old.

@Antraxx777 Not really. Beat em ups should have good combat. The combat in this looks more like a bad action RPG, where you just fire off your abilities and hope the enemies get caught up in it. Honestly gameplay-wise this looks some distance behind the Lego games and that's a bit worrying.

I really want to like this, but...it just looks a bit too basic. Just wander around small enclosed spaces button bashing various flash ability with no real heft or nuance? I dunno. Maybe it'll be more fun than it looks but so far I'm really not feeling it.

Sonic Mania was great, everything else Sonic related continues to be naff. I hope to be proven wrong though.

Probably not going to make it out to the cinema to see it unfortunately, but really looking forward to catching this when it's out on disc.

The Game Gear was my first ever console so this really does bring back a lot of memories. Would love to splash out on an upgraded model sometime so this was really interesting to read.

Loved reading this again, and definitely work picking up the book if you're a fan of Sega's arcade days!

Y'know, Jim Carrey I can get on board with. I actually he think he looks good. But that CGI Sonic is a horror from my worst nightmares. What is up with those weird lips of his!?

@ramu-chan Couldn't agree more. This looks terrible and has thrown away everything great about the previous games in the series.

Shame. I would have loved it if they accidentally ported Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed instead.

Absolutely despise that d-pad placement. Good grief. Would it have really hurt that much to just put it nearer the analogue stick like the Switch pro controller? If you don't need it then great but personally I quite like using a d-pad over the analogue on occasion if I can.

@infernogott I know, but I don't want to go through the hassle of signing up for a second account, or start getting Japanese news stories in my feed. I'll wait for the local release.

Can't wait to get the English release when it lands, been waiting for this for a while now and loved it back in the day. Really hope we get Virtua Fighter with the same treatment at some point!

Very excited to play this at last, seems like a brilliant port and SO glad it's full screen rather than all boxed in. Think I'll probably wait for the western release though and finish up a couple other games in the meantime.

I'm sure it'll do well, but more interested in the 'modest upgrade' Switch. Wonder if it'll be worth it?
