that looks absolutely incredible. Genuinely, I think this could be the best video game movie ever made. When I first heard of this I thought it'd be a train wreck, but love that trailer. Ryan Reynolds is perfectly cast.
@roadrunner343 I was about to say something but you said it much more eloquently than I could have. Someone that takes their life experiences and impartially judges the good and bad to be a better person is someone to be commended.
Adored Machinarium, but probably won't double dip. Would much rather have all the Samorost games ported across, been holding off on buying this for PC just in case they arrive on other platforms!
Not the right selection of SNK games for me, so I won't be picking it up. Emulation issues are a big problem too, you really need to nail it on a collection like this.
The next Rocket League? Seems a bit of a weird comparison, as Rocket League isn't a racing game.
Anyway, for me Grip seems like it has great gameplay, but from what I've seen the courses and visual variety seem to be a bit lacking, so I'm a little unsure how I feel about it. I'm sure I'd enjoy it but I think there are other racers that would be more worth my time.
LOVED the addition of Akira from Virtua Fighter and Yuri Kozukata from Project Zero/Fatal Frame - really unexpected but can't wait to see them in-game!
Mega Drive section? Check. Nice. Dreamcast section? OK cool, now we're cooking. Saturn section? Saturn section?
...SATURN SECTION? Get on it Sega!
Either way though, loving all of this. Hope to see some more arcade-inspired stuff like Out Run, Daytona USA, Afterburner, Space Harrier etc eventually.
Haha, I really like the look of this, definitely something I'd pick up in a sale. I do feel sorry for the joyless souls that look down on stuff like this.
Too flawed and too expensive for me to buy, but glad to see Korg improving it bit by bit. Maybe one day, but there's a lot of stuff that'd need to change for me to get on board.
Good times. And the controller really was great - remember the 6-button pad being a revelation with Super Street Fighter 2 - playing 2 fighters on anything else was just unthinkable back in the day.
Potentially a cool idea, but I'd much rather get an 8bitdo controller with a clip than that awful side-mounted thing. And then if that's the case I'll stick to my S8 for now, which runs my personal selection of games and emulators perfectly well already.
Looks fun, but too expensive for the complete experience (no interest in collecting toys for one game, sorry Ubisoft). Also the comparisons to No Man's Sky at the start of the review don't really make much sense, they're nothing alike.
What I want is Saturn and Arcade releases. Give us those and I will buy them on any platform you deem fit, Sega. Virtual On, Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Scud Race, Guardian Heroes, Daytona 2, these are the games I really want to play all over again.
It's a great game, remember buying it on Xbox 360 back int he day and absolutely loved it. But I really wish this was a sequel and not a remaster, as I don't think I'll go back and replay it with so many other games to play.
Seems a bit pricey and gimmicky. I'm sure some people will find a use for it but I can't think of a time when I'd use this over just putting my existing case in my backpack.
@IronMan30 Just bear in mind it can be a little bit of a slow burner at first, not everyone clicks with it straight away. I rented it on 360 first time around and was getting frustrated for ages before it suddenly clicked and I got addicted.
Downloaded and ready to go, will be nice to check out what the port is like before deciding whether to get the full game. As long as performance is reliable though, I think I'll be happy.
I bought a year in advance - at £1.50 a month it's really not something to lose sleep over and I'm still enjoying Rocket League online enough to justify it. The NES games work nicely (though more would be good) and I've got the Dark Souls beta ready to go. Good times.
I'd much rather have a proper Virtual Console, but as someone that held off buying any of the classic mini consoles in case they got released on Switch, I'm happy to see them included with the online service. Hopefully it'll be expanded beyond the NES one day, but for now I'm happy enough with it.

Re: YouTube Has Officially Arrived On Nintendo Switch
Can't say I was too bothered, but it's nice to have the option either way.
Re: Zelda-Inspired Hazelnut Bastille Kickstarter Successful, Switch Version Confirmed
Looks really nice, definitely interested!

Re: Nintendo Will Remove Smash Bros. Ultimate's Offensive Depiction Of Native Americans
@Yosher Please, if you want overly sensitive, you need look no further than the outrageously toxic element of the Smash fanbase.
Re: Review: Machinarium - A Captivating Point-And-Click Adventure, Despite The Passage Of The Years
Adored Machinarium, but probably won't double dip. Would much rather have all the Samorost games ported across, been holding off on buying this for PC just in case they arrive on other platforms!
Re: Beautiful Puzzle-Platformer Gris Floats Onto Switch On 13th December
This looks sensational. I'll be pre-ordering as soon as possible.
Re: Nintendo Will Remove Smash Bros. Ultimate's Offensive Depiction Of Native Americans
@roadrunner343 I wish more people had your attitude. Well said.
Re: Nintendo Will Remove Smash Bros. Ultimate's Offensive Depiction Of Native Americans
Good on Nintendo for being proactive about it and doing the right thing. They explained clearly and have taken sensible action.
Re: Nidhogg 2 Brings Gruesome One-On-One Combat To The Switch eShop On 22nd November
Love Nidhogg already got it on PS4. If this had been released sooner I would have got it on Switch.
Re: Review: SNK 40th Anniversary Collection - A Lovingly-Assembled Retro Anthology That Hits The Right Notes
Not the right selection of SNK games for me, so I won't be picking it up. Emulation issues are a big problem too, you really need to nail it on a collection like this.

Re: Netflix Renews Castlevania Animated Series For A Third Season
Great news, loved the first two seasons!
Re: More Fighters Are Being Added To The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo Line
Definitely want that piranha plant!
Re: SEGA AGES Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Might Be The Best Version We've Ever Had
I'm really loving the Sega Ages approach right now, absolutely can't wait to get Virtua Racing and I'll probably pick up Sonic 2 as well.
Re: Sega Wants To Bring Star Wars Arcade To Nintendo Switch
@Trikeboy That would be a hundred times better. Loved that game so much.
Re: M2 Reveals Switch Can Already Run Sega Naomi Titles, Dreamcast "Definitely" Coming In The Future
Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram, Virtua Tennis, Cosmic Smash and Outrigger! Make it happen, Sega. Make it happen.
Re: Poll: What Do You Want To See From The Final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
A strong singleplayer mode would be the absolute best thing for me and would take me from "I'll get it eventually" to instant pre-order.
Re: Review: Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San - Get Ready To Party Like It's 1989
Had never heard of this before, but it looks great - love that old Game Boy aesthetic!
Re: Sega Mega Drive Classics Hits Switch On 6th December, Physical And Digital Versions On The Way
I'd rather pick up the individual Sega Ages games, personally. But I'd consider getting it on sale, maybe.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct Announced For 1st November
Wow, 40 minutes is more than I would have expected. Looking forward to it.
Re: Rumour: Netflix's Castlevania Executive Producer Is Apparently "Working" On A Legend Of Zelda Series
Great news if it turns out to be true. Castlevania was fantastic. Would have loved to see him do the same thing with Dark Souls though.
Re: Sega Launches Official Online Merchandise Stores In UK And Europe
Looks at website
Mega Drive section? Check. Nice.
Dreamcast section? OK cool, now we're cooking.
Saturn section? Saturn section?
...SATURN SECTION? Get on it Sega!
Either way though, loving all of this. Hope to see some more arcade-inspired stuff like Out Run, Daytona USA, Afterburner, Space Harrier etc eventually.
Re: Circle Of Sumo Is An Obscure Fighting Game Arriving On Switch eShop Next Month
Haha, I really like the look of this, definitely something I'd pick up in a sale. I do feel sorry for the joyless souls that look down on stuff like this.
Re: Classic Sega And Taito Music Coming To KORG Gadget As DLC In 2019
Too flawed and too expensive for me to buy, but glad to see Korg improving it bit by bit. Maybe one day, but there's a lot of stuff that'd need to change for me to get on board.
Re: Random: These Stylish Rail Covers Will Protect Your Switch From Fall Damage
God they look awful. Really don't see the point.
Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Mega Drive
Good times. And the controller really was great - remember the 6-button pad being a revelation with Super Street Fighter 2 - playing 2 fighters on anything else was just unthinkable back in the day.
Re: Monster Hunter Movie's Milla Jovovich Shares New On-Set Photo To Reassure "Worried" Fans
I mean, no one was ever expecting this to be good, right?
Re: Video: Check Out Yooka-Laylee's Demastered Nintendo 64 Mode In Action
Just looks more like a filter, which isn't really great. Banjo and Kazooie certainly looked better than that...
Re: These Nintendo Piranha Plant Slippers Release This December And We May Have Fallen In Love
Haha, love it. Very clever.
Re: Huawei Is Launching A New Gaming Phone To Rival The Switch, And It Costs Over $1,000
Potentially a cool idea, but I'd much rather get an 8bitdo controller with a clip than that awful side-mounted thing. And then if that's the case I'll stick to my S8 for now, which runs my personal selection of games and emulators perfectly well already.
Re: Morphies Law Had Disappointing Launch, Devs Planning New Free Content To Bring Players Back
Very cool idea, but I'm just not that interested in shooters and if I was going to get one, I'd get Splatoon 2.
Re: A Zelda-Like Open World Pokémon Game Is "Still On The Cards", Says Junichi Masuda
That would be pretty awesome. Here's hoping. I'd just hope that the settlements/cities would live up to the rest of the world design as well.
Re: Review: Starlink: Battle For Atlas - A Shining Example Of Open World Star Fox Done Right
Looks fun, but too expensive for the complete experience (no interest in collecting toys for one game, sorry Ubisoft). Also the comparisons to No Man's Sky at the start of the review don't really make much sense, they're nothing alike.
Re: Review: Mark Of The Ninja: Remastered - A Stellar Stealth Hit That's Better Than Ever
Brilliant game, but I've got no reason to re-buy it. Would love a sequel though.
Re: This Lovely Boo Bean Bag Chair Will Steal Your Heart, And Your Money
It's very nice, but nothing on the giant Pokemon plushies that were out in Japan a while back.
Re: Photorealistic Graphics Didn't Match Welcoming Nature Of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee
The visual style is perfect, wouldn't change a thing. There's a reason all those "Zelda/Mario/Pokemon in Unreal Engine" tech demos look so weird.
Re: Sega Says Its Retro Release Strategies "Can Be Opportunistic As Well As Strategic"
What I want is Saturn and Arcade releases. Give us those and I will buy them on any platform you deem fit, Sega. Virtual On, Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Scud Race, Guardian Heroes, Daytona 2, these are the games I really want to play all over again.
Re: Experience PlayStation One Era Graphics On Switch With Survival Horror Back In 1995
I love the graphic style, personally. Shame it's such a short game but interested to find out more.
Re: Mark Of The Ninja: Remastered Will Creep Onto Switch On 9th October
It's a great game, remember buying it on Xbox 360 back int he day and absolutely loved it. But I really wish this was a sequel and not a remaster, as I don't think I'll go back and replay it with so many other games to play.
Re: Jet Set Radio Series Tops Sega AGES Poll As Most Wanted Retro Release
My top choices would be:
1: Panzer Dragoon Saga
2. Burning Rangers
3. Phantasy Star Online (Blue Burst ideally)
4. Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram
5. Scud Race
6. Fighters Megamix
7. OutRun 2
8. NiGHTS into Dreams
9. Shining Force 1-3
10. Jet Set Radio
Make it happen, Sega. Make it happen. I will buy every single one of them.
Re: Kickstarter Launches For The '3 Up', A Stylish Switch Carry Case That Adapts To Your Needs
Seems a bit pricey and gimmicky. I'm sure some people will find a use for it but I can't think of a time when I'd use this over just putting my existing case in my backpack.
Re: The Nintendo Switch NES Controllers Are Now Available To Pre-Order In Europe
They're lovely controllers, but no way are they worth £50. Ludicrous price.
Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
Is this different to the version that comes with the Switch online service?
Re: Dark Souls: Remastered Network Test Hits Switch This Week, Download Available Now
@IronMan30 Just bear in mind it can be a little bit of a slow burner at first, not everyone clicks with it straight away. I rented it on 360 first time around and was getting frustrated for ages before it suddenly clicked and I got addicted.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 6.0.0 Is Now Live

Re: NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 Will Slam Dunk Your Switch On 16th October
If the reviews are good, I'll be tempted.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Not Excited About Playing NES Games On The Nintendo Switch
I'd much rather have a proper Virtual Console, but as someone that held off buying any of the classic mini consoles in case they got released on Switch, I'm happy to see them included with the online service. Hopefully it'll be expanded beyond the NES one day, but for now I'm happy enough with it.
Re: Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle - Nirvana For Side-Scrolling Fighter Fans
Looking forward to this!
