@Ooyah Not a single one of them. Target Renegade was an excellent Renegade sequel exclusive to Europe , developed by Ocean in order to continue the legacy of the original Renegade western reskin. The best we speak of Renegade 3, the better. As you can quickly glance from the Kunio lineage, the series evolved quite differently in Japan.
@Drac_Mazoku Would be really cool if they updated the original release with the English translations, but it would be even cooler if they translated the Super Famicom missing game.
You guys know how this goes, as part of the NL post-review duty, I'll be around all day and night if anyone needs any clarifications regarding this lovely 8-bit compilation.
@YANDMAN You are right, I have been eagerly following the development of Apex Racing until they went dark an year ago and its very nice to see them secure a release.
@YANDMAN I fear you were not the only I have diserviced but I can assure I reviewed the game in a timely manner, it was just not a priority among games being released that week and that explains the publishing date. Also note the lack of review codes, this one came out of my pocket.
@YANDMAN I too bought it on release but the red flags were already up due to lack on trailer or review codes. Once I saw 60fps where out of the window I knew it could not live up to what we want or deserve on Switch, but I still managed to have fun with it for that weekend.
@nocdaes Please understand I have seen far, far worse on the eShop.
Ill be around if you need any clarifications for this humble effort, just @ me with anything you need to know. Of course I wrote this review before Newman's horrific accident at Dayton 500 last weekend, very happy to know he will recover.
Some East Cup gameplay for you, so you can see it is not a complete wreck but simply not up to the game it is paying homage.
Worked on FNintendo for three weeks a life time ago and it simply wasn't for me. Very sad to see this happen though, not the kind of word of mouth I like to have for my country or fellow countrymen.
@Shambo Same here, had no choice but to softmod my Wii and import the game form the US. I decided to do it to my (still working almost daily!) Wii because friends picked up Tatsunoko vs. Capcom * and *The Sky Crawlers well over one year before both games got official western release confirmation.
I see you gents all giving XX Mission a thumbs down on the comments and calling Hamster lazy because of some of their releases without any of you acknowledging that these games are cult classics in Japan for the Japanese audience. It is not always about us, folks. And don't even get me started on the nightmare that is to secure the re-release rights for some of the names I hear you calling out as well.
@Deltath The explanatio0n is actually quite simple: I have lived my entire professional life sitting around PCs and servers, so as you might imagine I am not very keen in going home to enjoy some video games... by sitting in front of a PC, namely a game that intertwined in my mind as a Super Nintendo console exclusive. Video games consoles = bliss / PCs = work.
Very fond memories of this one:
It was my first US Game Boy import, something I accidentality stumbled when local retailer started popping up video games that where not on the official Nintendo catalogue. Amazing how much they squeezed out of the Game Boy for this.
@Deltath Ah yes, we have been down this path before... Please understand Secret of Mana is a very important title from my entire life as a gamer and I picked up the remake on STEAM day 1. I was not as offended as "the internet" and enjoyed my time with the game, but the more I played it, the more I wanted to play it properly on the Switch instead of PC. I still do in fact, and I hope that Square-Enix lets me one day. Video games are a universal language but even so extremely subjective. That is why my mech GOTY 2019 DAEMON X MACHINA was not even in the runners up for NL GOTY, it "merely" got a 7/10 in our review and I do understand some people consider it utter crap, but lile the Secret of Mana 2.5D remake I ended up enjoying my time with the game by a much wider margin than expected.

Re: Review: Speedway Racing - Daytona USA Has Nothing To Worry About
@YANDMAN If you take a look at my gameplay video above, you will see that it is far from a 1/10.
Re: Review: Speedway Racing - Daytona USA Has Nothing To Worry About
@Bucket That one is a bit more cell shaded, but I would not dismiss some sort of asset pack for racing games out there.
Re: Review: Speedway Racing - Daytona USA Has Nothing To Worry About
@Benji80 fear nothing about investing into GRID Autosport, you can play it as unrealistic as you want, and there is even stock car racing.

Re: Looks Like DOOM 64 Will Only Cost £3.99 On Switch
It's like ID acknowledging that it's the "not so best DOOM". Happy to have this with proper lighting at last.

@JordonAM Is the difference even perceivable to the human eye?
Re: Surprise! First-Person Shooter Warface Is Now Available On Switch For Free
@JSDude1 Call of Duty Mobile seems like a no brainer for the Switch. Even better, dropping the micro transaction bits even if it meant not being f2p.
Re: Surprise! First-Person Shooter Warface Is Now Available On Switch For Free
@SpacemanSpiff sorry to slightly disappoint:
Re: Surprise! First-Person Shooter Warface Is Now Available On Switch For Free
@JSDude1 It is so frustrating to have one of the very best entries of the series (Black Ops ][) on Wii U and nothing on Switch...
Re: Surprise! First-Person Shooter Warface Is Now Available On Switch For Free
I'm down to some FPS shenanigans on my Switch. The system needs more of these.

Re: Rumour: The Major Switch Title This Holiday Season Could Have "Tires" In It
@Shambo Same here, had no choice but to softmod my Wii and import the game form the US. I decided to do it to my (still working almost daily!) Wii because friends picked up Tatsunoko vs. Capcom * and *The Sky Crawlers well over one year before both games got official western release confirmation.
Re: Rumour: The Major Switch Title This Holiday Season Could Have "Tires" In It
About time we got a third Excite Truck game.
Or maybe even a new F-Zero entry with tires. We would call it F-One.
