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.

... rolling start!?

... Aero Fighters is worth WHAT!?

See those two crows over there?

...that's attempted murder. BOOM! THE DENFENCE RESTS, YOUR HONOR! +puts head underneath his wing+

@ZelthkingYoutube They added that after the initial lawsuit. Will they make a new sticker that says "Destroyed by Nintendo", I do wonder...

@Bunkerneath If only we had someone with an image... OH WAIT!

I would kill many (MANY!) heretics to get WH40K Space Marine on the Switch...

The real disappointment is the lack of SFIV on Switch. Wise up, Capcom!

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.

@NinjaSyao Mine is still incoming, but glad to hear!

Very fond memories of this one:

@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.

@GhostGeneration

@DarthNocturnal I can dream... x(

The Secret of Mana 2.5D remake, please.

GOTY?

GOTY confirmed!

@KingMike Pizza related briberies were surely involved...

... will wait for Prince Therion DLC.

The year 1991...

Nintendo - "Hello there! We would like to trademark the word 'Super'!"
Supremer Trademark Leader - "Erm... no."
Ninty - "Oh well! In that case we would like to trademark the word 'Tennis'!"
STL - "... are you perhaps jesting?"
Ninty - "Ok... how about 'Super Tennis', eh? tow for one?"
STL - "Security! In my office, please."
Ninty- "...oh well, we did out best. I'm sure it will be fine!"

Now, the year is 2020... SUPER TENNIS returns! But not really!

HDD storage! I can't keep up with microSD purchases!

...but can you TATE it?

@DockEllisD Same here, I pulled the trigger last night. I usually don't really ship sigle games alone from PA, but since this had free shipping and I had a spare coupon, another cartridge to add to my collection it is then.

@burninmylight Sadly I never see these games going down in price at all. Also, I do believe my Backlog of Shame is already the stuff of legends (from a total of 302 retails games + 668 digital ones) and for what is worth there has not been a single day where I didn't play Ring Fit Adventure and SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays since both games arrived at my home. Heck, even today I look foward to test a few new Mobile Suits I developed last night. It is expensive, but considering the amount of game time I'm getting out of it and despite just making my backlog stagnate, it is time well spent.

A fan of Ninty...

It's me! I'm the final challenger!

@NinjaSyao Thanks for that, added to my next PA purchase list.

Wish these were out on cartridge (are they!?) because 19 gigabytes is a lot of microSD real estate...

@Ooyah Exolon is always on my top 5 ZX Spectrum games. Such a classic. It the 10.000 upload on my YT channel.

@retro_player_22 Erm... not everyone in the world is a speed-runner (I've checked, the world record stands at 16:48) so most folks will not be completing Cybernator in a quarter of an hour.

Metal Marines is an exceptional take on the genre by LucasArts but no way they would have ever make the game if they had no played Valken before. The true shame is the amount of cuts made to the Western version of the game, because Assault Suits Valken is a true masterpiece of mecha platform run'n'gun with a plot that almost screams Gundam lawsuit. I always saw Metal Marines as a spiritual sequel made in America, but I still prefer and stand by my top choice of the Japanese original.

@Ooyah My dude, I have some very, very good news for you. Cecconoid was just ported to mobile and I've pestered Thalamus and... yes indeed, a Switch conversion is in the cards!

I'm not saying I used this game to properly annoy my delinquent downstairs neighbours, but I am saying if you should ever feel the need to convey to your fellow next door person that you can make their entire life miserable, pick this up, hook the audio to a nice subwoofer and monitors and just blow up anything, even the tiniest of enemies in the game.

@Gwynbleidd You can skip them easily here, but I actually enjoy understanding (for once!) why I am blowing up poor fools who stand up to me.

@burninmylight I have been a client for well over a decade, zero issues.

I would re-buy the whole Mass Effect trilogy for portable sake and excuse to replay the whole thing.

@antdickens The beacons of Mute City are lit! Hope is rekindled!

PS: Oh, sweet irony.

You know you are in deep trouble when not even fake F-Zero makes the cut...

So soon to have a 2020 GOTY candidate in our ranks, yet here we are.

I can't believe the amount of discipline it has taken for me to wait for an official European release of this game. I decided to skip on this edition and I'm OK with that.

...or am I?

@NotoriousWhiz Not bad for day 1

@mesome713 ... "No English Text"? Are you ... even commenting on the correct review, sir?

@Pekapa I'm on world 19, so don't worry, it will last you good amount of time.

@SpookyPotato Put that on Switch, you cowards!

@silverthornne And I must go order X.

@MuhBael Licensing costs and issues plus general lack of hardcore Gundam audience on Nintendo system probably scared away Namco Bandai from getting this officially released in the West.

@silverthornne I have had in all my time with the game a single crash-to-dashboard. Namco Bandai recommends that you power cycle the Switch every time you start the game instead of resuming or putting the unit in sleep mode (the crashes seem to be RAM related). They are still investigating what causes that and hope to have a definitive fix in a future patch. Luckily thanks to the quick save slots I lost no progress at all, even caught the crash on video and left it in the final upload.

@Rayquaza2510 No official Western release. There never is one... a small miracle they deemed it STEAM worthy, only possible because the licensing fees for SD models are so much chapter than having the regular, non-SD original variants of the series.

@nessisonett Same devs, same game engine except that Super Robot Wars combats use 2D sprites and this one uses full polygonal models.
