Great news because I got stuck on the Eye Zord level and its not my fault. The difficulty spike is insane!

@AJB83 I'm actually a backer on kickstarter for this one but they only sent me the STEAM code for the game. I have pre-ordered the physical version but I don't know if I won't cave in and buy the digital Switch version too...

I don't often hear you guys talk about "New Star GP" often when speaking about racing games on the system, so Ill make sure to mention it on my WAYPTW because its utter brilliant.

Just bought it this week from Play Asia, I guess I won't be playing this come Xmas after all... but my Dreamcast version is still around here somewhere.

With that many Trek puns in there, I knew it was Gavin writing this before I reached the bottom. Make it so.

"Xenoblade Chronicles X" ending lives rent free in my mind. Some closure would be welcome.

@AmplifyMJ all good, thanks!

@Teksetter my apologies, good madam. The world of nicknames remains a confusing one.

@Tyranexx nothing else to do but move on. TY.

@Teksetter thank you , good sir!

PS: We really need "UFO 50" on Switch...

@OorWullie and hard. SO HARD!

@OorWullie you won't regret it!

@OorWullie I like it very much. I combines a few old games mechanics into a thing very much of it's own (even a bit of Sonic!). Unsure if you played the previous games from Pixel Games "Donut Dodo" but "Cash Cow DX" feels like an evolution of that platformer. Also quite hard to master, but genuinely rewarding when you do succeed. It gets the most important aspect of an arcade game: an enjoyable game loop.

@PikaPhantom so good. That game is soooooo good!

...sold. Gimme, gimme, gimme!

@BloodWolfe No problem. I had no choice but to do this not only because of JPN exclusive demos but because often companies send me only US codes for reviews.

@rainbowtick it did not.

@bones sadly those 3 VR missions and flight deck air show remains a PS4 exclusive VR experience. that said, if you have sort of strap-on-head VR devices, the cockpit view in this is quite amazing.

@Gorlock @Gs69 I can help you with that. The game offers two types of control options: Normal and Expert. Normal will lock your plane on a Axis and it is meant for new comers to play while ensuring it will be hard to crash your plane. Expert mode is my default go to and let you actually rotate your plane on its axis, giving you full freedom of movement. every button on the controller is used but this is not a flight simulator,its an arcade style shooter so ou can really push as much as you want and just have a lot of fun at it. There are also several difficulty levels from casual to (unlockable) Ace. some people also have issues with the inverted up/down|dive/rise movement so you can reverse those two (but in real life when you push the yokel forward, the plane will dive and vice versa). As such I can assure you if you plunge into this, controls will not be an issue.

@SirWalrus bit I did watch it and was eagerly awaiting for it. It confirmed everything I wrote about the issues previously mentioned. I will hold out the 10 out of 10 for "Ace Combat 8" that will hopefully have a day 1 release on Switch Next. Thank you.

@BloodWolfe I've notice some people complaining about this. I have three regional accounts because I need to have access to EU, US and JPN eshops. You only need to have a different email for each and you can buy funds for any of them at Play Asia. A small annoyance indeed, but not that hard to circumvent.

@SirWalrus the reviewer is not wrong! The reviewer has 100 hours of AC7 on STEAM so the reviewer did not have to look very far to spot some concessions made to make the game run, namely a few slowdowns when explosions go crazy or target rich environments during the score target missions. Yet it runs incredible when side to side with other versions. Also, the reviewer is me.

@Lord because the positives by far outweigh the negatives. It's not about quantity, its about quality.

@beltmenot "Steel Battalion 2" on Switch Next. Heck, maybe even a new "Space Harrier".

@SpeedRunRocks ... if they put it up with a model F-22, I might just bite.

(PS: What this game really needs is a flight stick controller like the one on Xbox 360 for "Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation"...)

@Vyacheslav333 yes it does. Both audio track for English and Japanese are present on cartridge. I am playing this for the first time in English, my 100+ hours on STEAM were with Japanese audio which is something I often do to pick up a new Japanese word here and there.

@beltmenot yes but only in Europe and Asia. No US one, sadly.

If you guys have any questions related to this port, @ me over here and I will address any lingering issues that might not have been covered on the review.

@Serpenterror I don't know what going on over there, but the game received a physical edition in Europe and the cartridge really has the whole game in it.

@rainbowtick which just happens to be my favourite "Ace Combat" spin-off. The movie was really depressing but the game not only acts as a prequel/origin story but has some awesome missions and airplanes.

@rainbowtick I think you're confusing this with "Heatseeker".

I still can't believe this runs as good as it does. Review as soon as humanly possible.

@Vyacheslav333 still in the bag of my backlog of shame. That bag is getting quite heavy...

@Solomon_Rambling I can help you with that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S2G-i4mm2Y

@Yoshif3 surely is just a matter of a few more decades... Y_Y

Switch needs more dakka anyway.

... this is the happiest day of my life. Y_Y

@MrHeli and it only took 5 years...

F-Zero. Pretty please.

Flip the table it is!

Fingers crossed they put this on a box and cartridge along with some extra single player modes.

@Guitario @Vyacheslav333 here you go gents, beautiful pixel art in motion:

Just once, I got a sealed empty box of "Little Nightmares" from Amazon.es . Asked for a refund and got it at local FNAC store. I can only assume this happens in several units of a bad batch that will only get discovered once the customer gets the box.

That's a buy from me then! Was worried there for a bit, but I can live with it's flaws. hope they do fix that random stutter problem down the line...

What a massive win for Japan...

@Ralizah You are quite correct, and the reason I played FM1 then jumped to FM3.

Will buy it day 1.
Will regret it day 2 when they announce fancy physical edition.
By day 3ill probably be on Mission 10 because this is the one that got away so I'm really looking forward to this.

Backed. That's it, that's the post.

@Zuljaras nice!
