I started it yesterday, played about an hour. I don't mind the nature of the quests, but the ones I did so far are quite short. Hoping they get longer.
I have one. It was great on occasions I travelled with work and had some time to kill waiting for transport or things to start. But ultimately it's one of those odd Nintendo products that actually gets made.
The worst was getting a launch 3DS. The 3D was a nice feature and I loved Ridge Racer. But ultimately, it was overpriced and the 3DS XL was much better.
Damn, BotW feels. For me, Lost World drew inspiration from Mario Galaxy, and that wasn't a great game (Lost World). So not getting my hopes up at this homage.
I'd love Nintendo to bring back the Game Boy Micro or make something similar. Switch isn't exactly pocket-sized, so a really small console would be good to have when a Switch would be inconvenient.
@riki_sidekicks It seems similar to the Switch. It will take advantage of the low screen resolution for performance and the small screen size will make it more difficult to notice, but this is probably a bit subjective. Then there's the option of running games lower than the native resolution of the screen.
I had it pre-ordered on Amazon, then I bought something else which happened to be sold by a small business. They had a promotion where if you bought something from a small business they gave you a £10 voucher for supporting them - but it had to be used on Prime day. So, I decided to cancel my Mario Golf pre-order and order it again on Prime day to use the voucher but it was out of stock, LOL!
The last Sonic game I bought thinking it would be a return to form, and by that I mean day one, was Sonic Forces. So, I'm reserving judgement this time. But maybe it wil be OK this time, because Sonic means speed but speed requires big levels and if they treat it like an open world racing game but replace the car with Sonic it will be OK.
Take Forza Horizon, replace the cars with Sonic characters, end of crap Sonic games.

Great game, but the poor image quality was immediately noticable. Good to hear there's an update coming that will address it.

Re: Review: Chaos;Head Noah - A Great Localisation Of The First 'Science Adventure' VN
@Jumping_Dead I'll be the judge of that
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?
Mario's voice, not good. Maybe there will be more trailers that have more of the voice, but until then I've lost all interest.
Re: Review: Chaos;Head Noah - A Great Localisation Of The First 'Science Adventure' VN
I love the anime!! Reasonably priced game, so I might just get it. Woo!

Nothing this week but Hot Lap League will interest me at a discount.
Re: My Nintendo Store Down For Maintenance, Possibly For Weeks (EU)
Weeks? I wonder if it's been hacked.
Re: Mega Drive Mini 2 Games List - Every Genesis And Mega CD Game Announced
Worth it for Virtua Racing alone.
Re: Video: The Switch eShop Is Bad, And It's Making Us Sad
It's dreadful. It has some great QoL features that some PC storefronts don't have, yet it's painfully slow and doesn't even have a shopping cart.

Re: Poll: Budget Line Box Art - Is It 'Fine', Or A Sin Against All That Is Good And Pure?
I wouldn't do without a game I wanted if the budget box is all I could find it in.
Re: Reggie Thought Game Boy Micro Was "A Nonstarter" But Was "Forced" To Launch It
I have one. It was great on occasions I travelled with work and had some time to kill waiting for transport or things to start. But ultimately it's one of those odd Nintendo products that actually gets made.
Re: Feature: What's Your Biggest Nintendo Launch Day Regret?
The worst was getting a launch 3DS. The 3D was a nice feature and I loved Ridge Racer. But ultimately, it was overpriced and the 3DS XL was much better.
Re: Poll: Which Wii Sport Is The Best Wii Sport In Wii Sports (And Which Is The Worst)?
Boxing in Wii Sports was so good. Totally underappreciated.
Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?
If there's a hardware bump, put me in! If it's just a paint job, I'll take the game only.
Re: Bandai Namco Announces .hack//G.U. Last Recode Physical Switch Release
Cool. Always wanted these games but never got round to it on the other formats.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 26th)
Damn, when I saw the picture I thought there was a new version of Pocket Card Jockey
Re: Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard, Now Owns Call Of Duty And Crash Bandicoot
WHAAAAAT???!!! Incredible!
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Pocket Football Club Really Needs A Sequel On Switch
I'd go for a Pocket Card Jockey sequel over a sequel for this. That was an absolutely stunning game.
Re: Introducing Sonic Frontiers, Arriving On Nintendo Switch Holiday 2022
Damn, BotW feels. For me, Lost World drew inspiration from Mario Galaxy, and that wasn't a great game (Lost World). So not getting my hopes up at this homage.
Re: Qualcomm Unveils Switch-Style Device Targeting "The Future Of Portable Gaming"
Nothing to see here.
Please disperse.
Re: Feature: "The eShop Is Just Way Too Slow" - Deku Deals Creator On Nintendo's Switch Storefront
Damn, I didn't know abou tthis site. It's so much faster than the eShop, which is frankly a joke.
The only thing missing is screenshots.
Re: Rumour: Switch Online Datamine Uncovers Plans For "At Least" 38 N64 Games And 52 Sega Genesis Titles
It will be whatever was on Wii VC.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald Will Be The GamesMaster In Revived Show
Genius, absolute genius.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?
It's more expensive than I hoped, but I guess the Mega-Drive and N64 games will keep coming, so there's that.
Re: Feature: GamesMaster Host Robert Florence On Succeeding Dominik Diamond And Why Switch Is "The Greatest Console"
@Clammy There's an episode where Legend sings songs fom games to some random guy in the street, who has to guess what they are. It's hilarious!
Re: Switch's N64 Controller Is Hiding Some Extra Buttons
@BongoBongo123 Disappointing. I was hoping they would make it like a modern analogue stick on ths inside but still with the N64-type stick.

Please do this thing.
Re: Soapbox: Playdate Sold Out In 20 Minutes - Is It Time For A New Nintendo Handheld?
I'd love Nintendo to bring back the Game Boy Micro or make something similar. Switch isn't exactly pocket-sized, so a really small console would be good to have when a Switch would be inconvenient.

Make it so, number one!

It was not very effective.
Re: Gabe Newell: Pricing Valve's Switch-Like Steam Deck Was "Painful"
@riki_sidekicks It seems similar to the Switch. It will take advantage of the low screen resolution for performance and the small screen size will make it more difficult to notice, but this is probably a bit subjective. Then there's the option of running games lower than the native resolution of the screen.
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Has A Bad Game They Love, So What's Yours?
Action Fighter on the Master System. Back in the day it received generally poor reviews but I liked the different vehicles.
Re: Rush Rally Origins Brings More Top Down Racing Action To Switch eShop This Year
Yes! I love Rush Rally.
Re: Nintendo President Quizzed By Shareholders On Switch 'Pro' And Classic Mini Consoles
He was asked about Switch Pro but he doesn't comment on any products in development. Ergo, Switch Pro is in development.
Re: Poll: Mario Golf: Super Rush Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I had it pre-ordered on Amazon, then I bought something else which happened to be sold by a small business. They had a promotion where if you bought something from a small business they gave you a £10 voucher for supporting them - but it had to be used on Prime day. So, I decided to cancel my Mario Golf pre-order and order it again on Prime day to use the voucher but it was out of stock, LOL!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th June (Europe)
Probably Alex Kidd. I did have the physical version on my Amazon wishlist but the digital version is less than half the price, so a no brainer there.
Re: Takashi Iizuka Suggests Sonic's 2022 Outing Will Be An "Advancement" Of Modern Sonic Games
The last Sonic game I bought thinking it would be a return to form, and by that I mean day one, was Sonic Forces. So, I'm reserving judgement this time. But maybe it wil be OK this time, because Sonic means speed but speed requires big levels and if they treat it like an open world racing game but replace the car with Sonic it will be OK.

Re: Cruis'n Blast Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This Fall
More of this sort of thing.
Re: Talking Point: E3 Leaks Are Inevitable, But Do You Actually Want To Know?
