@FatWormBlowsASparky I'd completely forgotten Earthworm Jim was on the MegaDrive Mini - going to have a (re)play on that before I check out 2.

@BTB20 Yep, Galaxy 3 will take a bit longer...

Liking Aonuma's new haircut!

Edge arrived through my front door this morning but I haven't had time to take a look inside. Taking a look now!

I'm old, I don't know who these people are...

My wife is Finnish and loves Moomins so I think we shall be getting this!

@Richnj I've just been looking at their balance sheet, perhaps they used some of their €11M of intangible assets?

OG? What's an OG?

I've been using MAME for a while, it was purely a DOS command-line application when I first used it!

Not 100% sure what Steam Deck really offers me over a laptop and a gamepad, so it's a pass from me.

@chatsworth Just out of interest, what do people do with the artwork they buy of yours on OpenSea?

Don't mind if it doesn't launch this year. I bought 1 & 2 at release for the Wii U and still working my way through 1. If it takes another 5 years it'll probably be ready just in time for me....

@westman98 I know it's not always ideal, but emulation could be an option? It actually looks surprisingly great in 1080p (minus the HUD elements of course...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae1dcvPXryM

I've never even heard of this, but I'd definitely be interested in a localisation.

Looks better than X & Y - that's good enough.

@ModdedInkling They may have known about it, but they didn't have the high-quality scans of it that have just been uploaded!

@fafonio Well, I've just dropped some hints about it with the wife for my birthday next week - I'll let you know my thoughts if I receive it!

@fafonio Wait for user reviews? What difference will that make? Pokémon Sword has 11,000 reviews on Amazon UK with an average of 4.8/5 so the user reviews there rate the game better than the critics...

@EOTW I thought Sun/Moon were great?!

@dmcc0 I saw. Kinda feel that counting all GB models as one platform is kinda cheating, I always saw my Gameboy Color as a follow-up to the original...

@Specter_of-the_OLED What's ahead of Switch now? PS2, DS and...? did PS3 outsell Wii and PS1?

EDIT: I checked: forgot PS4 had done so well and counting GB as one, is almost cheating

@moodycat I'm just about to buy Pokémon Sword I think for me and my son to play through... It's got an 80 Metacritic, 5/5 average on Amazon from user reviews and looks pretty good to me!
What's wrong with the quality of that game?

That's it, I'm finally caving in and buying it. Go on, take my money, just take it.... Oh....

@Supertiefighter I was wondering what they'd do next, as a new Switch Mario Kart would offer little improvement in visual fidelity over 8, but Mario Kart Maker could be the way forwards?

How were the shipped? We're they in a box addressed to her? Those things can affect whether she could hav kept them regardless

@GrailUK I love stealing cars but that wasn't enough for me to purchase the GTA Trilogy...

@fR0z3nS0u1 Openworld Tetris

If they were to include the CD-i games then a poll wouldn't be necessary... (well, perhaps only to decide which is the worst out of the CD-i games)

@Caryslan I seem to remember seeing some figures, that for a period of time PSP hardware was outselling PSP software.

Nate didn't accurate reveal a higher priced tier, he accurately predicted it! (big difference)

Some very nice artwork showcased in that, there are some talented peeps out there!

Ah, missed this last year - will try to check it out!

If I buy Astral Chain can I redeem it on the UK eShop?

They've just done this so that they put it on sale for 99.9% off and still make some wonga..

@JayJ Eh? Steve Purcell just called, he wants his comic back!

Tempting, I enjoyed this on Switch a few years ago but I dipped back into the full version (FM2021) on Mac and it might be hard to go back to Touch....

Looks nice, is this better than Farming Simulator?

Erm... C64?! Are you sure?

@DTFaux Bluey is awesome!

Ugly Cried? Is that some sort of thing?

So I guess it's failed Nintendo's quality control and Way Forward have been sent off to try harder?!

Ah, you haven't found the secret button to unlock the performance yet?

Is this some sort of joke that I don't get?

I'm with you HeadPirate.

Math and maths are both abbreviations of mathematics. The Americans just abbreviate it further so that even the 's' has been removed. I'm not sure if there are other instances of this abbreviation difference between US and British English?

Interwebs seem to suggest that math has been in written use since the 1840s and maths since around 1910. Both of these ways are correct, although you'd get some strange looks saying 'math' in the UK, and I'm sure that would be the same saying 'maths' in the US.

I'm sure Trajan has made some delightfully wonderful points in this comments section, but unfortunately most of them have removed for trolling

If Nintendo do release Gamecube titles on the Switch, I suspect they will be selling them individually rather than as part of a service...

@AlienX Sonic 1 is the ONLY Sonic game in my opinion!

@andyg1412 Yeah, but it wasn't like they just chucked Super Mario Sunshine (and Galaxy) on a cart and they ran. Even if those ports have emulation at their core, it's a bit different to having a generic emulator that can run all Gamecube titles. And would Nintendo go to the effort of optimising every title for the emulator?

Wow, a trilogy of the first three GTA games?! I'm totally down for that!

Finally get to play GTA, GTA: London and GTA 2 on my Switch!

Are we certain that the Switch could even run GameCube titles?
