I played the original Metal Slug in the arcade in it's lagging glory and Metal Slug Anthology on Wii. No that I really like the Metal Slug game series but the resemblance of SV-001 то "Bonaparte T-01" tank from Masamune Shirow's Dominion Tank Police and New Dominion Tank Police manga kept me playing.
P.S. Before I had seen Metal Slug I happened to play bootleg Gunforce II/Geo Storm in the arcade and thought they were very similar as I later learned it was by the same developer Nazca Corporation.
This weekend I'll return to Killer Instinct on Steam to do some achievements and continue Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Have a nice weekend everyone!
I've played 28 games from the list (some of them are my favourites) and they are definitely good but not 10/10. Every game ever has flaws and there are no perfect games only games you subjectively consider 10/10.
This weekend I started ECHO (a very underrated game) on Steam though I've played it to the comletion before (on other Steam account) and go on with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Have a nice weekend everyone!
Personally I liked only Resident Evil and Resident Evil 3 Nemesis from the original trilogy as well as Code Veronica X and original Resident Evil Remake and Zero. Resident Evil 2, 4, 5, 6, VII, VIII, Requiem are good games but I didn't enjoy them much as they lack the true Resident Evil atmosphere.
P.S. I believe Capcom will find ways to release some form of original Resident Evil collection for their 30th anniversary. Would I buy such a collection? No!
Continuing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and replaying Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl on 3DS. Cherish your time playing videogames while you still can everyone!
My vote goes to Rebecca Chambers. NL do a "your favourite Resident Evil game" poll next so Resident Evil 4 wins but I could vote for my all time favourtite Resident Evil Remake.
I started playing Resident Evil series in 1996 with OG PlayStation Resident Evil release. Nowadays if I were a newcomer I'd start with Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil: Code Veronica X and call it a day.
Voted for Japanese cover though I have a European copy of PlayStation 2 Resident Evil: Code Veronica X (with Devil May Cry demo disc included) which I bought in 2001.
I'll be still playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and to change the pace Mario Kart World online multiplayer. Have a quality time with your games everyone!
This weekend I'll replay PC retail box copies of Discworld, Discworld II: Missing Presumed and Discworld Noir which I have not played for quite a long time. If I manage to fit Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition into this busy schedule I'll be quite pleased.
Since games are expensive I tend to get 100% on every game that I buy. Unfortunately, you can realize how mediocre the Stellar Blade is only after you beat it.
Got all of the achievements in Stellar Blade on PC and I find the game sterile, boring and unimpressive. I want my $79.99 (I've just checked that I have a Stellar Blade Complete Edition) and 93,3 hours back.
"And of course the other thing with multiplatform, that I’m sure most people realize, is that when you do code across multiple platforms you do have to code to the lowest common denominator. But if you do exclusives you can push every lever to 11 in that platform."
How true, from my personal experience (most) exclusives are where the quality at and multiplatform is just multiplatform.
Switch 2 - Finally got time to play Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Steam - Doing achievements in Orcs Must Die 2 Wii - Replaying Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
Switch 2 - Waiting for the release of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond PC - Replaying Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2 with latest patch and mods Steam - Returning to do some achievements I haven't done yet in Orcs Must Die 3
First Alundra is a great game, colourful on the outside and pretty dark on the inside. I highly recommend playing it though be aware some puzzles are difficult to solve if you're not accustomed to the old-school gameplay. I cannot recommend Alundra 2 at all.
I have Fallout 4 with all dlcs on two Steam accounts playtime clocking at 1,623.4 and 569 hours respectively so I don't think I'd want to play Fallout 4 AE Switch 2 edition in the foreseeable future if at all.
Yes, Jet Set Willy wasn't isometric as well as Uridium, Attack of the Mutant Camels, Iridis Alpha, Prince of Persia but a large number of rooms of the blue zone in Lumo 2 is solely dedicated to Jet Set Willy and it is a nice nostalgic touch.
Metroid is my all time favourite series and I don't need any incentive to buy a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Nowadays I wouldn't get any Ubisoft games even if they were free.

Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years
@roboshort
10/10 by definition is perfect no flaws, no bugs, no anything. In other words with a 10/10 game you don't need other games ever.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Star Fox Assault (GameCube)
My vote goes to Japanese cover though European is also fine.
P.S. Star Fox Assault has a nice varied soundtrack and especially a very catchy Main Menu theme.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade, Out Now
@Vyacheslav333
I'll play it for free with the decensorship and retranslation patch.
I've always known you condone piracy. I have zero respect for people like you.

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Might Be Eyeing A Switch 2 Release In The Future

Because I bought it I had to 100% it whether I like it or not.

Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Nothing to interest me but it was ok 6/10.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct February Partner Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
I'd say Professor Layton and The New World of Steam but if it's not an exclusive my interest is zero.
P.S. Personally I don't care but if Stellar Blade were ported to a Nintendo Switch 2 it wouldn't be that unexpected.

Nintendo games only on Nintendo hardware and it will stay that way period.

Thank God Nintendo will never go the way you want them to go.
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Clings To The Top 40
@the_beaver
The Nintendo IPs will stay with Nintendo and go down with Nintendo as Satoru Iwata once said in the interview.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
European cover is artful, too bad the game as a proper Resident Evil is so-so.

Re: Talking Point: Our 2026 Nintendo And Switch 2 Predictions
I'd love to see something completely new from Nintendo in 2026. Though I wouldn't mind Astral Chain 2 or a new Battalion Wars or Arms 2.

Pirate's Curse and The Seven Sirens are technically the best games in the Shantae series.
Re: 3D Fighting Series 'Battle Arena Toshinden' Is Getting Revived For Modern Platforms

Battle Arena Toshinden 4/Toshinden Subaru is the worst game in the series (great anime intro though) that's why it is not included.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Trailer Sets Up The Imprisoning War
I've cancelled my pre-order for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment due to lack of time to play it.
Re: Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Brings The Apocalypse To Switch 2 In 2026
I have Fallout 4 with all dlcs on two Steam accounts playtime clocking at 1,623.4 and 569 hours respectively so I don't think I'd want to play Fallout 4 AE Switch 2 edition in the foreseeable future if at all.
Re: Mini Review: Lumo 2 (Switch) - A Delightful Celebration Of British Retro Gaming
@Glasso
Yes, Jet Set Willy wasn't isometric as well as Uridium, Attack of the Mutant Camels, Iridis Alpha, Prince of Persia but a large number of rooms of the blue zone in Lumo 2 is solely dedicated to Jet Set Willy and it is a nice nostalgic touch.
Re: Mini Review: Lumo 2 (Switch) - A Delightful Celebration Of British Retro Gaming
Lumo 2 pays a very touching homage to Jet Set Willy.
Re: 50 Best NES Games Of All Time
Gun-Dec/Vice: Project Doom, Dead Fox/Code Name: Viper are really good games but they didn't make the list.
P.S. I'm glad that Guardic Gaiden/The Guardian Legend is in the top 50.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th October)
Switch 2 - Finishing up Mario Kart World
Steam - Lumo 2
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th October (North America)
Lumo 2 for me but on Steam not on the Switch.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
Metroid is my all time favourite series and I don't need any incentive to buy a Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Nowadays I wouldn't get any Ubisoft games even if they were free.
Re: Xenotilt, The Eye-Melting Sequel To Demon's Tilt, Is Out Now On Switch
It's a great game with great replay value but the Nintendo Switch version looks worse somehow.

It's a you problem.
