@Luigia Shinobi is amazing, but I'm personally leaning towards Ninja Gaiden right now. Ninja Gaiden's levels are at times too long and become a little tedious, but it a much more direct game. Shinobi is essentially a Metroidvania. There is much exploration and goodies to find. I personally prefer a more 'arcade' approach. In fact I'd love to see Ninja Gaiden in an arcade style, just straight levels. Punchy, and to the point.
Imagine if you could actually freely and easily trade cards? That would be something. Trades make absolutely zero sense. Also the drop rate for cards has gotten terrible. I opened a new pack of a new set and got three identical cards. It's a laughable cash grab. However, the art is wonderful, the app runs brilliantly and battles are fun. But a trading card game with a horrible trading system is pointless.
@Warioware Thery're actually pretty impressive. Best played on a meta Quest headset. This allows you to alter the colour and see the true vision of the system.
The VB was actually a really cool system, or rather idea, but the hardware of the time couldn't realise the vision. The best way to experience it is via a Meta Quest headset. However, I think that this is really cool. A crazy peripheral.
@ShadowRJ To show willing perhaps, like "hey, we here you guys". But, facts are if enough people start voting with their feet and not buying them, they will have no option but to stop making them.
It's a brilliant game, but I find the action is interrupted at times by the Kunoichi Sections. I wish you could play the game in it's entirety as her. She is far more fun then the Ninja, or at least in my opinion. What I would truly truly love is a modern game like this, but done in the original 8-bit style. A Mega Man 9/10 situation.
At this rate the switch is going to require an external harddrive solution. All these key cards will quickly kill even a 1TB card. If this is one, it must surely be 70-100 gig.
Yes, RR was amazing for the time but it's so overhyped. It isn't fast or exciting, the engines sound weak and the handling just isn't what everyone makes out it is. There are so many superior arcade racers.
It's cool to see them releasing something that hasn't been available before and is actually pretty good, unlike much of the rubbish they pump out. But, the price is silly.
@SalvorHardin They need to go back to basics. HD reboots of the first three. Or even a HD reboot of Mortal Kombat 360 version, that was an excellent version. I still don't understand why we don't have the arcade collection on modern systems. Surely a simple and lucrative port.
I'd love to see an app like this but only you have to collect NES and other system box art cards. Add in foils of characters etc. That would be awesome.
It looks phenomenal, I just hope it doesn't include the two continues and a couple of lives that these guys are known for. Just give everyone the option to turn that on or off.
This game is amazing. Remember the fun days of trawling the XBOX 360 store and all-new Indie storefront? I spent many a late night downloading endless amounts of games, but mostly looking for shooters. I happened to find this new release one Friday night and struck absolute gold. I pray that someone makes a physical version. this game needs preserving.

I remember a similar project being on KS some five or six years ago. It's a cool idea but that artwork is absolutely shocking.
Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
@Quarbit Well yeah, they're not real people.
Re: 3D Fighting Series 'Battle Arena Toshinden' Is Getting Revived For Modern Platforms
These games are mostly awful. Give us Tekken 1,2,3 colelction.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Play NES Games These Days?
Yes, all the time.

Re: It's Official, Minecraft Is Getting A Second Live-Action Movie
What they should make is a Minecraft Dungeons game. So much more scope. Although I didn't think this film was terrible.
Re: Switch 2 Reportedly Sold 2.4 Million Units In First Three Months On The Market (US)
@Clammy Agreed. But, those game prices are starting to tumble. I saw SF6 for £32, and all others reduced by 10-15
Re: Beat 'Em Up Classic Double Dragon Gets A Modern Revival On Switch This October
This looks terrible. Best thing about it is the original arcade cabinet at the beginning.
Re: Antonblast Appears To Be Jumping On The Virtual Boy Bandwagon
O.k, now this is awesome. This is what more developers should be doing.
Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
@SuntannedDuck2 The Genesis V.R was literally unplayable due to jerky framerate, but looked seriously cool. I know I would have been an instant buyer.
Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
At this price it should also come with a replica controller. Those pads were very cool.

I literally forgot this existed.
Re: Fast & Furious: Arcade Port Cruises Onto Switch This October
@joey302 They were talking about it a couple of years ago. The arcade originals though, not the N64 jank.
Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
@Erigen It's designed around it's adoption. It will be fine.

Re: Atari 50 Is Getting Yet Another DLC Pack, This Time Focused On Namco Titles
That 2600 is quite hideous, but the release of the latest 7800 pac man is fantastic news.
Re: Square Enix Rules Out Switch 2 "Upgrade Path" For Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
I'll obviously opt for the SW1 version then. No silly game card.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Scores Switch 2 Release Window
At this rate the switch is going to require an external harddrive solution. All these key cards will quickly kill even a 1TB card. If this is one, it must surely be 70-100 gig.
Re: Classic Atari 2600 Title 'Adventure' Is Being Revived As A Metroidvania
@SoIDecidedTo This game is nothing to do with Adventure. It already existed but without a publisher and Atari liked it's looks
Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 Is Already Breaking Sales Records In France
How on earth is the PS5 the biggest console launch in France?
Re: Review: Arcade Archives 2: Ridge Racer (Switch 2) - Still A Thrill, More Than 30 Years Later
@MarkSeteth72 If you enjoy your racing games a bit slower and less exciting g all power to you.
Re: Classic Atari 2600 Title 'Adventure' Is Being Revived As A Metroidvania
It's not actually anything to do with it though, nor an Atari game. The game already existed and Atari felt that it fitted their vibe.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives 2: Ridge Racer (Switch 2) - Still A Thrill, More Than 30 Years Later
@MarkSeteth72 it literally is though.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives 2: Ridge Racer (Switch 2) - Still A Thrill, More Than 30 Years Later

Re: UK Retailer GAME Cancels A Bunch Of Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders
What a surprise, as will many other retailers. Sadly they just accept far more pre-orders than they can ever fulfill.
Re: 'Castle Of Heart: Retold' Revamps The Soulslike Platformer For Switch 2
I really didn't care for the original, this at least visually looks much much better.

Re: Review: Arcade Archives NebulasRay (Switch) - A CGI Deep-Cut After Decades Of Waiting
It's cool to see them releasing something that hasn't been available before and is actually pretty good, unlike much of the rubbish they pump out. But, the price is silly.
Re: Here's A Look At The Size And Inside Of Switch 2 Game Cases
@ParrakerriRush How would you see art on the inside of the box through a solid clamshell?
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Looks To Be Winding Down Support With The 'Definitive Edition'
@SalvorHardin They need to go back to basics. HD reboots of the first three. Or even a HD reboot of Mortal Kombat 360 version, that was an excellent version. I still don't understand why we don't have the arcade collection on modern systems. Surely a simple and lucrative port.
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@Anti-Matter It's digital only.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
Come on Zion, this isn't a question. It's ludicrous to even consider selling this.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Includes Support For Variable Refresh Rate Technology
@sixrings No. Hence why it says archives 2 and Switch 2.
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Is Getting A Limited Run Physical Switch Release
@Theghostofkeithmoon Just buy the Japanese version, you won't have to wait six months for it either.
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance Is Getting A Limited Run Physical Switch Release
Complete waste of time unless you enjoy waiting six further months for your games. Japanese version is the way to go.
Re: 'Operation Night Strikers' Brings Four Action-Packed Arcade Classics To Switch This Year
@Bocky I'm right there with you. Operation Wolf on 464 was fantastic for the time.
Re: Talking Point: Will Metroid Prime 4 Get A Switch 2 Release?
Obviously a launch title. Hence why it was scrapped and started over.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Surpasses 100 Million Downloads
I'd love to see an app like this but only you have to collect NES and other system box art cards. Add in foils of characters etc. That would be awesome.

@JohnnyMind Physical pre orders up on Amazon right now. Comes out in May.
Re: "Capcom And SNK" Inspired Fighter Blazing Strike Outlines Plans For 2025
@JohnnyMind I just browsed two articles randomly and saw that you posted the same response in both articles. Hence my question.
Re: "Capcom And SNK" Inspired Fighter Blazing Strike Outlines Plans For 2025
@JohnnyMind is this your standard answer?
Re: Random: Metroid Prime 4 'OG' Amazon Pre-Orders Are Being Cancelled
Obviously a Switch 2 launch game and exclusive. No mystery here at all.

Re: Nintendo's Official Magazine For Winter 2024 Gets English Digital Release
@1UP-HUSKY it's really good. And you only pay local postage rates regardless of where you live in the world. Order to your door in about a week.
