So so happy this has finally arrived. This IS the greatest shoot-em-up of all-time. Downloaded it immediately that it was listed, played for five hours straight. Still as mesmerising as it was all those years ago.
@Nua Why? It's excellent value, when you consider a single Joycon is more than half the cost. Honestly the best peripheral you can get for the system, completely changes it.
I am once again madly in love with this game. That water still looks and feels incredible, it's threatening and then helpful. I remember buying my N64 with this game, going home, turning it on and just being blown away. To me this was true next level gaming, this was the arcade at home.
It's a brilliant idea with a cool and vibrant aesthetic, however it's awful to play. locating the ball is far too difficult for a game centred around just that.
if the screen filters are the same as the first one, which I assume they are, they're actually brilliant and are only outdone by the ones on Gley Lancer. Maybe you didn't set them up correctly.
@larryisaman I've never known a single game that I've pre-ordered go live at midnight our time, not one. So much so that I will never set aside time or a day off to play anything new as it never arrives until 3-5pm

Re: Retro Fighters New Bluetooth Brawler64 Controller Is Switch-Compatible
@electrolite77 who knows, they haven't come out yet. That's exactly what this is for. The original for N64 is fantastic.
Re: Out Now: Treasure's Classic Arcade Shmup 'Radiant Silvergun' Surprise Drops On Switch
@SpringDivorce Fullscreen 4;3, it never ran in tate
Re: Out Now: Treasure's Classic Arcade Shmup 'Radiant Silvergun' Surprise Drops On Switch
@RandomNerds It's a 4:3 aspect game, it never ran in tate mode.
Re: Out Now: Treasure's Classic Arcade Shmup 'Radiant Silvergun' Surprise Drops On Switch
@ecco6t9 It will definitely happen. far too many companies doing these releases now and they all know this is absolute GOLD.
Re: Hori Officially Announces Switch Split Pad Compact Western Release
@RupeeClock previous split pad one was excellent.
Re: Surprise! Fitness Boxing Fist Of The North Star Has Been Announced For Switch
This is actually decent.
Re: Surprise! Fitness Boxing Fist Of The North Star Has Been Announced For Switch
@Bunkerneath My friend has one of these, it's pretty rubbish to be honest.

Re: Reminder: Today Is Your Last Chance To Redeem eShop Cards On Wii U And 3DS
@Elvie Alle shops go the same way, that's why digital is absolutely not the answer and never will be.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Wave Race 64
@TioRogerio Yes. This is the definitive version of the game.
Re: Sega Announces Space Channel 5 And Comix Zone Movies
@ATaco The painful '90s aesthetic is what makes it awesome. Without it, it could just be any other movie.
Re: Poll: So, Wave Race 64 Or Blue Storm - Which Is Best?
@Anti-Matter Sure, if you like playing rubbish games go for it.
Re: Poll: So, Wave Race 64 Or Blue Storm - Which Is Best?
@Anti-Matter Do not waste your money on that game, it is dreadful, especially on switch.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Wave Race 64
You missed out the second and final Japanese release, the white box. I personally think that one is best.
Re: Hori Reveals The Split Pad Fit For Nintendo Switch
@Qphlat27 I literally just said the same thing. Amazing piece of kit. I'm not sure I want a smaller one though.

Re: Random: Mobile Game Spotted Using Official Nintendo Imagery
There is literally a mobile game that uses Super Mario World sprites, like actually Mario and Luigi.

Clearly down.
Re: House Of The Dead: Remake Gets An Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@NinjaNicky My point is we are talking about using the Joycon as a lightgun. In doing this it uses the IR pointer, not the gyro control.
Re: Mario Galaxy Meets Rocket League (With Guns) In Twin-Stick Shooter 'Aniquilation'
looks like a poor mans nano assault
Re: House Of The Dead: Remake Gets An Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@NinjaNicky Gyro and joycon is not the same thing.
Re: Review: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium - Captures That Arcade Magic In A Quality Package

Re: House Of The Dead: Remake Gets An Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@NinjaNicky exactly, and when using the joycon as a pointer, they are terrible. I've tried them with this game and it is god awful.
Re: House Of The Dead: Remake Gets An Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@NinjaNicky Yes, but they work terribly, and it will always work terrible with joycon regardless of what it's sat in.

Re: Review: F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch - Frustratingly Close To Metroidvania Greatness
@larryisaman All games are released on a N/A time scale, meaning if you're in the U.K you wont get it before mid to late afternoon.
Re: How Do You Improve The Switch Pro Controller? Just Add Some 'Click'
Add Turbo functionality obviously. I cannot understand why every controller does not feature it.
