Its like Official Nintendo Magazine and N64 magazine if you lived in the UK in the 90s, official doesn't mean better or more accurate #GoTeamGenki
On a more serious point, Nintendo are lapping up the free marketing so of course they are happy to wait for the reveal to build anticipation. Genki are doing them a favour.
Love how there was rumours for ages about a new 3D DK game and then we get um... remakes of this and Mario vs DK......... Like major let down, let's be real. This game isn't as good as tropical freeze so what's the point?
I don't really get why so many commentators are convinced that leak was real. The photo of the actual hardware looked kinda scuffed, it's easily possible they are just mock ups, wouldn't take a genius.
I kinda love these awkward N64 platformers, though back in the day I made it to the last world of Glover and my save file corrupted and I lost everything, brutal!
I prob would get it again as a sucker for nostalgia, it's an incredibly frustrating game but also very charming.
Really confused from this article if it is going on eshop? And is postage extortionate for the UK if buying from limited run?
Enjoyed it more than expected so gave it an 8. However, the online competition component changing just once a week is limiting as you can quickly put in your efforts and then you just sit waiting
Eh, level design in yooka laylee is pretty pants. We just need Banjo kazooie remake, it's lightening in a bottle and easily in the top 10 greatest games of all time. Yooka laylee would be lucky to make top 1,000.
I bought the GC version a few years ago for about 88 bones, played it for an hour and never again 😂, so yeah gonna pick this up and Mourne the instant devalueing of GC copies lol
I completed Gold stake for first time last night with the blue deck. 65 hours of playtime it took, and it kinda feels like I finished the game which is nice 😊
@Not_Soos "Stellar" is a bit much 😅, It was OK. Hopefully the Zelda film is more than just OK, it's got such a rich story potential that Mario doesn't have.
Bought it today and yip, it's got a pretty addictive loop. Didn't actually get that from watching Alex's video but once you play it boy does it click. Felt compelled to buy it to support the developer after this ratings fiasco
@Sonicka Thanks for trying to help, maybe will get there with practice, guessing for others it clicks more instantly! Still haven't worked out the revving on the ground too, it seems to happen sometimes with press of ZR and sometimes not
Played a couple of worlds and finding I am always fighting the controls, I want to like the game but falling down pits because I can't seem to get momentum going feels tedious, maybe I need to learn some moves, not sure what I'm missing

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (Switch) - Aping A Retro Classic
I would have skipped this but I am currently recovering from a longterm illness, so have ordered it cheer me up, hopefully it does that!
P. S. If you live in the UK you can get it from Curry's for £36 with a discount code, which makes it a lot less ridiculous

Re: New Shenmue III Publisher Asks If You Want To See The Game On Switch
No.
It's an awful, awful, repetitive boring game with zero story pay off for fans of the first 2 games. Avoid like the plague.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week
Not a fan of this one, it's got very bloated over large level designs, just doesn't have the same magic of the 1st one for me.
Re: Forget 'Switch 2', Nintendo Has Just Revealed An Official Alarm Clock
Is it backwards compatible?
Re: Talking Point: How Would You Fix Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Most Frustrating Feature?
It's bizarre they didn't rethink this after game testing, like wtf.

The better question: Why not fake a mainboard?
Re: Does Astro Bot's Super Mario 'Inspiration' Cross A Line? Fans Seem Divided
Astro Bot is everything Mario Odyssey could and should have been. Far superior level design, incredible fun, charm and character.
It's a game Nintendo should envy and yes it is influenced by Mario 64 but it is the best 3D platformer since that very game (and Banjo Kazooie)
Fight me!

Re: Sony On Zelda Live-Action Movie: Miyamoto Has A Really "Strong" Vision
Just saw the new planet of the apes directed by Wes Ball, if the Zelda film is equally as good as that, I'd happy
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th May)
A sprinkle of Animal Well and Little Kitty Big City, and a big dollop of Another Crabs Treasure on the Xbox Series S, WHATAGAME!

Re: Nintendo Switch Surpasses 140 Million Sales As Company Acknowledges Successor
To go from one of the worst selling consoles of all time to the 3rd best, minimum, is a phenomenal achievement.
Re: Nintendo Acknowledges That Successor Announcement May "Impact" Switch Sales
I mean, just be grateful your old system is still selling well and isn't the Wii U, it's time to move on and set sights on the future Nintendo execs.
Re: Rumour: Switch Successor's Codename May Have Been Uncovered
Plain... Hmm.... Interesting if there is any truth to this, it makes me curious how simple the aesthetic of the console could be?

Re: Zelda Live-Action Movie Director: "I Want To Fulfil People's Greatest Desires"
@Not_Soos "Stellar" is a bit much 😅, It was OK. Hopefully the Zelda film is more than just OK, it's got such a rich story potential that Mario doesn't have.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Princess Peach: Showtime!
7/10 is the right score, polished but basic and not the all ages Mario experience that Peach deserved
Re: Review: Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) - Peach Breaks A Leg In A High-Class Production
The demo has to be the most kiddy thing I have ever played, more than yoshis story even with its cringe inducing Laaa, La La La, Laaaa!
