Have the limited run version, was fun to play it again and complete it, because back in the day my save file glitched and erased itself when I reached the final world and I didn't have the will to restart it. So 25 odd years later, I got to do just that and complete the bugger 😂
Great article, highlights a perspective I never considered as a non parent but now it feels crazy to force specific characters on small children. Do better Nintendo!
What a rubbish reveal, oh here, you can play Mariokart again, zero reason to upgrade. No info on specs, no demo of the mouse functionality with a game, no 3rd party surprises, no show off of its power.
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

Re: Rumour: New Switch 2 Rumour Makes Wild Claim About Mysterious 'C' Button
@KryptoniteKrunch Maybe the C on the button stands for Convoluted 🤷
Re: Rumour: New Switch 2 Rumour Makes Wild Claim About Mysterious 'C' Button
If it was a cast button, could it take the image off the switch 2 and turn it into a Wii U without the need for another switch?
Also, I read somewhere the button might just bring up Nintendo Today 😂
That would be the ultimate Nintendo thing to do, overhype then underwhelm

Re: Looks Like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 On Switch Will Require A Mandatory Download
Preordered on Xbox so, don't care.
Re: Activision Teases Tony Hawk's Return In A New Update
THPS3 is one of my favourite games of all time, I'd be all over a remaster/remake.
Even though I've played it countless times, it has the best levels and goals, love it.
Surely the date being 03.04, it would be insane if it wasn't related the the 3rd and fourth games.
And kudos for picking that date

Re: Xbox Is "Really Looking Forward" To Supporting Switch 2
Don't understand some of the negative comments, all this does is boost the Switch 2 library. Portable Halo, like that's ace.
Re: New Star Wars 'Prequel Pack' Launching Alongside Jedi Power Battles This Week
@TheBoilerman I love the first Rogue Squadron, it's so replayable!
I do have a soft spot for jedi power battles, was silly fun on the Dreamcast back in the day
Re: Random: Astro Bot "Almost Outdid Nintendo At Its Own Game", Jokes Reggie
@IceClimbersMain Agree, much better level design
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
7 is fair, good game but it's a really mediocre port, should have been brushed up to Tropical Freeze standards, then we could talk about a 9.
Re: Talking Point: Did All The Switch 2 Leaks 'Damage' Nintendo Or The Console's Reveal?
The leaks gutted it for sure, every feature down the the U shaped kick stand, "C button" and release trigger for the joycon were not a surprise
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
Nintendo has never been so safe and boring
Re: New Mario Kart Teased For Switch 2
It just looked like Mariokart 8 😂

You know what? Genki did the reveal better xD

I said it so you will believe it baby.
Re: Review: CRKD NEO S Purple Wave Edition Switch Controller - Fine For Fortnite Festival, But Not So Rockin' Elsewhere
@Ultimapunch Said to my pal this morning no way it's happening this week. It's their DK returns week.
More likely, Tuesday 28th January.
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: Random: Someone 3D Printed The Rumoured 'Switch 2' Design

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: N64 Platformer 'Glover' Returns As A Physical Switch Release
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!
