YoshiTails

Knuckles did it

I returned to pick up a few: affordable space adventures, scram kitty, year walk, armillo, dillons rolling western, alien on the run, starfox guard, chain blaster (cos it was 89p) and the rest of the boxboy series on 3DS

Consider my wallet singed but hopefully have a good time with these 🙂

@John_Deacon same - I know it should be said like Theatre but I always say it like Theatrical...

Also I am not into any FF besides FFVII and I loved the 3DS version and the demo of this hooked me so there I am £50 lighter for a... Rhythm game and... No regrets?

Always my high school nickname, "Bug"

Although I am enjoying these titles more than previous retro additions, the drip feed approach is outrageous. It baffles me these weren't added years ago. Why wait until near the end of thie console's lifespan? And then slap an insult by only releasing a tiny selection of retro games? By now, there should be a Netflix level library of a thousand or more retro titles - maybe this will be the future but the fact it's a subscription service that works slowly like a snail on an escalator to deliver a content range, is irksome. We deserve better from Nintendo.

Am in two minds whether to buy it full price after this patch or wait a few months for a sale price. Sad even having to say this for a Golf Story sequel 😢

Dreadful direct. Goldeneye and pikmin only good announcements but no footage of either and an underwhelming Zelda segment. It feels like the Switch is just living out its last years with little effort and no big risks or reboots of old franchises (like cough F-Zero)

Maybe my limited edition gold majora's mask 3DS console... Or copy of Twin Snakes and boxed Snake amiibo.

@theSiFX That's a good point, an article like this would not exist if a male character like Luigi did a butter

Honestly? Looks like it needs some more time in the oven, looks kinda glitchy. Risk of another Sonic Boom?

Even if it doesn't sell well, Nintendo can afford give the fans an F-zero. Just one release in HD and I could die happy.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles is great, it has a great story arc, some standout levels, Robotnik steps up the iconography, the doomsday zone, the music. I will always prefer it to any 2D mario. Fight me.

Best golf game ever, they nailed the controls, it has better zoom function than the switch version.

I am more of a Mariokart Triple Tasche kinda guy. It is the oft forgotten entry where Waluigi never became a playable character. But the Tasche trinity of Mazza, luigi and Wazza was good enough for me.

Should have roped The Darkness into this promotion - Ta-Ta Touchin Yoooouuuuu!!

Love breakout so I'm all in baby

@Bizzyb Remember Nintendo more or less run a model like this. Tonnes of exclusive IPs.

It is also a good thing because you can access most of gaming now with a Switch and a Series S, which is super affordable and highly pro consumer.

As a Series S owner, this is awesome. Game Pass is genuinely phenomenal. Maybe Nintendo are friends with Microsoft because they deep down want to join forces to kick their old rivals Sony out of the business?

Of course Sony prob here to stay but the Ps5 is an expensive console with a dull as dishwater software offering, so they will have to plan some hotness for ps6 to survive.

agree completely. Current switch success means Nintendo do not need to rush into their next console. I hope it is a 2023 or 2024 release and a POWERFUL console, please!

I mean... That's practically top 100 RPGs 😂

Advance wars should feature, as should super Mario 64 and Meteoid prime. Also super mario world deserves to be higher.

Well it's finally a reasonable price! Just nabbed it for 8 quid in the eshop sale. So if it's pants, i won't care 😊

Sonic Movie > Mario Movie

It is super messed up paying additional money every month for a partially complete service, particularly compared to game pass which drops modern games (not retro games!) constantly.

I thought episode 2 of rebooted GM was a good amount better than the 1st

Totally backing up the series S love here. It's a superb machine!

Probably love it slightly more than the Switch.

In retrospect the gamecube, wii and wii U were all tethered to the same underpowered infrastructure. Nintendo really did get stuck in a box. Hope they pull their finger out with the next console... we'll see.

I think Microsoft or Xbox has learnt so much from its competitors over the last 20 years. The Microsoft of 2002 ruined Rare but I think the Micrisoft of 2021 understands gaming, smaller developers and gamers needs through its past failures. An example of lessons well learned.

@HexagonSun i would put Mario 64 as greatest game of all time but the original Banjo Kazooie is just a smidge behind it. It has such wonderful level design, humour, vibrancy, music and you can zip through it like butter and just feel pure joy.

I am afraid Yooka had some awful level designs, the Casino and that dark swampy one in particular. I think it possibly kept the bloated nature of Tooie and worsened it slightly. That's just my opinion ofc, I hold original Banjo in super high regard personally and love replaying it. It would be nigh on impossible for anyone to replicate its quality

@Liam_Doolan The first game was not a worthy follow up to Banjo, it was an atrocity. Fix this article this instant! 😝

@Don so Super Mario 128?

Waaaahhhhhhh shi tape

Hot cakes! Get yer hot cakes!

Switch screenshots will just be direct ports of ps2 versions 😂

Handheld guy so loving the OLED. Its really nice and premium feeling and love the slightly larger more widescreen feel to the screen. Happy with it. Haters gonna hate.

Ah @ThomasWhitehead. It's great to have you back. Such crisp, punchy writing. Like a light breeze ruffling autumn leaves with a sprinkle of modest humour! Lovely.

I know it's iterative but I really like it. The screen is noticeabley bigger, giving more of a widescreen effect. It feels premium and the screen is lovely and gives some real wow moments.

I think this is Nintendo capitalising on portable market and by keeping the switch the same power they avoid splitting the userbase.They will now exceed the lifetime sales of the Wii. Guaranteed.

I expect the next version to either be 4K or a full on Switch 2. But i couldn't resit the oled, especially with my 2017 launch console being worse for wear.

Love how ot says more straight forward than 3Ds transfer and the article then proceeds to detail like 25 steps, xD

One question: have bought a 400gb micro sd card for my new switch. Is it important to install this pre-transfer?

Thanks

Looks great. Pleased to see it back and fingers crossed for a sequel!

I see a copy of spacestation silicon valley on his shelf, good man. ELEVEN!

So, Box Art Brawl next week for this @Liam Doolan?

Arlo is still in pleats. He may have died for lack of oxygen by now.

Here is one ppl have not thought of...

Pauline.

I just went and bought the wii version off ebay for a grand total of £6.50 lol

Why is not called "Kicking ass and taking names" or "My body is ready"????

No one would have predicted a 2D metroid as the game marketed to show off a Switch upgrade. What is this timeline?

Sigh.... I want a new f-zero more than winning the lottery.

Midna?
Crash?
Master Chief?
Doctor Robotnik?
Waluigi?
Toad?

Bet all those are wrong.

Have preordered already on amazon, need to support this so there is a chance of a new one! Greatest game of all time.

Always good to downplay expectations. I am only hoping for BOTW2 and anything else is a bonus.

And who knows... Even that might be expecting too much?

Love it. Best switch game hands down.
