Re: Review: I and Me (Switch eShop)

Sleeper by name, sleeper by nature - the reviewer took a full week after release to publish this review!

Anyway, I bought it cos I'm a sucker for anything cat related. It's relaxing and pleasant, a touch repetitive so a 7/10 I think.

Re: Review: Super Mario Run (Mobile)

Tried demo, feels like a blatant cash-in to me. Very simple, short levels. There's nothing wrong with it but it's not groundbreaking and probably get as much fun out of jetpack joyride.

Re: Feature: The Wii U's Journey - Four Years of Excellence, Failure and Indifference

Well in a sense you can call it a "swift decline", it feels more like a long, drawn out death, that started some time in 2015. The day the NX was announced was probably the beginning of the end and as a Nintendo fan this year has felt anything but swift!

Imagine if the Switch had been released instead of the Wii u. It would have been killer. Today with tablets less fresh, it feels like a risk. But a calculated one at least, Nintendo are determined to make a controller with a screen work - hopefully they shift at least 5 times more Switches than they did Wii Us.

Re: Were It Not For Rare's Tim Stamper, Wave Race Would Have Featured Boats

I liked the look of the boats! Never played Blue Storm, still curious to try it.

That was an intriguing video- Blast Dozer, Excuse me princess Link, Kirby Snowboarding...

Also interesting goldeneye was in given that Grant Kirkhope once revealed Nintendo withdrew funding but rare kept it in development.

Such an amazing period of new games and experimentation, the Wii U makes the N64 look like a treasure trove of software support.
