@Classic603 It's one of those "narrative puzzle games" with some stealth sequences (don't let the Darlek see you) a random shooting section, and some decent usage of the Weeping Angels (this is all based of the original VR version, this has more content)
@Clammy There short story they did for lockdown (I think its Terror of the empty urns) that has 13 written by Moffet. It's, well, short but you get a tiny glimpse of what it would be like
@JonComms I don't think they actually meet in this, this seems to be an expanded version of the VR game (10 wasn't in it) but there was a comic with them meeting and it was pretty good (as the Doctor Who comics go)
Of the... "Green" Links the SS one is my favourite. I greatly desire owning either of these things but just cant justify the expense, hopefully they'll still be around when I do have spendables
Yeah I'm gonna pass. I dont need another pixel remaster of these games. Something like the upcoming Dragon Quest 3 one sure, happy to drop whatever they want for something like that.
Dont get me wrong, I think hardware wise the steam deck is cool but I get the feeling its going to be a pain to live with. I just have images of me 6 months down the line swearing at it as I wage a fiddly battle trying to balance the new game's performance against the system's limitations.
Dont get me wrong, its something Valve could very easily fix on their end but we're still waiting on the other things in the store they was going to fix, other than trying to police boobs.
@ItsOKToBeOK my understanding is that selling the saves themselves wasn't the issue, it was the way he was creating them by screwing with software/hardware that was the crime. Selling the saves was just how they found him
I'm glad its not something I "need" to buy, it's a revision which is cool, if my switch break's I'll upgrade to this as my switch playtime has shifted more towards handheld play (but not completely)
I saw the trailer on Netflix, I was wondering if someone had just taken the name for a separate Three Kingdoms film because it was fairly dry. Then someone uppercutted someone into the sky, electric guitars kicked in and Lu Bu glowed red. And all was right with the world.
I think during E3 times all articles about leaks should also include an additional fake leak to cloud the waters a little.
Sure there will be people who get disappointed when the fake leak doesn't happen, but there will be some stunned people when an intentionally fake leak turns out to be right.
All I want from that Sonic stream is Sonic Adventure 2 on Switch, don't care if its a straight port of the GC version, the XBLA one, or a full remake. Just SA2 on Switch.
It's pretty clear the Classic Mini's existed to offset the cost of all those Wii U's sitting on shelves, the success of the Switch means it's not needed.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Mini Classic 64/Gameboy appear in the gap between third parties mainly supporting "next-gen" machines and the launch of Switch 2
@Vapeguy Yeah. Don't get me wrong a lot of Ubisoft's open world games force me to take a break at some point and come back later, I was expecting this to do the same but I simply have no desire to step back in.
I was okay with the semetrical sticks back when these was pretending to be SNES pads, still use mine on the switch, and for gamepass streaming but at this point they are long past their cos play stage, and for me, it's time for them to have a asymmetric layout
I remember lots of people saying with Link's Awakening came out "this is how they should do the pokemon remakes" those people are less than happy with the result.
To be fair to them, if the studio behind this put the same effort in as LOZ: LA remake they'd be happy.
I said the same with the Let's Go games, I don't like remakes that don't bring the games up to date, so far on the artsyle side of things this isn't delivering.
When we heard rumours of it being "chibi style" my brain instantly pictured a Link's Awakening style 1:1 remake and this is pretty much that. Dont get me wrong it's not been done anywhere near as well.
As much as his voice is iconic for the Mario brothers and co but it's super weird when he speaks in full sentences, it might be easier to have "proper movie voice actor" to use his performance as a base whilst toning some elements down to work. This worked with Sonic, it should work with Mario.
Talking about it feeling like a sonic team game gave me flashes to when everyone was excited about might number no.9 because it was "Megaman's creator freed from Capcom" and its just awful and we're left to question just how much the creator actually did on the old games.
I'd happly pay for "Mario Bros" remakes of the various Mario games. A "proper" 2 player co-op 3D Mario would be awesome, just thinking about it is giving me world of illusion flashes
I just knew this was going to be poor the second the first trailer appeared and for some reason the CGI cutscene didn't match the CGI show.
Then the first gameplay appeared and it looked super bad but I saw wayforwards name, had a little hope that the full package might be something more but nope games still bad.
I don't get why though. The IP can certainly support a game, the studio isn't crap, and its not like this had to be rushed out the show its named after finished 2 years ago, and the games set up doesn't seem to tie into either of the other Arcadia shows, both of which are finished, or the upcoming movie.
I'd love to see Urbosa but that'd be another Sword users and I think Smash is tapped out of sword users.
I'd settle for literally any spear/staff user, I don't care if its Krystal from Starfox, one of the million in Fire Emblem, Lu Bu from DW, or Mipha from BOTW.
@Kriven I'm confident that's one of the reasons MS bought Bethesda to secure their content (and that ORION streaming tech they showed off last year.) for the "streaming wars".
@MrGawain In theory I agree but its not like the retail model hasn't stopped the annual recycle of CoD or sports games making stupid amounts of cash every year.
Plus if memory serves gamepass "pays" developers based on metrics like how often the game is installed and how long players "engage" with it. So if the game does poorly they earn less money and might not get invited back next time.

Re: Reminder: DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
Everything about this game bothers me, which means my daughters are going to just outright adore it.
As it should be.
Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
@Crockin I get the feeling that Mario Maker has sort of replaced NSMB.
Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
@fakemaze739 I'd happily settle for some sort of DLC . I know my daughter would love it there was Peach DLC
Re: 'Retired' Sonic Voice Actor Announces His Surprise Return To The Role

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #85 - Dragon Quest
don't get me wrong I voted Japan, but I was impressed how the West's cover was more of an adaption than we usually see.
Re: Switch Is Getting A Brand New Peppa Pig Game This Autumn
Oh no... I really hope this doesn't pop up on my daughters' switch news screen or I wont hear the end of this.
Re: The Apple Vs. Epic Lawsuit Has Sparked 'Xbox Game Pass On Switch' Rumours Again
I'd love gamepass streaming to come to the switch. At the moment I have to use my phone and a controller, its not exactly comfortable.
Re: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Stream Will Reveal New Game Information
I adored XI, I look forward to XII.
I did hear someone thinking a HD remake of the 3DS VII remake using assets from XI would be annouced.
Re: Nintendo Says It's Already "Looking Into" Animations Beyond The Mario Movie
Dreamwork's Dragons team should do Legend of Zelda.

@Vapeguy Yeah. Don't get me wrong a lot of Ubisoft's open world games force me to take a break at some point and come back later, I was expecting this to do the same but I simply have no desire to step back in.
Made me play BOTW again though.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Is Getting New Characters, Modes And More In 'Mr. X Nightmare’ DLC
Don't get me wrong, looking forward to this but I'd probably enjoy 4 player online co-op more.

I certainly time for Mii's get upgraded, lets drag that BOTW NPc engine over, or at least let games use it.
Re: New 4K Switch Model Could Launch For $399, Analysts Suggest
Sadly I already have a "don't need to but it is better upgrade" purchase, the Switch pro would have to wait.
Re: Video: Pokémon Fan "Fixes" Diamond And Pearl Remakes With This Slick Concept Trailer
Diamond and Pear are the last Pokemon games I played before X&Y, they just made me tap out on the classic style games.
As such I don't have much interest in the Chibi remake, I was hoping it was going to be like Sword and Sheild but hey.
Re: Mini Review: Kill It With Fire - Arachnophobes Need Not Apply
This screams "made for VR" to me.

Re: 'Pokémon Presents' Live Presentation Announced For Tomorrow, 26th February
It's worth noting this isn't a Nintendo Direct, so expect lots of non-console games announcements
Re: Kill It With Fire Lets You Murder Spiders With Excessive Force On Switch Next Month
This seems like a game that would work better in VR
Re: DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power Is Coming To Switch This June
My daughter went insane after watching the trailer
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 17th February
I'm a little worried with Smash being referenced, Smash reveals tend to eat up a fair amount of time in these things.
Regardless, woo! New Direct
Re: Charles Martinet Would Love To Voice Mario In Upcoming Illumination Movie
As much as his voice is iconic for the Mario brothers and co but it's super weird when he speaks in full sentences, it might be easier to have "proper movie voice actor" to use his performance as a base whilst toning some elements down to work. This worked with Sonic, it should work with Mario.
Re: Video: 11 Great 3DS Games Overshadowed By The Nintendo Switch
Considering how 90% of the designs in DQ8 are in XI it wouldn't take much to make an "HD" version of it for Switch
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #77 - Super Mario 64 DS
You know what? If this game featured full four player co-op I could get on board with the Japanese cover.
Re: Video: We're Not All That Impressed With Balan Wonderworld's Free Demo

Re: Feature: Super Mario And Friends - A History Of Mainline Mario Multiplayer

Re: Turns Out Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's NPCs Share A Common Bond With The Humble Mii
This bothers me, just think of all those games that used Mii, we could have got sequels with BOTW ESC characters
Re: Surviving The Aftermath Brings Grim Survival Strategy To Switch In Spring 2021
I have this on Xbox early access it's evolved a lot whilst I've had it.
I like it a lot. It obviously shares DNA with surviving Mars.
May pick it up again on switch if it reviews well
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #65 - Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Judging exclusive by the art I prefer the Japanese one but its ruined by the... warning text? So I voted against it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #63 - Advance Wars: Dual Strike
I'd "get" the JPN cover if the series was about toy soldiers.
