A Professor Layton game will make me open my Switch again... It is been months since I played in it!

I am a huge fan of the series, I beaten all games multiple times!

@mikegamer You can easily install emulators in retail mode. That is how I have done it. You do not lose access to your retail games this way. MS does not promote it but does not ban you if you do it. It basically is like windows, you can install whatever you want.

@TruthisRare I have a Series S, that is my first Xbox actually and love it. This is where I played Twin Snakes last time. What I would love is if the community makes some frontend like emulation station like the Steam Deck community has done.

I don't think Nintendo has any intention to offer GameCube games in the Switch. They will simply release ports of their first party games like Metroid Prime and Wind Waker and ask 60€ for them.

Other popular games like Resident Evil series have already ports.

A game I miss is Twin Snakes though. The MGS fans seem to hate this game but I love it.
If you want to play GameCube games natively on the cheap use a Wii and homebrew.

Most of the games are part of the Rare Replay game and they are better preserved there that having them in an Online service with expiration date.

As what I would prefer I never played DK64 so U choose this. To be fair, as already mentioned in the comments, some gamed feel somewhat dated.

The game now releases the same day as Resident Evil 4. I have to save money for both of them...

This is way convoluted. Why don't they just release the demo in the eshop?

Am I the only one who has no idea who those two are?

If you have Game Pass the game is there.

WHAT I preordered the PS4 50 euro collection because this was supposed to be a physical only release... I should have just waited... Or resell my copy when it arrives since I don't think I can cancel... The shipping date will the March 23 instead of October 22 for some reason...

Since I got my Steam Deck I have got zero games for my Switch and cancelled my NSO sub. I simply cannot go back and to be honest I was never a big fan of the Switch. It seemed like a Mattel toy and did not have the usual Nintendo hardware top build quality. I got drift very fast and the console stops charging randomly. They joy cons sort of rattle when I attach them. Also, it has corrosion for some reason and no other electronic I have had ever this problem.

What baffles me is why the games starring Apollo are stuck in the 3ds. I would love to see them and play them again in modern platforms... As for the list Turnabout Serenade is very boring having to watch the same bad video over and over again. And in the Great Ace Attorney I didn't like the jury system that much. Seemed like a way to make the game artificially longer.

Also there one or two twists in the end of Apollo Justice that were abandoned in the next games.

@Rambler Yes, I was trying to be semi-sarcastic. TBH if I worked there in HR, for example, as you too mentioned, I would be afraid of losing my job.

I guess they won't fire people as happens sometimes in those kind of mergers...

@Mario500 At the moment!

When we had the Wii U VC we said why pay for all those games again. put them in a subscription. Now we say the selection of games is limited let us buy the games we want... Or we can do it like Sony that announces that you can either subscribe or buy the games without releasing any...

I don't think I will renew next month but mostly because I don't have time to play online atm. It seems like they stopped putting new games, excluding n64 games, I would love if they introduced more systems since they ran out of n64 games.

The poll is missing the option "I was not interested in the game anyway". However, to be honest I have no idea who voiced Bayonetta, who will voice me, who is the director etc...

I don't get it. NOBODY CARES for history YouTube trailers and concept art. You now how to celebrate 30 years of history? Finally release games from the Mega Drive and PlayStation era digitally on all modern platforms!!! And also change Sonya Blade to how she is supposed to look in MK11. How did they make such an iconic character look so dump?

Anyway I saw the above trailer in my PlayStation feed and I literally thought they announced a retro collection for PS4. You can guess the disappointment...

The only modern digital store that classic MK are available is GOG and they play via dos box? I don't really know, they look inferior to the PlayStation versions. There were also on Steam but I think they were delisted. There are workarounds you have to do to make them play in a modern windows system and they obviously don't work on Steam Deck.

Castlevania Requiem is not available in Xbox, nor it will be available anywhere else. It was funded by Sony and it uses an in house created PSP emulator. In any case it is strange that there is no Switch (or PC official) version.

The XBLA version is bugged for me. I have beaten the game multiple times and no achievement was ever unlocked.

Am I the only one who has no idea who Kit and Krysta are? In any case I was not aware of this Nucklocke stuff. It may be interesting to try it. I guess you are still allowed to grind but sounds cool as a concept.

I love Atelier games and like that we will see a game with Ryza and co. one more time, probably the final one. Seems that the game will also come on Steam, PS4 and 5.

@MrBelmont In the Xbox it has been available for ages for 14.34 euros, a semi bizarre price but cheaper. The strange think is that the publisher is ... Microsoft Studios!

Thanks for the heads 'up, I wish-listed it on Steam. The game looks cool.

Seems to be a totally new entry even though I would love Ryza 3 or even a game to end the Dusk saga. Also, I would love a PS5 cross buy version they did it sith Ryza 2 but not with Sophie 2 for some reason. Also, I would really like if they stopped milking the fans with the very expensive digital editions and 50€ season passes but they won't obviously

Local shops already sell the Splatoon 3 + console bundle...

As for the charger stuff I have the European versions of NES Classic, SNES Classic, PlayStation Classic and Mega Drive Mini and NEITHER of them has a charger only a generic micro USB cable.

@Anguspuss In Greece we have since the good old days of the euro crisis 24% vat in most goods and only companies do not pay vat for some goods. I have heard cases from people that have small companies buying PS5 for the "company" without paying vat! The situation is crazy. In mobile phone bills we have 24% vat + another 12% on top of it! Same for tv channels with subscription.

@Dimey Thats what I care about too if I am honest. I don't even care if the box is in German language which I can't read!

@Dimey Oh I did not know it. You are right, seems amazon always shows the full price... I simply stopped buying from amazon.co.uk after the Brexit! Still due to currency conversion to euro I think it was a bit cheaper to order from a eurozone country.

Some other shops show the pricing for me after I try to check out. I remember wanting to buy a 60 euro Anbernic handheld but after shipping, import, customs etc. it ended up about 110 euros and I did not buy it.

@Anguspuss 109 euros plus 10 euros for shipping in Greece... It really is expensive but I couldn't resist...

I just ordered on at amazon.de since the uk store will charge import and custom fees. I have about 45 days or so to decide if I will keep or cancel the preorder since amazon charges you when it sends it.

I love Tintin but the choice of comic to adapt is not that great. Cigars of the Pharaoh is not one of my favourites...

I really wanted one but console + game gear module + shipping + taxes + customs was almost as much as a new console. So I guess I am stuck with original hardware and the steam deck

Oh man I wanted a Mega Drive one but they made the 6-button version. I ended up getting the retrobit one that has an adapter for the OG Mega Drive but it needs a USB adapter to connect to the PC.

This piece of junk never worked for me as advertised anyway. You would have to be very lucky for it to work.

I am not that interested in this series but am I the only one that thinks that this is a missed opportunity to sell a physical trilogy with all three games in a 3 card pack?

@Ralizah Or some may say "no physical version=no buy", "I already played it", "the switch port is downgraded", "I will play them on game pass for free", etc. To be honest I am guilty of this too in other ports, I always end up playing the PS4 versions.

In a more serious tone I never got why they remake P3P and not FES that has the extra story...

If the game was coming next year Switch and/or PS4 and XB1 versions should be available but the game is years away. The next generation of consoles will be easier to find and buy and a game of this scope should not have old hardware as target platforms.

Unpopular opinion: I don't like this game like at all. I got it near release. I always found the story dull and the gameplay very boring. I never felt any horror elements. The supposed sanity meter plays a small role since most of the times you can simply outrun the enemies. Releasing so close to the remake of Resident Evil didn't help either.

To be honest I don't care if they change some songs. I just want the games to run well and I will love them to include the 8-bit versions as dlc. I have already preordered the game...

@Would_you_kindly Yes, that is my point that first party ps5 games won't be heavily discounted from now on regardless of how old they are...

I don't remember any first party Nintendo game having more than 33% discount... Sony seems to have adopted this too for PS5 games...

I don't understand the point of this article. SF6 may be released on a hypothetical Switch 2? And suddenly it is a bad thing we have exclusives? I thought exclusives sell consoles... Maybe then we have no problem with a PS4 version of Zelda or an x-box version of Spiderman? Sony paid for the development of SF5 so they got the game, what's the big deal, Sony has done this many times, Nintendo has done it etc...

@Kisame83 I tried but I ended up paying way inflated prices about one or two pounds more. I guess because my credit card is in euros, and I pay for the currency exchange. I bought only one or two games.

@starlac How did you do this; I get the error in Nintendo's website that you can't....

@PtM I emailed them and they said ot is not possible...

I cannot merge my accounts since they obviously have to be in the same country. I have a UK in the Wii U because there was not a local e-shop then. Now I have a Switch account in my country and there is no way to change the country in the Wii U account.

You can now use a script called emudeck and downloads and configures all emulators automatically. Everything I tried till the PS2 generation worked. I haven't tried switch games, but it can handle most of them.

As for games you are stuck with the proton Linux emulator thing but most games I tried played perfectly. You do not have access in Game Pass or X-Box store though. I have not tried to install Windows yet but I may try it when Windows 11 will be officially supported (only Windows 10 are supported till now). As for the ergonomics Steam Deck is one of the most comfortable handhelds I have ever played why more comfortable that the Switch.

You can charge the Steam Deck while you connect it to your TV though if the type-c hub you have supports charging. I have tried it and it works. The Deck will have an official dock sometime in the future.

@BlackenedHalo Insane how they will look in portable mode. I guess like a pixelated mess like the ones in XC2.

On topic there are many games I would like to return. Outrun is surely one of them even without the Ferrari cars. A new Phantasy Star rpg of Daytona would also be cool.

What I really want though are Master System, Game Gear, Saturn and Dreamcast collections of classic games. Most of those games are not easily accessible in modern hardware. I know that those consoles are not as popular as the Mega Drive, but they still have an audience.

The best would be SEGA arcade ports but this is highly unlikely...

@samuelvictor I am beyond hyped for the collection, in fact I already preordered the PS4 version. But I would love if they added other games like Sonic 3D or the 8-bit entries, even as paid DLC.

Back in launch this game has performance issues even on PS5. I enjoyed it though.

I have the game in Steam and really recommend it.
