Not bothering with the demo. I played the entire game on PS4 so I already know its fantastic. Got the Switch version pre-ordered so I'll just wait for the full game
Just finished the demo for this, had a ton of fun. When it came up at the end and asked if I wanted to go to the eshop to check out the full version, I clicked yes. Then I saw the price and left. £44.99 LMAO. brand new physical games don't cost that ffs. No way in hell am I paying that for a digital title.
I have an N64 controller where the analogue stick has gone loose, and my original DS hinge is completely gone and both screens are being held together by the ribbon cable... though it was my fault for dropping the damn thing. Had zero issues with anything else!
Damn, that's a good deal, and a great selection of games to choose from too. Far too often these bundles have crappy games haha. Shame I already own a New 3DS XL and a New 2DS XL!
Based on what I've seen today in videos, if you want to spend that kind of money, get a Retro Link for a little less that gives you virtually the same quality, but allows you to plug in any composite/component/S-Video console!
Forgot this was out tomorrow, until I got an email earlier today telling me it was being dispatched lol. Avoided the demo because when I played the first game's demo I was just getting into it when the demo ended and I hated that I had to wait a month or so at the time to get the game (was already out but I didn't have the money lol). So sod playing the demo this time around! I'll wait for the full game. And thankfully I don't have to wait long now .
Luckily for me, I'm getting Sword and my friend is getting Shield, so we can just swap games when we're done to play through them again and see the different version exclusive stuff
Gonna need a demo of this to try it out before I consider buying it tbh. It LOOKS good, but so did Daemon X Machina and that sucked based on the demo .
This seems... incredibly pointless lol. Neither game is rare or expensive to pick up still, so this is only really going to appeal to hardcore collectors who will want to keep them sealed up and sat on a shelf to look pretty. Why couldn't they just give us a damn bundle of games for modern systems?
Free regular content updates? Spyro? Well this is nice . Genuinely had no idea this was a thing. I pre-ordered the game when it was announced and I've not really kept up to date with it lol.
I was thinking this was just gonna end up on PS4, but its coming to Switch? Absolutely picking it up! Played the original version on PC and its tremendous. Absolutely gonna enjoy replaying it on the Switch!
Got this yesterday and having a bunch of fun with it. Yeah, its disappointing that they took out the all stars transformed stuff, but the racing mechanics are still top notch, race tracks are visually great and fun to play, and the team aspect is unique and fun too. I have no idea who most of the characters are though, and based on them talking during races, I don't want to know anything more about them .
Dammit, looks like I'll be spending even more money on the game. Not often DLC packs/Season passes interest me, but I so loved the first DQ Builders and I've had the second on pre-order for a while now, so I'll absolutely be paying for the extra stuff lol.
My friend works at the publisher that published this, so he got it for me nice and cheap. Great book, and my NES want list jumped from 20 games to 90! Apparently he's also doing a SNES and Megadrive one, if the publisher is anything to go by .
Looks so much better now. Old version reminded me too much of the visuals for the PSP version of Dracula X Chronicles. Dark, grey, dull, boring, awful. Glad he took note of fan comments and improved it!
Nothing really for me in May (the new Sonic Racing game MIGHT be something I pick up, but I'd need a demo of it first tbh), but June and July are STACKED for me. Got a bunch of games pre-ordered already and a few others I want but haven't pre-ordered yet (mostly because I refuse to pay over £40 for any game lol).
I want Cuphead, but amma wait for that physical release with the DLC later this year. Only thing I'll be getting in April is the Konami Arcade bundle thingy.
They really are obsessed with the soundtrack for this game lol. Would be nice to see more gameplay footage, racing tracks etc instead. Otherwise this one will just be forgotten about what with CTR remaster coming out not too long after this is due to release...
I'd already pre-ordered the game for the same price elsewhere, but decided to cancel that one and pre-order this one just for the hell of it. FREE STUFF!
Demo for the first game was awful. I was getting really into the game and then it ended. How dare they!!! And I had to wait a month before I could afford the full game. I think I might skip the demo this time around and just wait for the full game.
