Don't get me wrong this looks fun but I'd much prefer a remake of the Gamecube game or a new entry, that and we know they'll probably shut it down in a year or two anyway

Don't care about Daisy but why not Wario? Do we really need multiple coloured Yoshi's and Toad's? Game looks great but it's bloated character list is uninspired

@RobTheIII I'll take 2 please, also do you have any snacks whilst we're at it?

@JokerCK all whilst easily being cracked for piracy purposes anyway. This only ever harms legitimate consumers

@Qwiff @Max_the_German yeah I seemed to have clicked on the one site that had the information the wrong way round, silly me.

Though I do recall it having slightly less performance in games such as Doom 3 and Mario Galaxy compared with Switch, largely because of it's OS

@GrailUK thing is this was already 60fps on the Nvidia Shield which is basically an underclocked Switch with less RAM and generally less performance, so it's already been proved the Switch could do it.

EDIT, I got this the wrong way round, the Switch runs at lower clocks but does have more RAM but it does outperform the Shield in games such as Doom 3 due to it's OS

Woohoo I can play Metal Gear Solid 2 at half the performance of the original PS2 version. Thank God for Konami

@russell-marlow there's no reason for this collection to be 30fps on Switch though, its literally a port of a collection that was already 60fps on older hardware and by all accounts its still just 720p on the PS5. Sure wait for reviews but I'd be stunned if the final product was vastly different.

As for the SH HD Collection, sure not having the source code isn't ideal but that's not an excuse for using comic sans for in game textures. These things can be fixed or improved with enough care and attention

@koekiemonster at least with Mario 3D All Stars they made some enhancements to Mario Sunshine, where as this Metal Gear Collection seems to be worse than its own previous release.

At 30fps this is a joke of a collection, why on earth would I consider spending money on a collection that has worse performance than the original game on the Playstation 2?

@Princess_Lilly yeah there's probably worse games on Steam but it's also much easier for a user to avoid and see the games that'll likely interest them

@Princess_Lilly they all have them but the eshop is the worst in the sense that all games are given equal billing. All of the others have some form of curating to feature new releases and with Steam it's very easy to follow developers and be notified of their games. Plus sales on games are much more controlled, where as here anyone can put their game on sale and they're all slapped together in a huge pile

The Switch eshop is awful, not only is garbage like the above given as much prominence as actual competently made games, the sales section is filled with this rubbish as well. On top of that it's painfully slow to navigate, Nintendo really need to get on top of this for a Switch successor

Quake 2 remastered mainly but also picked up a couple of Dreamcast games in Resident Evil 2 and Ecco the Dolphin, oh and the boy wants to go through Kirby Forgotten Land with me as well

A fantastic package of what was already a great game and to think I got it as a free upgrade on Steam. I'll certainly be picking up the Switch version as well, such a shame other games don't get such treatment when ported to modern hardware. It's a bit sad to think that of the N64 FPS games ported to modern hardware, that Goldeneye is in by far the worse state of any of them and Nightdive asked of they could do it but were turned down.

Still on a happier note this is an amazing release and for the price is an absolute steal

@WaveBoy I'm a huge fan of this era of fps games and seem to buy them on every platform I own. They're nice to have on the Switch for portable play but I do tend to play them on my PC mainly. For Quake 2 it's the RTX version which looks really good, so it'll be interesting to see how this compares but I'll still be getting it on Switch and probably Xbox

@Ulysses I was gonna say I much preferred the sky island to the depths which I can't say I was a fan of at all really

Thoroughly deserved for such a fantastic game, so far this year its between this and RE4 for my GOTY. That said there's also a little bit of disappointment, as this pretty much cements the fact we won't see new traditional Zelda games anytime soon, or again

I suppose it depends on your point of view, for me very little of what I played on Playstation is on Switch with the odd big exception. That said it's great to see many classics available even if it's only a small proportion of what was on offer but I'd love to see more, especially from Namco

That is a pretty phenomenal update with 4 fantastic games, Revenge of Shinobi has some of the best music from that era and Crusader of Senty is a must play for Zelda fans

I'm enjoying it, its hard to say if the extra content is worth the price and they should have used Master System versions where possible but we knew this going in and the core package is still great.

The real value is in the physical cartridge and i really like the box art, particularly the reversible cover and it's nice to have these Sonic games physically (yes I know the GG games aren't on it but the main games are)

I picked up the Sonic Origins Plus collection for the Switch partly because it's Mega drive reversable cover is amazing. I'm not sure what it is about the new Final Fantasy but it just doesn't appeal to me

Zelda has been £50 on Amazon and Argos since launch, you'd have to go put of your way to pay £60 for it

It's the weakest of the 3 for me but still it'll be nice to have it on Switch, it was a ludicrous decision to remake the original for the 3DS at a time when the Switch was already out and I'd love to see that one come as well

I can't help but feel this is at least 5 years too late

I've learnt to ignore these sales now (it's only taken until I'm 40 🤣) but I barely have time for the main games I buy, let alone adding more to a never ending library that I'll never play

I much prefer TOTK, Breath of The Wild always felt empty to me and quite lonely much of the time. Where as now Hyrule feels more alive and its NPC's more interesting and that's before the shrines, BOTW had many which were frankly rubbish with that one enemy but every one I've done so far has been fun and interesting. The only weakness is the depths and I feel they didn't need to cover anywhere near the entire map amd would be better served as a few small areas like the Sky is

Overall I liked BOTW but it's way down the list of my favourite Zelda games whilst TOTK is very near the top

Well it wouldn't be Sega if they weren't making stupid decisions, from using the Game Gear versions in the first place, instead of their Master System/Megadrive counterparts and now this. I did consider cancelling my preorder but at least the main Sonic games are on the cartridge and at worst it's a tiny install for the rest

@samuelvictor it's just a code for the dlc, so will be tied to your Nintendo account

The remake quite easily, the game is absolutely gorgeous and is one of the best looking games I've ever played

@clianvXAi they also report Japanese and US charts, so I'm not sure what your point is

@Francema plenty of new Switch's are still being sold, so why not pick it up? It's also why games such as Mario 3D All Stars should never have been removed from sale

I'm thoroughly enjoying Street Fighter 6, I've been out of the loop with fighting games for a while (except a bit of MK11) but have my Mayflash F500 Elite and it's a great way to play this new game. It's also got a wealth of content to be getting on with, from a Yakuza style story mode, a PS Home style hub, complete with classic arcade games and a robust Arcade mode.

Between this and TOTK and RE4 earlier, this has been one of the best years for me in some time gaming wise

@Wexter I was about to reply to them saying the exact same thing and people seem to forget how huge Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat really were in the 90's. With Street Fighter 2 alone estimated to have grossed over $10 billion across consoles and Arcade

This company is handling this property so poorly, between this nonsense and the PS5 remake disappearing into the ether. Everyone who bought this should be offered a refund

I can't think of a game I'm less excited for, 1-2 Switch was barely a tech demo, let alone a game and I've got zero interest in this

@Liam_Doolan wow you seem to have found the most complicated one, there's a very simple way. Just ignore steps 4 to 9 and throw the weapon, immediately pause and load your save and you'll still be holding the weapon with another on the floor

I hated the weapon degradation in BOTW and still do but rather like it here as it keeps giving me reasons to experiment with such a vast array of items, the exception being the Master Sword and I still don't think it's necessary to confiscate it every 5 minutes.

As for rupees, whilst they aren't necessary to play through the game, they're obviously needed for armour upgrades and a lot are needed for a fun side quest. I seem to be able to get plenty of rupees, many side quests seem to give me 100, plus there's that guy with the sign and the many many blupees to farm

@TrixieSparkle 100,000 for all the dream room parts? Why would you ever buy them all as you can only put down 15 and it only costs 6700 to fill the plot of land. I did initially duplicate a few diamonds before the game auto updated but even so, after a few armour upgrades and building my house I've still got effectively all the rupees left from those extra diamonds. Perhaps it'll seem to be more of an issue later but so far I've never found it hard to get money even without cooking or farming

I've updated it as I've never felt the need to duplicate items anyway, same as with BOTW I just mark any resources I need on the map and you basically trip over zonaite in the depths, even star fragments are easier now as they often spawn when you dive from the sky. Plus on top of that there's still a couple of easy dupe glitches in the new patch if you really want to use them

@HeadPirate emulators are legal though as long as they don't contain any copyrighted code, ROMs are the issue and how people get them but you can't take down an emulator because people are downloading pirated ROMs, these are 2 separate issues despite their links. Playing your own discs or ROMs by other means isn't illegal in any way.

The reason this DMCA takedown has occurred is because it turns out that Dolphin contains the Wii common keys in its source code, which is copyrighted material, so in this instance Nintendo are correct to take it down. This is why Retroarch is still on Steam as it's Dolphin core had these keys removed so Nintendo has no grounds to take it down despite the fact you can play many Nintendo systems on it

They're not sorry at all have you seen the state of the game? Whoever authorised it to be released should be sacked and every person buying it should be refunded, yes both of them.

@HeadPirate yet this is about Dolphin which isn't a Switch emulator and is perfectly legal, if Nintendo had any legal grounds against Dolphin they'd have gone after them years ago. They just don't want it available on a rival platforms storefront which is understandable

The old style of dungeons are still much better for me, the Divine Beasts weren't particularly good but the temples in TOTK are quite a bit better, with a much longer journey too them, effectively forming part of the dungeon. Plus the shrines are once again much better than in BOTW, with much less emphasis on that one enemy and more interesting puzzles.

Still I'd like to see a more traditional style Zelda game, even of smaller in the vain of Links Awakening

What's that a percentage of? This just looks like Sony making ***** up to make themselves look good. No matter how you swing it, the Switch has been outselling Playstation for years and it's best selling games are significantly more successful than Sony's

Over 35 hours for me which is very rare these days for any game in such a space of time. This game just has me hooked with so much to see and do no matter where I turn

@Serpenterror I disagree with the arcade comparison for 2 main reasons, the first being that you're effectively renting play time on an arcade game where as these mechanics are gambling. Secondly this is a piece of software that you have access to all the time and you could spend hundreds of dollars in seconds which you simply couldn't in an arcade.

Sure there is responsibility on the end user but to suggest the company isn't at fault is nonsense, these kinds of games are very deliberately designed to do exactly this.

Mario Kart Tour along with the vast majority of mobile games are absolutely scummy when it comes to monetisation and this is why I don't play any of them. The fact that someone could spend $170 and above on something like this just goes to show that they are designed primarily to drain the money of a few idiots and those vulnerable to such mechanisms and they should be banned in all games

@Il_Nintenditore I agree with you, Ocarina of Time is the literally foundation of how we play 3D action adventure games today. Even the recent God of War games adapted to follow its formula and became a huge success off the back of that

How is BOTW top? Tears of the Kingdom is better in every single way and even without that game I wouldn't put BOTW 1st.

My top 3 would be

Ocarina of Time
Tears of The Kingdom
Windwaker

@Mattock1987 the game makes building very easy when you've done certain quests
