@-wc- I find it hilarious how they say this is why Nintendo hates emulation, all whilst Nintendo sells its customers a literal emulation service on Switch.

Not to mention that the post they're commenting on shows the game on an actual Switch, so emulation has absolutely nothing to do with it.

@Kestrel if anything it encourages exploration and experimentation as this allows you to use them anywhere in the world. Those fans and other things are generally only placed where you actually have to use them

OK that's just gone straight to the very top of the games I'm excited to play

@RetroGames there really isn't, most people are quite normal and don't care about such things but you keep on enjoying your odd fanboy life

@RetroGames as a Sonic and Sega fan, I can honestly say that Mario being successful makes no difference to me whatsoever. Who cares which games or films generate more money? It's not like we're getting any of it.

As for the Mario film, the trailers look pretty fun and I might take my little boy to see it and I really enjoyed the Sonic films

@-wc- I'd agree with that, Metroid Prime looked significantly better than most games that gen and was arguably the best looking, plus it was 60fps too, Star Wars Rogue Leader would be up there for me as well

@Cia the dual stick controls are a big upgrade and I really enjoy the original game, as for the doors they look better now anyway

Great review and an easy 10 for a fantastic remaster of what was already one of the best games ever made, with the only negative being worse motion controls than the Wii and that's entirely down to the hardware anyway. The new controls are great, the visuals are some of the best on Switch and the new doors look better anyway frankly

Just an absolutely brilliant game that's as visually appealing as anything I've played on PS5, which shows that tflops aren't everything

Well yeah they could, Goldeneye has been emulated far better by the community for a decade, you can play 4K60FPS, mouse and keyboard and upscaled text. All without the z fighting issues, poor music, enemies clipping through walls, slowdown, incorrect strafing speed and other issues that the Xbox and NSO versions have.

It's nice to have them but it could have been so much better

Sounds like on Project 64 without the correct RSP or plugin, hopefully they fix this

Well apart from some visual effects being missing and the sound isn't great either with some of the music sounding off, which is very noticable in the pause menu. Hopefully Nintendo fix this as it doesn't look to be a great emulation of it

Well if they're going back to a more Sonic Adventure style world then it makes sense as you wouldn't have the room to use it but it'd be nice to have it in there in some form

These days I almost always go digital, partly as I mainly play on PC and have no choice but mainly because physical is nowhere near as attractive as it used to be.

I love physical for older systems with manuals which are a big part of the experience and the ability to just put a disc or cartridge in and play the game without worrying if it's installed and how often are you actually playing the game that is on that physical media these days? On PS5 for example Ratchet and Clank doesn't even have a 60fps mode on disc, whilst HFW is a blurry mess and the less said about what's on Cyberpunks disc the better. For Xbox you probably dont even have the game on disc at all at times due to smart delivery, this is less of an issue on Switch but still very much there.

So overall I see modern physical games as an inconvenient way of accessing what is essentially a digital library anyway and it always makes me feel sad when opening the box to see no manual

I'd love to see more toon Link, Windwaker is still my favourite Zelda game and Minish Cap is brilliant too. Nintendo should make smaller scale Zelda games alongside the likes of Breath of The Wild

@HotGoomba it's amazing on PSVR, I'm hoping for a PSVR2 update for when I get that

And pretty appalling value compared to the Atari 50th collection and well anything else to be honest. This should have been one cartridge at most

@somnambulance excessive? It may well be a fun game to play but it's hard to ignore that the game looks dreadful and has performance issues

Once again proving how easily people are influenced by a brand rather than the quality of the actual product. This looks to be quite comfortably one of the worst looking major game releases we've seen on any console and whilst graphics certainly aren't everything, this game just looks very poor by any standard.

If people enjoy playing it then great but this level of polish should be unacceptable and especially for a franchise that basically swims in money

This is my favourite game on the PS4, a great game with high replay value

@somnambulance yep, it being short is a strength for me and I've already replayed it many times.

My first console was an Atari 2600 and many great times were had, with such collections there is always going to be the disappointment of missing third party/licensed games sadly. That said there are still plenty of great games on here that are still fun today, Tempest 2000 is a brilliant game in any generation whilst Asteroids, Crystal Castles, Yars Revenge and Millipede will always be fun and the reimagined stuff looks like fun.

My copy comes today and I'm really looking forward to it

How about they start by trying to catch up with the original Xbox.

It'll be a very long time before I consider subbing to NSO again, they're online functionality is truly awful, cloud saves don't work for every game and their drip feed approach to gaming libraries mean I'll probably be dead before we get anything approaching the Gamecube

First of all I've got to say the review on here is ridiculously harsh, granted I've not played the Switch port but short of it being broken I can't come close to seeing where the reviewer is coming from

For me its around an 8 at the moment, the controls are pretty good and just running around as Sonic in the open world is great fun. Some of the dialogue can be a bit dull but quite a bit of it is intriguing and I like what they've done with Robotnik here. So far I'm about half way through the second island and loving it so far

I'm about 6 hours in (on PS5) and it's the best 3D Sonic game I've played for a long time, really takes me back to those Adventure style games and is certainly the foundations upon which future titles should be built

New Leaf, Horizons has some good new features but is a bit disappointing overall and it doesn't feel like your little community matters and it leans far to heavily on its crafting

I moved on from it a long time ago, good game but one that sadly added as much as it removed. Hopefully they build upon it for the next entry and perhaps add a real story mode to it amongst other things.

Oh and remove all the nonsense around cloud saves, sharing towns and even local multiplayer

@Moonlessky so Switch is getting the free update then, that makes this review even stranger given his main positives were for content you don't need the paid upgrade for

The thing is fishing and survival mode were a free update on the other platforms, so I'm guessing that's not the case here? I mean if Switch is your only means of playing this then maybe there's some value, though that price is ludicrous. I'm playing it on PC where I can install much better mods for nothing so haven't upgraded

£60 for Skyrim with a few mods attached? What an absolute joke, get it on PC for much less and download vastly superior mods for free

I'm curious as to why it isn't that previously leaked version of Goldeneye, that looks to be much better than the version Xbox is getting now

One that's been on my wishlist on Steam for a while, as a fan of this type of game I'm really enjoying having so many of them either returning or new ones being made

Ion Fury was one of the best FPS games of recent times and this looks to be at least as good if not better, overall I'd have to say the Realms Deep showcase is the best I've seen this year, so many great games on the way

I've no problem with these games coming to Switch but they should be budget prices or compilations. There's no reason to be selling them individually at as full prices games but we know Nintendo will do that and thats why I just emulate their older titles.

For balance TLOU is even more ridiculous at £70, especially when the same game is already playable on PS5 at 4K60FPS

@Branovices yeah Switch and I'd say Playstation are the platforms where this makes the most sense, I didn't bother with the upgrade on PC as there's so much I can add anyway

Pretty sure the fishing part was part of a free update for every other platform regardless of whether they got the Anniversary edition. Speaking of which the Switch and Playstation are the only platforms where this version even makes sense as one has no mods and the other may as well have no mods.

I actually recently picked up the Special Edition on Steam and chose my own mods amd Skyrim is still better than most games I've played since it's initial release

It's great how these cheap Quake and Doom ports are getting better post launch support then most AAA games and they're still fantastic games too

About time and some great tracks too

The future of video games where to pay to not even play them. I say future but many are already there

This makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of the fact it has Russians in it this is a 25 year old game, it could just as well be they're waiting for the game's own anniversary for all we know

NFT's copying something they don't own? Well I never

@GrailUK I'm so excited to be getting these, Tempest 2000 is a brilliant game and I can't wait to play the new Yars Revenge and Swirdquest Airworld amongst many others

@NinChocolate it's a 3D platformer and they've shown how he moves and interacts in that 3D environment, how is that a negative? I'd much rather games showed their gameplay as opposed to just showing cutscenes

This is looking better the more we see of it, I'm looking forward to it

Hands up who's surprised? In this corporate world we live in, money is far more important than anybodys lives or well being

I keep forgetting that app is a thing given how utterly useless it is as well as being completely unnecessary

@GrailUK same, that first reveal looked rough but I've seen lots of footage today on YouTube and I think it looks really good now

There's nothing to suggest Nintendo are deliberately withholding content at launch but there is a worrying trend with Nintendo these days. Animal Crossing was pretty bare bones at launch, the Mario Party entries aren't exactly brimming with boards, Switch Sports is missing Golf and has much less content than Wii Sports Resort, Mario Golf and Tennis were also lacking at launch in courses and characters respectively.

Some of these have filled out since, yet I'm now at a point where I'm ignoring these games at launch and waiting until the content is added

@Dr_Corndog I wasn't aware of that, I don't think I ever played as just Sonic, then again I never found it that difficult to get the emeralds either

I don't get all the fuss of Tails losing rings in Sonic 2's special stages, he only collects the rings you'd miss anyway and I never had a problem getting them with him around.

As for the story mode, it makes sense given they're his games and designed primarily around him

Whilst live service games can be hugely successful, everyone's time is finite so not many of these can be supported and for every Apex there is an Avengers or an Anthem. Not to mention that a large part of their earnings tend to be from a small percentage of the user base who are susceptible to their predatory monetisation

I can't understand that after Wii Sports Resort, the scope of these games seems to have been reigned in quite drastically. Then again this seems to be a worrying trend with Nintendo as Mario Golf and Mario Party have been bery lacklustre compared to previous entries, that and releasing them basically unfinished.

I'll probably wait until golf is added before getting this as it'll still be fun with the family
