"One could almost say NL's review was rushed." You clearly think it was but don't seem to have the stones to say it outright. Chris has explained what he did and the huge amount of work, time and effort he put in to put out a prompt review. I appreciate the detailed review so promptly. I'm much less fussed about the figure at the end.
D'oh! When I first saw this I immediately thought it was a "rare replay" type games collection. Makes me all the more disappointed its a copy and paste of a press release.
Nintendo is full of messy ideas because of their refusal to follow the trend. Some of those messy ideas are fantastic, which is why I stick with Ninty.
Given America is at least 5 hours behind us it still irks me that the European update comes later, especially as we used to get it on a Monday. I'll let it go eventually. Probably when I'm dead.
Sounds good. Heard reports of people not getting coins when pokes returned (and not due to 50 a day limit) Still playing Pokemon Go despite a few attempts at stopping...
I too am in the minority in preferring the smaller version - just seems more portable. Not yet my favorite ever, that's the game boy micro (another overlooked version)
Sounds good. If I'm lucky enough to be online during the four seconds these are available I'll definitely pick them up. Still want a dancing Darunia one!"

@DBailey where do you work mate?
Re: Poll: A Retro Quest - Were You Able to Buy a Super NES Classic Edition / SNES Mini?
I tried for pre-orders but missed them usually because I was at work.
Scoured my town yesterday and again no luck.
Re: Review: FIFA 18 (Switch)
@gamermole agreed! I loved ISS64 and since then have stuck mainly to Mario strikers etc.
Probably spent the most time on Sensi on the Amiga overall.

Re: Review: Golf Story (Switch eShop)
Excellent. Was looking forward to this and seems to live up to my hopes.
Re: Review: FIFA 18 (Switch)
Always a pleasure to read Chris Scullion's work.
Haven't played FIFA since the FIFA 64 (shudder.) Will get this.
Re: Reminder: Arcade Archives Mario Bros. is Out Today
I'm afraid these arcade games don't interest me.
Re: Rumour: Data Miners Find Evidence of Pokémon Crystal in the Gold and Silver VC Releases
Really tempted by these, but the nostalgia is outweighed by how slow and laborious these games (eg TMs being one time only) these games are nowadays.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st September (Europe)
Thimbleweed and Dig 2 join my "waiting for a discount" list.
Re: Review: NBA 2K18 (Switch)
Ouch. Wasn't getting this anyway.
Re: Sega Dreamcast: Collected Works Looks Like A Dream Come True
D'oh! When I first saw this I immediately thought it was a "rare replay" type games collection.
Makes me all the more disappointed its a copy and paste of a press release.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Direct?
Its weird, like the last one it was good but nothing really jumped out at me.
I was always going to get Mario and Pokemon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th September (Europe)
Been waiting a while for discounts on a few Switch games, guess I'll have to keep on waiting.
Re: Mario Party: The Top 100 Will Combine The Best Of The Series On 3DS
Have wanted something like this for ages.
Wish it was on switch though.
Re: Overcooked: Special Edition Update Brings Silky-Smooth Framerate
Excellent. Looking forward to getting round to playing this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th September (Europe)
Really want to play Isaac but that price is a little steep for me. Got enough on to wait for a while.
Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution
Nintendo is full of messy ideas because of their refusal to follow the trend. Some of those messy ideas are fantastic, which is why I stick with Ninty.
Re: Some Retail Nintendo Switch Games Will Require You To Own A MicroSD Card
"it makes Nintendo's recent agreement with SanDisk to create themed MicroSD cards a little more understandable."
Not to me it doesn't.
Re: Sensible Soccer Spiritual Successor Sociable Soccer Spotted On Switch
Sensible Soccer is probably my favorite football game. Spent many an hour on my beloved Amiga playing Sensi!
Re: Mario And Link Themed Micro SD Cards Are On The Way For Your Switch
Amazed its taken them this long to put a Mario image on a bit of cardboard - as that's basically all they've done.
Re: Mom Hid My Game Will Try to Find a Home on Switch and 3DS Later This Year
I thought it was noticeable how the enthusiasm quickly disappeared from the broadcast whilst discussing this game.
Bit funny to me.
Re: This 400GB Micro SD Card Looks Perfect For Switch Owners
I've bought a 128 and figure that'll last me til 256 falls in price. Not downloading big games this time.
Did for WiiU but had a 2tb hard drive.
Re: Nintendo Confirms a New Nindies Showcase Presentation for 30th August
Orcs must die please!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th August (Europe)
Will get Astro Duel Deluxe. Think my wife will like Piczle but I'll wait for a discount.
Re: Review: Rocket Fist (Switch eShop)
Excellent. Downloading this tonight.
Re: Soapbox: The SNES Classic Edition Pre-Order Farce Proves Nintendo Hasn't Learned A Thing
Agree with sentiments.
Surely I wouldn't be the only one happy to give my money now so they could make more and be sure of selling them?
Re: SNES Classic Edition Has A Rewind Feature To Make Up For Your Ageing Reflexes
@ZachBeacon I was just going to say that!
Ninty make some more please!
Re: Review: The King of Fighters 2000 (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)
Yay! Chris Scullion!
I'll leave it at that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th August (Europe)
Got Graceful Explosion Machine on discount.
Will probably wait for discounts before getting Ironcast and Rocket Fist.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th August (North America)
Given America is at least 5 hours behind us it still irks me that the European update comes later, especially as we used to get it on a Monday.
I'll let it go eventually. Probably when I'm dead.
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild's First Free Item Distribution is Live on Switch
I'd finally stopped playing this but some cool gifts might get me playing again.
Re: Mayo Wins in Splatoon 2's Battle of the Condiments
Mayo is disgusting. Like cheese.
Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy and Majora's Mask Included in Latest European My Nintendo Rewards
Used up my expiring points last month. Might get Majoras Mask. Had the game since the N64 days but never finished it.
Re: Video: Overcooked: Special Edition on Switch Could Do With a Little More Time in the Oven
As long as its comfortably playable these sort of things don't bother me.
Re: Capcom Reportedly Gearing Up for Multiple Nintendo Switch Titles
@luchacomics I didn't please see comment 149.
Portable RE4 would be pretty sweet.
Re: Capcom Reportedly Gearing Up for Multiple Nintendo Switch Titles
@edgedino that's the thing. I've got RE4 at least 3 separate times. 5-7 have never been on Ninty systems so it'd be vaguely fresh.
Re: Capcom Reportedly Gearing Up for Multiple Nintendo Switch Titles
@edgedino I was trying not to be too greedy! Already think I'm asking too much with 5-7.
Re: Capcom Reportedly Gearing Up for Multiple Nintendo Switch Titles
Resi 5, 6 and 7 please.
Re: Poll: The New Nintendo 2DS XL is Out This Week - Are You Tempted?
Love my new 3ds. Always found the XLs too big (won't fit in a suit pocket) so won't be getting one unless my new 3ds breaks.
Re: AtGames Confirms Its SEGA Genesis Clone Systems to Roll Out Ahead of SNES Mini
Will get one of these, assuming they make enough for me to be able to...
Loved populous and speedball 2 on my megadrive.
Re: Steampunk Turn-Based Strategy Game Ironcast Lands On Switch On 10th August
Always like the sound of turn based strategy!
Re: European My Nintendo Rewards Bring 3DS And Wii U Games You Can Buy With Your Gold Points
Glad this has started, unfortunately already have all of them...
Zen pinball and Runner 2 especially are really good.
Re: Pokémon GO iOS 1.39.0 & Android 0.69.0 Update Rolls Out
Sounds good. Heard reports of people not getting coins when pokes returned (and not due to 50 a day limit)
Still playing Pokemon Go despite a few attempts at stopping...
Re: Editorial: In Praise of the Smaller New Nintendo 3DS - The Best 3DS*
I too am in the minority in preferring the smaller version - just seems more portable.
Not yet my favorite ever, that's the game boy micro (another overlooked version)
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS is Discontinued Globally - An Era Ends
I really like my new 3ds, always thought the xl type models were too big to lug around.
Won't fit in my suit pocket!
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th July (Europe)
Nothing for me. Having finally done with BOTW will catch up on my reading until some decent VC or discounts come along.
Re: Playdius Adds More Games to Its Switch eShop Line-Up
Loved Super Sprint back in the day. With a bit of depth and variety, and crucially a reasonable price (a fiver?) these could be good offerings.
Re: Europe Is Getting The Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Champions amiibo Four-Pack
Sounds good. If I'm lucky enough to be online during the four seconds these are available I'll definitely pick them up.
Still want a dancing Darunia one!"
Re: Review: Flip Wars (Switch eShop)
Looked intriguing and sounds like good fun. Might wait for an update or sale though.
