Was just about to post the same as above; Raiden Fighters Aces are the real kings of the series.

They did a decent job with 1&2 but I hope someone else is given a crack at Dual Strike and Days of Ruin.

It's too expensive.

"Lego Fortnite slaps."

/avoids Lego Fortnite.

Good; hope they return to the older Zelda style moving forward.

Not supporting this; releasing incomplete physical games that require subsequent updates to fix bugs.

They're really, really annoying; offering pointless commentary to the obvious. "Hey, water is wet, huh?". Terrible addition; you can disable the annoying voice and stick with the text if you want.

Bad take; it DOES need to be backwards compatible.

1. F-Zero GX (GC)
2. F-Zero (SNES)
3. F-Zero X (N64)

The resolution meant less for the Gamecube original being played on CRTs, but is more important now with most people using flatscreens. However, the 30fps is definitely an unwelcome downgrade.

Hope they're not Metroid titles; didn't enjoy Dread.

Really didn't enjoy this game. The EMMI sections were rage-inducing. Hope someone else gets the licence for the next Metroid game (or Nintendo take the series back in-house).

The original core games are both worthy of 9-10 scores but this feels like a somewhat clunky re-skin. For newcomers I'd say it's an 8, but for those who played the originals it's a 7.

I hate the 3-5 second wait after you win a map... it feels like the code is trying to work out if you've won or not. I also want to skip the CO power animations but I can't.

@Thief I hope Intelligent Systems adopt the franchise again.

I've played all the games in the series and am a massive fan, and I'm liking this latest release but it feels a bit clunky and unresponsive compared to the GBA originals. Things like having to wait a few seconds after winning a map match before the victory dialog appears, the lack of contrast on the map to clearly highlight the move range of some vehicles, the fact you can't seemingly turn off the CO's power move animation (but can turn off the animations elsewhere otherwise), being able to only play friends online, etc.

I'd love it if Nintendo or Intelligent Systems themselves handle a Dual Strike/Days of Ruin re-release.

Got 50 gold points for redeeming the cart this morning. No issues.

@Everythingnotsaved it was so grey/brown as well. Completely joyless (gameplay and graphics).

For those complaining about the price, this remaster features things like online mode which the originals didn't have. This is the biggest question mark I have over this game, as Advance Wars could be a bit slow for multiple human players over the internet - I can see the possibility of abandoned games due to timeouts or opponents getting bored waiting for their opponent to make a move.

Pre-ordered, and I really hope sales are respectable as I much prefer this series to the similar Fire Emblem.

This is awesome

Could've put the UK link in the main article too (and not just the US one)?

@Serpenterror thanks a lot for sharing the video 🙂

Unless you can zoom in, that TATE mode looks almost useless. Terribly inefficient use of the screen real estate.

It's a 10; especially when you compare it to the massively-overrated Metroid Dread.

Can't wait for this.

Advance Wars, when?

Mega Man 11 was great... aside from the terrible music. I think there was only one good stage track from what I remember, but otherwise it was a real let-down OST-wise.

This is all wrong. Just release the Switch remake to get the series going again; so many mobile phone/indie indentikit releases that aren't a patch on the original.

The price is not right.

Great, but would've preferred a sequel to the amazing Treasure-developed Gradius V.

Shadow Dancer is a severely underrated game; along with the original it's the most fun to play (in my opinion).

My posture says "no".

@Quarbit they've got lots of treasure?

Another game not worth buying physical.

@Mr_Pepperami I have the same different opinion as you to the reviewer.

As someone who loves the original arcade game and prefers it over the original Bubble Bobble arcade game, this review feels massively off-base to me - that is unless they've really messed up the feel and controls in the shift over to widescreen and modern graphics. But no mention of that in the review, or whether there's a retro graphics mode for purists, etc.

Can't comment further until I play this remake, but for now I'm going to have to read some other reviews.

@Would_you_kindly yep; agree. The music's amazing on that NES version especially. I think it's got a bit more input latency than the 360/PS3 versions though.

The original Pac-Man: Championship Edition is by far my favourite version of Pac-Man ever.

Cyborgs or robots? Hmm... trade descriptions act...

The EMMI sections almost ruin the entire game. The way they instant kill you as well with a spike to the chest; horrible.

Will definitely be buying it. They steadily went up in quality from 1, 2 to Dual Strike (the best in the series in my opinion). That last DS entry (Days of Ruin) was a miscalculation that almost killed the series, so I'm glad they're rolling back on it.

Will buy on a console with decent online (much as I love my Switch for single-player games).

Importing these is going to be a pain in the neck.

The second episode of the rebooted GM was a lot better than the first - hope it succeeds.

Amazing game.

Nice display piece but it looks too narrow to properly emulate the look of tate machines.

Aria of Sorrow is really, really great.

Sounds like nu metal from the early 2000s. Not a fan.

So annoying YouTubers can be found in different languages then? The thumbnail immediately put me off; won't be long before passports insist on "reaction shot" portraits.

The price needs to drop a bit after not being bowled over by the demo (massive fan of the first two GBA games though).
