@Gamecuber I was a poor teenager and spent £45 (probably 6 months pocket money!) on it based on the reviews. I then completed it as Mickey on my first go, as Donald on my second go, and in two player on my own on my third go. I took it back to the shop on the same day. Actually traded it in for Lemmings which I got several hundred hours play out of (and unlimited replay value in 2 player) rather than 3 or 4, tops.
I've never really liked any of the 16-bit Disney games. The 8-bit ones were all much better - Lucky Dime Caper, Land of Illusion, Duck Tales, Chip 'n' Dale... all far better platformers than Quackshot, Aladdin, etc. They just didn't look as good.
SNES game was excellent but the Mega Drive games being missed off the list, even though they weren't very good, is a big shame. Also, the Mega CD one was genuinely fantastic. I'm assuming because these were by Sega and not Ocean they're not included.
@Screen it's not down to Nintendo. They only control the sales on their own games - Capcom and all the other publishers are who to blame for not having the same games discounted worldwide, not Nintendo.
You kids being 15 and playing your first Pokémon game in 1998. Pff. Some of us grown ups were playing Pocket Monsters Green two years earlier in a language we couldn’t understand and with no online resource to help.
No interest in the FE source material but the original FE Warriors is a fantastic game (and I've put over 200 hours into it), and the first HYRULE WARRIORS is in my top 5 games of all time (and I own 4 copies, with over 600 hours on the clock), so of course I'm hyped for this.
For some people (me included) the game has been totally broken (as in, crashes on loading every single time) since November 2019: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-48406
There are two other really impressive numbers not reported here. The first is that in the month leading up to Christmas 2019, the Switch sold 6 million units - twice its nearest rival, the PS4 with 3m. Also, in the week ending 30th Nov, it sold 1.8m. No other console has sold that many in a week for over a decade, and the last consoles to do so were the Wii and DS in 2007/8/9. (Source: vgchartz)
@TophatDragoneye I don't, sadly. The first two series are on Netflix - why not the 3rd? Some of the 3rd series is on ITV catchup, but not all of it! So annoying.
If you are one of the people that got the Nintendo "magazine" free with various other magazines or from The Hut (if you've ever bought from them or the official Nintendo Store before), then there's a code on the back that'll get you a Lite from Nintendo's store for £179. Or 10% off anything else.

Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
The review says the games are 4K docked, but these are vanilla Switch 1 titles - not Switch 2 enhanced, so how is that possible?
Re: Cult N64 Platformer 'Glover' Finally Gets Switch Release Date
It was £18 on the Evercade last year, along with 9 other games, so that’s not really a good price. It’s also not a very good game.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami Brings The Dragon Of Dojima To Switch For The First Time
@mariomaster96 I’m told that it’s possible this is a port of the PS3 version of Kiwami, which would explain it as the other games were not on the PS3.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
I last traded a game in in 1994 [Edit: Actually 1992! Blimey] - World of Illusion for the Mega Drive. I was disgusted by how short and easy it was.
I still believe it was a terrible game, but regret ever trading it. Even though I own it twice again now.
I still have every other game I've ever owned.

Re: Clockwork Aquario Just Nabbed A Guinness World Record From Duke Nukem Forever
Dreamworld Pogie was in development for 25 years (1992 to 2017) so Duke Nukem Forever shouldn't have had the previous record anyway.

@RazumikhinPG Mobile, yes. Gacha, not so much. It looks awful, but hey, the kids like awful games these days.

@Zuljaras This is true, but it is a new game.

Re: A New Web-Exclusive Pokémon Anime Series Is Coming Early Next Year

Can we have the last series of Sun/Moon on Netflix, NowTV or Amazon any time soon though? Been waiting for that for ages.
I mean, er, my kids have been waiting.

Re: Bloodstained Receives A Small Patch As Koji Igarashi Apologises For "Continued Inconvenience"
I 100%d it on the Switch not long ago and didn't have any issues (bar a repeatable and avoidable crash). No regrets - it was fantastic.
