From someone who takes seaside holidays quite often, Cruis'n Blast is always one of arcade highlights of my time away, so it's great that I could potentially play this whenever I want. Really good game and probably the best one since the N64 days.
@ophone We need it to stop selling. We have literally been playing the same Mario Kart for 7 years now. Need something new. It's great that people still want to play, but it's starting to feel somewhat dated. Or even some new dlc would be nice. Anything!
The first one was a fun little time waster that provided some amusing moments. However, it seemed a bit of a one trick pony in the sense that I don't see how it could warrant a sequel. I'll wait for a review before taking the plunge
Been wanting this since it was first announced a few years ago and had it on preorder from August. Something as special as this, definitely deserves splashing on the physical copy.
As excited as I am for this and oh boy, am I excited, when they announced a double pack of the first 2 games, it kinda made me feel a tad sour that Limited Run Games sold them as individual titles. Oh well.
Overall I'm 50/50 on them. It's a shame that not more characters were available, but if you didn't think they were going to include Tom Nook and Isabelle from the get go, who did you think would be? I bought a Tom Nook. Partly because I thought he looked cool and partly because after waiting an hour and 43 minutes, I felt I needed something for my time that I was never getting back. I am excited for him to come though.
Dont suppose any UK amiibo collector was able to get their mits on the Animal Crossing Sanrio amiibo cards today were they? I've been looking everywhere since they were announced and still not been able to find them.
Me and a friend started this just as we were about to go into tge first lockdown. With this current lockdown nearing it's end, we are praying that we can finally get around to finishing. Over 2/3 through, we need to see it out.
Real shame. Sakurai managed to make Pit relevant again after so long away (Smash Bros excluded). Can only hope that one day someone else will be able to do the same.
Still waiting for those Sanrio Amiibo cards to go up for preorder in the UK. They release in 10 days time and no where in the UK has them up for preorder
@Dethmunk Greed because they are relying on the sales with it only being on sale for a limited time. If this was a full retail release with no time limit on it, people wouldn't feel the need to rush out and buy it, other than the loyal fans
I've been a Nintendo fan fir a very long time. I've defended them time and time again on their baffling decision making, yet the decision to stop selling these Mario products is quite frankly, idiotic and dumb. Nintendo do not deserve sales based on something being pulled from the shelf. This is EA and Activision levels of greed.
Just at the final stage on World Flower on Mario 3D World. Assuming that's the last stage, then I'm excited to reward myself with the awesome looking Bowser's Fury. Also hoping to spend some time on SNK vs Capcom: The Match of the Millennium
I have been waiting for this for what feels like forever. I'm glad it's finally here. I was 19 when the first title released and now at 32, I'm just as excited.
Anyone notice the lack of Sylvia in that trailer? 🤔
Whilst a 7 isn't a bad score by any means, it does seem somewhat low considering it was once awarded a 9.6 on the same site.
Also, got my preorder from Nintendo preparing for dispatch with a plush cat Mario, the two new amiibo and of course, the preorder bonus of the steelbook and stickers! Can't wait! 😁
Somehow, they managed to make such a comeback from the first movie. After initial impressions were disappointing, they turned it around and created a really fun movie packed with plenty of charm. Now that they have a dedicated fanbase going, the pressure is on that they don't screw the sequel up. I really hope this is everything the fans want it to be. The title announcement already says it will be.
@Wazeddie22 I've just been watching the dvd box set, not on TV, but you might be happy to know that Comedy Central are bringing it back for a new series! 😀
I primarily have my Switch set up in my bedroom. That's where I get peace and quiet to play games and everyone else can have the TV, but I've been wanting a second dock as I have Ring Fit Adventure and my girlfriend wants to play it and there's more space in the living room. The fact I need to unplug everything to take it downstairs each time is rather annoying. If Nintendo didn't make it impossible to buy a second dock, this wouldn't be an issue. Really hope this means they'll be easier to come by soon
I have all the Mega Man collections except the Zero/ZX Legacy one. Patiently waiting for that to drop to the price of the rest of them before lapping it up
Hoping to finish of Ghost of Tsushima, so I can then make a proper start on either Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate or Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. Gonna try and get some Scott Pilgrim in there too hopefully

I object to the fact that the UK never gets anything like this.

Studio Ghibli is the only studio I would trust to bring us an incredible Zelda movie. Anyone who has seen their past work would agree
Re: Unofficial amiibo Handbook Smashes Kickstarter Goal
Backed this straight away. Being 127 amiibo deep, this seems like something I need, plus Ninty Fresh is the best gaming magazine since the mid 00s
Re: New Animal Crossing Build-A-Bear Character Arriving This Summer
My money is on KK Slider. Seems an obvious choice, but if it turns out to be Wilbur/Orville or Blathers, they might get another sale out of me.

Recently rediscovered my love for Ren and Stimpy and been rewatching Season 1, so I may take a break and play Ren and Stimpy on Mega Drive.
Maybe some Animal Crossing too
