@Lizuka I dunno I’d take another strikers game. Esp if they tied to the World Cup somehow. Been playing the hell outta the GameCube one recently, still holds up.
Way back in the 90s i sold my snes at a local market and instantly regretted it. Whenever i walked past the market after that they had my copy of teranigma with my save file playing. Haunts me to this day. Worst decision selling my snes with over 20 games + super scope for a measly 90 quid 🤢. Now whenever i see an article about teranigma it reminds me if this!
I remember the camera on the original being awful. Has that been addressed here? Also, is there a demo? Would like to play this again but a demo would be good to try it out first.
I picked them up cos I can’t help myself. Then kind of regretted the decision. Until I started playing and, oh my, I forgot how much of a genuine masterpiece these games were. The new textures and bump in resolution makes a huge difference over the 3d all stars version. Only gripe is it doesn’t really work too well in handheld mode due to giro, but happy enough playing docked (still not perfect but works fine enough). The soundtrack is utterly brilliant and just playing these games is magical. Worth every penny!
It’s fun to speculate, but all these comments are kinda doing my head in. When they originally showed botw running on wiiu it was the same thing - everyone was concerned the open world looked empty, and look how that turned out. We don’t even know this is open world yet. I am confident Nintendo ain’t gonna drop an other m sized ball here. If they didn’t care then they would have let Bandai take the reins way back in 2019. But no, they wanted a great game so they took it back to retro. Trust the system. I’m 99.9% confident this is gonna be an amazing game that was worth the wait after all these years. And if it’s not? Well let’s open that conversation when we’ve all had time to play it first hey!
I've abused my switch battery. Constantly playing for an hour and sticking it back in the dock to charge back up to 100%. Still runs fine. Still, nice to know they care!
Grandma is one of the best Nintendo tunes. I used to sit in her house just to listen to the music. Years later I saw Koji Kondo play it on piano at the Zelda orchestra performance. Sent shivers down my spine. Incredible!
What amiibo do I want to see? How about the Zelda and Ganondorf amiibo released just yesterday which are already sold out everywhere except eBay where they are twice the rrp. Make enough of them FFS.
@Leon-San I am also a motorcyclist and I can tell you Wales has some amazing riding roads. The road from Brecon to Aberystwyth (black mountain pass, devil’s elbow pass etc) is particularly awesome.
GREAT Article. Da iawn! As a fellow fellow Welsh man I relate to a lot of this article, but also a bit of an eye opener for me as I didn't even realise we were this represented!
I know it's not on nintendo systems, but I had several smiles during my playthrough of elden ring - lots of Welsh names and accents throughout.
Pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning to find such a well written article on my favourite gaming website celebrating my homeland. Keep the village alive!

Would love them to release prime 2 + 3 on switch. Can’t see it happening now though. Unless maybe prime 2 comes to the GameCube library

Re: Poll: So, Have You Used Zelda Notes Yet?
Most of the stats for both games are 0 for me. I thought it was a timing issue but I've left it for ages now and still the same.
E.g. Time spent in Hyrule = 199 Hours, but Enemies Defeated = 0 etc etc etc
Anyone else have this problem?
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera - Shocking Image Quality, But Its Cuteness Will Snare You
They should have just put a camera in the switch console ala 3ds etc. It could even work when docked if positioned at the top. Switch 2 Pro maybe

Re: Sony Vet Shuhei Yoshida Says Nintendo Is "Losing Their Identity" With Switch 2
The switch form factor is pretty spot on for me, so a more powerful switch is exactly what this doctor ordered. Bring it on. Can't wait.
