@Tipehtfomottob I'm a gamer from the '70's and I agree Sonic 3D was nothing compared to SM 64 but saying that, IMHO, Sonic 1, 2, 3 and whatever were nothing compared to SMW that still stand up to this day.
I know it's horses for courses but I've never understood the love for any Sonic games...well apart from Sonic Adventure which I had for my Japanese Dreamcast import machine.
I've loved this series when it was just Street Fighter on The Amiga. Unless you were there, you can't imagine how better SF2 was on an import Snes. You can keep your Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and all those SNK fighters.
@Azuris Very true but I want to play N64 games just like I did in '96 and that's with the original controller, which I thought as brilliant in its day. Far better than Playstation or Saturn pads, which were really not much of an advance on the Snes pad.
@Spiders I'm that old that I had Super Metroid when it came out on Snes - what a game ! I'd have to say though that Dread is far better control wise (well it is 20 odd years newer) but for me, Prime was a massive departure. Either way, they're all great.
As a 'docked only' player, I have an Oled telly that I play Switch on so no advantage to me. I understand why new adopters/undocked players would get it though. Shame they couldn't have kept the price the same though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (4th May)
@Vriess I had this on my Japanese import way back when - imo, the best racing game ever !
And I know I'm in a small minority.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (4th May)
Stellar Blade and finishing off ( hopefully ) the marvellous Prince of Persia.

They'd be mad not to make it backwards compatible.
Re: Street Fighter 6
This is the game.
I've loved this series when it was just Street Fighter on The Amiga.
Unless you were there, you can't imagine how better SF2 was on an import Snes.
You can keep your Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and all those SNK fighters.
Give me a Street Fighter game any day.
Pre-ordered and can't wait.

Re: Switch's N64 And Sega Genesis Controllers Are Now Up For Pre-Order
@Azuris Very true but I want to play N64 games just like I did in '96 and that's with the original controller, which I thought as brilliant in its day.
Far better than Playstation or Saturn pads, which were really not much of an advance on the Snes pad.

Re: UK Sales Data Shows A Strong Start For Switch OLED
I'm sure we'll all agree - Oled or otherwise - The Switch has brought us some fantastic games.
Re: Random: Players Are Already Scarily Good At Controlling Samus In Metroid Dread
@Spiders I'm that old that I had Super Metroid when it came out on Snes - what a game !
I'd have to say though that Dread is far better control wise (well it is 20 odd years newer) but for me, Prime was a massive departure.
Either way, they're all great.
Re: Random: Players Are Already Scarily Good At Controlling Samus In Metroid Dread
@GamingFan4Lyf It is great but I still would put Prime at the top.
Re: UK Sales Data Shows A Strong Start For Switch OLED
Oled or non-Oled... just enjoy the greatness that is Dread.
And all the rest.
Re: UK Sales Data Shows A Strong Start For Switch OLED
As a 'docked only' player, I have an Oled telly that I play Switch on so no advantage to me.
I understand why new adopters/undocked players would get it though.
Shame they couldn't have kept the price the same though.
Re: UK Sales Data Shows A Strong Start For Switch OLED
A great buy for new Switch adopters but for players like me who hardly ever use it outside of docked mode, I can't see the point.
