I was actually very disappointed with Blue Storm. Maybe because of how much I loved WR 64... I got a Gamecube on release and that was one of the games I got with it. I seem to remember the reviews not being glowing and they weren't wrong imo.
Sonic was never a rival to Mario. Sonic was all speed and no finnesse. I liked Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast but Mario games were/are always much more entertaining and brilliant.

Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch OLED - The Screen's The Star
I cancelled my Oled pre-order as I realised that I never play my Switch undocked.
I'll happily play my current Switch on my LG Oled.

@Nameless_Shame If I'm honest mate, I wasn't counting those.
Re: The Donkey Kong Series Has Surpassed 65 Million Sales Worldwide
As good as DKC looked all those years ago, it was no match for Mario.
Tropical Freeze is great but still no match for Mario games.

I was actually very disappointed with Blue Storm. Maybe because of how much I loved WR 64...
I got a Gamecube on release and that was one of the games I got with it.
I seem to remember the reviews not being glowing and they weren't wrong imo.
Re: Soapbox: Wave Race 64 Is Now 25 Years Old, And It Still Rules
25 years old !!!
I had this on import for my jap N64.
Where does the time go !
Re: Soapbox: Wave Race 64 Is Now 25 Years Old, And It Still Rules
One of the best arcade racers of all time.
A remake is long overdue.

Give me Wave Race 64 with this pad of GTFO !
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@SurfRaichu I can't wait until the release of Metroid Dread.
What have Sega got coming out ?
Another sub-standard Sonic ?
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@SurfRaichu Sega - I like them. They've made some great games.
Nintendo - I love them. They've made even better games.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@SurfRaichu I had a Megadrive on import probably before you were born.
And you don't think Snes Mario didn't need fast reactions !!!
Back to school for you, boy,
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Yesterday's Nintendo Direct?
A tad underwhelming but I'm definitely getting the N64 controller.
I loved it back in '96 and I'll love it when it gets its new release.
Now give me Wave Race 64 to play with it !

I really should know better at my age but I can't wait for this !
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, 23rd September
A true follow up to Wave Race 64 or remaster would do, a new F-Zero and a release date for MP4 please.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
There's only one Shigeru Miyamoto.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@Josh2396 same here.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@Caryslan No it's not.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@KiraMoonvalley I think the main thing is - we've all got a wonderful hobby that we all love.

Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@ShadowofTwilight22 no idea what that means.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@KiraMoonvalley I'm not saying all Sonic games were piss poor but Mario games have been consistently great.
I can't see an argument against that really,
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@ShadowofTwilight22 It's just that yours are wrong.
Re: Hardware Review: Can You Really "Make Your Own Switch Pro" With This $100 Dongle?
I'll just wait for my pre-ordered Oled Switch I think.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@ShadowofTwilight22 Opinions are good.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@ShadowofTwilight22 No joke smiley ?
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@ShadowofTwilight22 Not denying that they were good games but as far as true platformers go, SMW is still to be bested.
IMVHO.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
@ShadowofTwilight22 I'm talking about gameplay wise.
Sonic games had none of the intricacies of Mario.
Compare SMW to any Sonic game...
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
Any game where you've not got control of the character (i.e Sonic) for any length of time, no matter how short, is not for me.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival
Sonic was never a rival to Mario.
Sonic was all speed and no finnesse.
I liked Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast but Mario games were/are always much more entertaining and brilliant.
Re: Hardware Review: Can You Really "Make Your Own Switch Pro" With This $100 Dongle?
Switch/Lite and OLED models will/are selling so well that they don't need a 4K model for quite a while.
The wiley old Nintendo foxes...
Re: Hardware Review: Can You Really "Make Your Own Switch Pro" With This $100 Dongle?
So it's McBollox then...
