Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2

ibookboyuk

I’ve been thinking. It’s perfectly possible Nintendo will put the GameCube Wind Waker on Switch Online and sell the Wii U Wind Waker HD for full price.

(The strictly limited release of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars with Super Mario Sunshine is making a bit more sense now Sunshine is coming to Switch Online.)

Re: Rumour: GameCube Revival Planned For Nintendo Switch Online

Literally this is what I’m most excited about, more even than Switch 2. For months now I’ve had a GameCube controller as my phone Lock Screen Wallpaper and I want to change it only when Nintendo release the Nintendo Switch Online official GameCube controller.

Games I’m hoping for are Wind Waker, the five James Bond games and Extreme G 3.

Re: Pool Fever

Good game. I use it to chill out and it’s really good for that actually.

I really like this game now I figured out you can aim more accurately with the L and R buttons. (Controls are not listed in the game settings so I didn’t know.)

Also pressing the Y button to get a sort of isometric view of your aiming can be useful.

Re: Random: Chances Are You've Been Pronouncing 'Balatro' Wrong

I actually really like articles like this. I love finding out the right way to pronounce things.

(I find it’s often the C.E.O. of the company that clarifies pronunciation.)

My favourite story on this subject is Lidl, a supermarket here in the U.K. It is pronounced LEEE-dl in their native Germany but they have their ‘Middle Of Lidl’ that rhymes and they have to keep this LIHH-dl pronunciation and I like that we’re keeping it.

Its poetry brings me joy. 😊

Trials Rising demo. I am so excited to find a game like this. I used to have a motorbike trials game on my phone so this is hitting nostalgia. I can’t wait to get the full game next week.

And it’s been great in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe ramping up the difficulty getting the last few Star Coins.

Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller Rumours Resurface Following New Nintendo Filing

ibookboyuk

This is literally what I’ve been waiting for. The wallpaper on my mobile phone is the GameCube controller and I don’t want to change it until the Nintendo Switch Online GameCube controller comes out.

I have the Nintendo 64 Switch controller and it’s excellent. It’s exactly the same controller as the wired original one and that’s what I’d like for the GameCube one: for it to be exactly the same as the wired original.

Re: Nintendo Music Updated To Version 1.1.0, Here's What's Included

ibookboyuk

Yeah. I sometimes use this app to listen to some of the Wind Waker music as I’ve just discovered that game and the music is amazing.

Also I sometimes listen to the music from Super Mario Odyssey because that music is really good and doesn’t even sound like it’s from a computer game.

Then I always go back to music from my two favourite games Super Mario Bros. 1 and Super Mario Land.

Re: Hamster's Arcade Archives Celebrates Eight Years Of Switch eShop Releases

ibookboyuk

Yeah. Thanks, Arcade Archives. Everything I’ve got from you has been really excellent. Brings me back to when I was playing in the seafront arcade when I was younger.

I have maybe twenty Arcade Archives games. I would like to see Mr Do! added as I really like playing that game. Also the arcade version of Pang please. Pang Adventures on Switch was good but it got really difficult and I got stuck.

Super Mario Land 1 for me. For the first time I completed it twice through in one playthrough and got the option to jump to any level I want to play. I then saved that point on Nintendo Switch Online so I can revisit any level I want on the first Mario game I owned and one of my favourite Mario games of all time.
