Virtua Racing hasn't been released, yet, but it will probably be late as well. Don't really understand why the games all have to be this late, since they already are available in english in Japan.
@joey302 Yes. I bought Alex Kidd on the japanese eShop, because the rest of the world is way behind and I'm tired of waiting. Doesn't really matter since the japanese releases are in english.
@kobashi100 There are analog controls. Either with the right stick or with the GC controller. Not Redlynx fault, that the Joycons don't feature analog triggers. They did all they could with the controls on offer.
You can use the GC Controller for analog triggers. It works, I tried it. The game is perfectly playable, beat the entire Open Beta including the extreme track.
@Jonasty198460 It plays really well with the GameCube controller. I would prefer 60 fps (I think it's at 30 fps), but understand that it's probably not possible on Switch.
@Moroboshi876 It says it in the article above: "As well as a standard physical release, the game will be treated to a fancy Collector's Edition, with pre-orders going live from Strictly Limited Games' store from 24th February."
Did they patch/improve the motion controls since the original japanese release? Tried the japanese demo and it was really fun, but the controls are sometimes a bit funky.
Dot by dot is also offered in docked mode. Its similar to the NES/SNES Classic that it offers the original resolution with borders on the sides and top/bottom.
@Cobalt ? You have 3 Options for the ratio in the settings. The one shown in the review (called "Normal"), 4:3 ("Fit") and 16:9. 4:3 is called "Fit" in "Display Mode" and it looks perfect and exactly the same as the Genesis version.

Can you rotate the screen? Would be another nice use for the flip grip

Re: Sega Ages Virtua Racing Will Support Eight-Player Splitscreen And Online Races On Switch
@retro_player_22 Yes, I do. But I never tried this, since I never had this many people over
Re: Sega Ages Virtua Racing Will Support Eight-Player Splitscreen And Online Races On Switch
Is it possible to connect more than four controllers to one switch? How will this work?

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February (Europe)
@Welshland The Trials Rising Open Beta started today, that's why it didn't work yesterday. Try it again.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February (Europe)
Protip: If you try out the Trials Rising Open Beta on Switch, try using the GameCube Controller. The game supports the analog triggers!

Re: Alex Kidd In Miracle World Is Your Next Sega Ages Classic
Lots of nostalgia for this one, one of the first console games I played. Will get it for sure.
Re: Alex Kidd In Miracle World Is Your Next Sega Ages Classic
@RupeeClock Ususally these M2 releases give the option to choose the japanese or american version.
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Confirmed For Switch, Launches This June

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st January (Europe)
Downwell and Pool Panic.
Re: Review: Downwell - The Ultimate Version Of Everyone's Favourite Potholing Roguelike Shooter
Awesome Game for a good price + Flip Grip support. Can't say no to that!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th January (Europe)
Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter sounds good for that price!

Re: Gain Ground And Puyo Puyo Join The Sega AGES Line-Up On Switch Next Month
It's not the same games guys. It's the arcade versions, not the genesis ones.

Who takes this Pachter guy seriously anymore after his previous "predictions"?
Re: SteamWorld Dev Image & Form Says 2019 Will Be "Huge", News Coming "Sooner Than You Think"
Make something new in the Steamworld Universe. I don't need another sequel.

DSi doesn't have a GBA slot.
Re: Feature: Game Of The Year 2018 - Staff Awards
@Muddy_4_Ever Yeah I don't get it. It even got a better rating on the site (9/10) and has original stuff in it. Luigis Mansion is just a port.
WarioWare Gold got robbed indeed.
Re: Nintendo Download: Festive Offers (Europe)
Get Necrodancer if you don't have it already. So worth it, especially for that price.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 8th)
Not Smash, because my preorder of the limited edition hasn't arrived, yet
Re: Hardware Review: HORI Switch Battle Pad GameCube Style Controller
I thought you could use the original GC controller with the adapter for every game as well. Isn't that the case?
Re: Out Run Races Onto The Japanese Switch eShop Later This Week

Re: Hardware Review: Flip Grip: The Dream Peripheral For Shmup Addicts
@TheFongz
I think only The Pinball Arcade had that problem and they announced to fix it.
Re: Hardware Review: Flip Grip: The Dream Peripheral For Shmup Addicts
Get it for Pinball, Shmups and old arcade hits like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Re: The Switch eShop Finally Adds Search Filters For Genre, Price Range And More
Awesome for the japanese eshop to easily find demos.

Wrong. You can manipulate the direction. If you hit the ? Block on the left the mushroom goes right and if you hit it on the right it goes left.

Re: Zen Studios Under Fire For Censorship In Pinball FX3, Explains It Was To Keep Game "Family-Friendly"
Kind of suprised that Williams has no problems with this, since it is their property that is getting changed for the worse.
Re: Zen Studios Under Fire For Censorship In Pinball FX3, Explains It Was To Keep Game "Family-Friendly"
Yeah TWD and South Park couldn't be worse than showing a cigar or even a half naked woman. Think about the children!

Taiko no Tatsujin comes out on the same day
Re: Reminder: Snake Pass Limited Edition Physical Pre-Orders Go Live Today
