I bought it on PS2, then Wii, then PS3, then Switch. I got furthest in with the Wii version and I should really finish it someday, having bought it 4 times 😅
@T317 Totally agree. Would love to see a 3D remake of Chrono Trigger. HD 2D makes sense for a niche game like Live A Live, but if SaGa is big enough to justify a 3D remake then Chrono Trigger has to be!
In the meantime, if you want a PS1 game with Twin Peaks vibes, check out the incredible Mizzurna Falls, which was (finally!) translated into English this year.
I played this on PS4 and really enjoyed it. Interesting hybrid of choose-your-own-adventure and driving/racing with lovely visuals and fun soundtrack. Definitely recommended if you like visual novels and things like that. Most of the time, how you drive does not matter, and in fact you can leave the game to play itself (although there are only a couple of endings you can access without inputs).
Why don't they release all their games in Europe? I'm still waiting for ATV Wild Ride 3D and I would probably buy Dementium if they released that here too.
I don't yet own a Wii U, but I can nonetheless echo some of the posters above and say that it is totally worth buying Rodea just for the Wii version. It's a lot of fun, has loads of replay value and it's as close to a 3D Nights as we are likely to see. The cumbersome on-foot controls are the only negative point for me so far, but that's just another reason to fly everywhere, and the flying feels great! : D
The running game in Let's Tap has remained popular among my friends and family, despite having only 16 short courses. Playing it yesterday got me thinking it would be great to see a standalone e-shop release with a course creator and the ability to share them online.
I really enjoyed Ivy the Kiwi? too and I would definitely buy a sequel.
Having tried and failed many times yesterday, I am happy to say that it is still working now 06.55 BST. Only 50 stars lost to the ether (although over the years I am sure more stars expired than I actually used).
I hope the replacement system is less onerous (yes Nintendo I'm still an 'advanced' gamer who already owns a 3DS, and no I have not changed my age or gender in the past 2 minutes) and that our credit can amass indefinitely so we can save up for what we really want.

Japan: better cover, better name!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast)
Europe better represents the look and feel of the game. Japan is too washed out and NA is too dark.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?
Good to see plenty of mentions of Wave Race in the comments. Should have been an option; it definitely would have been my pick!

Brilliant game, it’ll be great to have it on Switch! I hope someone at Super Rare is a fan… 🤞

The Robot Wars game on PS2 isn’t great but I still enjoy it a lot. I would love to play this one!

Re: Arcade Racer Skydrift Infinity Speeds Onto Switch Next Week
@Tedikuma to me it looks like a port with the DLC added. Hopefully this might lead to a physical release and/or a sequel.
Re: Physicality Games Cancels Its Exclusive Pre-Orders For Switch, Will Refund All Customers
I hope Rolling Gunner gets picked up by another publisher. I am sure LRG or SLG could sell plenty of copies of it.
Re: Professor Layton And Pilotwings Appear In Latest My Nintendo Rewards (Europe)
I still use my 3DS and I used one of these offers recently for the Mario Minis 3DS game.

Re: Touch And Rotate Your Way Around The Cartoon World Of Sir Eatsalot On Switch
It’s a fun game, but I would recommend getting it on Vita if you have one because it is one of the few games that made good use of the rear touchpad.
Re: Mini Review: Ultimate Racing 2D - Accessible Action Which Sadly Isn't Much Fun
@Applimazing is this game related to the Magic Racing games on XBLIG? It looks very similar.
Re: Life Is Strange Dev Would "Love" To See Series On Switch, But It's A Decision For Square Enix To Make
Day one purchase for me if they put all the episodes on the cart (sadly the last episode of LIS 2 is a download on PS4 and Xbone).
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th October (Europe)
Does anyone know of a site that still posts the price reductions for the 3DS European eShop?
Re: Award-Winning Steampunk Adventure 80 Days Races To Nintendo Switch Next Month
Heaven’s Vault is amazing! Fingers crossed for a physical release.
Re: Review: AER: Memories Of Old - Take To The Skies With This Captivating, Combat-Free Adventure
I loved this game on PS4. Great to see some coverage for it.

F Zero X is my least favourite!
Re: Sega Launches Official Online Merchandise Stores In UK And Europe
Some of the Dreamcast items are tempting. Would be great to see some more games represented, like Shenmue, Daytona, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio...

Re: Gear.Club Unlimited Power Slides Onto Switch in December
Vita and 3DS had very few racing games, especially compared to PSP, so this might just be my most anticipated Switch title now!
Re: Exclusive: Gear.Club Unlimited Unveiled for the Nintendo Switch, Coming This Year
I am looking forward to this. I hope it gets a physical release.
Re: Project Rap Rabbit Needs To Raise Almost $5 Million For Any Chance Of A Switch Port
I love Ouendan, but I never got on with Parappa. Sounds like it is more of a successor to the latter so I'll leave it.
Re: Psyonix Is Evaluating Bringing Rocket League to the Switch
I would definitely buy it again for the portability.
Re: Nicalis Tweet Hints at Cave Story Port Coming to Nintendo Switch
I would definitely buy this!
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice Begins Trial on 8th September
I hope Limited Run manage to give this and Dual Destinies a physical release....
Or perhaps Capcom might see the value in releasing a double pack?
Re: Reminder: Points Can't Be Added to the DSi Shop After 30th September
@DoctorOverbuild
Pinball Pulse was released for 3DS later than most of the DSi games. I think it was delayed to adjust for the gap between the screens.
Re: Reminder: Points Can't Be Added to the DSi Shop After 30th September
"A few months ago, it was announced that Nintendo would at last be pulling the plug on its Nintendo DSi Shop. "
At last? Have you really been waiting and hoping that Nintendo would close the shop and thus cause some games to cease to be purchasable?
Re: Faux-Retro Survival Horror Back In 1995 64 Shuffles Menacingly Towards The Nintendo 3DS
Great to see this getting a console release, although I did not expect to see it on 3DS!
Re: Review: SEGA 3D Classics Collection (3DS)
Fingers crossed for a release in Europe.
Re: Sales for Dementium Remastered Have Been Much Lower Than Expected
Why don't they release all their games in Europe? I'm still waiting for ATV Wild Ride 3D and I would probably buy Dementium if they released that here too.

I have not bought any themes, but I would buy the Dreamcast one.

Re: Video: A Wii Wave Race Project Got Far Enough to Have Its Own Patents
I would have loved a new Wave Race! All three are my favourite racing games on their respective consoles.

Re: Football Up Online to Kick Off in Europe Soon
I really like the game, especially the shooting system. I wonder whether you'll be able to use a team of Miis online...
Re: Nintendo 64x64: F-Zero X
It is fun, but I prefer GX and the SNES/GBA editions. Probably a 7 for me.
