Christmas 1992 was spent playing coop TMNT in time with a friend across the road.... Summer through to Christmas 2022 will be spent playing Shredders Revenge and the Cowabunga Collection (hopefully out soon!). I never thought I would be playing these 2 gems 30 years on from 92. Big cheers to the devs behind both of these must haves for 22!!
Of course it did, how could it fail....... Lego and Star wars..... Kaching!!! Loving the game and an absolute must for any gamer apart from the few who live in a galaxy far far away!
Oh nearly forgot, NES Star wars and Empire Strikes Back, and all of the Super Nintendo Star wars trilogy. After all if we now have the Cowabunga Collection coming then this has to be possible as well???
Still playing every now and then on the ole N64, so yeh of course bring it on!! And while there at it, bring out all the Gamecube rogue squadrons as well. With switch polish please! PS add in SOTE, bundle it up and call it the do or do not collection. Already pre-ordered in my mind!!
Good idea and about time. As for me, being wrong side of 50 now, while I'm still compos mentis, I'm happy to have the auto renewal switched on. Lets hope Nintendo don't forget to add more games regularly and are compos mentis too!!
Life in my ole girl yet then! Still play it every day and will never take her down to a second hand shop or put her on ebay. Wii U until I'm an old fart and can't play anymore!!
The force is strong with this month! Skywalker Saga has been the only game in a month that has taken me away from Forbidden West! And if HoD comes with a light gun, I might bag that one as well. Good memories playing it on my Sega Dreamcast
just started playing it today on PS5 (I'm sure it's just as good on Switch). Totally agree with the 9 out of 10 as it's awesome. The only problem for me is Qui Gon Jinn sounds a bit like the late Sean Connery??? Which is not a bad thing though!! Excellent game and enjoy!!
@RubyCarbuncle sorry to hear that!! It makes me mad how companies can charge full price for a game then do this to you and others. Somebody made a good point earlier when they put it would be understandable if it was a free to play. Bring back the good old days when you paid a sensible price for a full game!!
Mario Kart DLC 1 week from today. Enough said......... and if you did purchase this game, get a refund (or don't purchase the extras) and by doing so, you'll be sending a message to these money grabbing ......ds!! PS Rant over, back to being happy as the Cowabunga Collection is coming out this year!! YEH!!
Although I will pass on this, I am still playing my Wii U and enjoy it just as much as I did back in 2012. Happy memories and shame it all went south for the console
Retro weekend with wine (a premature glass after a dry January)...... TMNT in time (hurry up shredders revenge!!), Lost Vikings on SNES and Rogue Squadron on N64. Happy gaming all
I take it that 'a whopping £9.55 in savings' came with a huge dollop of sarcasm??!! Not enough to tempt me into giving up my old Switch and upgrading yet. However a step in the right direction, albeit a small one!
Along time ago in a galaxy far far away I just about remember this game being mentioned for the first time!! April the 5th can't come soon enough... yey!!
@KingMike the only problem I had with my Philips CRT TV was finding someone strong enough to help me carry it in the house..... Wow those TVs were heavy back then!!!
Fat and full and waiting for the wife to finish watching Paul O'Grady's for love of dogs so I can get stuck into ACNH, MK8 and Super Mario Golf Merry Xmas all and happy holiday gaming!!
Got the Grand Children over for 4 days so the Wii is getting switched on and 3 player games of Mario Kart and Wii Sports bowling tonight. Happy gaming all and 7 sleeps to go!!
Every year since I first started gaming from Thanks Giving (or Turkey Day) to back to work in January the following year, I play Nintendo games only and have myself a Nintendo Gaming Christmas. So on that note, started with Zelda OoT on Thursday just gone and this weekend will be SMB on the NES mini followed by a bit of Mario Kart 64 on NOL.
Great piece, a trip down memory lane. I did phone once, but most of the time I brought magazines for cheats and walkthroughs...... arh those were the days, even if it was not for free like youtube
Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong??? Excellent, so Donkey Kong goes on an adventure to retrieve his stolen stash of weed instead of bananas Should be re-named as Donkey Bong!!
Easy...... OoT on the N64 expensive pak, using my new N64 wireless controller (just like Nintendo intended)!! Inbetween walking the staffie and watching England Roses vs New Zealand Ferns up at Sandy Park stadium tomorrow. Happy gaming all!!
30 mins into OoT and fond memories of 1998 are coming back, game looks good, new N64 controller working as it did back in the day and finally apart from the expensive pak being about £10 over priced, what's there to moan about??? Use it for the Switch and it works fine, after all that's what it is meant for!! PS once more games start arriving I will accept the price slightly more, but I am loving my time in N64 retro land once again
If it's priced sensibly, then day one for me a long with TMNT Shredders Revenge next year!! Can't beat a good old fashioned side scrolling platformer IMO
Great for new gamers, just not for me as I'm happy with my older model. I will only part with my cash when a pro is possibly released or when the next gen is released.
Looks great for new Switch gamers, but I will wait for either a pro or the next gen as my Switch is working fine for me. Also I'm skint after purchasing a PS5 and Xbox Series X recently!!! Christmas gaming is gonna rock though this year
or two lions with their front paws on a small stone statue or water fountain of sorts?? never heard of this before and never seen it.... However I can see it now, after all, the wee plumber was every where in the early 90's
NES Star wars, TMNT in time SNES, all the SNES Star wars games and the SNES version of Chaos Engine??!! Absolute long shot on all of them, but IMO Christmas has come early if this was pulled off!!!
Christmas is just getting better and better for my gaming this year. I hope the price hike to play the N64 and MD games is not too high though (however, I will be upgrading for sure)!! My retro gaming has just increased from TMNT in time and Madden 64 to OoT, MK 64 (as well) over the festive season!!! Also, great to see we are starting to get a really good NSO...... FINALLY
Sonic Colours looks tempting, might just invest in this one and at present investing in PS5 and Xbox Series X games for Christmas so no room for building a good snowman !!
Easy, keeping my happy memories of days gone by, alive Also because nobody has re-made the original TMNT in time yet!! And, you can't beat putting an original cartridge/or disk in an original console PS just got Starfox Assault GC (as missed it first time around) for £60 and worth every penny! I know it's only mid week, however this is what I will playing this weekend !
Just got my PS5, so it has to be Ratchet and Clank RA and not forgetting my lil Switch, I will have a blast on Monster Hunter Rise Happy gaming everyone!
