Just TTYD for me, preordered it last night from Currys. Somehow lost my GC copy years ago sob so it'll be nice to have it in my collection again.

"Go Go!! Trouble Makers" (the Japanese title for Mischief Makers on the N64) laughs in your general direction 😂

I'd still love Sleeping Dogs : Definitive Edition to rear its rather lovely head on the ol' Switch.

I think that while Prime 1 succesfully ported that lovely lovely SM atmosphere in to glorious 3D, and Prime 2 swapped out some of that atmosphere for sheer environmental oppressiveness, Super Metroid's final act still outshines the rest of the series.

Bayonetta 3 is up at £19.99 at Argos atm

Bought this on import within its launch window back in the day (ugh) and during my time in the Water Temple, I thought I'd triggered a progression bug or something and re-started the whole game. Turned out it was a bombable wall I missed.

Yeah.

It did make you think, for sure, and I did like how the 3DS version sort of painted lines on the wall where you needed to go.

Rabi-Ribi is excellent so I'm definitely keeping an eye on this.

Little King's Story remaster please and thank you very much indeed.

So this is the best footy game on the Switch. That is until Nintendo World Cup comes to NSO bwahaha.

4 was my first, played it at a school friend's house back in '92, his mum LOVED games and because of her I got in to it. It was unlike any other game I played and I fell in love. She also got me in to Soul Blazer. She was great. I then obviously imported FF6 at launch. 15 year old me had to save up a bit of paper round money for that one back in 1994!

The bit where Blue Shell Koopa emerged from the flames and trashed Rainbow Road gave me goosebumps. Did not expect that at all 😂

WarioWare DIY is OBVIOUSLY the best as it is the only game to get a 100% review - from NGamer magazine. Yes.

WarioWare Touched is my personal favourite. Spent far too many hours chuckling at it back in the day.

"Tables Turn," from The Wonderful 101. That, um, slaps. As they say. Has a cheeky SF2 Title theme sample in it too.

A jolly good list, that. The Gyorg Pair fight from Minish Cap was always one of my absolute favourites.

Blue for me, after having bought Blue and Red from Toys R Us at launch, and "saving" a fiver for buying them both together.

I'll give a +1 to Polyroll - bought it super cheap, and was pleasantly surprised by it.

Stunt Race FX : Remastered. Plz and thx

Loving the Quintet-Soul-Blazer-Trilogy-esque font to this, as well as the look of it.

8, then Super, then 7, then 64 for me. If 64 didn't have such cheaty CPU AI it'd probs be above 7, as it has my favourite knockabout physics in any of the games.

I saw this, and that final part had me crying. And the fact they did it all on the original cart, just by having TasBot feed a ton of button presses in to the game to essentially reprogram it, was astounding.

*also TasBot did a similar trick with Twitch chat at a GDQ a few years ago with a Pokemon cartridge 😁

After the excellent Gradius V, perhaps they're doing Gradius VI.

Or Sin and Punishment 3. I'll take either/both.

Looks quite funky, but as with every car game ever (ever) if those racing mechanics aren't up to snuff, it's a no.

Had it on Steam for a few years and love it to bits - even the title screen attract mode and music has something **slightly** off about it.

Would be interesting to see how many single expansion upgrades have sold versus family ones. I wouldn't buy the expansion as a single due to the cost, but I'm in a family group of 8 so it's about the equivalent of two pints of quality ale. And I can't grumble at that.

Rogue Aces at just shy of two quid is an absolute bargain. Gamers of a certain age who liked Jetstrike on the Amiga/PC back in the day will certainly enjoy it.

I'd still love a Soul Blazer - Illusion of Time/Gaia - Terranigma trilogy release on one lovely physical cart.

@Shambo Curses! I'll try harder next time 😂

It's good to see these kinds of articles - reminds me of the good old print magazine days where they could be dotted around any given issue - I don't remember anyone writing in to the issue after with, "excuse me but what was the point of..." letters, either. Funny that.

Also, never mind the Switch pad, it's gotta be the GC's humongous "A" button. The most biggestest, invitingest "press me" bit of circular goodness on any pad ever.

Okay, I'll play along. It's the button that says "yes" to the game. Whichever that is.

Holy Moley those are some good works. They'd look great printed up and on my wall +thinking emoji+

Getting two CRT tellyboxes, two GameCubes, two copies of the game, two broadband adaptors and an ethernet cable, and 8 controllers / 8 people in one room to play 8 player MK:DD is the absolute best thing about this game. A nightmare to arrange, but the best thing. Yes.

Almost as good as the inflatable Wrong Chomp NGamer magazine gave away years ago heh.

That looks ridiculous and I think I need it.

KobaYoshi Maru would have been a better tagline just sayin 😂

Played about an hour of Light Crusader earlier, enjoyed what I played, was almost tempted to start drawing a map as well as the in game one was a bit lacking, unless I missed something (which is probs the case)

Played the demo of this on PC during the recent Next Fest and was quite enamoured with it.

Ahh, memories of playing Time Crisis in the arcade in my college years, with the satisfying as heck "KLAK KLAK KLAK" of the gun's recoil.

Man, I'm old.

I was "done" with BotW in about 150 hours, I'd decided I'd done all I wanted quest wise, but I knew there was a lot more I "had" to do that wasn't neccessary - and I'm still slowly just plugging away at all that to this day. A game is done when you decide, and if anyone tells you you're doing it wrong, either ignore them or call them out for how wrong they are in trying to tell you how to enjoy your experience.

What Silly_G said, really, Taito Legends 1 and 2 should have perhaps been the minimum here. Anywho.

I also want Mario Kart 7's Rainbow Road in there - as a three lap race, not just a point to point run - mainly because the theme for it smacks me in the feels EVERY TIME it gets to the N64 Rainbow Road bit.

Yes.

Crikey McBlimey. That is all.

Looks like TASBOT has a new Overlord.

OF COURSE 300 of my coins expired last October so now I don't have enough to get these.

Curses!!

It was such a good run, Keizaron is always an absolute hoot to watch 😂

Poking around in old games is great fun, used to do it in Mario World back in the day with the Action Replay. One of the best codes I found changed Mario's physics so he died in the title screen, you could then take over, playing the title screen level, which is slightly different to the Special Zone "Groovy" level it appears to use.

Still my favourite opening FMV of any game ever.

EVER.

Once phoned the Nintendo Hotline while a friend and I was playing his copy of Zelda 2. They couldn't help us as they "didn't have the maps."

Thank you, Ninty Hotline 😂

I always thought the silver GameCube with the glass mirrored front was the best one. shifty eyes emoji

Also, loved the purple colour but even I thought it was a strange choice given consoles were usually black at the time.

Pesky things. Though I did get the "achievement" for catching five of the ruddy things in a row - five trees in succession dropped a nest for me last night. I mean, there's only five trees on my island IN TOTAL at the moment due to refurbishment, BUT ANYWAY.

Not far off a million in the month is marvellous for Metroid. Mmm yes.

"Outside of that, the design is identical to the Super Mario Bros. version – save the neat inclusion of the Triforce, which is embossed on the rear of the unit and actually lights up."

Excerpt from the review - was this text added after the original posting of the article? Or is there ANOTHER Triforce? 😂
