All depending on the pandemic I plan on going to Japan in November, this was on my list but seeing as it's in Osaka and not Tokyo, I'm not sure if it's worth loosing at least a day travelling there and back for it. I'd rather go to Kyoto.
Mine arrives soon, bizarre it has no stand, it's a clock isn't it? The old ones had little wire stands. Classic Nintendo, 2 steps forward, 1 step back!
The port us terrible, but I'm still enjoying it. The Bladerunner vibes it gives me are worth it. That said, the long loading screens between areas are inexcusable. They didn't even bother to make the screens futuristic or moody, just a basic percentage loading bar, it totally ruins the atmosphere. Here's hoping there's a decent patch.
@JayJ I agree, Hot Pursuit 2 on Playstation 2 is a masterpiece in the racing genre, and by far the best NFS game. I would have loved a port of that, but this game is still great, I never got that far into it on PS3.
@korosanbo I never knew there was a cheat code. I became quite good at it as it was the only game i had at Christmas, but I don't remember ever finishing it.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Pikmin 3 for sure. Nothing else really interests me, but I still think Nintendo might reveal another big game for the holiday season.
As someone already said in the comments, they had already made a HD remaster of Galaxy 1 for the Nvidia Shield in China with altered controls. So it was basically already made, they were too lazy/penny pinching to port the sequel as they could get away with just the first game in the collection.
I tried the game again after the landscape option was added in an update. It's still awful, just doesn't feel like Mario Kart, controls are still terrible and it's like you're only half in control. I wish they'd add a 'classic Mario kart' controls option.
Finally a release date, looks great, cannot wait. Surprised at such a low price, hope it has decent content. Then again Rush Rally 3 is cheap as chips and it's one of the best racers on the Switch.
How many more Tetris and/or Puyo Puyo games do we actually need? I have the original as well as Tetris 99, this game seems pointless, DLC would have sufficed.
@sj33 Ok if that's the case, they developed a Model 1 emulator for Virtua Racing, so where's Virtua Fighter? They developed a Y Board emulator for G-Loc Air Battle, so where's Power Drift & Galaxy Force I & II? They developed Outrun, so where's Super Hang On? If they stopped Sega Ages due to poor sales well they've only themselves to blame with poor choices in games, giving us the same games we've been buying since the Wii shop days.
What a wasted opportunity. Didn't Sega hold an online poll a couple of years back asking fans what games they'd want to see ported? Jet Set Radio came top if I'm not mistaken, but they ignored the results and continued releasing the same old arcade & mega drive games they've released in the past. Why bother? Pure laziness. I think the only reason we got Virtua Racing was because M2 had already started porting it for the 3DS. Maybe there's still hope in his comments, I'd love to see that Daytona port from PS3, JSR from Vita, etc... But I wouldn't hold my breath, Sega don't seem interested in making money.

Re: A New Trailer For Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Is Airing Later Today
Great Game and I'll be double dipping. But I hope they don't take out the Captain Toad levels, it's something Nintendo would do for no reason.
Re: Super Nintendo World Website Now Live, Ticket Pricing And Ride Details Confirmed
@TheLightSpirit travelling right now? I said in November all depending on the pandemic 🙄

Re: Japan's Mario Kart Arcades Are Being Updated To Add Infinite Green Shell Mode And Wario
You can play the first 2 Mario Arcade Games on a modded Wii........ so I've heard
Re: Feature: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Developer On "Restoring And Finishing An Old Painting"
@KnightsTemplar I'll match your 5 copies of Burnout 3 takedown, one of the greatest racers ever. A port of it on the Switch would be unreal.
Re: Review: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered - A Racer From A More Innocent Time
I'd give it a 9, best non-Mario Kart Racer on the Switch imo.
Re: This Powerful Portable Console Has Us Dreaming Of A Nintendo Switch Pro
I have a GPD Win Max, amazing device, if a bit indulgent. Not sure about the face button placements on this Win 3.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 14th)
NFS Hot Pursuit, good port of a brilliant game. It is now The Switches best (non Kart) racer imo.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th November (Europe)
I have Need for Speed downloaded and ready! Speed 3 Grand Prix looks interesting, I'll wait for a review.
Re: Lucky Fan Gets Nintendo's Super Mario Game & Watch Early - Has Yours Arrived Yet?

Re: Sega Sammy Set To Sell Majority Of Sega Entertainment
So sad, was great seeing those big Sega logos plastered all over Tokyo. Glad I got to experience them on my trip there, and yes they were expensive!!
Re: Review: GONNER2 - Another Way To Die In An Increasingly Crowded Genre
Dear indie developers, we do not need anymore 'rogue-likes', 'metroidvanias', '8 bit retro graphics', etc.... Be a bit more creative. Thank you
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October (North America)
Finally Oddworld New n' Tasty is being released! Great game, been waiting for it as I find the Vita screen a bit too small to play it on.
Re: Truck Driver Sets Course For A November Release On Switch
I think I'd love this

Re: Soapbox: 10 Years On, Kirby's Epic Yarn Is Still The Pink Puffball's Finest Outing
I agree with many here, Planet Robobot is Kirbys finest hour. Its brilliantly inventive and one of my favourite 3DS games ever.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 10th)
Super Arcade Racing, it came out nowhere! I played it on android and loved it, gives me Amiga top-down racing vibes.
Re: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered Officially Announced For Nintendo Switch
For everyone moaning about 30fps, the base PS4 and XBOX One consoles are also only 30fps. So don't feel too bad about it.
Re: EA's Need For Speed Remaster Expected To Be Announced Next Week
Day 1 purchase, never got far in this on the PS3 due to GTA V.
Re: 'Shadow Puppet' Platformer Projection: First Light Illuminates Switch Today
Might check this out
Re: EA's Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remaster Has Been Rated
@JayJ I agree, Hot Pursuit 2 on Playstation 2 is a masterpiece in the racing genre, and by far the best NFS game. I would have loved a port of that, but this game is still great, I never got that far into it on PS3.
Re: Anniversary: Super Mario Land Launched 30 Years Ago Today In Europe
My first portable Mario, I loved it and still do.
Re: Feature: Jankenteam On Reviving Alex Kidd For A Whole New Generation Of Players
@korosanbo I never knew there was a cheat code. I became quite good at it as it was the only game i had at Christmas, but I don't remember ever finishing it.
Re: Feature: Jankenteam On Reviving Alex Kidd For A Whole New Generation Of Players
I had this built into my Master System, re-make looks great!
Re: Random: Forget The Switch, Super Mario 64 Has Been Ported To Dreamcast, PS2 And PS Vita
The recent 3DS version is brilliant
Re: Mini Review: Mini Motor Racing X - A Bite-Sized Appetiser Between Rounds Of Mario Kart
Loving this game! Had it years ago on Android.
Re: Nintendo 3DS Production Has Officially Come To An End
The greatest handheld ever, glad i have 5 various models for future play.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase To Air Tomorrow
I'd be happy with just NFS Hot Pursuit.
Re: Review: Inertial Drift - A '90s-Style Racer With A Unique Drift Mechanic
Loving the drift mechanic in this game, well worth the price.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th September (Europe)
Hotshot racing & Inertial Drift, great week for (cheap)Arcade Racers!
Re: Video: Take A Closer Look At The New Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. System
@Rainbowjames I thought the same thing, it doesn't look comfortable. But I still pre-ordered it, it's a pure collectable item.
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Fall/Winter Games - All The Big Games Coming In 2020, And Beyond
Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Pikmin 3 for sure. Nothing else really interests me, but I still think Nintendo might reveal another big game for the holiday season.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Includes More Than 170 Classic Songs For Your Listening Pleasure
A feature I will never ever use. Would have been great to get a little behind the scenes book with it, like the original all-stars game.
Re: Feature: So, What Happened To Super Mario Galaxy 2?
As someone already said in the comments, they had already made a HD remaster of Galaxy 1 for the Nvidia Shield in China with altered controls. So it was basically already made, they were too lazy/penny pinching to port the sequel as they could get away with just the first game in the collection.
Re: "Super" Mario Kart Tour Event Starts Next Week, Get Ready To Welcome Back Two Familiar Faces
I tried the game again after the landscape option was added in an update. It's still awful, just doesn't feel like Mario Kart, controls are still terrible and it's like you're only half in control. I wish they'd add a 'classic Mario kart' controls option.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.
Got one from Nintendo UK
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Lands On Switch On 18th September, And It's A Limited-Time Thing
Limited download too means I'll probably end up double-dipping physical & digital by March 2021!
Re: Nintendo Is Resurrecting Its Game & Watch Line To Celebrate 35 Years Of Super Mario
@readyletsgo I also live in Ireland, keep a close eye on Amazon, thats what I'm doing.
Re: Another Sega Double Pack For Nintendo Switch Has Been Spotted Online
I'd buy it for 20 quid.
Re: Round Up: All The Nintendo Switch Titles From The Future Games Show - August 2020
Gollum and Mini Motor Racing X look great.
Re: First Paid DLC For Lonely Mountains: Downhill Revealed, Arriving "Soon" On Switch
Brilliant game, so many treacherous shortcuts to risk taking!
Re: The Horrifying Sequel To Little Nightmares Launches On Switch Next February
Can't wait, I loved the first one. I'm a sucker for these type of games.
Re: Retro-Style Racer Hotshot Racing Speeds Onto Switch This September
Finally a release date, looks great, cannot wait. Surprised at such a low price, hope it has decent content. Then again Rush Rally 3 is cheap as chips and it's one of the best racers on the Switch.
Re: Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 Will Feature All-New Co-Op Boss Raids
How many more Tetris and/or Puyo Puyo games do we actually need? I have the original as well as Tetris 99, this game seems pointless, DLC would have sufficed.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase Appears Out Of Nowhere, Watch It Here
Zero interest in any of those generic games. These games would normally be in the short clip piece at the end of a normal direct.
Re: Sega Says It Wants To Re-Release More Past Titles On Nintendo Switch
@sj33 Ok if that's the case, they developed a Model 1 emulator for Virtua Racing, so where's Virtua Fighter? They developed a Y Board emulator for G-Loc Air Battle, so where's Power Drift & Galaxy Force I & II? They developed Outrun, so where's Super Hang On?

Re: Rumour: New Switch Model Launching Early 2021 Alongside A Strong Game Lineup, According To Reports
It makes sense to keep up and be able to handle ports of big third party games. But they won't exclude original switch owners, not a hope.
