Remember when there was a spate of releasing Gameboy Color versions of AAA titles like MGS? Those were inferior versions. No one moaned about frame rate and graphical sacrifices in those days.
It’s Doom on the go, people!! See it for what it is. And even if it’s a near final build and it’s crashing, they’ll likely day one patch it
The piece seems to imply the game was up for Overton following the demise of the magazine, but Wil continued to create amazing art for Super Play's successor N64 Magazine which pretty much continued where that left off.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE it looks to me like a bit of love has gone into this game; you can vericalise the console to feel like you're playing in an arcade cabinet. The backgrounds look nice. And it equates to £3 per title. Expensive that may be but lazy, not so sure it is...
@sabre_wulf1 Playing devil's advocate here with my tongue firmly in my cheek - If you've played these games for 8 hours per day at the arcade, this brings me to believe the £30 asking price is small change compared to what you've invested in these in your misspent youth - with inflation I estimate you've already spend £30,000.06 already. Go on, pay another £30. You will never again have to tap your folks up for their spare change
The premium price is down to the fact we're in early into the lifespan of the console, and the physical cartridge medium is typically more expensive than CD to manufacture. Having this physical and portable is a price worth paying for me and I'm keen for devs to support Switch so I'm in.
Got one at GAME yesterday. As of today they still have the amiibo available so picked up them too. Wait for it to all be cancelled, i guess. Not that I'm cynical
Wanted post-game so that's good. Hope that the hyrule you're in when you've completed the DLC is fundamentally different and there's more stuff to do in a post game environment and the save doesn't refer back to pre-Ganon battle as is at the moment
@SLIGEACH_EIRE as a new IP they reduced the price to attract potential new players. The game was a success so of course they're going to charge regular recommended price for the sequel. And £25? I think I paid £31 for my copy, and that was from one of the cheaper retailers.
@ThanosReXXX I hope you're right. But remember they've apparently dumped internet ROMs of Mario 1 on the Wii VC. And Nintendo has a way of surprising in the wrong way!! I'm just being a bit cynical.
Good E3. Lots still MIA. but I'm sure we'll hear about it soon. They're really going with the one first party title per moth stuff in a big way which will avoid droughts ... for now.
Third parties-wise, however, pretty attrocious. The fact that Nintendo themselves are publishing Skyrim - rather than Bethesda - is pretty telling how much a risk factor Switch seems to be even for the big publishers. Hopefully when sales are maintained consistently the big ones will be on board.
@Moshugan was thinking about the lack of analogue triggers: there are two shoulder buttons on each side of Switch controllers. Could they ustilise both of these to simulate different amounts of 'pressure' on the analogue triggers? Not sure.

There was definitely a Starfox title in Development for VB. this wasn't it. This is fake.
Re: SNES Title Joe & Mac Gets the MSU1 Digital Audio Enhancement Treatment
I had the NES version at one point, or loaned it off someone.

Re: Rumour: Wii U System Update Hints That Miiverse Is Coming To An End Soon
This is Nintendo acknowledging that Facebook and Twitter are very much here to stay and not transient, which was an Iwata directive. Fair enough.

@Jessica286 set up a European account and download it through that!
Re: Team Cherry Stirs Hopes of a Hollow Knight Physical Release
Not played this. But since taking the plunge with the excellent Cave Story, I'm more inviting of other indie titles.

Even Very are restricting this to one per customer.

Nice lookIng game, not sure about the Italian mafia stereotype but nice for those who like that sort of thing

Re: Beleaguered UK Retailer GAME Blames Lack Of Switch Stock For Profit Warning
Try pointing your rage towards selling games at inflated prices, having a crap online business and generally being regarded as rubbish.

Re: Video: Let's See What Star Fox 2 Might Offer on the Super NES Classic Edition
It wouldn't surprise me too, too much if they dump the leaked ROM on the SNES Mini. Hope I'm wrong, however.

Re: Thankfully, Europe Is Getting A More Handsome SNES Classic Mini
@UK-Nintendo it comes with two already. Not sure whether one will be sold separately but I reckon it's doubtful
Re: Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
... also, I'm wondering whether the EU version will be released without Earthbound considering that never released over here.
Re: Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
Whaaaaaaat?!? Star Fox 2? Now you're talking. This is unprecedented. They'd better stock this right.
