Wicked, I know this opinion won't be shared but I was kinda hoping the SNES controllers would be joy cons like the NES controllers but oh well! Not that I could work out how they'd slide on with the big L and R buttons. I think they'd be more unique and possibly useless like that but I would love them even more for it!
@ThanosReXXX reported! Let's hope it gets removed before any Nintendo fans decide they want to earn 15k from something called "low maintenance", I mean it's totally "valid" right?!? All things considered......
@Lemmy_the_Koopa yes it was me!!!!! So glad it's finally on sale, now I just gotta wait for fighterz pass 2 which has already been on sale on PS4 loads, I need me some videl.....
@Crono1973 I get ya! That's why I said I don't necessarily disagree. Not that I've played the 3ds fire emblems but seeing the dlc on the store makes them look almost like mtx
@Crono1973 not that I necessarily disagree but I definitely feel like the mario kart 8 dlc was good value. It was basically half the game again (16 tracks) for a quarter or third of the price of the full game (can't remember how much exactly)
@arekdougy @SpacedDuck they did sort of make a Tony Hawk remake in Pro Skater HD but unfortunately it was average. Unless they throw a bunch of cash at it and a good developer, then whatever remake they do will end up like HD and 5. I'd give it to vicarious visions as they used to handle the ports in the past if I remember correctly....
@SpicyBurrito16 I agree, I used to play toy story 2 loads when I was younger! Toy story for the mega drive was really good too!
@BacklogBlues it's the same thing Yooka Laylee had, I think it's roughly the same price as the BFTG deluxe edition which means the physical is that+mark up. It certainly made me reconsider getting Yooka Laylee so now I am waiting for it to have a reasonable sale on switch that matches it's frequent sale price on PS4. Though tbh I just meant the digital version of btfg was overpriced for its launch content!
The perfect storm for me buying from limited run is, 1. I don't own the game digitally, 2. It's under $30 (Im in the UK so shipping is normally another $15)
Also I seem to favour FMV games for some reason...my three purchases from limited run have been night trap (collector's edition, I couldn't resist the video tape) and the upcoming dragons lair and double switch...just hoping corpse killer gets a Nintendo switch release too!
Edit: such a shame I bought btfg digitally because I really dug that steelbook and Morpher coin selection!
@BacklogBlues maybe because it's over priced for the content? I only bought the deluxe edition at launch for the pre order bonus (because I am a sucker) and it still worked out like £3 more than the game plus season pass combined, just for a few skins!
I don't think I could double dip with the limited run mark up though I would've waited if I knew there was a physical release coming.
"In the coming weeks, Sega will also be featuring the people involved in making this episode come to life in its live streams over on the official Sonic YouTube Channel."
The makers of the episode are dead? And we are going to watch them be reanimated? On Segas YouTube channel?!
I think he's right. The film is probably going to be rubbish with or without the redesign, so I imagine most of the people who wanted the redesign or are going to skip it based on reviews hence the want but don't care comment.
I wonder what the new limited run nes N64 and Gameboy carts will be like? I haven't ordered them but I wonder if they will learn from other companies mistakes. I don't think they've done repro carts before have they? I might be wrong
@NintendoPete fair enough, yeah the prospect of an unprecedented Watchmen crossover got me into reading comics regularly again! I've been collecting all the issues and every single cover for it but I am waiting to read it until it all comes out! I'd say I can't wait but I probably have about 200 comics in my backlog to get through, I think I'm sorta past the drowned earth crossover, first 6 issues of (bendis) action comics, first 6 issues of Catwoman sort of area so I'm about 8 months behind!!
I don't really understand Very, does opening an account mean you have a credit account? So you have to make a monthly payment regardless to cover their insurance costs regardless of whether you take out credit with them or not? I'd use it if it was a straight up pre order but I don't want to sign up to any credit rubbish.
@Mr_Persona I think people only get mad when it's an online game and the glitch/hack gives them a competitive edge. Fill your boots when it comes to single player games though
@NintendoPete doomsday clock was originally supposed to come out monthly, I think they were only one issue in when they switched to bi monthly so you could argue that issue has been delayed over a year!
@BulbasaurusRex fair enough! The reason why I love mario kart Wii is because of all the content to unlock and the different ways to unlock it. I barely touched it for a couple of years after launch but when I played it round a friend's house and saw all the characters she had I became hooked and spent the next couple months or so doing everything, including the time trials. I played with the nunchuck before I realised you could get a gold Wii wheel, so I played a bunch with the wheel after that, not to unlock anything, just so I could get that badge of honour! Also I love that autumnal treetop level and the music in it!
MK8 was good but was disappointing in that regard because it felt like there wasn't much to unlock and for what there is, they are all koopa kids.
The reason why I love super and double dash (despite their lack of content) is just they are good games and play well (once you get used to them).
I'd love to give some more time to DS and 7, they had some great tracks, I didn't have an N64 until much later after it was discontinued so I don't have much nostalgia for mk64. I did used to love super circuit on GBA though, I need to revisit it
I would prefer more official capacitive styluses (styli?) Than a switch pro, I feel like my mario maker one might not last very long. I know any old capacitive stylus will work but I love official peripherals
1. Does it have normal rumble if HD rumble is excluded?
2. Can we download our current switch library without wiping the original console?
I'd potentially like to use both consoles, maybe using the cloud saves that come with NSO to switch between them...
3. Will it still support USB controllers etc. Even if the Hori stand is the wrong form factor, could something similar still charge the switch and allow use of USB devices?
Just seen @Krambo42 's comment about using two switches.... Is that limited to two switches? I wonder what we could do if a switch pro comes along and we have 3 switches to switch between!
Lovely but what is the relationship between Diddy and Donkey? I thought they were just friends rather than father/son but they do have the same surname....
May buy raging justice at that price, been waiting for a sale on fight of god's even though ive heard it's a load of tosh. Not much of a discount but I might pick it up anyway out of curiosity
Blimmin heck, thousands of my miitomo points have expired and There's no way I'm getting back into animal crossing, I lost two years of my life to it before loot boxes drove me away!!

Awesome, hopefully they (the standard editions at least) get a UK release too!

I also have a monitor with a better field of view now so portrait gaming will be a pleasure!
Are there any psikyo games on the eshop that aren't included here?

Re: Random: Three New Ultra Shortcut Glitches Discovered In Mario Kart Wii
