I was hoping for a Lego controller 😅

@dartmonkey "like something Captain Kirk would keep his logs in." I know what you meant but my mind still went immediately to the W/C in the captain's quarters 😂.

For my money, the most aesthetically pleasing revisions are the Wii Mini and the slate 2DS. Despite the reduction of capabilities, they are so retro looking and remind me of the Mega Drive 2 and GBA respectively.

I have a slate 2DS but I never got a Wii Mini which is a great regret of mine!

Speaking of Star Trek, the 2DS actually looks an awful lot like the pads that Kirk used to sign every episode in the original series!

Wooooooo! Finally an update on this one!

Sonic Generations was a Game With Gold in March last year. Assuming MS paid Sega for it, perhaps payment was not made until the 2021 fiscal year?

I know I bought a fair few BC sonic games on Xbox last year 😅, Sonic Adventure 1&2, Sonic 4 Eps 1&2, hell I even bought Sonic Fighters on PS3 the year before that!

Damn, missed it! Definitely would have bought both karts at that price!

@Zidentia I mean that I don't think I had the TV tuner, I only had the FM radio tuner

@Glitchling78 I think we had the FM radio tuner for the game gear, sadly not the TV tuner but I could be wrong!

I used to have something like this for GBA, a Blaze TV tuner. I hooked up my GameCube and played Tony Hawk on the GBA screen. 13 year old me thought it was rubbish though so I took it back to the store for a refund lol

@GrailUK Jimmy Corkhill, Ron Dixon and Sinbad beg to differ!

I love that first sonic one with the massive fringe 😂

On the flip side of this, my mum encouraged me to keep all my tat from when I was a child. Now I have a loft full of worthless junk that nobody wants....

I also now have an OCD about throwing things away. It's not quite hoarder level but it is incredibly painful to throw stuff out. I have to mentally forget myself to get through the process.

However, I do have a huge box of original Pokémon cards which I want to get rid of which should net a tidy return. Anything over £1000 is taxable though so I am really apprehensive about bothering to sell them at all.

You might say this Collab is a load of...

...nonscents!

This reminded me of the old davidoff adverts that featured Josh Holloway from Lost

Awesome, reminds me of the Modnation racers creations

@nessisonett "oooh thats lovely, that is! Bangers and mash!"

I thought sonic lost world was wicked. It wore it's influence on its sleeve though and while it never hit the heights of its forebears Donkey Kong Country Returns and Mario Galaxy, it was still a decent game and worth playing!

@jco83 👍 fair enough!

Holy moly, the new site actually does the cookies notification in accordance with the law too! I am really impressed with that actually 😂

Sites are supposed to say "Accept all Cookies" and make it easy to "Reject all Non Essential Cookies" but most websites have a convoluted system of ticking loads of boxes before you can do the latter. Kudos to them for doing it right!

Sounds good if myNintendo rewards to the UK can combine shipping. Might actually start bothering to accumulate some points now!

Is it still being run by TheHutGroup though? I'd be a bit funny if my Nintendo credentials were being shared with that company as they are really bad, particularly their Zavvi brand.

I did get the e mail about the switchover and whether to opt out of merging my accounts but unfortunately forgot to actually opt out :/

@MattyHammo @nessisonett 😂

@SwitchVogel this is exactly the same moment that sealed the deal for me as well. I was literally talking to my mate about this exact same shrine the other day!

Ah, you mean the 2p machines! Somehow made into the TV show Tipping point!

Im keen to know if there will be a standard UK release from normal retailers. I believe both stores did similarly large releases for the Samurai Shodown collection but there was still a standard release in normal stores

This reminds me of the film Small Soldiers 🤔😂

@rjejr ahh sorry! Yeah I think it was part of a Capcom publisher sale, I'll be sure to tag you and let you know if I ever see it on sale again. I always liked the look of the game back when it came out but never bought it. I just saw the DLC on the store page and looked it up, aparently there is a "true ending" that takes place in the DLC so I really didn't feel like buying the base game and not getting the full package so I just bought it all anyway. Aparently there's a bit of Street Fighter themed DLC to it as well.

Ahhh that's awesome, would have loved if the rest of them were remade along with Typing of the Dead. Would be so good as you can use a USB keyboard!

@rjejr literally bought asuras wrath on Xbox one on sale the other day for £2.99. bit of a rabbit hole though because a portion of the game is locked behind paid DLC that wasn't on sale so it ended up being a bit over a tenner all in!

Looks cool actually!

That art style is so blimmin cool!

Come onnn, release that Sega picross already!!

Looks really nice

So tempting at that price but with the PS3 store closing down, my limited budget for luxuries has been diverted elsewhere

Brilliant game, highly recommend. I hadn't played the main Borderlands series until recently and having finally played through the first one, it pales in comparison to it's hilarious spin off.

@Clyde_Radcliffe @dartmonkey looks good from that preview! Definitely considering it even though my knowledge of Pokémon is a bit outdated, the last game I played all the way through was Pokémon Black and even then I don't think I could name any Pokémon past ruby and sapphire (and that's a stretch anyway!)

Shame they have yet to incorporate any Labo VR features, seems like a no brainer for this sort of game!

@dartmonkey @Clyde_Radcliffe ahh thanks for the heads up and the link! I did click on the game page but didn't think to scroll over to the "news" tab. Silly me! Appreciate it, thanks

Would be good to see a preview of Pokémon Snap. How it plays, what the controls (any gyro?) are like etc. Anything like this in the pipeline NL?

I love these inter company crossovers. I really wanted to import the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot N. Same trilogy for the same reason.

The original PlayStation mascot, published by Sega on a Nintendo console....🤯

@Ghost_of_Hasashi would have been perfect if the DC X was blue and positioned where the A button is on Nintendo controllers. Perfect for this comparison anyway, probably a nightmare to game with 😅

Gargling? I've not heard that one on the news...

Not only that but all the X buttons are blue! The PlayStation X, the Xbox X and the SNES X

Ahhh when are the Zelda ones going up for pre order in the UK haha, I just can't take it! I'm constant checking sites because I want to beat the bots!

I've got the super game boy and the game boy player.

I remember the wario ware spaghetti spinning mini game became miles easier with an analog stick!

About ten years ago, I used it to finally finish links awakening DX and just last year, I used it to play through Metal Gear Solid (ghost Babel internationally)

Nice review. Definitely interested in this game but I will have to wait for a sale I think

I'm a bit confused about the rotation options...

There seems to be three aspect ratios, original, scaled and full ( I can't remember exactly what they were called).

Full obviously stretches to the whole screen but does it stretch the aspect ratio? I can't really tell on the free game. If it does then it would be good if there was an option to fill the screen to one set of edges without stretching the other direction unnecessarily

I feel like I remember seeing screenshots of this in an old Nintendo mag

😂 Is that Metallica clip legit? It's especially funny as they were originally one of the main opponents of digital downloads and I believe they took on Napster back in the day!

I can't recommend the Talos Principle enough. I'm thinking of shelling out £6 to have it on Switch even though I already have it on PS4 and Steam

This game was one of the funniest games I've ever played and I've never played a mainline Borderlands entry!

I'd love to see Sonic Adventure Pocket get a new lease of life! That metal slug looks intriguing too

@Zeldinion the creator ones are really good too! I'm just trying to downsize a lot of my stuff at the moment and Lego is something that kind of holds value so it's worth selling. I guess I'm trying to only keep the "display pieces" and as I'm a huge fan of marvel and DC, the minifgures and some of the sets are pretty much the only ones I want to keep for definite.

It is a bit heartbreaking to be cleaning up the Lego City hot dog seller for sale though! I can't keep talking about it or I will lose my nerve about selling them😅. I need to be ruthless!

@Zeldinion haha I've just got too much of it to be honest. I'm going to keep the best ones like most of the marvel and DC sets, the toy story sets but I want to get rid of City, Ninjago and probably most of my Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Lego. I'll probably get rid of Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones too
