Nice, had this one on the Wii but sadly let it go for pennies on eBay, it is a small to medium sized regret of mine

Happy birthday!

Hopefully it'll have touch screen controls or the ability to plug in a keyboard and mouse

@dartmonkey nice! I think I have pikmin 1 with the NPC regalia facing outward and pikmin 2 with the reversed "normal" cover art, just for variety really 😅

@dartmonkey pikmin 1 and 2 actually had reversible cover art, one side had the new play control nonsense and the other was just the GameCube box art with Wii branding!

@Darlinfan nice one cheers, I'll be sure to check it out! I wonder what other pc classics will be there...

@Darlinfan woah! I used to have a floppy disk demo of Chasm! I've been looking for any record of it online for years but couldn't find anything about the game, all I remembered was that it was a Doom style game. The reason I couldn't find any information online was because I didn't know it had the subtitle "the rift" until your comment so cheers! any searches I made for it just came up with a more recent game called chasm. I don't think the subtitle was on the disk label, it just said chasm in big capital letters

I think you're missing 2 out of 3 CSI games but I doubt anyone except me will care!

I'll get the game digitally, I'd buy the £50 physical release if it included all the non localised fire emblem games instead of just one

@everynowandben haha only because I didn't know what the codename for the Wii U was until now!

In an alternate universe we could have spent the last 25 years playing our Ultra 64s, Nintendo Dolphins, Nintendo Revolutions and the NX!

I had thousands of platinum points that I collected in the first year or so of this service, all but 390 of them have expired now. They're nice posters and I have the SNES ones but can I really afford £6.90 postage (right now) for posters I'll never put up

@scully1888 thanks for the read, I love this review! It was very entertaining! I'm sorry you had to sit through such a rubbish game but I hope you got some catharsis from putting your experience into words!

I've been tempted by this a few times but thankfully now I will be less tempted! Nice review

Worth a punt for 2 bucks methinks

@Pandaman "This acquisition heavily bolsters what once appeared to be Microsoft’s toe-in-the-water “xCloud” service, revealing it for the cannonball into the pool it really was."

I love this sentence for some reason, brilliant evocative imagery!

This game is still playable after that date though? We just can't add it to our libraries it if we haven't already...

@AmplifyMJ no problem! Mine came through this morning too!

This item was covered by the Amazon pre order price guarantee: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G4BRP7LCB9DSDNCR&linkId=99952498

Which states:
Where a physical item has a stated release date, if your order enters the dispatch process before that date and the price of the item drops below the price you were charged between the date of dispatch and the end of the day of the release date, we'll automatically refund to your payment card the difference between the price you were charged and the lower price.

So they should honour it, otherwise they are misselling the guarantee along with the product.

Is NL hyped about the new Dune movie? I've seen two references in as many days!

@Eel that sounds pretty cool and way more logical than what I was imagining - legend of Zelda on top screen and Zelda 2: adventure of link on the bottom screen, played simultaneously possibly with one set of buttons controling both games 😅🤯

This article gave me a chuckle @dartmonkey , great work!

I say all 3 for when I finish/beat/complete a game, I also say 100% if I've done just that or specify just the campaign if it's a game known for its multiplayer.

Funny anecdote: a woman once asked me if I was a gamer but I misheard her and thought she was asking me if I was a gay man which resulted in a funny conversation, you probably had to be there 😅

@Eel yeah I suppose youre right! Hopefully if there is an official model it comes with a pair of (8k 120hz OLED) displays so we can play Zelda game &watch

I'd like it to have the actual Zelda game and watch game on it. That along with the CD-i trilogy are some of the hardest games to to find/play

Awesome game, im surprised it didn't make it to the US VC

@scully1888 thanks for the review!

Quick question though, did you try plugging in the official GameCube adapter and controller? Just wondering if there's any hidden analog trigger features for sunshine when you do that

Good on them! I'm glad somebody had the mental fortitude to see this through.

These look alright actually, normally crossover sneakers end up looking like poo

Dairylee lunchables?!

I'm sure they changed it to stop somebody getting the sack

They really dropped the ball this time

Now I just need a physical CD-i collection Switch port and my life will be complete

This looks really good but when I saw Konami and masterpiece, my mind immediately jumped to metal gear 2: solid snake!

Is it better than speed 2: cruise control? For that matter, could it be as good as "The Bus that Couldn't Slow Down"?

Is that matt cassamasina from the old ign days? I wonder if they knew eachother from when they used to drop MEGATONS together lol

Man I just wished that tower of power was on sale in the UK! I'm gutted I missed out!

I used to have this program on my computer called neko and it was a little white cat that chased around my mouse cursor. It made win95 a lot more fun

Sounds awesome, I love themed picross when it's a theme I'm interested in!

Sonics peach ring? now I don't even want to know what happened when all the sonic and mario cast turned up for the Olympics only to end up stuck in a hotel during lockdown 😩

EA Ports - It's in the Game

I do wonder how many people bought animal crossing on switch because of their experience on mobile. I know a fair few people who played pocket camp having never tried the series itself. Could be good to keep up just as an advertisement for their console games and general planned media empire.

I just hope they don't remove the ability to play Mario run because it was a paid game and it's still in my back log 😂

I haven't touched any of their freemium games since I lost over a year of my life to pocket camp. Maybe it might be wise to release "definitive" versions of these games on switch (mario kart tour, fire emblem heroes) with the freemium mechanics removed just so this era of Nintendo games, albeit small, isn't lost to the ether of mobile spin offs and can be preserved along with the rest of Nintendo's back catalog.

@Alucard83 @zander_dale I actually love the BOTW sound track. There are some really great songs on there, some are certainly sparse but they just leave me wanting more because it's so good (for me at least). I've pretty much loved the music in every Zelda game though, I've got a few of them on CD (including BOTW)

Ouch, way too expensive.

I went on there to buy these immediately, I've always wanted some Nintendo hanafuda cards and would've gone for the Zelda cards too but I can't justify that price, even for a collectible, maybe they'll go on sale like the NES controllers did?

The EULA thing is weird, I've never once been sat down at a store counter and asked to read a legal document before I purchase. Additionally, good luck trying to return a product once you've taken it home, opened it up and read and disagreed with a printed EULA. And if it's a digital EULA, perhaps you will miss it if you begin the hacking process before it pops up.

You can't agree to a EULA at point of sale because it isn't provided for you before you purchase. You can say it's online or whatever but it needs to be in the shop with big writing saying "agree to this before you purchase". I do wonder how many game stores will have walls of EULAs for each product they sell 🤔

Are they the marketplace sellers or just Amazon and game themselves?

Lol for some reason this makes me think it should be called Transformers 2K Battlegrounds 🤔

@ryancraddock distrubuted lol - unless this is how they spell it in game in which case I hang my head in shame

Cheers for that, I appreciate it!

I just wish they'd put pages into it, the games lower down the list take so long to load that if you accidentally move left onto the categories as your moving down through the sale games, you lose your place and have to start all over again

That's awesome, android is a natural fit due to touch screen controls.

I do also agree that rom/iso dumping and the ability to play them on emulators is important for the preservation of art. It's in no way important to human survival as @Kalmaro says but it is for the preservation and/or documentation of our culture. Not everybody will get a kick out of that sort of thing but I do! But then again I am really interested in games especially series that span different formats over decades.

It's just important to different people. I am sure a lot of people would lose their minds if somebody drew a willy on the Mona Lisa in felt tip but I would probably laugh. Then again I am not really interested in that sort of art.
