@Member_the_game I've just had word with your hotel about the lack of entertainment, so they've agreed to send you a copy of Contra: Rogue Corps as a gesture of goodwill.
Mario Kart Double Dash is my least favourite with uninspiring tracks (apart from a couple of obvious favourites like Yoshi Circuit) & a rubbish Co-Op switching character gimmick. Gamecube was fantastic apart from its two marmite games, Mario Sunshine and this MK outing - I know they are a lot of people's favourites, they just never clicked with me sadly. I had so much fun collecting all the coins and besting the tracks on Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA & tons of all-nighters on multiplayer Mario Kart 64, but I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just about comes out on top for the sheer volume of quality tracks, some of which are yet to come in the DLC ^_^
I hope these idiots were in the minority. This is clearly a passion project & we're lucky at all that games like these see the light of day. I would have loved to read Ron Gilbert's blog on bringing this new entry together. Some of the hardcore fans are the worst, thinking it's their right to have it done their way.
Leaves us wanting more! It will be nice to get an official end. I'm interested to see who will actually be voicing LeChuck as the voice actor has since retired.
Hydrocity Zone is intact, phew! It's going to be weird with the new tracks. It's not like they're that bad, it's just the originals were so iconic. I suspect PC & mods are going to be the best way to play this (unless of course you have the originals, VC entries on Wii or do emulation)
@RubyCarbuncle Similar, Star Wars is very close to my heart. I played most of the previous Star Wars Lego games & Lego City Undercover, so maybe my expectations were a little too high and I'm maybe a little burnt out on collectathons shrugs
Anyone else found the game underwhelming? I can't deny it's stuffed full of content, but I've found it to be all quite repetitive & I've lost the motivation to continue.
@Bizzyb Lickers, Wesker, Zombies, Dogs, Giant Spiders, Umbrella Corp, T-Virus, RE3 Worm... As if we want another lame attempt to follow all the beats in the early games; we've been there, done that and it was rubbish. Hopefully something a bit different in the RE universe might prove to be interesting. Too many people taking a dump on it before they even see it.
It's very in-keeping with the remastered games' art style. Having grown up with the original titles, I'm very much excited for this new entry. You can't please everyone I guess, but hopefully the creators won't be too disheartened.
Going to wait to see what Reggie has to say about this in his 'spare' time in the next article; 'ex-COO of NoA Strikes Back' would be a fitting tagline.
@CANOEberry I know right? Lots of people damning it based on rumours. We need to wait & watch it to have a verdict. I highly doubt Ninty would let it be a complete dumpster fire. Sure, the delay may mean some tweaks are required, but people forget they probably moved it so it wouldn't clash with the new Avatar film & Puss in Boots.
I mean, a few substantial musical interludes would be fine, especially if they use some of the iconic Koji Kondo music, but if we're talking large ensemble numbers every 5-10 minutes, then this will be off putting. Changing the iconic clothes might be fine given context; they may be on a break and in lounge wear or appropriate costumes for location / situation at the start (covering up Mario nipples for sure). Trying to remain postive here, but I suspect Ninty's involvement wont let them stray too far from their idealogies / designs.
I wouldn't say regret, but I was a little disappointed with the 3DS launch with only Rayman, Street Fighter & the AR cards to amuse me for some time. In the long run though, it was worth it as the Ambassador program gifted us some nice free games & I got my hands on one of those nice 3DS with the Ambassador face plate.

Re: Mini Review: OneShot: World Machine Edition - A Brilliant And Bittersweet Indie Darling
This is definitely one of those 5 out of 7 games.

I see we're also getting a remaster of Rise of the Triad for Switch too! Good time for classic style FPS!
Re: Fortnite Teases Dragon Ball Crossover, Starting Next Week
@Aozz101x After the terrific mess that was the anime adaptation, I doubt we'll get to see any crossovers with The Promised Neverland 😔

Re: Random: Someone Turned Super Mario 64 Into A First-Person Horror Game
Hopefully Nintendo will issue them a deceased & desist letter.

Re: Nintendo Reports Drop In Sales For Q1- Should We Be Worried?
The real test will be Q4 sales of hardware / software during winter months as people battle raising living costs.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Wave 2 Confirmed For Next Week
Who cares about ugly grass!?! It's Mario Kart, not Lawnmower Simulator
Re: Review: Live A Live - A Brilliantly Faithful Remake Of A Unique And Influential JRPG
@calbeau Awesome, thanks bud!
Re: Review: Live A Live - A Brilliantly Faithful Remake Of A Unique And Influential JRPG
Does this have a Japanese voice option?
Re: My Nintendo Store Down For Maintenance, Possibly For Weeks (EU)
That's insane. Normal practice would be to have something in place behind a curtain so to speak and to switch over when it's ready.
Re: Random: Fake Nintendo Soundtracks Are Apparently Being Sold At Rip Off Prices
@TommyTendo All tracks are authentically & lovingly reproduced on a wurlitzer by a guy who plays the church organ on Sundays in my local parish.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Trailer Confirms Launch For This October
With the slew of announcements over the last few days, a Direct before September is looking less likely.

It's the new Ecco the Dolphin that's been rumoured.

No Omori for Europe either?

Two great point & clicks returning! All we need now is a new Discworld game ^_^
Re: Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund Acquires 5% Stake In Nintendo
It's scary when you see some of the portfolios of these trust structures and they own large stakes in many companies.
Re: Spiritfarer Version 1.14 Is Ready To Download, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
For those on the fence, just buy it. It's one of the best games I've played in a long time.
Re: Take A Look At Netflix's Two Teaser Trailers For Resident Evil
@Bizzyb Lickers, Wesker, Zombies, Dogs, Giant Spiders, Umbrella Corp, T-Virus, RE3 Worm...

Re: Nintendo Forecasts Profits And Sales To Drop In This Financial Year
Oh dear oh dear... this is a disaster. They reached a peak with Hotel Mario and it's been downhill ever since. Nintendoom & gloom folks!

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th May (Europe)
I thought the 'Best Month Ever' tagline was initially referring to May & I was like, 'what's so special about this month', then I scrolled down.
Re: Review: Fragrant Story - A Goofy, Final Fantasy Tactics-Style Indie Swansong For 3DS
Was going to pick one of these us, but $45 shipping to UK was a bit extreme. Someone is already trying to flog one on eBay for £250 🙄
Re: Inappropriate Names In Nintendo Switch Sports Prompt Report Function Requests
