Wow that was a lot of car racing metaphors in one short review

Rayman Legends! Such a fun and absorbing game. And a total bargain in the recent sale. I also picked up Runbow for like £3 so I'll be trying that with a couple of pals

@Oldiebutnoobie I'm only a handful of hours in but enjoying it so far, I can see why it's such a well-regarded game. Never actually played a classic Metroid but apparently it captures the feel really well and the Stranger Things-esque soundtrack is a big plus.

Welcome to the Switch owners' club - some solid game choices there!

Starting my first playthrough of Axiom Verge! With a side order of Zelda: A Link to the Past

I wonder if the sound will randomly pan over to the left from time to time.

I once had a gym instructor I called Orange Ricky.

Thanks to all commenters for explaining this fully. Quite tempted by it now!

@strongest_link that's a useful paragraph that i didn't spot in the review, thanks!

Still interested to know more about how the cities are presented and how you interact with them, how they affect your journey in different ways etc...I'll Google it.

Umm, after reading this I'm a bit unclear as to what you actually do in this game? Like, what are you trying to achieve? Why is 80 days important? What happens when you reach each city - what do you find there and what are you meant to do? Uncharacteristically sketchy review guys, it sounds a bit like i might like this but basically I'm none the wiser.

EDIT: First!

Just completed this and returning to the review that convinced me to buy for like £2. It's decent - but imo think it's way off a 9 on its own merits as it's just way too insubstantial. I'd have paid more for 8 - 12 levels with one character over just 4 levels with 3 as the speedrunning aspect really doesn't interest me.

Think now time has passed, and with the amount of quality on the eShop, NL might hesitate to give this a 9 these days...still though, not a bad game, just temper your expectations slightly...

Kamiko and Doom!

Gonna have a go at BotW's Trial of the Sword before I go beat Ganon one last time for the true ending and probably put the game down once and for all (until it sucks me back in again).

Otherwise, chugging through the excellent Doom 2016, Starfox on SNES and might boot up Kamiko for the first time!

Well done ninty, you did the right thing

Lack of gyro aiming is a bummer, would have been sorely tempted but without that just mildly tempted

@NotTelevision God, HEXEN! I had completely forgotten about that game. That takes me back. Does it still hold up?

I never played Doom 64, in fact I've never played a Doom game and I have Doom 2016 in my cart slot ready to play for the first time today. Exciting!

I seem to remember Doom 64 getting so-so reviews at the time, which makes me wonder now if the franchise had got a bit unfashionable by 1997.

Now it seems everyone is happy to acknowledge how great they were - so I'm looking forward to playing through them all on Switch!

Don't fancy offering a prize draw or something for filling it out NL?? I mean I'll do it but c'mon give it up you must be surrounded by stuff just begging to be given away

@frabbit agree that Rayman price looks like an absolute steal!

I have to be disciplined about these eshop sales so as I'd already dipped for Cave Story+ like an hour before these were all announced, I'll have to wait a bit and hope that offer comes round again..

Mind you I'm pretty happy with my deal on Cave Story+

@Mince lol just checking you'd rather NL paid its journalists to read through the Portuguese, Serbian and Basque versions of an ancient game than focus on reporting breaking Nintendo news?

"Why isn't your exclusive feature on Metroid Prime 4 up yet?"

"BECAUSE I AM A GOOD JOURNALIST AND I'M TOO BUSY LISTENING TO THE DANISH VOICEOVERS OF WARIO WARE SMOOTH MOVES TO CHECK FOR MISTAKES"

I played the VR version of this on a stag do - really interesting game. Would be cool if there was Labo support, I'd be really tempted by that. Probs time to buy that knock-off Labo VR headstrap..

I'm working over my oldest switch games before i tuck back into the ridiculous backlog and try and figure out which to buy first from SMM2, Astral Chain, Link's Awakening, The Witcher and Wolfenstein...

...so it's Mario + Rabbids (still got a world to do and a bunch of challenges) and the Zelda BOTW DLC along with getting that 'true' ending!

@Doktor-Mandrake tbf I've not had much joy with the online play. Last time I tried the game could only match me with one other player, if any.

Plus I'm a casual player and most people I matched with were insanely good at the game to the point where it can't have been much fun for either of us. Maybe others' experience is different but I'd struggle to recommend it.

As a local multiplayer game though, Duck Game is supreme.

YOU FORGOT DUCK GAME

100% would buy a Power Stone re-release or a new title. The Dreamcast was such a boss console!
