@montrayjak It still can happen but if people are willing to take the risk then fine. People should not stress about it I agree, but it is something to consider when buying an OLED.
Don't want to come off as some kind of sad crybaby fanboy, but it was kinda average and being a Mario fan bitterly disappointed there was no news of a new 3D Mario game. 6/10.
I am hoping the price of the Switch comes down in price when the Switch 2 is released. It might seem odd to some but if that happens I will buy a Switch OLED this year.
@Mirastrix I could not agree with you more, but unfortunately he is not the only one. I listen to the XBox Era podcast and the Xbox2 podcast and the amount of garbage, lies and nonsense that come out of the hosts mouths on a weekly basis is laughable (albeit entertaining).
Well I have fond memories of Marvel Superheroes and X men Vs Streetfighter as I played both extensively in the arcades back in the day but I think it is probably Marvel Vs Capcom 2 on Sega Dreamcast as I played that religiously too, LOL.
@soma I am surprised Marvel Super Heroes has only got 2% Of the votes as the Infinity Gems add depth and more strategy to the gameplay and this game introduced air combos as well.
Slightly off topic but I am currently playing through Persona 4 Golden for the first time (first Persona game too) and honestly not really loving it. The turn based combat is good but the school sim stuff is not my cup of tea. Might try the others but I dunno...
GAME will be no more in 12 to 18 months time. Such a shame as it used to be so good going into them in the 90's and early noughties but unfortunately times have changed. Difficult to say when it was peak GAME but it's incredible how things are now in the high street compared to a decade ago.
7/15. But to be fair I have a terrible memory. My memory is so bad I sometimes get stuck in some of the dungeons when I replay the game even though I have completed the game about half a dozen times LOL.
It may be a collector and saw a good opportunity when he/she saw it. I think if I saw a brand new sealed boxed Wii U for sale I would have bought it too.
Probably in the minority but I do not like the art style at all. Looks like an evolved art style of the New Super Mario Bros games when it should have been revolutionary.
@Beefcakeyamato Never played the arcade version to be honest but had the Japanese Megadrive cart and loved the game despite the difficulty. Traded it in along with a ton of other Megadrive games and a UK Megadrive for a US Super NES. I have no regrets about getting a SNES but regret to this day about getting rid of my Megadrive and all the games.
From what I remember from reading all the magazine reviews back in the day, the Sega Megadrive version of the New Zealand Story is considered even better than the Arcade version.
Beautiful trailer and I don't even have a Switch. I just wish this game was on more powerful hardware. Would love to pay this game at 1440P and at 60FPS. Maybe on a Switch Pro? I have a Series X and I am willing to wait for this to happen as I have a massive back catalogue of games.
This is the one game that may tempt me to finally get a Nintendo Switch (OLED). I have a Gamecube and a copy of Metroid Prime AND a nice Sony CRT to play it on however if I really wanted to play it again and I am not willing to pay such a large amount of money on just one game ...yet. Maybe next when a Switch becomes cheaper.
The last new Nintendo console I bought was the New Nintendo 3DS XL years ago so I am not a hardcore Nintendo fan. However, this poster is great and it makes me want to play a Mario game. Mission accomplished I think.
Will finally have the N64 holy trinity together again (Goldeneye, Turok 2 and Perfect Dark) on XBox Series X with enhanced framerate and better resolution. Excellent.
Ori & the Blind Forest on xbox. The character was just not doing what i was inputting on my controller, don't know if my game was bugged or not. So frustrating, i gave up.
As many have said, Blue Storm just didn't have the magic of Wave Race 64, whatever that was. I don't have a Switch and i still miss playing Wave Race sometimes, after all these years.

@RBRTMNZ They still do unfortunately.

If anyone is buying an OLED be careful of burn in because it can still happen.

Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Sold Better Than Tears Of The Kingdom Last Quarter
Because BOTW is cheaper than TOTK?
I wish Nintendo would lower the price of their Switch consoles and games so I could actually buy one LOL.

Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct
I will have to buy a PS5 or a Switch just to play this collection as it is not coming to Xbox, or wait in the vain hope that it does.

Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Gamescom Demo Supposedly Had Zelda: BOTW Running At 4K 60FPS
If Nintendo released a Switch 2 that could run BOTW at 1440p/60FPS rock solid I would buy one ASAP.
I do not have any of the Switch models.
