Love the 2600, love Lego, but the asking price is too much of an ask unfortunately. A couple of the upcoming Icon sets I want way more than this and it’s too much for a spur of the moment purchase.
Love my PC-Engine and I love a top-down racer, but Moto Roader was terrible, and seeing those words attached to this isn’t making me reach for my wallet.
My Switch has been the poor relation to my Xbox Series X this year, and I can’t think of much beyond Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection. Maybe Clockwork Aquario too, though it’s not exactly a new game.
There’s few games I’ve spent as long playing as Tetris, but the PS4 and Xbox versions of this gave me motion sickness. Hoping third time lucky on a smaller screen!
I’ve usually got games of Resident Evil IV and Silent Hill 2 on the go. I just love them. I’m on my third play through of Resident Evil Village too, but that’s because I’m not quite done with everything yet. And I love it too! There’s a load of old Spectrum and ST stuff I’ll replay endlessly as well.
@russell-marlow Everything needs its own label, whether it’s this, going to the supermarket (road trip) or going in Starbucks with the wife (lunch date).
@carlos82 Thanks a lot. That definitely helps, and I have red-black colourblindness, so probably explains not knowing what got me... definitely wasn’t ghosts!
I finished this the other day and apart from a couple of bugs where things didn’t trigger but otherwise ran great on Xbox. Where it comes with Game Pass. Anyway, good game and I hope they do the Switch version justice at some point.
Narita Boy is a fantastic metroidvania homage to the eighties. Really recommend it if that sounds your bag. Even more so if you’ve got access to Game Pass!
@lifer Thanks. Still won’t work for me. Aside from great, it’s the worst address form ever. What form ever had complementary address as a field? Anyway, I contacted them using the help form using made up order numbers and tracking information because that’s the only way they let you ask a question!
I think I’ve just lost my points redeeming this in the UK. Cannot ship to the UK for “technical” reasons. Except for MyRewards, which I thought this was. But anyway, it won’t let you go past entering your address. None of their support contact forms that even vaguely relate to this are working either.

Re: Sega's Latest Mini-Console Is Cute, But Reviewers Are Complaining Of Bad Lag
The input lag from my brain to my fingers is way more than that so I’ll still get one when they arrive here!
Re: There Will Soon Be A New Classic Console To Keep Your LEGO NES Company
Love the 2600, love Lego, but the asking price is too much of an ask unfortunately. A couple of the upcoming Icon sets I want way more than this and it’s too much for a spur of the moment purchase.
Re: Review: PAC-MAN MUSEUM+ - A Gaming Legend's Best Collection Yet
@Not_Soos Can confirm it’s bad on Pac-Land on the Xbox, although being on Game Pass does sweeten the deal.
Re: Review: FAR: Changing Tides - Mindblowing Moments Of Scale, Detail, And Discovery
Worth a Game Pass download.
Re: Namco's Dragon Spirit Is Coming To Arcade Archives On Switch
Love the PC-Engine port but have never played the original so I think I might be all over it!
Re: PC Engine Classic 'Moto Roader MC' Is Getting Resurrected On Switch
Love my PC-Engine and I love a top-down racer, but Moto Roader was terrible, and seeing those words attached to this isn’t making me reach for my wallet.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Switch Game Of 2021? It's Time To Rate Your Favourites
My Switch has been the poor relation to my Xbox Series X this year, and I can’t think of much beyond Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection. Maybe Clockwork Aquario too, though it’s not exactly a new game.
Re: Feature: All Five American Football Games On Switch (Yes, You Read That Right)
I missed Football Frenzy coming out. Nice one. Thanks.
Re: New Windjammers 2 Trailer Showcases Two Characters And A Bunch Of Cool Moves
I was excited, and even more so now I don’t have to pay for it on Game Pass!
Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
I’ll get it for N64 but I’ve got all of this stuff on Switch and everywhere else already.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?
Never had an N64, and never really bothered with the hassle of trying to emulate it, so sounds good to me.
Re: Review: Tetris Effect: Connected - Mizuguchi's Masterpiece Finds Its Ideal Platform
There’s few games I’ve spent as long playing as Tetris, but the PS4 and Xbox versions of this gave me motion sickness. Hoping third time lucky on a smaller screen!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - August 2021
I’ve been playing tons of Art of Rally, but on Xbox Game Pass. Same for Quake, though that’s giving me a bit of motion sickness.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 28th)
Psychonauts 2 on Xbox, Luigi’s Mansion on GameCube.
Re: 'Castlevania Advance Collection' Possibly Revealed By Rating In Australia
Love it, though it does make me feel even worse for owning all three GBA carts day one and only having played one after all these years.
Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
Highlight of the show. Can’t resist a Game & Watch!
Re: Taito Milestones Is A Collection Of Arcade Archives Titles Heading To Switch
I’ve only got Elevator Action out of those, and I’d never buy any of the rest individually, so I like this.
Re: Feature: What's Your Most Treasured Club Nintendo Possession?
Snoopy Tennis Game & Watch. Still in its box, still plays perfectly after nearly 40 years.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?
I’ve usually got games of Resident Evil IV and Silent Hill 2 on the go. I just love them. I’m on my third play through of Resident Evil Village too, but that’s because I’m not quite done with everything yet. And I love it too! There’s a load of old Spectrum and ST stuff I’ll replay endlessly as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 29th)
Wave Race on GameCube, Mr Heli on PC-Engine and hopefully finishing Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Re: Soapbox: Resident Evil Gaiden Is Good, Actually
Was always impressed that they even attempted this even if it’s not the best of games.
Re: Review: King of Seas - Naval Combat Gets Grindy After A Promising Start
Played the demo but got fed up of all the talking before I saw any real action.
Re: Review: SnowRunner - A Slow And Steady Off-Road Trucker
I played the first level on Game Pass earlier. I don’t understand!
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles
All new to me, so good news, through realistically I won’t even load a baseball game.
Re: Talking Point: If Nintendo Released Them, Would You Play Virtual Boy Games In 2021?
My red-black colourblindness says no.
Re: Review: Skate City - Lacks Real Challenge, But Good For Board-Based Vibing
Just get a month”s trial on Apple Arcade and play it for free. You’ll get your money’s worth, and it was build for touchscreens.
Re: Review: R-Type Final 2 - Shmup Royalty Returns In An Authentic, If Flawed, Revival
All that loading after you lose a life put me right off when I okayed the demo. Sounds like I need to check out the PlayStation version though!
Re: Random: Make Yourself A Taiko No Tatsujin Drumsona
@russell-marlow Everything needs its own label, whether it’s this, going to the supermarket (road trip) or going in Starbucks with the wife (lunch date).
Re: Review: Rain on Your Parade - A Refreshingly Brief But Saccharine Shower
Played this on Game Pass. If you like the goose game you’ll probably like this. I didn’t.
Re: Konami's Classic Coin-Op Shooter Thunder Cross II Hits Switch This Week
Nice. This is the only one I don’t have!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 16th)
Some Pac-Man 99 but mostly Outriders on Xbox.
Re: Review: PAC-MAN 99 - The BR Formula Freshens Up Another Timeless Classic
@carlos82 Thanks a lot. That definitely helps, and I have red-black colourblindness, so probably explains not knowing what got me... definitely wasn’t ghosts!
Re: Review: PAC-MAN 99 - The BR Formula Freshens Up Another Timeless Classic
I’ve had a few games, got into the top ten, then just died without knowing why. I’m pretty good at Pac-Man but not sure I get all the rules here!
Re: Reminder: PAC-MAN 99 Is Now Available On The Nintendo Switch
I’ll give it a go but I’ve not been fussed by these 99 games so far despite my love for the original games.
Re: Review: Genesis Noir - This Indie Gem Deserves A Better Switch Port
I finished this the other day and apart from a couple of bugs where things didn’t trigger but otherwise ran great on Xbox. Where it comes with Game Pass. Anyway, good game and I hope they do the Switch version justice at some point.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives Haunted Castle - The Worst Castlevania? Quite Possibly
I love Castlevania (even the first Game Boy game!) but I bounced off this when it came on the Konami Collection. Just not fun.
Re: The R-Type Final 2 Demo For Switch Can Now Be Downloaded In The West
Not keen on the loading screen every time you die. You die a lot in R-Types.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 3rd)
Outriders and Narita Boy
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st April (Europe)
Narita Boy is a fantastic metroidvania homage to the eighties. Really recommend it if that sounds your bag. Even more so if you’ve got access to Game Pass!

Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons A Year Later?
I decided a year and about 650 hours was enough so will put it on eBay this week and call it quits once it sells.
Re: Blizzard Arcade Collection Announced For Nintendo Switch, Out Today On The eShop
I’ll get this just for Rock N' Roll Racing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 6th)
Simpson’s Hit n Run on GameCube, Cyber Shadow on Xbox (sorry Switch, but Game Pass) and Vampyr on PS4, though I might bin that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 23rd)
Thunder Force III on Megadrive, Dragon Spirit on PC-Engine and Spyro 2 on PS4.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 9th)
Just finished Resient Evil 4 on Gamecube, moved straight to 3 Remake on PS4.
Re: Feature: The Best Hidden Gems And Overlooked Switch Games Of 2020
In Other Waters is my game of the year. And Horace is crazy, crazy cheap at the moment!
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles
Never played any of these. Cool.
Re: Capcom Arcade Stadium Brings More Retro Action To Switch Early Next Year
Take my money. I’d be happy with just 1942 and Commando!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 5th)
Resident Evil 4 on GameCube. Splatterhouse on PC-Engine.
