Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time

Doesn’t surprise me. Nintendo has long had the cynical strategy of selling the same game multiple times.

I’m glad they’re not forcing you to buy both. But I’ll be super annoyed if the Mario Galaxy 1 is hugely improved.

I would love for Nintendo to include NES / SNES without a paid subscription. It would be a nice offering for their customers.

Re: Metroid Prime 4 Rating Spotted On Nintendo's Website

lol at this redacted thread!

A bit off topic, but were there sources that said prime 2 and 3 had been ready for ages? Or am I imagining it. It may have been that TP and WW had HD versions waiting.

Anyway would love some more prime games before beyond

I remember acclaim back in the day. Can’t remember their games though…. Time for some google-fu

I spent a lot of time on the wizards & warriors trilogy - looking back time has not been kind and I think rare probably had their fingers in it. And Bart v space mutants I played a bit but wasn’t the best game on the NES.

I’ll be surprised if this generates much excitement

I would love to play shadow of the colossus - so bring that back like portal. Otherwise I’m very into doom right now, plays pretty good on switch 2, so give me an impossible dark ages port. And I’ll take Indiana Jones just because I’m an 80s/90s kid at heart

Re: Review: Drag x Drive (Switch 2) - A Real Baller With Friends, But Is There Enough To Do?

I imagine pushing a wheelchair builds some real wrist strength. So those of us not in wheelchairs with fragile wrists just have to accept the developers bringing that realism of wheelchair based sport through the discomfort of sideways joycons.

I writing this in jest of course.

This is not very PC but in terms of wheelchair based video games, but I always imagined a Stephen Hawking Pro-Wheelchair game in the vein of tony hawk. It would have been ridiculously funny and because it was Stephen Hawking the physicist maybe you could chuck in a teleport ability because clearly this would not have been a game to take seriously.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Third-Party TV Docks

timp29

Switch 1 the plug in the base of my dock broke from toddlers constantly pulling the console in and out.

Bought a 3rd party ‘dock’ that resembled the talacone and had no issues. If the dock fan provides no cooling to the switch as others have pointed out, then replicating a plug/cable and HDMI output seems a reasonable option.

I will look into this for the second tv

Re: Review: DOOM (Switch)

timp29

I tried to play this back in early switch 1 days. Partly as a homage to the original which I played to death back in the 90s. The loading times sucked, I struggled with the playstyle that needed constant aggression and didn’t come back to it until switch 2.

Now that I’ve figured out the playstyle that works, wow I love this game. Just bought doom eternal when I’m only halfway through doom 2016 and fingers crossed dark ages lands on switch 2.

This is a very enjoyable game I have to say, but for those who played the original there is a learning curve and you cannot play cautiously.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GameCube) - A Timeless Treasure

I know WW is much loved, but I just couldn’t gel with it… at least compared to earlier titles. I would say for me, pre switch it’s probably #5.

It’s a great game still, but against some stiff competition. If I had embraced the game cube era and played at release, my nostalgia points might have been higher.

Essentially the seafaring needed to be streamlined and if they had expanded the undersea world I would have given this a 10/10.

But when you head into that last dungeon I remember thinking just how freaking amazing that point in the game was. One of the most epic bits in the series.
