@wuntyme8 As for Turok/Turok 2 just buy the remastered games for Switch. Especially the first game suffered from the thick fog on N64, while the remaster has a much improved line of sight. And they play great!
But what about Beetle Adventure Racing and Top Gear Overdrive?
Capcom games: cool But it seems they won‘t be available as a cartridge, so they are not playable on my Evercade VS!? First the Namco games, now Capcom, that‘s not cool!
Ah, Ocean… famous for many mediocre and some good movie licensed games I really liked playing Batman: The Movie. On Amstrad CPC of course. And Wizball on Amiga was legend
@BabyYoda71
These groups are a little different (better) than folders. They are some kind of tags, so you can have the same game in different groups. Eg you could put Republic Command in a FPS group at the same time with a Star Wars group, with folders you would have to decide which one to choose
I played the original pinball machine back those days in a pub many times with my band colleagues, so I was really excited for the release. But 15€? No, thanks. I‘ll wait for some discount.
@Nambit Yeah, the Pin-Bot Trilogy would be really cool
Ah, Elmar Krieger, the guy who brought Prehistorik 2 and Super Cauldron to the good old Amstrad CPC in the 90s. Met him once at a CPC computer party in 2001. Nice that he is still in cool things.
Oh, another villager with glowing bodyparts? For those who did not know: The alligator Del has glowing eyes. Ah, Del, my favourite lighthouse keeper… Any more villager with glowing parts?
The weeds on my island do not grow anymore, so it seems I have the maximum possible amount. AND I still have 5 stars, so with a nice island it is not needed to get rid of these lovely beautiful plants!
@YusseiWarrior3000 Wikipedia: „An automobile skid is an automobile handling condition where one or more tires are slipping relative to the road, and the overall handling of the vehicle has been affected.“
As the Switch acts just as controller and display, I would not call cloud versions as switch games. So for me personally: No, Kingdom Hearts games are not coming to the switch. Same with the other cloud releases of course.
@Yosher @SalvorHardin
Steve and Alex are not the same mould. If you look closer you can see, that Alex has at least thinner arms (as in Minecraft). But of course the changes are minimalistic.
I don‘t like the pose. Why not something more dynamic, and with a pickaxe? I own two figures of Steve and Alex from some blind boxes with way more interesting poses…
It is not great, but okayish. At least it does not look like a kids TV channel logo anymore. But they really could have done better…
I really like when companies put a nice little graphical element in their logo. Like Psygnosis did. Or Rainbow Arts. Or the first EA logo. Atari. Playtonic. Why not use Pac-Man in a new Bandai Namco logo?

Well, I just played the second game „Cruis‘n World“ today on my good old N64, and at least there are UFOs visiting Stonehenge. But despite racing through some ancient egypt or mexican buildings, the tracks are nice but without too much wackyness.
@Ventilator Yes, but as those are devices you do not store somewhere but hold in your hands, a comparison of dimensions without mass is a little incomplete, don‘t you agree?
Not Nintendo related, but in the games „Billy la Banlieue“ and „Billy 2“ from Loriciels for the Amstrad CPC, your task was to play and beat several Arcade Machines to get a code to win the game. Of course they weren‘t spectacular, but it was a fun idea to play breakout, a small racing or shooting game within another game.
Hm, not really excited. Looks like another generic coming of age show with unnecessary slapstick and bad jokes, similar to some Star Wars animations, but uglier. I hope, I am wrong…
So if you don‘t find a name for your game, just put the description on the front. 😂
And soon from the same company are coming those new games: „Drive fast on the street. And even if you crash, get back on your seat to earn more cash and buy a better car.“ „Kick the ball. There is a goal at the other side. Hit it and you team will become stronger and well known.“ and last but not least: „Beware the falling blocks. Stack them fast and stack them right. See them disappearing? Become the hero of the fading blocks!“
My Switch is still ok, as I mostly play docked with Pro Controller or with a TPU sleeve. But I already had to change the fan and in couch multiplayer both right Joycons sometimes loses connection for a few seconds and can easily been distracted by my low table...
@Phillips455 LRG must have changed that. I also saw a price of 29,99$ on their website.
Edit: And several other news sites wrote about the same starting price.

Re: Here's What The Nintendo Switch Looks Like Next To Valve's Steam Deck
@Ventilator
I could not find an information about the Lynx‘ weight. Could you weigh yours?
Re: Here's What The Nintendo Switch Looks Like Next To Valve's Steam Deck
Wow, this is huge.
But I missed the weight in the comparison, here it is:
PS Vita: 219-279g
Nintendo Switch (orig./Lite/OLED): 398g / 275g / 420g
Sega GameGear: ~400g (+ Batteries ~140g?)
Steam Deck: 669g
iPad (1st gen./8th gen.): 680g / 490g
The Steam Deck is a really heavy one. I had the first iPad, and the weight could be a real problem for longer game sessions.
