Going to try out my Carby HD GameCube adaptor on a few games including the Gameboy Player. Might go for Super Monkey Ball first. Also playing Pixeljunk Shooter 2 on PS3 and deciding between Tales of Xillia or Sly Cooper 2, still not sure.
Already have the original Drill Dozer which I got on import, it's a great game. Definitely need to get Duck Hunt and I'm sure Hogan's Alley is on Wii U virtual console too. Can't believe I stopped playing half way through the e-reader levels on Super Mario Bros. 3, shame on me.
The Sonic Advance games on Switch would be awesome. Would also be great to have both Sonic Rush games from the DS and Sonic Colours from the DS too. Am still a fan of Sonic Heroes, have it on GameCube.
My favourites are Canvas Curse, Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby Superstar Ultra and my favourite favourite is Return to Dreamland. Can't think of a Kirby game that I really dislike and have played most of them. Haven't played Planet Robobot or Star Allies yet.
Also like a lot of the Kirby spin off games and have played Kirby games since I was a kid. Still need to try Air Ride as that looks fun.
@JRJalapeno I played all of 3D World in single player on Wii U and really enjoyed it. There's going to be an option for online play with the Switch version if you want to try it but I'm quite happy with single player.
@Dm9982 I didn't manage to 100% Breath of the Wild either, it's just too much. The only other Zelda game I haven't completed 100% was collecting all the figurines in The Minish Cap on GBA because the lottery system was just silly.
Should finish God of War 2 this weekend (which is awesome) then I might go onto Puppeteer or Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy for PS3.
On Switch I've been playing Magicat which is a simple but fun platformer, nothing amazing but relaxing. I also play Ring Fit Adventure twice a week as it helps keep my back pain at bay.
Didn't enjoy Pearl too much when it was released but never quite knew why, still completed the game though. Would be happy to give it another shot if the rumour proves to be true. Seems like a remake of Diamond/Pearl would be on the cards.
Splatfest for me, then the HD remake of God of War 2 on PS3. I'm planning on working through the God of War games gradually (playing different games in-between) and then finishing with God of War PS4. Am worried if I play the PS4 one first the others won't feel so good.
Have completed the Tetris 99 event, onto the Smash one and then The Crown Tundra which I hope to finish. Hoping to start Tales of Xillia this weekend. Also Mole Mania on Gameboy which I don't enjoy as much as I used to.
Good to see Bloody Roar Primal Fury get a mention, one of my first GameCube games.
I preferred Super Mario Galaxy a little more but still think Galaxy 2 is amazing. We've got to be getting Galaxy 2 on Switch in 2021, the Switch version of the first game was so pretty.
Played Final Fantasy Legend when I was younger and got stuck about half way through because I didn't understand the mechanics. Guess the game is very dated by today's standards but am still tempted to try again despite the review.
I played my original GBA as was thinking about getting a modded version with backlight. However one thing I noticed was how small the d-pad is, it's so uncomfortable to use in games like The Minish Cap. The d-pad works ok for 2D games where you're moving from left to right but the GBA SP has a better d-pad although I prefer the form factor of the original GBA, you just can't win can you?
Hoping to finish Spyro Year of the Dragon this weekend. Also playing Pang Adventures on Switch which is really addictive with the game being a blend of puzzle and action, two player online play would've been great for this.
Not being able to jump down through platforms will irritate me. Will consider this in a sale but at such a short length think I will forget it easily. Have played a few short games lately.
Still haven't played the first game yet. Am interested what is meant by "thousands of levels". Guess the game lives up to its name if there really is that many levels.
Kuru Kuru Kururin on GBA, it's such a unique game and great fun.
Spyro Year of the Dragon. Am now on the last game of Spyro Trilogy on PS4. The graphics are so beautiful will definitely be replaying these games in the future.
When they announced this I went and purchased Shadow Dragon on the DS second hand instead. The original doesn't really appeal to me much but it does look good for a NES game.
I've got more than enough Picross to be getting through so won't bother with this one. Am getting kind of bored with Picross now but that's because I've played a tonne of it over the years.

Re: Nintendo's Paper Mario Series Is Now 20 Years Old
The original Paper Mario is still my favourite but I do need to revisit TTYD and see if my opinion is still the same.
Re: Celebrate 25 Years Of Pokémon With This Pikachu-Themed PowerA Controller
I'm thinking about getting the 8 Bit Do SN30 + lately, the Power A one used to appeal to me but not anymore.

Re: Video: Super Mario 3D Land Deserves to Be Remembered
I haven't forgotten 3D Land, it's a decent game but 3D World was much better for me personally.
Re: The First Review For Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Is Now In
Have pre-ordered already as I know I'm in for a good time with 3D World.
Re: Video: 5 Special Wii U Virtual Console Games Not on Switch

Re: Super Mario 3D World's Platforming Will Be "Snappier" On Switch, Gyro Support Included
Didn't have an issue with the running speed on the Wii U version but this is a nice addition.
Re: Video: 7 Legacy Sonic Games That Were Never Rereleased

Re: Atooi Knocks 80% Off Select Switch Games, But The Sale Ends Soon
Mutant Mudds is a great game, still haven't got around to Xeodrifter yet.
Re: Atooi Knocks 80% Off Select Switch Games, But The Sale Ends Soon
@nessisonett Now you've mentioned it I'll be thinking of Dexter's Laboratory too.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Stays On Top In A Week Dominated By Nintendo
@westman98 That is odd, I thought people might go for Super Mario Maker 2 instead of NSMBU DX but it's not in the top 10.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Stays On Top In A Week Dominated By Nintendo
Saw the charts and had to remind myself it's not long before 3D Allstars won't be available anymore. Might grab a collector's copy.
Re: Fancy A Second Switch Dock For Your Bedroom Or Office? Now's Your Chance
I thought the dock was cheap and then read about the power adaptor and HDMI cable not being included, the price makes sense now.
Had heard rumours Nintendo weren't bothering making more docks because the Switch Pro is coming but that's just a rumor I guess.
Re: Nintendo Shares New Info About Bowser's Fury Mode In Super Mario 3D World
Was going to double dip anyway so this is a bonus for me. It's not often that I double dip but I make an exception for 3D World.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes Will Be Revealed For Switch Next Month

Re: Nintendo DS Platformer Monster Tale Is Making A Comeback On Modern Consoles
Have been meaning to get this game on DS for a while now but looks like I won't need to bother.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 9th)
@Rpg-lover Those new joycons do look great with a full dpad too. Might get a pair myself.

Re: Reminder: Nintendo Kicks Off The New Year With A Kirby Fighters 2 Tetris 99 Maximus Cup
I like this theme and the music for it. Already got it this morning. Surprisingly came third and didn't even realise how far I'd got until I lost.
Got loads of KOs and into the top ten a few times I was really surprised.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Spirits Are Being Added To Smash Ultimate
Haven't played Smash in ages so this is a good excuse to get back into it. Always enjoyed Spirit Board mode.
Re: Best Of 2020: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 10 Years Of Nintendo's Straightest, Greatest Sequel
I preferred Super Mario Galaxy a little more but still think Galaxy 2 is amazing. We've got to be getting Galaxy 2 on Switch in 2021, the Switch version of the first game was so pretty.

Re: Best Of 2020: Creating The Ultimate Game Boy
@andykara2003 I'm with you on the Vita, definitely a beautifully made console.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 19th)
@Aispen I keep meaning to play Oracle of Ages, was thinking a remake like Link's Awakening might happen soon but not sure I'm willing to wait.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 19th)

Re: CIRCLE Entertainment And Flyhigh Works Host Huge Festive Sale, 39 Switch Games Discounted
Shadow of Adam is the one I'm interested in for now, have a few of the others already.
Re: Delisted Switch Title Save Me Mr Tako Will Return Better Than Ever, Says Creator
How do you make an octopus laugh?
Ten tickles 😁
Shame about the game though, have already purchased but when I heard about people getting lost it really put me off so haven't tried it yet.

Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Online - Every NES And SNES Game Available
I dip in and out of SNES online games now and then, sometimes NES ones too. Do often forget about the service though.
If Chrono Trigger isn't coming to NSO then I hope it's made available on Switch as that's my most wanted SNES game right now.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles
DKC 3 for me. The other games don't appeal, we definitely need GBA games soon.
Re: Super Meat Boy Forever Finally Slices Up A Nintendo Switch Release Date
Still haven't played the first game yet. Am interested what is meant by "thousands of levels". Guess the game lives up to its name if there really is that many levels.
Re: Random: Disgruntled Fans Spam Nintendo Tweet In Response To YouTube Soundtrack Takedowns
Can't understand why Nintendo doesn't just make them available to buy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 12th)
@YoshiFlutterJump Great, thanks
Re: Cuphead Is Getting His Very Own PowerA Enhanced Wireless Switch Controller
@Clyde_Radcliffe Thanks for the information. Think I'll get a Power A controller after what you've said, a lighter controller sounds great.
I think with the Gameboy it was to do with rechargable batteries having a slightly different voltage. Didn't make a difference for me though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 12th)
Still playing Spyro Trilogy on Year of the Dragon, lovely game. Also a bit of Kuru Kuru Kururin on GBA which shouldn't take me much longer.
Also want to play Kinectimals on XBox 360 because animals are cute.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 12th)
@YoshiFlutterJump I didn't know there was a Starfy 4, will have to check it out. Legendary Starfy is a great game.
Re: Cuphead Is Getting His Very Own PowerA Enhanced Wireless Switch Controller
@Clyde_Radcliffe Can you use rechargable AA batteries in the controller?
I remember with the old Gameboy you were only supposed to use non- rechargable batteries. Not that it stopped me 😁
Re: Cuphead Is Getting His Very Own PowerA Enhanced Wireless Switch Controller
Like the look of this controller, might well get one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 5th)
Tetris 99 for the event theme.
Kuru Kuru Kururin on GBA, it's such a unique game and great fun.
Spyro Year of the Dragon. Am now on the last game of Spyro Trilogy on PS4. The graphics are so beautiful will definitely be replaying these games in the future.
Re: Poll: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & The Blade Of Light Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
When they announced this I went and purchased Shadow Dragon on the DS second hand instead. The original doesn't really appeal to me much but it does look good for a NES game.
Re: All Abylight Studios Switch Games Are Now 50% Off For Black Friday
I've got Super Hydorah, haven't played yet but looks fun.
Re: Tetris 99 Hosting Super Mario All-Stars Maximus Cup Later This Week
Themes always bring me back to Tetris 99, otherwise I tend to forget about it. Looking forward to this one.
Re: Mini Review: Picross S5 - You Know The Drill By Now, Surely?
I've got more than enough Picross to be getting through so won't bother with this one. Am getting kind of bored with Picross now but that's because I've played a tonne of it over the years.
Re: Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Has Already Sold Over 500,000 Copies Globally
It's on my wishlist as am still unsure about the game. Glad to see it's a success though.
