I've finally finished Fire Emblem Fates Birthright which was awesome, am deciding whether to go for Conquest right away as I want to see the other side of the story but read a guide first so I can get someone to use S rank weapons this time.
Also playing Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) Mini 2: Fantasy Zone - awesome fun Ristar - average Hellfire - haven't played yet Sonic CD - still undecided on what I think
I've almost finished Legends Arceus so not sure I'll play Scarlett and Violet right away but they sound good to me. I didn't have big issues with performance in Arceus but noticed a lot more with Sword/Shield.
@Browny I'm waiting for me Splatoon 3 stages too. There's way too little stages available, especially when you consider some have been taken from previous games.
I'm getting close to finishing Pokémon Legends Arceus, just got the ability to fly. Also playing Ring Fit Adventure and Fire Emblem Fates Birthright. It's going to take me ages to catch up with the Fire Emblem series.
Gourmet Race for me but it's closely followed by Ballad of the Goddess. I don't remember actually hearing the entire song for Ballad of the Goddess in Skyward Sword.
Have gone back to Pokémon Legends Arceus after getting hooked on Splatoon 3 for hours. Also making my way through Fire Emblem Fates Birthright on 3DS. Happy gaming everyone.
Congratulations Splatoon 3. Had great fun in the Splatfest at the weekend. I wonder if the new DLC and advertising has caused the increase in MK8 sales.
Fire Emblem Fates Birthright. Thank goodness you can turn off permadeath so you don't have to restart the entire level because the enemy gets lucky with a critical hit.
I got bored with Legends Arceus so will play some Splatoon 3 and am also playing Gone Home which is very interesting.
@mlj11 I really enjoyed Sword of Vermilion when I was younger. Haven't played it recently though but it's definitely better than some other games which have scored higher.
I've pre-ordered Splatoon 3 but we have a postal strike here so it will be delayed. Am not too bothered though since I'm busy with other games and haven't tried the new Mario Kart 8 tracks yet.
Has anyone else noticed the Mega Drive Mini 2 only comes with ONE control pad, not two like the previous Mega Drive Mini? The Mini 2 comes with the six button pad and not the three button pad.
I've seen Warioware cheaper physically, got my copy for £25. I would like Monster Hunter Rise but don't think I have enough time to invest in the game.
My problem with both games was having to play completely with the stylus. It got uncomfortable holding the DS a certain way after a while. They were still fun Zelda games though.
Theathrythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call on 3DS, I just love Final Fantasy music. Also playing Retro City Rampage on 3DS and my weekly work out on Ring Fit Adventure.
I want Story of Thor 2 (Beyond Oasis 2) but that was a Sega Saturn game so it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Not sure about the Genesis Mini 2, I kind of got fed up of the first one after playing about six games since a lot of the games were already available elsewhere.
I'm currently playing my Wii U but don't think the Gamepad itself was a good idea. Most of the games I play on a different controller and the Gamepad sits there unused. Playing for longer periods on the Gamepad gets uncomfortable too. I still love the Wii U though.
I really want Klonoa and Live A Live. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will be awesome but I still need to play 1 and 2 first. I put off playing them because they're so long but I'm missing out on some great games.
Looks more like to a PS1 game to me. Seems like you get the awkward camera controls thrown in for good measure. It's also too zoomed in and the character movement seems really slow. I can see this one being a bit boring.
I won't be buying because of the music changes. The main reason I wanted Origins collection was for Sonic 3 & Knuckles combined but I still have Sonic Mega Collection on the Gamecube with an adapter that allows me to play with a SNES controller so might play it that way.
Sonic & Knuckles 3 used to be available on Steam but I can't see it there anymore.
I enjoyed the first QUBE but haven't played the second yet. Was able to wing it with a few puzzles, I was sure I solved some puzzles in ways that weren't intended.
I'm painting my house at the moment so very busy. However I've purchased Kirby and the Forgotten Land as my reward so hopefully will get some time to play it.

There's me thinking they were going to add it Switch online expansion. Oh well.
Re: Face Tyranitar Or Salamence In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's Next Limited-Time Tera Raid Battle
I think with Sword and Shield they did repeat some events later down the line but not sure. Seems a bit early for a lot of players.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 3rd)
Splatoon 3, Ring Fit Adventure and just started Pokémon Scarlet, noticing bugs right from the get go unfortunately but we'll see how it goes.

I'm still finishing Legends Arceus but also plenty of Splatoon 3 this weekend, Ranked Battles and Salmon Run.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Are Out This Week, Which Version Are You Getting?
I went for Violet I think. Didn't put too much thought into it, just went on what colour I preferred because I haven't read up much about the games.

Fantasy Zone - awesome fun
Ristar - average
Hellfire - haven't played yet
Sonic CD - still undecided on what I think
Re: Sega Wants To Know What Mini Console Fans Would Like To See Next
Master System
Dreamcast
Saturn
The Master System was my first console, I remember Golden Axe Warrior which was similar to Zelda on the NES, really enjoyed it.
Re: Rating For 'Ghost Trick' Has Been Spotted In Korea
I can't find Ghost Trick on Android so hope it comes to Switch, otherwise it's £65 on the DS which is a bit pricey for me.

Re: Pilotwings 64's 'Birdman' Stage Is Significantly More Stressful On Switch
Hopefully they'll patch it, the birdman stages are supposed to be relaxing.

I remember enjoying Agent Under Fire and the Wii Remake of Goldeneye. I might check out some of the other games on the list as I'm intrigued now.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Gains Ground As Splatoon 3 Continues To Dominate
Congratulations Splatoon 3. Had great fun in the Splatfest at the weekend. I wonder if the new DLC and advertising has caused the increase in MK8 sales.
Re: Review: Jack Move - A Short, Sharp, And Utterly Gripping Cyberpunk RPG
Am liking this one and we've got plenty of longer RPGs available already so a shorter one is a good thing.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 3rd)
Pokemon Legends Arceus for me. Might play some Fire Emblem Birthright too.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pac-Man World: Re-Pac
I've played Pacman World 2 on the GameCube but not the first game so am interested in this one. Looks like it will be a fun 3D platformer.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 27th)
Splatfest for me. Also really enjoying Pokémon Legends Arceus and Fire Emblem Fates Birthright.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 3's First Splatfest Starts Today
Looking forward to this.
Re: UK Charts: Two Point Campus Drops Out Of Top Ten, Switch Sales Still Impress
@The_Pixel_King I've been thinking about Super Mario Odyssey 2 lately. It can't be that far away now.
Re: Poll: So, Wave Race 64 Or Blue Storm - Which Is Best?
Blue Storm for me, it felt more exciting. The first game had a bigger impact on me though as 3D gaming was new to me back then.
Re: Video: Bandai Namco Shares Pac-Man World Re-Pac Graphics Comparison
I like how both versions look, might buy this one later down the line when it comes down in price.
Re: Nintendo's Multiplayer Showdown Sale Ends This Weekend (Europe)
I've seen Warioware cheaper physically, got my copy for £25. I would like Monster Hunter Rise but don't think I have enough time to invest in the game.
Re: Watch: This 90-Minute Deep Dive Into Two Of The Most Underrated Zeldas Is Well Worth The Time
My problem with both games was having to play completely with the stylus. It got uncomfortable holding the DS a certain way after a while. They were still fun Zelda games though.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Sales Will End On The 3DS eShop In February 2023
@Sinton If you go into the game there's an option to download Revelation without starting the game.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Sales Will End On The 3DS eShop In February 2023
I haven't started playing the game but have purchased the Revelation DLC.

Theathrythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call on 3DS, I just love Final Fantasy music. Also playing Retro City Rampage on 3DS and my weekly work out on Ring Fit Adventure.
Re: SEGA Genesis Mini 2 Confirmed For North American Release This October
I want Story of Thor 2 (Beyond Oasis 2) but that was a Sega Saturn game so it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Not sure about the Genesis Mini 2, I kind of got fed up of the first one after playing about six games since a lot of the games were already available elsewhere.
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Are Back In Stock Now (UK)
Out of stock for me, I was a bit late though.
Re: Reggie Explains Why The Nintendo Wii U Didn't Utilise Dual GamePad Support
I'm currently playing my Wii U but don't think the Gamepad itself was a good idea. Most of the games I play on a different controller and the Gamepad sits there unused. Playing for longer periods on the Gamepad gets uncomfortable too. I still love the Wii U though.
Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Will Have 'Differences' In Performance On Switch
Looking forward to this one. In the original you had no control over when you summon creatures or who you summon, I hope this has been changed.
Re: Nintendo Is Adding Pokémon Puzzle League To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Pokémon Puzzle League is fun, I recommend it to anyone. Nice addition to the expansion pack.
Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In July 2022
I really want Klonoa and Live A Live. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will be awesome but I still need to play 1 and 2 first. I put off playing them because they're so long but I'm missing out on some great games.
Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion To Get A New Menu-Based Battle System
I still have the original. Well be nice to play Crisis Core using a proper analogue stick. On the PSP you have to use that little nub.
Re: Rejoice, The Wii Shop Channel And DSi Shop Are Finally Back Up
Wish I could buy a few virtual console games.
Re: Nostalgic N64-Inspired Platformer 'Frogun' Leaps Onto Switch In August

Re: Fall Guys Reaches 50 Million Players In Two Weeks Since Going Free-To-Play
Have downloaded it today and might play it later. I don't plan on spending any money but we'll see.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 2nd)
Kirby and the Forgotten Land for me, could well be my favourite Kirby game. Also Retro City Rampage on 3DS too.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Shows Off Cyber Space And Switch Gameplay In New Trailer
I'm glad about Cyber Space because although I like the look of the open world I still wanted the challenge stages to be there too.
Re: Here's How Sonic 3's New Music In Sonic Origins Stacks Up To The Classics
I won't be buying because of the music changes. The main reason I wanted Origins collection was for Sonic 3 & Knuckles combined but I still have Sonic Mega Collection on the Gamecube with an adapter that allows me to play with a SNES controller so might play it that way.
Sonic & Knuckles 3 used to be available on Steam but I can't see it there anymore.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 18th)
Am hoping to start Kirby and the Forgotten Land this weekend. Also playing some Retro City Rampage on 3DS which is pretty neat.
Re: Q.U.B.E 10th Anniversary Is A Rebuilt Version Of A Modern Classic Puzzler
