I pre-ordered my physical copy just fine. Am hoping nobody buys from the scalpers, you might as well buy it digitally first and have the physical copy later which would still be cheaper.
I really enjoyed the Wii version but didn't like having to play it with the Wii remote sideways so the Switch version will be better for me. Am not getting it right away though because I've already pre-ordered Metroid Prime Remastered physical.
I'm getting close to finishing Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright on 3DS. Also some Fire Emblem Fates as I need to get to chapter 6 to get the DLC before the eShop closes. I will miss out on DLC for some other games but perhaps I should've played them years ago.
Still playing Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright on the 3DS, might play some Pokémon Scarlet too as the music is playing in my head. Happy gaming everyone.
Splatoon 3, Ring Fit Adventure and checking out the new Mario Kart 8 tracks since I've finally got my internet working again. Also playing some Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright on 3DS which is fun, would be a good idea to port it to the Switch.
I tend to cycle through the Donkey Kong Country games, Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby and Sonic series of games. I also love to revisit Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo Kazooie on the N64.
Happy New Year everyone. Really looking forward to Pikmin 4. Would say Tears of the Kingdom but I still have more to do in Breath of the Wild. Can't believe how long the Switch has been out for and there's another Nintendo console on the horizon.
I've got bored with Pokémon Scarlet despite being right near the end so am going to start Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright so I can get the free DLC before the 3DS eShop closes in March.
I've been playing Pokémon Scarlet but having trouble getting into it. Besides the performance issues the open world seems a little bland and after playing Legends Arceus this feels like a downgrade. Will keep going to see how I get on.
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.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 18th)
@PepperMintRex In the new Theathrhythm game does it have the field stages from the 3DS or are they all battle stages?
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
@Oppyz666 Some cool choices there.
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
Diddy Kong Racing is my most wanted but all of them would be great to have on NSO.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 7th)
@Expa0 I remember the lightning dodging quest, that was so annoying. In the end I completed it by muting my TV.

Re: Atlus Remembers N64 Classic Snowboard Kids On Its 25th Anniversary
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.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 19th)
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.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 5th)
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
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.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 15th)

Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
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.

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 17th)
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.

Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Game Ranked
@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.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th September (Europe)

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.

@Sinton If you go into the game there's an option to download Revelation without starting the game.

Re: SEGA Genesis Mini 2 Confirmed For North American Release This October
