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.
Will be getting Violet now I've seen the legendaries. I had a lot of fun Sword so this is a no brainer for me. I just really enjoy Pokémon games despite the flaws, hopefully the frame rate doesn't dip though.
I might be getting this day one. Not sure about the new look but once I start playing the game I don't think it will matter. Would be nice if they do the GBA games too.
By the way the music in that trailer was very annoying.
I want one to collect but don't think I'll even take it out of the box. Although didn't realise you had to have the expansion pack so not be sure if I'll buy now.
Looks like it belongs on the 3DS with going between the foreground and background (obviously not going to happen). Am still interested even though the art style doesn't appeal to me personally.
They might use Twilight Princess or Wind Waker HD to cover the gap after BOTW 2 since there's going to be a long time before another big Zelda game gets released after that.
I'm playing Crash Bandicoot 2 from the N Sane Trilogy. Almost done and will get all the gems but won't be bothering with the time trials as it can get really frustrating going for the platinums.
Also have Trine 2 on Wii U to finish which is a beautiful and fun game.
I'm playing Trine 2 on Wii U, great game and the gamepad is very handy for accurately drawing boxes with the magician. After that I might try Axiom Verge.
Just got the Kirby theme on Tetris 99, am tempted to go and buy Kirby and the Forgotten Land now. I plan on starting Final Fantasy 13 on the PS3 though since I haven't played it before.
Have just done my weekend workout on Ring Fit Adventure. Playing Steamworld Dig on Wii U, it's pretty addictive. If I finish it's a choice between Axiom Verge and Trine 2: Directors Cut.
My pre order got cancelled and I haven't bothered to try again because I'm in the middle of another game so happy to wait. Looks like a fun game though and I was getting tired of the 2D Kirby games.
@Donutsavant I'm really enjoying Darksiders. I see what you mean about the Zelda-esque dungeons and yet it's a very different game that does it's own thing. I already have Darksiders 2 in my backlog so will be playing that too. Glad I discovered the series.
I'm going to try out the new tracks on Mario Kart 8. Also playing Darksiders Warmaster Edition on Wii U which is surprisingly decent, although some people say it's like Zelda I think it's very different to Zelda.
I take it from the video you can't rewind N64 games but you can for Genesis games.
I'm becoming more interested in the expansion as time goes on but would like some more unique titles we haven't seen before like Goemon. Diddy Kong Racing would sell it for me. Alien Soldier on Genesis was a step in the right direction.
@Rosona I don't want to get LA just yet because I've only recently finished Brilliant Diamond and fancy a break from monster catching. Have moved to playing my Wii U for now. Will probably get Legends Arceus later in the year but for now I'm all Pokemoned out.
Won't be getting Arceus as I wanted to wait a while before playing another Pokemon game after recently finishing Brilliant Diamond. Maybe we'll get another chance at some point.
I seem to alternate between the Fire and Water types. Am not a fan of grass types although my very first starter was Bulbasaur from Pokemon Blue all those years ago.
Am hoping it looks different to Sword/Shield and Legends Arceus. One thing I'm worried about us they could all start looking too similar on the overworld.
I did enjoy Sword and Shield but there's a lot that could've been improved on. Will be interesting to see what the next mainline entry looks like after Arceus.

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.

Pokémon Puzzle League is fun, I recommend it to anyone. Nice addition to the expansion pack.

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: 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: What Course Are You Most Excited About In The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 1 DLC? Nintendo Wants To Know
@mariomaster96 I'm wondering if a lot of us haven't played Mario Kart Tour and that's why there's less votes, am looking forward to trying it out.
Re: What Course Are You Most Excited About In The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 1 DLC? Nintendo Wants To Know
I chose Sky Garden. Although I'm looking forward to Maple Treeway as that's one of my favourites.
