Don't know why they ask Doug about these timed limited releases. He doesn't really have a say in the matter. Now if they asked the higher ups in Nintendo Japan they might get a proper answer.
I've won a bunch of times and feel no incentive to keep playing. All you get are coins and icons, which kinda sucks. If you unlocked new characters or powerups or something then I might be more interested in playing, but as it is now I guess I don't care about beating other people in Mario.
@MaXX5000 I ended up pre ordering them from playasia and they were expensive as (~$200 AUD). I checked the Australian Nintendo site and they reckon they're going to sell the collectors edition with the Magnamalo amiibo, but they don't mention any specific place to get it from.
I want to get the version with the game gear micro, but when play asia had it up it cost more than an xbox series s. Hopefully other places will sell it for closer to the rrp.
I really enjoyed this game. It's world and controls were excellent. If they make a longer sequel with more islands or something, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
This direct was great. I bought Raji and A Short Hike today, and I'm hyped for Hades and Card Shark. I beat A Short Hike today. The movement in that game is satisfying, and the world has plenty of things to do and secrets to find. I highly recommend it even though it's a short game. Going to start Raji tomorrow.
I'm on chapter 2 at the moment and I've had a couple of glitches happen where you're unable to run, skateboard or shoot weapons. Last time it happened to me was just after I killed a crocodile at a mansion that was far from town. Going into a building fixes it though. I'm just glad they added fast travel to this one.
It is the fate of all things that DOOM 64 will cost £3.99. No amount of sales can change that. All we can do is be thankful that DOOM 64 will cost £3.99.
I would like the players from Metal Slug to be in smash. They have plenty of weapons to choose from with guns, knives, and grenades. The final smash could be a Metal Slug. The stage could be the Pyramid level and at the end there's a climbing segment where the stage boss could fire a huge laser and chase you up the stage.
The vertical box art of the japanese one puts me off, but I do like the different artwork. The artwork on the North American one is way too close to the left and looks like some of it's cropped off. My pick is the Pal version due to the location of the artwork and the blue box.
I got it before the takedown and in Hotline Miami 2 there's an option to skip any scenes depicting sexual violence. I don't get why they don't have locked on for the Australian version if that's the only problem?

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #64 - International Superstar Soccer 98
Is that Bubsy on the Japanese cover?
Anyway since I don't know anything about Soccer, I'll pick the one with Jablinski on the cover.

Now if they had a new NES/SNES Remix...

So will they be available in Australia?

It'd be good if they made it free for switch online owners like they did for ps plus owners.

I want the 8BitDo one. Been using SN30 Pro for GTA SA and the only annoying thing is that ABXY is swapped around.

Re: Sega Open To Reviving Sonic's 1993 Arcade Game, But Needs Your Support
Never pay money to someone for something they "might" do.
Might as well download it and play it on MAME if they're gonna pull this crap. Just map the controls and you're set.

I like the orange one. It's like a little Jack'O lantern. That and the ergonomics look good.

The c-stick is wrong. It should be pointed at the top, bottom, left, right and diagonals, not flat.
