I enjoyed the original game...for a while. Despite loving puzzle games I soon got bored of it.

And Nintendo NX (now known as the Switch) 'not a replacement for 3DS or Wii U' - https://www.wired.co.uk/article/nintendo-nx-not-wii-u-3ds-replacement

Yeah, right.

I created a bunch of Lego Animal Crossing BrickHeadz style characters a while back - https://rebrickable.com/mocs/?q=animal%20crossing%20iprice

@MagicEmperor

The Isometric game (where you protected the limo) could have Jungle Strike.

@ooyah - Could it be Don Doko Don? It sounds very similar, except you weren't a construction worker, more of a gnome/woodsman, but you did have a hammer/mallet. It was two player game and one player had a yellow hat/clothing. It was indeed very Bubble Bobble-esque. I loved that game

BTW I've got a pc game (possibly PD/Shareware (remember that?)) from about 25 years ago - it was like Bomberman, but with wizards. There were lizard monsters (IIRC) in a maze that the wizards used potions on to open remove walls and kill the lizards. Anyone?

@Samalik I know. I know. Hence the smiley face emoji. Do people not understand jokes anymore. Jeez.

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of 7 and it's never too soon for more Disgaea!

Disgaea 8?

Ready dude!

69. Everyone's fave number!

Seriously, it's sad that so many physical magazines have gone by the wayside over the years. I really miss a good number of them, including C&VG, GamesTM and the Mean Machine mags of yore to name just a few UK titles. I still subscribe to Edge and Retro Gamer, but I don't enjoy either title as much as I used to.

Egon Spengler stated that "Print is dead" way back in 1984. How right he was.

Hey!!! Lay off Milton Keynes. It's a lovely place. Well, except Fishermead. And the Lakes Estate. And all the roundabouts (actually, those are pretty cool). The concrete cows are a bit of a joke, but nobody talks about the lifesize concrete triceratops...

Anyway, yeah, Pikmin. Love them. Especially in salads!

For a game that's exclusive to just one format, Zelda has done incredibly well. It's hardly surprising that a multi-format game has knocked Zelda off the top spot, especially one that's beloved by pc owners, who's numbers are squillions of times more numerous than Switch. Then add on top PS5 and Xbox Whatever.

@invictus4000

Nah, there's Pikmin 4 too. I've been waiting for that game for a decade. Love the Pikmin games. Love Zelda, but the wait hasn't been quite as long and TBH BOTW could have been a completely new franchise for Nintendo - it's so far removed from the original Zelda games.

@Duncanballs

I was going to post something very similar - F***ing Cr@p

@NintendoByNature
Same here. I think they've done a cracking job with the characters.

@Freddyfred

I've been using some NYXI pads for the last 18+months. They've never let me down, unlike Nintendo's versions (terrible drifting issues).

I'd buy this pad in a heartbeat if I was a Smash fan (I'm not - it's all random button bashing to me!)

I love this series, despite its many ups and downs. There's nothing else like it (that I've found; if you know of something, then please let me know - any format).

BAN THIS FILTH!!!

Can we get Amiibo nudity glitches for other games. I'm asking for a friend!

Seriously, this is news?

Half Life 27 confirmed!

My son loves OverWatch but is often really p'd off with cheaters, so hopefully this will help.

If you're going to remake Space Harrier, at least make it better.

About time too.

Has anyone seen the Lego AC models on Rebrickable? - https://rebrickable.com/users/iprice/mocs/

So Yoshi is actually a fire-breathing dragon and not a dinosaur?

Oh, how the mighty has fallen.

@kupocake I hope not, as I still have my sealed Special Edition copy. I didn't buy it to sell (though I might at some point). I just never got around to actually playing it. I have (and love) the other Project Zero/Fatal Frame games on XBox and PS, so pre-ordered it on WiiU as soon as I could.

It would be simple to access the menu if my joycons didn't drift so much! When I'm over the setting the cursor jumps to the next... Ho Hum. I got there eventually. And the update didn't fix the drift at all.

I'm guessing that boxart will get a make-over if this title ever makes it out of Japan. Upskirting and showing pre-pubescent? kids? in bikinis probably wouldn't be deemed acceptable. And damned right too.

Remember the badge grabbing game on the 3DS? Or the capsule game from Smash Bros? I'd love those inside AC, with themed prizes (plushies, toys, mini-figs, furniture items etc). Machines could be set up in Nook's Cranny or Brewster's Cafe.

I'd also like Nookington's at some point (a larger Nook store from earlier AC games), so I can actually not buy more ugly furniture ans stuff!

@ObeseChihuahua2 As fellow AFOL, I'm currently building BrickHeadz of all the Animal Crossing major characters. I've got over 20 so far.

@Tim_Vreeland - Whatever. You knew what I meant (it was 2:00am after all).

@thiswaynow
Me too. I loved that game BITD

@link3710 They are the same company - LucasArts was renamed LucasFilm Games in 1990.

I was there when LucasFilm games started out and didn't rely on Star Wars; Rescue On Fractalus, The Eidolon, BallBlazers, the Monkey Island series, Maniac Mansion and the other SCUMM adventures etc. etc. etc. All awesome games BITD that really pushed the boundaries.

Not that this company has anything to do with those games though. It's like Atari - the name still exists but the designers, creators, coders, artists and co are looooooooong gone.

Watch as the CodeMasters team all leave, so all EA will have is a back catalogue of game names and none of the talent that made them.

That advert is crabsolutely mental!

@SlowPokemon

I love Picross and touchscreen is the most logical, immediate and intuitive way to play (IMHO).

But the devs for this series don't seem to see it like that. I'd love to know their reasoning.

So unless it's got touchscreen support, I won't buy it. I didn't buy the other S versions for the same reason. Shame, as I bought all their Picross games for DS/3DS.

I've created my own Picross games (for pc and mobile/handheld devices) in the past and it really is a doddle to add touchscreen support. It doesn't have to be touchscreen only, just have that as an additional control method. It's less than 10 minutes coding.

Fingers crossed that they finally adopt it for this next version.

@fafonio He's more an anal cyst than analyst.

11/15. I'm OK with that.

@Marioman2020

It should be 1-2-Free!

Nintendogs & Cats & Fish

Mine arrived on Saturday, but not actually opened it up (I opened the box, but not the wrapped bag).

It's working today in the UK.

That price may seem high now, but wait until it retires in a year. Prices will skyrocket. Lego is expensive, but it holds its value and then some. Some Star Wars and modular sets go for huge sums nowadays.

If it's not a new "Mario Golf" golf game, I don't care!

@Mynameishello I said that to my son last night. It's definitely faster.

@Crimson_Ridley At some point they've got to can this feature. It really is a waste of everyone's time.

There are some games I just can't play becaue of joycon-drift. It's more than just a tad annoying.

@Kawaiipikachu I've refused to buy any of the Switch offerings because of no touchscreen support. To me it's the most natural way to play Picross. I bought all the Jupiter Picross games on DS and 3DS. And it's so easy to implement touchscreen too (I've written loads of pc, console and mobile games where touchscreen is implemented, including several Picross games). It doesn't have to be touchscreen only, but why lose sale for not including it as an option?

I wanted swimming and diving to return, but my land currently has shedloads of sharks...

You know it makes sense!

@ObsidianEleven Thankyou. Finger crossed
