Love the type-in listing. Including issue 1 is great too, never read any of the original RG.

Congratulations!

Like I say, a sending off was harsh, but it wasnt a good challenge.

You're right - it wasn't a good challenge, it was a fucking tremendous challenge. If anything it's a foul by the Leeds player who goes in just as strongly but doesn't get the ball. But as hulk says, the ref and linesman were spineless cowards who don't understand the game and shouldn't be in charge of games at this level. It doesn't matter if it looked bad from the dugout, the linesman who is only a few yards from play should see it's a clean challenge and let play go on. Also the ref didn't call the foul, but then took his linesman's opinion. Let's remember that linesmen are linesmen because they're too shit to be refs! When stupid shit like this completely changes a game (and let's face it, only Forest were going to win before the red card) then officials can just fuck right off, and FIFA can just fuck right off too for refusing technology in the game. A replay would have took 10 seconds and not ruined the game.

So much for relaxing and enjoying the rest of the season...

EDIT: Oof, a neg for this post. A flash of red with no justification - is that you, Mr Halsey?

EDIT: More negs without bothering to discuss. Is this still a forum?

Oh and I got 6 street passes today!!!

Saw a guy in KFC playing on his 3DS and I tapped on the glass to get his attention, showed him my 3DS and he gave me a massive smile of thanks.

Street Pass is amaze.

Massive smile of thanks, or massive smile of 'WTF, why is this middle-aged bloke pointing at me and grinning like a loon?'

I'm not getting this Street Pass thing

Well we're at least staying up this season, Sheff Utd can't catch us now.

Is our new training complex a deathtrap?

Better then a d-pad

An analogue stick is not better than a d-pad for digital movement. Obviously.

Looks great, I had so much fun with NSS3, err.. didn't actually realise you made NSS4, and am now hugely looking forward to NSS5

Demo soon?

Just had a thought..... Space Harrier. Please Sega make it so

Yes please, a Sega Ages re-release with Space Harrier, Out Run and After Burner would be amazing in 3d. If they feel like getting carried away then Galaxy Force II, Enduro Racer, Super Hang On etc. would all be welcome.

What's Sumo Digital up to on 3DS?

It's really not very Strider-like though, apart from hanging off ledges. It plays more like an arena fighter than a side-scrolling action game. Run Saber and Cannon Dancer/Osman are still the best Strider-a-likes.

Yes, NullDC runs it perfectly - However if you're playing Powerstone 2, it has to be set to 50Hz to run.

The NTSC version runs ok though, doesn't it? Did last time I tried.

I thought I was a bit of both, until I got stuck deep into a C64 emulator and realised the games I played as a kid had so much more appeal, even if they're relatively a bit rubbish.

1. QPR

2. Swansea

3. Cardiff

4. Norwich

5. Burnley

6. Leeds

(7. Hull)

(8. Nottingham Forest)

22. Crystal Palace

23. Preston

24. Scunthorpe

Agree with that, except Palace will keep Sheff Utd at bay.

The 'looking through' rather than 'at' the screen is a good tip too if the 3D ever seems too much. Or, in Pilotwings, focussing overtly on the horizon rather than trying to take in the whole image at once.

True, it's because most people are used to looking at everything on a 2d screen at once, whereas in 3d (as in real life) you can't focus on everything, you need to pick one thing and then shift focus between objects. Once that clicks, the 3d all falls into place. People who recommend reducing the 3d slider perhaps aren't doing this, and therefore aren't getting the full effect.

The 3DS is the very first console I've bought on launchday, I've always had more patience in the past!

I got an import N64 as soon as they sorted out the RGB mod, but that wasn't quite at launch. I bought a US Dreamcast maybe a month after release, but that's it really.

I fear most people who play retro games tend to dabble. I'd love to find an old game I can really sink my teeth into but with so much about it's too easy to get distracted.

Quite the opposite with me, I've got so many retro games to keep me occupied I very rarely touch any new stuff. Only the 3DS has interrupted that recently.

Name any 8-bit or 16-bit shmup and I probably still play it

He has to be better than most of our current strikers, no? I think I'm better than most of our current strikers.

The one thing I am looking forward to is the introduction of findley.

Same here, hopefully he's not too injury-prone and we get to see the best of him. Is he due back before the end of the league season?

Rayman 2's just as charming, particularly the Dreamcast version.

It's a bit silly that this is being marked down in reviews becauses it reuses a location from a game ON A DIFFERENT FORMAT.

This is ripe for some DLC, the N64 locations would be perfect.

Pretty sure the PSP one is 30, yeah.

Nah, it was definitely 60fps. Compare it to either PSP Burnout, which ran at 30fps.

PSP RR is 30fps, too.

Nah, both PSP games were 60fps. DS Ridge was 30fps.

Tbh I never noticed it, it moves just as fast as the previous ridge racers (im including the console ones here as well) and gameplay wise its pretty much the same. As for the 3D effect, out of all of the titles I have tried (Ridge, Pilotwings and SSF4) I would say that RR3D is by far the most impressive and one game I wouldnt want to not play in 3D.

That's good to hear, so is the 30fps not so noticeable in SSF4 either? Racers and fighters are two games I usually prefer to be 60fps, but maybe in 3d that's not so important.

So this is 30fps, is that noticeable compared to say the PSP Ridges? Is the 3d effect decent compensation? Odd how 60fps isn't available in 2d mode, as in SSF4.

I intend to get this when it dropsmin price a bit. Loved it on the DC and fancy playing it through again...

Same here, it's certainly an underrated game and the DC version is the best.

I'd prefer a 3D popout version of Rayman 1 with all those extra levels from the Gold edition included...

(And maybe a level editor...)

Really? The first game's nice but nothing special, unlike the sequel.

That weird scanline crash has happened a few times now. This is going to turn out to be a 'thing' isn't it.

It's bound to be fixed in a firmware update.

It's got a really dodgy control scheme that sees you using the remote and nunchuck like handlebars, twisting the remote like a throttle for a burst of acceleration, which inevitably results in you turning the handlebars and smashing into the rocks. If your only reason to get WSR is the jetski minigame then I wouldn't bother, but some of the other sports are a lot of fun, especially if you have friends. Or so I hear anyway. Sob.

No, I just checked it out on YouTube. Does look hard to control, but the fact it exists means a Wave Race 3DS is more likely than I thought, which has me foaming at the mouth slightly. As long as it has traditional analogue controls of course.

I want old skool

If it means we get Wave Race 3DS in some form, then I'm happy. Even if it's 'Wave Race Resort'.
