Then after all that... harass Nintendo and whomever until we get a new Tetris Attack (Planet Puzzle League, Panel De Pon)

In case anyone hasn’t tried out snes online yet I wrote up this piece about it.

Agree with most of that, particularly about the two sports games not ageing particularly well! Have to add though, I’m not too pleased with the picture quality of the Super NES games. I like having scan lines, but the ‘TV mode’ filter just softens the image too much down to a mushy picture. I’d prefer an option for sharper visuals worn scan lines, as on Hamster’s Arcade Archives games.

Link’s Awakening preloaded, Goose game this week, River City Girls still being played and only 10 hours into Astral Chain.

 

Best console.

[Keyboard Koala]

I suppose this will be exciting to only a few forumites, but In The Hunt has been announced as one of the upcoming games in the arcade archives series for the Switch.

 

 

Oh yeah!!

[Quest]

Fantastic news. 

[Yasawas]

Dream Course is the best Kirby game. Fight me.

[Flub]

Where's my damn Bubble Bobble Hamster?

[MW_Jimmy]

Kirby Super Star 8 games in one!

It's not the best. It isn't a Metroidvania. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror however, is.

Just swapped my full 128GB SD for a 512 - Zelda was the last straw

 

Glad the process is easier than it was on the 3DS, especially on a Mac.

Metal Sea Slug!!

[Keyboard Koala]

Hopefully we'll get GunForce II (ie. Metal Slug's direct ancestor) as well at some point.

Is it?! Right I'm interested now.

Not just September, but literally the same day as Dragon Quest XI. Ok then!

 

Switch is going to become the ultimate Dragon Quest machine, I think. DQs IV to IX next, please.

Switch is the ultimate machine.

 

Fixed for you

[Keyboard Koala]

Yeah, looks like you'll be able to have the entire history of (Japanese) videogames on the Switch. A stretch of course but sill; arcade classics, SNES and NES classics on top of all the amazing Switch games.

Brilliant!!

 

If only they'd release Elevator Action Returns.

Jad the Taff 4EVR!!!

 

Best name for a video game character. Almost was going to be my forum name.

I always assumed he was from Wales, but turns out it's just a mistranslation of 'tough'.

[mogawoods]

A Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2 collection has appeared on the eshop now for £40. It's been delayed from its original release date in the September crush, sensibly. Except ... it's now coming out on 15 October, the same day as The Witcher 3 and Overwatch. 

 

I was hoping they'd let us buy them separately as I only want BG2. Oh well.

[moosegrinder]

My drifting joycon that was repaired by Nintendo is not fixed 

[scottcr]

Yay. Yoshi’s Crafted World for 29 quid on eBay. Playing Island on the SNES made me desperately want it.

[sandman]

Is anyone aware of Super Rare Games? They make limited physical copies of downloadable games. Does anyone have any?

It's good but it's not Yoshi's Island snes good. Then again precious little ever is.

[Yasawas]

I've got a load of them. It's like a pension but I can play them while I wait to get old. 

 

Last I checked Human Fall Flat was going for about £100 at CEX. Daft. 

[Oh Danny Boy]

On that note has anyone used Limited run games? They seem to have a lot of bad feedback

I know... it just put me right in the mood but I wasn’t going to pay 45-50 quid for it

It’s definitely close. Best 2.5D platformer I’ve played and easily the best Yoshi game since Island. Some very inventive level design and boss encounters thanks the craft concept.
