Isaac Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 They released a new patch for Doom and Doom 2 basically fixing all of the issues with the ports (slow music, incorrect lighting, stretched aspect ratio) and adding free extra content - Doom 1 owners get SIGIL, and Doom 2 owners get Final Doom and a few other .wads. Well worth trying out if you own the ports but haven't played them in a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryH Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Picked up Homo Machina whilst on sale. £2.23. Funny little game but enjoying lounging around playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keineboom Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Echoing the recommendation of Stories Untold. An absolutely ingenious and engaging narrative experience, one of the best I've played for sure. To say anymore would spoil things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeOfEarlsfield Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If I've pre-ordered (and downloaded) a game that launches on the eshop tomorrow, what time can I expect to be able to play it? And do I need to be connected to the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do I need to be connected to the internet? Not pre-ordered any games via the eShop myself, but from Nintendo Pre-order FAQ page : What happens when a game is pre-loaded? A non-playable version of the game will be pre-loaded to your system at the time of your order. You'll see an icon for the game on your HOME Menu, but you will not be able to launch the game until it is officially released. You'll be able to start playing after downloading a small update on the game's release date. (Please note that some third-party titles are not available until midnight CET on the game’s release date.) How do I get the software update that unlocks the game on the release date? As long as your Nintendo Switch console, Wii U console or Nintendo 3DS family system is connected to the internet, you will be prompted to download the update data once you launch the game. Additionally, if you have your console in standby or sleep mode and connected to the internet, the update data will download and install automatically. So looks like you download a small update to unlock the game and they are not providing any specific time, but I thought the eShop updates at 2pm BST.

DeciderVT Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Noticed the Joe and Mac games on sale for under £2 each. My only experience of them was seeing them on GamesMaster- worth checking out now or not worth playing in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Glands Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 First one is a fun, but basic coin gobbler. The chunky sprites impressed for the time, but it’s not a classic by any stretch of the imagination. I still bought it though. Worth a couple of quid but no more. Never played the sequel, but seems a different type of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasawas Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Which versions of Shinobi and Fantasy Zone is this we're getting today, arcade? Two series I'm interested in but only dabbled with very infrequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Thread Owner Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes, although there's a rumour the Master System Fantasy Zone is a hidden extra in it. It was in the 3D Classics too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Thread Owner Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Quote -So, can you tell us exactly what modes and functions are included in the Nintendo Switch version this time? Okunari: "Time Attack Mode" which was included in the " Fantasy Zone Complete Collection", which was released last in the PS2 version of the SEGA AGES2500 series, from the titles M2 was responsible for transplanting in the past (* 3) This sales point is that the revival of the 3DS version and the addition of all the elements, such as the 3DS version of “Upapapa Mode” and additional bosses (* 4) . ――The PS2 version of “Fantasy Zone Complete Collection” is nostalgic now. I purchased and played on the release date, but I'm very sorry to say this, but I have no memory of playing "Time Attack Mode" ... Koga: "Time Attack Mode" was included as a hidden element. Okunari: However, since the PS2 version was released in 2008, it has been more than 10 years ago, and as Mr. Horii said, we have completed all approaches with the 3DS version, so this time It is a version that has been brushed up with the elements that were included in the PS2 version. So, the director of M2, Koga, put together all of these elements. * 3: "Time Attack Mode": PS2 version "Fantasy Zone Complete Collection" can be played by entering a hidden command. A mode in which you compete for the time to clear 8 stages per lap. See official website for details * 4: "Upauppa Mode" and additional bosses: Elements added in the 3DS version "3D Fantasy Zone Opaopapa Brothers". The main feature is that you control the younger brother of the main character, Opaopa, and you can use all weapons without any restrictions while you have the money in hand. Additional bosses include Sega Mark III version 4 bosses, Ultra Super Big Maxim Great Strong Tot, and 6 bosses dz, deno roma, etc. that appear when certain conditions are met. So... sort of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grounded_dreams Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 A demo is now available for The Touryst, if you can't find it via the eShop on a browser (like I couldn't) the option is available when viewing the game page via the Switch itself on the eShop.

Fletch Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The Touryst was a great game, it's pretty short but really charming and a lot of fun despite 1 or 2 sections that are a little frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasawas Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I finished all the proper Picross and then bought Pictoquest in the sale without doing proper due diligence. Time limits? Fuck off. Raging at myself. I’m going to have to get that weird anime spin-off now and just hope they put out an S4 before I need to buy the other weird anime spinoff with the cat lassies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Andy Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I really enjoyed PictoQuest. Cycle through the enemies to stop them attacking. And save completing lines until they're ready to attack. I didn't need to use anything from my inventory the entire game. It's an interesting take on Picross and one that changes up how you think about completing the puzzles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdn2 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yeah, Pictoquest was good. It's a decent Picross diversion, but not as good as the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carleton Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I like Picross/Nonogram games so much that I wrote a C64 version. Adding a time limit sound like the worst thing anybody could ever do to the idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I’ve played a bit more and it’s OK provided you approach it as its own thing rather than what I wanted it to be. I think I’m just a bit disheartened to be struggling for comparable relaxing puzzle games after hundreds of hours of what I thought was perfection.

moosegrinder Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I've gone back to mop up the 3ds ones I've missed. Then there's the Sanrio one if I get desperate. S4 must be due soon. Must be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
