I didn't get lucky with MNS for a pre-order invite. Never really do, i did meet the critera they were asking for (2 years NSO, over 50 hrs play and have emails opted in). Even so, i think it was a lottery ala the Preview event and Alarmo, so hey ho. However, i have my Argos order secured (unless they monumentally screw up) and a back-up in the form of Amazon (they gave a 22 hour window from an invite link, which i locked in last weekend). Also managed to get a Pro controller, carry case and MicroSD Express ordered through ShopTo. Weird how the SD card is locked for those who've not pre-ordered a Switch 2 on MNS. I'm done for now, let the waiting game begin. -
Just got my Nintendo Store invite! So I'm going to cancel my Game Collection order to free that up for someone else. -
Batman Vengeance A darker justice must be served. NA release: 18th November 2001 EU release: 3rd May 2002 JP release: N/A Developer: Ubisoft Publisher: Ubisoft NGC Magazine Score: 70% Mods Used: Widescreen Code Batman Vengeance is a video game based on The New Batman Adventures, which is essentially season 3 of the classic Batman: The Animated Series, but with a new visual style to match the Superman TV show. By the time this game had come out, it had ended and had already been replaced with Batman Beyond, which previously had a terrible video game on the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation. On top of this, Batman Vengeance is its own story, and not an adaptation of an episode or film, which means that Ubisoft weren’t rushing to get the game out while the thing it was based on was still hot, which is something you can see help the game itself. While this is still a cheap game aimed at kids, it still features a nice visual style (which does make it hard to see things at times), as well as the original cast reprising their roles, including Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. There’s a mysterious kidnapping and The Joker is involved, with The Joker seemingly dying during the ensuing fight – although Batman believes that it’s a nefarious plot. The cutscenes are CGI (I think it’s a shame that they’re not animated in the style of the show), but the voice acting does elevate it, giving it a solid presentation all around. The gameplay is a bit clunky and basic, but enjoyable. Combat relies a lot on blocking with only a few attacks, and using gadgets requires going into a first person mode, which is rather fiddly. One annoying mechanic is that enemies get up again unless you handcuff them, and you have a very limited supply, so you really only want to handcuff people if there’s a button or switch nearby. Another aspect is stealth, which the game goes into detail about avoiding light and clinking to walls in the tutorial, but it’s not really useful at any point and is less effective than just running past enemies if you want to avoid a fight. There’s also no camera control other than pushing the C-stick left or right to reset the camera behind Batman, although that doesn’t in certain sections that use a set camera angle. There are a few additional parts, such as some vehicle levels involving the Batplane and Batmobile, with the Batmobile being a kind of quick time event. as you need to push L and R when arrows pop up in order to use the grapple to turn (miss one and it’s game over), and a few times you need to dive to catch people. They’re not good, but add a bit of variety. All in all, Batman Vengeance is a decent game, and for a game based on a licensed cartoon, that’s a pretty significant thing. Fine Remake or remaster? A spruced up re-release would be nice, but a more linear and shorter Batman game that looks like the classic cartoon would certainly be a great idea now. Official Ways to get the game There is no official way to play Batman: Vengeance. -

I take it you are downsizing your collection as well? -
I missed out on all the bundles going up the past couple of days but seeing The Game Collection have another round yesterday at least makes me think the standalone that I got an order in for earlier in the week is safe. Still pointlessly holding out for a MNS invite though.
