  1. Playstation 5 Console Discussion

    Maybe Baldurs Gate 3? Supposed to be very good, but it's not a PS exclusive. Depends on whether you already have a next gen console or a good PC. As below, RPGs aren't really my thing so doesn't really interest me. Sorry, I had a power cut last night just as I was going to reply to you. While I enjoyed FF7 Remake, I'm not really into my RPGs so it's not a system seller for me. Probably hold off until Nintendo have revealed the Switch U then make a decision then but by then Sony will have probably revealed the PS5 Pro and I'll be back to square one on whether to pull the trigger or not.
  2. Playstation 5 Console Discussion

    I'm trying to justify buying a Playstation 5 but like the Switch for many many many years, until there is at least 5 games I want to play on it, I can't. I can only think of 3 games I want for it. Spider-man 2, Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Robocop Rogue City. Am I missing any? Note: I have God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon: Forbidden West & Spider-man: Miles Morales on the PS4. No interest in the Last of Us remakes / remasters.
  3. The Star Wars Thread

    Grogu ruined Season 3 for me. They just shoehorn him into everything and I'm just bored of the character. Season 2 ended perfectly but nope, they had to find a way to have him there at the beginning of Season 3. Not sure this is the solution to Lucasfilm / Disney's problems. I think it'll end up doing similar numbers to what Solo did.
  4. Your Gaming Diary 2023

    Finished Metroid Zero Mission today. Been playing it at work on my GBASP during my lunch breaks for the last week or so. Never played it before but heard good things about it. I really enjoyed it, solid graphics, incredible music and challenging bosses. Loved the zero suit level at the end. I Decided to play this as I bought Metroid Dread the other week for Christmas among other games and thought best to have recently played a 2D metroid game beforehand Got an everdrive for my GBA so if anyone has any recommendations for my next lunch break game, let me know.
  5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

    Squeaky Clean Sprint & Yoshi's Island tracks, weren't these developed first for the MK8 DLC and then ported to Tour? I like those 2 as they feel like Mario Kart tracks unlike the Tour city based ones which just seem out of place in MK8. Ninja Hideaway is probably the best original Tour course ported to MK8.
  6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

    The Wii tracks might not be the high point of the series but they are certainly better than the Tour tracks. God I hate them. I know you guys love them going by how often they get picked but I just find them a chore to play.
  7. Super Mario Bros. Wonder (20th October 2023)

    This is £37.49 with the code WONDER25 at Currys Just got mine pre-ordered
  8. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Finished it last night, 120 hours well spent. Final boss fight was pretty epic. Really enjoyed it but I definitely need to have a break from open world games as I got the platinum on Forbidden West just before playing this but then I picked up GTA 5 on the PS4 for 10p last month and I can't just let it sit on the shelf. The shrines became an obsession with me ending up finding them all and not once using the item *no spoilers* I got for finding them all. First Zelda game I think where I maxed out my health. Pretty proud of that accomplishment.

  10. General Retro Discussion

    So I bought this joblot earlier this afternoon for £90 off facebook marketplace. I did not know about the Grape Purple N64 until he passed me the bags as he only mentioned it having an N64 and controllers without including any of them in the photos. Most of the N64 boxes are in fantastic condition as they had been stored flatpacked. Only 1 internal tray sadly but a few come with cartridge trays as part of the box. That is an authentic pokemon yellow, red (no cover) and the NTSC version of Crystal which i thought was a fake. I am still taking it all in.
  11. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    Good job I checked, I'd of just assumed it was players choice otherwise.
  12. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

    Is anyone concerned that with Nintendo throwing everything at Mario Kart 8 basically making it the ultimate version of Mario Kart with the amount of characters and courses available that it's going to be difficult to top it with 9. I mean, after the last DLC waves have hit, how many retro tracks will be left unused that could be included in 9 and feel fresh? Will they even include retro courses in 9 due to 8 using so many as DLC.

    Missed opportunity not having everyone pick Birdo @Glen-i
  14. ShopTo have it up for pre-order for £49.85
  15. Wii U 10 Year Anniversary

    Only seems like yesterday I pre-ordered the Zombiu Wii U bundle from ShopTo. I was so hyped for it coming off the back of the Wii which I'd had 6 amazing years with. A full week booked off for it's launch. The launch lineup was pretty solid. I had New Super Mario Bros U, Black Ops 2, NintendoLand and obviously ZombiU all around launch. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate followed not long after and was another solid title which I put hundreds of hours into. Two third party titles (Black Ops 2 and MH3 Ultimate) with voice chat and a solid online system at launch, who would have thought. @Hero-of-Time regarding the gamepad being on charge causing a loud buzzing noise through the headsets, that was when anyone charged their gamepad and it was never fixed. That's where the problems started though, the launch window was great but then huge gaps in the release window started appearing. Mario Kart 8 was incredible and the highlight of the Wii U for me. I remember the first week of the N-E Mario Kart League where we had over 40 players signed up. Organising that first league night with 4 different hosts was hard work but very rewarding when all the results starting coming in. Unfortunately with 3rd party support completely drying up and with me now really in the mood to play more online multiplayer games after COD and MH, it pushed me towards getting a PS4 and that was the end of the Wii U being my console of choice that gen. The Wii U ended up putting me off getting a Switch until a good 5 years after it's launch. Now I have a Switch, I kinda regret holding off as long as I did but Nintendo and the Wii U let me down in a big way.
  16. General Retro Discussion

    Missed out on a gaming job lot on Facebook marketplace yesterday morning which I was a bit annoyed about as sitting right in the middle of it all was Banjo-Tooie... Anyway, as I do, I was searching for N64 stuff later in the afternoon and there it is. Messaged him offering £30 which he came back with "£35?" but something seemed off , that's not the PAL version cover. Is it a repro? No, it's the Australian version. I messaged him again telling him it wasn't the UK PAL version but the Australian version and I was still interested but not at £30. Offered him £25 and he accepted. He ended up inviting me in to look at all the games & consoles he got for £140. N64, Dreamcast, PS2 slim and a few £15-20 black label PS1 games in fantastic condition. Just finished off making a custom box and insert for it. Probably redo it at some point in the future as I'm not really happy with it but it'll do for now.
  17. General Retro Discussion

    Beatties was fantastic, they had this massive action force vehicle playset in the window. I wanted it but it way too expensive for my parents. They opened a second store focused on games called Virtual Reality next door to it in Meadowhall. Had a huge VR machine right in the middle, obviously with the name of the store. Best memory I have of Beatties is everyone (kids and parents) opening up the mini boglins boxes and swapping them around so they didn't get any doubles. Good times and the staff didn't seem to mind.
  18. General Retro Discussion

    I've gone on a bit of a spending spree on eBay over the last couple of weeks to slowly rebuild my N64 collection. 4 of my favorite N64 games now back in my possession. There's so many more I want to buy but I'm going to hold off and buy a couple every 2-3 months. I also bought 20 empty mega drive/master system cases off eBay as well for the loose master system games that I bought earlier in the year. Printed a few covers off and I think they look pretty good on the shelf. Not as good quality as the original cases or the universal game cases but they do the job.
  19. Couldn't find a thread so sorry if one exists. Gameplay footage of AEW Fight Forever debuted at Gamescom. For 20+ years I've waited for a wrestling game to match up to the legendary No Mercy and the other AKI wrestling games. The wait might be over judging by this.
  20. They interviewed someone from THQ who said it would have a deep career mode. I'd imagine the career mode will be very similar to No Mercy based on what we've seen so far.
  21. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    Thanks but I don't go on here enough to see it. I'll remember!
  22. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    If only. It's getting a little better, I did rob a train last night. That was fun.
  23. N-E Mario Kart 8 DX Get Together

    I'll try my best to attend this Thursday. I keep forgetting....
  24. Mario Strikers: Battle League Football

    A bit too gimmicky for me. It's too hectic and I've never been a fan of the unstoppable power moves in mario sports games. If I bought it, I'd be buying it for regular 4 player N-E action and unfortunately the N-E online community is nowhere as strong as it was during the Wii/Wii U days. Also, with the lack of voice chat to communicate with your teammates, you lose a big part of the online experience so I'll be giving this a miss. I didn't have any issues during the online games. I've been very surprised by how good the online experience has been on the Switch so far.
