Burnout and Need For Speed are all the Criterion collection anyone could need.

I have one too (can't remember which model specifically) and it's been well worth it for 2D games and/ or 2-player games instead of the drifty joy-cons. Just can be a bit finicky to get it synched sometimes but once I'm gaming it feels good, especially with the NES and SNES games on Switch. Replayed Mario World 12 or so months ago and unsurprisingly, it holds up to this day. Only needed a few levels to get used to the screen scroll and weight and feel of Mario and then I was back into it. Finished with 94 exits though. Sloppy.

Don't forget about the May Day Tour if you're yet to do it this year and still plan on doing so.

Meaningless post of the day... posted.

Lure us in with Sonic then sidestep to Billy Hatcher, eh. Probably from Sonic R or something but I'll guess that it's... a character from Dual Heroes.

Finished this off 100% in Rememberance and Destruction. I think I amassed around 85% in the other section, the info/story notes. So there's stuff to go back for (and no missables as I was worried about at the beginning). Some animé moments aside (i.e. can we get these kids some clothes!), this was a top game overall. It pulls in basically everything you can think of from decades of the story genre and puts its own spin on all that material. Really good stuff and well thought out with twists, turns and revelations aplenty to keep you wondering just how far they are going to take it. The way you can go through a lot of it in the order of your choosing means twists will vary between players depending on when you're exposed to certain storylines. Obviously, the story (Rememberance) can be enjoyed at your leisure and that is the case by and large for Destruction mode too, however, out of all the missions, there were two I had to retry and go out of my way to spend stat points on. First, Area 3-2 or 3-3 I got overwhelmed out of nowhere before waltzing onwards to the finale which I also had to retry a fair number of times. Before my winning attempt, I ended up spending all my points and even then just scraped through with ~10% terminal defence remaining. So it'll keep you on your toes. Anyone looking for a change of pace would do well to add this to their collection.

Apparently "Real Madrid doesn't play finals, they win them" so it's a foregone conclusion.

Tell me how much the AW 1+2: Re-Boot Camp delay is expected to impact Nintendo's sales forecast without telling me how much the AW 1+2: Re-Boot Camp delay is expected to impact Nintendo's sales forecast.

This game does not disappoint. LOL.

Noodles stir-fried in sauce, enfolded in sweetened bread... he doesn't trust much in this post-war world... but if there's one exception it's his yakisoba pan. Yup, I've seen a couple of storylines to the end now and I've circled back to yakisoba pan guy again. Hoping he gets to chow down in every chapter.

I went all-in like that with Yangus and the others but didn't know what to specialise in with the Hero either.

What skills did you end up investing points in?

Twinbee! Good lad, @Julius! I got Pokémon Yellow and Crystal when they came out on the 3DS VC (had Red and Gold) if that helps with your deliberations. Also double-dipped on Pokémon TGC. It's good stuff and definitely worth a look if you think it might be your kind of bag. You won't go too wrong with most of those titles you've listed.

Will do nicely.

146. I can open up almost any time if you give me a little bit of notice... or you can hold out for @punio75!

Say no more, say no more. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

Various smaller games have come and gone. Theatrhythm is back on sale for anyone interested. Pfff, not even 720p? The Wii U is a joke. 89p is the price you have to pay for 3D.

115 this morning.

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is currently 89p.

This post has aged well. K9, Karim the dream, whatever you wanna call him, Pep's gonna have to reconsider if going Brazil vs Brazil in the blind hope of edging this 10-9 on aggregate will work out. Would maybe rather go down all guns a-blazing instead of overthink it and end up on the wrong side of a tonking. Bloomin 'eck.

Sounds like DQ VIII has been keeping your spirits high? Love it. Great game. The only thing I can say against it is the same "negative" I have for OoT 3DS (so it's in good company): as fantastic as it is to have such a grand adventure on handheld, it can feel a bit pokey on the small screen. Other than that it's one of the best and I wouldn't not want it on 3DS.

The battle portion seemed to be shaping up as a bit of a token gesture thrown in to break up Rememberance (the dialogue). That was until enemy Gladiator units came along and broke my string of S ranks in style with a D! Looks like a smidge of thought and positioning is going to be beneficial rather than just kicking back and unleashing barrages of missiles at every opportunity... as satisfying as that's been.

Doesn't matter what party members you opt for, just make sure you don't forget to look after Munchie!
