    Hope you got a pretty penny for it...

    Ebay Listing

    I did, though I basically got a little bit more than what I paid for it, which wasn't even half of what that listing went for.

    I'm sure I made back what I put into Neo Geo Pocket Color games at least, and these days I just own the console and a flash cart.

    I do have an Analogue Pocket, and I'm just waiting for that NGPC core to drop, there is some kind of beta version, but not the "official" core just yet.

    Or I could just buy the cartridge adapter, but at £50 - £70 + on eBay if someone is selling it on its own, or £200+ for the set... yeah, I might as well wait.

    The same for the dock at the moment which is nearly £200? I know it's cool and all, and it opens up other accessories and controller to be used, but... damn.

    The console was around £300 (for the limited edition transparent green model) so I'm reluctant to spend any more on the console at the moment, as it's still great as it is.

  2. I used to own the PAL version of Robotron 64... I think? Unless it was the PC version... one or the other, either way, not a bad game, but not very remarkable either.

    Although, this would probably do quite well today, as the gameplay doesn't seem to be that far removed from modern popular wave-based arcade games of the moment.

    As a digital download, put it on the Switch, £3... ??? Profit!

    I'd say put it on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack but the licensing could be an issue.

    Thanks to @Josh64 for the recently posted articles, which include...

    Seriously, thanks Josh for covering the news, it's appreciated and I'm grateful for any and all articles posted, it seems like it has been quite a week for both of us...

    Cover any Nintendo news which you feel is worth reporting as all of your articles are excellent, but take time for yourself whenever you need to. :smile:

    Wishing you all the best, man. :heart:

    See you next week! :peace: (all being well)

    Anyway, I take it no-one here is actually interested in playing Mario Kart 7 next week? Because so far, it only seems to be DCubed and me who are actually up for that?

    I mean... I still have my Nintendo 3DS XL, and my original copy of Mario Kart 7... so I could play it, I'd just need to switch the Wi-Fi on to play.

    How many players would make it worthwhile?


  5. Switch 2 needs to be backwards compatible.

    There are so many great games on it, plus there will be some Switch owners who are still on their original launch model console, which I'd imagine is still quite a high percentage, so it would be nice to upgrade to a Switch 2 before the original Switch fails, as I am starting to see signs that my launch model Switch is at least wearing out potentially, as the fans don't seem to switch on as much as they used to, coupled with games taking a bit of extra time to load.

    So for just having a potentially more reliable console that can play both exisiting software (with or without performance upgrades) and new software, would be appealing.

    Plus if the Joy-Cons are improved, that would nice, I haven't had to buy another pair of controllers since the console launched, but I haven't used them much either.

    While if the Switch 2 should launch either at the end of this year, or the start of the next year... I still wouldn't be too surpirsed if we didn't see it until 2026, as there are still people just now buying the original Switch, so it could have some ways to go yet... in which case, I just hope my launch model Switch will hold out for another... hundred or so sessions of Smash, Mario Kart and the occaisional NSO title, or random Switch game every now and then.
