Yeah but... there's no chance it'll... ...actually be... exactly... 28 minutes. *finishes watching the Direct at 15:28* I swear it was just a guess!

Probably around 28 minutes. (I don't actually know, this is just a guess based on previous directs)

OK then... "On the subject of the reviewer though, that's pretty bad form on their part."

Well, one thing is for certain... the Easy Allies review definitely isn't compromised! On the subject of the IGN review though, that's pretty bad form on their part.

*nods* *sighs* *cancels pre-order* Reason - "Other" "I refuse to be dictated to by Activision on the subject of how I'm "allowed" to consume the games I own once paid for, all games on the disc(s) or no sale. But what does one cancelled pre-order matter in the grand scheme of things?" I guess that'll do for now, maybe I'll pick it up somewhere down the line, maybe I won't, maybe I'll just pick up the originals before the price goes up even higher... ...or maybe I just won't bother playing Spyro afterall. It's a shame as I believe that Toys for Bob aren't at fault here and have done their best but ultimately... fuck Activision.

Also worth noting that I pre-ordered the physical version of this game on the strength of @Mr-Paul's fine review. It's £20 on Shopto for either the Switch or PS4 version, I know it's £8 more than the eShop but... that boxart. I missed out on this one during the Wii U era.

Yeah... I don't know what I was thinking when I pre-ordered on the Nintendo Store. I just checked on ShopTo and I have it pre-ordered already for £37.86 so I cancelled that other order, as it's effectively nearly £20 for another figure I don't really need. Anyway, just over three weeks now!

Wario Ware Gold Review written by @Josh64

Hmm, the better option might be to buy a new SNES, if you get one of the "one chip" models, then at least that would be good for hooking up via a decent RGB Scart cable.

I feel when you're about to purchase something like this, it's good to ask yourself a couple of questions... How often will I realistically use this device? Don't I already have a better way of playing these games? Do I really need another handheld? I realise that I'm possibly trying to talk you out of buying something which is a relatively minor purchase, yet I've made some pretty crazy purchases myself lately. Indeed, I just bought another Neo Geo Pocket Color console... but but... this one has a modded backlight, so I'll likely use it.

I really can't fault this list of games that NEED to be on Switch...

P-Switch 4? I thought it was just the Switch that had mandatory downloads for certain physical game compilations? Now they're doing it on the PS4 as well? Seemingly for the fun of it too... unless all the games really wouldn't fit on the disc.

No wonder I came in a respectable place in that race then! And the second race... this is almost unheard of. Back down to 5th place for the third race, balance is restored. Joint Third though... I'll take that!

While I don't have any intention of upgrading to 4K (at the moment) as I feel like I still haven't got the best out of 1080p yet, this is an interesting video.

Many moments when playing Ecco the Dolphin for the first time... Jumping "high in the sky" at the start, swimming past the arms of the Octopus, being dropped into the "Open Ocean" stage or just meeting the "Big Blue" for the first time. The game generally has this very effective, unsettling and forboding atmosphere to it which not only terrified me as a child but it stuck with me years later. It's partly why I made myself play through it again when it got re-released on the 3DS (click the link for the review if you like) as I wanted to see how effective the game is today. I still haven't played through the 3D version of Ecco on the Dreamcast to this day... maybe one day though, I'll take the plunge back into those dark digital waters.

Well, I started playing this just after 9PM and I only stopped a little after 11PM... ...taking a break but the withdrawal symptoms are already setting in. I managed to play through the "intro" segment of the story, if you like, for each character and that's as far as I've got so far. The coins system is pretty useful here, I like that you can opt to just continue if you fail but at a cost of your coins, it seems like there are a few ways to obtain coins as well. On my first go from the capsule machine I got the amiibo paint thing, I don't know if you always get that on your first try, anyway, suffice to say, I'll likely be scanning in three per day. They've really gone all-out with this game, I love the voice acting and the mini-stories which move the plot along nicely while keeping things fun. Jimmy T. is still one cool cat... You KNOW it!
