  2. Lumines Remastered Review written by Anil Parmar Thank you to @Goron_3 for covering this excellent game. Another game that I can't wait to play as I do love Lumines.
  3. I knew I forgot to do something... Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Switch 3DS
  4. *just got 2nd place on that race* I think we can let you off...
  5. You can now pre-order on the Nintendo Store UK. £49.99 for just the game or £54.99 with a figure, a discount of £5 as the figures are usually £10... collect them all! Or not... Yeah I bought one with the game, just like I did with the original generations... just hoping I get an Astalos figure.
  6. Damn, this really sounds even better than I first anticipated judging from how much you're both enjoying the game @RedShell & @Hero of Time It looks like I'll be waiting a few more weeks until I can join you both, if you're still playing by then... https://www.limitedrungames.com/collections/nintendo/products/switch-limited-run-2-mercenary-kings-preorder?variant=7696882925621 The physical (sold out) release is slated for August, so three weeks time, best-cast scenario. Sounds like it's worth the wait though and well worth a spot on my Switch shelf just as I was hoping it would be.
  7. Regarding the Switch overheating/cracking. I picked up a good tip in the comments from a YouTube video about it (not the one above) and it seemed to be a sensible suggestion. Simply keep the flap of the dock open at the back (if you can) as that should help with getting rid of some of the heat. Although in this current heat it might be a good idea to keep a fan running near your Switch when it's docked, don't run it too high but just enough to move some of the heat away. Mine hasn't cracked or warped, I do use it docked and in portable mode but I usually take breaks inbetween playing it docked/undocked so that might have helped.
  8. I'm in the Limited Run loop, so the price isn't so much of an issue as I already have the physical edition pre-ordered. But I am excited to play this title, when I get it in physical form. It looks awesome.
  9. I thought you only bought it for £300? That's some mark up.
  10. Happy Birthday Goafer! Treat yourself to a Saturn game.
  11. Happy Birthday Joshimon! I hope you had an excellent day.
  12. Absolutely, all of these items were at the height of Gerudo fashion during the late Nineties. It's all coming back into popularity now though, some twenty years on. Ganondorf is a real trend-setter.
  13. *looks over at PS4 Tower* Fifty-Six games and counting, with space for another Sixteen, at least twelve of those already allocated to games coming out or hopefully getting a physical release... ...and about twenty-five other titles on another shelf. It's safe to say that I'm playing the long game with physical PS4 titles. I do get it though, for certain titles, why keep them? I had the likes of Far Cry and Fallout in my collection but those are gone, along with a few other titles which will be joining them. For the most part though, I'm keeping my PS4 games so I can have them all there for when I want to play them. I did go a bit mad on the Capcom front, I have all Resident Evil games physical and I've even imported Devil May Cry 4 mostly for the shelf because we didn't get it over here. But yeah, apart from the day 1 must haves, I'm not going to be putting much more into my PS4 collection now... ...because it's all about the Switch. (just under 40 physical games and counting) I'll post pictures at some point, got to get this room sorted first though.
  14. Regarding sealed games... I have a few, the ones I do have for Dreamcast I do intend to play at some point, so I may get the joy of unsealing a Dreamcast game soon as well. On other platforms, I have some on the GameCube... I had the chance to get a copy of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II sealed many years ago for £10... it's my "just in case" copy. Tales of Symphonia sealed as well, it came with my Tales of Symphonia Pak, the Mint Green GameCube which I think was French exclusive or something, not unsealing that. Oh and a sealed copy of Zelda Collector's Edition because I got the copy that I play with the second GC for the house at the time (my brothers) because he wanted a GameCube and I wanted the game but we both played it, so yeah I bought him his GameCube and we both got to play Mario Kart, Zelda and all those other great games at the time. But as for that sealed copy... we got it in Woolworths, as we were asking for GC games when it was on the way out, they rooted around in the drawer and found this one lone sealed copy, said they couldn't technically sell it so... yeah, my younger brother nabbed it (rightfully so really) but he kept it sealed as he could just play my copy and he got his own copy with Mario Kart after a while as well, so he just traded it to me and it's on my GC shelf because it's the only copy which has the artwork/spine etc as the Mario Kart one just had a sticker on it, so it's nice to have as its own entity on display next to the other Zelda games. I have a sealed Japanese copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends... but I have no excuse for that, I just got it kind of cheap and I like the idea of having one or two JP titles for the artwork. There are some sealed 3DS games I have... some I will play, some I might sell if I don't play them, I still have Super Luigi U sealed on the Wii U... I have it digitally but, that green case though. A few sealed Xbox and PS2 games here and there, I might just sell them, some promo 360 games... some Xbox 360 games which I never got around to playing even! Oh and about 90% of my Switch collection and PS4 collection... because of course but then, you know I'm going to play them all... one day.
  15. That's a good buy, I paid about £70 for my copy on average, when I was hunting for Dreamcast games a few years back, I ended up with that extra copy which I made my money back on. I think I even mentioned it on here at the time, anyway... solid game. I really need to get back into playing it as when you're playing it on a Dreamcast over VGA and with an official arcade stick, there's no better feeling. When I get around to it, I have a new(er) than the one I already had, boxed Dreamcast which I bought recently and I'm going to try and have it set up more often.
  16. Th...that's a sealed copy of Project Justice on the Dreamcast?!? I hope you didn't have to pay too much for a sealed copy... assuming you bought it to play, possibly? I thought you already had the game though, I'm possibly remembering incorrectly... anyway, if you're keeping those as collector's items or playing them, either way... enjoy!
  17. An interesting video which focuses (heh) on Motion Blur in gaming from the PS2 era, right up to present day. It makes a good case for it being used selectively or for their to be more options in certain titles to adjust it to meet user preference. Personally I can see the benefits of using it in certain ways but I'm glad that it has evolved significantly over the years to become useful as opposed to being intrusive.
  18. Available for pre-order on the UK Nintendo store. Against my better judgement perhaps, I have pre-ordered, just the game, Pikachu version. There's no way I'm buying the Pokéball controller though.
  19. That's a shame, I bought it and from the "quick go" on it last night which turned into "three hours later..." I'm finding it to be a fantastic port. But that's the issue, it's a port, not everyone wants to buy it for £40 over getting it for £10 on other platforms or even double-dip on it which is understandable. Of course, this doesn't take away from the fantastic job Panic Button have done with moving the whole game across to the Switch which in itself is pure technical wizardry. I will say this though... playing this game in docked mode, in the height of Summer... I do fear for my Switch as it was definitely getting fairly warm by the end of the session. Leaving it out to cool down before putting it away seemed like the best thing to do, it will probably be fine but it's pretty clear that this is a demanding title for the machine. As for the game itself, it's fantastic! And don't worry too much if you haven't played the previous game as you will be filled in on previous events and even have to make some choices. I don't know if this happens in the original version or if what we have here is another "Mass Effect 3 Wii U" situation but it's certainly a useful addition so you can make "that" decision. (Trying to keep things as spoiler-free as possible in case anyone is going back to the first game(s) before this one) Worth the money? For me, yes as I wanted to experience Wolfenstein II on the Switch and it doesn't disappoint, plus it's good to support both talanted sets of developers. I completely understand people not wanting to buy it though for various reasons, but if you are on the fence then I'd say it's worth picking up but I'd advise getting a physical copy, as there is an 8GB portion of the game to install but at least it's less than what... over 20GB for the full digital title? #SaveSwitchStorageSpace
