3PM? A whole hour and twenty-two minutes before I got the e-mail? If that's true then clearly Nintendo's e-mail notifications are beyond useless if they don't all get sent at the same time.

I was just about to say... SNES Classic Mini back in st... ...and it's gone. (again) This happened in the space of e-mail 16.22 saying Back in stock. I was just checking my e-mail at 16.23 and they had already gone. So Nintendo did restock the SNES classic mini, albeit very briefly indeed.

Cheers for the shout @Glen-i It's my week off work so I very nearly, almost, kinda forgot. But I'm on it now so I'll be there, GameCube controller in hand.

Nice. I've been trading in stuff to CEX from my collection for months now - just PS2 games mostly, nothing too rare - and from the first lot I tended to go for £100 worth of new PS4 games I didn't have plus a collectable Wii game but then I thought, while that's all good I decided that for any future earned credit I would go more for collectable games etc that I possibly wouldn't justify buying otherwise. So if it was me then I would go for the rarer games, get something you will play and that will keep hopefully its value as well. I decided to go for boxed Nintendo Game & Watch units which are nice to have, can be used from time to time, a lot of them don't come up for sale at CEX very often and they will likely keep their value or go up in years to come. But equally you could go for N64, SNES, Playstation, Dreamcast titles or whatever and actually get a decent amount of playtime out of them as well.

I got my e-mail earlier today and I'm pretty impressed with just how much they managed to save. Not only do you get your posts - which I haven't properly checked out all of yet - but you get all of your screenshots and also images of your Mii with the various expressions plus icons for all the of the games which you posted in the community of providing you played the game or used the application. (I think) It might be good to see how many game icons we all have between us, I'll probably even end up using some of them for certain game boxarts for the site as they are seemingly around the right size and are decent quality too.

While this might be a good thing as far as banning Loot Boxes is concerned which is a good thing, wherever there's a government involved... well, it could lead to a very slippery slope. I'm already aware that regulations changed several years ago to do with the ratings systems which is fair enough, the most notable example of this I recall was with Pokémon Gold & Silver. In the original GameBoy games, you had the gambling corner which featured slot machines which would reward you with coins so that you could buy in-game rewards - no real-world money obviously - but the slot machines had to be changed for the re-releases on the DS to something less gambling focused. That's all well and good I suppose - though I still miss that original gambling corner - but what if any new laws brought in ended up extending to games such as say... Mario Kart which really doesn't have loot boxes or anything of the sort - it only recently got standard dlc - but what it does have is of course, the random item box from which you obtain the power-ups in the game; now something like this shouldn't be affected by any new laws coming in as it's not the same as loot boxes at all really but depending on how new laws are written it is technically possible that other games might end up becoming unintentional casualties of government law. Hopefully this doesn't happen, what is most likely is that companies such as EA who seem to be blatantly abusing their consumers will be forced to make/publish proper games again which would be a good thing, because then maybe they could have a look at their back-catalogue - which used to be phenomenal back in the 16-bit days - for inspiration on which games to honestly bring back as fully fleshed-out standalone experiences, just like most games used to be. (personally my vote would go to Road Rash) But it could also be the start of banning established but harmless elements in videogames which have been around for a long time and don't really need to be changed as they are so ingrained in the history of the series' and even though as aforementioned I really do hope that this isn't the case, it's important to look at the picture as a whole.

It's a decent option, at least they didn't alter the artwork on the physical boxes presumably so that if you want to maintain that nice, cohesive red & white colour scheme on the spines of your Switch titles, you can... just remove the cardboard sleeve and all is good. Out of interest, how many physical Switch games are people up to now? (If you're collecting)

That amazing controller got me through most of Wulverblade, it really is exceptional for 2D Switch titles which don't require more than one trigger button... or the minus button because select remaps as an extra "B" button for some reason, but other than that it's perfect.

Then two bonus rounds of Baby Park to follow just for giggles?

So... four rounds of Baby Park to the death then? It'll be quick and painful! Or just start again I guess...

Seconding this...

An instant modern classic in my eyes. n-europe Review Wulverblade is well worth picking up if you like a side-scrolling Beat 'em up with a challenge. It's exclusive to the Switch for a while longer as well, I reckon it's a title which will grow in popularity over time. Let me know what you think, enjoy!

Copy, the URL (just like you did) then paste it directly into the reply box and it should autoconvert (like it has now) really not sure why I didn't work for you though? Either way, this is literally the next video I had planned to watch, so I'm going to right now!

I'm sorry to hear that Joshi you know where I am if you want to talk about it.

No I haven't finished the game yet, I just came here to post this...

From personal experience... "The Hori one seems to be good enough that it doesn't melt..." They should put that as an official endorsement on the box.

For what it's worth, I went with the Hori/Official stick on screen protector and it has been fine, no problems at all and it doesn't affect the visibility or the touch screen.

@Glen-iI got disconnected on every battle in the first GP and the first race of the second gp and whatever happens, I'm going for 100% attendance.

Awww yeah! In-Ba-ttle GP-1 Race-1-and-2... COMMERROR!, COMMERROR!, COMMERROR!,COMMERROR! (and Race 3) I'll-try-in-hand-held-mode. just-in-case...

I don't often go in for betas or demo's... ...but when I do, it's for a Monster Hunter title.
