Quick answer: Soon...

On the upside though, perfect Christmas game.

Well... not content with taking... long enough to install the 50GB of data required for Forza 7 and after updating the console and the new controller plus all other updates/games that I wanted to install while I was there to avoid doing it next time. I thought to myself... let's play a quick game of Forza 7 to see what it's like... *clicks launch* back to dashboard *clicks launch again* 32.01GB update!!! *sigh* Oh well... back to playing on my Switch. Then some Forza 7 sometime before midnight... possibly. In fairness, the new dashboard is at least better and everything is a bit quicker, so there's that.

Looks like another indie title I'll be buying on the Switch. I'll just go and add that to the... *another new title announced!* ...ever... growing... *another new title announced!* ...list. *another new title announced!*

Nice! I've been looking for a reason to power up my Xbox One, so that I can update it, charge my new controller and take half a day installing Forza 7, while I play on my Switch. Looks like this is it! Oh, and I've just remembered that I've got Cuphead still to play.

Happy Birthday Daft I hope you have an excellent 30th.

Thank You very much Glen. Your half-demeaning trip to GAMaplin's is much appreciated.

@Animal you're completely in the right and I understand how you feel as I wouldn't go anywhere near one of those places, you're already doing more than I would in that situation so there's no way that you should feel bad about it at all, not in the slightest. Really, I feel like he should be appreciative that you're helping him at all as it seems like you're already doing stuff which may be out of your comfort zone perhaps? It's really rubbish of people to try and make you feel pressured into doing something that you clearly don't want to do when you're already doing your best. Nah, sod that... you're doing the right thing by not going, not changing your mind and sticking to your guns.

Looks like I got this game just in time then! I'm just about to install my physical copy now and get all the free stuff that's presumably available by now. @Cookyman I'm coming after you! (so when are you typically online these days?) *this is the part where Cookyman, after years of trying to get people from N-E to play games online - quite reasonably too - decides to tell us all that it was one big troll and that he's given up gaming* No but seriously, don't do that... I will definitely play a game (or thirteen) of Friday the 13th with you.

Ah... Special Reserve, how I miss thee. I won a game from them, there was a competition to write an article about the launch of the GameCube and they just so happened to publish mine. What game did I choose? Why Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the N64 of course! ( I likely mentioned this in general gaming when I was showcasing my N64 games) I'm sure we were both forum members there back in the day were we not? Probably along with a few other N-E forum members as well.

comm error on the third race of the first GP... after winning the first race too!

While you're there deameaning yourself... I don't suppose you could get me a Marshadow code as well please? If not don't worry, I'll just have to demean myself at a later date.

Here it is... n-europe Review I know, I know... I took Ages. But then so did Sega in letting this game be made so... Special Thanks to @Kaepora_Gaebora for contributing to the review. Enjoy!

It's always the way, you wait ages for an ACA NeoGeo review... n-europe Review ACA NeoGeo Magical Drop II ...and then two come along at once! n-europe Review ACA NeoGeo Aero Fighters 2 I'll try and get the next ones out soon. If anyone has any requests for which Arcade Archives game they'd like to see reviewed next then let me know... ...otherwise, it'll definitely be a fighting game. Enjoy!

Lovely stuff martins! Please don't stop posting SNES games as I was about to post the same thing as Happenstance as I too like seeing retro purchases. Oh and btw that auction you posted a link to which went up even when you'd posted it, I kind of followed it, even placed a bid but... it went up to £370 for those 40 unboxed SNES games, probably much more than they were worth in fairness, just so you don't feel too bad about not getting them, they went for moreorless what they were worth probably. Hmm, maybe we should have a Retro Game Purchases thread in the General Gaming section? Though I wouldn't want to take away from this thread of course... Anyway, in the meantime... here's my latest retro videogame purchase! I used to have this boxed and complete, sold it once and now I've bought it back again for a premium price but... it was worth it! (I got £10 off it with a PayPal voucher code at least) Metal Gear!

I've just realised... three weeks to go until Super Mario Odyssey releases! Get hyped!

I remember saying that I'd be interested as well, I've been looking for a reasonably priced but good condition PS3 console for my brother as he keeps saying he'll get one but never does. It's a top-loading super slim model with 500GB isn't it? Is it boxed? (not bothered if it isn't) What colour is it? and what games are you selling? Out of interest... and obviously I'd need to know what price you're after. Anyway, it's your console and you're free to sell it to whoever you like of course but my offer is there.

I'd probably have done better in the league table if I hadn't have played... almost.

Koopa City, Mushrooms only... why?

I don't have the first vehicle either for some reason... so I've gone for a close alternative. Annd... whatever this alternative car is, it turns out that it's a handicap as it's definitely slower, ah well, whatever.

Well played Nintendo... It got a smile out of me anyway...
