S.C.G

Hello Aya & Ico. So cute! I can tell you're going to have a busy weekend with those two Ine as they'll be keeping you on your toes. I'm sure it'll be the best though, they both look really happy. Hopefully the settling in goes well.

My copy of the game turned up in the form of the Legacy Edition this morning. So I decided to take a few pictures while I was unboxing it all... Metroid: Samus Returns Legacy Edition Enjoy! I'm off to finally play the game.

They quite often group them together when they can but it depends, usually if you've ordered them seperately then they will come seperately but they might choose to bundle them. Either way, I would look out for two small to medium sized boxes which will likely arrive by the same courier. I hope they all arrive safe and sound. The amiibo were sold out by the time I got round to ordering so I had to go with Amazon Germany in the end, no shipping info from them but I'm hopeful they will turn up in a few days.

We'll be awaiting your return at 2am in...Drunken thread ftw!!!!!!!!!!!! You can let us know how good the film hopefully is, how your day went and of course don't forget to sign off with... "Fukc Yoou Guyzs!!1 annnd yerr maas too!" Otherwise, we'll just be disappointed. Never change martins.

I even played the Japanese version as well for a short period of time when it had been partially translated, sadly it was when I had my old PC... I have a newer PC now which would have ran it fine but it's just not viable any more, it's a shame because if we did get a proper localised release then I would play it. To be fair though, if a HD version of the original PSO got released on the Switch then I would be on it instantly. Anyway, it's cool... I guess, I always have the GameCube version which is the main one I'll keep going back to for as long as the save file on my memory card exists.

I'll vote for Battle Stadium on Players Choice to make up for it. Yay! Balloon based balance is restored!

Sorry about that... but at least double SNES Battle OK... I deserved that.

Sneaky Nintendo... making them available at Dinner time, just got back to see them still there thankfully, got them individually and seperately, the set to keep boxed. It seems they restocked on some of the Zelda amiibo really briefly at the same time as well. Well either that or just the Ocarina of Time Link amiibo is available... right now! Go, go... go?

Regular edition with T-Shirt dispatched from Nintendo Store UK. Limited Edition from GAME still awaiting dispatch though. It looks like I should be playing it tomorrow either way though hopefully, just that Nintendo seems slow on the dispatch with this title for some reason. Usually games from them arrive the day before release but anyway, launch day it is!

Well on the almost SEVENTH anniversary of this very thread being created... ...it's only fitting that I post this I suppose even though it pains me to do so. Apologies in advance to those who will check this for bumping the thread. If anyone wants me, I'll be playing the original PSO on the GameCube, offline.

I only changed my signature and avatar really recently but I'll probably keep them the same for a while... probably. (still feeling the goodwill from Sonic Mania... review coming soon) Or change it back to a Metroid theme again once I start playing Metroid:Samus Returns... Anyway, enough of all that... welcome back @j7.2 it's good to see you around again! So you're living in Hove now? Nice, one of my brothers is currently living there, well... has been for a couple of years and is possibly moving soon but still, I've heard it's a nice area. Please do let us know your PSN when you get settled with your PS4, I haven't been on it that much but I have a backlog of games for it so it's only a matter of time before I'm on it more, well... inbetween all the Switch games that is, I hear you on the PC stuff though, loads of good stuff on Steam. I can't believe it was way back in 2009 that I went to the N-E Meat... I remember meeting you and many other members of the forum and I'll never forget it. I've still got that same jacket I was wearing on that day as well, a little worse for wear now but it still fits so I'm loathed to throw it out, I might put it through the wash though soon during my week off, hopefully there'll still be some of it left... the reason I mention it as I'm sure you commented on it as it was new when I wore it to the meet as some of the fibers in it sparkled in the sunlight, just something I remembered which stuck with me all these years. TL:DR... It's really good to have you back Jay!

NES and SNES mini Double pack? (just like Nintendo used to do but with SNES games) Calling it now.

Excellent... *Tentatively clears "schedule" for Wednesday evening*

Well, after recently setting up a second vertical display just for shmups, from the ACA NEO GEO titles I can recommend the following titles... Aero Fighters 2 Alpha Mission II Blazing Star Last Resort I've reviewed at least one of them as well, so please feel free to check this out for a more detailed look at Alpha Mission II n-europe Review ACA NeoGeo Alpha Mission II Also, from the Switch eShop thread... I hope this helps.

I've been curious about this so I finally did a little bit of research... It seems that if you pre-purchase it now - buy the whole game in advance - then you get a code for the digital version of South Park: The Stick of Truth for free, now? I think. But if you wait for the physical version, then the code for the digital version will be in the box. I know it's for free, which is nice but, I wish they had just made a physical budget version of the first game for PS4 and Xbox One as I would have bought it by now just so that I could have both games in physcial form, on the PS4. For that reason, I'll be holding out but if we ever get confirmation that it's not happening, then I'll just buy the PS3 version the next time I see it cheap and pick up the new PS4 game, when the offer expires, or it's cheaper or if it comes with the code anyway then sell it or give it away. I'm just particular with the way I collect games, if I can get it physical then I will. I would say your best bet would be to pre-purchase the game digitally now so that both yourself and Ine can play the first game before the second comes out. You are going digital, right?

Besides, if Capcom had just released both games on Switch Game Cards then there wouldn't be so much of a problem, I'd have even considered buying both games again on Switch but as it is, the PS4 is now my Resident Evil gaming machine of choice seeing as I own all physcial available Resi titles on it. Yeah, this still doesn't help those who are going digital only I suppose but then, this is why I bought a 200GB Micro SD card and have reserved it for digital only games or games which are likely to be digital only for the forseeable future, so that the space should last a long time, certainly longer than if I was to have digital versions of Zelda, Mario Kart 8 DX, Arms, Splatoon 2... etc on it. It's going to be fun to see what happens with LA Noire... that was a three disc Xbox 360 game if I recall correctly... should still fit on a Switch game card though. Anyway, these titles are a good fit for the Switch, I just wish Capcom had made more of an effort on the collection front, I'd have loved to have both games in seperate cases with an optional slipcase to go over both. Could have even made it a lenticular...

I'm buying it! I've got some time off next week so hopefully I'll even get to play it soon but how long will the demo take me do you reckon? Three hours? Seeing as it's the start of the game, it would make sense for me to put in a bit of time soon I guess.

Looks like I'll be popping into WH Smiths in a weeks time then.

That's neat to hear. But the cost of a 400GB card is nearly as much as a Switch! I'm happy with paying the £50 I managed to get my 200GB card for, at least for the forseeable future.

Truck Racer for PS3! Hell yeah!
