S.C.G

No, but I really want to buy it. The only thing which is stopping me at the moment is the possibility of it getting a physical release although... it probably won't and all the other games I've got to play. But if I end up caving in and buying it, or maybe if we end up getting a review code then either myself or another staff member will let you know what we think of it. Personally, I love Shin'en and would love nothing more than to drop everything, get the game, play it and review it... right now. In the meantime though, I wonder if anyone else on the forum has bought it?

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition launches on the Nintendo Switch eShop on Februrary 20th 2020 for £20... Well, at least it's a release date and price which is easy to remember. Check the article for more information... (and maybe a light-hearted dig at Capcom) For anyone who hasn't played it though, I must say that Devil May Cry 3 is fantastic and if I wasn't already playing it on the PS4 then... ...I likely still wouldn't buy it for £20 on its own, but if it were to get a boxed release with DMC and DMC 2? You can bet that I'd buy them again! But alas... it's not to be, so the PS4 is the platform I'll play them all on.

Space Pioneer is a twin-stick shooter developed by Vivid Games, published by QubicGames and will be available on the Nintendo eShop on December 6th for the price of £9.99 Demon Pit is a clearly Nineties-inspired, wave-based first-person shooter by Digerati and is coming to the Switch eShop on December 25th for around £8.99 Check the articles on the main page for details and trailers.

It's multiplayer only as far as I'm aware Kounan. If you don't have much time to play multiplayer games, it might be best to save your money for another game which you'll get more out of. Plus with a game like Overwatch, it's likely that it will go on sale again at a later date, probably for even cheaper than that I'd have thought. For what it is, I'd have said £10 - £15 is a fairer price to pay for Overwatch, I know it's new to the Switch but its been out on other platforms for a while. Anyway, that's what I would do if it helps with your decision making on which game to buy but it sounds to me that you might be better off waiting.

Welcome to the Pokémon Club I'm actually only around four hours into the game and haven't left the Wild Area yet so you're not far behind where I am in the game. Looking forward to playing more of it though, the battle music has been stuck in my head since I last played the game a few days ago.

Nice job @nekunando I've updated the original article with the embedded Youtube video.

Game, Set and Match for Bayonetta there...

That last match was a train wreck for me.

fudge phew!

@Josh64 I meant to say a little while ago that I did end up watching Kikujiro by Takeshi Kitano based on your recommendation and I thoroughly enjoyed it, a very unique film indeed with some really great moments in it and the two characters make a surprisingly good but unlikely pairing at times, plus all the supporting cast are brilliant and entertaining as well, I can't remember if I mentioned watching it at the time as it was a few months ago and I haven't found the time to watch many films but this is one which stuck with me so thanks for posting about it. The only film I've seen recently is Dave Made a Maze by Bill Watterson which is a fantasy adventure, comedy film with mild horror elements which stars a guy called Dave who make a maze out of cardboard inside his apartment, the setup is that his girlfriend comes home to find him in the maze and it's one of those Tardis type deals where the maze is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, so there are lots of 'rules' which work just inside this film which add to the credibility of it even though it's pure fantasy... it works well within its own created parameters is what I'm trying to say, anyway Dave is stuck in this Maze, other people go in to rescue him and well... if you want to see what happens then I'd advise watching it as it has some great moments with some inventive set design.

Another fantastic podcast, I really enjoyed listening to it this afternoon, some really good talking points and a good flow of conversation. I'll take a guess at the music tracks... they are from the same game at least I believe? I couldn't name the tracks individually but they're from Cadence of Hyrule I think. I've also got a question for you which you could use on the next podcast... How do you manage to divide your time between playing the latest game releases and your backlog? I'm sure this latest edition of N-E Café will be promoted on the front page soon but I'll leave that to Dennis.

Pokémon Sword and Shield spirits are coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate From this Friday, the spirits and the board will be there for five days but after that you should be able to encounter them during normal play. (That's the way in which I understand the spirits system to work anyway, I haven't really played the single player for the best part of a year) For those of you who already have all the currently available spirits, get ready to go for the one hundred percent completion again!

I really liked watching Happy Console Gamer share his first thoughts on Shenmue III and it just makes me think that I'm really going to enjoy the game.

Sega Lord X with a video titled 10 Times Sega Got It very Right Also... Another video... 25 Years of the Sega Saturn Both well worth a watch, especially if you remember a lot of these moments in Sega's history from back in the day.

Introducing A Smashing Cast, an N-Europe vodcast! And it's up on the main site! Thanks again to everyone involved, I think we've done a pretty good job on this overall. I think it might be time to change the name of this thread to A Smashing Cast now @LazyBoy Just a month from idea to reality, that's a pretty decent turnaround. I think with this and the N-E Café Podcast it's going to be a busy time for N-Europe and our community. Here's to a good few episodes of both hopefully and I look forward to being involved helping out where I can and hopefully getting better at Smash.

... I see...

See that creature up on top of that mountain? You can climb up there and catch it!

My copy arrived today as well, I'm not that excited by the 'backer-exclusive' slip-case, it's nice enough and it's a memento of the Kickstarter campaign but I don't really go in for slip-cases or steelbooks for my PS4 games, plus it got damaged in the post anyway and the disc is loose in the case which happens with a lot of PS4 games so this will be the copy that I open, I'll save the other limited edition as a collectable. Anyway, the main thing is... Shenmue III is here, it's real, it exists and is playable. I didn't think I'd see the day this would happen if you'd asked me more than five years ago, but here we are. With the said though, as for timing... this turns out to be one of the busiest times for game releases in general but if I can't make time for Shenmue III then that would be pretty terrible. It has been quite an exciting four years though since the game was officially announced as being in development and I don't regret backing the game at the tier I went for. I don't think there was anything mentioned about bonuses carrying over from the PS4 release of Shenmue I & II when starting Shenmue III though, but I'd always thought that would have been a nice idea if they were able to have something carry over, especially as there was some data carried over in the original DC games. However you play the games though, Shenmue is definitely a series worth investing time in I'd say and I'm glad that many people will get to play these games now.

Mine are still in egg form from when @Glen-i kindly traded me a Sobble and Scorbunny earlier, but once they've hatched and once I get to where you can breed Pokémon and assuming that I can find a Ditto, then I'll gladly pay it forward and breed some more starters for @Blade or anyone else on the forum who wants one, assuming I get that far between now and Thursday that is... waiting for Glen might still be your best bet knowing what I'm like with playing games at the moment. But I will keep you updated as I do intend to play some more of the game soon as I am enjoying playing it when I get a chance.

Yeah, I really thought I had it there. I managed to catch that Vanillish though, so thank you to @Ugh first aid and yourself. I just wanted to see what these Max Raids were all about, turns out they;re pretty fun, I think I need to level up some more though. Thanks again for the starter eggs, they haven't hatched yet but I'll run around the wild area some more until they do.

OK, I've got two Pokémon with items attached ready to trade @Glen-i and I've got a link code set which I'll send you now... Ah, you're not playing Pokémon at the moment, no worries, let me know in a bit if you can trade and I'll start up the trade with the same code I sent you I'll carry on with the story for a bit.

Right, I'm only now starting up Pokémon @Glen-i as its been a busy morning/afternoon so far but I'm going to go catch two Pokémon now and see if I can attach some useful items.

The new and improved version of A Smashing Cast - Episode 1 is now available in the post above, it fixes the audio sync and video quality issues and seems a lot better overall. That will probably be the version which we go with for the N-Europe YouTube channel, with one or two other possible tweaks and additions, that's all for now though.

Thanks Glen, I meant to trade with you yesterday but I wasn't in a position to as I didn't start playing Sword version until late last night. I did make enough progress to get the Y-Comm though, so I've got that far and then a little bit further in the story after that. I'll catch some extra Pokémon in a bit so I should be ready some time in the early afternoon if that's good for you? I'll keep you updated and thanks again for this.
