The free update that adds the remixed soundtrack is out now and the DLC has shown up in the eshop. It costs £3.59 and contains Mondo Geko and Mona Lisa as playable characters. The page for it makes a point of saying this is the final content update for Shredders Revenge

I think around £400 is around the most I would pay for a Switch 2. The only reason I can think of that would make me not want to buy it, would be if it didn't have backwards compatibility... but even then I think I still would buy it eventually

I had never heard of Mini Racers or Dragon Sword before, but both look pretty good and certainly the kind of games I would have been interested in back then. In both cases it seems like a shame that they never had a full release.

Thanks for the heads-up on some of the DLC being free, I went through the Final Fantasy 7 DLC today which was nice. It's a weirdly relaxing experience to play this game, especially while listening to a podcast or something. I'll buy the full game before the sale ends

If anyone is curious, you can read the hidden rants here: https://tcrf.net/The_New_Tetris#Hidden_Rants Here's a taster of the main one: lol

Looking forward to this:

Yeah I really like this theme, I was a huge fan of splatoon 1 and 2 but never brought 3. This theme almost makes me feel a bit sad that I missed out on everything in the third game

A Splatoon 3 themed Grand Prix/Max Cup starts on the 16th of August

Not sure what was going on today, i exclusively got mushrooms for most races and it disconnected mid-race twice lol

There was quite a lot Marvel announcements at SDCC last night, with the major reveal of the actor who will be playing Dr Doom: The next two Avengers movies are ‘AVENGERS DOOMSDAY’ - May 2026 and ‘AVENGERS: SECRET WARS’ - May 2027. Russo Brothers are returning to direct them. Title and date for the Fantastic Four movie. Begins production on Tuesday. Hits theaters July 25, 2025:

From what I understand, they showed the entire movie with that audience as a surprise: https://deadline.com/2024/07/deadpool-wolverine-ryan-reynolds-hugh-jackman-comic-con-surprise-screening-1236022872/

I also saw Deadpool & Wolverine and really enjoyed it and just like the previous posts said, the cameos were fantastic. It felt good to see those characters again, even if the movies they came from were not all great it just made me happy to see them get their moment. Speaking of the cameos, the entire cast of the movie showed up at the San Diego ComicCon last night (Spoilers for those who have not seen the movie yet):

^A video of it in action at the San Diego comic convention. The Zelda set is also there:

That is fantastic, just as you mentioned it is just like old gaming magazines. And the pages for Nintendo World Championship reminds me a lot of Club Nintendo magazine from the late 80s

That does seem to be the case, the official site mentioned which ROMS they are using for each game: I had a look around and this is the ROM from the arcade release. In regards to MvC2, this means very little as the Dreamcast came out a month later, so its basically the same. Capcom did this with the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and I remember being a bit disappointed that we didn't have a choice of which version to play. That said, the trailer shows we have quite a few options to tweak the game Plus they could always add content in the future. I had mixed feelings on it. I remember that I enjoyed unlocking the characters but over time it was too much of a grind. As you know, each time you brought a character it increased the price to buy the next one, and so even though I was playing this game for hours every day, it took me way too long to get enough points to buy all the characters and stages. I remember i towards the end I resorted to leaving the game running on Training mode as that was a way to get points. Another option back then was you could download save files from Gamefaqs directly onto the memory cards via the Dreamcast internet browser and download a completed save file.

I feel the same, I think an online Crazy Taxi game where I am up against several other players all on the same map sounds great. It certainly has the potential to be something decent.

Hey that's from my YouTube channel, so that should give you an idea of how much I love this games soundtrack. That particular song is one my favorites from MvC2 (although I like every song in this game soundtrack lol) I have so many good memories of playing MvC2 on my Dreamcast back when it came out and I always went back to it to play as it was just one of those games I always enjoyed. A Marvel Capcom Collection was pretty much my dream game but I had assumed it was not going to happen until last year when Arcade 1up released a cabinets of several Marvel Capcom games. From that point I assumed it was only a matter of time before it gets a home release as it showed it was possible for Marvel and Capcom to release these titles again. Seeing this collection in the Nintendo Direct a few weeks ago made me incredibly happy, i honestly can't wait to play MvC 2 again and also to play the other games, i have played a few of them over the years but but only a few goes in the arcade when they came out. Edit- Its worth looking at the official website for this collection, they've put quite a bit of effort into it: https://www.capcom-games.com/marvel-vs-capcom-fc/en-uk/

I never got my polling card so I went to the polling station nearby anyway, to be told that that particular polling station has not been assigned for my street. which is annoying considering its all of three minutes walking distance from my road: It’s my fault for not checking before hand, but it seemed logical the place two streets away would be my polling station, not the one ten minutes away

Yeah, same for me but for the 2nd and 3rd set of races.

The next max cup is for an F-zero 99 theme

Yeah, i couldn't play Goldeneye without that option without feeling like I'm losing my mind lol
