My payment failed for some reason, argh! I've got no notifcations on any of my accounts. I even used PayPal so it could go through all the accounts it needed to. They've said they're going to try again in 4 days.

Still not been charged by Nintendo yet.

Fast RMX was such a good launch game. I will be 100% picking this up.

Just got my Nintendo Store invite! So I'm going to cancel my Game Collection order to free that up for someone else.

I missed out on all the bundles going up the past couple of days but seeing The Game Collection have another round yesterday at least makes me think the standalone that I got an order in for earlier in the week is safe. Still pointlessly holding out for a MNS invite though.

I got an order in here (for Switch 2 only, not with Mario Kart World) but with how their site is having issues I'm not 100% convinced I'll get it. Fingers crossed though.

People are already getting pre-order invites??? Is there anywhere I can check all my eligibility? Like I know my NSO expired for a day but I can't remember if it was last year or the year before. I've checked about all the data sharing and that's all enabled. No idea about my playtime or if that's over a specific period too? Because the past 12 months or so it's not been used very much at all.

It makes me sad that they've taken all the colour away! It was totally expected that we'd get a traditional successor but in a world of Steam Decks, they've got a lot more competition than last time. I went from buying pretty much any third party game I wanted to play on the Switch to just buying first party games again since I got a Steam Deck a few years ago. Obviously I'll still buy it because Nintendo but I think they might struggle to get the 'western gamer' segment this time and fall back on just the fans and families again. Though catching families will be massively dependant on price.

I wonder if that's over them taking Namco off of in-flight projects. We know they were taken off of Smash Bros and Metroid Prime at the very least.

For those interested this is live now. Just remember to take all the usual Kickstarter precautions if you're interested in it.

Even if it is just the tat we used to get from Club Nintendo. I'm actually shocked it's not one of our old regulars putting this out 🤣

Just tried this on my Pocket and I love it! Will try on Game Boy Player or MiSTer at some point too.

Is there a good reason to get this if I already have the second one?

I love these games. I really hope we get the Leslie Philips and Danny John-Jules voice tracks though. In a perfect world we'd able to chose between those UK tracks and the american Dana Gould ones. So strange to see that logo at the end because I thought they had sold Gex along with all the other IP.

Excited for this! Though it's strange that it's based on the SNES original and not the enhanced port to the PlayStation.
