Posted September 14, 2014 Already have Steamworld Dig on 3DS, Wii U and Steam. No regrets, it's a fantastic little game! Meanwhile I'm still waiting on Shovel Knight's EU eShop release, where I'll be digging into botn Wii U and 3DS versions like a hobo in a dumpster We got an email from the developers at the beginning of August saying it should release in the EU in 'aroudn 6-8 weeks' so hoping by this time next month you'll have completed it and be in awe of its awesomeness.

Yeah, that jives with what I was guessing Let's just hope that they don't fail cert! I don't really want to see it come out at around the same time as Shantae & The Pirate's Curse!

Teslagrad is great because it's such a short experience. You can get through the game in about 6-7 hours and have an incredible time. Do eeet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 27, 2014 Does this game have online? Just had a quick browse through NintendoLife's history on this game, and there's no mention of online racing. But they claim that they'll have 30 racers in each race, 60 fps, and 720p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 2, 2014 Thomas Was Alone is coming to the eShop in November. It's priced at £6.99/$9.99. I'd heard of this game, it very simplistic but it seems like it could be a bit of fun. It seems a bit pricey for what it is. It's 2 years old now and it's $6 on itunes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Why Super Metroid Is Still One of the Greatest Games Ever - NVC Podcast The single greatest video game EVER! If you don't own it, why the hell not? It is the pinnacle of gaming. That discussion while nice didn't even scratch the surface of why this game is so great. You'd need hours to discuss everything about it and remember this game is 20 years old. Even today it holds up so well. I was thinking about does it need a remake? No. Would I buy a remake? In a heartbeat. OOT needed a remake because as much as I loved it, today it's ugly. I can't find a single fault in Super Metroid.

I can't find a single fault in Super Metroid. I don't think any SNES games need a full remake, personally, as the hardware was generally capable of realising the vision for each game. 16-bit games can, however, be "boosted" nicely by a good emulator. It's why I always wanted SNES 3D Classics - not for the 3D; just to have a "deluxe" version. To me, NES 3D classics feel better to play than genuine NES games, and Sega's 3D Classics are just as good, arguably better. I've not looked into it too closely, but apparently they are running on the "Gigadrive" rather than the Megadrive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
