mario aces coming out (won't be buying it until it 's cheaper https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018 ... or-camelot ), and toad tracker has a demo out... (if it is a bit lavish it will give me enough toad to dip in a times)

I am going to get MARIO TENNIS ACES for when my chum comes over for his annual visit, although I suspect we'll play it in Classic mode so he doesn't get annoyed by all the special moves and me breaking his racquet.

The GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT we have is that I will ceremonially purchase and install the game upon his arrival so he knows I haven't been doing any sneaky practice, and that we're both going into it as n00bs.

'There are some Mario Tennis Aces players who are pretty furious right now. Redditor Ventus55 said forcing quickfire matches on players "removes all the deep analysis you sort through when battling a tough opponent. It belittles the mental warfare you and your opponent are having as you try to outplay one another. It dispatches the adaptability of techniques you need to utilise when your opponent has figured your playstyle out. It erases the incredible comeback victories you can have after being down 90 per cent of the match. It completely shatters the rewarding feeling of fighting tooth-and-nail for 20+ minutes to come out the victor by a tiny margin. It makes for very shallow gameplay for most matches because there isn't enough time to feel like you are developing a good strategy against your opponent."'

Oh, come on.

It's not a surprise that an arcade tennis game uses the 3 game format, is it? Sega tennis was the same iirc.

Either way, it won't be as good as Pete Sampras tennis on the megadrive

It's a surprise as all previous Mario Tennis games have let you customise match lengths since the dawn of time.

I mean that guy above is obviously over-egging the pudding but it's a fair criticism.

Darius is coming to Switch.

http://www.japanesenintendo.com/post/175465812744

Price is a bit of a gushing head-wound though.

~£40 for the basic version, or £125 if you want the full package.

Weird. I was only thinking the other day that the Switch's screen would rather suit a Darius game. Not at that price though.

quitte a few mario tennis games already on the second hand market, so treated myself to one for the holidays...

125 quid for darius? ai.. they already had some rather interesting price points for the ps4.. but luckily you knew you could wait for a sale then..

I was in the lounge last night, surrounded by a PS4 Pro, an XBox One X, a Switch (all connected to a 55 inch telly), and a £2500 gaming PC.

I sat on the couch playing Wario Ware Gold on my 2DS.

It would be weirder if you weren't playing with your new toy.

I guess, but I'd had it a few days already and Wario Ware is hardly a 'deep' game, and I've had it before on both GBA and DS.

I do so love it though.

R-Type 2 looks pretty nice there but the art styler for R-Type 1 is fucking horrible. There's just something really cheap and generic looking about it

Some of the conversions are good, which probably helped. It's one of the best side-scrolling shooters on the Master System and Spectrum partly because of a lack of decent competition.

I’ve enjoyed them a great deal. The original certainly did some original things when it was released, plus I think the arcade graphics still look nice today and some of the music is iconic. I reckon R-Type Final is the best of the bunch though which is irritating because we ain’t getting that. Fuckers.

Nintendo Direct announced some more details of the online service last night. The video above explains 5 great features of the online service. They are:-

1. You can play online with your friends
2. You'll be able to play a load of NES games. Online too.
3. Cloud saves
4. The Nintendo mobile app does some stuff including voice chat (They're scraping the barrel now)
5. Special offers (to be revealed online)

All this doesn't sound fantastic really but, the service is only £20 a year. I think I can stump up £20 to play Super Mario Bros 3, Ice Climbers and Excite bike on the lovely Switch.

It worked quite well for online play v randos but I can't imagine it's great for squadding up.

I reckon Nintendo still think that this internet thingy is just a fad and will pass eventually.

Post subject:  Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX")

I agree, the details aren't great so far but then I was thinking that Xbox live is £40 a year and up until recently, that only paid you to go online and play with your friends. Admittedly, it's a much more robust system but still.

Author:  Mr Dave [ Fri Sep 14, 2018 12:57 ]

More robust, a notable improvement over existing systems and significantly more user friendly.

Which makes sense as they'll only really be used for the NES games which are only available to those that buy Switch online.

Shit! If you stop paying for the Nintendo online they delete your cloud saves. By comparison, if you stop paying for PS+ you can come back within 6 months and they’ll still be there.
