I think Punch-Out!! only has two exclamation marks, if we're being arseholeish about things. Which I am.

Dusted off my 3DS yesterday and had a nose in the shop. There are some special offers on Jewel Quest games, at 90% off, so I thought I'd splash out on Jewel Quest - The Sapphire Dragon at <1.07>.

Also spent <16.50> on a Spectrum+ keyboard membrane. I like the fact that you can still buy speccy parts.

The Megadrive. It's a J cart which means it's got two extra controller ports on the cartridge. Not something my everdrive can replicate I'm afraid.

From the cottage, I remember it didn't come with racing cows. Which rather invalidates it to my mind.

I might have to disagree with you there Dave.. As for the high res mode, I'm not sure. I'll have a go later and let you know.

There are cows on the cover artwork though, so I imagine they're in there somewhere.

Edit.. beaten to it

I remember being specifically disappointed in this, it could just be that our host was poor at cow finding, which would please me.

Not entirely sure, as we bounced round so many trying to get one that worked, but my memory is that we ended up on the mega drive version. I'd think that it may just have been normal skidmarks aside from the expectation of cow.

I've just had a skip through my roms folder and I only have the Mega Drive version, so... I guess it was that one.

It is labelled as "beta" though.

You're right... It was actually £65! I'll amend it.

Seriously though, it is a lovely controller and absolutely 100% an impulse purchase.

Did you play it on Wii-U?

It's quite one of the most glorious videogames I've ever played, did a full 100% completion on it.

I'm genuinely really excited at the thought of getting to play it through again.

I didn't actually. The last one I played was on the 3DS (Was that Donkey Kong Country Returns? Something like that) I really enjoyed that even if it was a tad on the hard side. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It looks glorious.

<23.99> Rayman Legends for XBox One.

I was going to get this for the Switch but it (a) Costs £6 more and (b) Appears to be a bit of an average port in several regards, most critically long loading times (which the XB1 and PS4 versions effectively eliminate completely), and stuttery performance which Eurogamer suspect is down to the console uncompressing assets in the background, which also results in slightly lower quality assets as well. (The game's footprint is less than half the size it is on the other consoles.)

On several fronts the Switch version is poorer than the Wii-U version (!), including loading times where the Wii-U is faster (!!).

No brainer then, XB1 purchase.

You've spent over £700 already this year and I'm willing to bet the vast majority of it never sees the digital equivalent of the light of day.
