Correctly predicted Italy to win Euro 2020
It's incredible how much fun Super Mario 64 is even today. Last played it as a child in 2002 or something like that and it's just as good as I remember it.
I'm going to load up my cube some point this weekend and see what's what as I played Sunshine through a few years back and it was still fantastic.Sunshine has aged terribly.
The camera is awful and the controls are really unresponsive. I want to finish it before I really crack on with Galaxy but I don't think I have the patience.
It feels like input lag. I'm really struggling to do triple jumps as it doesn't seem to register the button presses. It feels like you have to wait a second before pressing another button for it to catch up. I nearly threw my controller at the TV during the harbour level. I just gave up in the end.I'm going to load up my cube some point this weekend and see what's what as I played Sunshine through a few years back and it was still fantastic.
I wouldn't say the controls are terrible, but there is definitely some disconnect there that I don't remember being in the original. It's like something screwy is going on with the framerate and controls.
The triple jump thing is an original issue. In fact it's not actually an issue as such, they deliberately made the jumps a certain way (which turned out to be a bad decision). I believe they tried to make it easier to do for players, but it worked out the opposite because we were all so used to M64It feels like input lag.

Galaxy runs smooth as butter though. I cant believe I've never played it before. Only a few hours in and I'd say it's easily my favourite 3d Mario.
I'll go back later and try, but so far the game just seems off.

To do it, and all the fancy stuff (like spin jump/shoot), hold the button down. Like on the triple, hold it on the second and third jumps.
Nah, it'll be emulated just like the original is on the Snes app.Will Donkey Kong Country 2 be a remake?
What's wrong with Nintendo? Let's hope they actually remake Super Metroid.Nah, it'll be emulated just like the original is on the Snes app.
I think Nintendo have been lazy for quite a while now.In the original super mario all stars, the nes games were remade, right? What a shit, lazy thing this new one is.
To be fair, they announced exactly what it was going to be. You have the SNES app right? The games on there all run just as the original snes games did.What's wrong with Nintendo? Let's hope they actually remake Super Metroid.
Been playing this myself the last couple of weeks. I'd already played the sequel when it came out. This one is grand but I'm not really getting sucked in. I loved the second one though. The music in these games is epic.Finally decided to get Xenoblade Chronicles and I’ve really been enjoying it thus far. Happy to see that there’s a part two as well when I get done with this.

For a freebie (so long as you have the online subscription), I think that's fine. Charging £50 for three old titles isn't though.
The main issue I have with the Snes app is that there's still hardly any titles on it, and only a fraction of those are big ones.
I was using Pro Controller but just played in handheld and it felt a bit more responsive. I've started to get the hang of the different move set but not sold on it yet. There are some amazing moments but also some really frustrating parts. I've just done Mecha Bowser and loved the idea but then did a platforming section next level, where I had to bounce between jump pads and the conrols were horrnedous and I couldn't reliably move Mario.which controller are you using?

Just grabbed it. I love roguelikes and this one looks amazing.Hades is pretty great.
The jump tip did work. I've found holding down on second and third jump tends to work. Also realised you have to be a lot more precise with your timing and hit jump just as Mario is about to touch the ground. In comparison 64 feels more responsive. They've really ballsed up Sunshine. I didn't play it in its entirety on GameCube but I don't remember it being this frustrating from the outset.The only issue with the camera that's a pain is the lack of looking up in normal play. It gets better as you get to the other levels/used to it.
The controls are laggy though, I loaded up the cube version (Panasonic Q with a homemade RGB lead, so I'm getting 60hz with an American disc) and it was much smoother. Seems they have used the PAL 50hz version and scaled it badly. Which is odd, since the Pal version could actually do 60, but I don't think I ever tried that to see if it suffered the same.
But it is better if you do as I say, whatever junp trick you are trying to do hold the button rather than tap. Works fine like that.
I found it really lumpy at the time, and on the odd occasion ive booted it up since, nothing has changed my mind. The Fludd mechanic really slows the game down - its telling that the best levels are those ones where Fludd gets taken off you. Add in a handful of the most irritating levels in Mario history and its not a game I really want to go back to.Sunshine has aged terribly.

Can't fully remember but the switch doesn't have a great history with price drops on Black Friday because it's always in such high demand anyway. Best you can hope for would be some sort of bundle deal with a game.Would the best time to get a Switch be during Black Friday? My friends bought theirs over Facebook Marketplace and eBay but I can't find any that look worth the price at the moment.
The deals last time weren't amazing, but still good. With a bit of luck you might find some places with limited stock at about £250 or perhaps £300 with one of the better games included. Hard to say at the moment as it's selling so well already, but Nintendo might work with some retailers to come up with something to tempt people from buying a next gen console instead as they release just before. I wouldn't expect mega savings just yet though.Would the best time to get a Switch be during Black Friday?

Darn, I won't hold my breath then. Cheers guys. My friend got one second hand with Pokemon Sword/Shield and Zelda for £250. Not sure if it was the extended battery version, though, which I would probably want.The deals last time weren't amazing, but still good.

The lowest I've seen a secondhand Switch at some kind of trade-in store was still £220, so it's very difficult to find a sweet deal IMO.
You can make it somewhat better by using first person camera and shooting with that when you want to aim properly as you usually have plenty of time with bosses and all that. Outside of that, the spin attack helps with multiple enemies.If you could aim in Sunshine like you can in Splatoon, it would be as good as the other two, but until then the central mechanic of the game feels like another failed 3D Sonic experiment.
it's a free addition to NSO, of course it's not a remake.What's wrong with Nintendo? Let's hope they actually remake Super Metroid.
How are you not losing your temper with Sunshine? I want to enjoy it, I can see all the reasons I would love it, and then I play it and it runs and controls like absolute arse.Finished Mario 64 which was still good fun despite the obvious camera issues. I'm now probably about half way through Sunshine which I have never played before and I'm loving it. Definitely can't understand all the hate it received, it's very good even today.
Saving Galaxy for last as I'm expecting it to be the best game in this collection.
Due to the lockdown I had time to (re)play some classics on the GameCube. Sunshine I had never played before and it really has super frustrating parts, even on the Cube. I wasn't aware it had a reputation for being the hardest and most unfair of the Mario games. Kinda curious now, how the Switch version compares to the original.How are you not losing your temper with Sunshine?
