@Olly Have you played any of the Shantae games? After playing through 1/2 Genie Hero, and it was ridiculous.
Also playing Bayonetta(never knew it was *that* good, and the 2nd to play yet), DOOM, Pokemon Crystal, and just finished Dragon Quest Builders(one of the best games I've played in a long time).

Nope but I've been interested in them for a while. I'm planning on getting the one that's on Switch some time, it looks good
That's the one I've been playing, the Switch one, but you can get the previous one on the Switch's store now(though I presume not physical) and the first two on 3DS.Nope but I've been interested in them for a while. I'm planning on getting the one that's on Switch some time, it looks good
Yeah I remember seeing a couple for the 3DS. There seems to have been quite a lot in the last few years and I found it hard to keep up with what was what

First one came out in 02!
Yeah it's pretty rare and expensive game nowI kinda heard about one, and then they were everywhere!

I think I might have to give that one a miss.Jeebus!Yeah it's pretty rare and expensive game now
Reckon an emulator is justified in cases like thisJeebus!
Absolutely!
Though it's on the 3DS's e-shop.

He was probably the greatest advocate for consumer rights in the gaming community, played a huge role in keeping Starcraft 2 alive, and was a damn good games critic. Gave a lot of smaller games the exposure they needed as well.
I've watched his videos for many years (though not as much the last couple). Although he said some things I disagreed and was unable to handle criticism (which he knew, and led to him personally abandoning social), it's been a long time since I was so sad about a person dying who I've never met and who didn't know I existed. The last one was probably Robert Jordan, the author. Both played fairly significant parts of my life for years. Both died of cancer as well, although Robert Jordan was in his late 50s and TotalBiscuit was his mid/early 30s. He definitely didn't deserve this.
I found a old 3ds around the house last year and downloaded the first Castlevania and I would say this game is very similar, there's even certain enemies taken from the old Castlevana game.Have you played any of the original NES Castlevanias? I hear it's basically a new one of those
Since I've finished the game I'll list the positives and negatives(There's no spoilers)
Positives
.There's a good amount of variation of level design, it isn't simply working your way up to the top of the castle. There's a few different routes you can take throughout the game, it's nothing huge but nice to have and gives you another to replay the levels again.
.The soundtrack is really nice, not a iconic as the old Castlevanias but that's unfair bar to reach.
.The four playable characters all very different and I found myself constantly switching between the characters
.You can combine the different characters sub weapons together which leads to interesting combinations.
.There's somewhat of a interesting story, well it's slightly more interesting than fight the bad guy at the top of the castle.
.Although it's similar to the NES Castlevaina in terms of running time, the game gives you a good reasons to replay it(Can't really say any more as it would a spoiler).
Negatives
. It's far to easy, I'm not very good at these's games yet I only hit the game over screen a few times.
.The last few bosses are disappointing. Again it's slightly unfair as the game can't just rip off the Castlevania boss but even with that said there's isn't boss as iconic as say Frankestain, Death or Dracula.
.Certain sub weapons are too powered, some of the more difficult platform section can be easily by pass by certain sub weapons(Although I don't think this is a major criticism as it was something common with the old Castlevainas)
.The boss fights aren't that interesting, they have normally 3 different ''move sets'' and then they'll repeat.
Overall it's been good fun to play.
Nice one, thanks!
Shame to hear about the difficulty, since that's a big part of the old style games, but overall it sounds really good.
Bethesda just released a 6 second "stand by" Fallout video on Facebook 20 minutes ago.

Probably just a port for the Nintendo Switch.
Fallout 4 port to Switch or a 'remaster' of Fallout 3 for current gen. The latter is 10 years old later this year.
Or another shite dumbed down sequel that runs like ass despite being an old engine that modern machines should smash.
I hope it’s nothing to do with the shite that was Fallout 4
Chris Avellone has gone full WUM by liking the Bethesda tweet.
Not new Elder Scrolls so not interested mate.
Meh, Fallout 4 did nothing for me so I'm done with this series. Could use a new (offline) Elder Scrolls as Skyrim is 6-7 years old though.
I'm sure there's some system out there that they haven't released it on yet. The milking opportunities will never die.
'Skyrim: Game and Watch Edition' coming 2019.
Witcher 3 ruined Fallout and Skyrim for me. Bethesda need to seriously up their game.
I can't go back to sidequests of "Collect 5 bear pelts".

This is the type of game that I’d imagine @The Bloody-Nine would be playing.
I watched the trailer and wtf is this shit. How was it released?

Nah, shite reviews.
Valve will allow everything that is not illegal or trolling on Steam. Game *press* in rage.
Got myself a little project arrive this morning, just deciding if I’m gonna she’ll swap or do a full backlight and screen mod too
Do the backlight mod, I want to do it sometime and I could do with some tips.
We will see, most likely I’m just gonna display it with other Nintendo stuff so could just be a waste.
I saw a mod where he put an SP screen in which looked wild
I've been playing Sleeping Dogs a bit again recently, I really do like it a lot. Shame a new one seems very unlikely.
Playing Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin after finishing Bloodborne and the DS1 remaster. I'd heard about this being a comparatively weak game but man, I didn't expect such a spectacular drop in quality. It's woefully unbalanced compared to those other games. Endless mob rushes, absurd weapon durability and everything feels so bland. Don't know what they were thinking with this one.
Hidetaka Miyazaki didn't make it.
I picked up the Witcher 3 in the Steam sales, can I jump right into it or should I play the others first?
Jump in.
Cars handle a bit weird, but yeah, really fun game.
I like the ram attack, completely unrealistic but super fun
Oh yeah, the ram is brilliant, and the jumping from car to car! Wouldn't mind seeing more games add that stuff in.I like the ram attack, completely unrealistic but super fun
I played 2 before 3 to get a bit of back story, and 2 is a decent game. But looking back it probably wasn’t needed.
Probably blasphemy for some but I finished DS: Remastered and then jumped into DS2:SotFS and enjoy it way more. I think absence made the heart grow fonder for DS1, to be honest. Great game but there is plenty of unfinished crap in it.
In DS2 there is much more variety in weapons with a streamlined upgrade system with more materials so you're not limited to maxing 1/2 weapons per playthrough. Plus powerstancing!
The DLC is the best in the series by a distance with some of the best bosses and some brilliant NPC invasions.
What I don't understand is DS2 reworked a lot of areas in 18 months and made it a far better game but the "remaster" of DS still didn't do a thing to address crap like Lost Izalith despite 6 years of feedback.
