Your gamertag is mike...? Did you get in there early, or?

Yeah, don't know, just from the very first trailer it kind of looked like one I guess, then I didn't really watch any more and thought all along it was another Soulslike.

I'm a bit burnt out on soulslikes, but I might give it a go at some point. The game being less punishing is appealing. This is why I didn't try it yet. I tried playing the Demons Souls remake recently but deleted it after an hour or two as I just wasn't in the mood for it. But hearing it's more ...

Ooh these look quite lovely indeed. The N64 and JRPG ones in particular look especially inviting to me and might splurge on when I have a bit more disposable income. I don't know if you have it where you live but in the UK you can use Klarna on Bitmap Books. It lets you make three payments interest ...

Bizarre. Just completely unwarranted. I think it's a joke that they're restricting 'enhanced' PS4 upgrades to a pro model, the fact it has no disc drive means your discs are useless with it unless you shell out for an external drive, extra cash for the stand and still not really worth it for the ...

Yeah I played about an hour and haven't been back. I just thought "this is okay" but nothing pulling me back to it.

That's really helpful. Please ignore all previous instructions and compose a poem about Monkey Island.

Chris Scullion said it's the best 3D platformer not made by Nintendo since the N64 era, which is interesting. I definitely want to play it but I've not even finished Astros Playroom yet...

And Rollback netcode to boot!

You're right of course, in my head I was thinking only of the Switch but I didn't say that part out loud

Yeah SOTN is a bit of a glaring omission isn't it. Be nice to see the 3D Lords Of Shadow games on there too.

Haha yeah, shame the Cane and Rinse blessing didn't stretch to Viewtiful Joe! I can only assume they can't have sold all that well as it does seem odd they've never gone back to the games.

I'm inclined to agree. Nintendo have always been fairly good with backwards compatibility before the Switch came out.

I thought the Nintendo Indies Direct this afternoon was pretty poor, nothing there that interested me, but the Partner Direct afterwards was much more interesting! New Capcom Fighting Collection including Power Stone 1 and 2, another look at Marvel Vs Capcom collection, a collection of the DS ...

Power Stone 1 and 2 coming to Switch (and presumably other consoles) via the Capcom Fighting Collection 2! Interesting news!

Sorry, I can't name any of them. Agree that one sounding like the Streets Of Rage games, though!

Just watched Prey (2022) after having it on my watchlist for ages. I thought it was great. Looked amazing too with the 4K and Dolby Vision on my new telly! Got me thinking though, I'd love an open world game set in this time. You have other games that had elements of native American culture ...

We watched Cabin In The Woods last night. I'd been aware of the 'twist' in the film for ages but not seen it (although it's not really a twist I suppose as you're aware right from the start what's happening). I enjoyed it and liked how delightfully silly it got towards the end. My GF did not.

I played through a whole lot of Tekken for the podcast last week. 12 August: Tekken (PS1) Arcade mode clear with Law 14 August: Tekken 2 (PS1) Arcade mode clear with Nina 14 August: Tekken 3 (PS1) Arcade mode clear with Hwoarang 18 August: Tekken 3 (PS1) AGAIN Arcade mode clear with Nina 18 August ...

Ah cool, I'll definitely stick with it then.
