I’ve played a lot of this and literally had one go at the medium and expert tracks. I just love that first track and have been obsessing over times. I’m not great at racing games but I’m having a great time trying to shave tenths or seconds off my times, which is something I haven’t done in a racing...

Just two days after the above acts of rage, which Nintendo’s excellent UK store has already delivered replacements for, I’ve finished Shovel Knight! Like another game with Knight in the title, it haunted me and there was no way I was letting it beat me, so I reinstalled it and finished it. I got str...

Further to my last post about nearly finishing Shovel Knight, I’ve now binned it. What seemed like a tenner well spent has turned into £70 of replacement joy-cons after mine had an accident with a wall on what turned out to be halfway through the second-to-last level. Having looked at a walkthrough ...

A last-minute Arcade Archives Bubble Bobble is about all that would make me part with cash this week!

I’ve been playing a level on Shovel Knight every now and then for a few weeks, since I bought it in the Switch E3 sale, and seem to be right near the end without really realising I’d gone that far. Not sure I’ve played it right because I’ve got a ton of item slots and only a couple filled, and I’m j...

Very much enjoying Virtua Racing, however online is completely unplayable! It's just awful, awful lag. Frame rate drops to about 15fps and input delay means you literally cannot steer the car! Bizarre. Yep. I had one game online and it was awful. Hope they can patch that. I saw you playing when I w...

I’d buy a second subscription for Game Boy titles with Switch Online!

For anyone that’s into them, most Zelda Amiibo ever are back in stock on the Nintendo UK store. Or were when I looked a minute ago...

Finally got my hands on Virtua Racing for Switch. On,y time for a quick go so far but wow! Resident Evil 2 Remake is really, really good. The tension is incredible (especially when the big dude starts following you about), with great plot balance that gives you just enough freedom to make you have t...

Virtua Racing on Switch this Thursday.

I fully intended for Mega Man 11 on PS4 to be my next instalment in the series whenever the mood took me, but when it did I had my Switch turned on and through sheer laziness I fired up Mega Man 6 to get my fix instead. I guess finishing 1-5 almost back to back has improved my game, but this feels a...

Starlink, with toys, is now down to £12.99 for all platforms on Amazon. And I thought the £17 I paid on Switch was a bargain!

My original Game Boy died last year, and more recently my GBA SP’s backlight has gone, so I’ve been in the market for some kind of replacement. In May I eventually ordered the new BittBoy Pocket Go with £28 of low-risk birthday money, and it’s arrived. It’s a similar form factor to the original GBA,...

Before I was even aware of Donkey Kong, I had a game called Crazy Kong on the VIC-20 which I adored. It was purely down to the box art that I ended up with this relatively decent version because there were several Crazy and Krazy Kongs around of greatly varying quality. Much like Scramble and Skramb...

Wow. I had a quick go on Aria of Sorrow earlier, but wasn’t expecting to see it being discussed here. Didn’t get far, was just seeing where I’d got to years ago. which wasn’t far either! Finished Final Fantasy 7 on Switch. Wonderful story which I knew nothing about in advance so the twists and turns...

Been playing Cadence of Hyrule and im obsessed with discovering it all. Ironically, I would have been too if Crypt of the Necrodancer hadn’t been so cheap. Once it clicks it’s fantastic, but it’s definitely not the Necrodancer game I was planning on buying this week! Finished SNES Pilotwings on 3DS...

Enter the Gungeon is the latest freebie on the Epic Store.

I heard Super Mario Land mentioned the other day and couldn’t resist digging it out. Still love the way that game plays, and it might be short but the environments are fantastic. The final section is still a bugger though! I was really spoilt the day I got that and Tetris with my Game Boy - portable...

Just home and caught up with everything I missed. Mana collection got me going but £34.99 a bit pricey when I’ve got Secret of Mana barely touched on the SNES Classic. Definitely buying the Contra collection and Wargroove in the Switch E3 sale before I go to bed. Crypt of the Necrodancer also tempti...
