    Me too!

    We are Nintendo's target demographic, compelled to buy their most iconic games on every single format they are released on.

    If they released Ocarina of Time on the back-side of a pigeon, I would be making my way to Petstop to pre-book one!

    Decent price for CEX considering the game’s popularity. Fell in love with it there a couple months ago, such a ridiculously accessible epic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,218 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    People get way too much joy out of Nintendo stuff. 😁

    Best to stay quiet or the government will put an extra fun tax on Nintendo stuff. 😁

    First games I’ve bought for the Switch in a year. Although they’ll probably stay unopened for a bit as I’m back giving Breath of the Wild a second chance before the sequel comes out - not as irritating as I remember actually (other than the stupid rain).





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Bought Breath of the Wild Collectors Edition on adverts for €120 for shuts and giggles the soundtrack CD is **** epic



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,725 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Making up for lost time I guess, another new arrival. 🙂





  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    It's a lovely version of the game, feels like a window into a physical diorama.

    Pity they have yet to be inspired enough to do the same porting process to Link Between Worlds, Minish Cap and Seasons games.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,725 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    I’m guessing the only way to play the older Zelda games on Switch these days is via that online subscription thing? Not really interested in subbing to that tbh as EmuDeck on the Steam Deck has that base covered extremely well, same reason I passed on that Metroid Prime remaster.

    Links Awakening looks worth the purchase though, read they made some nice QoL improvements too. 🙂

    ^^^^

    Is that from Kitty's Kabin or the vape/sweet shop on Parliament Street? Must get them for my son if they're still available.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    PoP just arrived from Smyths this morning, along with other recent gets I've yet to start.

    Hah cheers! New keycaps are cheaper than a new keyboard. 😁

    Astral Chain & Metroid were from CEX - said I wasn't going to get Metroid since I can play it on the Steam Deck but got back to playing the Switch over the christmas break so said feck it and got it. Was playing some Pokemon Arceus but I don't think it's for me tbh so will switch to one of the above instead (no pun intended).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Damn you John Cena and JK Simmons just bought Mortal Kombat 1 in Smyths, can't wait to Finish Them with Peacemaker and Omni-Man €35 for the game will have to buy the character packs asap.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,012 ✭✭✭Mr.Saturn


    Let me know how the Switch version is doing after the latest patch, mildly curious about picking this one up for cheap to play it on the go.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Massive day one patch unfortunately I'll be trying to sort a memory card on Saturday to do it will let you know.


    It could be stick people for all I care though Omni-Man is God.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Not quite but almost Nintendo, I finally bought myself an Analogue Pocket, the best way to play your Gameboy, Gameboy Color and GB Advance cartridges, of which I have a lot.

    It compliments rather than replaces my original Nintendo hardware, but it is fantastic.

    It can also run other systems carts via adapters, so I must pick them up for my Neogeo Pocket games.

    Was in CeX yesterday to offload a couple of Switch games and the lady ahead of me in the queue was trading in her now adult son’s box of old stuff from the attic. Staff didn’t want to take the two Gameboy Advance SPs as they wouldn’t take a charge. “Do you want to have them” she says to me, “otherwise they’re going in the electrical recycling”. I say sure why not.

    Got them home and after a bit of coaxing to get the batteries to come out of deep discharge, lo and behold they still work fine. I missed this generation of Ninty hardware, so nice to add them to the collection. The Tribal edition is so very early 2000’s 😆



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Very nice indeed, is the pink one the model with the upgraded screen, the AGS101?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 550 ✭✭✭coffee to go


    Unfortunately no, they’re both AGS001 models. Beggars can’t be choosers 😁

    My new Nintendo arrived!

    The Alarmo!

    How long until Breath of the Wild is your most despised music?

    As a font it doesn't rock as hard as the Mario Odyssey theme.

    That said, Splatoon 3 is also in competition



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr


    .. I don't normally do pre-orders but for this one I made an exception.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,218 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    I the alarm clock looks nice.

    Next up, Nintendo toaster. Plays the down pipe sound when you insert the bread and the up pipe sound when the bread is rejected.

    I'll sell that idea to Nintendo for a few mill.

    Oh, I've never actually watched red dwarf. I know. One day.

    Its quite reminiscent of the lift in Hitchhikers Guide, the one in the Guides publishers, in the books.

    As a lift intelligence it was built with an awareness of the future, so it would always be at the right floor to pick you up.

    Unfortunately, when the building was under siege, it argued with Zaphod about going Up, dwelling on the possibilities of Down instead.

    Finally bought a physical copy of the Final Fantasy Pixel remasters, it was worth waiting and avoiding ordering it from PlayAsia with the premium that entails, got it from Amazon for normal game prices.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr


    I did the first 4 recently on PSP and have 5 and 6 ready to go on GBA.. is there anything different about these that would warrant getting the switch versions to play through them ?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I'm not familiar enough with them to say, I'm afraid



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Pre purchased the great Raiden Nova, the latest title in the best Shmup series of all.

    Can't wait, although it is digital, I will pick up a physical copy for the Switch at some point.

    It will join Raiden III, IV and V which I already have.

    I just wish they'd release the three Raiden Fighters titles too!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Quigs Snr


    Going through a shmup phase myself. About 30 years late. But this was an ebay purchase that arrived recently.

    I did not know about Raiden Nova, but it looks like trader games has it already for switch. Japanese only. Not like that will make any difference for a Raiden game.

    Is Mortal Kombat just a download code, or is it on a game card?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Mortal Kombat is a cart here, the cart needs a very large update though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,320 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Just bought via click and collect from CeX Unicorn Overlord for €60 really hope it is not a rhino when I collect it.

    That is one of my most prized possessions too, although I bought mine on its release.

    Also, I bought Raiden Dx and Raiden III, the former Japanese and the latter US, the benefits of a region free PS2.

    Such a great series.

    I was never as fond of the Moss titles though.

    I bought The Raiden Project in a Smyths bargain bin for something stupid like 7 Irish pounds back in the day.

    My mate at the time who worked there was laughing at me thinking I was wasting my money, I had the final laugh there it seems!

    My Raiden II PCB is going strong a decade or so later but my Raiden 1 PCB no longer works.

    I bought a Raiden Fighters PCB recently that appears to work on the surface but the sound is borked!

    Bloody PCBs are a bit of a nightmare. The sooner more of it gets on to MiSTer the better. (I reckon we'd have Raiden I, II, DX on it if it want for the MARs debacle)

    I missed Raiden on PS1 when it came out because I had at that time bought an Atari jaguar in a bargain bin at electronics boutique for 29.99 and Raiden was one of the only tolerable games on the system. Certainly one of the very few I actually played.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,218 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    Got Ori the Collection physical.

    Was the fact that Will of the Wisps was never coming to Switch that led to me getting an XBox One X on sale. And then Moon Studio did the impossible port. Don't have an Xbox anymore, so it's all come full circle.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Raiden Nova is terrible, very much a Vampire Survivors mold of a game, which is awful.

    Big disappointment

    I still can't believe that's what they did with the IP. What madman thought that would be a good idea?



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,716 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    Indeed, I have to play a couple of hours of Raiden DX to get the foul taste out of my mouth



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 894 ✭✭✭_Godot_


    I've picked up a good few Switch games this year.

    I got Picross e1 to e9 as downloads. I've already played e1-e8 on the 3DS, but they finally released e9 in English on the Switch, so I bought it, then bought the other Picross e games, as I think I'm a bit obsessed with picross games right now. They're a good pick up and play kind of game.

    I also bought (physically and not in exact order of purchase)

    Nier Automata

    Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

    Fire Emblem Three Houses

    Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes

    Fire Emblem Engage

    Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney trilogy (the Japanese version which plays in English, it was at least €20 cheaper)

    Apollo Justice Ace Attorney trilogy

    Ace Attorney Investigations Collection

    The Great Ace Attorney collection

    Persona 5 Strikers

    Persona 5 Tactica

    Final Fantasy pixel collection

    Final Fantasy X/X-2 (the Japanese version with both games on the card and it plays in English)

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
