DK Jungle Beat is way way better than any platformer controlled with a set of bongos has any right to be.

It was a real pity that DK Bongo Blast got cancelled and turned into DK Barrel Blast on the Wii, ditching the Bongo compatibility.

Not me, but just saw this Arlo video.
I wonder who here can relate.

With Mega Man having his anniversary just recently I got the Japanese Rock Man 5 in 1 collection aka Mega Man to us in the west. Five games with Mega Man 1-11 and Megan Man X 1-8 all collected in one nice box set with room for this years Mega Man Zero/ZX collection. I sort like these kinda old video game collections and when Zero/ZX gets released I'll have 25 Mega Man games in one nice box set which is kinda nice.

It's a great pity that the Megaman/Rockman games on the Gameboy never got the compilation release they deserved.
Apparently it was developed but never released.

Just got the yellow Pikachu 2ds XL from Amazon France. Love it. 148 quid new, delivered which is a bit OTT but cest la vie. I still think the dual screen has a lot of merit to it.

Also got some 2nd hand games from GameStops recent 1/2 price offer. Bit annoyed that 2 of the games don't have the original covers, and that wasnt clear at purchase time.

Luigi 3 for switch and a Celica amiibo earlier this evening.

My daughter says I need professional help.

RobbingBandit

Ah the professional help is worse sometimes was going through a very dark time in 2013 and a fubbin doctor treating me for a very significant issue asked could I get them GTA V for PS4 what we do in comparison is nothing.

Am I the first here to admit to buying Ring Fit Adventure?

Dude I would love to get it, I played a ton of all the Wii Fits. 75 euro is steep though. How is it?

CastorTroy

Well it's a nice square box. Just bought it this evening
Do have to laugh at the fact that while the PEGI rating is 7, the USK rating is 0. Clearly the Germans start earlier.

Isn't it the best selling switch game at the moment in Japan ....maybe new year resolution stuff. But it looks like something that'll have legs and keep on running for years

CastorTroy

Yeah and it was sold out everywhere until this week I think. Smyths just got it back in.
Maybe bandwagon jumping but like a lot of people, I was joking about it when revealed but since hearing it's meant to be a decent workout with the game giving you incentive, I figured I'd try it

CiDeRmAn

Just picked up G-Loc from the Japanese eShop for just under a tenner, it's pretty cool.
Also, Panzer Dragoon, following the Direct today.
However, I have to say, I prefer the original on.the Saturn, as nice as the new visuals are they just drain the original aesthetic and replace it with a more generic high fantasy theme that we've all seen a thousand times already.
Pity.

Quarantining should hopefully have a health benefit now :P

nintendoo

Got same in a huge box from Smyths.
Not sure if there is room to play this properly with my setup.
Might need another dock for sitting room.

Hopefully they produce more games that can use the same controls. Was thinking a beat em up might work well. Or a Zelda , Mario themed game...

CastorTroy

Didn't watch it, but saw a video online of a guy playing Dark Souls 3 using the Ring-con.

I got this as well. Did the exercise where you need to squeeze in and hold then release when told. Managed to do 101 but nearly died so I've enough Ring Fit Adventure for a few weeks :pac:

When you are fit enough you can fit the ring around your waist

If anyone has a tip on non-scalper prices for Ring Fit when it's available again, please post in the topic or PM me.

I've had all I can take of youtube workout routines.

I still have that in the wardrobe. Worrying about the mrs finding it and asking me how I paid for it is helping me sweat off the pounds.

Nice one. Had a go at Wii Fit the other day but this will be a good addition.

I was a sucker and bought this too. Currently on top of the wardrobe. Think I might need it soon - before my body seizes up completely

Looks like Smyths are doing a great job of securing Switch stuff. Or maybe Ireland has not reached peak Switch yet.

Don't buy it. It makes you look like a jackass and can make you hate anyone you play with.




Although I don't care because I'm the record holder in this house :pac:

RobbingBandit

I think Smyths cleared out their warehouse and are now sourcing stock from in the stores last week when the neon V2 switch popped up on the site it showed in stock in some stores.
