IGN gave it 7 out of 10, docking it points for "not being modern". I would have docked it points if it WAS modern.

Oh I know, I'm delighted. This will be an instant buy for me. Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the IGN review. I very nearly purchased the physical version with Limited Run Games but heard bad things about their customer service so gonna go digital.

I don't think it's ridiculous and they're far from the only site to mention it. It depends what perspective you're coming from. If you want pure old-school, then you're laughing. The IGN review isn't the one I'd be critical of. I've no time for Limited Run Games either.

Thankfully im just looking for pure old school
I've never purchased from Limited Run. Is it just the customer service that you have issues with too or is there something else I haven't heard?

Port Royale 4 - Beta Trailer (US)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kfF9LLQEPo

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7kfF9LLQEPo

Port Royale 4 sets sail on maiden voyage with first gameplay trailer: Pre-purchase, Closed Beta and Release Date Announced:

Port Royale 4 will launch for Windows PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on September 25th 2020. However, starting today, the closed PC beta for Port Royale 4 is available now upon pre-purchase exclusively in the Kalypso Store.

Port Royale 4 is available for pre-purchase on the Kalypso Store in two variants: a Standard Edition, which includes the base game on release and full access to the closed beta, and an Extended Edition, which adds a digital soundtrack and exclusive in-game bonus content.

About Port Royale 4:

Set sail and join the colonial powers of Spain, England, France and the Netherlands in their fight for supremacy of the Caribbean in the 17th century. In Port Royale 4 you will take control of a colony as a young and ambitious governor, eager to learn what it takes to manage and grow their small settlement into a bustling trader city.

Develop production chains connecting multiple islands and create complex trade routes across the Caribbean, covering the ever-growing needs of the respective cities. Make use of the detailed sea map to avoid stormy weather regions, cliffs or shallow waters. Fulfill tasks for your nation’s viceroy, earning more fame to unlock town buildings, ships and more. Conquer the cities of rival nations or hunt down their fleets with a letter of marque while also keeping a keen eye out for pirates and other privateers.

For the first time in the series, naval battles in Port Royale 4 will be turn-based, with up to 8 ships battling at one time and tactical captain maneuvers that can turn the tide in even the most hopeless of situations for a glorious victory.

I really want Streets of Rage 4 and Switch would be my preferred platform but I have also got XBox with Game Pass, and apparently it's releasing on that on some regions today also.......
I'm still really tempted to get it on Switch as that's what I play by far the most

I'm in the same boat. Have it downloaded on Xbox already but to be honest I'll probably never play it there. So I'm probably gonna shell out the €22.50 for the Switch version. My mates will have it on Switch too so that's an added bonus for online.

To add to this, I just got an email from them.

Digital Codes are starting to be sent from May 7th.

Physical Copies and rewards are delayed until June due to Covid-19 - the general retail release was pushed back to end of June for the US, and early July for EU. They said there is a chance that backers may not get their copies until after general release too, depending on the distribution networks.

But we get a free steam code to use while we wait...

I have this for PS4. Absolutely love it. So relaxing and has that Trials feeling where you're always trying to break your top speeds at checkpoints. But it never feels difficult, just that you're doing it incorrectly. The amount of different routes for trails is brilliant and so tempting to try.

Can't recommend it enough.

Whats do you find the best steering mechanic is, the screen based is a bit tricky i find then I tried left and right and found that harder

Ok, one for the deku deals wishlist and SA shop when it goes on sale!

One Of The Worst Asset Flips Of All Time Is Now A Nintendo Switch Game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFQjO9ToY1c

https://youtube.com/watch?v=oFQjO9ToY1c

This is almost funny(I did laugh), infuriating and a bit worrying.

It's Jim Sterling, so expect a tonne of foul language in the video.

pixelburp

*shudde* Asset flips are so dishonest, and went a long way to making Steam the purveyor of shovelware it kinda became (not that the e-store is that much better at times)

Doctor Who game heading to Switch in 2021

https://nintendowire.com/news/2020/05/11/doctor-who-game-heading-to-switch-in-2021/

There isn't really a whole lot of information on the game other than the headline.

pixelburp

I've heard the VR game was actually pretty decent. Would love to see a proper, decent Who game; RPG, puzzle adventure or something vaguely open world maybe.

chrislad

Has there ever been a good Doctor Who game? I remember the cheap looking 2D platformer a while back.

Dr. Mario ? Kinda like Tetris but never played ...

Mr E

What The Golf is out next week. The Switch version includes a 2 player party mode and there is a 25% early birdie discount (€15)

I've heard great things about this game.
