Is FIFA any good? Not sure I can be bothered putting time into it. I downloaded Neo Geo Super Sidekicks for quick blasts of arcade footy.

Is FIFA any good?

Yes and it’s 50% off at the moment in the Nintendo Store.

That Lynel in Zelda is a fucking asshole.

Best game I've played so far is the original Double Dragon.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 - early days but i'm enjoying it so far. Shame it's a download and I don't get a box to stick on the shelf though.

Football Manager 18 released on there today. Bit steep at £30 what with there being 5 league games left but one to note for next season. It's the Touch version so will be less intensive as the other versions.

[Furmedge]

Downloaded Double Dragon for a bit of nostalgia. Completed it in 20 mins. Erm, they don't make them like they used to.

 

£6.50 I'll never see again.

Lumines getting a remaster for Switch. Loved that on Vita.

Up to the 4th Devine Beast in Zelda now.

 

Is it straight to Gannon after that or are the more main objectives?

 

I’ve not really done any of the side quests yet, once I’ve done the Gerudo Divine Beast, I think I’ll do a few more of those of them.

[Scott_M]

Finished Zelda. Once I got the 4 Devine Beasts, I had get a few more Spirit Orbs to give me enough strength to get the Master Sword in Korok Forest and then onto Hyrule Castle.

 

What me made me laugh was there was such a big song and dance in the game about getting the 4 Devine Beasts and getting the Master Sword but, technically, you don't need any of them to finish the game. Although it'd be incredibly hard, it's theoretically possible to rock straight up to Hyrule Castle & defeat Gannon. All the dungeons in Hyrule Castle do is serve to make sure you've got enough weapons & food to defeat him.

 

You certainly don't need the Master Sword. I used it in the Castle but when I got to Gannon, I beat him with Bomb Arrows and your don't need it once you get outside the castle to finish the fight either.

 

Still, if you try that, your missing out getting lost in one of the greatest console games ever made. Absolutely brilliant game all round.

 

Bonus was I finished it in enough time to get it sold on eBay just in time to buy Donkey Kong on Friday.

Was this the Shock arrow fella?  Just did him the other day, bit of an arsehole.

Yes. He has a mate in Tabatha Tundra who just as big an asshole & then 2 more mates in Hyrule Castle - one was easily enough dispatched of, I had to run away from the other one!

[Funkasy]

i must have used 160 hours on Zelda and ive not killed Gannon yet, ive defeated all of the four "minibosses" but just havent bothered going for Gannon yet.

Think I met the tundra one randomly while exploring, there are a few others around the map with less HP, but I haven't managed any of them yet.  Looking forward to giving them a slap at some point.

He’s not that hard to beat to be honest.

And I won my 1st online race in Mario Kart tonight...only took me about 70 races.

 

What a time to be alive.

I'm seeing good reviews for the new Donkey Kong game. Is it a remake/remaster of the game on Wii U? Never played that but that received good reviews too.

[Funkasy]

Its the same game with a new character available that makes the game a little easier. Ive been told the original was very hard to beat.

[Scott_M]

Donkey Kong is pretty good. I don’t think it seems difficult. Unfortunately I think I’ll run through it pretty quickly, I don’t see me going back to get extra bonuses like Mario & Zelda

[Elite]

Is Rayman legends any good?

 

Seen a bundle with that and Mario Kart.

Thinking about it a bit more, Donkey Kong is a fine game, but it’s nowhere the same league as Mario or Zelda.

 

I suppose it was never going to be but seeing they are the only 2 games I’ve played since Xmas......it’s a bit of a come down.

It's a bit long in the tooth and it does get a bit samey but it's very good fun while it lasts.

[Scott_M]

Although World 1 was a breeze, the difficulty has certainly increased in World 2 of DKC.

Impossible. Impossible. The closest i've come to first was the other day when i was 2nd closing in on first near the end. I got hit by something (shell maybe, can't remember) and ended up finishing about 9th. 

 

It's impossible. Even if i've got a star other racers seem to be going just as fast as me without a star. I'll have a lap where i've got mushrooms and stars and will barely move up the rankings. Or you'll be bear the front and get taken out and will end up at the back. 

 

Battle Mode is different though, i'm pretty handy on that. Maybe it's more balanced, dunno.
