To this day it still sounds like he is saying the naughty word to Eggman's robots when performing his punch attacks. It's definitely not ship he's saying I know that much as it sounded like that too rather than shift 😅

I've tried speedrunning Mario games many times and I can tell you it isn't easy. Off topic...sort of but when I was in Hospital for high blood pressure caused by COVID my heart rate peaked at 210 BPM and they had to give me strong medication to get it back to normal, it was horrible so I can just imagine how this guy was feeling going after a world record.

I'm no legal expert but I do think the current Lawsuit with Nintendo will have significant ramifications going forward. Developers could become too wary to pursue ideas that might be too similar but I guess only time will tell. I just know the more I keep hearing about these Lawsuits the more I dislike Nintendo as a Company.

I only got Ecco the Dolphin for the Mega CD and Sonic CD as they were the only games being sold where I live at the time.

I would absolutely like to play the classics again. I started playing Tekken 1 on the PS1 but it wasn't until Tekken 3 I really got into the series.

If they're old games that are no longer available then absolutely they are going too far. If they're emulating games available now then no.

It was just a fighting game to me back then and nothing else so I never thought of it like this and tbh I still don't really think of it like this today. Regardless I don't really care either way.

I store most of my old gaming stuff in plastic crates in the Attic. I recently took down my Spectrum ZX and Commodore 64 to test them out and they're still ticking along with the games. I feel so sorry for this guy 🥺

I still own this and the second game to this day. I remember the controls being rather sluggish though but one thing I really liked was the in game music. I remember the last boss in the extra 5th Island drove me nuts because I didn't know how to damage him and when I found out you just had to hit the 5 Beany Gongs at the same time I laughed so hard.

Ahhh would love to go to something like this here in Ireland. I have the Pikachu N64 seen in the YouTube video Thumbnail.

Sheesh I'm so glad I downloaded all classic Nintendo Emulators and games onto my Mobile devices when I did. I like to play all classic Pokèmon games along with the Sonic Advance and Rush games. I enjoy Sonic Battle as well.

I only download ROMS of old games I own.

I only got the 32X (which I still have) for Knuckles Chaotix. No regrets.

I've never heard of this but an interesting read all the same. I personally would love to see a Prince of Persia type game set in Ancient Japan.

@Guitar_bard Thank you for your kind words I appreciate it.

@Stocksy Such nonsense. They just wanted to see if they could complete the challenge themselves and they did. Like the 13 year old they too have unbelievable skill.

I just found out the Boy lost his father a month before. I had no idea and hearing this made me burst out into tears as I too lost my own dad to Cancer in 2015 and I'm still grieving for him to this very day so I know what it's like. My sincere sympathies go out to the family.

People are really overreacting here. There's people right now being bullied and nobody cares at all. Meanwhile you get this and everyone loses their mind.

@BeefSanta I didn't say it was a "me" problem and well you know it but thank you for basically skewing everything I said to fit your own narrative. People can play how they like but if they're just too good it can be off putting.

@BeefSanta He has a point though. For the average Joe who just wants to play competitively to get better but not to the point of being God like Players like this, I'm not referring to this kid here btw I mean very good Players in general turn Players like me off completely.

Be interesting to know when he becomes an adult will he be able to pull this off again? I expect with work getting in the way and other adult responsibilities it will be considerably harder.

@LordPieFace You live in the U.K why do you care what I think? it doesn't matter what I think. I lose a lot of HP when somebody tells me what they think they know. The language as a whole is dead, nobody when I was in school was interested in learning it I wasn't interested in it.

I didn't respond because I'm talking about Irish on a global scale so yes it's true. I live in Ireland I was born here so don't tell me what I don't know.

I don't mind CEX but when I see them selling items like second hand 3DS games for €140 that's where I start to question their way of doing things.

Irish is a dead language though but I admire this person's dedication. Still though an unusual choice considering very few people speak it. Being Irish myself it makes me feel like an outsider sometimes in my own country.

Looks really nice for sure but given how expensive it is I'll be sticking with my Steam Deck.

@Damo Those were good days.

I bought this game for Dreamcast on launch day. In fact I was only playing it last night and it holds up surprisingly well considering its age.

I wouldn't play that dreadful game again even if I was offered 1 million euros.

@Guitar_bard Thank you for your kind words.

An interesting read. I always remember being the envy of my friends at school because I would always buy or rather my parents would always buy them because I was just a kid back then, I was envied because they always bought me both a Nintendo and Sega Console. I miss my dad, he passed away in 2015 of Cancer 😥

Speak of the devil I was only playing the original Saturn version on Saturday and it still holds up surprisingly well.

I remember getting mine with Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage for Christmas the year they came out. Best Christmas ever.

I loved Souls games back in the day but as a 45 year old who works 6 days a week I no longer have time for them and tbh I play games to unwind and relax not to be stressed out like what these games used to cause. I'll go home alright and honestly it genuinely really gets under my skin when someone says "git gud"

Yeah sorry I've got something called a life.

Ahh yes The Revenge of Shinobi the game where Batman and Spider Man appeared in the same game along with a skeleton Dinosaur. It was such a weird game but despite that I went back to it time after time just so I could hear the brilliant OST that played during boss fights.

Was only playing that last night and while I do like the game the amount of bottomless pits and instant kill traps really puts me off going back to it compared to other Sonic games. Then you have the Special Stages and tbh I have no idea what the developers were smoking when they made the 6th and 7th one but it had the worst level design I have ever seen.

Still have this game for Game Gear today.

Man this brought me back. I used to watch this show on Channel 4 all the time. It wasn't quite the same in my opinion when Patrick Moore left but at least there was The Sky at Night with him in it.

I never played this but I did play Sega Rally 2 on Dreamcast though.

I bought this game on PS3 at launch. I still have it today and it holds up really well.

I personally enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 3 the most but unlocking the Stealth Camouflage was a huge pain in the neck though. Trying to find those little frogs was just awful and put a damper on the whole experience, well at least I think it did.

Ecco the Dolphin Defender of the Future Metropolis Street Racer Fur Fighters to name a few are Dreamcast games I played a LOT when I was young.

Oh I just want to say I wish the Staff here the very best. I've been a long time user and lurker of Nintendo Life going as far back as 2007. I've always appreciated the work all of you do here, I just wanted all of you to know this. Ofc the same applies to the Staff of Push Square and Pure Xbox too.

@PcTV Reading your statements I think you are being a little harsh.

Pretends to be shocked

@sanderev That's why I refuse to give these people a penny.

I'll stick to my PC Phone and Tablet thanks. I can play the games I legally own on those devices at 2 or 3K resolution.

Ahh yes my friend used to have the Amiga 500. This wouldn't be for me as I gamed on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum ZX but my friend would love this.

@carlos82 Quite a lot of them but regardless of what resolution they run at I just personally don't think it's worth spending money on this if you have a perfectly good Smartphone already. If this is for you sure no worries, it just isn't for me personally.

Also yes I know.

@PhhhCough What? nobody is getting triggered here people are just having a civil discussion. I certainly wasn't getting triggered by anything at all.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Doesn't bother me personally and tbh I've never had much of an issue with touch controls playing Mobile games if the screen size is big enough. I suppose those with a smaller screen I can understand their dislike of them.

@ParadoxFawkes Couldn't agree more. I also game on my Tablet and the screen size is great. This thing looks dreadful if I was being totally honest.
