So re5 is good but confusing me. The chainsaw dude who I could take out with 1 grenade and a few shotgun blasts in Re4. In re5 I threw 4 grenades and 4 incendiary grenades, and then I had to pile on multiple shotgun blasts just for the one chump. Wtf? And the enemies whose heads explode who you could deal with, with a few well placed pistol shots, I shoot more than several times with a shotgun and they still don't die? Wtf? Sheva has also become a huge pain in the ass literally standing right in front of you unless you drag the laser to actually touch her. She wastes ammo and then complains that she needs ammo. She runs into the screen like a desperate dog who won't leave you alone for 1 second. The only benefit she has is that I can use her to carry items. On that issue is there anyway to expand your inventory? I'm always running out of space and have to dump herbs I could have stashed. The game started fairly difficult and now I seem to be breezing through areas. Maybe it's because I played Re4, then 6,im using the Re4 tactics of bottlenecking them. On the game as a whole the combat is decent, near close enough to Re4 but there is nothing memorable here. I can list Re4 setpieces endlessly, that stick in my mind over a decade later. Here it's all corrugated roof shanty towns. I guess there will be a lab (there always is)

I really should send my joycons in for repairs. I just get so lazy with those kind of things.

Never played Sunshine before so really looking forward to finally playing it. Mario 64 and Galaxy are just amazing games anyway.

Woo!  Can't wait, two weeks from now. I'm sure I'll do download only.

Sunshine is great, except the camera.  It's shit.  Hopefully they tweaked it.

Maybe Galaxy 2 will be included in the next volume with Super Mario 3-D World.

I wonder what the second collection would be. Galaxy 2, 3-D World and 3-D Land?

Anyway, that's a nice little collection. Very surprised that it's coming out later this month. That's still means whatever is coming out for the holidays hasn't been announced yet.

Prime Trilogy? I would definitely purchase that but I'm not optimistic that it'll be a brand new game.

I think that entirely depends on when Prime 4 is coming out. I would imagine they'd want that released the same year as the new installment to reintroduce people to the series.

On that note, I really should pick that up for the Wii U at some point while I can still get it.

Actually they are releasing 3-D World as a stand-alone next year. It has some kind of bonus content add-on called Bowser’s Fury. They showed this off during the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct today.

Also Super Mario All-Stars is getting added to the Switch Online SNES library later on today.

Mario battle royale!!!! That's awesome.

I am very torn on this clearly overpriced bundle. Minimal enhancements, missing SMG2, $60, ehh. Well the ease of use and portable is very tempting. Also these assholes are going to remove the game in March so it will never drop in price and you are pressured to getting it now. Not sure to just stick with emulator...

3D world though looks like it will have a lot of new content, I'll get that.

If you'd like a physical copy of 3D All-stars, looks like Best Buy is the only place currently doing pre-orders in North America. I just ordered mine and it comes with free day-1 shipping.

I’m definitely going to preorder the physical version of Super Mario 35th Anniversary Collection myself. Also looking forward to playing that Mario battle royal game.

Saw the N. Direct. Good collection, I would have bought Galaxy HD by itself. To me it's still my favourite game of all time. Mario 64 needs some love, a full on graphics remake. Zelda gets fancy new versions, no love for Mario? Galaxy 2 being missing I don't mind given you're getting 3 classic games. But it worries me if, or in what format galaxy 2 will be released in. I'd actually love some of these games on Switch, particularly 3D world as I then have a 4 player Mario I have 4 controllers for that I can easily take to the nephew's.

However if its a choice between buying a new game like Paper Mario Origami King or this collection I choose the new game. For the moment (will I ever buy Astral Chain?)
