Yes, I know Cave Story has a few additions, like 'enchanced' graphics (that no one will use) and co-op. But is that worth nearly £30 more than the original price of, free? Not to mention the image at the top of this blog is taken from Pink Heaven - a game made by the same guy who made Cave Story!
And then we have games like Axiom Verge, bother physical releases, but £10 more on the Switch. Why? And then Sonic Forces as a £2 price difference, what's the point?
And Street Fighter? What is going? £38.95! Yes, charging more for a physical release makes sense if it's some collector's edition which actually comes with some nice collectable stuff - but it doesn't. And the Digital version is still £34.99? How? Why? Like, what is the reason?
Switch - just what the hell is going on?

- As N-finity would say, be well.

About Goemarone of us since 12:05 AM on 06.27.2017
The PSP and Monster Hunter stole away hundreds of hours of life and that's when I really started to look at Sony. I had missed great games like Okami, God of War (it was cool at the time), Gradius V and Metal Gear Solid
With the promise of Metal Gear Solid and Monster Hunter on the PS3 I snagged one as soon as I was able. In the long wait (and Monster Hunter jumping to Nintendo...) I picked up Uncharted. My god, what a game! And more followed - Uncharted 2 was excellent, Catherine, Rayman Origins, The Last of Us - man the PS3 was amazing. Yes I still played the 'essential' Nintendo titles (and spent hours on my 3DS when Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate landed - and 100s more on Generations) but the PlayStation had become my main shabang for modern gaming.
I'm also a huge retro fan. Having loved the games I played as a kid, and discovering the earlier titles in franchises I loved - but it was really when I got into sprite ripping and the world of emulation that I truly discovered all there was out there on offer.
