I have the transparrent one and it’s a wonderful product. The SNES classic was good, but I hated the black boarders around the image. The Super NT enables me to stretch ghe image to the top and bottom of the screen, as well as multiple options for scaling, scanlines and other good stuff.

@_Matt_: It was one of the best technical showcases for the system when it launched and still is now imo. Kid Icarus: Uprising is the only other game I can think of that pushes the 3DS as hard as Revelations.

Almost as hyped for it as I was for Galaxy 10 years ago. I just hope it gets tough. A lot of the previews have said that what they played offered little in terms of challenge, bur I'm hoping they played early game stuff.

Overall it's great, but I'm getting random dips to 40-30fps at 4K on my GTX 1080. Also the cut-scenes don't run smoothly and their audio is way too loud. Still, it's one of my favourite games from last gen so I'm not too bothered.

Switch feels like something really special. I love being able to take it with me to the kitchen when I need to cook, or to the toilet when I need to answer a call of nature or to bed when I want to sneak in a quick session of Zelda before bed. I also love taking the joycon out and putting them back in. It's a fun thing to interact with. Switch is not just a box that blends in with your entertainment centre to an extent where you kind of forget it's there. It has character.

Oh yes please. Vanquish is one of my favourite games from last generation. Was so much fun sliding on the floor and shooting robots in the face.

I'll always remember Street Fighter II: Championship Edition. It was the first 2D fighter and the first SNES game I played. I recall being amazed how the tempo of the track changed as the fight progressed, and by the soundtrack in general actually. It started a love for fighting games that continues to this day.

Similarly Donkey Kong Country blew my mind when I played it. My brain couldn't comprehend how a game could look and sound so good. My mind was blown even further when I heard aquatic ambiance for the first time. I was around 8 years old and was so moved by it I had to hold back tears while my friend was playing it. It was the first music that moved me in such a way.

It's a strange one for me. A new console being backwards compatible is always a huge selling point to me, but I rarely actually use the feature. I played Wii games on my Wii U maybe twice. The only exception to this rule is my launch model PS3, which is somehow still going today. I use it to play PS2 and PS1 games quite a lot.

There's not much there, but what is there is very good. I've bought Breath of the Wild, Snipperclips (fantastic co-op), World of Goo (one of my all-time favourites) and Shovel Knight: Spector of Torment. That's more than enough to keep me going for a fair while yet.

The only thing I will complain about is the lack of virtual console, but apart from that I am satisfied with the software lineup on Switch.

What's truly remarkable is that despite it being an open-world game I have not once seen a character glitch out and pull me out of the experience. The physics are also remarkably solid and always behave in a logical and realistic way. In Breath of the Wild everything just works as you'd expect it to.
