needs more, theres going to be a limited amount of track you can do in almost any house and It doesnt work on short carpet (works, just super slow) wondering if it works well in dirt or concrete, at least then there would be fun setting up a lot of track options.

Legendary movie, controversial yet excellent trans
on June 20, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
While most people have been trashing the different color timing and digital noise reduction the fact is T2 has never looked better before. Usually when grain is removed you lose fine detail. Here the uptick on detail compared with all previous releases is significant. Yes, the movie looks different than the previous Blu-ray releases but does not deserve the harsh criticism it’s received.
Only the theatrical version is in 4K which makes sense because this is T2. Only the theatrical cut is canon. The extended cut is not a director’s cut. It is deleted footage which was cut from the film. While fans may like this cut footage it is obvious why Cameron felt it didn’t belong in the final cut. The alternate ending would’ve killed the possibility of any sequels. The added scenes also ruin the film’s excellent pacing.
But for those that enjoy the extended cut it is there on the included 1080p Blu-ray. It’s just not available in 4K.
Finally I want to thank the online forums that made it possible for me to pick this up for just $9.99. Without their “no DNR under any circumstances” fanaticism, I would’ve had to pay $20-25 for this copy.

Hello again 90s
on May 26, 2020
Posted by: JayG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the Crystal DualShock 4 version. The controller itself feels great to hold and operate like all other DualShock 4 controllers, but the top plate is translucent! This controller gives a strong 90s-electronic feel that any 90s gamer would appreciate. This controller is extra cool in the dark when the light bar illuminates the top part of the controller. The light does not bleed through the front of the controller, however. You can feel like you're back on your parent's couch in 1999 playing your PS1 again, just attach a 2 meter cable to your PlayStation from your controller to be extra authentic!

Great games and Pac-Man has never been better
on May 26, 2020
Posted by: JayG
Verified Purchase:Yes
The reason I purchased this is the Pac-man games, mainly the original Pac-man game, Pac-man was may favorite game back in the 80;s I was able to get to the 6th key which was my best game, after playing the original game on the Switch it's an excellent copy of the arcade version, all the patterns work exactly like they did back in the day, even the hiding place is there.
Now Pac-Man Championship version I wasn't sure about at first cause I never played it in the arcade version, but it takes Pac-man to a whole new level, more like Pac-Man on steroids! I fell in love with it after a while it's a the best Pac-Man game I've played and that's from someone that grew up loving the original Pac-Man.
For the other games Dig-Dug, Splatter House, Rolling Thunder I & II, Tower of Druaga, Tank Force, Sky Kid, Pac-Man vs. and let us not forget the two Galaga games is just as I remember it for me arcade, I mean the sound and the graphics are the same from the arcade. I did not care for Sky Kid even back in the arcade from the late 80's and during the 90's, I think the one I like the best is Rolling Thunder II you can tell from the artwork from the game that the old pinball machines had an influence on Rolling Thunder II this one held my attention more that the others.
Splatter House is my second favorite but a little more difficult than I remember but that's okay I going to really get into this one more, I had this one on my old Sega Genesis and I was so much better cause it gave you unlimited lives.
But Let us not forget Pac-Man Championship Edition is clearly the best game in the bunch, this whole bundle of games I really like cause it brings me back to the days that you could go to the arcade and just spend one quarter per game, so I had a great time with a few dollars and could spend a hour just getting away from everything.
Thank for reading my review.

Endless Fun for kids and adults alike...
on May 26, 2020
Posted by: JayG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’m not sure who was more excited for this release: me or my wife!
The gameplay here is pretty straight forward. You’re on an island, and it’s your job to build and populate it how you see fit. The level of detail and the amount of things that you can do is pretty staggering. And it’s all done with a level or adorable that is infectious, which given the times we find ourselves, is a much needed distraction.
All of the content is rated E for Everyone, and you won’t find anything offensive or objectionable in the game.
The controls are mostly very easy to use and quick to learn, even for kids.
The short version is that you combine resource gathering and management, with crafting new items, building homes, and customizing every detail of your community. From building waterfalls, to going fishing, and decorating the interior of your house. There’s a lot of detail in all of these things, and you’re free to create at will.
One of our favorite details is the day/night cycle which in sync’d the to Switch’s internal clock. So it’s morning in-game, when it’s morning in your timezone. It’s dark when it’s dark outside for you... you get the idea. It’s just a nice touch in-game.
You can also play online with friends, allowing others to enter your town and send them messages in-game. Likewise you can visit a friend’s island remotely, or in-person through local multiplayer.
Highly recommended!

There's Mario, Zelda and now there's Starlink.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is truly amazing and I'm shocked how well it runs and looks on the Switch. I probably wouldn't have got this game if it wasn't on the Switch but the Star Fox content had me at "Arwing." This game is MASSIVE, with lots to do, unlock and explore. The toys are 100% optional and to get the digital versions of the toys are just about 50% cheaper. So if you don't want toys, you save money. I personally think the toys make the game even more awesome. I'm so glad I didn't hesitate buying this game, it's my 3rd favorite Switch title right after Mario and Zelda.

Nice deal

I don't know what you can say about a machine that's been on the market for several years, that hasn't been said. The console seems to work fine. Set up was easy, so was connecting it to the web. The games as has been pointed out, are two vouchers, and one actual disc for The Last of Us. The controller works great, and feels good, but the battery life is awful. I could get a couple weeks of casual play out of a Xbone controller, with Enloops. The PS4 controller wanted a recharge after about 2 hours of use.
Good machine that I am happy with overall.

The Dual-Shock 4 Is Fantastic & Well-Constructed
on December 6, 2019
Posted by: JayG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I really think Sony's Dual-Shock 4 is a great controller for a lot of reasons. I've been an avid gamer, my whole life, and I've grown to appreciate something that's ergonomic, light, and responsive to my input.
There's a couple of minor gripes I have with it, but overall, I believe the good far outweigh the bad.
I love the touch-pad. It's a great example of a multi-use feature and it doubles as an extra button, which comes in handy as I, as well as the rest of hardcore gamers, I'm sure, can appreciate having another input to utilize for games that necessitate it.
The speaker doesn't really add anything to the deal for me because, generally, I wear headphones when I game so I can't hear the sound emanating from it when I play games that take advantage of the functionality.
But when I wear headphones from time to time the sound pops and crackles on occasion. The only thing that seems to fix this is when I plug the controller into the system, then the sound is fine.
That sole caveat aside, I like everything about the Dual-Shock 4. And that's about all there is to say.

Beautifully innovative, but may not be right for e
on December 6, 2019
Posted by: JayG
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have both a Nintendo joycon and a pro controller. I really enjoy the joycon as it can be split into two seperate controllers and be used by two seperate people, I think its extremely innovative. The rumble features in my opinion are on par with Sony and I have found the motion controllers to be very cool myself.
However, buyers should be aware this product does not come with a grip (essentially the piece that holds the two joycon in one controller frame). It's just the two individual pieces not attached. The grip is approximately an extra 15 bucks.
In addition these controllers are likely in addition to the pair that comes with the switch. These controllers do need to charge and the only way to do so is to have them attached to the switch console itself, which means you cant also charge the joycon that came boxed with the switch at the same time without another product.
If you're going to buy the extra joycon I would recommend either a charging grip (which can be plugged in via USB- c to a wall charger or a charge station.
I also recommend if you play more solo and less with friends to check out the Nintendo switch pro controller. This feels similiar to an xbox 360 controller and can also charge independently with a USB - c cable.

Makes a good game to play with family and friends
on December 6, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this game two weeks ago I'd I've had fun with it. It has enough content that I haven't seen any repeats yet. Wheel of Fortune play a little slow but it's still fun.
It hasn't changed much from previous consoles but it wasn't bad. It seems to have more content so you won't see repeats as in previous games.
Overall I'm happy and I can play with with my wife and other casual gamers. Online play could be better to bring more people online tlay with so 4 out of 5 stars. It's not Zelda or Mario so a realistic score is 4 stars for what it is.

99 players. Large-scale battles. Nonstop puzzle action. Use your skills and strategy to knock out the competition online and become the last player standing. With this purchase, you'll also receive a 12-month Individual Membership to Nintendo Switch Online, and members can look forward to competing in upcoming online events* to earn in-game themes or even My Nintendo~ Gold Points. In the 99 Battle mode, you can target opponents by sending them Garbage Blocks, but be careful, your rivals can target you back. Defeat opponents to acquire K.O. Badges that may give you the advantage on future attacks. More of a traditionalist? Then see how long you can last offline in the single-player Marathon mode. While offline, you can take on 98 CPU players all by yourself, take on 97 CPU opponents with a friend on one Nintendo Switch system, or face off with up to seven other players who have their own systems and games via local wireless connection. But for the ultimate in puzzle co-op, head online* for 49 players vs. 49 players team battles; the team with the most K.O. Badges wins.
