Been playing on the Switch on the past couple of days mostly Mario Party Superstars but also Mario & Sonic 2020. The retro mode on the latter reminds me of the old Konami Track & Field/Hyper Sports probably down the announcer sounding like bad quality samples which is a nifty touch and the old school feeling especially with the diving and clay shooting (much easier to control though). Have noticed that the Sonic Mega Drive sprites clash with the NES style that's pretty much near everything else making it a bit jarring. Really need to get around to ripping Hyper Sports actually...
Says something when button mashing is getting pretty difficult to do especially rapid presses... Some minigames literally lose within a couple of seconds in Superstars.
Also tried Valiant Hearts, the WWI puzzle platformer adventure type of game. It has a lovely presentation (as per the UbiArt games) but had problems playing literally from the hill run part onwards. Ploughed through, got stuck and it went.
Outside of the Switch, did play on Dark Sector on the 360 as in the FPS where you have a spinning throw weapon. Did play it years ago on the PS3 (but wasn't as smooth and looked a bit worse) and remembered the graveyard level with the gorilla at the church boss.
