Went past a retro games store today and picked this up for a mere 600 yen! Take that, poor Wii U emulation!

That's awesome!

The best voice actors in the world get cast for so many different TV shows and games you're bound to have a favourite voice turn up in other places. Just in the space of two instances I listen to the Commander Shepard (female) (Mass Effect) and Lt Malcolm (Star Trek Enterprise) voices in WoW.

Malcolm Reed? Yeah I've heard that voice a few times.

The other day was watching The Expanse and one of the characters was speaking in Adam Jensen's (last two Deus Ex games) voice.

Fallout series has a huge list too - Liam Neeson, Michael Dorn (Worf,) Ron Perlman, Tony Sholhoub and Malcolm McDowell to start with, and the guy that did Cpl Strauss from Quake 4 showed up in a couple of episodes of Arrow.

Really disconcerting sometimes, takes me out of the narrative until I've worked out where that voice is from, but I guess that can't be helped

Bad news. Nintendo are apparently using Nvidia's last gen Maxwell GPU architecture for the Switch not the current Pascal architecture. Maxwell consumed more power per clock, ran hotter per clock and overall ran slower than Pascal. Bottom line it will not be as powerful as an Xbox One or PS4.

Don't know what people expected, was never going to be ps4 tier based on the handheld factor alone

Glad someone actually agrees.

[Trent]

People actually believed it would give a PS4 a run for its money?

That's why I'll have both

Anyone playing Mario Run?

S'ok. A bit of a fun time waster but I'd hoped for more.
