“Even after artificially raising their hopes for a universal machine then releasing a late, overpriced, absurdly slower model and charging ludicrous sums for late, incompetently-converted games, such as, for example, Wave Race, Britain remains tenaciously eager! What could we possibly do next that’s more fun? Wait! I have it. We’ll delay the PAL Yoshi’s Island until 2002 and call it Hands Up! I Have A Gun – Put The Money In The Bag. Surely not even they will stand for that.”

An entertaining review for Lylat Wars<\/i>‘ UK release (“as we must now teeth-grindingly call Starfox 64<\/i>“) by Jonathan Nash. Alongside oodles of lovely screenshots, it includes Fox McCloud’s very British journal entries across the various planets, lots of griping about Nintendo’s UK releases, and of all things, a sub-vs-dub argument on the English translation. You half expect him to complain they didn’t leave the honorifics in.<\/p>\n
