I hate you people for making me do this, but it's not Demons, Demon or Demons', it's Demon's Souls.

Drives me mad too Paul, don't worry.

I would've assumed Demons' without looking. Doesn't seem to make sense if it's one demon (unless it's someone called Demon).

I know what it's called, juts don't care to be so precise. I leave iPhone to correct what it pleases.

Gradius Rebirth maybe.  You enjoyed Darius 2 the other day so perhaps you're in the mood for a scrolling shoot em up.

Gradius Rebirth in nice and quite short. But I'd say only Gradius/shooty fans will appreciate it.

Done.

Another great little throwback in the criminally underrated Rebirth series.

The worst of the three only because of the strange exclusion of a co-op mode. Would be on par with the Contra one if it was included. Caslevania is obviously the best

Captain Toad is still being played, slowly by surely, we'll get there.

Not feeling Lost Winds 2 atm, might finish Punch-Out!! next.

That's good mate.

I always brought more than I played in my adult/disposable income days. It was at its worst in the 6th Gen, to the extent it backfired and I didn't end up enjoy much at all from that generation.

After a lot of years of culling and catching up I'm finally at a manageable level.

I forced myself to do it before really getting into the PS4 and it's worked a treat. I'm currently playing DOOM on that and will pick up (one at a time) The Last Guardian, Uncharted 4 and Mafia III.

Now the great thing is I picked up DOOM for £15 and by the time I finish it the three games above will be a similar price. Rinse and repeat.

Games drop in price so quickly these days I don't see the point in paying full price for the most part*, it makes more sense to be 3-6 months behind.

Back when I was at my worst I'd have had all three of those games plus more on the shelf with receipts inside for £40 a pop, waste of money.

* I still have a few day ones I can't resist.

That's the beauty of it. Don't worry though i wasted a lot more of my disposable income on 'audiophile hi-fi' bullshit now there is a con waste of money if ever there was one.

Swords and soldiers got a wii u port and often goes for very little. I prefer it over the sequel.

I only played it nofriendo and had a great time with it.

Punch-Out!! done.

Turns out I was on the last fight, kinda.

I was on the last title defence, against Mr Sandman. So bloody hard, took me about 2 hours and tons of defeats before winning.

After that you go on what's called 'Mac's last stand', which basically is an endless career mode which ends after 3 defeats which Mac has set as his retirement, upon which you get the real ending. Very cool!

In this mode you face Donkey Kong as a nice bonus.

I didn't last long against him, as the save files for the game kindly reminded me the last time I played was November 2009 (adult life really is flying by) so I was extremely rusty.

In the last stand I only won an additional 2 bouts before I lost three, thankfully DK becomes unlocked for exhibition fights. I fought him after losing about 20 times before toppling the big Ape.

Absolutely incredible game, by far the best Punch-Out although I'm a sucker for originals being the best, so that NES game will always be on a pedestal.

A personal 10/10 and easily one of the best Wii games.

Exactly the same as you mate, gave up on the motion after a few fights.

It worked well enough but standard controls are better.

Would love to try it with the balance board though.

Loved NES version. Liked the SNES version. Loved the Wii version.

I haven't completed title defence yet. Have only played it with motion controls up until now. I've briefly tried the balance board option. It is fucking knackering.

I liked it. It just wasn't as good as the NES version. The Wii version feels like an update to the original, leaving the SNES game as an offshoot of the series. The SNES version is more like a port of the arcade game.

The SNES version, while good, has very few random elements, so most fights can be played to a set pattern.
