Is Wipeout 2097 better than Wipeout 3 y/n?
Also are either better than the Wipeout games on PSP? I believe you can either get all the PSP ones on PS5 separately or as a big gigapack or that was a romhack I saw. (Or both)
I'm finding tracks quite narrow in 2097, in the sense that I keep colliding with the people I hit with my missiles and end up not actually overtaking the racer. :clown:
Also been playing a fair bit of Crash Team Racing lately and I was watching a video from GVG (love Jon Cartwright) and they seemed pretty unanimous in saying Diddy Kong Racing is better than Mario Kart 64. I tried both out, Diddy for the first time and…I can see it, CTR better than both though.
2097 is great but I prefer Wipeout 3. PSP Wipeout Pure would be perfect except the higher speed classes are ruined by electro volt often inverting your steering which fucks you up twice (when it starts and when it corrects). Pure had 20 dlc tracks too, some of which were fantastic. I have no idea if they are still available anywhere.
There are more of these than I remember, including a Vita one apparently! That's pretty cool.
The Vita game was excellent. Wipeout Omega on the PS4 too.
Was the Vita game the one with zone mode? That was the best Wipeout has ever been, I reckon.
The Vita game (2048) was great but it was included in the Wipeout Omega Collection on PS4 so don't spend money buying it twice or anything.
Zone mode has been in Wipeout since Fusion on PS2. It is fantastic though.
Diddy Kong > Mario Kart > all other kart games.
I only played CTR in the th'e last 3 or 4 years but there seemed absolutely nothing standout about it to me, a solid 6/10 sort of effort, slightly better than stuff like Looney Tunes Space race but not by much.
Wacky Races on Dreamcast is ace.
That's all.
Yeah big fan of that. I actually bought the followup on PS2 at the last games market I went too but haven't tried it yet.
Speaking of game markets, I went to one on Sunday about an hour from my place in Frankfurt. Pretty happy with my haul:

I could have also got mint condition copies of Mario Party 5, 6 AND 7 (with the microphone too!), but I didn't have an extra €75. Maybe next time. Sad I couldn't get JP copies of Wave Race or 1080° (love me those cardboard sleeved boxes), but the ones I got will do.
Surprised I got a minty copy of Manhunt too… it was censored in Germany and is hard to find at decent prices. The guy had two copies just sitting there on the table: one was a perfect disc in a shit box, one was a perfect box with a scratched disc. Quite impressed he was okay with me swapping them over to get the best of both worlds. 
Is that GBA to GC link cable?

Aye. I thought I had four, but apparently I only have three. How can I play Four Swords properly without another one?! It was the only thing on my Must Buy shopping list when I went.
I have two somewhere and don't recall what I actually purchased them for now. Might have to dig them out and have a go at that with my kid in the summer as it's the sort of thing she would love.
I only played a bit of Diddy but it seemed good, why is it so beloved though? Also am I going to bounce off Valkyrie Profile for the like, 5th time? Probably yes, but Lenneth is so fucking cool man I wanna' play! ;(

Trying for the life of me to remember what else they could be used for… the only thing that springs to mind is visiting the desert island in Animal Crossing though.
Nah had never heard of that at the time! Having had a look about I can only imagine it was for Wind Waker. I have a vague memory of that.
Oh, the Tingle Tuner! Yeah, so you can find the hidden treasure and save time hoarding rupees for the Triforce maps… I remember that.
