AlienX

Though I think PW's depiction in AJ made things far more interesting, the overall game didn't feel as good as the original trilogy and I think the characters are to blame, everyone is sort of an ass in this game. But I will admit seeing Ema in what was basically Gumshoe's role was really hype.

AAI:Miles Edgeworth ended up being infinitely better. And I feel this bears true for the characters too, Trucy in DD is basically an overrun joke, while Kay became a lot more likeable in the sequel.

Having played the GBA Fire Emblem games, I immediately went to buy this because it had Intelligent Systems in the boxart. Unfortunately, the game never grabbed me and it's my least played GC game to this day.

Should've gotten Path of Radiance back then, much regret.

Hi, I'm not a dev, nor youtuber, but I can tell you with my knowledge of not being a dev that anything will run on anything if you sacrifice enough stuff.

1.5/2.5 will not run on Switch at full resolution and frame rate, they are not simple PS2 games. SE has even said they were built from "scratch" due to missing sources. Anyone can deduce from this that if they want to make these games available on Nintendo, they have to start hackin' 'n slashin' away at the game, reducing assets, rewriting existing code, etc. This is a time consuming process and time as we all know = money.

Do you feel enriched by my knowledge that I've generously shared with you?

It's worth noting that despite being in Japanese, the Wii VC version featured minor changes to the game. The electronic manual included was basically a guide for the Japanese dialogue, unless I'm mistaking this bit for the Star Parodier release.

I was hoping for flappy yellow shoes or some kind of zipper reference.

Reminds me of an old Wii ad, that featured a girl playing Another Code: R, and I always thought, they got it wrong, that game wouldn't appeal at all to teenage girls.

I get similar vibes from this, it's more Nintendo pushing for older women to play these types of games but I don't think it'll make a significant difference.

I remember the hype with Other M, that cinematic commercial is a masterpiece.

This is the game you brag about to your friends that you're really good at.

Oh, hey man, I'm a master at xexex. Want to go for a few rounds?

I think Smash Ultimate really bears the title beautifully. If Nintendo comes out with another Smash it probably won't reach the same amount of hype but who knows?

Even Ultimate wasn't perfect, I think not having trophies/model viewer was a huge stepdown, the overload of music is also probably unnecessary. I would've put more focus on legacy Smash features, and eliminate the "echo" fighters, which gives the game an overcrowded, cheap feel.

The possibility of a simpler story mode based on popular characters would've gone quite a long way.

Even though I won't be buying Ultimate, since I have the superior DS version with the extra boss & friends and better level design, it's nice knowing Sonic still sells better on Nintendo.

Wasn't Unleashed like this? The lousy PS2 port the Wii was graced with ended up outselling the HD version.

Might as well post some of my predictions for tomorrow.

One of these I swear has to hit.

"and we can't believe we haven't ever noticed it before."

The most diehard fans don't play Sonic 1 so no one expects nintendolife to play it either.

I wasn't going to click this article, but things changed after I saw Junko in a bikini, so kudos for that.

This article is garbage, as a Nintendo/Mario fan and NintendoLife follower I am very disappointed that we still get "Sonic is terrible" articles over and over.

I play Heroes proudly knowing that it's a much better game than Sunshine was back in the GameCube's day and I still believe this to be correct.

Sonic Adventure is an incredible game to play even today, and I think anyone who enjoys exhilarating and diverse gameplay will still choose it over Mario 64.

I will gladly say Super Mario World is worlds above all the Genesis games combined. But Mario 64? Nah. And Sunshine has some bs that trumps even Sonic 06.

My favorite GC game is Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18. That's the one that comes with a full ROM of Mario Pinball Land for GBA.

I can't speak for Wii U but the 3DS NES Remix is literally just the VC emulator with a savestate collection. The emulator is tuned for r/w the rom and ram and has advanced conditional options to add post-processing for the flashing/pattern reduction or removal.

Stuff like adding animated backgrounds is a bit more involved but if you're experienced with making cheat codes, this is the same practice, you find where in memory the timer, the money, the hp, etc. is stored and that data is obviously present in the savestate. Then you modify an existing emulator to add your hooks. I'm saying even though this takes great effort and dedication it's not insanely difficult as it may seem.

Pokemon would be a surprise, if they enable linking, it would most certainly be sold separately at a premium price and whatever extra bells & whistles. Like FE1.

But who knows? Maybe they might just consider having the base game is enough.

Sonic DX and Sonic Pinball Party are the most mature Sonic games. Take that '06 haters!

I don't understand the humor, why Happy Feet? Why download a copy? It's a DS, it doesn't have a way of storing files?

Is this one of those ok boomer things?

Meanwhile Sonic Riders X is lookin' good, and affects Colors Ultimate sales in no way because fans who enjoyed Riders dgaf about the modern lackluster games.

I noticed youtube recommending me this, meh, doesn't yt know there's a superior version with better voice acting?

The algorithm fails once more.

Hah season 1 for me, too. The latino dub gives me chills. Great voice acting.

It's of the few Netflix shows where I'm fine with them only having season 1 available.

Oh the Nintendo costumes didn't make it, so I guess that means the Wii U version is the definitive version, just like Mario Maker with the mystery mushroom! No Babymetal for you! No Kirisaki, no Mega Man, no Sonic, you get nothing!

My SNES doesn't work anymore, the rf adapter may be broken, but I tried GameCube composite cables and it still didn't produce a picture nor sound.

It did provide a lot of good memories, I recall that when I was like 12 or something a friend called saying they were moving and couldn't take their games, so I was shown this bag where I just pulled cool games after another: Batman Returns, Super Star Wars VI, Street Fighter II, Star Fox, Yoshi's Island, black cartridge Killer Instinct (did not work so we threw it away) there were some bad ones, like Batman Forever but I still have them anyway. It was like living one of those dreams where you have access to everything.

I just remember picking up the Star Fox cartridge and being like, ew this puppet thing looks creepy, but because of playing Melee I knew it had to be something interesting.

Kraid looks gross but it's one of my favorite Melee stages.

Sonic Unleashed did it, but it's not my cup of tea, I think the guitar shredding/rockin' sound of SA1 is much more suitable for a fast-paced action game.

There's also the case of some tunes sounding worse orchestrated, like the epic Secret of Mana intro.

Button combos are bad, especially the ones that make you feel you should watch out for accidentally triggering. GBA did it best, there was no way to accidentally hit start+select. Flashback to GameGrumps' Super Mario Land ending, or lack thereof. Though they were using a SNES controller.

When was the last time Nintendo relied on such an archaic method? It's gotta be the Kirby collection on Wii, returning to the main menu required a reset so there was "no choice" but to use a combo for in-game reset because Nintendo, and adding a real menu is too much apparently.

This type of complex mod would not be currently possible had BOTW not come to Wii U. Think about that for a sec, the article doesn't even mention this is the Wii U version.

I instinctively read unknown words as if they were Spanish, fee, sure comes in handy when reading Japanese names.

In all the games I've played that featured Daisy, her 'personality' is just "hi I'm Daisy" with a smile that shines eternally.

An anime for FE The Sacred Stones would be a dream come true. Whether it adapts the game's story or provides small arcs for popular characters I think it would work to perfection.

Dream Daddy being on the same list as Famicom Detective Club bothers me in the worst way possible.

Ah weird, the Switch is missing the best one: Hotel Dusk.

@SpringDivorce Oh, it's basically the perfect game for children, there is practically no challenge, it's fairly short, and the story doesn't require any thinking, just "Eggman bad, defeat." With a joke here and there.

I played the first Sonic Adventure when I was ten in the early 2000s, so my personal suggestion would be to play SA1 instead, it's a wonderfully varied game that's just filled to the brim with details and content.

The intro felt very empty to me, I would've liked seeing some famous Japanese performers get the spotlight (Perfume, or Utada maybe) the Kabuki performance was ok but I can just imagine people outside of Japan just seeing it as weird or frightening.

It's just hilarious to me that after all those Mario and Sonic games now it's the one time Mario gets to have any relevance in the actual Olympic games and Nintendo backs out. Feels very Nintendo.

I'd like to say Seaside Hill, but most likely Emerald Coast because it's the best place to get rings for the Chao Black Market.

@Clyde_Radcliffe I've always hated that the jump from GC to Wii resulted in 30 fps for practically every Sonic game, even Unleashed despite being the same dumb game on PS2.

The storybook games have had a sort of reintroduction to my collection as it turns out the 60 fps patch works very well on a real Wii, guess Sega/ST felt like trolling or perhaps they simply didn't want any bit of slowdown.

Majora's Mask for sure, the jump from 20 fps to 30 fps is greatly appreciated, the graphics are fine for 3DS, but I especially like the gyro bow and arrow controls.

It made the game easier to play regarding saving your progress, and the only complaint would be the Zora mask, but otherwise it's an excellent remake.

OOT is much of the same but I found the original to still be quite enjoyable that you could skip on this remake. The visuals of the N64 version whether you play on a blurry N64 or sharp as nails Wii in 480p are still incredibly fitting to the themes of the game.

It's unfortunate Nintendo doesn't keep at least the 3DS active, I'm not interested in buying a Switch, all my modern games are on 3DS.

There are still too many games I haven't played yet, but the battery is showing signs of dying and the button stickers are all torn up, it's a bad situation.

I love having a perfect copy of Minish Cap next to A Link Between Worlds, can't have that on Switch.

When I heard Star Light I immediately thought Pokemon, I guess that was me expecting Nintendo to include something-- took me a second to realize it was Sonic, which is admittedly the closest thing to Nintendo in this playlist.

Sonic DX on the GameCube features all the Game Gear Sonic games, in much the same way Animal Crossing has NES games but is miles faster to start and play (once you've unlocked them) than in AC.

Of note: Sonic DX allows two instances of the game to display so two players can play their own run at the same time and "race" each other.

It also featured the games unmodified, unlike the 3DS versions that included edits in Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Blast, Labyrinth and possibly others.

It's also the entire collection, so it beats Gems Collection and 3DS VC in that regard.

Um, I have a Wii. It plays GameCube games. Who needs 50 GB ram, it plays GameCube.

I don't even consider it bad, more like mediocre, Sonic 06.

In 2005 I was in middle school, on a quest to play every Sonic game I could get my hands on, when the game got announced for everything except Wii, I had no choice but to give up on it. I would go to Compusa to play the Kingdom Valley demo and absolutely loved it: the visuals, the sound, being able to home on the rails, everything was different and more detailed yet felt very much like Sonic.

I kept watching youtube videos over and over and fell even more in love with the game. I have yet to play it, and the excessive hate it gets makes me even more eager to play it, but there's just no way I'll buy a 360 or PS3 just for this lame game, and Xenia can't run on my PC.

I love the gameplay, I think this is the best way to do Sonic in 3D, every game after 06 has been "Run, Boost, 2D section" while 06 feels more dynamic and varied.

A considerably large chunk of the arguments for why it sucks don't affect my view of the game, Silver is cool, Elise's relationship with Sonic isn't romantic, loading screens don't make the game, I think this one has been talked to death but intrusive glitches don't occur if you play the game as intended as I've seen in countless playthrough videos. The glitches make the game even more fun to replay.

My only real complaint is Eggman's terrible redesign, and the human characters looking extremely boring.

Oh, how generous to give away the digital version. I'll certainly give it a go. NES games are kind of beyond me but I love the aesthetic.

I didn't care about the lack of GBA support on the DSi, I just wanted a better DS lite and that's what it was. It should have had a VC for GB and GBC games, the shop was too neglected. But everything else worked great, much better than playing DS on 3DS.

GBA SP is the best upgrade, nothing quite like having a display you can see. I had a GBC back in 2001 so it didn't make much sense to upgrade yet and when the SP came out it was a no-brainer.

This is one of those things that you can "fix" in the original by using a cheat code so it's not like it's some huge deal.

I typically hate it when companies try to be cool by acting self-aware, Sega runs on that garbage, but oddly enough when Nintendo does it once every blue moon it's quite humorous. The reason I hate it is because it validates dumb complaints most of the time.

Stuff like constantly changing to the iron boots in the water temple, it doesn't make the game bad, it's just a minor inconvenience. But the worst is when they feature glitches as if they're some common problem in a game, when in reality the glitch would not appear so easily.

Broke: Sonic's Shadow The Hedgehog
Woke: Shadow The Hedgehog

My GBA is still going well, but with my 3DS it has started to get noticeable how it doesn't hold a charge as well as before, I usually get about an hour on power saving and no 3D.

Great to see an effort to maintaining this crucial part of the hardware available.

I don't see how this is any more disrespectful than selling a piece of cardboard for obscene amounts of money.

This feels more like when there is a game I want to play but can't because I don't have the hardware and someone else is playing it saying it sucks.

Dudebro Sonic. I wish someone at Sega would just grab a Sonic game from 1998 to 2009 and listen to how cool Sonic used to sound like, these voice actors are still around, they love voicing the character (and have even done so in recent fan works) like, c'mon.

One of the best reasons to play SatBK nowadays is to appreciate how good the voice acting was at one point in the series. The other of course being the last Sonic game with a serious plot, and a good message.

Sonic Chronicles is one of the cheapest-looking Sonic games I've played, though, I have to give it credit for at least trying something new with the Chao. I like that it loosely connects to the GBA games too, something you wouldn't see nowadays.
