Re: Mini Review: Taito Milestones 3 (Switch) - Third Time's A Charm

Excellent collection, the games offered are almost all classics. But I have already bought 5 or 6 of these games in the ACA version, which also offers Caravan and hi score modes. I think this collection came out late, many fans will have already picked up a good part of these games. Otherwise it's a great buy.

Re: Analyst States That Switch 2's Price Won't "Really Matter" For Early Adopters

@PikminMarioKirby I also thought about the 3DS which initially sold for €250 and then dropped to €160, the same price as the DS. In that case I think the problem was that the 3DS cost almost as much as the Wii U, €50 less if I remember correctly, that is, a price too close to the living room console. Now the difference no longer exists, we'll see. I'm hoping for a price that isn't too high, max €450 for console + a game would be good for me.

Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs

I don't think it's entirely wrong to write "based on the work of the original staff team". Because that's really the case, the original team didn't work on the remaster. Then it may happen that a developer of the original title is not happy with the work done with the remaster. He might be annoyed to see himself in the credits of a title that he considers a bad porting work.

Re: Review: Clock Tower: Rewind (Switch) - Pre-RE Survival Horror That's Elevated By Extras

It's not easy to review an old game, but I was thinking about other media.
In a review of the 8K version of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or the "stratospheric sound" version of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, the reviewer would have focused only on the quality of the port/remaster, not making a comparison between Satisfaction and the modern music scene, I suppose.
Maybe even old video games should be reviewed like this. For this game, among the cons I would have put a slight stuttering which is mainly noticeable in the chase scenes.
