Resident Evil was were it all started for me, but I don't think 4 and later fits the survival horror genre. To me these are different genres. The last of the true survival horror RE games was Code Veronica.
Fatal Frame 2 was fantastic. Great story and really scary for all the right reasons.
The latest entry on Nintendo Wii U, Fatal Frame 5... urgh. What a dull experience. It was like comparing any Silent Hill game to Silent Hill 2.
Ohh yeah, my point being: I'm not too optimistic about a new entry on Switch. The survival horror genre needs great writing to succeed. Something we have seen way to less in recent years… or should I say a decade?
@judaspete Okay, let's not get carried away here. The Legacy of Kain series is in a league of it's own. Especially Blood Omen, Soul Reaver and Defiance. You can't compare Shadow Man to such masterpieces. It would be like comparing Tarrentino's latest movie to Pulp Fiction.
Finding all the dark souls was both very challenging but also much fun. Not sure how much the graphics will hold up today, but from a nostalgic point of view, I'd definitely go back to deadside one more time.
The music was superb. Great atmosphere. Remember the children's voices in the asylum? That was creepy as hell.
Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini and Conker's Bad Fur Day. Those three I would throw cash at right away. You know what Chris Seaver? I prefer them over Banjo.
I see so many whining about Blitz and wishing for 1-2 instead. Yet none of you have taken a few seconds to actually explain why that is.
Is it because of the content in 1-2 having more quality?
Or is it only because of gyro controls ruining the experience in Blitz? If that is the case it could still be a great game on Switch.
For the record I have 1-2 on Gamecube myself and thought they were both great games. I have no idea about Blitz as I wasn't fond of the Wii. I thought the whole gyro controls gimmick sucked banana so hard.
So how about "Pile of Dung"? Would that be okay or are any of you freaks offended by that? It seems mission impossible speaking and writing in a way that offends no one in the 21st century. What happened to you world? You used to be cool!
Wait what..? Code Veronica is coming to Switch? That's IMO the best entry in the series.
Trivia: Did you know Code Veronica was originally intended to be RE3? Since it was in the works as a Dreamcast exclusive Sony wanted Capcom to complete a trilogy, thus releasing what we know today as RE3: Nemesis.
For those who haven't tried it and love the old RE games, Code Veronica is a must. Far better than the below average RE3: Nemesis.
Don't worry Rod. It didn't pass my bar either. I would have cancelled it too. What we forget is that although it is a sh**ty game... (and it is)... most peoples taste in video games is for the birds.

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Upcoming Major Switch Games
The american date format irritates me. It makes no logical sense.
Day/Month/Year - Thank you!
With every criticism some praise must follow:
At least you're driving in the right side of the road.
Re: Monkey Ball Director Loved Astral Chain, Was Inspired By Takahisa Taura "To Improve"
Just give us Monkey Ball 1+2
Re: Review: Resident Evil 5 - More Action Than Horror, And All The Better For It
I liked this one better than 4 due to co-op. But as a Resident Evil game, nothing compares to the old classics which ended after Code Veronica.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Dev Retro Studios Hires Halo Character Modeller As New Lead Artist
High hopes is a dangerous thing, but how can you not for Metroid Prime 4? It's gonna be the greatest game ever, right?

Re: Civilization VI Dev Explains Why Online Multiplayer Wasn't Included In The Switch Version
When is the hotseat update coming?
The game has been out for ages and we're in October now!
Re: House Of The Dead 1 And 2 Are Coming To Switch
Cool! Can't play my DC version anymore, since I no longer have a cathode ray TV. Who does so anyway?
Re: Ittle Dew 2 Removed From Switch eShop Against Developer's Wishes
It is commonly known that Nicalis is one of the worst publishers and has been so for a long time.
Re: Review: Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition - A Pure Work Of Magic

Yeah it seems ridiculous.
Let me throw another con: "It's too good for its own good."
Re: Feature: Best GameCube Games
Eternal Darkness only in 9th spot? Clearly a lot of you must have missed out.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - The Weirdest Entry In The Series Is Still Worth A Look On Switch
I agree with the reviewer. This entry is by far the weakest.
Re: Poll: Vote For Your Favourite GameCube Games
On this system is some of the greatest games ever made.
Like Metroid Prime and Eternal Darkness
...also Code Veronica and Wind Waker was up there.
Re: Random: Looks Like Capcom Forgot To Remove Mention Of The Wii In Ace Attorney Trilogy On Switch
Why do today what can be done tomorrow?

@SpicyBurrito16
Thanks for explaining in such thorough details. I would never have guessed in which order you were able to play them.

Re: Conker's Creator Doesn't Think There Would Be As Much Noise For Other Rare IP On Switch
Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini and Conker's Bad Fur Day.
Those three I would throw cash at right away.
You know what Chris Seaver? I prefer them over Banjo.
Re: Wargroove's Getting A Deluxe Physical Edition On Switch This Autumn
Is it retail or a limited print?
Re: Power Stone Producer Would Love To See A New Entry On Nintendo Switch
Ohh this would totally be the tits!
Loved Power Stone in the glory days of the Dreamcast.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold 36.87 Million Units, Could Pass SNES Total By Christmas
It's funny how the worst console in my opinion (having owned them all) is at no. 1 spot.
Re: Review: Raiden V: Director's Cut - Bullet Hell On A Budget Both Veterans And Noobs Can Appreciate
Can someone list the best shmups on Switch, which are NOT bullet hell?
Re: The Original DOOM, DOOM II And DOOM 3 Have All Surprise Launched On Nintendo Switch
Cool... I remember fidling with a map maker back in the '90's for Doom 2. Let me just say... it wasn't exactly Mario Maker software.

Ha ha... thanks. Good laugh
Re: Review: Kill la Kill: IF - A Rare Flop From The Masters At Arc System Works
I expected this kind of score. Lovely pass which means time to do other things (gaming related of course).
Re: Nintendo Will Now Let You Upload 64 Courses In Super Mario Maker 2
I believe setting a limit which is raised little by little is a great idea.
If you could only make 1 level, would it be better than the average of the 32 levels you could make from the beginning? Yes, it would. That's why.

Re: Nihon Falcom Lacks The Ability To Release More Games On Switch, Says President
@illmatic20xx
Not for you, I or Nintendo. But it's gotta be worrying for Falcom.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch RPGs
Darkest Dungeon was great
Re: Nihon Falcom Lacks The Ability To Release More Games On Switch, Says President
That's worrying...
Re: Review: Streets Of Rogue - An Ambitious Roguelite With Plenty Of Role Play
So many of these games... (!)
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Shmups
I somewhat like shmups, but I hate bullet hell. It holds zero interest to me.
Could someone be so kind and advise me a list of good shmups where not too much s*** is going on at once?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 22nd)
Comparing CTR with Mario Kart is just crazy talk. It's something you'd only hear from a drunk shouting in the streets or read on a toilet wall.
Re: Review: Rolling Gunner - An Essential Shooter That's Perfect For Newcomers And Veterans Alike
I'm sick of all these bullet hell shmups. Where are the good shmups without tons of flying shi* on the screen at once?
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th June (Europe)
Another poor made board game from AssModee?
Time to turn on the Xbox 360 instead
Re: Flyhigh Works Hosts ‘Summer Sizzlers’ Sale, 11 Switch Games Discounted
The first three on the list I'd buy, if I hadn't already.
Re: First Footage Of Milla Jovovich's Monster Hunter Movie Breaks Cover
When is Tetris The Movie coming out?
Re: First Footage Of Milla Jovovich's Monster Hunter Movie Breaks Cover
This is just so bad… and not in a good way.
Re: Looks Like Tetris 99 Is Getting A $30 Physical Edition In Japan
@Bunkerneath
Tetris was never relaxing. I wouldn't recommend it If you have high blood pressure.
Re: Former Epic Games Production Director Talks About How He "Tried To Cancel" Fortnite
Don't worry Rod. It didn't pass my bar either. I would have cancelled it too. What we forget is that although it is a sh**ty game... (and it is)... most peoples taste in video games is for the birds.
Re: Alien: Isolation Is Coming To Switch This Year With Gyro Aiming And HD Rumble
Didn't this originally get poor reviews?
Edit: It received a 6/10 on gamespot. That is not something to get excited over. Strong pass.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th June (Europe)
@Citano
A slow insta-buy, wouldn't really be an insta-buy, would it?
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th June (Europe)
I do not see them on the list or maybe I'm blind. But the FF games are on sale as well.
Re: Get Ready For A Scare Or Two, Because The Sinking City Is Headed For Switch
Sweet sweet baby Jesus. This will do just fine replacing my Eternal Darkness hopes.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Summary From E3 2019 - Day One
I'm curious about that Sunken City game. It sort of scratched my Eternal Darkness vibe.
Re: Nintendo E3 2019: What Are You Hoping For?
Why hope for a new IP, when there's so many great ones screaming for a revival? Like Eternal Darkness for instance.
On a more realistic front I hope for a Pikmin 4 announcement.
Re: Feature: Dormant Nintendo Franchises We'd Like To See Return On Switch
Eternal Darkness has so much potential for a sequel. Brilliant game.
