@VoodooTrumpet Fallout 4 is excellent.

M-m-mariioooooo!

@Coalescence SR388 Ruins is a mood. Really tense and alien sounding (kinda like “Norfair” from Metroid 1)

@Kilroy I remember waking up early on Christmas at my Gramp’s and finding this game in my stocking! I couldn’t wait to relay we got it, to my older brother (who was still asleep with the rest of my family). The box art is still epic.

@MarcusIsCool Good game music is always good game music. I was just listening to all manner of NES, Super Nintendo and Gameboy music today through the app

@Zeebor15 It’s the long awaited sequel to the first Direct (movie). This direct will wrap up all the loose ends from the cliffhanger story, and you won’t believe who dies!

@Orwellian87 They literally changed up the formula and Alana didn’t like that (fair enough, she makes good points).

Tough choice; both great examples of good art and composition, but the western one actually shows exactly what the game is about; whereas the Japanese cover is just almost every character looking really silly. JP looks less like product-shelf art and more like back-of-the-manual spread image

@wollywoo WRONG! They were seared by a holy cross. (Duh!)

@Ravenmaster Spoiler Alert please

$12 dollarydoos on US Eshop now. Think I’ll bite

Yup. This sounds interesting and I like the educational battle gimmick. To the wishlist it goes

@gcunit I never notice the noise, if any. It does get warm with some games

@SalvorHardin That’s her corn

Very reminiscent of Solstice. The first Lumo had good level and puzzle design, so I’m looking forward to more

@DonierGunad I could see 3DS games being added to work with the Virtuaboy accessory 🤔

@sixrings In 1080p the game can run at 120 fps, for Switch 2

@sixrings No, Mario Galaxy of “Mario 3D All Stars” is a completely different release, and went through a separate round of testing and implementation.

@cylemmulo New UI and Storybook scenes, as well as new Assist mode.

@Anti-Matter It’s not hard to refill your lives supply by replaying earlier levels. Most Marios are designed that way, and further on in the game there are plenty of 1-ups to get again—over and over— in the hub.

@Pipulitoch What a TWEEST!

@Chron At 1080p it supports 120 fps; 4k is 60fps. Now I want to see confirmation somewhere of it will actually support HDR

@BaldB3lper78 Excellent review though

@MirrorFate2 The problems mentioned in the review are not petty; they are objective perspectives from what a platform gamer expects of their genre.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant He is speaking more about nostalgia of old videogames in general, l think.

@Elbow Probably will be on Game Pass at some point

@AussieMcBucket For all systems. I looked it up and apparently Descent is stuck in legal licensing hell

@AussieMcBucket Why can’t Nightdive do a Descent collection.

I saw “Nintendo 64 Classics” and got my hopes up for a mini console 😢

@jake1421 The main problem here is that you can ricochet into other enemies and keep taking damage. Even the first Castlevania didn’t allow that. That’s a design no-no

@Flatlinerking I remember having the same experience with the original Resident Evil

@sketchturner No it doesn’t. The game struggles to hit 40fps consistently even with sacrifices. You would have to make the game very ugly to get 60 fps and if you’re using fsr you will get major control lag.

@datamonkey For real, yo!

@canaryfarmer wait for Hamster sale

@aardvaarkchi Not a typo, and don’t call me Surely

@Maxz You are confusing him with Homer Simpson; rookie mistake.

@N00BiSH Oh— a joke! I get jokes!

Heretic still has some of the most impressive / technical level design architecture for a BSP based Doom Clone. If you look at Raven’s maps in an editor, you can see how complex (yet clean) it all is. Level 4, “The Guard Tower”, is especially cool looking, with fantastic use of lighting contrasts to paint a really dreary, medieval overcast setting. But it really comes together on Level 6’s cathedral setting, along with one of my favorite songs in any boomer shooter.

@HammerGalladeBro Two things that do not hold as well are the absolutely obtuse and repetitive level design; as well as how you had to sit there for minutes on end refilling your energy reserves after a player death

Castlevania 1 and 4 also have similarly impressive mood changing ending themes (that do a good job of representing the hard work and the adventure to get there)

@Teksette One of the most cinematic ending segments on the NES / Famicom

@swoose Yeah but games are far too complex and big now to not hire outside contractors for test

@mlt I actually prefer Heretic’s more focused levels (and superior soundtrack); Hexen is too sprawling and backtrack heavy for its own good. I do like the classes in Hexen though.

I put Heretic right up there with Doom 1

Updated Witcher 3, please

@Coalescence No. just bring back Simpsons Tapped Out and port it to Switch

@ParsnipHero Purple. (Purple’s a fruit)

These games look gobsmacking glorious on OLED TVs. The colors pop, lighting is more ambient and the contrast is way sharper. Now that’s it’s also in 4k, it’s a huge improvement over the original. I can’t stop playing BotW all over again (trying a three heart run)

@neo9eo Mario is far, far, far greater (popularity wise)

@BaldB3lper78 I know right? Make it make sense.

@MamaSymphonia Same team, so it makes sense

@mlt The Star World is plenty challenging enough

@gaga64 Some other team is probably working on the next Mario 3D. Maybe Luigi Mansion team?

@TheSaneInsanity Are you sure they didn’t?

@Coolmusic They should do a new Gyromite with Goomba as the star, and the whole point is not to get squished throughout the puzzle of the level

@Tyranexx The upgrade is a shock to Western audiences but the original Ys X was launched in Japan in 2023

@EarthboundBenjy It is well known the first third of the Nordics has some… rough waters. It gets significantly better after that, but yeah, I agree the announcement of Proud Nordics stopped me from completing it.

@LastFootnote Thanks for the reassurance! 🙂

@Mocznik Professional critics were nearly unanimous in their praise of “Ocarina of Time”. It wasn’t for lack of internet. It’s that the game brought Zelda into the realm of 3D so well, and that the innovative mechanics like edge-triggered jumping and enemy lock-on worked so seamlessly in its world.

@Strawblaze Nintendo fans aren’t “low standard” we play the best video games in existence (the type of games that can be replayed over and over again). Nintendo’s R&D teams have always stressed fun and innovation over everything else.

This frame rate situation is being overblown.

The thing I’m more worried about is if the destructive environments take precedent over actual level design. But if this is the Odyssey team, I should probably trust them more. It also just really doesn’t look like a Donkey Kong game. I already have it pre-ordered but I am worried about these things.

@OldGamer999 Open world Wave Race

@the_beaver Still no release date

@fabiop Actually XBOX does something similar with Game Share.
