@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.

@fabiop You can have a main Switch system and one more Switch system to trade Virtual Game Cards between. You need to set it up in your account settings which one is the main device (likely your Switch 2), and then make sure the other Switch is Pass Enabled

However you have to stick to those two chosen consoles for at least a year, because the Pass Enabled console can only be changed once annually.

@cedarhyped Also GunGun Pixies

@jojobar This is the way

Electric nightmares

@prw_88 Is it a quantum computer or something?

@Summer235 Yeah, I mean kids like Roblox. One of the scummiest pay to play systems

@Flapflop No. The destruction particles cannot be done on Switch 1 well. The game requires fast swapping the more advanced memory and the beefier CPU to calculate all the random physics stuff happening.

Yes. Only because I had a Best Buy certificate to use and Metroid Prime 4 doesn’t even have a release date yet.

I’m still very concerned about how fast the destruction mechanics in this game will get stale.

@RadioHedgeFund Thanks for that artist callout. Didn’t know about these arrangements

I get weird stuttering when moving the camera around in Outset Isle. It seems the framerate is inconsistent

@TwinFami If you are in Lanayru region, that is by design. A large chunk of the area is under heavy rain until a certain quest is completed; and the downpour activates the moment you step into that part of the map; it is like a curse

@SplatRay001 There is already so much content; what more would you add to TotK?

@RadioHedgeFund This is actually only half true; in the outer edges of the map, or in the caves and underground, they do not hand-hold the player.

@SpinEnDash To be fair, the students didn’t have the ticket they were given at the beginning of the year anyway. So it was all a crapshoot after that. Nelson just took over and threw them out into the crowd.

@nocdaes That type of honest mistake gets you fired. The systems are in short supply as it is and tape is not much slower at all compared to staple

@Ramouz Funny you say that when lots of Switch owners play third party games too (I personally would rather play my games on my Switch than my PS5 or 3080ti PC). You are underestimating the power of handheld appeal for any game, and the flexibility of Switch’s form factor in general.

@KingMike They still have Banjo-Kazooie, but it would just make more sense to cater that third party to Nintendo at this point

Oh great, here come the Switch 2 Pro rumors

@Megayoshi96 Shy Guy is perfectly balanced
