@mlt Whoa wai— wha— Symphony “lacks polish”?! It’s one of the most polished videogames ever. It’s level design is way better than AoS, and its soundtrack demolishes AoS (and just about any other video game actually). Yes it gets easy but that’s only up until the inverted castle.
AoS is good but there are way too many flat, straight areas. AoS soul system is ace but Dawn did it all better
@Poco_Lypso @nessisonett No he isn’t; you can’t have it both ways. You also assume that adding more inclusion to a game is a less popular stance. You are being hypocritical
@Qwiff Yeah like I’m having fun trying to be pacifist as much as possible, because Zelda would want to use her wisdom; not her fists, and I especially don’t think she would harm animals. It’s interesting how I have to use my echoes just right to hide and sneak by.
@FiercestDiety Yeah truly excellent art and sound direction
@Novamii I’ve always hovered around buying it but something always stopped me. However it’s interesting I knew exactly what game that screaming boy was from (because I have seen the cover art so many times in eShop)
@Burning_Spear They need it to be buttons because the joycons can be split apart and given to two players, and they have to keep the experience between the players congruent.
It’s easy enough to get a third party Joycon with D-pad
@KayFiOS Dominion themed gameplay is a huge part of all three titles, so the name perfectly fits. Although the power is more implied for Jonathan and Charlotte.
@WhiteTrashGuy Yeah the OoE artist is super talented and Shanoa is fire on that cover. Still, I wish they’d just print all three covers for one edition, and let you change them whenever
@Poco_Lypso I think it’s something about Wukong devs not listening to Sweet Bee or whatever that inclusion consulting organization is called. And that’s their right. Not sure what their input would add to a fantasy game about a monkey man anyway
@sanderev Yeah the touch cursor icon gets annoying. I found it’s best to have the character stats on top and the touch cursor at the upper right. Seems to be less noticeable that way
The video above explains everything. The dual screen is a customizable side display now, with multiple options. The touch inputs are customizable as d-pad or analog stick movements now.
All the NES Castlevania games sound excellent, but I do think the FM version of Castlevania III has a much larger punch; which in turn immerses the player better (because the action is very methodical and punchy). The Famicom Simon’s Quest’s version of Bloody Tears is underwhelming; so in both cases, the FM channel adds a lot of depth to the NES wave generated channels
