@RiasGremory yes unfortunately they have got big headed again. Due for a big fall hopefully.

Nintendo need to do something like this, incorporating characters in levels. Imagine a Starfox theme in a Mario game.

@PikminMarioKirby totally agree this damn obsession with 4k 60fps *****. Has got us here.

When is any l game nowadays not inspired by another. Astrobot is incredible, so is Mario. Mario Galaxy 1&2 are masterpieces of game design.

Legendary game designer, nothing more to say.

They are all great, but I just love those Super Famicom boxes. And that art just wins it for me.

Brilliant shooter, had on my Steam deck for ages. But still might pick it up for switch.

Very sad news 😢 rest in peace 🙏

Looks fantastic, definitely watching & waiting for reviews.

Final fight, that's what I'm interested in, when you look how great Strees of rage 4 turned out. This should be high up on Capcoms list.

Best generation ever, I have em all !!

I was hoping to see some of their arcade reboots. Like Golden Axe, Streets of Rage.

The Nes is a thing of beauty, be it Lego or the real deal.

It always amazes me how games like this get released. Who the hell play tests them & gives it the green light. Surely as a games tester you would realise something like the aiming or jumping mechanic is crap & not enjoyable.

Looks amazing 👏

Looks fantastic, again kudos to the artists. Such talent, proves how much you can achieve with so called ancient tech.

Retro studios magic!!

Some keep saying it looks to good to be running on Switch. It proves with talent & amazing artists hardware is almost irrelevant. And yes it does look incredible 😍

Meh, not a patch on the amazing Sega games it's trying to emulate. The visuals aren't a patch on the incredible pixel art of Outrun.

Looks fantastic 👌

That's fair enough, obviously they care about the quality.

Good to see an arcade cab in the pictures, obviously getting inspiration from the classics.

Doesn't hold a candle to the Legendary Super sprint.

Amazing on both really. But the Japanese one takes it.

Abzu should be on PSVR 2 imagine how amazing that would be. That and Child of eden would be brilliant in VR!!

Could of done so much with the original formula. As usual they have to over complicate with some pointless story crap, missions look over complicated as well. This isn't Lunar lander, its just another ruined Atari classic.

Yes an incredible year, but 1988 will be the best for me when the Japanese domination was about to begin. With PC Engine, Megadrive, followed by Super Famicom a few years later. The true golden age of home gaming the 16bit era.

Soon as I read roguelike, not interested thanks.

Mostly forgettable dross I expect, the usual Metroidvania clones without a doubt.

Bought it on steam deck a few weeks ago, it's a great game.

@LiquidNinja totally agree, streets of rage 4 is damn good. Final fight needs to return with the same passion.

Final fight, UN Squadron, need reboots.

Ocarina of time

Have this on my Steam deck, yet to start it.

Great review definitely getting this, and the mention of the Konix multi system. A system that would of changed gaming forever. Its about time someone brought out something similar now.

Looks amazing, and this is what makes NES & other retro systems so special. Devs still pushing this iconic hardware. Something that won't happen with modern systems!! Check out Sam's journey on NES & Earthion coming to Megadrive. Both stunning examples of pushing these brilliant systems. And none of this ***** 4k 60fps talk we here all the damn time nowadays.

@cookeecut totally agree it's idiots like them, that are killing the industry. With this constant obsession with tech specs!! Its laughable really. Its all about great games, Mario Galaxy 1 &2 are still two of the best games ever. Running on old tech.

Good news in my opinion, more time for devs to get there games ready. Switch still has plenty life left in it.

Oh there's a surprise, another Soulslike game how original.

Love the idea of all these classics being released, but to be honest if you love retro gaming your better off having an emulation setup or Steam deck.

@NeonPizza yes agreed, considering the stunning pixel art that Wayforward designed for Contra 4. The new visuals are a bit of a cop out. Obviously easier to throw these together than investing in sprite work. I will still buy though but will wait for physical version.

@NeonPizza good news my friend, I will try the PS5 demo later. Definitely a great game, would of preferred pixel art like the classics though, love the Nes. Snes, Megadrive, DS. It's strange some of the visuals look really effective, some look quite budget like you said.

@NeonPizza yes good point, thinking of buying steam deck soon. So hopefully it might come over to that. If not PS5 version, shame it's not getting a physical release.

Enjoyed the demo, but the lag, framerate needs to be sorted. No excuse for it really, is it an old build with no optimisation.. I don't know. Would of preferred pixel art as well, enjoyed the demo though besides the issues. A physical release would be great as well.

This looks like it might be worth a look.

I doubt there will much to be excited about.

It's going to be amazing whatever it is, Nintendo always sprinkle there magic over whatever they produce.

Both amazing games, may pick it up on Switch.

Love Zero mission, Fusion, Samus returns, Dread. Super Metroid. All stunning 2D Metroids.

The legacy arcade stuff yes!! A new Final fight, reboots of the Cps1, Cps2, would be amazing but done right.
