Well, they actually found out that the game was no appealing to retro fans, so they copied and pasted the characters and effects of previous games on a high resolution background to fool the fans to buy it. I wait for the sale. I think the SOR Remake project was and is way better than this game.
What the hell is this Konami? Is this a Contra? This more looks like a generic indie shooter on Steam. There is no Contra vibe and atmosphere. Graphics are awful (Neo-Contra had is more beautiful than this). After all these years, we got an ugly Non-Contra!
Konami, your are the masters at mishandling franchises. Instead of money, you shall get one of my fingers (and you know which one)
These mini consoles are useless. When Nintendo did that it was cool (but indeed useless), but now it is not even cool. If you want to play old games there are a lot of better options (Pc, hd retro consoles, etc.). Don’t waste your money on these toys.
Although there are a lot of so called retro games in the market, there are very few Developers who know what a retro game is. In this trailer you can feel the soul of retro games on 8 and 16 bit era. Retro games in not about a “fake” pixel art graphics and midi soundtrack. Only those who played retro games back in the day know what I’m talking about.
They are the future. But there are so many things about the future which I don’t like. One of them is Stadia. But we must face the fact that if they offer high quality first party titles, and if 5g become a thing in next 2 years, people eventually adopt the system. Sad but true.
Well, I’m totally fine with digital only future, whether you like it or not, it shall come. Those 16bit fossils (including myself), should accept the fact that resistance is futile.
Nintendo eshop is an overpriced environment (both in pricing and sales of first party and third party games) and mere comments wouldn’t change anything. Stop buying overpriced games. Nintendo and all other developers are business entities and they use every opportunity to charge you more and more. They only listen to sales figure and competition. Arguments and comments are of no use. Don’t buy their overpriced games and if you can, buy the same game on the platform that give you the cheapest offer. In other words, stop being a “Nintendo gamer”, just be a gamer, and everyone will profit.
When you pay 60$ for an old nintendo port of a mediocre game [DKC], or willing to pay 60$ for a GBA remake, then I think Capcom marketing team were right in overpricing their games, especially when all three of them have some nostalgic value.
Instead of releasing mediocre Chrono Trigger wannabes, Just do a full remake of Chrono Trigger (i.e., dont waste your resources on these games), and only then you would see the true magic of Chrono Trigger.
Well, its is not a bad game. But obviously did not live up to the hype before its release. Multiplayer is good, but campaign is quite boring. The presentation is as minimal as first Advance Wars game, and music, art style, graphics, and unit design are mediocre.
@pilotmkn exactly. Advance wars was all about modern warfare and this game has a pre-modern fantasy setting which is alright in it’s own terms but not for an Advance Wars style game. As if you satisfy your thirst fir a post apocalyptic game like Fallout with Elder Scrolls games.
There is no doubt that they have used the wrong art style for this game. But art style is not everything. The game stands or falls by its gameplay mechanics.
Well, they have made a mistake using 3d models. This game looks bad. And this is very unfortunate. They could use handdrawn graphics. Metacritic 7/10 at best. It shall hunt Castlvania fans by exploiting their nostalgia; but not me. I have already threw away my nostalgia for any game related product.
Consumers should fight for a refund option in digital media, not only for pre-orders but even for regular ordering. The procdure which Steam pursues is good model for all other platform.
Well, recent Fire Emblem games were really disappointing in terms of atmosphere and character design. I prefer Snes FE games in this regard. But from the gameplay perspective, recent FE games are brilliant.
It seems Switch owners expect Nintendo to give them a remaster or port of all their favorite games or titles. And for this they have a reason: “we want to play it on the go”.
@BitmapBureau does the game release at the same time digitally on PS4? And also any information regarding the price? Also can you tell me what engine are you using?
Your game is an absolute day 1 for me.

Re: 2120 MARS: Project Colonies Is A New 2.5D Side-Scroller Inspired By Super Metroid
That trailer revealed too much, to the point of spoiling the game for me! Shorter and less revealing trailers please!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April (North America)
The number of shovelware releasing on Switch each week is unblievable!
Re: Contra Rogue Corps Will Kick Alien Butt On Switch This Year
What the hell is this Konami? Is this a Contra? This more looks like a generic indie shooter on Steam. There is no Contra vibe and atmosphere. Graphics are awful (Neo-Contra had is more beautiful than this). After all these years, we got an ugly Non-Contra!

Re: Nintendo's Upcoming Switch Online NES Titles Include Donkey Kong Jr., VS. Excitebike And Clu Clu Land
I don’t want to play with power! Give me super power! Cause Genesis mini does what Nintendont!
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Switch eShop's Best-Selling Games For April 2019 (Europe)
Cuphead is an overrated game. It is only about art style and graphics, beyond that it is a very mediocre game.
Re: Switch Version Of Warhammer 40K: Deathwatch Gets Axed
One less mediocre game for Switch.
Re: Don’t Expect A Skies Of Arcadia Port Or Sequel Anytime Soon
Grandia 2 was and still is the true hidden gem of Dreamcast era. It is way better than SoA.
Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Labo VR Fails To Enter Top 40, Yoshi Slips Down To Fifth Place
A toy VR? No thanks.
Re: Review: SEGA AGES Gain Ground - A Commendable Failure, But A Failure Nonetheless
Release Golden Axe: RotDA or Outrun arcade games. Who asked for a mediocre late 80 title?
Re: Japanese Trailers Show Off More Details Of The Upcoming Sega Mega Drive Mini
These mini consoles are useless. When Nintendo did that it was cool (but indeed useless), but now it is not even cool. If you want to play old games there are a lot of better options (Pc, hd retro consoles, etc.). Don’t waste your money on these toys.
Re: Cyber Shadow's Publishing Deal With Yacht Club Games Didn't Happen Overnight
Great game. A true Ninja Gaiden sequel.
Re: Yacht Club Games Reveals Cyber Shadow, A Thrilling New 8-Bit Ninja Platformer

Re: Yacht Club Games Reveals Cyber Shadow, A Thrilling New 8-Bit Ninja Platformer
Great setting. Actually it is more attractive than Shovel Knight for me. Day one!
Re: Castle Crashers Remastered Brings 2D Beat 'Em Up Action To The Nintendo Switch
This looks same as the X360 to me. Enough cash grab, make a proper sequel if you want my money.
Re: Konami Releasing Anniversary Collection Series On Nintendo Switch
Give me that Contra collection: But remember Konami, I need Hard Corps, Rebirth, Shattered Soldier, and Contra 4 on that collection.
Re: Google Reveals Stadia, Its Vision Of A Cloud Gaming Future
They are the future. But there are so many things about the future which I don’t like. One of them is Stadia. But we must face the fact that if they offer high quality first party titles, and if 5g become a thing in next 2 years, people eventually adopt the system. Sad but true.
Re: Watch The First Gameplay Footage Of Disc-Slinger Windjammers 2
The fact that they did not turn it into an unpayable and ugly 3d version is enough for me. For that reason you deserve a day one purchase.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Will Be Playable For The First Time At PAX East
No Max, no buy!!!!!
I’m kidding! But having Max is a super cool feature!
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'
Well, I’m totally fine with digital only future, whether you like it or not, it shall come. Those 16bit fossils (including myself), should accept the fact that resistance is futile.
Re: Random: Fan Turns 65-Inch TV Into A Giant Nintendo Switch
Lots of free time + lots of money+ lack of talent= making a 65 inch Switch.
Re: Shoot 'Em Up Raiden V: Director's Cut Rated For Switch In Taiwan
Great game. A must buy for Switch.
Re: Battle Against A Royal Nightmare In Trine 4 On Switch This Autumn
First Trine game was very good. Although the co-op thing concerns me, but I look forward to this game. A fit game for mu Switch.
Re: Nintendo Celebrates Mario Day With Lots Of Mario Game Discounts (North America)
30% off for a 8 years old game? No thank you. Nintendo discounts is the definition of the “joke”.
Re: Talking Point: Capcom’s Resident Evil Switch Pricing Is Nothing New

Re: Want Resident Evil On Your Switch? You'd Better Have Deep Pockets
When you pay 60$ for an old nintendo port of a mediocre game [DKC], or willing to pay 60$ for a GBA remake, then I think Capcom marketing team were right in overpricing their games, especially when all three of them have some nostalgic value.
Re: Chrono Trigger Director Takashi Tokita Is Producing Switch JRPG Oninaki
@jobvd If done right it would. Resident evil 1 and 2 remake want to have word with you.
Re: Chrono Trigger Director Takashi Tokita Is Producing Switch JRPG Oninaki
Instead of releasing mediocre Chrono Trigger wannabes, Just do a full remake of Chrono Trigger (i.e., dont waste your resources on these games), and only then you would see the true magic of Chrono Trigger.
Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Confirmed For Switch, Launches This June
Next announcement please!
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th February (North America)
A lot of good for nothing games. Where is Nintendo seal of quality?
Re: Wargroove's First Patch Has Been Submitted For Approval, Dev Asks For Your Feedback
Well, its is not a bad game. But obviously did not live up to the hype before its release. Multiplayer is good, but campaign is quite boring. The presentation is as minimal as first Advance Wars game, and music, art style, graphics, and unit design are mediocre.
Re: id Software And Bethesda Still “Investigating” If Rage 2 Would Be Possible On Switch
Rage 2 The Snes version! No thanks!
Re: Review: Wargroove - A Turn-Based Strategy Classic That Intelligent Systems Would Be Proud Of
@pilotmkn exactly. Advance wars was all about modern warfare and this game has a pre-modern fantasy setting which is alright in it’s own terms but not for an Advance Wars style game. As if you satisfy your thirst fir a post apocalyptic game like Fallout with Elder Scrolls games.
Re: Video: 10 Exciting Games Coming To Switch In The Month Of February
Except for Wargroove, all of them are mediocre games. Don’t waste the word “exciting”.
Re: Capcom Has No Plans "At This Time" To Release The Resident Evil 2 Remake On Switch
Switch can’t run the game as intended.
Re: Video: Get A Closer Look At The Contra And Metal Slug-Inspired Blazing Chrome
Day one. Amid those boring pixel art roguelikes, this Contra inspired game shine like a star. Day one.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Development Has "Reached Its Peak"
@Rubbercookie You are right. 3d is more cheaper and feasible for them. But unfortunately the game has suffered because of that.
Re: Gallery: There’s No Need To Bash These New Streets Of Rage 4 Screenshots
There is no doubt that they have used the wrong art style for this game. But art style is not everything. The game stands or falls by its gameplay mechanics.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Development Has "Reached Its Peak"
Well, they have made a mistake using 3d models. This game looks bad. And this is very unfortunate. They could use handdrawn graphics. Metacritic 7/10 at best. It shall hunt Castlvania fans by exploiting their nostalgia; but not me. I have already threw away my nostalgia for any game related product.
Re: Feature: The Final Wii U Games We'd Like To See On Switch In 2019
Very good list.
Re: Feature: Sitting Down With Panic Button, Nintendo Switch's Most Important Third-Party Studio
Well, better call them, Nintendo’s most important porting studio.
Re: Tiny Metal's Free Multiplayer Update Has Finally Been Dispatched To Nintendo Switch
Very disappointing game. No, this late coming multiplayer patch will not save it. Save your 12$ for other games
Re: Nintendo Will Be Taken To Court Over Its "Illegal" eShop Pre-Ordering System
Consumers should fight for a refund option in digital media, not only for pre-orders but even for regular ordering. The procdure which Steam pursues is good model for all other platform.
Re: Video: Digging Deep Into Resident Evil 2 On N64, One Of The Most Remarkable Ports Of All Time
The sad point is that we still need studios like them to play a downgraded version of RE2 Remake on Switch.
Re: Feature: How A Chinese Studio Has Revived Fire Emblem's Biggest Rival, Langrisser
Well, recent Fire Emblem games were really disappointing in terms of atmosphere and character design. I prefer Snes FE games in this regard. But from the gameplay perspective, recent FE games are brilliant.
Re: The Dream's Over Folks, Nintendo Confirms There Are "No Plans" For Zelda: Skyward Sword On Switch
It seems Switch owners expect Nintendo to give them a remaster or port of all their favorite games or titles. And for this they have a reason: “we want to play it on the go”.
Re: Random: Japanese Man Named Miyamoto Arrested For Selling Modded Super Famicom Mini
Great catch. They saved the whole industry by such an act. Nintendo should sue this guy.
Re: Bandai Namco Announces Super Robot Wars T For Switch, Included Anime Franchises Revealed
Asian version of Super Robot Wars games on PS4 is in english. I wonder if this will be the same for Switch or not?
Re: Mega Drive Kickstarter Success Xeno Crisis Is Getting A Limited Physical Edition On Switch
@BitmapBureau does the game release at the same time digitally on PS4? And also any information regarding the price? Also can you tell me what engine are you using?
Your game is an absolute day 1 for me.
Re: Blazing Chrome Will Bring Its Classic Arcade Side-Scrolling Action To Switch Early Next Year
I only have one thing to say: Day 1
