@ChimpHunter hahaha, well I consider it a "weird" game. But that's also twelve year old me talking, so what do I know. How many times I had to call the nintendo hotline because I had NO CLUE WHAT TO DO! Good times. Love that game.
Young Merlin! It was one of the first games I owned on the SNES and it was... Wel, just, WOW! But still everytime a gem sparkles in the waterfall I just melt! Nostalgia!
Lies!!! Nothing but Lies!!! I watched everything and Xbox won most apocalyptic dystopian shooters. Period. Nothing more. Nintendo GOT METROID FOR CRYINC OUT LOUD. It's rigged I tell ya.
WOOOOHOOOO! Played bloodstained ritual of the night 3 times en curse of the moon 2 times. NOW BRING ME ANOTHER BLOODSTAINED (visualize the baby eating smurfs here).
@Ghost_of_Hasashi I know, but the touchscreen controller would be soooo nice. I have an LG doublescreen now and it runs my gamepass games quite smoothly with my Series X controller, but is s#cks I can't just use the second screen. So I think my next phone will be a microsoft double screen device 😊😊😊😊
Wow, that is.. Not so pretty... And the gameplay in the trailer isn't looking all that good either... What we need is an actual new metroidvania game, like, metroid or castlevania. Here's wishing the E3 will have news!
Where do they find these garbage bin games? The garbage man should have taken that bin out decades ago. STOP GOING THROUGH UNPICKED-UP TRASH NINTENDO!!! 😂
Anything new would be something about now. I would loooooove GBA games! I would loooooove GBC games. I would looooooove n64 games. Love love love them all!
I miss them so much!!! You could tell if it was gonna be a good game by looking at the booklet. If it had nice pictures and drawings, good explanations and different fonts, i.e., if they had put effort in it, that same effort would have gone into making the game. Lifia for instance came with a walkthrough with maps, explanations, the works, all with nic illustrations and such. The Zelda manuals were always very high qualitiy, as was the trainers manual that came with the pokemon games. While other games just had a standard booklet with some warnings and a button lay out (if you were lucky). And while I was taking the game out of it's packaging, I was always anxious to see the booklet. Would it be a good memory in the making, or a bad purchase? The booklet would tell me, even before I booted up the game. I bet Ys VIII would hsve had an amazing booklet, cause that was also a very awesome game (one of the best Switch games I played)
@Aneira I do get where you are coming from. FF VI and VII have such great plotlines, so many characters, extra characters that are optional and not everything is spelled out, so much is left to the imagination to fill the blanks. But with the newer games everything is spelled out, sometimes to the extend of over explaining. Fewer characters, bigger visuals, lots of booms and bams, little depth. That's why I was glad I played the Pocket Version first. It's got all the story, but a not so OOOOOH artstyle, I had to use my imagination again and some plotpoints are incorporated that are not fully fleshed out, giving it that old school "not everything is explained" feel.
I sometimes miss the days of really great RPG's. Lufia, older Tales of.. Games, the older Final Fantasy's. So I really do get what you are saying. I hope the upcoming Mana remake will scratch my itch. And I saw a trailer today of the Shin Megami Tensei III Remaster that looks very promising.
So, in conclusion, perhaps give the FF XV Pocket Edition a shot, you might like that one and fingers crossed that ff XVI will be better, though I wasn't that fond of the trailer to be honest... They should have a new writer now though, so we shall see.
@Aneira FF VIII, VII, VI, IX, X, I, IV, III, II just a little, didn't play, XII, XIII, XI, XIV, V. So no, not all of them but most of them. I guess the biggest problem was the hype, since you named the disappointment. People were expecting so much, the biggest, baddest most spectacular, but got something quite precious. And I played it as that precious little thing, which made it very special to me, cause I played it quite a while after the release.
@Aneira Are you sure you played the game? Especially with episode Ardyn DLC everything falls into place. It's an allegory for the story of Christ, and it's quite beautifully written. Especially in the pocket version, where the story takes central stage, it has quite the pace. I thought it was brilliant!
FFXV is not getting enough love! Played both the Pocket Edition (get that one, you're gonna love it) and the main title and it's story and grand build up is amazing. Very theological as well!! So I guess my list is as follows:
Come on. It's an adventure game. Fallout is not in a "fantasy world" as such, but it's a first person RPG. Borderlands has RPG elements. Paper Mario for some reason stopped being an rpg. Of I don't get experience points, it's not an rpg.
I love grinding, but AAAAAAAAH THE MOON OF FFIV!!! I didn't finish that game because of that fr*#+in Moon! I love grinding, but not in the end game. IT'S THE ENDGAME. Now I want to play FFIV again...
@Friendly I honestly could never handle the ancient cave hahaha. The story is what grabbed me, shook me to my core and what kept me playing. And that #"&%#' Tarantula-spider-boss thingy hahaha. Opoh, now I want to defeat the Sinistrals all over again!!!
@dewokkel I would sooooo love that, although nowadays any new SNES addition to the online service would be something. Although.... Noooo, any game would be welcome!
@Friendly I loooooove that game! First RPG I ever played and since then I cannot stop playong them, always hoping some game will ever be as great as that one. Some get there (Tales of the Abyss, Ys VIII, Final Fantasy games), most of them don't however. I still go back to the game sometimes, reliving the memories.
Still waiting for pokemon Let's go Gold and Silver (or Marill and Schnubbel). Didn't really care for diamond and pearl back in the day. Don't know what it was, but it just couldn't grab me like the other games did. Perhaps my expectations were to high back then of what a DS could do.
Classic mode is soooooo cool. All the castlevania nostalgia! So much fun. Almost finished my second playthrough of the main game. Still one of my favorites!
@johnvboy right? If there was news on Prime 4 this article wouldn't exist. Maybe perhaps next week we can remember when the price details of the Super Nintendo were released.
@COVIDberry I think you're saying: "You think news is slow now, I know when new was slow, back then, that is when news was slow". Because I said, news is slow now. So I'm saying, I know, I was there, I lived the Star Wars (Wii U era). Hell I lived the Gameboy Era... I'm old... Anyway, my post was not it being slow news perse, it was more a, wow, what a weird thing to remember as "news" now, must mean there's no Breath of the Wild 2 to cover. Cause I think this article wouldn't exist if there was Breath of the Wild 2 news.
@johnvboy right? But I guess with Covid and Animal Crossing selling as it does, Nintendo could just sit back and relax and see their stocks go up. But I hope they don't. But I get that development is really difficult in this period. We're all struggling.
@COVIDberry did you just call me Red? Really? 4 years ago called, they want their slurs back (get it, 4 yeara ago, because of the articl... Aah never mind). And I now all about the wii u era, trust me, i have MEMberries (get it, south park, and your name is COVIDbe... Aaah, never mind). Point is, remembering the day we learned the price of the switch launch is... Well, I don't think its worth MEMbering (get, it, with the berries agai... Aaah, never mind)
@Damo the switch wasn't shown of 4 years ago though. The details of pricing, release date and launchtitles were revealed, the switch itself was revealed before that. They also changed the headline, the original headline was "4 years ago the switch launch titles were revealed" or something in that notion. The switch reveal "after so many years" I get, "We learned price details 4 years ago"... Noooo, that's not news worthy (in my opinion)
Something is more then nothong right? And I think the fighters should be well known gaming figures, not from an obscure "japan only"game for the longest time. I played the rom as a kid like 20 years ago and loved it, but not everyone has that history woth that character. I think many more have that with Sephiroth (can't wait to play him btw).
The pop-in on my switch lite especially got me out of the game. It's not as bad in docked mode, but on Lite there's a clear borderline which keeps oon loading. Gameplay wise it's awesome and it's got me hooked, but the graphics are not too good...
@PickledKong64 no it doesn't. It's a buggy mess! The texts disappears every now and then and the framerate is choppy (at least when I played it). So I then decided, if It's not gonna run well, it's gonna run bad on the switch, cause then it's in handheld. And with the previous patch that kind of worked. Until they patched it again a few months back and messed everything up again framerate wise! These developers cannot develop. Which is like the saddest thing ever, cause Casltevania is one of my favorite franchises.
Analysts since the switch was announced: "I don't get it.". Millions of people buying it: "We do!". People been being sceptic of the switch since the reveal and it's proven time and time again Nintendo is doing good by listening to it's own ideas instead of the analysts.

Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
