Even if this is a remaster of the 1&2 collection they released, Super Monkey Ball Deluxe, it's a day 1 purchase for me, as those were the best two back on Gamecube
Totally bought Teal with my summer job earnings and took it on a family vacation out west, my first Game Boy after only having a Mario Game and Watch for portable gaming before. Mostly played Tetris DX My younger brother later on the Pikachu version and played so many hours of Pokemon on it of course.
I would have way preferred them release Virtual Boy Virtual Console titles on 3DS, which would have been the best possible way to play those titles and preserve the 3D...
First time I saw the space shuttle taking off was in Tetris DX on my Game Boy Color, which I bought one summer when my family was going to drive around national parks out west as our vacation. Before that I'd only ever played on other people's bulky Game Boys, but with my own, I had more time to practice, and haven't stopped since (though Tetris DS is the best one)
Please update this review if they ever do add proper ability to invert BOTH axis, cuz otherwise that's a total deal breaker for me especially in a 3D platforming game
This is really all I've wanted them to add to the system since it came out! I'd gladly toss my usb-c bluetooth adapter in the drawer if the Switch could pair with my headphones directly!
As long as all my tables transfer over, sounds great! Would be neat if they could fold in the Star Wars tables too so we can consolidate down to just this new app/game icon
So sad, it's such a fun idea, I kind of hope they just release it in a larger package with other Mario games perhaps, or in some form rather than it just vanishing entirely... happy MAR10...
Sega should just release the original Crazy Taxi on Switch, take the PC or Xbox version and port it over, I'd buy that in a heartbeat, regardless of the soundtrack
@kirbygirl it's not bad, really, perhaps updates have fixed the shadow casting a little, though sure, it takes some getting used to, and so you may have to fuss with it before making your next jump, but the game isn't timed, so no rush! Visual design is fantastic and so far it's a fun take on a Limbo-like game, esp if cheaper
It lets you drive a DeLorean, sign me up! I spent so long unlocking that in Horizon Chase Turbo Will hope it runs as well and maybe isn't as foggy as the gameplay video posted above
My first gamecube was black, though I had a purple wired controller, but then that was stolen out of my dorm on move-out day, so I picked up a Platinum Silver one using left over flex money on my university ID in the fall and it's still going strong!
Feel like this method for creating a trailer makes no sense, the game looked better on N64 than this trailer shows, and if you actually rendered the 3DS version in HD, it'd be much closer to how it would appear on Switch if ever. This guy is doing a MUCH better job showing off OOT3D running at HD resolution, and with HD textures: https://youtu.be/yB36JWnBvak
@Bunkerneath at least the Bud Light console was also a projector, and really, it's a computer inside. Also beer seems more like what you'd have WHILE playing video games, vs fried chicken, but maybe that's just me
A Final Unity is really the best Star Trek game I've ever played...would LOVE an HD remaster of that, using all the existing audio files but I guess re-rendering all the cutscenes and updating the graphics, which might be impossible or at least as much work as the Lucasarts adventure remasters.
I'd be way more into this if it allowed for split-screen multiplayer for 2 or even 4 people on one console, especially if then you could go online with them. If I cannot play with my wife, or bring her online with me, why bother?
If it allowed for downloading content to watch offline, it'd be A LOT more attractive...if I'm sitting at home, connected to the TV, i'll use my Chromecast with Google TV over this always
Hopefully sales are good enough for maybe a full HD remaster of Sam and Max Hit The Road like they did for Monkey Island 1, 2, Grim Fandango, and Full Throttle
I agree with this, I'm all for a more-linear racing game where I pick races and race them rather than having to consult a map, ask for directions, and hope I find where to start a race, and then get lost along the way because the game in no way tells me where to go during the race ::cough::Burnout Paradise::cough::
