I swear that thumbnail looked like Paw Patrol. Not a cross over I expected.

Dragon Quest VII reimagined looks like it will become the definitive version of that game. I might do a replay of it.

To me, a remake of IX with the multiplayer kept intact, and progress saved to guest players, would be very, very welcome.

Imagine Howard Shore not being credited for the The Lord of the Rings soundtrack just because he doesn't own the copyright.

The biggest thing I want for GC NSO is Four Swords Adventures.

Any hope we'll get the spiritual prequel FF Four Heroes of Light?

Sony: Packs Astro Bot in for free with the PS5.
Nintendo: Please pay us 6€ for our tech demo.

So one less incentive for people/families to buy physical, is what I get from this.

To me it sounds more like them trying to figure out how they can ease people into the full digital console future.

@Nanoline52 very happy to see someone else spread the word about these oft forgotten remakes! We need them released in the west!

Sells Activision cloud rights to Ubisoft...
Next Up: Microsoft acquires Ubisoft!

@-wc- it seems others answered your question before I could and now that I know that 2 of the games aren't even on the game card I have no reason to ever buy this.

My guess would be Kit and Krysta. They've met before, as far as I know. Not sure if they fit the "well-known" tag. More likely than any of the other seemingly serious suggestions above though.

This is pretty awesome! I've started to prefer physical releases that come out a while after the digital release since then we could get the final patched game on the gamecard, though not always.

Patches is literally the only reason I'm holding off on buying Chrono Cross physically on Switch.

I would say this is too good to be true, but I also can't hide the fact that this would be very exciting if it isn't.

If it supports Switch game cards too then count me in day 1, and I usually wait years to move to the next gen.

"Lovecraftian" is the Dark Souls of horror buzzwords.

@PikaPhantom played it on Switch and PC. Didn't experience problems playing on 120 fps even. On Switch it's 30 fps but it's not bad really. It plays well enough.

Anyone know if this will have 2 player mode available? A cursory search didn't provide an answer.

The Dolphin team is saying Valve is to blame for this, Valve is saying it was Nintendo who told them to do it, and Nintendo is saying get rekt Team Dolphin.

Surprised Valve is getting off the hook so easily by basically everyone. St. Gaben the Holy is the winner again.

Great news! The 3DS version "had" multiplayer but it suffered the worst lagging that I've ever experienced in a game. If this gets fixed for the Switch release, and it gets an English release then count me in!

I'm hoping they fix that jumping part in the clouds with the spirals. It was quite hard to judge the depth of things, being isometric and all. Didn't look like much had changed from what they showed of it in the trailer tho...

The best way to respond to this would be to immediately release CoD on Switch, provided they did like every one else and foresaw this coming, and thus secretly started porting it.

We all know "Nintendo" can run CoD remembering the Wii U era. No one says it has to run at 4K 60 to be CoD.

For someone who couldn't stand the PSP's 2D FFIV, I'll probably pass, pixel font or not. If they do a presentation more akin to the DQIII remake that was announced then I might be more interested.

Funny how more than half the list are Capcom games, yet none of them are on sale in Europe.

Who do they think will buy them for 39,99£ (3U on 3DS) or 49,99£ (3U on Wii U)???

Great, now can we please have this for all their EU titles?

So which console was this originally on? Couldn't find that in the article and cbb to look up a wiki.

@Fighting_Game_Loser Watched that 8 hour vid too and it was amazing! I'm a big fan of Super Bomberman R so I can't wait for R2 to come out.

So that's why every store has been out of stock of joy-cons..

This must be their last stock of non-OLED switches.

I loved the first three games on the DS, even liked Miles Edgeworth and the other attorney game.

However, Dual Destinies went a very different way and adopted a humor style more in the veins of childrens animes, and it made me lose interest in the whole series.

I barely ever leave a game without finishing it but I stopped playing this one because it just wasn't fun.

I played the 3DS game a fair bit and my problem was the lack of change in the gameplay after you'd learnt the basic rules. It was fun for the first 3 hours but knowing that I'd gotten half way through and the rest would be exactly the same made me quit it. The music was enjoyable but also didn't have enough variety after a while.

A remaster shouldn't just be a re-release, it needs enough for it to be called a remastering.

For games I believe some improvements to both the audiovisual presentation and the gameplay are musts.

If company just wants to make the lowest effort then re-release the games as a collection. That is the modern alternative and no one will complain about it because expectations will match (if the collection is done properly ofc).

Out of spite I hope Nintendo goes and makes the next Switch as powerful as a regular old Gameboy just to see Microsoft/Activision be forced to port CoD to it.

Microsoft really doesn't know how Nintendo works - all of a sudden Nintendo will decide to make the next console a piece of cardboard.

I wonder why the final battle couldn't run at 60 fps on Switch.

I might actually consider picking this up on Switch now.

A shame that there won't be a physical copy with this patch preinstalled though.

@CederBagel Yeah a lot of the replies I got mentioned themes. It shouldn't be hard to implement, but I honestly don't see them doing it now that so much time has passed.

I figure if they had wanted to do it they would've done so early on so that they could've charged people for new themes or have them as rewards for things. Well, I could always be wrong. Let's hope I am.

I wouldn't be surprised if people have set up "stability"-joke bots for whenever this happens.

Also, the new things brought with this update are pretty underwhelming, but what features are left that are highly requested and that have any chances of being implemented still? Local save backup is probably never gonna happen, menu music neither.

So yeah, what are people's biggest wishes for updates for the Switch OS?

Conker Pocket Tales please

More coop games is always welcome. This sounds a bit like Pode, but I struggled with its its early cryptic puzzles.

Zelda because I want that awesome tune in Link's Awakening.

BTW the trailer showed the COOP option that was present in the original EO3 so maybe we're getting an online mode with it!

This must be why Yuzo Koshiro has been posting so many EO remastered tracks on his youtube channel and twitter lately.

@Dom_31 the original first DS game had automapping of where you walked, so I'm not sure if they meant something in addition to this.

I've played EO 1 on the DS and 4 on the 3DS and I find 1 to be a superior game. Replayed 1 recently on the DS and it holds up really well.

I'm definitely picking these up, but not at full price, cause I've already bought them once.

Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64 had an amazing multiplayer mode that surpasses anything else on system. It would be perfect to have online multiplayer with it.

@HeadPirate I agree with your points, but let me just point out that not all players can beat the game in those 10 hours, like some players with disabilities or someone who is less skilled at gaming. Maybe the reviewer could state that they beat the game in 10h instead?

This is one of my gripes with sites like howlongtobeat - sure some people can beat Contra in 1 hour like is stated there, but most people would take much longer to beat it.

I had no idea a different compilation had just recently released, so this review is like starting a tv show from the 4th season.

Perhaps this would've worked better as a feature article discussing the practice of the aforementioned companies?

This review missed the chance to mention that many of the great PC-engine ports didn't make it into this compilation.

On the Sony side they were able to make them delay the PS3's store closure but that might've been because of the consoles requiring internet to work if that internal clock's battery went dry or something?

Would be cool to see them team up with Kit and Krysta, now that Nintendo left from there.

OK, but how is it doing on AskJeeves?

Great news! Also, Playstation is conveniently not mentioned.

EDIT: I blame it on it being early morning or that it got added later xD

@antisumo Yes I had those big-budget movies that bomb in mind too, and to me they correspond to expensive games that bomb like Cyberpunk, Evolve, No Man's Sky. You could say this would have been bad for No Man's Sky which was able to redeem itself, but maybe it also would've made them reconsider releasing the game when they did?

Post-release updates could maybe help those smaller game Studios fix things they didn't notice because their budget for playtesting and QA is much smaller and therefore they'd rely more on user-feedback, but for big studios/companies like Game Freak/TPCi there's no excuse for some of the things that were in the game at release.

I honestly wish the video game industry would be more like the movie industry in the sense that they are forced to make the release of the product its best. Yes, games can be updated like any software, but still. I can't help shake the feeling that post-release patches like these were just a part of the original development schedule.

It's 2022 so Cross-play isn't rocket science to implement. I read Capcom's statement earlier to why it wasn't possible and you could interpret their typical vague business answer as them not being allowed by Nintendo, and now probably not Sony/Microsoft.

It's a shame and it's THE reason I didn't pick this game up for 20 € during black week. I've got a PC and a Switch and would love to play coop with both. A second Switch is just out of the question for financial reasons.

Finally the long drought of interesting rewards is over!
