I was hoping for Crash Bandicoot, but this is a fitting addition even though I never really played Kingdom Hearts. Maybe I'll finally play them when they hit the Switch.
@ShikabaneHime13 Which would be kind of absurd if that's the case given Sea of Thieves had their Pirates DLC and it did great because frankly most people don't really care about that stuff. They see the characters, not the actors.
I think Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask/Twilight Princess would lend themselves better to an Unreal makeover, you really need that cell shading to make Wind Waker work.
I nearly fell out of my seat when they showed Advance Wars, thought Nintendo had just let this series die off for good. So glad to see it make a comeback!
I had no idea this character went all the way back to the 50's, when I saw the headline I thought they were just remastering a cheap tie in game to the Disney Channel show
Can't wait to play the Sonic Boom version: at random times during the game you shout "DEVELOPER GLITCH!!!" and punt-kick the game map and scatter cards everywhere!
I haven’t played Pikmin since the original, this is a lot of fun so far. Very charming in its characters and world building.
The one thing I miss is using the right analogue stick to shuffle your Pikmin around your character, that was extremely useful for quickly farming flowers and drinking nectar, it’s a bit tedious having to lock on each thing to throw a Pikmin at it.
The studio is probably sacrificing what they think will likely bomb in a regular movie season to see if they can start enticing viewers back to theaters, take advantage of what little competition there is and if nobody bites, it was going to lose them money anyway.
@Wolfgabe Oh yeah I’ve heard nothing but good stuff about the game. I’m just saying they might need to get better artwork to sell the game on its quality!
I “get it”, I know why it’s a classic, but it just doesn’t have the flow of Super Mario World (my all time favorite game) and will always remain kind of the red headed stepchild of the Mario series for me.
@Kalmaro I came here to literally say the exact same thing. It wrecked it for me to the point I wound up returning it on Steam, but I won’t hesitate to re-buy it if Devolver were to patch in a map (and maybe make the intercut “human moments” far less dull and tedious). To me, map in a Metroidvania is absolutely essential make it fun, otherwise just running around in circles checking every nook and cranny becomes tedious and boring very quickly.
I loved this game, but I’m gonna be honest: I’ve never understood the appeal of Collectors editions with figures. They always turn out to be kinda jicky and similar figures go for way less when not sold as part of the set.

Re: Disney Magical World 2 Is Getting Re-Released For The Switch
They had me going for a sec thinking Kingdome Hearts was going to be on Switch....
Re: Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Moves Closer To Switch Release With Age Rating
Great, been waiting for this, I prefer keeping all my indies on the Switch if they're not on Game Pass.
Re: Zelda: The Wind Waker Reimagined Inside Unreal Engine Is A Sight To Behold
I think Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask/Twilight Princess would lend themselves better to an Unreal makeover, you really need that cell shading to make Wind Waker work.

Re: Rumour: Valve Is Working On A "Switch-Like" Portable Gaming PC
As long as they don't make the mistake of having them be Linux based again like they did those Steam Machines, I think there's promise here.

GOTY right there!!!!!!!
Re: The Plot Synopsis For Sonic's Second Movie Outing Has Been Revealed
Sounds like the studio has more confidence in the IP, so they're shuffling out the invented characters no one cares about. Definitely an improvement!

I'll just wait until we can go to cons in person again, we're approaching that point. Can't stand trying to do social stuff online.
Re: "Nintendo Switch Has Games" - And Now It Has An Expensive Calculator, Too
"sure to be popular with all students and engineers,"
No, it probably won't be at all since I'm sure most classrooms and workplaces won't allow you to whip out a gaming console.

Re: Sega To Share "Something Special" In Its First Live Stream Of 2021
I’ve learned not to get too hyped for Sega’s teases, they’re always underwhelming.
Update: And sure enough.

Dammit.

I think it’s Mr. Pachter who isn’t very smart here. But when has that been anything new.
Re: Digimon Survive Has Been Delayed To 2021
@Noid You must not have see much Digimon then. That was the main reason I liked the anime more than Pokémon growing up, it had a darker edge to it.

Come on guys, it’s not hard to figure out
Re: It's Official, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has Been Delayed Until Spring 2021
Better that than a half-broken game with half a million updates and DLC to “fix” it over the next 6 months

Re: A Subnautica Physical Release Appears To Be Surfacing On Nintendo Switch
I can’t comment on the quality of the game itself, but woof, that artwork reminds me of bad Wii shovelware.....

Re: Soapbox: 25 Years On, I Still Can't Get Into Yoshi's Island
Cool, I’m not the only one after all!!

Re: Nintendo Has Removed Pikmin 3 From The Wii U eShop Ahead Of The Switch Release
@JimmySpades I think you accidentally put a 7 after the 3. No big deal accidents happen 😂

Re: Super Mario Sunshine Is Now 18 Years Old
Used to love this game when I was a kid! Hope it gets remastered at some point, way underrated (assuming that’s not just nostalgia talking)
Re: Dead Cells' Glorious Prisoner's Edition To Launch In August With All DLC On The Cart

Re: Here's Your Very First Look At The Cuphead Show "Coming Soon" To Netflix
Interesting. Although I think the issue is that while it LOOKS like 1930s animation.....it doesn't MOVE like 1930s animation.
The game understood that difference.
