I loved this game, and I deeply want it on my Switch. I get some people were upset that it was a departure from the other games in the series, but it's fantastic and needs to be released again with a bit more horsepower under the hood.
I would love a remastered, retranslated Castlevania II. Still 2D pixels and everything, just maybe add some fun lighting effects... but it REALLY needs better localization.
Japanese one feels pretty generic to me, whereas I don't often see frozen girl like that, so NA/EU wins for originality, also for matching the game itself better.
I love the large sky above on the Japanese one, but I'm bored by the box art trope of all the characters just standing there, so the NA box gets the vote from me, just for having a more interesting scene composition.
Seeing people saying some wrong things. You don't buy the extra content, the Anniversary Edition, whether upgraded or purchases whole, includes all the Creation Club content with the purchase. I have the PC version, this is how it works. Also, here is some official explanation of what's included: "The Anniversary Edition and Upgrade includes over 500 unique pieces of content from Creation Club, including quests, dungeons, bosses, weapons, spells, and more."
I watched it about halfway through. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't especially good either. Had very little to do with Resident Evil, an adaptation in name only. I found the flashback stuff more compelling than the future times stuff, which looked cheap and unconvincing. Overall, I rate it a "meh"
Everybody talking about reviewers not finishing the game, if they got an advance copy it's entirely possible it wasn't broken when they reviewed the game, and a day one patch (1.01) inadvertently broke something since then. Patches break things all the time.
I thought "beat 'em ups" were games like Streets of Rage or Golden Axe, where you scroll along and beat up multiple enemies. "Fighting games" are 1 on 1 type games like this and King of Fighters or Mortal Kombat?

Re: Iconic GoldenEye "Gong" Sound Potentially Missing From Switch Online Version
Plays fine for me in the actual game, just started playing it a bit ago, it sounds great.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Prince Of Persia
I obviously voted for the Japanese one, but I actually like the NA one a lot, you guys are being too harsh.

Re: Review: Tactics Ogre: Reborn - A Decent Remaster Of A 16-Bit Strategy Classic
A great game, but not enough effort put into this release to be worth the price they're asking.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch (Again)
@project_ Incorrect, Anniversary Edition comes with all Creation Club content ever released, plus a bunch more that wasn't released previously.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch (Again)
Would love this, the Switch version doesn't have mods, and so would benefit the most from all the creation club content.

Re: SNK Announces New Entry To The Fatal Fury Series, Its First Since 1999
Too bad SNK is owned by that murderous Saudi prince so I will never buy anything of theirs again.
Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In August 2022
"Exciting."
I'm sure for someone.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon
@Tailesque Funnily enough, I thought the Japanese goofy blood drop font looked tacky.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon
I always like seeing Dracula, but honestly the JP cover is too busy, and I don't like how Drac seems to be getting his eye poked by Hugh's nose.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Minecraft amiibo Launching This September
It's actually kind of weird to see Steve, I get he's the default but when you actually play Minecraft, you just... never see him anymore.
Re: Video Game Publisher Bandai Namco Appears To Have Be Hacked
@BloodNinja "This includes demands for millions of dollars."
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #104 - Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
I like both, voted NA though... something about the kart in the JP version feels off?
Re: Golfing Roguelike 'Cursed To Golf' Aces An August Release On Switch
Should be "set our sights," not sites. Like gun sights.
Re: Random: The World's First 'NFT Console' Has A Very Familiar-Looking Logo
NFTs have already crashed and burned, and these guys can't even come up with a compelling game plan (no pun intended) beyond "It's the future!"
I'll be surprised if these ever even ship, I'll eat a hat store if it succeeds.

Re: Review: Capcom Fighting Collection - An Essential Buy For One-On-One Fighting Fans
Already played most of these to death... I'll buy it at $20 perhaps, for Darkstalkers, but not $40.
Re: Here's How Sonic 3's New Music In Sonic Origins Stacks Up To The Classics
I actually thought the Launch Base tracks were better, but the other two were "meh."
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #101 - Final Fantasy VI
US one isn't horrible or anything, I actually like it... but the Japanese one is so evocative! Excites the imagination just looking at it!
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
FINALLY got one! I check that page all the time, I've noticed the restocks seem to happen between 12pm-1pm EST, so check then!
Re: Check Out This New Track From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
I'm not usually a fan of rap being wedged into stuff (Mortal Kombat 11 trailer was terrible), but I don't hate this. It's adorably goofy.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #99 - Mario Strikers Charged
I really like Bowser in the Japanese version, but to me the NA version has the stronger composition. Japanese one feels a bit busy.
Re: Gallery: Eight Screenshots Of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II On Switch, Out Next Week
@the_beaver No, they look like PC/Xbox games from the 00s.
Re: Gallery: Eight Screenshots Of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II On Switch, Out Next Week
Looking forward to this, the price was right for me to pre-order, but I likely won't play till the post-launch DLC.
Re: Feature: The Saddest Games On Switch - Games To Make You Cry
Dark Souls is pretty endlessly bleak if you're paying attention. I didn't think of Gone Home as very sad?
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
FFS, could they try restocking more than 12 at a time?
Re: Japanese Neo Geo Classics 'Breakers Collection' Return With Limited Editions
@Rambler Sure, but genre names change over time as gameplay mutations and new technologies created new genres. Shooter, adventure, etc
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
Arrg, I want one of these so badly...

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan, Sparking Rumours Of A Port
Would love this, actually. Makes the most sense for Switch, since it's the only version where you can't add mods.
Re: FIFA Will Work With Other Developers To Launch Brand New Football Games
I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how hilariously terrible the first non-EA FIFA game is inevitably going to be.
Re: Former Konami Staff Discuss Elusive Castlevania Creator's Work
Maybe he developed anxiety problems. Also, I can't believe Castlevania III sold poorly, that game is one of the best on NES, hands down.

It's a cute design, but it's neither egg nor ma'am. Certainly not Eggma'am

Used the money they saved on their logo.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2022
My top wish list for Switch ports:
1. Breath of Fire III
2. Xenoblade Chronicles X
3. Metroid Prime Trilogy
Re: Random: Bizarre Animal Crossing: New Horizons Glitch Is Making Villagers Lose Their Clothes
Why use money bag and not the series leaf icon? Missed opportunity.
Re: Random: The Steve Aoki x Sonic Concert Is A Weird Way To Pass An Hour
I continue to not understand how Steve Aoki keeps getting work. Well, work beyond being a normal nightclub DJ anyway. Just totally unremarkable.
Re: Mini Review: Dr. Mario 64 - Diagnosis: A Bit Rubbish
Says game doesn't lend itself to skilled play, then says he cant beat the story mode because it's too hard. Hm.
