That looks refreshing!

I'm not interested in Paper Mario at all, but to me there's an obvious logical fallacy here:

1. TTYD is the best Paper Mario
2. The Switch version is the definitive way to play this game

If you accept these premises, how can you finally rate the OG version number 1?

Just gives the game! The Switch became so boring recently, I guess they want us to clear out our backlogs once and for all.

I like retro stuff and might be interested but ... Japanese only?!!

Great if you find anything for yourself, but as for me the Switch was basically a Balatro machine in April and I would go to PS5 for my other gaming needs.

It worked for me indeed. But the book is disappointing. I don't like the layout. The font is too small and its shape doesn't quite match the pixelated graphics. It looks amateurish to me in terms of graphic design.

How could they make it look so ugly?

@Qwiff

I've just returned to Yoku after having left it at some 33% a couple of years ago. It's really cozy and relaxing.

It's still nowhere to be found over the European eshop. That's a case for some investigative journalism, #nintendolife!

@N00BiSH

I did not expect anything, just said it would be cool to see a boosted version.

That's a really good one. Still excited to play it!

I wish it had a well done upgrade in graphics department.

The last scene from the movie "Tár" actually presented something in the line of a Monster Hunter symphonic gig.

I do love the series as an arcade head. But for this price they could include some more content: cabinets' pics, posters, leaflets, etc. Also, their frontend layout is very basic. Would like to see something more easy on the eye.

I only want Shining Force. But man, I want it so badly!

@PinderSchloss

Definitely! The graphics are not bad but the way they mix their colour palettes seems random and makes my eyes sore. Still interested in the game, though.

@nkarafo

A good point. OT2 is a bigger game in terms of budget and personnel employed, so may be it's not a fair comparison. Actually I got all 3 of them, played a little bit of each not finishing any yet. To me OT2 is the best when it comes to the characters and story-telling. SoS got those super nice visuals and CE is a very solid RPG too. Not easy to pick one. I would recommend all 3 to the fans of the genre.

This is really awesome. This port was already outstanding in its previous version and was critically acclaimed. Despite that, they put their time and effort to make it even better. It should be an example for all the developers.

There will be a Direct, I guess. And full of 1st party stuff but nothing on NS2. This will be a Direct meant to squeeze as much as possible from the current-gen console.

Got Blashpemous 2 yesterday and it will be my game of the weekend. And maybe some Sea of Stars on the PS5.

Looks like a cheap ripoff.

How is this game now? Has it been patched? I like the overall idea and the graphics but I'm put off by the hearsay it doesn't run well on Switch. Anyone knows if it is any better in 2023?

I already have 4 their controllers, and an arcade stick (custom modded), so I don't really need it. But how exciting it would be to grab one!

Wow, that's cool! I wish there were more such documents about the newest games.

I wonder what happens to NSO when Switch becomes obsolete. Will the games disappear? Or will they let us keep them forever on our systems?

Parasite Eve, anyone remeber that one? I'd love to have on Switch!

@SNES64DD

There is more informative journalism in that post of yours than in the whole NL's article

Updated. Don't need glitches anyway and want to play the game as intended by the creators. It's great enough to trust them.

I don't like it when they mix old-school pixel graphics with hi-res graphics in the menus and stats. These styles just don't match and when they come together the screen looks like a mess. This was the reason I could not play Dragon's Quest remakes and the Tactics Ogre remaster.

Now this looks ugly!

I don't need these games to be original if they stay playable, well-designed and meaty!

@Falien

How much better and when?

Why do you always omit Hamster's Arcade Archive releases in these rundowns?

@NinjaNicky

I have both a Switch and a PS5 but I would say that the Switch is my primary console. I spend much more time playing it than the PS5 and buy more games for it.

Management games are not my cup of tea, but that review was nice to read.

@John_Deacon

Thanks for help!

I would like to know how it compares to the previously released Turrican collection. Informative journalism should cover that basic issue.

@tanaka2687

Agreed! Especially that there are so many different fonts being used.

@Clankylad

Thanks for sorting it out! Not a day one for me for that price, definitely.

Anybody here played this game? Is it fun and, if so, in what way? Never played it but I used to like Advance Wars and (before that) Cannon Fodder for Amiga.

How lucky we are to live in the Switch era and look at things like this as just some curios. Imagine the mainstream games looking this way.

@moodycat

Gunsmoke and Sunset Riders for two good Wild West games. Also Call of Juarez. And there's something with "redemption" in title.

@BenAV @mariomaster96

Actually, I don't like this one coming out so close to XC3. It effectively provides people like us from kicking off both games on the release day which is always a pleasure.

My Switch runs ver. 1.7.1 and claims this is the latest. And it's July already.

Technically speaking it was probably Pong but the first game I really dived into was Jet Set Willy for the ol' Speccy. It gave that incredible sense of exploration despite the limited resources.

You're right, I meant digital

@JH1022

It's already out on PS5 for quite a long time. It was even discounted already.

@sword_9mm

Same here! Metroidvanias are one of my favorite genres and I've read it's a good one, but after a couple of hours I've lost any incentive to play it. At least it performs well on the PS5 so maybe I'll give it another go one day.

It may lure you with the earthboundish vibes and then turn out to be an underdeveloped crap. Actually, I don't have time and patience to play RPGs short of top tier ones. On the other hand, there is still a chance that it'll be a unexpected gem.

Well, on Switch it may be Shredder's Revenge or Triangle Strategy so far. But my REAL game of the year is Elden Ring (it may well be my game of the decade).
