Of course, MHS is more light-hearted in terms of overall presentation and vibe. The story is more simple as well. It's definitely easier than the SMT games, but if you want challenge, you'll find a variety of special missions that will give you just that. There's also an online co-op mode. The MH setup has its limitations, but nevertheless it's a very good and polished game. I can easily recommend it. To me, it was more appealing than MH: Rise. Also, you may consider Ys IX, if you want a jrpg that's more on the darkish side.

There was a couple of games: Metroid, SMT V, MH Stories...

But in terms of hours being spent, nothing beat Isaac for me!

@CupidStunt

That actually brings up an interesting general question: are the early games of the 80's appealing only to them boomers like myself (for the purely nostalgic value) or do they offer any universal values to every possible person interested in quality gaming? Not that I know the answer, just wondering.

@Maulbert

This is a smaller time dev that probably does not have access to these platforms' libraries.

@CupidStunt

It's not an unjustified opinion as the gaming world went a long way from this era. But I've play Jet Pac by Ultimate Play the Game (later turned into RARE) just yesterday evening and had a blast with it! Or look at Software Projects' Manic Miner / Jet Set Willy series. And that's just a surface. I mean, there are many games on the 8-bit home systems of the early eighties that are all-time classics and therefore should be available to the modern audiences to appreciate, I guess.

That sounds right up my alley. Give me my Speccy games too!

Actually, I prefer the original, I guess. It's more clear.

@CharlieGirl

Yeah, same here! It feels so bland for a pack of classic shooters.

Shining Force from Sega Genesis online bundle.

It's my third playhtrough and I completely sunk into it again.

My wishes are those expensive Darius and NeoGeo Pocket collections! And some Hamster stuff, please!

@Yanina

Where does your avatar come from, if you don't mind? I like it so much.

Only have Zelda and Ring Fit. Had Mario Kart but I gave it to my friends' son. Love my Switch but most of these Nintendo blockbusters simply don't appeal to me.

@DOOMguy

That's exactly my issue with the controls! Devs, patch it please!

@OorWullie

That's right. It should be patched. Also, you cannot have your analog stick inverted for y axis and the motion controls regular at the same time. And that's the most intuitive and convenient control scheme for me: inverted stick + not-inverted motion controls for fine-tuning.

Apart from these minor issues, the game is awesome! A must have for retro shooters fans. Way better in terms of gameplay than Project Warlock and Ion Fury, even though these games are quite solid themselves.

I'm not interested in the game, but that's some nice PR effort.

@ObeseChihuahua2

And they could have somehow explored the sound department instead, as it was advertised. Not much difference to me but still.

@NinChocolate

Which ones do you mean? The Sega Genesis collection? Btw. I had recently the impression that Progear in Capcom Arcade is playing more smoothly than before, a patch maybe?

Unexpectedly I'm back to Axiom Verge. Never finished it when I got it as I get stuck at some 35%. This time I found a grapple and I'm ready to finish it eventually.

@Yanina Definitely not a joke. There's the same info on Nintendo Everything. I don't think NL would copy their jokes.

[EDIT] Probably a joke, after all. And an old one. It's a shame we're not getting this game. Also not very ingenious of NL to copy fake info that's not even fresh.

I would love to get this one. I guess it's not a joke as the Japanese links work.

My NS copy is not receiving any update. The article is misleading.

More on the average side, I guess.

I love the 2d soulslikes but there's something that visually puts me off. Maybe it's sort of too intense color wise? And as such it reminds those cheap hidden objects games?

@TheLightSpirit It's perfectly fine. That's what we are at this site for, I guess. Thank you for allowing me to clarify my point.

I would love a Jet Set Willy remake, a 2d one.

I used to love to play this one on an emulator a long time ago. But now on the Switch it lost its charm somehow to me. Too many more polished games round the corner and too little time.

@TheLightSpirit An interesting point, indeed. So, there's the first impression which is based on trailers, screenshots, and articles on sites such as our lovely NL. If something passes this stage, I would be seeing some real gameplay on yt. And then I would buy it or add to the wishlist or just skip. The real judging part, however, comes only after I'd actually have played the game. Accordingly, my initial post was not an expression of an opinion or judgement (meant as a point or a assertion) but just a recollection of my first psychological impression of that game (as an experience) which eventually turned out to be in line with this review.

My very first impression after seeing the trailer was: wtf, how can Square publish such a crap game?

MH: Rise with my MH themed Pro Controller

@Gavintendo This is just what the op sarcastically meant, I guess. It's a shame, actually, that they force me to download this data for sake of the features I may never use.

Still into Bravely Default 2. I got really hooked on this game from the release day. It's such a polished modern-retro jrpg!

@Itachi2099 Because the mobile version spies on you and the company makes profit selling the info they've gathered from the users to 3rd party companies.

This is very bad news because it means that we will have to way another couple of years for a proper 2D Worms game. That's a shame because after some 500 into WMD (playing with a human opponent), I could really use some change!

I'm staying with good ol' Fast RMX for now.

@nessisonett Never owned it. In what respect it is better than the Switch?

Never liked this kind of games, they seem so slow and boring. I like Civilization, though.

To me, the most surprising thing is 1-2 Switch over many great titles.

Bravely Default 2! A very good traditional but slightly modernized jrpg. Just to my liking!

Nice graphics, great audio but I wouldn't call the gameplay interesting.

I'm also very happy with this direction!

A very solid game! I also like that they've published a big free update.

That's some good news! I'll probably wait till the switch release to play it handheld.

Not much interesting, apart from Monster Hunter. It seems, we'll have a weak March after a decent February.

This month, I agree with NL assessment, having bought Arcade Stadium and Ghosts 'n Goblins and put Undermine and Rogue Heroes on the wish list.

Sorry to read this. This game seemed quite interesting.

Bravely Default 2! It absolutely exceeded my expectations. A great jrpg for those who value the retro vibe. And the graphics are not that bad, you can get used to it. In the field, it actually looks quite nice.

This is awesome news, see you on the servers!

It's Nietzsche, not Nietszche, isn't it?

@OorWullie Interesting, thank you!

@Shadowthrone Exactly! Moreover, The Lost Vikings is not even an arcade type of game.
