Re: Oops, Yoshi's Woolly World Featured In Switch 2's "Compatible Switch Games"

ChromaticDracula

I noticed this during the direct!!! Admittedly I think I saw it and my brain saw crafted world but clearly it was wooly world. There was a brain and eye sight disconnect.
… speaking of, Nintendo please combine Yoshis wooly world and Kirby Epic Yarn into one game and let me play as Yoshi in the one game and Kirby in the opposite. Think of it like playing as Knuckles in Sonic 1.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Is Coming To Switch 2

ChromaticDracula

@Skunkfish same!! I’m only about 4 hours in. I should’ve waited but I never expected it to come out for switch 2!
At this point now I have no motivation to even continue before I get too far and have to redo it on Switch 2.
It’s really just because I don’t always have access to the TV and I’d benefit immensely from being able to play handheld. (Not interested in PS Portal.)

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Is Coming To Nintendo Switch 2

ChromaticDracula

This game is honestly really good. Can’t speak for it at launch but I got it about 4 months ago and WOW. It’s my favorite Star Wars game since shadows of the empire on N64. It has everything and the sound is stellar! Switch 2 is going to make me sell my PS5 and just get all my games over again on Switch 2. Having the option to play them handheld is really a game changer (again.)

Re: 'RAIDOU Remastered' Brings ATLUS' PS2 Supernatural RPG To Switch This June

ChromaticDracula

When they first showed the character still all cool-like with the things between his fingers, I was like, “is that Shohei Yakumo from Shin Megami Tensei V?!”
Then they said Devil Summoner and I was like, “is it him and he is getting a spinoff?!”
I can’t unsee it now… game looks absolutely awesome and I’m probably getting it. never played this entry before and I will support Shin Megami Tensei until the day I die.

Re: 'Nintendo Today', A New Mobile App, Will Deliver Fresh Switch 2 News Every Day

ChromaticDracula

I really love this so much. Nintendo is becoming less and less reliant on other services to push their own information and content out.
We got the music app, the Nintendo online chat app, and now this news app. I love that for them and it feels like they’re in pursuit of being a fully independent content company. Go Nintendo!
EDIT: Fear not, NintendoLife, I will still always come here for my news too. I can bet you the Nintendo Today app won’t have those fire puns and this community is unmatched.

Re: Chrono Trigger's Lifetime Sales Have Now Surpassed The Five Million Mark

ChromaticDracula

It’s criminal this isn’t more widely available. I have the DS version thankfully but would love to play this more modern consoles, ideally the ability to play both on TV and handheld at will ::cough cough:: Switch/2.
They would have had to release it by now if they weren’t working on a remaster/remake. I’m highly confident we’ll see one of the above this generation.

@Gamebits TIL there’s an iPhone version! What?! Very cool, may check that out even though I’m not a fan of phone gaming.

Re: M2 Is Working On A Brand New 'Night Striker' Game

ChromaticDracula

Flying✅
Cars ✅
Flying cars✅

Basically has everything I need. I love the way this looks so far so I’ll be adding this to my list. Will be checking out the earlier titles as I’m not familiar with them! If all goes according to plan I’ll be buying the Operation Night Strikers compilation!

Re: Star Fox Veteran's New Game Is Channelling Serious Lylat Energy

ChromaticDracula

JUST ANNOUNCE IT FOR SWITCH ALREADY YA’COWARDS!
I was hyped to 100% reading the article, then I dropped to about 80% hype when it was mentioned no consoles announced yet. It has to release on Switch, right?
We need more onrails shooters like this!!! This being from the OG crew bumps it to the top of my list.

Edit: from the sounds of it, I’m glad I avoided watching the trailer. Screenshots and description look and read solid though. 🤞

Re: Celeste Composer Releases "Concept Album" For Studio's Cancelled Follow-Up, Earthblade

ChromaticDracula

This soundtrack is really good and I always love when game studios and devs release their game soundtracks on Bandcamp. I’m going to buy this later today when I get to work. I’m getting Tunic/Hyper Light Drifter vibes and that’s a really good thing… I’ve been mainlining shin megami tensei v’s soundtrack (❤️) but I think I’ll be switching over to this for a bit.

Re: Random: Honda Teases Real-Life Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Motorbike

ChromaticDracula

Oh cool, my least favorite design choice in Scarlet/Violet is now literally real.

I may argue, it pulls it off better in real life than it does in the video game somehow.
I just don’t care for the “anthropomorphic” stuff Pokémon is doing: bags of garbage are Pokémon, melting ice cream is a Pokémon, a piece of hardware is a Pokémon… a Pokémon that somehow is a motorbike? Seems weird and uninspired to me.

That being said, I’m always open to the next game. Hopefully they get back to some cool design choices like the original 151 or some of gen 2.

Re: "They Stole The Whole Game" - Horror Indie Dev Fights The eShop Scam Blatantly Ripping Their Work

ChromaticDracula

Someone, or a group of folks, would have to play every game ever to compare them to one another and have the ability to reference specific things between them within an “arms reach” at a time to determine plagiarism. For as much as I despise AI in general (artistic plagiarism, long term impacts on the human mind, environmental impacts, etc.), this would be a great way to utilize it: comparing games before they get published on storefronts.
It’s really embarrassing that these storefronts allow it but again, I don’t have a good solution for it other than using AI to run them through and “check” them.

Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?

ChromaticDracula

I often do end up eventually selling an old console but this one I won’t be selling. I have a lite and a regular launch day. I may end up selling the lite but we’ll see. My wife got me my Switch for Xmas in 2017 so that’s got a lot of sentimental value for me. If she gets me the 2, and the 2 truly plays everything from 1, maybe I’d sell the original.

Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?

ChromaticDracula

I beat this game when it came out in N64 only once. I was working toward a second completion on 3DS but never finished it…
That being said, I can’t even believe there is a debate here: the 3DS version has the bombers notebook improvements, which alone makes me choose that version. It’s by far the better version (because of gyro aiming, sharper graphics, portability…) unless I am really missing something…

…I keep meaning to go back and beat it. Someday I’ll fire up my 3DS and give it a go again. It’s not my favorite Zelda but also not my least favorite. That feeling of the constant time limit/impending doom is such a double edged sword… I can’t deal with it sometimes!

Edit: bomber’s notebook improvements

Re: Star Fox-Inspired Space Shooter 'FUR Squadron' Is Getting A Switch 2 Sequel This Year

ChromaticDracula

@brunojenso without any other port or version to compare it to, my experience with Rogue Flight on switch has been a delight. It’s buttery smooth, and fast-paced, if nothing else. It’s not like 4k sharp but I was never caught off guard by anything because I couldn’t see it or it was too blurry.
Sorry, it’s hard for me to answer the question well because it’s the only version I’ve played. It’s one of my favorites on switch right now though! I’ve been recommending it to everyone.

Re: Nintendo Music Adds Golden Sun Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included

ChromaticDracula

Wow I was not expecting this and it appears I am not alone.
I am 100% listening to this tomorrow at work. In fact, I’ve been playing game soundtracks exclusively while at work for the past month or so. When the next King Gizzard album releases that’s when I’ll go back to “regular” music but for now it’s been parasite eve and shin megami tensei v, all the way, every day.

Re: Poll: Is It Finally Time For Castlevania To Rise Again?

ChromaticDracula

I voted go back to the SOTN style but we all know for that to be possible, Iga would have to come back. But Iga is and has been working on his own stuff.

So, I’d be interested in a new side scroller style that doesn’t play it safe and that doesn’t try to just reboot the whole thing and “start from scratch.”
That being said, I’m interested in another SOTN style or a 3D lords of shadow style but really hoping it’s a like a Metroid Dread 2.5D kind of thing.
Ok I’m clearly all over the place here… I just want a new Castlevania game that is purposely nostalgic but also tastefully breathes new life into the franchise but is respectful to it.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Timings For The Switch 2 Direct In April

ChromaticDracula

For as excited as I am, I might be fine waiting until the initial hype dies down and get it around the holidays. I have such a massive backlog and I’m generally still very happy with my launch day switch and switch lite.
What’s really going to break me on that though, is if Metroid is a launch title. I’ll get in line so fast and eat my words.

Re: Capcom's Best-Selling Mega Man Game Reaches Another Sales Milestone

ChromaticDracula

@NicolausCamp holy crap, seriously??
I wasn’t aware of that, last one I played was X4 on PS1! I’m going to check that out… I have the X collection on Switch but never played X5 or beyond. 😬
But yeah that’s definitely the direction I want to see things go…. A few more options in the move-set and keep the ability to gain armor upgrades that change your appearance.
