Re: Mini Review: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Still Outstanding On Switch

MGS 2 is has aged better actually. Both Switch versions run perfecly despite the ***** fps talk.

@The90sWereBetter
That was the ps3HD version, the original ran at 30fps. Mgs2 was 60 fps on all platforms except Switch. Not that it would matter since they all play and run identically in terms of how it looks like when you play.

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong's Price Appears To Have Leaked

They could easily ask a full price, but if this is true hats off for the developers!

Also I'm buying all indie games as digital so I don't mind if the physical is more expensive.

Edit: One question, why are they only revealing US and UK prices? Ever heard this little currency called Euro?

Re: Best Mario Kart Games Of All Time

How the hell is double dash so high. The game was so small with just a few tracks and the gameplay was bland. The graphics are dated. It makes me think it got the spot only for the co-op mode, and nostalgia. Most players seem to have rose tinted glasses on everytime someone mentions a gamecube game.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Best Way To Play, But 'Zelda Notes' Sucks

Read the opening paragraphs people ffs. That is not the score for the game, but for the upgrade value. Their original BotW score still stands.

At any rate what the hell is wrong with those screenshots? Why are they looking so blurry? Even my Switch 1 version looks better than that.

@Jeronan
The new pro controller is a lot better than the old one, though. The stick quality alone is best in the market.

Re: Best Xenoblade Chronicles Games Of All Time

Cia

Xenoblade 3 DLC is nowhere near as good as the main game.

My list:
6. Xenoblade 2 DLC Torna
5. Xenoblade 2
4. Xenoblade 3 DLC Future Redeemed
3. Xenoblade X
2. Xenoblade Definitive Edition
1. Xenoblade 3

Xenoblade 2 is a trash game, imo. The character designs are awful and the story is boring with weak main cast and even weaker villains. Otherwise the series is pretty much perfect! Xenoblade 3 and 1 are my favorite rpgs of all time.

Re: Rumour: GameCube Revival Planned For Nintendo Switch Online

Cia

Not interested. Metroid Prime was the best game on the console and we already have the Prime Remaster. In addition Pikmin 1 and 2 and Super Mario Sunshine were already released for the Switch.

The two interesting games would be Prime 2 and F- Zero X, but that's about it.

Re: Here's A Closer Look At The 'Echoes' In The New Zelda Game For Switch

Gimmick for the sake of gimmick. Based on the intro, the story will be as barebones as it gets. Zelda go save Link from Ganon. The only difference is Link and Zelda switching places.

I can already predict the final battle. Ganon will also use echoes against Zelda. Wow, never saw that coming.

Then again, I don't really care about the top down games. Unless Yoshiaki Koizumi were to write them, but no. Nintendo's greatest writing talent has been forced to make Mario games for the rest of his life.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Estimated Switch File Size Revealed

This is obviously not the next big Zelda game. The development time was like one year. It's just something for Zelda fans since the wait for the next main chapter will be long.

Personally I don't find the game appealing. Despite the fact EoW lends its whole look from Link's Awakening, I doubt this game will be nowhere near as engaging. I couldn't imagine a more boring way to start the game: Zelda is captured by Ganon the Cartoon Villain and Hero Link comes to save. The gimmick is Link falls in dark dimension and Zelda leads the show.

Compared to the mystical narrative of LA, the story here feels like a complete afterthought. Even the cover looks like a cheap photoshop job.

I just hope they don't make the puzzles too easy since there are many ways to solve them. Breaking the game is only fun when there are enough set limitations.

Developers have always been able to break their own games. Cheat engines and such are one example. Thing is, limitations have always existed for a good reason. A journey is not fun if you can just fly over the mountain (looking at TotK.) Same goes to building endless amounts of beds or boxes to climb up. This is not innovation. Aonuma is literally breaking the series, and he doesn't even realize it :/
