@carlos82 Point I'm making SEGA would of kept the PC source codes rather then the Saturn versions when it came to porting it again to later systems Sonic R, Sonic CD, Sonic Adventure DX, Crazy Taxi to name a few, even with House of the Dead 2&3 port on the Wii, it's just the Xbox port of HOTD3 that had 2nd game as extra already unlocked on the Wii version more often then not it looses the original effects it had when been ported to the PC version only good thing was the boosted frame rate if we really wanted the Original version I think M2 would be the only option to port the Saturn version to modern systems
@carlos82 Well it be nearly impossible to port the Saturn version seeing how I think they only kept the source code of the slightly newer PC version, which is the closet your get to the original version on a newer console still think the Xbox version is a good buy, it has a another Panzer Dragoon game include and works on both the 360 and One
@Crono1973 Animal Crossing is very different to Zelda, With BOTW you can beat it and game ends pretty fast too if your a speed runner while with AC it's a game that takes years to unlock everything unless your cheating even in the GC days it's always been one save that you couldn't back up, sure you could get more towns with more memory cards holding one each but again that was the only to visit other towns, since the DS it's been all online/wi-fi
@TheNewButler Both Switches are portable so why would you need to play this game on both?
Again the game is pretty big and takes alot time and even years to unlock everything if your not cheating it's meant to be a personal game, if you got family who want to play it as well, it's meant to be a team effort, help build the place, there's nothing stopping you from taking over the island rep when your playing it
That's my point tho if all the past games have been like this, why on earth you expect it to change all of sudden? honestly one island is big enough, and most people have their own switches now and are online.
Yet Nintendo is patching out cheats/glitches again tho I don't see why your making a big issue OH I can't play this game on both me switches and use the cloud save besides they already said there's a new type of cloud save coming for the game
It's rather bizarre you expect more then one island, I mean unless your going to cheat or just plain greedy
@TheNewButler Again this isn't the early 00s anymore, and why would you need more then one town? it takes long enough to build one up as it is, heck even in the GC era the main point was for 4 players to help build the place together take it in turns and as for cloud saves since AC is known for people cheating it's not really a big wonder why gotta make a new type of cloud save for it
@Crono1973 Thing is Modern consoles don't use Memory cards for primary saving anymore, main saves like for these games are saved to hard drive of the console since the Wii era so why would it change now? again only reason you could do in the GC version was due to being the only way to visit other towns, since they added Wi-fi you needed to either buy another copy of the game DS/3DS or another console Wii/Switch stop living in the 2002
To be fair there were some clues in Amiibo festival, mainly with the desert island escape, with being able to build tools, that also break after use, and looking for materials, food actually having a effect on the characters when they eat them so far I think new horizons is the best game in the series
@TheNewButler Yet all the past Animal Crossing games all had one town per console even the Wii one You only could have more then one town on the gc and I guess the n64 one if you had a spare memory card, and that was the only way to visit other towns, since Wi-fi entered the series it's always been like this. in short just get another switch if you can't share
@Big_Nook touch a nerve eh? only thing better about Luigi's mansion 3 was the graphics, wasn't scary at all, and the story felt really short, no reason to replay it could of done with a hidden mansion/harder mode rental at best
love how with the Nintendo's remakes of GBA/DS era games they always seem to miss the game breaking glitches nearly all the Mario & Luigi RPG remakes had them don't no one test these games anymore?
@Coach_A They could always add that in later, or could do with something about the severs, putting the main focus on the new Doom's multiplayer over the classics
@kepsux Yeah I wouldn't take much noticed of Famitsu, to me this seems like the biggest and most detailed Animal Crossing ever made, so for me that is perfect
@T7Hokage017 Cus 2D animation is basically dead these days unless it's a anime in the west that doesn't really fly at the box office honestly I don't see the issue really, having a full CGI Mario film sounds perfect, and most people liked Mario and Rabbids kingdom battle
@retro_player_22 When the mobile version still has a better version then the Switch and is alot cheaper it's really bad, I don't see the point of giving us the rom again and again, only hacked with a drop dash when they already have a near perfect remake in there assets, which they could elither just give to people on consoles which we all been asking or go even further by adding the beta features/zones... instead we get one of M2's worst offings yet
It would make sense for them to have in Sonic 2 the movie, you already got Tails at the end clearly looking for Sonic to come back to mobius, could see it being one the things Robotnik discovers while being lost in the mushroom dimension or somehow gets a ring to reach Sonic's home world
@sikthvash Kinda surprised people forgot how Nintendo works with this sort of thing, there won't be another Smash game intill the next Nintendo Console, it's nothing new, Nintendo normally only makes one Smash Game per console as for the next gen Smash game, I think it would have all the content Ultimate had, plus more, unless there's licensing issue like last time, even then that was only Konami with Snake.
People need to be patient and enjoy whats on offer atm
@JR150 it's obvious quite ob why Joker is in Smash, just for free advertising, tho it's getting quite stupid now with wanting people to beg for a Switch port, it aren't the Wii U, if they port it, it will sell simply due to being portable and the fact there's a lot of fans on the Switch Platform I guess Atlus like other companies hate money
@Nic-Noc20th-C think in a way Namco can be worse then SEGA when it comes to their arcade stuff I mean how many times can they port just Pac-Man and Galaga from the early 80's? I find their 90's arcade games seem to have alot more content then the one screen 80s games they keep doing
@MaxlRoseGNR This is a pretty big let down, it's took them nearly 2 years just to release Sonic 2 again only now with the Drop Dash.. yet in 2018 M2 was making a big deal about putting some real effort into this https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/11/sega_ages_sonic_the_hedgehog_2_might_be_the_best_version_weve_ever_had restoring beta features or ideas Sonic Team couldn't add at the time, M2 have remade old SEGA games before and made them better then ever like with Virtua Racing... yet with Sonic 2 this is pretty lazy, they could of at least include a beta version to play with like Disney did with Aladdin * or the Mega Play arcade version *even Sega Ages Sonic 1 had that I won't be getting this
Could of at least made more use of the coins then just being a way to get more hearts, perhaps giving Luigi different powers or even costumes like odyssey had.
@ouroborous Yeah this just seems lazy, the main game itself seem rather short it's not like there's any extra you unlock once you beat it, like a mirror mansion or any after game stuff would of been more worth it if they did single player DLC with multiplayer bit like GTA IV's two DLCs worked, new side story and some online mode stuff
@Bobb Quite right, it was cheaper, and had more games for it of course the other main reason it failed was due to the lack of CD roms, lost out on alot RPG games or other big games they couldn't fit onto a cart That said I always wanted to trade my PS1 for a N64 back then, even with the PS2 we only got that cus it had a DVD player and I guess for alot of parents it was the safest console to get that wouldn't be dropped due to how long the PS1 lasted when I really wanted a Dreamcast or a Game Cube for their exclusives
Pretty simple really, it's not like you can take the PS5 or Xbox X on go/double it as a handheld There might be PS Now Steaming and such but it aren't the same as playing it on the actual hardware
@sikthvash can't be any worse then the Mario live action movie XD if anything I think the changes to animation would be the same minor ones Mario got in the rabbids kingdom battle crossover, seeing as Minions and Rabbids came from the same designers/animators
SEGA should pull their finger out and get Daytona USA on the Switch already even finally release Daytona USA 2 at last would prefer that over another port of Sonic 2
@Alpha-2002 We already had Sonic Adventure III, it's Sonic Heroes or Sonic 06/Unleashed would make sense if they either rebooted the adventure games or made something new
@sixrings If ACA did this it wouldn't have any online multiplayer only online thing they do is high scores which aren't that important in a 1 on 1 fighting game pretty bad when the Xbox 360 era has proper online multiplayer for basically all of it's arcade games/Sega Genesis that had any form of multiplayer/co-op and here we are in 2020 with the Switch that lacks this basic thing unless it's a Nes/Snes game PS4 also has this problem but at least has that share play feature which fixes the issue somewhat
@KBuckley27 same, Baby Blue and bright Yellow... aren't really great colors/designs The Base Switch is fine grey with blue and red joycons but I do miss when consoles used to have a theme based on games for it, the 3DS had tons of great designs
@Kirby_Girl Yeah been thinking that, this really has everything you want in a Smash Bros game, you got all the main crossover characters Snake, Sonic, MegaMan, Pac-man, Ryu, Simon most of the stages from all the games Really only dlc I would want now is just a proper adventure mode like the one melee, where it's like a side scrolling platformer but get to see a bunch of Nintendo worlds other then that the only dlc I'll get for this is just Banjo, don't really need any of the other fighters
@RupeeClock Would be more interesting if M2 just put back in the original tracks from the recent beta/PC version that would make it appear new compared to the past Sonic 3 ports we gotten in the last console gens
GameCube's Gameboy player already dose this, heck you can even use a gba as a controller with that, and the add ons like the e-reader and game boy printer
