Although I am not personally interested in the SNES version of the game I think it is really cool that they are putting out a new cartridge for it in 2024.
I had no clue this game was that popular but it has been on my wishlist for awhile. The price isn't an issue since it is only 15 bucks, I just need to make time to play it. I definitely plan to do that though, looks very fun.
I enjoyed Braid back in the day on the 360 but that was back when indie games like this were a lot less common. These days with so many quality indie games being released on all platforms Braid was most likely always going to be left in the dust.
In my opinion better games have come out since then but I will always appreciate the game for what it contributed to the indie scene back then.
As long as it is backwards compatible I am more than ok with moving on to a newer system. Even though I have no plans of selling my Switch as I always keep my systems I still like to be able to play older games on newer hardware if possible so I can enjoy all the extra bells and whistles that provides.
My brother has this installed on steam deck and I tried it out and I have to say it is very impressive, makes you wonder why Nintendo can't put that kind of effort in to a remaster.
Although, I will admit the 3DS remaster is pretty good but once you can add the 3DS textures to this version this will be the definitive way to play.
I was wanting to play this one when it came out in so I don't know if I will have the patience to wait for the physical even though this is the type of game I would definitely like to have on a cartridge.
Just beat TOTK after 130 hours so I am pretty excited about that, thinking of playing Banjo Kazooie or Goldeneye on Switch until Sea of Stars comes out.
That is probably the next game I am looking forward to.
That's a shame, Superstars looks pretty good but Mania 2 could have been incredible.
I don't see why they didn't just hire the same team they did for Mania, since the new game is made by Sonic Team and Arzest I think there could have been room for both.
Excellent. I haven't delved too much into these games, probably my least played out of all the Zelda series so I am looking forward to giving them a try again.
I don't know if he was saying Pikmin were the most global in terms of popularity, I think maybe he meant that they were the most likely to be able to exist in the real world. Like they would make the most sense in the real world while a character like Mario would not.
It is not surprising, I think I would be better off buying all these games on Steam for far cheaper so I can play them on my Steam Deck where they will run and look better. In a mostly digital world that makes the most sense for me.
It's a shame that this was not real, it could have been really cool. I love seeing wacky ideas of out of left field like this, we need more games like that.
That sucks. I really liked The Last Ranger, it was one of the stand out games on the 3DS for me. It was a bit stressful at times but it was very satisfying to survive each round.
@Stocksy Emulation is great imo. If there is a legitimate means to buy a game I am all for purchasing it but if there isn't and I want to play it I don't plan to wait on a company to release it, life is too short. I am playing what I want to play when I want to play it and alot of these obscure games will probably never be released again.
I am really happy the Steam Deck is so good at emulation, it's a great time.
The state of the game is a problem sure, but the game itself seems to be the real problem. According to reviews it is based on outdated design and that isn't something you can just simply patch. I think we all saw this coming when it comes to this game though.
It's a broken record at this point but of course it is Zelda. I have put over 50 hours in the game and have yet to beat a dungeon. It is just too much fun exploring and doing random stuff.
I just finished up the story of Cadence of Hyrule after taking advantage of the free trial and I liked it so much I ended up buying the full game along with the DLC. It really is a great game, the music is absolutely fantastic and I can't wait to play through the Majora's Mask story.
I may actually check this one out. Would be great to get in the mood for Zelda in preparation for Tears of the Kingdom and you can probably beat it in the time the trial is active.
I think it could run it, but not without major concessions such as a lower resolution or a 30fps frame rate which by the terms Microsoft used would be as you would expect when it comes to games like that being ported to Switch.
It could be done but if it had online crossplay I think that wouldn't be fair to Switch owners going against people on more powerful hardware.
I am sure they would add an option to play against only Switch users if that was the case though.
That actually looks pretty awesome, if I didn't already own the digital version the physical would be worth it at that price. It's a great game and I wish they would have given us a physical to begin with when it first released because I definitely would have bought it.
I really wish they would just release the games digitally. These are likely to be overpriced and will take a year to even arrive at your doorstep. As a huge Jurassic Park fan I would love to be able to play these games.
I wonder if he would have left if he knew that he was not going to be reprising his role as Superman after all. Shame as he was a great Geralt and I don't really know much about Liam Hemsworth but hopefully he knows the source material as well as Henry did.
It really depends on how much that is compared to the amount she received for providing the voice in the previous games, if she was also paid 4k for those then it seems fair enough, though she should probably have seen a small jump at least. We don't have enough information to make a judgement here.
I have been playing through NEO The World Ends With You after having bought it several months ago and have been enjoying it thoroughly, can't wait to see where the story takes me.
It's awesome to see Rayman back, at this point it has been so long since we have seen the character that I wouldn't mind a Rayman 64 and Rayman 3 port to the modern platforms, even though 64 has been ported so many times.
This could be really great! With Sony closing their Japan studio I feel like we have seen a little bit of a shortage of Japanese games, I hope this helps.
I want to see the cool ideas of more obscure Asian independent developers.
Would it be cool? Yeah, but I have already fully completed both of those games and have played them regularly multiple times and as the years go by I have found myself wanting to replay older games less and less as I only have so much time and would rather use that time having new experiences.
I have been enjoying jumping into game types that I have much less familiarity with, it has renewed my enjoyment of gaming quite a bit.
Honestly even though I would probably buy a Wind Waker release just because I love the game I don't know when I would get around to playing it, I have not had an interest in replaying games I have already played a dozen times in quite awhile,
I find new experiences to be far more entertaining and that is coming from someone who replayed old games a few times a year in the past.

Those are actually really cool! I may have to boot the game up so I can redeem them as it is one of my favorite SNES games.
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Game Cartridge Design?
May be nostalgia talking but N64 all the way for me, the boxart they came in were best too, if a bit flimsy.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th July)
I have been playing through Paper Mario TTYD on Switch and have been having a really good time.
I played it way back in the day on GameCube but it has been almost two decades so I am enjoying rediscovering how good the game was again.

Re: Talking Point: The Games We Got Rid Of - What Were We Thinking?
I have never sold a game or system in my life. I have everything from when I was a kid up until now as an Adult.
Even if I never play them I always find it nice to look at them and revisit the memories and surprisingly most of them are in great shape.

Re: Gex Trilogy Collection Announced For Nintendo Switch
This is pretty fantastic. These games are classics and I feel like not that many people know about them. Very excited about this.

Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Squeeze Another Zelda Game Out Of TOTK's Open World?

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
No I won't personally, but I also don't know when I plan to get the game, I have a lot of other games on my plate at the moment.
Re: Review: Persona 5 Royal - Finally On Switch, This Is The Very Definition Of Essential
It truly sounds like an absolutely essential title, hard to believe it took this long to come to Switch.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
It really depends on how much that is compared to the amount she received for providing the voice in the previous games, if she was also paid 4k for those then it seems fair enough, though she should probably have seen a small jump at least. We don't have enough information to make a judgement here.

Re: Anniversary: Dragon Quest V Is 30 Years Old Today
It is arguably the best Dragon Quest yes, up there with VIII and XI, the game is just so very good.
Re: Rayman Returns In Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope DLC
It's awesome to see Rayman back, at this point it has been so long since we have seen the character that I wouldn't mind a Rayman 64 and Rayman 3 port to the modern platforms, even though 64 has been ported so many times.
Re: Three New Pokémon Introduced In Latest Scarlet & Violet Trailer
Armourage is clearly based on Mega Man but I am not complaining, that design looks awesome, would totally have him in my party.

Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Legend Of Zelda Game?
For me it was probably OoT, and it was my first N64 game so you can imagine that my mind was blown at the time.
I remember my dad mentioning that you can actually hear the footsteps of the characters in the game which at the time was not too common.
Re: Nintendo Announces The Next N64 Game For Switch Online + Expansion Pack
Awesome, I have always wanted to give this game a shot, not a bad addition to the service.
