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 According to reviews it is based on outdated design and that isn't something you can just simply patch.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.
I am surprised this game is even coming to Switch and I am very interested to see the final product, regardless of the quality of the port I plan to get it on PlayStation.
Even back in the day I found these games incredibly dull when compared to the likes of Diablo 2, only way I enjoyed it was in multiplayer and even then it was just ok at best.
I hope the traversal is fun and fluid then, because the previous games are big enough as it is and if you told me there would be a game world five times as big as Xenoblade Chronicles 1 that would have blown my mind back then.
As long it is fun to navigate that is cool with me.
Such a great game, played it on PS5 and liked it enough to Platinum it, it is the type of game where you are best off going into it knowing as little as possible because the game is all about exploring and learning about the solar system it takes place in.
Wow I didn't expect this game to be that good, I skipped XC 2 but I absolutely loved the first game so hearing that this one is more in line with that makes me want to play it that much more, hopefully I have some more time in the near future to do so.
I personally think it is the best Sonic has ever been, right up there with Sonic 2, if this game never gets a sequel that is a huge missed opportunity.
I would not say it is the best but it is very good, much better than alot of people give it credit for and for me a large part of that is the way Mario controls. In that game he controls so precise, it just feels great to perform tricks to get around the levels which in a game where there is a lot of verticality in some of them that is a big deal, it is half the fun really.
I liked Sunshine more than I will ever like the Galaxy games just because of how Mario feels.
For me personally honestly that's fine, I have played those games more than enough and have no desire to revisit them and prefer to enjoy new experiences these days, that being said it is a bummer for anyone who has yet to play them.
I own Persona 5 on PlayStation but have never played it specifically so I could play it on Switch, the fact that it is the Royal version is icing on the cake. The Switch is made for games like this imo.

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: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 5th)

Re: Sonic Mania 2 Didn't Happen Because Sega Wanted To "Move Beyond" Pixel Art

Re: Miyamoto Considers Pikmin To Be Nintendo's "Most Global Characters"

Re: Poll: How Many Of You Have Actually Visited 'Minus World' In Super Mario Bros.?

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: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge
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.

At least the price point is right this time. It could be a fun time for families, I am not interested myself but I can see people having fun with it.
Re: Dillon's Rolling Western & Kirby Co-Developer Vanpool Shuts Down

Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Squeeze Another Zelda Game Out Of TOTK's Open World?
Maybe but I would much prefer a new location. Termina would be absolutely fantastic imo.

Re: Dolphin Emulator Steam Release "Indefinitely Postponed"
That's fine. I already have it installed via emu Deck so it doesn't matter to me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 27th)

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.

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

Re: Three New Pokémon Introduced In Latest Scarlet & Violet Trailer

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.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
For me it is Pokemon HeartGold complete in box, with the pokewalker even.
