I definitely will not be replaying the original before experiencing this remake. I will still play it every once in a while but I am ready for this new retelling. I just hope it measures up to the original in its own unique way.
I'm going to be honest and say that this new addition actually sounds pretty interesting. I am looking forward to seeing how many cool new inventions/ideas appear online from this new block.
I am also looking forward to the Nintendo Switch 2 Minecraft update for Vibrant Visuals. Not for myself really but instead for my kids. Just another way to enjoy Minecraft. I just hope the performance doesn't suffer. They have an awful time playing Minecraft on their Nintendo Switch Lite systems most of the time.
The performance issues while minor to some do sway me to considering getting a different version of this game in the future. I would have preferred to play this game on my Steam Deck OLED but I doubt the performance would be much better on it. Perhaps a discounted PS5 version is the best choice.
This makes me wonder how many other studios have been on the edge of the cutting block during new game reveals. I wonder how many have give a new lease on life and how many have bit the dust.
Well deserved. I loved the anime and I can't wait for the final season. I am also currently playing through the Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS5 for my first time and it has been pretty fun.
I haven't even played the original version of the game yet. If I remember correctly, I only played the demo. If I did play the full game, I don't really remember much about it. I doubt I will play this remake either. I prefer the 3D older Rayman games.
I can't see why they would want to bring a version of the game that could potentially take sales away from the remake to the GameCube emulator. Financially, it makes zero sense so I am not sure why anyone would have expected anything other than this outcome. Capcom has been on a tear this generation video game reception wise but that doesn't mean they aren't a business.
I have been enjoying the Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS5 and "Stardew Valley* on Steam Deck OLED. Spoiler: I have been having a blast! Happy gaming everyone!
I don't know how I could choose anything but that classic gold case. North American variant for me. It may be bland in terms of color design but is firmly reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda.
I am kind of on the fence for this one. On one side I love the idea of more variety of franchises from Nintendo's portfolio (I understand this isn't a new IP), but on the other side something about it seems kind of generic. I guess reviews will be the definitive answer on this one for me.
Those numbers for Nintendo Switch 2 were what I expected considering we haven't had any big hitters for Nintendo recently that can move units. The Nintendo Direct was definitely a step in the right direction though I didn't see too many first party titles that were up my alley besides The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. That game is sure to move some solid units. It will probably become an evergreen title for them that many new Nintendo Switch 2 owners will consider a must have in their collection for the foreseeable future.
I showed this announcement to my girlfriend and she seemed relatively interested. This is definitely not something I would play solo when I have so many other games to choose from. I would definitely use it as a family time type of game though. I really want to fly around an open world Wuhu Island.
I adored Stellar Blade on PS5 and it is probably my favorite PS5 game. I am looking forward to the prequel though I am disappointed that we won't get to continue Eve's story in that game.
The game looks good though I barely ever have anyone that I could play coop with. My brother and I typically play other types of games. I guess we could consider this one though he isn't big into anime like I am.
I think Link's design looks quite good to be honest. It looks new enough to give him new life but at the same time looks like his N64 counterpart. I am more interested in seeing what Kokori Forest looks like once you leave his home. That first impression for me will be the definitive expectation of everything that happens afterwards. I wonder if any scenes/lore will be added or changed? The game already is a masterpiece as is, so I am wondering how they will improve upon the original besides graphical fidelity.
The gameplay looks good but I feel like the characters look too generic for my tastes. I can't really get behind a platformer that has uninteresting characters though that is just my opinion.
I can hardly believe it has already been a year since this game first came out. It certainly doesn't feel like that long. As for the game itself, I have it on Steam Deck OLED and I really need to get back into it. I have only put a few hours into the game. QOL improvements are always welcome in my video games. This game has also been on sale for a couple bucks for a while on cdkey style websites. That is what I paid for it.
Onimusha: Way Of The Sword's Nintendo Switch 2 release is making me potentially reconsidering getting it on PS5 as long as there aren't huge drawbacks. I was pleasantly surprised by that announcement.
It is a shame that there is no release date. I have been looking forward to seeing more about this game for quite a while. I wonder how far out this game really is. Maybe mid or late 2027?
This will be a must-have in a ton of Nintendo Switch 2 collections worldwide, mine included. I have played this game many times over and I am looking forward to having another way to experience it once again.
I am kind of thinking that I would like The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass to get remade. That game had a good chunk of tedious points in the game, and even though it held up graphically on the system it originally came out on, I feel like a WindWaker HD style treatment would suit it well. And they could hopefully change the gameplay from stylus to controller. I know that part would take some extra effort but I think it would be cool.
That basic logo in the middle of those shirts is way too bland for me. Just about anyone could come up with a better design than that, especially for those prices. It is pretty sad to be honest.
My brother actually played this game a little while back and he really enjoyed it! I personally really like the overall aesthetic that the game is shooting for. I just have too many games I want to play and not enough time. This is a shorter experience though so I could potentially see myself squeezing it in at some point!
I personally would give it a 7 myself. It was serviceable but to be fair, it was mainly designed for kids in mind. All of the cool Easter Eggs were nice, but the plot was very basic for me, and many of the characters didn't really have any depth. That being said, it isn't like Super Mario characters are known for incredible depth in the first place.
Well, as far as I am concerned, the music was one of the main redeeming things about the film. Knowing he scored much of the music while in the hospital is even more impressive.
Honestly, I am super excited for this movie. I doubt it will have the sales reach that reach that the Super Mario movies has, but I personally like The Legend of Zelda a little more than Super Mario. I am looking forward to the eventual first trailer.
Capcom has really been on their A-game lately in their gaming sector and I am here for every minute of it! They have multiple games that I want to play this year. Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way Of The Sword. So much gaming goodness from them lately!
My favorite Pokémon spinoff is probably New Pokémon Snap for sentimental reasons. My girlfriend doesn't play very many video games, but we spent countless hours finding every available secret in that game.
Very nice! I adored this game on PS5 and I am super stoked for the sequel. If you like adventure games with light puzzles and decent combat. this one is for you! The character/world animations are also incredible. The game looks straight out of a Pixar movie.
Well deserved as far as I am concerned! I have been loving seeing a bit of a resurgence from Capcom. and I am here for it. They have always made some of my favorite games.
This was a pretty cool little interview! I am sure it must feel incredible to get to embody such a popular character in a storied franchise. That is the dream of many!
I honestly don't know if The Pokémon Company has the creativity to completely start over like that. And honestly, a ton of people buy the new games so they can have a little bit of nostalgia and bring back some of their old Pokémon into their party. I feel like when Pokémon Winds/Waves comes out, I will mainly stick to new ones so I have a pretty fresh experience. I also don't play every game in this franchise so I have that going for me as well.
My original one actually does, which I had the white model. That being said, I bought a red one more recently and that is the main one I use. My white one isn't in as blood of shaper as I wish it was. I was a little careless with it a couple years back.
Whoa. I honestly never thought I would see a 3D Super Meat Boy game. I don't know if I have the patience for this seriesa anymore, but I hope it does really well. It looks pretty darn good to be honest.
For nostalgia's sake, I chose Gen I as my vote. I don't really have too much of an opinion on Pokémon in general but I had too many good times with the first generation that I just had to vote for that one. I looked at all of the box arts and none of them really stood out to me.
Spiderman: Separation Anxiety was always one of my favorite Sega Genesis games as a kid. My brother and I played it constantly. I don't know if I would want to revisit the game though. I feel like I would rather look back on those moments with rose tinted glasses of nostalgia rather than taint more of my precious memories. I haven't played any of the other games. At least, not that I remember!
Nice. The Nintendo Music app is starting to have quite a good collection of music. I usually boot up the app when I'm wanting to take a small trip down nostalgia lane.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?

That being said, it isn't like Super Mario characters are known for incredible depth in the first place.
