The primary redeeming quality that I see about this game besides it's multiplayer madness is the fact that the game itself brings me back to the crazy game ideas of the Nintendo Wii days. This is absolutely something that feels like it came out of that era, not technically based on technology, but instead based on the idea itself.
Some images of this version have proven to be quite popular on social media. I personally always prefer the best experience when choosing where to play my video games, and I would certainly get this one elsewhere for my own enjoyment. The graphical downgrade may not be a big deal for those who are looking for portability.
I personally can't find many reasons to revisit a title I have 100% completion on, and have played through multiple times. I may consider buying it for my son, but even that would be much further down the road.
I am super eager for the remake, though I will be playing it on PlayStation 5 for sure. Everything about this remake oozes style and nostalgia. And I have actually never played this particular Dragon Quest game. This would be a brand new experience for me.
I am playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake on PlayStation 5 this weekend and I am loving every minute of it. I have never played this game to completion and it has been a thrill so far. The shadow effects are so incredible in this one.
It certainly doesn't feel like it has been that long. I used to watch the show for episodically for a little while when I was a kid. I enjoyed Dragon Ball Z/Dragon Ball more when I was a kid.
I am delving deeply into Blasphemous 2 on Nintendo Switch this weekend and I have already completed a good chunk of the game. The game is a little tough when first starting off but it gets easier as it goes along. I am also currently waiting for my physical copy of Dark Souls Remastered for Nintendo Switch to come in so I can enjoy romping through that game for the first time. I loved playing Demon's Souls on PlayStation 5 and I am eager to dive into another souls game.
I personally will be primarily using Mario though I will be switching it up and using Luigi from time to time as well. I usually just stick with the classics.
It's truly a great game, and I'm having a hard time finding any faults with it. It is just a joy to play from start to finish. Currently, I'm about 16 hours in and I still have plenty to explore, and story to continue.
More than anything, I love how clean the motherboard looks in comparison to the N64 variant, though that isn't surprising. I would honestly probably buy Nintendo's though since the last 8BitDo controller I bought had a bad sticking button issue regardless of my attempts to clean or fix it.
The voting is very mixed on this one! I myself easily favor the North American/European variant. I love box arts in that style. The Japanese color pallete kind of falls flat for me.
I am currently playing this game on PlayStation 5, and this game is as good as the review says it is. It harkens back to games of my childhood, and even though I didn't play a whole lot of games in this particular style, I feel the nostalgia for it. And the fact that the game has its own unique ideas, characters and storyline really surprises me. So far, this game could easily stand up against some of the classics.
I'm going to be playing Sea of Stars for most of my 9-day vacation from work. I'm only about 3 hours in so far, but the game's been a blast, and really brings you back to your childhood, if you are around during that era. And like the many reviews that I read, I agree with the fact that the characters are immediately likable, which gets you more involved in the storyline, and the game you are playing. And I get to play it as part of my subscription on PlayStation Plus on my PlayStation 5.
Pretty darn cool if true, though I think I will just ride out my OG Nintendo Switch until the next Nintendo system arrives. It is still working perfectly fine due to my maintenance.
I mean, if I had to choose between the two, I have been waiting for longer for a new 2D Super Mario game than I have been waiting for a new 2D Sonic game. Mario easily takes the cake with this one for me, especially since it isn't another entry in the "New" Super Mario Bros series.
I am all in on the North American variant this time. I love the color pallet choice, even if the character model isn't as cool as the Japanese variant.
I will be continuing my playthrough of Shadow Of The Tomb Raider on PlayStation 5 after finishing my playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy. The extra content in that game dragged on for longer than I wanted, but it was still a very enjoyable experience. I am enjoying my time continuing the story of Lara Croft simply because there is far less scope than some games I have played in the past. I am burnt out on 60 hour epics...
Awesome. New and improved solutions to quality testing is always welcome, especially as games keep broadening in scope as well as budget. Hopefully this helps some developers in some small way.
I remember playing this game back in the day on Newgrounds when it first released and I have so many fond memories for this game. I would honestly play it again if it came to PlayStation Plus.
That is honestly a pretty awesome homage to a previous design. It helps get you thinking about how many character designs our favorite video game characters before we get to the final product.
A sad day for Mario fans everywhere. I can't even think about any Nintendo properties without thinking of him and the contributions he has made to some many classic titles. At the same time though, he most certainly deserves to retire and enjoy his life. Being a Mario Ambassador sounds pretty darn cool to me.
The new characters look pretty awesome to be honest. I don't think it is possible for this game to ever get old. I can always see myself coming back for another playthrough, whether while playing solo, couch co-op, or over the internet.
I am kind of on the fence about the art style chosen. There are so many great games like this out there so it really has to stick out for me. It doesn't look bad at all though.
I personally love the color pallet of Kingdom Hearts 1. Something about the color pallet brings both excitement, and familiarity for me and that isn't something I can say about a bunch of games.
It was honestly only a matter of time. I can just imagine the cool move set Plankton could have considering all the wacky escapades he gets up to in the show.
I will be playing Hogwarts Legacy on PlayStation 5 with any free time I am given. I have been addicted to it for about a week now, and I have been enjoying roaming around Hogwarts finding every little secret and bit of dialogue I can. There is so much to unravel or complete in this game. I don't think i am too worried about 100% completion though. I am just enjoying a lot of what the game offers, and also the world building it provides. An excellent game, to be sure.
I haven't played either but I think I would prefer the DS remake if I was going to play a version. I am kind of tired of sprite work though it is a classic part of the older Final Fantasy games.
I am a little late to the part again but I ended up playing The Artful Escape on PlayStation 5 and scored the platinum and enjoyed the game immensely.
After I finished that, I started my first foray into Demon's Souls as well and I have been having a blast in that one. I didn't think I would enjoy a souls game like I enjoy this one and it has been so much fun having to plan each step I take and strategize around the environment and tools available at my disposal. Glad I didn't sleep on this one.
This game is pretty incredible. I enjoyed my time with it on PlayStation 5 and I could always use a reason to dive back in. The pixel art is gorgeous in this game.
This is one of those titles that I have never gotten around to trying out, and even with this collection, I am still unsure if I would play it. I really don't know why. The game just doesn't seem super appealing to me. These interesting facts are always appreciated though.
I think it was definitely one of the more unique ways to acquire the Master Sword in comparison to older titles, but something about The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's method was the most satisfying for me. It felt more meaningful since there wasn't a weapon break system, and also since the time travel elements tied directly into taking the Master Sword.

Re: My Nintendo Store Adds Super Mario Shopping Bag (US)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 29th)
I am very late to the party but I finished Demon's Souls on PlayStation 5, and I am now playing Hogwarts Legacy. Both great games in their own right.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Illusion Of Gaia
I definitely prefer Japan's box art. I feel like I get a better idea about the game with that one.
Re: Poll: Final Fantasy IV - Do You Prefer The Original Or The DS Remake?
