@MonsterMasterJ Probably because they haven't gotten emulation down for that arcade platform yet. All 8 titles on this collection are Sega NAOMI titles.
Also, the Expansion Pack is better now. No way it should've had such little content at launch. You don't just release an on-demand service with like 10% of the content It's eventually getting.
Are we EVER going to get most GameCube games released in some fashion?
Wave Race Blue Storm, 1080 Avalanche, Animal Crossing, Four Swords Adventures, Melee, Star Fox Adventures, Mario Party 4 - 7, Wario World, Double Dash, Power Tennis, Toadstool Tour, GX, Air Ride, Chibi Robo, Colosseum, XD, Custom Robo, Mega Party Games, Thousand Year Door, Konga 1 and 2, Assault, Jungle Beat, Super Star Baseball, Strikers, Battalion Wars, and Path of Radiance.
Those are all stuck in purgatory if they don't ever make a way to have GameCube games available.
There was a way to fix the voices in the original, but I forgot what it was. Either way, the original voice acting on 1 was NOT great. Origins was, though. Shame it's not an option on either.
KI Gold isn't a very good port of KI2. There is a ton of input lag compared to the arcade, and the blue effect the N64 introduces makes it look a tad worse. Try the arcade version and see how much better it is.
@JuanRdzpr @Bucky Wow, that's my thread. Surreal to see it being spread. I don't have the expansion pass myself, so it's good to see that it functions as I imagined.
Sad for me, even though I feel he outstayed his welcome. The original series was THE childhood show for me, and I watched it here and there until Advanced, but dropped it after they dropped the original cast. I'll definitely be watching every episode of this 11 part finale.
@FroZtedFlake I stuck with the game for a long time due to it being one of my first 3D games. I think I had to use GameShark to unlock anything that wasn't the cannon minigame XD
@wanghosom It's not gatekeeping. This series is the closest that the JRPG genre has to a Marvel Cinematic Universe. You can certainly play different games in the series in a bubble and comprehend what's going on just fine, but the impact of certain plot events won't be felt as fully if you haven't experienced certain things firsthand.
@CaptChaos There's a relatively simple way to give this modern controls on Switch. You just have to change some settings in-game and on your Nintendo Switch profile. The only caveat is that movement will only be in 8 directions, but analog aiming will feel pretty much entirely modern.
@AG_Awesome There is also a way to give it completely modern controls. The only issue is that this method is only compatible with dual joycons and not in handheld mode. It's also convoluted as all hell and probably not worth the trouble over just using 8 way movement. Also, Turok controls is just setting 1.2.
I don't get this obsession with graphics. Games come out all the time with sound technology as old as PS1 games. And gameplay more outdated than a PS2 game. Or games that have very little gameplay in between cutscenes. Guaranteed the whiners wouldn't say a thing if this was a game that looked like God of War and it was just one long quick time event.
"Highly rated game but I refuse to buy it cuz graphics." I don't get it.
Got the original on NES in 1993 I think, the value pack version. Then got Link's Awakening DX, and then Wind Waker. Also rented OoT, but I couldn't get past the Great Deku Tree as a kid, so that doesn't count lol
@OldManHermit The thing about that cabinet is it includes EVERY Capcom developed Marvel fighting game, not just MvC2. It includes all of the games that led up to it, starting with X-Men: Children of the Atom. That surprised me, because the previous console release just included 2 of them.
Meh, 90% of PC games play better with a modern controller. Even the classic rereleases have features that can only be accessed with buttons not on the original controllers, like savestates and speed modulation on the Genesis games. There's better options for more traditional control methods out already.

Re: Turok Receives A New Update For Nintendo Switch, Here's What's Included
@CartoonDan Pretty sure the Turok 2 remaster does have a compass for some of its objectives.

Re: Best Ys Games Of All Time - Switch And Nintendo Systems
No offense, but this article is really difficult to read. What's with all of the typos and missing sentence particles?
Re: Random: Super Mario 64 On NSO Is Home To A Weird Misspelling Bug
@PtM More likely a roonding error.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Might Be Gearing Up For A GameCube Controller Comeback
I wonder if this has more to do with a Smash 6 on Switch 2.

@Dm9982 Yeah, same. Would've been nice for them to put the word "mod" in the title.

I wonder how this compares to the Nyxi Warrior controller.

The #1 entry contains a weird sentence in the second paragraph.
Re: Trails In The Sky Dev Apparently 'Surprised' By Recent Nintendo Direct Reveal
@fpcreator2000 Falcom has always been a bit behind the time on graphics, but yeah, it's not as if they're GameFreak or something.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Are In
I hope Disney opening back up to gaming leads to some of the other Capcom developed games to get rereleased. Magical Quest trilogy, please?
Re: Pokemon Developer Game Freak Seeking New Talent For Future Projects

@N00BiSH @Poodlestargenerica I saw some leaked cutscenes. IMO, she's really improved.

Re: Ash Ketchum Prepares To Pass Torch As New Pokémon Anime Series Gets Air Date
Outstayed his welcome, but I'm not ready for him to leave 😭 Wonder what they're going to do about Pikachu, since he's the mascot.
About the new characters, strange that they're not wearing the academy uniforms. I like their designs, though.
Re: Baten Kaitos Remasters Have Japanese VO Only, Frame Rate, File Size Revealed
Also, why is it called Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 Remastered? Origins was a prequel...

Re: Random: GoldenEye 007 Composer Reckons "Old Team" Would Have Done A Better Job On Emulation
@Hayter I played Crysis 2's multiplayer quite extensively, and it was rather good, honestly.
Re: Random: GoldenEye 007 Composer Reckons "Old Team" Would Have Done A Better Job On Emulation
@Hayter "Nothing noteworthy since 2002"
He wasn't a part of Crytek UK or Dambuster Studios?
Re: Video: One Month In, What Are Your Predictions For The Switch's 2023?
Game Boy and Game Boy Color added to NSO. GBA added to NSO expansion. Switch's successor revealed. Metroid Prime 4 moved to new console.
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?

Re: Random: GoldenEye Control Troubles On Switch? This Simple Joy-Con Swap Trick Is The Answer

Re: Ash Ketchum's Original VA Thanks Pokémon For "Incredible" 25 Year Journey

Re: Atlus Remembers N64 Classic Snowboard Kids On Its 25th Anniversary
@Freek @Nanaki The soundtrack is actually really good, one of the best on the N64 actually. Look up the track "Big Snowman".
Re: Pilotwings 64's 'Birdman' Stage Is Significantly More Stressful On Switch
Meh. People complain when games aren't enhanced, and when they do get enhanced and side effects like this happen, they still complain.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mega Man 4
Mega Man 4 is also probably my favorite of the NES games. The level design and technical prowess is really underappreciated.
Re: Nintendo's Latest N64 Game For Switch Online + Expansion Pack Is Out Now
@FroZtedFlake I stuck with the game for a long time due to it being one of my first 3D games. I think I had to use GameShark to unlock anything that wasn't the cannon minigame XD
Re: Nintendo's Latest N64 Game For Switch Online + Expansion Pack Is Out Now
@FroZtedFlake Jumble Hopper. It was one of the very last games you unlocked.
Re: Pilotwings 64 For Switch Online Appears To Be Targeting A Higher Frame Rate
@Mattock1987 Landing the hang glider was harder.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Pilotwings 64
The US manual uses the Japanese box art. So, we get both worlds over here.
And yeah... the character designs are kind of awful, as nostalgic as this game is for me.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Using the same art for the main character, but shrinking the head, was an odd design choice.

@bonjong23 Don't look into the power consumption of modern gaming PCs. It is about triple that of a PS5
