@sportymariosonicmixx the site has a selection of screenshots for the game, the review picks a few at random every time you load the page.

To answer your question above, morpheel was my username back then when I posted that other comment, so they were replying to me.

Re: Nintendo Adds One Of The Most Divisive Zelda Entries To 'Nintendo Music'

@KingMike the only way I was able to beat the game was with the “cheat” on the Game & Watch Zelda Edition.

If you hold A when starting or reviving, you get maxed out life, lives, and all stats.

And even then it was super difficult! I did eventually map a quick route to return to the final boss, but only because I had to return so many times to it.

Zelda 1 by comparison is still a joy to play today without any cheap cheats.

Re: Rumour: Sony Is Gunning For The Switch 2 With A Handheld, Dockable PS6

Eel

@CasualTalkRadio the thing is that the switch is and always was a tablet. A tablet that currently fills in the main gap for “dedicated handheld gaming” space in the market.

Meanwhile the rest of the market, the part that doesn’t actually care if their device has dedicated A and B buttons, is pretty ok with gaming on their tablets and phones and don’t see a need to get another dedicated device for something like that.

Not to mention, playing a game on a normal tablet or phone doesn’t mean you must have a data plan or are forbidden from using regular physical controls.

Re: Fitness Boxing 2 To Be Removed From The eShop This November

@The_Nintendo_Pedant chances are they’d rather have you purchase the latest title instead

This is not really like a narrative driven franchise or anything, Fitness Boxing 3 has the same fundamental gameplay, but with improvements and a different soundtrack.

Re: Natsume's Next Harvest Moon Game Arrives On Switch This October

@Coffee-Waffle it’s a complex situation and nobody really has the full story, but as far as I know Marvelous became able to localize their titles on their own after acquiring XSeed, and so they started doing just that.

According to Natsume, Marvelous quite simply stopped doing business with them one day; making no attempt to acquire the Harvest Moon name or get any sort licensing deal.

(The HM name itself was always fully owned by Natsume since the very beginning, so it was in their best interest to keep the franchise active even without Marvelous)

@Coffee-Waffle Is it really so hard to believe the new Harvest Moon titles could also have fans that like them based on their own merits?

Story of Seasons is over a decade old now, it also has had plenty time to “make a name for itself”, so to speak.

Clearly both franchises are doing well enough.

Re: Switch Online's SNES Update Has Apparently Upgraded The CRT Filter

Eel

@sdelfin I think it’s a generational thing for us people who prefer the pixel look.

We were a bit too late to grow up looking at the games properly on old CRTs long enough to get the style to stick in our brains, and too early to get good scanline filters.

For people like this, the pixels we saw through emulation and from using consoles on more modern TVs is the “normal” look.

Re: Harvest Moon's New "Cozy" Bundle Slightly Delayed For Switch

Eel

Ah how odd, you'd think these would be easy to put out. Well, if it's for the best then so be it.

I am in the small group of people who loved these titles back when they came out. In fact, and don't hate me for it, I enjoyed The Lost Valley far more than anything Marvelous released on the 3DS and Switch (The only exception being Tale of Two Towns, which is actually a DS game anyway). And just to be fair, I also enjoyed it more than any of the following games by Natsume as well, until Winds of Anthos which was great.

.... So, as much as I hate the "Cozy Bundle" name (which they don't mention in the message, so please tell me they dropped it), I'm definitely getting them!

Re: PSA: Spigen's Switch 2 Carry Case May Have A Potentially Console-Damaging Defect

Eel

The cheap case I bought in a pinch also has an internal zipper and I hate when cases do that. Like, why do we even need the internal pouch to have a zipper, just make it a flap or add velcro 🙄 or better yet, if the intend is to be sleek and precise, don't add an internal pouch!

Thankfully mine's metal tab rests on the right side of the case, and I was able to sew in a little piece of fabric to add as a barrier when the zipper is closed to protect the joycon.
