This is my favorite remake by far.

I understand they changed stuff around, but I’ve played both the original and the remake and they both are about the same in length anyway.

The main difference for me, compared to other remakes, is that 100%ing this one is much more achievable. You can play it over and over and actually beat the harder difficulties without losing your mind.

When compared to RE2R, I found the removals made to that remake to be far more disappointing. They made scenarios A and B the same just with different bookends (and they didn’t bother making it make sense why both Leon and Claire are seeing some of the exact same things, like, did Annette die twice or what?), so by extension they erased the original Leon A-Claire B route (that’s essentially half the game!). Compared to that, I am ok not visiting the inside of the Clock Tower, at least we got a better Hospital section for Carlos in return.

@johnedwin I wish. The 7-9 pack was a great deal.

@TensuraFan7 FRLG are gen 3 games, they use the same underlying systems as RSE even if they’re not necessarily used in-game.

Ah yes, when I think of a complete Kanto Pokédex, the mythical Pokemon that comes to mind is of course Celebi.

Unlike most live service games, they didn’t quite do enough to monetize this one. It behaves like a normal game for the most part. (Which I assume is why they didn’t earn a lot of money from it, it’s basically just a free game).

I hope they leave some sort of offline version of it playable, would be a shame otherwise.

Japan looks a lot cleaner.

@TheSaneInsanity I don’t think this is so much about the upscaling itself, and more about the fact they’re expanding the backgrounds and videos, with generative AI filling the borders.

Both look cheap, to be fair.

Oh cool. I wonder why it’s taken this long.

Now Give me Sapphire.

Edit: the way the article is worded makes it seem like you can transfer pokemon back to FRLG as long as you don’t move them to newer titles, is that right? If so that’s nice.

He dropped his wallet after a battle? What is he, a team rocket grunt?

I was in a similar spot with Paper Mario TTYD until the remake.

A friend lent it to my brother. I played it, loved it, adored it, obsessed with it. Then he returned it to his friend. And I could never play it again.

Funny thing is I bought it used two separate times after I got a Wii, but my Wii was never able to read either disc. So after consulting the internet I tried cleaning the discs, cleaning the Wii, and “resurfacing” the discs thinking it was a disc problem. I even did the toothpaste thing. Ended up irreparably damaging them.

Turns out the game is just really weird, you can’t play on Wii and sometimes not even on GameCubes if your console requires a laser adjustment.

So in the end I ruined two perfectly good discs of a now rare game. And still couldn’t play the game until the Switch remake came around.

This is the only Layton game I bought back during the DS era. So sad the dev has gone downhill lately.

This really should’ve been a simple upgrade

Ah yes, the Gaston diet

AI or not it looks awful.

This is such a nostalgic soundtrack. Glad they refuse to forget this game!

I bought a backpack and five days later it went on sale.

@GeddyLee if you’re interested in learning about amigurumi, I totally recommend picking up a kit from The Woobles.

They’re somewhat expensive but you only need one, and their online tutorials really made it click in my brain. I can now follow basically any pattern or freehand a plushie by myself.

Inject it into my veins

I’ll make a coops worth of chickens

Oh gosh that hair is not subtle at all hahaha

@littlegreenbob to add to what @somebread said, as long as you don't tell them to actually keep the new hair, it'll go back to normal after a day or so even if you do nothing.

And to "rub" the hair away, you can do it as soon as you interact with them, no need to tell them anything.

Played the pocket edition and that felt good enough. Even though it's missing the DLC stories; I feel like that one stays on track better and the gameplay/story is easier to follow.

Can’t wait! Love the more subdued prologue lol, starting out with Claire being a matrix protagonist was a bit much.

First time I hear about this title… and it’s when it’s being delisted.

It's like four actual songs, but oh boy I love these four songs.

So I'm actually pretty happy about this.

I find certain styles of hyper realism to be actually pretty difficult to look at. Like… the more complex and realistic a game looks, the harder it is for my eyes to find what to focus on.

@cvrator featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series & Knuckles Special Pikachu Edition

They need to work a bit on the names, but can’t wait to play this one.

Trade offer.

I get: the entirety of eBay.
They get: my collection of rare bottle caps.

FRLG’s price was actually lowered over here in Mexico some time ago.

Of course I had already bought it by then, but that was nice of them…

Never been much into star fox. But cool to see it getting its 8th remake.

Most of the time I just pronounce them as I would any other word, in Spanish.

Whenever they try to adapt the actual games, they always end up doing something corny or completely unsatisfactory, so I can see why this one is attempting something different. The first movie all the way back then did something original too, and it’s the one most people regard as the best.

Looks cool so far! I can see some inspiration is coming from the Ethan Winters saga.

Link uses whatever hand the developer wants him to use.

Great, I paused my playthrough of XD after hearing about the crashes just in case

The Swimmer♂ in the Japanese one looks like he's missing both legs.

@BTB20 bought the voucher way before we knew the price.

And even then it’s like, the money was spent ages ago so present day me wouldn’t really notice the loss of value, it’d be just like “yay free game”. 😶

@Grumblevolcano oh gosh darn it, I was saving a voucher specifically for this one.

I was starting to wonder if I imagined this title or it was a fever dream with how little Nintendo has talked about it.

Guess she did get angry at the whole “they made a second movie and didn’t invite me” thing.

These were real puppets, so they did have robotic legs in a sense. After all, it’s easier to put on difficult unrealistic shoes when the shoes are literally part of your puppet body.

However I guess it’s clear by now that it was meant to be just artistic representation, and not a literal interpretation of the characters.

Yeah I’d rather keep using the one I bought for Pokemon Sleep, these are probably gonna be both: part of the paid premium monthly passes, and time-limited.

Combat Smurf

@Agent_P I spent way too much on games late February, it’s just a case of too much being released at the same time for me to justify buying all of it day 1.

Ugh yes. I so want them to rerelease the PS1 originals.

They’re on GOG, but but it’s windows only and I’d rather play them anywhere else.

Even on the evercade would be nicer.

Might get back to this one just because I don't have Pokopia

@UltimateOtaku91 considering they’ve been adding multiplayer battle modes to games that nobody would ever consider for any official usage like BDSP and Let’s Go, I wouldn’t expect them to fully strip online battling from the adventuring games themselves.

However the fact they wont be the main focus of competitive gameplay might be a blessing in disguise; if the lowered focus on programming and maintaining online seasons and tournaments and all that means they can afford to pay more attention to other aspects of the games.

@CaptainQuo I get the remake being disappointing for some, but what about Jill herself did you dislike.

Jill is my favorite.

Claire is my 2nd Favorite.

Carlos gets honorable mention, but the remake version only.

Please stop staring at me, Claire

One constant annoyance in Winds of Anthos was the inability to climb any vertical surface. So that already sounds like a massive improvement!

Nice to hear the wild animals will have more of a purpose too.
