Re: 8BitDo Releasing Mod Kit For The Original N64 Controller, Adds Switch Support

Eel

@neufel @Tharsman yeah, what better way to have the look and feel of the authentic thing, than using the shell and buttons of the real thing.

This also can give new life to an old broken controller, it’s pretty cool.

Edit: there. Preordered. It’s coming directly from China so I probably won’t see it in like a year, but it’ll be worth the wait since, evidently, Nintendo doesn’t want me to have one of their wireless N64 controllers, and the last imitation controller I got was really bad.

@Wild_Silvally_Dreams well this is a blast from the past! Glad you also enjoyed these games. My favorites would have to be shark and penguins. The horses one also had fun mini games.

Re: Story Of Seasons Multiplayer Game Announced Alongside New Traditional Instalment

Eel

@Anti-Matter @ComfyAko the girls in the backgrounds of the pictures look very much like updated interpretations of female main characters from previous games as well (Sara, Claire, and Holly), so these are likely just all examples of player characters.

The person brushing the cow is a little hard to make out, but I think I see them wearing a hat and blue overalls, so it might be supposed to look like Pete?

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: Where Does It Fit In The Zelda Timeline?

Eel

I think it still takes place after Skyward Sword. The original Zelda from that never really showed interest in starting a kingdom, so it wasn’t until her descendant Sonia married Rauru that they founded Hyrule.

So that puts the ancient history in this game somewhere between SS and Minish Cap... Probably closer to SS though.

And of course, that would mean there were always two Master Swords going around at the same time for millennia.

Re: New Shadow Raids Are Coming To Pokémon GO Next Week

Eel

@OFFICIALMichi to be fair, there's some games in the series that imply Pokemon don't just come out to everyone, only to those they find worthy, and our characters just happen to be so good and pure that every Pokemon wants to join us.

Re: Soapbox: Game & Watch Still Scratches A Very Particular Itch, And I Need More

Eel

I was on a Game and Watch kick a little while ago, I really wish I had a few actual real G&W units.

A new collection would be nice, or another entry in their new “color screen” series too. The Zelda model is actually my favorite way to play TLoZ, though I’m not sure there’s any other NES games that I would want to buy a specific handheld device for.

But what I truly want, is re-releases of the original hardware.

Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Breaks More Box Office Records Around The World

Eel

@Themagusx1 huh. This would be a weird counterpoint to that, since technically that would make any and every piece of media that has been dubbed to different languages “diverse”.

Like, it’s a given fact that movies dubbed to different languages will be dubbed using different people.

As a bit of a contradicting fun fact, for The Lorax, Danny DeVito voiced his character in Spanish too (and a few other languages as well!). He did it without being a fluent speaker by reading phonetical translations, which gives him a fairly unique sound.

Re: Farming Simulator 23 Gameplay Trailer Showcases New Machinery, Maps And More

@Rayquaza2510 yeah the pricing is weird. With FS20 at least you could say it’s because it’s also a retail release, but I haven’t been able to find any physical preorders available for this version.

On the flip side though, based on my own experience with both versions of FS20, the game on the Switch seems better optimized. On iOS, it feels like my fairly up-to-date iphone and ipad skip frames even on the lowest settings, while the Switch plays it with no hiccups at all.

Re: Soapbox: It's Time For A Zelda 1 Remake, Please

Eel

It’s one of those rare NES games that still hold up fairly well, and can be enjoyed as games on their own right.

That said, I don’t think a remake would be able to get far enough into development without becoming a new game midway through. It’s just so, huh, basic that any attempt to modernize it will change too much.
