Ugh, I hate when companies like Sega say stuff like this. Sega isn't a small indie developer. They could port this game out whenever they like, and for not much money either. It can't be THAT hard. They ported Sonic The Fighters back during the GameCube days for crying out loud... @_@
Ironically, my best friend and roomate JUST picked the vanilla version on PS4 yesterday...and hasn't even gotten around to it due to FF7R, but...welp. We also were complaining how they didn't port it to the Switch, too...like...wow.
If any one other company could adopt this philosophy too, I wish it would be Gamefreak. Granted, this hasn't been an issue for them up until last year, but something's definitely gone wrong in there at some point after SM came out.
@Desrever That actually is enough money if you buy the game at Walmart, as, for some unholy reason, they sell new games for all consoles $10 cheaper than anywhere else... seriously!
Seriously? What's with the censorship in a game that didn't even bother to censor the dialogue? Ugh... I'll just play it when an anti-censorship patch is available in 5 years when the Switch is easily hackable or something. :/
So it can run 64 DD discs now? If so, it's very much worth buying now, considering how rare the real ones are...even if only one of the games for it is worth playing if you don't know Japanese...
Well, with this game, we'll be able to see who the sell-out reviewing sources are. And NL... isn't looking too good with that review score RN. The only thing I'd actually say has been good about these games are the designs of the new 'mons, but in no way does that save these trainwrecks.
Metroid Prime 4 is still TBA...I'm sorry NL, but with that thumbnail, this article was definitely clickbait, and you just wasted some of my time. Not cool, NL. :/
You know what? I was bummed out about Ash being the protagonist again, but this...I'm okay with this! Maybe it'll help me forget about the dumpster fire that Sword and Shield will be.
Why'd you not bother to even give like a paragraph review of a game that costs only 2 cents, author? It probably took you more time just to type all of this out...
@Bobb I wouldn't go as far as saying they're unattainable today... I still keep my e-Reader and GBA to this day for various reasons, and for a long time, I had my only DS as the OG Phat one with the GBA slit as my only DS for compatibility reasons like these...
I think I'd like the game more if it could actually run on either my 2 year old phone...or my month old phone. @_@ Seriously, the game can't be THAT taxing on the hardware...
@MortalKombat2007 - When I played the demo, my biggest issue was the fact that... I just couldn't die. I mean, I could, but it was impossible to game over at all. Which is basically completely opposite to everything Contra has been up until now.
@Joker13z It suffered in quite a number of ways actually, but I'd be willing to look past all of them if every Pokémon was in the game. If the 3DS was able to fit over 800, I don't think like 100 more would make the Switch combust or anything. And we know this only happened because Gamefreak REALLY wanted to work on this passion project of theirs more than Sword and Shield, which is guranteed to have a wider audience and profit margin. Say what you will, but a main series Pokémon game without the ability to get every Pokémon by the end of the Gen (they've said multiple times they won't patch this feature in), is basically sacrilege to what the series so far has built itself around.
Wait a second... Little Town Hero...is being sold for $25. Gamefreak overly neglected a main series Pokémon game...for a game they don't even plan to sell for half the price of Sword and Shield. I mean, I'm not saying the game still couldn't essentially be an 'Earthbound 4'...but that price tag isn't inspiring much confidence from me. And Sword and Shield suffered so much for this...ugh.
I'm surprised that 'Just DQ1' is getting so many votes compared to 'Just DQ 2-3'. Unless Square vastly improved this port from the original, DQ1 is NOT anywhere near as good as even 2, and especially not 3. Do yourself a favor - start from 3, and if you liked it, you'll probably like 2 as well, and if you liked that...play 1 as well I guess. It also makes sense lore-wise too, but you didn't read that from me. 😏
Good. Make a console with less features and bad C-Sticks, hopefully Nintendo learns better next time. On that note, the 2DSXL was a good example of making GOOD downgraded consoles.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 7th)
Rescue Team DX and Pokémon Go, because I still can apparently not get enough Pokémon in my life.
Re: Random: The Wii U Is Getting Two New Physical Releases This Year
Nice! I still prefer the Wii U to the Switch in some ways, so good to see it still getting some love.

Re: Contra: Rogue Corps Returns To The Original Game With Its Latest DLC
Can you still never Game Over though? Because being super-forgiving isn't really what a Contra game has been...ever...
Re: Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Gets Delayed, Producer Thanks Fans For Understanding
If only Gamefreak could have learned this simple lesson so easily too, instead of releasing the game in the sorry state it's in.

Re: Nintendo Apologises For Tokyo Mirage Sessions Censorship Misinformation, Offers Refunds
IDK why Nintendo seems so damn keen on censoring this game, even in Japan...
Re: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Will Be Censored On Switch
