Re: Rumour: A Metroid Movie May Become A Reality As Two Studios Battle For Rights

FX29

I feel that most casual movie goers would be critical of a Metroid movie and say this is a rip off of Alien which we all know draws tons of inspiration from it. Metroid in my opinion might work better as an animated series like a 12 episode Anime.

Guess we'll see though since rumours of a live action Metroid have been around for years.

Still playing the Star Force Collection, currently playing the 3rd and last game of the Trilogy. This is the first time playing SF3 since maybe 2011 and for me it's still one of the best Mega Man games I've ever played and one of the best games made for the Nintendo DS that got overlooked back in the day.

Other than that I might start Pragmata at some point once I beat Star Force 3.

Still chipping away through the Star Force Collection. Beat the second game now and focusing on the post game content.

I also picked up Pragmata and Monster Hunter Stories 3. Haven't started those two yet but I'm thinking of starting Pragmata once I finish the Star Force collection.

Capcom has killed it this year, it's a reminder how they are one of the best third party developers in the business.

Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Having "Very Big Discussions" About Exclusivity

FX29

I never found any of the Xbox exclusives appealing to me, so if they were to shift back to the old school mentality of exclusivity it wouldn't really bother me as I don't care for the brand.

Nintendo and Sony already fill my console needs. I own a series S but don't see myself ever buying a Xbox ever again.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Would You Most Like To See Remade?

FX29

I'm onboard for remaking some of the older Zelda's like the NES and Oracle games. The first Zelda is a classic but it hasn't aged as well as the other games in the series and same goes for Zelda 2.

The Oracle games would make sense since Nintendo or Grezzo can just reuse the Links Awakening engine.

Playing through Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, starting with the first game and Capcom put a lot great QoL improvments to these games. It's been a blast revisiting these games, last time I played through Star Force must had been when I was in High School so this has been nostalgic for me.

I also beat The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls. After beating the game I can say it's one of the best Gameboy games I've played. It's quirky, it's charming and fun. Hopefully one day Nintendo localizes this.

Also beat Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water. The game is good it definitely has a different horror vibe than other games I've played. The combat is still a bit clunky though and never feels quite right.

Re: Review: Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection (Switch) - A Well-Presented Package Of An Underrated DS Trio

FX29

Loved playing these games when I was in highschool. The gameplay is pretty simple but it's a fun battle system and the characters are very charming in my opinion (Harp Note being the best incarnation of Roll). I also enjoyed the story for these games, they're basic but work well for what Capcom was trying to aim for. There are even some dark themes such as depression, anxiety and suicide.

Great to see an underrated series have a spotlight.

Re: Japanese Teens Apparently Love Nintendo Switch More Than Pokémon & Disney

@Max_the_German
Sony has become very Westernized since the PS1 days and it's core focus has shifted to the Western markets for many years now.

Majority of their first party games don't really cater to the Japanese audience nowadays and the PlayStation brand is basically Japanese in name only with Sony of America making all the big decisions.

Decided to start Fatal Frame Maiden of Black Water since I was in a horror mood after beating Requiem. This is the first time I'm playing a game in this series and so far I like it. It does feel clunky though kinda like the PS1 era horror games but the atmosphere is top notch.

Also playing The Frog for whom the Bell tolls, the game really is like Zelda mixed with light RPG elements plus platforming. It has that Nintendo charm and the fan translation is great.

Also playing through Leaf Green.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th March)

I've beat RE Requiem and I can say it's one of the best ones that I've played. Played on Switch 2 and it was awesome. My only complaint is that Grace kinda takes a back seat to Leon in the 2nd half of the game but at the same time Leon is so iconic with the franchise and it was nostalgic going back to Racoon City.

Also started Pokemon Leaf Green again after maybe 15 years for me. It's been fun going back to my gaming roots with this one.

Another game I've started is an old Gameboy classic that's been mentioned on this site before called The Frog whom the Bell tolls. It's a pretty fun adventure RPG and the fan translation is really well done. Hopefully Nintendo brings to this to Switch Online one day with a translation or maybe even a remake.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Requiem?

FX29

Requiem is a blast to play. It's a perfect blend of survival horror and action horror. Playing as Grace left me feeling tense and scared. Playing as Leon makes you feel like John Wick and ready to kill everything.

The game looks and runs well on Switch 2. Overall Capcom has done a great job with this port.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th February)

FX29

Playing through Resident Evil Requiem and wow I'm very impressed by the port of this game. Capcom has done a fantastic job, it looks and plays great on Switch 2. The segments with Grace feel intense and having Leon use a chainsaw against zombies is so fun.

I also might start Pokemon Leaf Green too. Being a Gen 1 Pokemon fan I couldn't resist the nostalgia and ended up buying the Switch version.

Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Announced For Switch 2, Launching Next Year

FX29

Maybe I'm being over critical but the game doesn't look next gen to me at all. Not saying it doesn't look nice but it's not the upgrade that I was expecting visually. With saying that I'm cautiously optimistic about this one, would love to get back into Pokemon since the previous generation left me disappointed.

Hopefully they finally add voice acting too but we'll see.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?

FX29

Gotta go with the face of the franchise Pikachu. Pokemon Yellow was my first Pokemon game and Pikachu has been a staple on my team ever since.

If I had to rank my top 10 Pocket Monsters it would be mostly from Gen 1 and 2:

1. Pikachu
2. Espeon
3. Eevee
4. Charizard
5. Tyranitar
6. Meganium
7. Typholsion
8. Umbreon
9. Dragonite
10. Leafeon
