Still a shame that one of the few games that is not a Game Key Card is a Remaster (or maybe closer to remake but still) from an older game. I already got the original phyisically, and i'm not ready to double dip, even if I badly want to support the studio for bringing a real physical cartridge.
Yeah it bothers me how indie characters looks sometimes. Getting the gameplay right is ont thing, but making a good looking "mascotte" character is another, and this is an important part for me to really bound with a game univers.
And they were right. I could not imagine Ocarina Of Time running with loading times, that would be a huge bummer. The real problem of the N64 (at least for me) is the super low texture resolution mapping, not the media it used
I honestly dont get all the hate LRG get. Without them a lot of gem would never be preserved physicaly. Sure you wait 6 month for you game, but its not like it is writen right on the game page when you preorder.
I'm having a decent time with the game, but it lacks polish. It's not ugly, but the 2.5D doesn't really fit Sonic. The Gameplay is at least loyal to the MegaDrive era, but boss fights feels slow and lack punch
@samuelvictor Exactly, a lot of people are screaming to get GX on Switch, but those one doesn't know how to play GX properly, or forgot with the time, it would not work as it is.
@samuelvictor Porting GX to Switch is almost impossible because the Switch doesn't have built in analog triggers. The game would require to use a GC controller to be fully playable, that's not acceptable.
@SwitchForce The rumble pack had to be inserted where their "control module" is inserted, so my best guess is that either their module can rumble, or it doesn't have it.
Plus it totaly make the controller incompatible with a N64 which is a shame
Everything is promising but I don't like that Yoshi is the noob character. I'd rather have him as a power up tbh. Damn, we played Mario Bros 3 and World back in the 80s and 90s and didn't need a "easy" mode
They didn't even try honestly. That's the same as the old Mario edition Switch with the red dock, but it's an OLED instead, no effort put in design at all
It's a shame because the TOTK, Splatoon 3 and Pokémon S/V OLED were amazing, why can't the number one mascott get the same treatement?
As much as I recognized that those games are not finished in the state that they are as I write, as much those game are the most fun Pokémon games that I''ve played, probably since the GBC era.
I completed the Pokédex, which I only did on blue back in 1999 otherwise!!
@CharlieGirl Exactly, and they always do this! Sonic Adventure 2 was the best 3D sonic ever made IMO, they finally found the formula that worked for Sonic in 3D, after failed attempted on Saturn, and what did they do to surf on this vibe? Anything but that of course!! Sonic Heroes with 3 Characters and a gameplay that kinda works, but not so much, Sonic as a Werewolf!! Yeah sure! great! everyone wanted that! Sonic with a Sword and the legend of the King Arthur!! Sure! The MegaDrives fan always asked for that!!
And now that they had a superbe 2D Sonic back on track, they drop it! Great SEGA, fantastic!
The aesthetic is outstanding?! Damn! You take any 90s Mickey game and it is 10 time better looking that this! Why are the art style so butchered nowaday? And how simplistic can a background be? That just look bad in my opinion.
@samuelvictor Thank you, I was really concerned that the Switch version would go for 30 FPS, which is horrible for sidescrollers, and even more for fast ones.
I'm still so dissapoint that they never went for Arcade Perfect N64 version. Saturn ans PS1 had superbe Arcade ports, but were cursed with Loading times due to CD support. A N64 port would have been perfect, not to mention the N64 controller with 6 buttons in line and a HUGE D-pad, that would have been the best version without a doubt.
I mean, imagine the cost of a cartridge 60 kB bigger to include Game Gear Games, terrible, SEGA would propably die from it. (Like Shenmue on his time with the Dreamcast)
I cannot imagine what this must feel trough the eye of a children, to see giant Raykwaza traveling through buildings like this, i can just imagine how wonderful it must feel

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Technical Analysis Of Street Fighter 6 On Switch 2
@Jimmy_G_Buckets I don't think that it is a mistake. The Serie S texture resolution is much lower than the PS4's.
I don't understand why either, but watching the comparative video clearly shows it.
I guess the Serie S port is just bad

Re: Sonic Superstars Will Apparently Run At "A Smooth 60FPS" On Switch
30 fps is OK for 3D games, but is horrible for side scrollers, especially fasts ones, like the Sonic Games.
It is a very good news indeed, will get it on Switch for sure now
Re: Poll: Have You Come First In F-Zero 99 Yet?

Re: Feature: Is 8BitDo’s N64 Controller Mod Kit A Better Buy Than Nintendo's Switch Online Pad?
@SwitchForce The rumble pack had to be inserted where their "control module" is inserted, so my best guess is that either their module can rumble, or it doesn't have it.
Plus it totaly make the controller incompatible with a N64 which is a shame
