@Chlocean I have no idea of other King Kong games, but at the time I remember the great reception Peter Jackson’s movie received (I also loved it) and that Michel Ancel of Ubisoft Montpellier lead the development of the game. For the time, it was a really good adventure game with tidbits of horror like the 2005 movie and felt great, no matter if you were playing it on PS2, GameCube, Xbox 360 or PC. The portable versions are quite interesting, each having its quirks. PSP and DS tried to replicate the FPS aspect of the console & PC ports, to different degrees of success, but the GBA version wins it for being the most unique of the big three and plays well to the limitations of the platform. I recommend it to anyone who loves Kong and Zelda clones (with nice Kong beat-em-up segments, including a neat NYC level which the DS ommits)

@Chlocean it’s a nice little movie-based game. It’s not the masterpiece that is on home consoles and PC, but a neat Zelda-clone. Also, it is one of the few weird occasions where a GBA game trumps its Nintendo DS counterpart

I think I’ll stick to Peter Jackson’s King Kong game on GBA

It could either be the next Metroid Dread or end up being a DNF-like fart. Either way, I expect it being released for Switch’s successor as well

Am I the only one who thinks the art direction looks worse than WindWaker’s style? The main character looks like a kindergartener designed it

@IronMan30 couldn’t resist tbh 🤣😅 that catchphrase got stuck in my mind thanks to Dunkey

Now that’s a rare doodah

My uncle who worked at Animation Magic confirms this as well

@nocdaes True. I used to play it on my best friend’s GBA and I enjoyed it a lot more than Super Mario Kart, felt a lot smoother and not like driving through mud all the time. Still, when playing on Switch I’d choose MK8 over any previous MK, mainly due to local multiplayer and variety of tracks.

@N00BiSH I would recommend the expansion only after Metroid Fusion makes the cut. As of now, I only play Minish Cap, with the intent to try finish WarioWare after that. There aren’t many options so far (not a huge fan of the Mario & Luigi rpgs)

@N00BiSH there is a filter in the settings to enable the scanlines, to make the games look like they were on an OG or SP GBA. Disable that and you’ll get a crisp image. Personally I like to use the scanlines as they make the games look more fluid in performance. Tho on TV they can be an eyesore so I disable the option in such case

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare is a good survival horror game, THE PS1 VERSION that is!
Why did Nintendo decide of all GBC games to give us a mediocre port is beyond me… might as well have gotten the crappy GTA 1 & 2 ports or the Oddworld Adventures games.

@Fizza Only a handful of N64 games had support for widescreen TVs, mainly from 1997 onwards and not one of them being made by Nintendo (Rare doesn’t count). It can be enabled in settings on the wrist clock and make the game letterboxed.

In MGS on PS1 while being with Meryl in the Basement 1 hallway in the Nuke Building (right before the battle with Psycho Mantis), Snake can make Meryl blush by staring at her (by holding Triangle for first-person view). Her skin gets more red with every remark of hers.

A Sonic Origins physical release would be enough for me

Wish I could have voted for the reformed Orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton

@AliceInChains Thanks for the heads up! i wish Rockstar would continue patching the trilogy, it deserves a whole lot more, but seeing so many missteps in the last 2 years made me feel cynical towards the company

Does anyone know if they patched the broken audio in the intro fmv of all three games (it sounds like a 10-year old was playing with the audio mixing randomly while the music played) and the glitchy background when changing the weapon/radio station?

Got a rare doodah right here

Ah yes, UK as usual wants the latest f00tie game

No deers, no sell

Playing it on iPad since 2016, in my view it’s the best way to play this game for the big screen estate and intuitive controls.
I would never see this game on any console really, as the controls and UI would need a lot of optimising for a button-only setup. On Switch it could work like Vita did, but better due to its bigger resolution and screen, not to mention adding touch support.

As for the console release joke, I think Pope just did a half-reverse of 2013

I have seen a few Wii Minis in shops 10 or so years ago. I really wonder if many people bothered with buying this junk instead of a regular Wii, which was pretty common in every tech shop

Until Advance Wars releases on Switch, I’ll replay the No Russian mission in MW2 for the millionth time

Lance Reddick is the only redeeming aspect of this show, he also voiced my favorite character in Horizon

My fiancé still laughs at me for getting pissed by a game called Sunshine, a funny memory which makes me feel less harsh about the frustration that game brought.
Maybe this is the real reward I got for going 100%, in lieu of that underwhelming post-credits photo.

@liljmoore Odyssey was really fun to complete as it wasn’t as frustrating (maybe too easy at some point, like Galaxy).

There are 3 things that bother me with Sunshine:

• that damn Pachinko shine (broke a joycon during a burst of frustration)
• blue coins (some of them are truly random to find)
• bonus for 100% completion is beyond underwhelming, after such a long tedious gameplay session

Beyond those issues, it's a good game with enough originality to stand out in the long list of Mario platformers. I replay the game from time to time but oooh boy... I would never try to 100% it again.

It's funny to think that this was my first (official) mainline Mario game I ever played, 15 years ago on a friend's GameCube during a trip in Vienna. It felt nice, mainly due to GC's controller, but with joycons it's just off. Also, I wish the 3D All-Stars version was 60 fps, like the 2001 Spaceworld demo teased

Soulstorm is not the greatest Oddworld out there (Abe’s Exoddus maintains its place here), but I didn’t find it THAT bad as many people here believe. It’s been improved a lot since release, especially with the dubiously called “Enhanced Edition”.
As for this Switch release, I will double-dip as I am very curious how this intensive game turns up

The game is nice on PS5, but I just don’t see how it would run on Switch, as it struggled badly on PS4 and Xbox One. Not to mention how much action is in the background of many levels, constant changes in perspective (being 2.9D), FeeCo Depot where there are trains running full speed everywhere and, of course, the train level.

@Pillowpants What are you talking about? NES, Gameboy and SNES were plagued by licensed mediocre games from infamous companies like Ocean, LJN, Jaleco etc. Sure, it wasn't Wii-level of shovelware apocalypse, but the Seal of Quality never stood for perfection

@Would_you_kindly anything can be trademarked if it’s available, the miracles of capitalism

@twztid13 Exactly, entitlement is the root of the fans’ nastiness. This shouldn’t be that way. We can all disagree with certain aspects of a game, movie, show etc. but people forgot to have a moderate discussion with each other. Modern society suffers from a severe case of AVGNitis, when everything not on par with the greatest games ever made becomes s**t instantly and every developer out there is Fred Fuchs in disguise

@nessisonett mainly because the Internet gave a voice to the most radical self-entitled nerds who love to nitpick and insult other people as it would make them seem “superior” or some kind of bull like that

I don’t like Hamilton and find him extremely overrated as an F1 pilot, but at least he has good tastes in gaming

@stache13 clearly, would have been nice to be bundled with the Switch. However I didn’t pay anything near 60 euros when I bought it (it was already sold under 20 in my country at the biggest stores, in 2019). I think it did its job for that price, so jokes on those who chose 1-2 Switch instead of BOTW at launch I guess.

I don’t understand why people hate 1-2 Switch so much. It’s not perfect at all, but at least is a nice game to pop in once in a while at a party and play something that involves some eye contact with friends
That being said, an Online-only 1-2 Switch would be the worst idea ever

Trolls probably couldn't wait to s**tpost and bash random people on Twitter using their NES/Famicoms. (note to editor, I'm not endorsing this at all)

Besides owning a complete PAL copy of Vib-Ribbon on PS1, I don’t see myself getting my hands on any rare game as they are too dang expensive and I just wanna play them (looking at you, Castlevania SOTN)

The game feels playable now and I quite enjoy it on Switch, only in portable mode as on tv it looks really blurry (thank God I have a PS5 for that, although it's not perfect there either).
It still needs some updates to improve the fps in some cutscenes and some visual bugs, i.e. weapon/radio wheel, otherwise the Switch version is quite decent now!
P.S. these remasters shouldn't have existed, not in this form at least

@Specter_of-the_OLED You certainly have a point there and I mostly agree. I hope that they won't pull a fart and give us GoldenEye ft. Daniel Craig. Might as well re-release 007 Legends

@Specter_of-the_OLED More like getting that cancelled 360 remaster, but upscaled to 4K instead of the original remaster's 720p resolution. Hopefully we get the game via NSO. The Wii remake has almost nothing to do with the original GoldenEye so why even bother with that one?

Can they add my trashcan in Fortnite?

2/10 - no deer in sight
Jokes aside, UE5 is a really impressive piece of tech, though I doubt Nintendo would ever make a console strong enough to handle these graphics

It sure seems convenient for them to release it now on Switch as the pandemic seems to finally reach an end, with covid being almost endemic at this point. Game looks fun, might try it as I am an adventure game afficionado

I haven't played this game since 2007 or so!
This, GTA Vice City (and 3) and NFS Hot Pursuit (1998) were the most replayed games on my PC back then. Used to suck at it but now I find it much more enjoyable on Switch! Definitely worth its 9 Euros and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves Trials-like games
PS, this is one of those rare Switch games that unexpectedly uses the HD Rumble as it should, it really feels like you are holding a motorbike in your hands!

@Ventilator true. The most Epic can do is to throw Turrican in the Fortnite dumpster

We truly live in the darkest timeline possible

Nate The Bait had another anal leak today, oh well…
