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…

@dew12333 Rockstar Games from the 2000s is no more. Most of the people who developed the GTAs from the Golden Age have left Rockstar (Lazlow, Sam Houser to name a few). All there’s left is a bunch of Zoomers who have no clue about what made Rockstar’s games so special, hence the disaster piece that is the Defective Edition

@YusseiWarrior3000 This is Atlus, not Squeenix. If it was made by Square, it would have been a cloud game (exclusive or not to the Switch)

@thiz Me too really! I was just pointing out how stupid Lane’s article is )

I’d rather play Miitopia, sorry for not sharing the joy of playing an overrated furry Sims with the NLife staff

Well Rockstar should think again when hiring fourth-rate mobile game devs for remastering some of the best games ever made

Never trusted Grove Street Games to do these remasters, they basically abused AI upscaling for them when changing the engines, from Renderware to Unreal (like being tasked with translating a best-selling novel in another language and you use Google Translate to finish the job quick).
Also I usually hate Unreal Engine on Switch, this release further cemented my opinion on its performance on the console.
Thus, Rockstar Games is dead (is just another Konami now). I wish we would have been stuck in the 2000s forever

Is this pun referencing the laziness of the remasters? They both really lack creativity. Might as well have been Grand Theft Ono, just as horrible

Although I played the GameCube only once in 2007 at a friend in Vienna, I had such a fun time with it and kind of regretting that it didn’t quite catch on in my country, where people were gaming either on PC or a PS2/PSP. Even now, in the Switch Era, not many Romanians know about Nintendo or it is considered extremely niche/kiddy compared to Sony and Microsoft’s offerings.
GameCube could have been something of a juggernaut, but as Miyamoto said, it was just another T-rex in the fight for supremacy…

@KateGray Happy B-day!!! Noticed Charlie’s wishes while scrolling and thought that another wish would help making your day great!

@dmcc0 exactly, download or not, I don’t really care about that as long as the game is great on Switch. Besides, the only hassle is getting a 256 gb card, or 512 if someone’s lucky enough. After that, everything is peachy.

@iaLgan Capcom is indeed far from being a saint on Switch, as they only released Street Fighter 2, Monster Hunter Rise and Stories 2 full on cartridge. I’m not really expecting any huge publisher to use the 32 gigs due to being cheapskates (CD Projekt is, or at least used to be, the only AAA studio with indie dev maneurisms). I only want to download as little as possible when buying GTA on cart, hopefully San Andreas is at least on cartridge in its fullest.

@dmcc0 Yes, it was Monster Hunter Stories 2, but Capcom is way different compared to Take-Two (more like no. 2). Take-Two, which owns Rockstar Games, has NEVER released a Switch game entirely on cart. They always have the requirement to download data (from 14 gb in LA Noire to over 20 for the latest NBA). It’s not wild to believe that the Trilogy will have at least one game with the requirement to be downloaded (honestly I think Vice City will be the one, while the rest will be on cart, as they should fit on a regular 16 gb one).
At least we can be thankful Rockstar is not Bethesda, famous for the Wolfenstein Youngblood and Doom Eternal blunders, so those who think GTA trilogy will only have a download-code-in-box can shut up

I still refuse to believe that Switch could do Diablo 3 at a higher resolution with almost constant 60 fps and more detailed graphics, but Diablo 2 is running worse (even on PS5 is a tad bit disappointing, because it cannot run at 4K/60fps, while D3 could do that on PS4 Pro).
Unoptimized mess

Next thing we’ll know is that he’ll be employed by NetEase

There’s nothing disappointing here, probably most people interested got a hold of 3D-All Stars and doesn’t have to worry about playing an inferior port of Mario 64 on Switch. At least westerners can get both the hi-res textures and rumble revision, or the original “So Long Gay Bowser” version

Our past selves from the 2000s would laugh at how easily offended people have become only 20 years later…

Not according to Amazon Australia tho, there is a listing for the Switch port with no mention of a download on the cover (and it’s PAL territory so I hope the Monster Hunter Stories 2 incident repeats)

@BloodNinja the moment when I found out that the Korobeiniki theme doesn’t play on the NES version was the most traumatising moment in my life

@DTfeartheBEARD depends, as GTA is a high-profile asset for Take-Two. Maybe this one time they won’t screw up users, it’s the 20th anniversary of some of the most influential games of this century. Same as you, I’ll double dip on both Switch & PS5, so I won’t miss on the greatest graphics and portability

This makes me wonder how would a visual novel by David Firth look like on Switch

I hope people are trolling. Other M is a good Wii game (in terms of gameplay), but having the Metroid moniker tarnishes its reputation. Samus was always supposed to be a badass and not an emotional mess as she was portrayed in Other M. I liked the way Sakamoto used the storytelling in Dread, way more than in Other M, as in Dread he kept Samus the way almost everyone knew and adored her, and turned it up to 11, instead of her constant blabbering about DABABY.
Not to mention the acting in Other M was at cringe-levels of horrible, I prefer Samus being a mute protagonist, much like Link (although I was pleasantly surprised of that one scene in Dread where she talked).

@anoyonmus Not exactly, there have been sightings of retail releases at Base.com and at a retailer in Poland, coming in December supposedly for the current-gen platforms and sometime in 2022 for next-gen, clearly later than the initial digital release
