Re: Here's How Nintendo Is Improving Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Over The Wii Original

Flashlink99

I actually am impressed and thankful that I preordered it 3 months ago and that I missed the opportunity to buy the original back in 2011, although I still have my Wii fully functional and could have done it at any point in the last 10 years (back in 2011 I got Twilight Princess instead, still not finished it, maybe with an HD upgrade for Switch I would).
Also those who whined about the Loftwing Amiibo can shut up now and enjoy the game as it is

Re: Soapbox: Sonic Adventure 2 Turns 20 — It’s Time For A Chao Garden Comeback

Flashlink99

Although I grew up playing the first Sonic Adventure on PC, I had a demo disc containing the second game's first few levels. I wish so bad they'd remaster or remake The Adventure games as they were both top notch!!
Also had a friend who owned a copy of the game on Dreamcast and told me about how addictive and unique the Chao Garden was, I was fascinated by how it utilized the VMU unit
PS: Chaos were adorable!

Re: Review: Winds of Change - A Polished, Absorbing Animal-Filled Visual Novel

I understand that the Switch audience is big enough to support every denomination out there and that’s fine with me. However thinking that people should re-examine their life just because they don’t agree with certain themes or characters is a bit anti-“freedom of speech” but whatever.
We can express our gratitude or disgust about anything as long as it is well-mannered and justified.
As for me, I really feel a bit uneasy when furries are involved. However I enjoyed Undertale, which is clearly an lgbt-friendly game, but it has a compelling plot and good character development.

Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version Confirmed For Switch

Flashlink99

It's better than nothing I guess, tried both Control and Hitman but beyond the notion of playing them on a Switch, it kills the whole "play home console games anywhere", as I don't have unlimited data plan and I had some fluctuations with the wifi connection. Might play at least the demo, get its feel and then send it back to the abyss

Re: Feature: Diving Deeper Into The Switch Game With A Perfect Metascore

Flashlink99

The story sounds great and compelling, however I've seen Flash games on Newgrounds from 1999 that have more replayability than this. Those perfect scores would be understandable, if they would have come from literary critics and such. As for me, with the exception of Ace Attorney and maybe Famicom Detective Club, I just don't consider visual novels real games

Re: Nintendo Switch Pro: Everything We Know So Far - 4K Visuals, Nvidia Tegra And 2021 Release Date

Flashlink99

Can't wait for the whole Switch Pro upgrade bulls**t to blow up into everyone's faces. So sick and tired about the rumors. This is getting beyond cringe and proves that fanboys really are ***** and that journalists really have nothing new to write about when it comes to the Switch
Not saying that the console doesn't deserve an upgrade but COME ON!!! 2 f***ing YEARS of nothing being endlessly shared on the internet like it's a schoolyard and people actually believing the crap spouted by ANALysts and such...
It is more likely that Nintendo will release a next-gen console before they go on "PS4 Pro route" with any current system of theirs, and it STILL won't be as powerful or even close to whatever Sony and Microsoft will release in the future

Re: Feature: Our Predictions For Nintendo's E3 2021 Direct

Flashlink99

One thing is for sure, Switch Pro won’t be released this year and everyone who followed the leaks (fecal-quality tbh) will have eggs on their faces. Dumb idea for the moment, with the pandemic-driven chip shortage crisis going on and the huge momentum that the regular Switch still has.
Anyone who follows the whole PS5 and XSX s**tshow knows what I'm talking about

Re: SEGA Teases Brand New Sonic Game, Confirmed For Switch In 2022

Flashlink99

@Alemates Not even that, there were circulating rumors for a few months about the game under the "Project Sonic 2022" nickname, much like Sonic Forces ("Project Sonic 2017"), so there was almost nothing out of common during the stream as everything has been leaked before it.
The only surprise would be if Sonic Rangers will perform slightly above mediocre

Re: SEGA Teases Brand New Sonic Game, Confirmed For Switch In 2022

Flashlink99

I dislike Sonic Origins for the fact that Sonic 3 looks like a ripped Mega Drive rom while the others clearly resemble Whitehead's mobile remasters. At least that would mean we get MJ's tracks, but 3 would have looked great if remastered by Whitehead, like in his proof-of-concept for iOS from 2013 or so

Re: The Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword amiibo Will Cost More Than Regular Figures

Flashlink99

I love how many people whine about amiibo when they can :
a) Buy an amiibo card when they'll become available to enjoy the extras at a reasonable price
b) Actually play the game as it was intended and understand that those QoL features don't actually improve the game a whole lot (I did back in the day). The game is pretty straightforward and instant teleportation between Sky and Land feels like a Pay-2-Win feature rather than the amiibo-locked dungeon in Twilight Princess HD

Re: Japanese Charts: New Pokémon Snap's Off To A Good Start, But Resident Evil Village Is A Major Threat

Flashlink99

@Octane Congrats! I will probably get one in 2023 or much later as scalpers get their filthy hands on the little stock that arrives in my country, instead of 500 euros it goes for around 1000...
@Serialsid the limited stock that prevents more people from getting it at a fair price is the main reason it should have been delayed. Just because it is the fastest-selling console out there, it doesn’t make it any better for those who want to buy it. It’s actually discouraging if you ask me
