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
@basswitch well the irony is that most of the Sonic games, Sonic Colors and Sonic Advance series included, have been exclusive to Nintendo platforms, more than the multiplatform stinkers. Also it has been the anniversary of what was once the competitor to Mario. Once it’s gone, it’s back to reporting rumors and soapboxes related to Switch
@basswitch 1991 called, they want their 'tude back. Sonic is no longer a console maker mascot. Also Nintendo first embraced Sonic after Sega's console business went bust. So it's not too much
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!
Alright, let's trust the Coca Cola profile from a country where most people still buy Sega Master Systems due to how poor Nintendo and other gaming companies perform there
@Arix I understand it perfectly and I’m glad many people here do the same. It seems that the usual toxicity of online communities is usually relegated on Twitter, where it should remain contained. There’s still hope for mankind
@Daniel36 Exactly, I’m just trying to make a statement to the writer and any person here that would think a furry hater must instantly be a troll or something. If people love to dress and behave like animals of ambiguous gender, that’s fine, I just don’t want it shoved in my face
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.
@smithyo I find the fact that GTA V is not for once in top 10 in UK crazier. The world has gone topsy-turvy. Well at least the brits never get bored of the f0Otie game
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
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
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
How many times will people need to be told : There 👏🏼 Won’t 👏🏼 Be 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 Switch 👏🏼 Pro 👏🏼 at 👏🏼 E3 And if Nintendo would announce it later in Summer, it sure won’t release in 2021, otherwise Nintendo would shoot themselves in the leg
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
@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
I really think you should do these kind of articles in a video form, as they don’t really work in a written form most of the time and it seems plain unfocused at times, like an ADD fanboy/fangirl rambling
Otherwise, they are both great games and I wish someday I’ll get to play ALBW on Switch in remastered form, never had a 3DS
@rjc-32 The Sonic PR manager just confirmed on Twitter that Sonic 3 & Knuckles will be widescreen as well. So we can expect that this collection will include only the Taxman remakes, which in my view beats any previous Sonic collections (the emulated Mega Drive games just don't play that well anymore) https://twitter.com/KatieChrz/status/1397972387870642178
Covid will be with us forever so I hope this kind of shenanigans will not be pulled forever as well. Governments must understand that we will have to live with it like with flu, as now we have vaccines and treatments that apparently do work. P.S: screw 2020
@RareFan It's Sonic Team so I wouldn't be so excited if I were you. Besides, Switch will probably be stripped of any realistic foliage and still be 720p and 30 fps like Forces was
@BlueOcean Pretty sure that they won't plan to do extra work to remaster Sonic 3, otherwise they would have shown it now. It's SEGA after all. Or they would have shown the Sega Ages versions for 1 & 2 and the original low res Sega CD version of Sonic CD
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
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
@tseliot basically 90% of what she writes is like this. More of a soapbox writer than anything, but that's not necessarily bad. It's a Nintendo fan site first and foremost, not Bloomberg
@Serialsid Agreed. Hopefully with the pandemic winding down, the semiconductor shortage crisis will fade as well, then Sony should be able to solve the stock dillema. Right now I am deciding whether to wait for a redesign/price cut of PS5 or prepare my wallet for the theoretical Super Switch
@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
