Kemco basically uses RPG maker to create generic SNES style JRPGs. If you really really like that era and have literally exhausted the entire catalogue of 16-bit RPGs... Go ahead but you won't remember most of them.
9 is almost unplayable... They dropped the encounter rate but didn't compensate with more experience per fight. Without the modifiers the game is just not good and honestly, it's aged worse than both 7 and 8 because of the 4 person parties making battles last an eternity. I'd probably choose 6, 8, or 12 assuming the 8 port is okay.
One of the greatest and most underrated games in Rare's library is Blast Corps. I'd be all over a remaster. That game provided a lot of fun in the early days of the N64. A classic!
@ritouf a lot of us old guys who grew up with psx and n64 can live with frame rate problems. Hell, turok 2 chugged along at like 15 fps. That said, of course we prefer silky smooth but maybe just not a determining factor.
This came out right around the time Square Enix started making nothing but garbage. Unfortunately, it groups better with the garbage days of Square and not the glory days.
I have the first on Vita... It's a little slow paced for my liking, I might give it another shot if they ported it over but I generally prefer the Ys series to this.

Re: Review: Alwa's Legacy - One Of The Best Metroidvanias We've Seen On Switch So Far
10 to 20 hours for the genre is perfect. Hollow Knight was way too long.
Re: In An Unusual Twist, Remothered: Broken Porcelain Will Now Launch Earlier Than Planned
What the hell does remothered even mean?
Re: In An Unusual Twist, Remothered: Broken Porcelain Will Now Launch Earlier Than Planned
@aznable 3 was so disappointing after 2. The Room was more memorable than 3 imo.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #60 - Metroid: Other M
I picked Japan not because it's good, but because the other one is very boring.

Baten Kaitos is the other gamecube game I'd love a remake of.
Re: Random: Some 3D All-Stars Players Aren't Happy About The Visible Debug Cubes In Super Mario Sunshine

I can't wait to claw into this one.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, A Game Set 100 Years Before Breath Of The Wild
Is it online? I avoided the first due to lack of online multiplayer.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Lands On Switch On 18th September, And It's A Limited-Time Thing
Would love Mario 64 with Odyssey graphics. Too bad.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition - A Weak RPG Enlivened By Nostalgia
Bizarre game to remaster.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Final Fantasy Game On Nintendo Consoles?
@Ulysses I'd take an 11 port all day. 11 is the greatest mmo ever imo.

Re: Natsume Shares New Screens And Info For Upcoming Action-Adventure, Legends Of Ethernal
Looks interesting but when I saw Natsume was not hoping for side scrolling.

One of the greatest and most underrated games in Rare's library is Blast Corps. I'd be all over a remaster. That game provided a lot of fun in the early days of the N64. A classic!
Re: Hori Reveals Three New Colours For Its Split Pad Pro Switch Controller
Any vibration on this pad? Looks interesting and priced good.
Re: Tormented Souls Brings "Classic Survival Horror Gameplay" To Switch In 2021
A little bit of fatal frame silent Hill feel which is great, but concerned about performance and all that darkness on the handheld screen.
Re: Universal Orlando's Super Nintendo World Delayed Indefinitely
Park will be closed before it's finished.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch 'Walking Simulators' And Narrative Games
Gone Home was awful... And I like Walking Simulators.
Re: Earthlock 2 Might Not Make It To Nintendo Switch, It Seems
Earthlock is solid. Hope the team has some success so they can continue to make these games.
Re: The Team Behind Konami's Classic Suikoden Is Creating A Spiritual Successor
I can get behind this.
Re: Metacritic Implements 36-Hour Delay On User Reviews, To Ensure "Gamers Have Time To Play"
Probably pressure from Naughty Dog and Sony after The Last of Us 2 debacle as to not damage early sales.
Re: The Remaster Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Won't Support Local Multiplayer
This game is archaic. Can't believe they're even bothering with it.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Deadly Premonition 2 On Switch
@ritouf a lot of us old guys who grew up with psx and n64 can live with frame rate problems. Hell, turok 2 chugged along at like 15 fps. That said, of course we prefer silky smooth but maybe just not a determining factor.
Re: Switch Game Final Sword Removed From Japanese eShop For Using Legend Of Zelda Music
Based on the high quality of the game, is it feasible Nintendo stole the music from HUP Games?

I'd probably drop 20 bucks on it, but 60 is insanity.
Re: Review: The Coma 2: Vicious Sisters - A Gorgeous Horror Adventure That Fans Of The Genre Will Love
Looks a bit like Detention which is phenomenal.
Re: Square Enix Will Announce Several New Titles Between July And August
Imagine if they announced FFXVI and it was in the style of 16 bit games.
Re: Review: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - Falcom's Famous Series Was Worth The Wait On Switch
I have the first on Vita... It's a little slow paced for my liking, I might give it another shot if they ported it over but I generally prefer the Ys series to this.
Re: Here Are The Seven EA Games Reportedly Coming To Switch In The Next Year
Pathetic list other than Apex.
Re: Respawn Says Apex Legends Looks "Really Good" And Runs "Very Well" On Switch
Madden is such a no brainier it's idiocy that it's not out on Switch. The PS3 version is probably as easy as it gets to port with updated roster.
Re: EA Is Bringing Seven Games To Nintendo Switch Over The Next 12 Months
Hopefully a Madden rhythm game.
