Finally! I was sad that you could barely get into water without respawning.

FFX HD on the original Switch is still looking fine to me.

Although I will always prefer the original PS2 models and UI over whatever the HD remaster tried to do. At least the original OST is still available.

I like the idea of seeing a monochrome pixel face Pikachu but please give us a yellow and normal eyes version of the fat rodent.

I always felt like Pikachu should've been more like a hamster (since they also "store" in their cheeks) than a thin mouse.

Does the "Withered World" in the title implies that something bad happened?

@Samalik It doesn't look forced (so far).

@RadioShadow Wait, there's one?

@TenEighty We already got a ton of pixel art games with indie side scrollers, I welcome the claymation style.

@rvcolem1 Arle is anything but random, Puyo Puyo has been a Sega IP since a long time ago.

I'd take that over any new Sonic character (the roster is already full) or any non video game one.

Not impressed...

@Drachma Yoshi has always been made for a fairly young audience, even Yoshi's Island. You grew up but Nintendo's game have almost always been for all publics in the first place (with rare exceptions like Metroid).

@HammerGalladeBro A classic game cannot have Modern Sonic in it. This is why Mania had Classic Sonic instead.

This game reused the Super Mario 64 DS engine which is interesting because they've translated the 3D into 2D.

I'm wondering how long it will take to see a leak of the early builds for this game.

@ChromaticDracula Sonic The Hedgehog 4 was meant to be called Sonic The Mobile and wasn't meant to be a sequel to the classics. It was mostly due to the then 20th anniversary that they've changed the name.

Sonic Mania is the real Sonic 4 anyway.

Why haven't they kept the Bezel Engine?

@johnedwin You're ignoring people that still enjoys gaming on a CRT for retro games as well as low poly indie games.

Lol what is that screenshot?

Could Sega make good games before aiming at a super one?

@axelhander This isn't a myth, competition have always been good.

Why not a bundle with all 3 available in it?

I am upset at what Sega became since the post-Dreamcast years...

Please don't be a boring Open World with forced online features and light RPG elements.

Maybe the "Super Game" didn't exist in the first place.

This entire generation of gaming has been quite silent for a while.

@saanaito "Even in this day and age, not everyone can afford multiple devices."
Then it means your life priority should be for actually vital things (like food, shelter and hygiene). There are cheap second hand phones and laptops for online job hunting but this is more important than buying a video game console.

I couldn't care less of the "to get value out of it beyond games" because a video game console is made for that. I do think that retro game consoles were great because you turned them on, inserted the cartridge/disc and voila no need to update the firmware nor being distracted by ads (like on the Xbox since that one update).

The original DS required a separate app (which used the GBA port on the DS Lite). In 2026 the need for those on handhelds is lessened.

@Axecon People complaining about too many Fire Emblem reps in Smash is kinda petty when you see the massive and various roster... But of course just because ~10% of the roster are swordsmen in a 70+ characters fighting game it's the end of the world...

@Dimjimmer When you think about it Zelda has been like ALTTP/OoT for like 3-4 times as well.

Lylat Wars is the only worthwhile Starfox game after all.

20 is a good number if there are side things to do or if you can complete a mission in more than one way like in Hitman.

@Johnny_Arthur The best would be the ability to share video clips to your friends directly without the need to have Youtube nor Facebook.

@Smackosynthesis I know that it was usually kids too young to have a computer or a phone who had to use the Switch for Youtube yet I think that if a kid is not ready for a phone or a computer they should not be ready to use Youtube either.

I'm aware the Switch is a tablet (with a built-in gamepad) yet I still think that a console doing only console things is not bad.

Remember the Xbox One being all about "TV" to the point people came to mock Microsoft for that shoehorning? Remember when the Wii U's marketing was about how you could still play your game on the tablet gamepad even if the TV was no longer available to use and ended up being one of Nintendo's biggest flop?

@saanaito Sorry but the Switch 2 is a video game console and we're basically in an era where anyone could see a video on the palm of their hand. The 3DS web browser was quite awful (and couldn't even read videos) and I'd rather have Nintendo worry about making games than implementing that app.

Also sorry but why would somebody jailbreaking a Switch just so they could watch youtube videos? I assumed that it was to play games without paying (and more rarely cheating online).

Why saying "That Owes A Debt To Celeste"? what about Super Meat Boy the first big indie precision platformer (which itself is a homage to Super Mario Bros)?

@Tempestryke I also prefer traditional platformers with powerups and upgrades rather than just being a collection of rooms that requires almost pixel perfect aiming. Megaman and Castlevania have items.

Blind jumps are bad I agree but the polar opposite can be as bad for readability.

@Jack_Goetz Which is sad because of the potential of it bringing more FPS, more RTS and more touch control games to the console.

@Tyranexx At least the PMD series is much less punishing when you fail than the other Mystery Dungeon game (aside from endgame dungeons where you go back to level 1 with 0 items).

Pokopia is filling the void of a new PMD but I would be glad to see a new entry.

@Tyranexx I even think that being able to talk to pokemons and playing as one is more interesting than being a trainer.

I'd put Mystery Dungeon above Pokopia.

I think it's a bit too late since the game is quite old now...

I feel that they've quickly produced it after seeing its success.

I like the game but seriously they should've kept Classic Sonic with surreal looking levels in an almost magical looking world instead of just Earth with humans in realistic places (like not-San Francisco in SA2). I mean seriously why a blue hedgehog is casually talking to humans in a city and nobody bats an eye about it?

Too bad that Sega hasn't understood Sonic nor managed to do a proper transition intro 3D like Mario did...

That title made it sound like it was Nintendo bricking the console rather than the cartridge physically doing it...

@Samalik Mario as a franchise is filled with retcons.

Let's not act as if Mario has a deep and static lore like LotR (which also had some retcons to some extent).

@MatoFilipovic It had a good story, simple yet effective.

Also let's not forget that Tokusatsus were also commercials to sell toys yet had seasons with episodes that had a good plot.

@burninmylight Phantasy Star III really should get many fixes...

And the possibility to make more than three different save slots.

Sega are really struggling to stay relevant in the current game industry whereas Capcom is releasing a new IP and that Nintendo is handling theirs much better.

Not my favourite modern entry but still good to see more Ys on the Switch. Now let's hope that Falcom will port Napishtim and Seven and we'll have almost the full series on the hardware.

Celceta is decent as a successor to Ys Seven with the "Flash Move" system but I would be even more hyped once Edia is finally porting Ys Books 1&2 and the Dawn of Ys (the non canon Ys IV version that sadly Memories of Celceta isn't based on) which are arguably two of the best entries in the franchise next to Oath in Felghana and Lacrimosa of Dana.

@BaldB3lper78 A new IP? If the gameplay is original.

I'd still prefer them to revive an old IP.

I don't have a Wii U so no.

@Vyacheslav333 @CaleBoi25 Spoiler isn't necessarily about the plot but also the features.

Like when there is content not shown in the trailer being shown in videos is a form of spoiler.

Will this finally make TPC believe that a new Mystery Dungeon is finally viable to produce?

@Muraenidae Pokopia is around crafting and building... Which was what New Horizons was also about.

What I could see is to have better building functions beyond New Leaf and New Horizons as well as many more villagers in your town.

I love this game conceptually (especially the plot which I won't spoil) yet I still feel that there are too few areas and that the lack of a battle system (like in DQB and PMD) are making me not love it the most.

@BongoBongo123 No thanks, not everything needs to be 3D.
