Seems like a cool game but need a demo. Also hope it runs well on Switch, if not, I'll have to get the PS5 version, which has happened more often lately.
Not my favorite Resident Evil game by any means but I still enjoyed Leon and Helena's campaign. Not surprised by the sales numbers, there is a market for Capcom games on Nintendo consoles and RE has a strong history with the brand as well. Wish there had been an original entry in the series, though, something like Revelations 3 or a new Chronicles game.
Of course. What you just typed is why since I first played SMB way back in the late 80s I've preferred games to movies. I'm just saying, if a game series that deals mostly with zombies (something that doesn't necessarily need a fantastic story) can't be done justice on the big screen, it's doubtful Zelda will be either, even with Nintendo's involvement.
I was never able to get into the series until Rise but that's easily one of my top 5 favorite games on Switch, had a fantastic time with it. Can't wait for Wilds, hopefully it'll be on Switch 2.
Fine with me. If Nintendo can make a fun Princess Peach game (I really do enjoy Showtime), give Zelda a chance, too. There's probably a bit more potential with a Zelda-focused game just based on the world and lore of the LoZ series.
I prefer physical to digital so the words of support for it are nice but that's all they are. We'll see what happens a few years into the Switch successor's time on the market. Nintendo might stay true to this longer than I'm thinking but I don't trust any of these corporations.
@Spoony_Tech It wouldn't improve the sales of Metroid games at all. What it would increase is the amount of people asking for Nintendo to go multiplat. The second Nintendo brings one of its big games to PC or does even a simple cross-platform promotion with one of its characters, it's all over in the hardware game for the company.
Not sure this would be considered a 'deep cut,' but if the licenses could be worked out, I'd love to see the GB version of Blades of Steel show up on NSO. That was a great port of a brilliant NES game.
@OorWullie
Except nobody was even complaining about it, which makes the removal all the more ridiculous. Just Crystal Dynamics and Aspyr being Crystal Dynamics and Aspryr. More ticked off at myself, though, because I believed them when they said the games would be unaltered.
Censorship is lame and it's even more lame when it happens post-release in a game that was advertised as being true to the originals. I'll make sure not to buy any games from Aspyr in the future.
@BlublacMH He was also one of the big advocates for the Yakuza series and convinced Sega and Sony to give it another try in the West. If his connections can get that series on Switch 2, that's a big deal. Probably a long shot but this is the best chance of that happening now.
Stellar Blade demo, Tekken 8 and Final Fantasy XVI on the PS5.
On the Nintendo side, Princess Peach: Showtime and F-Zero Maximum Velocity on the Switch and Dead or Alive Dimensions on 3DS. I had the latter years ago but foolishly traded it in, been looking for it in recent years at a reasonable price and finally found a good deal at a local retro shop. Still one of my favorite fighting games on the system, always was very impressed with the way the 3D pops on that one despite cutting the framerate in half.
I like what I played in the demo, definitely looking forward to getting the game on Friday. Interested to see if it reviews in the 70s or in the mid-80s like Luigi's Mansion 3. Could see it going either way.
Yeah, I just got to the fifth world and it's a lot of fun. Only other game I've played in the series is Mario vs. Donkey Kong Minis March Again on the DSi, thought that was a great game so decided to give this a shot as well. Had a bunch of rewards points saved up for a coupon at Gamestop and was able to get it for just a little over $35.
Batman: Arkham Asylum and City are my two favorite superhero games of all-time. Happy the Switch ports turned out well enough, it's nice to be able to play them at home or on the go.
After those, my favorite Batman game is the NES version of the one based on the 1989 movie, which holds up surprisingly well. I remember opening it up on Christmas morning in 1990 and playing all day. I've always been a huge fan of the Batman universe so that Christmas is one of my most cherished childhood memories.
Still the best superhero game ever made. Not the greatest port but more than competent enough, I've played it both docked and undocked and only notice some slight frame drops here and there but not too often, certainly not enough to sour the experience.
It'd be better than gender-swapping Link but if Nintendo does make Zelda playable I'd hope it's because the devs want to do it and not just to pander to people on Twitter and those who write for certain websites.
Picked up the game on launch day and been playing Asylum since, I haven't noticed many issues other than a frame rate drop here or there but it's very infrequent. Overall been a good experience and I'd say it's a more than competent port. If City performs even better, which some have suggested, that's great. Never expected Knight would run well and I'm not really that disappointed about it because it's easily my least favorite of the trilogy. Going through it once on PS4 was enough.
@Grumblevolcano I've been playing Arkham Asylum, docked and undocked, and it runs well for the most part. Visuals definitely seem downgraded but overall it's still a great time just like it was back in 2009.
@smithyo Decapitation and beating female characters to a bloody pulp in certain games is cool, but Heaven forbid young people might see or use the word 'bimbo.' Really is freaking stupid when you think about it.
There's definitely some nostalgia involved when talking about older games so it's definitely not a 1:1 comparison but I do think SMB 3 and World hold up extremely well even today. If all were released at the same time? I'd probably go back and forth between 3 and Wonder but there was so much about World that still has it above all the other Mario games for me. That's not to talk down on Wonder. I love it, it's my favorite game this year and one of my favorite in the entire Switch library. Controls great like you said, looks great, the sound design is top notch, and has some of the best level design out there. The overworld is fantastic and fun to explore. Really my only complaint is lack of boss variety.
@The-Chosen-one I'm nearing the end of chapter 2. Really like it so far but it's a shorter experience. Only five chapters, I think, but if you like the series, I definitely recommend it since it adds to the story.

A new DKC game developed by Retro would be great but what I'd really love to see is a new 3D entry. Way overdue.
Re: Nintendo Announces Acquisition Of Shiver Entertainment
I know the MK 1 port sucked. Didn't read much great about Hogwart's Legacy either. Seems like an odd purchase.

Hollywood could never get Resident Evil right and that franchise revolves around zombies. I have very little hope for a live action Zelda movie.

It was in the game then removed. It's censorship.

Re: Japanese Charts: New Japan-Only Visual Novel Takes The Crown From Princess Peach
@Anti-Matter
True, but, Xbox doesn't have much of a market in Japan. If PS5 was getting outsold by the Series consoles, that would be a major concern.
Re: Japanese Charts: New Japan-Only Visual Novel Takes The Crown From Princess Peach
@Anti-Matter
I'd say those sales are abysmal. And I'm a big fan of PlayStation.
Re: Japanese Charts: New Japan-Only Visual Novel Takes The Crown From Princess Peach
Princess Peach Showtime actually sold a bit better than I thought it would.

Whenever it launches, I'm getting it day one as long as it has at least one big exclusive worth it. There's no doubt in my mind that it will.
