Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch

Gamer83

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.

Re: Sony On Zelda Live-Action Movie: Miyamoto Has A Really "Strong" Vision

Gamer83

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.

@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.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th March)

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.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?

Gamer83

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.

Re: Best Batman Games On Nintendo Systems

Gamer83

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.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis of Batman: Arkham Trilogy

Gamer83

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.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Also Had A Strong Start In The US

Gamer83

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.
