Re: New Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Lets The Blue Blur Show Off His Combat Skills

GinMiguel

Okay, so there is more to the combat than just jumps and homing attacks. Can't wait to find out why we're fighting. Also wondering what the enemy variety will be like. Sonics combat looks varied so need but the animations look a bit off, like he loses rings when he hits the ground instead of on contact. Still looks promising and has potential but I'm still not too sure yet.

Re: Random: Euphoria Star Hunter Schafer Thinks It "Would Be Cool" To Play Princess Zelda In A Live-Action Movie

GinMiguel

I'd rather leave live action to the fan made projects. If a movie ever is made, I lean more towards CGI like Breath of Wild/Age of Calamity or hand drawn anime like the Link's Awakening. Regardless of what style the movie gets. As long as the studio cares, the director is passionate, and a cast and crew has effort. They can succeed. Also it doesn't feel good to be denied a chance because of blind skepticism does it?

Re: Rumour: Sonic Team Is Working On A Brand New 2D Sonic Game

GinMiguel

Believe it when I see it. I'm actually more interested in a follow up to Advance/Rush then a follow up to Mania. I'd take it as well and am sure Sonic fans would take any 2d Sonic style at this point. But I just feel that the handheld Sonic games have a more under explored gameplay. While Mania feels like a culmination of Classic Sonic. Also they need Christian Whitehead and Headcanon for Mania 2.

Re: Rumour: Could Switch Get Zelda: Wind Waker And Twilight Princess This Year?

GinMiguel

Possibly. Trouble is if so, they could easily be separate where 1 comes earlier and the other later and charge both for $60. Theres also the slim possibility that Gamecube games come to online and they'll be on that way meaning no quality of life improvements from the Wii U versions. If WWHD and TPHD did come to Switch they'd have to change some stuff that the Wii U versions did like the tingle bottle or the stamps.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Will Reveal Some Skin, Unsurprisingly

GinMiguel

@Einherjar Well I don't fantasize running around shirtless, unless I were a wrestler maybe nor do I want to look like Arnold Shuartzinager. Why do some people try to deflect the whole male sexualization as a male fantasy when not all men care about that anymore then all women care about the body's they may or may not have.

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

@russell-marlow I didn't mean that sentence as a question but an answer. My point was those series are nicher if thats a word and dormant longer then Star Fox has been. Also even if the directors were passionate, Nintendo would have had to give them the consent to work on them knowing those games don't make that much money.

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

Thats true, Grezzo did overhaul the areas and models graphically. Granted Skyward Sword is stilll technically a modern game. Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time originally aren't. And technically the only remake with new content is Majora's Mask with the fishing holes. Ocarina of Time 3d had the boss gauntlet, Twilight Princess had the cave of shadows and poe lamp, and Wind Waker HD had the swift sail. Thats all reworking old content into new coding. As for only owning SSHD for playing on the go. The same could be said for the 3ds versions of OoT and MM unless you want to play them on Switch now.

Re: Star Fox Character Designer Wants Nintendo To Port Wii U Entry To Switch

GinMiguel

I've soften my stance if they're having platinum port it as just a stop gap and not thee tentpole Star Fox game. Maybe there are some things to like about that game like how Star Wolf dog fights and hyper speed. Still that game being a retrake of Star Fox 64 after we already had one on the 3ds and its back on the Switch feels like it won't go anywhere.

Especially considering if Star Fox Assault is the action game Bandai Namco are remaking right now.

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

@AstroTheGamosian Well I don't know Bandai Namco's track record with their remakes. And while by research I can see how Mario 3d Allstars was a lazy port as it was just emulation. Skyward Sword on the other hand, I mean, on top of 60fps/1080p from the wii's 30fps/480p and adding a new control scheme, you call adding camera control, cutting a lot of excessive handholding (Fi, repeated Item information, NPC tutorials) skippable cutscenes, and including auto save lazy?

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

@AstroTheGamosian I could see 1, 2, 3 (barring Zero's vehicles), 5, and 7. Maybe 2 if we're lucky, 6 if its for missions, and 4 if its multiplayer only.

They can't just shoehorn those characters into a plot they weren't apart of unless the game has another campaign like Xenoblade DE, or its a reimagining like Samus Returns, or in a sequel. Otherwise they risk throwing stuff out of wack.

Same goes for bringing other vehicles into the mix. The game wasn't made with them in mind. Plus Assault has several gameplay styles to balence as it is.

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

@russell-marlow It's specifically said to be an HD remake of a 3d action game under Nintendo's umbrella. Kid Icarus and Star Fox Assault fit the bill and are the ones speculated given the later was worked on by Namco. Could also be Sin and Punishment as that falls into the action category.

As for what would prompt them to remake them. Whatever prompted them to remake Famicom Detective Club and Advance Wars or Metroid 2.

Re: A Fan-Made Mod of Metroid Prime Is the Remaster You've Been Hoping For

GinMiguel

They only go after fan made projects if said projects are profiting directly off it. Or if they're working on a project a kin to that Samus Returns. In all honesty I would like Nintendo to utilize fan talent like Sega has with Christian Whitehead and Sonic Mania. I mean look at Cryzenx's Ocarina of Time Unreal Engine and MajorLink's fan animations. They could take care of some of the remakes while Nintendo can get more sequels. Not all remakes though.

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

@russell-marlow @AstroTheGamosian Well that might not be totally impossible. Considering Bandai Namco is working on a 3d action remake of a game under the Nintendo umbrella. Star Fox Assault might have a decent shot. If it's straight action genre like Bayonetta. Not action racers, platformers, RPG's, or sports,

Re: Random: Krystal's OG Voice Actor Reprises Role For Half-Life 2 Mod

GinMiguel

I'm hoping that a Star Fox game brings her, and maybe Miyu, and Fey back. The Star Fox team as is, is a total sausage fest and it would give them some flavor with them. It would be great if Estelle was brought back to be Krystal seeing as Alesia Glidewell retired apparently. Weird seeing Krystal interacting with human characters but the Fox team did in Starlink so full circle.

Re: Best Remakes And Remasters On Nintendo Switch

GinMiguel

I played and enjoyed Xenoblade DE, Famicom Detective Clubs and the Zelda rereleases. Links Awakening and Skyward Sword. I like the remasters that fix issues the old version had or sharpen and make it look prettier.

That being said, I hope Grezzo remaking Link's Awakening was a testing if they could work on 2d Zelda on HD hardware and they get another chance to make their own 2d Zelda game. Much like how Mercury Steam got to work on Metroid Dread after proving themselves with Samus Returns which sold way worse then Links Awakening's Remake.

Re: Sonic Movie Producer Talks About "Creating A Sonic Cinematic Universe"

GinMiguel

So Mario, Sonic and Pokemon get multiple chances for films. the latter 2 succeeded with the Mario one not known yet. But Zelda or Metroid, the games with the universe, lore, mythos, and movie DNA don't? Maybe they'll follow suit depending on that Mario Movie. If they do, hopefully by a different studio that has experience with the genres and kind of universes these games take place in.
