@tyranny_life DQ1 on NES was my first ever RPG as well. To this day I still have vivid memories of playing it as a child who could barely even read at that time. It was the game that started a lifelong addiction to not only JRPGs, but medieval fantasy in general.

So is Dragon Quest III HD-2D vaporware at this point? 😕

@OldManHermit Same here. I rented/borrowed/purchased and played a pretty absurd amount of SNES games back in the day, so it always throws me off a little bit when something like this pops up and I have never even heard of it before.

@BlubberWhale Oh, and Mario RPG is a VERY good place to start with JRPGS as the mechanics are very straightforward in the early game and it does a really good job of progressively teaching you to play tactically. Also, the game itself is very charming.

@BlubberWhale Uh oh! Beware, there is always the chance they will turn you into a hopeless JRPG addict! 🙂

Yes. This article is 100% accurate.
I played Terraria a little bit when it first came out. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but then it fell of my radar for a while. I tried playing it again a year or so ago and it felt like I was playing a completely different game. I couldn’t get back into it and haven’t touched it again since nor do I ever plan to.

@Olliemar28 Shudder is awesome. I am pretty pumped to be able to watch Mad God on there this June!

@Not_Soos I am more surprised that @mariomaster96 doesn’t know who the ninja turtles are.

A friend of mine owned Saturday Night Slam Masters when we were kids and I remember us having so much fun playing team mode.

Well that’s adorable!

@FishyS Yuck… I cringed just thinking about that.

I was laughing to myself during the entirety of this article, but the last section about Dark Souls got me the most.

I wouldn’t care if they went ahead and named it “Butt Chunk Fever.” I would still buy it.

I never really played as Fei Long, so I am more bummed that Law will likely no longer appear in Tekken games… 🙁

@Primo40295 Yes. This.
If this is the case, I will be buying one as soon as I am able.

Not a Nintendo game, but the end credits sequence in Splosion Man on Xbox 360 is still one of the greatest things ever.

I think it is safe to say at this point that if you are a fan of either JRPGs or shoot-em-ups, then you would be crazy not to own a Switch.

The original Fallout and Fallout II were utterly amazing games, BUT anyone who remembers them well knows that A LOT of the dialog in those games would likely get censored/edited before these would be put on Switch. There is no way those games would have been able to get released as they are in today’s climate.
I am not condoning censorship nor do I agree with it. I am just pointing out what would likely prevent us from seeing this on Switch.

@Specter_of-the_OLED The Kingdom Hearts debacle is terrible. I cannot speak for Babylon’s Fall, but Stranger of Paradise is actually a surprisingly fun game that manages to satirize Final Fantasy games while also paying homage to them.

@FTL Oh I know. I am just pointing out how silly the recommended age seems. 🙂
@abdias made a really good point in their comment though.

16 years of age. Old enough to drive a car? Yes.
Old enough to put together a 2807 piece Lego set? Hell no.

Dang! I wish I would have known about this during the Kickstarter campaign! This looks amazing!

This isn’t really my preferred genre, but holy cow what a visually beautiful game!

Every statue, action figure, plush, etc. on the Square-Enix shop is wildly overpriced, but this definitely takes things to a whole new level...

@ChromaticDracula I have been eyeballing Dragonbourne DX as well but haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet.

@ChromaticDracula If you are into new GBC games, check out Infinity if you haven't already. It recently went through a Kickstarter campaign and looks like it is going to be pretty fun.

The amount of support they have been giving this game is simply astounding. Every penny I spent on this remaster was worth it (and I bought it on two consoles).

Hmm… was the article’s subtitle meant to be “Magic: The Gardening?”

Thank you! I guess I should have read that then, huh?
That is pretty cool then. I still have my original copy of it in nearly perfect condition, so I guess I have no reason for buying it, but this is really cool for people that still have their SNES (or a Polymega).

Ok, getting the original voice actors is actually really damn cool. That is awesome.

@NotoriousWhiz Yeah, I am not sure either why they picked the NES version to do this with when the SNES one was the one most people seem to remember.

@Fizza If you want to play a great classic point and click adventure, I would highly recommend checking out Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. The original version is on GOG.com and well worth a look if you are interested in the genre.

@shoeses “stayed dead like F-Zero”

You know, you just had to throw that reminder in there to make me sad today, didn’t you? Is that what you wanted? Huh?!

I still have never played any of these games, but it definitely looks like Capcom gives a lot of love to these titles.

The Dark Souls entry on this list made me laugh out loud a bit. 🙂
I forgot all about that part of the game.

The first game was highly addicting, so I will definitely be tempted to pick up the sequel on my Xbox.

100% backward compatibility and the option to transfer all my current data to the new console would make upgrading a no-brainer.

@AlexanderDaniels Just don’t go wearing it out in areas you aren’t leveled up enough for. Problem solved.

Ok, I will see myself out now…

Hexen remastered please and thanks.

When A Link to the Past first released, it was about as close to being a perfect video game as you could get at that time.

Goodbye money…

I will have to keep an eye on this one. The art style and game description both intrigue me.

“Final Fantasy VIII's remaster proves to be just as weird and polarizing a release”

Indeed, it was VERY polarizing when it first released. I absolutely loved it and I remember a good friend of mine who was also a huge FF fan hating it with a passion. Some of the mechanics were kind of weird, but they were still fun and the characters in FFVIII were great. Google essays sometime regarding how Squall has schizoid personality disorder.

@PanFriedSoup It really is crazy how influential a teaser/demo for a cancelled game has been on the horror genre.

“in which you're flying around in a UFO trying to tame 'ancient demonic cows', also known as a Friday night in Nevada”

This seems about right. Nevada is a pretty wild place. 🙂

@Olliemar28 @Specter_of-the_OLED
Mmm... yes. It should have been the GBA SP ags-101. The perfect blend of form and function.

I have yet to play a game that is creepier than PT was (the playable teaser for the cancelled Silent Hills game on PS4). It is a shame we never got to see the full game come to fruition.

@nesrocks You hate it so much that you decided to spend 40 hours playing it? Am I missing something here???

KEEP CALM?!?! Impossible!

Ogre Battle 64 was crazy good. I would love a port or remaster of that one on Switch, but would obviously not complain about any of them showing up as remasters.

I love GBA and backed this game the same day I heard about it. I also backed Infinity (GBC). With the Analog Pocket out now, I wonder if we will be seeing more of these.
