HammerKirby

Hand drawn would've been so amazing lol. Imagine if it looked like the Sonic Cd intro. Nonetheless the game looks pretty great as is.

@ozwally Tears of the Kingdom and some other JP only releases also use 32 gb.

@mike_intv exclusvity isn't just for third parties tho. Most of Sony's and Nintendo's exclusives are first party.

Nintendo was the one who basically "invented" the system selling exclusive with Super Mario Bros. Although you could argue it goes back further with Atari buying up the Pac Man rights. Either way exclusives are amazing ideally. It gives each console their own identity. What is the Xbox One's identity going to be LMAO? While it may mean you might not get to experience every game you want if you can't afford (or have some weird hang-up) about owning multiple systems, it makes each console distinct and fun to talk about. The fact that exclusives as a concept are slowly fading away is kinda sad to me honestly. Anyways yeah this Microsoft statement is dumb.

@RetroGames why do people always have to do this song and dance? It's not the 90s anymore you're allowed to like both 🙄. If you don't like Sonic, that's fine but why do you all always have to bring up Mario as a comparsion when they really don't play that similar to each other?

Seems like a spiritual successor to Smooth Moves to me! Pretty hype

@Not_Soos I hear people say this and it always kind of confuses me. You do know the Switch could still last 10 years, with a successor coming out in that timeframe, right? Just look at the 3ds, PS2, NES, SFC in Japan, etc. They could easily come out with a successor say next year and still keep supporting the Switch with cross-gen games and smaller releases.

@Serpenterror Not true. The Master System versions run at 60 hz when played on a U.S Master system or Genesis. https://youtu.be/SQPvA0OvR24. When it comes to retro games, the video standard is tied to the console itself, not the games. However some games that are "optimized" for PAL will actually run faster than intended on NTSC consoles. But this does not apply to all of Sega JP's games on Master System.

@HeadPirate You are aware Sega already owns Atlus right? So they would have to buy Sega. And while Sega has a good business relationship with Microsoft, they also have a good business relationship with Nintendo as well. Also I really doubt Sega Sammy wants to be bought, since they are doing just fine as is. Also its tough for American companies to buy Japanese companies.

How on earth do you think og Link's Awakening is better when you can play DX on an OG game boy in black & white anyway????

Not appealing colors to me personally 🤷‍♂️

Finally the sequel we've all been dreaming of. Let's milk some cows again

@HeadPirate Dolphin is actually violating the law but not for THIS reason lol. It has the Wii system code keys in its code which is illegal. Emulation is perfectly legal as demonstrated in the Sony vs Connectix and Sony vs Bleem cases. The cases which you cite are related to Switch modchips which have NOTHING to do with emulation lol.

And now people are going to pretend to be furious at this, while you can still access Dolphin on their own website lmao.

@Tasuki Lmao considering you ordered from Limited Run this comment is rather ironic.

@Coalescence "I don't like the look of it so it should be blocked for anyone to play!!!" There's far worse games releasing on the Switch eshop so however you swing it, this is dumb logic.

@Lizuka Luigi does play different so there it is that. Snes version is still better tho lmao

@Chaotic_Neutral yeah this would be like if Nintendo turned Mario into a collectathon sandbox without traditional power ups. Oh wait...

@Zidentia remember when critics rated 2d games low in the late 90s just for being 2d? Critics have always have been at least somewhat driven by momentary issues.

@BinaryMessiah the Wii definitely did have detracters complaining about it being SD instead of HD lol. But I'm fine with underpowered hardware as long as the game is great as a retro gamer myself.

@Fiq_Strife you would need to be quite a bit more powerful than the Switch to have the head room to emulate it well. Only the very top of the line android devices would likely be able to emulate Switch even half-decently. Emulation always requires a quite a bit more compute power than actual native ports.

@Zulzar bruh Dragon Warrior 1 is still not even an expensive game. I think this is dumb and feels hoardy, but it is clearly not an attempt to make a profit. They would not do it with such a common NES game if they actually wanted to restrain the supply.

@Snatcher Remember they were given away for free with a lot of Nintendo power subs. So its a really common game.

How are they making a gamecube version when GC copy protection hasn't been broken yet outside of the Action Replay? 🤔

@victordamazio As I stated right after that, physical copies are not limited. Stock is likely poor due to this being a strange physical release for Nintendo with the digital shadow drop. They will obviously re-stock the game and eventually everybody will forget this ever happened lmao.

@victordamazio It's not artifical scarity tho lmao. It's digitally available and Nintendo is going to restock this game in like a couple of weeks probably. 3d all Stars is an example of artifical scarity as it was annouced from the start that it would be unavailable March 31st.

@Qwertyninty yeah I could see preferring the art style of the original tbh, but its just nice to see they clearly put a lot of effort in it

Seems more like a remake than a remaster to me

I like how they put the effort in to recreate the U.S box art for the U.S release and the japanese for tje JPN release. For Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe and Skyward Sword HD for example they just used the og JPN box art worldwide

I do kinda wonder how some have consistent problems with Joy Con (and other controllers like DualSense) drift while others like me have no issues at all. What is the cause of Analog stick drift?

I always wondered with stuff like this. How does it work on Wii without plugging into the sensor bar port?

Not useless but a lot of ppl don't know, you can actually kill the Angry Sun in SMB3 by throwing a koopa shell at it. You can also kill it with the Hammer Bros Suit I believe, but you can get nearly anything with that. You can also can grab a shell in Sm64 to swim faster in Dire Dire Docks and Jolly Roger Bay. Mario galaxy actually didn't introduce that.

@Tasuki They changed the voice actors of the whole Pokemon anime cast when the reins for dubbing went from 4Kids to the Pokemon Company.

@Ralizah as someone's whose played most of the mainline Pokemon including S/V, none of them have it anywhere near this bad. Sure X and Y was pretty bad if you had 3d on I guess, but that's an easy user fix lol. Scarlet and Violet legit perform like an n64 game and look quite bad on top of that.

@RupeeClock it leaked out there, so we can see footage of the Switch version. It seems Sega only sent review codes for the ps5 version for the most part for some reason.

Somebody forgot current year is 2022, not 2023 🤔

@Pillowpants I mean if they're asked a question in an interview, they kinda have to answer it. Unless you're Reggie of course lol

@cra1g0s buying gba games on the Wii U eshop won't last for much longer at this point lol

@Truegamer79 framerate is actually very important in a platforming game. That's why almost every Super Mario game runs at 60 besides 64 and Sunshine, which are earlier 3d games so they get a pass. Trust me if Mario World somehow ran at 30 fps you would notice. But yeah I agree it doesn't matter in an rpg too much.

Wow it seems they can't get anything right with this game lol

@Impoh it has apparently improved a lot will all the updates that have come out. Idk tho because I haven't played it.

@BloodNinja well yeah people who tend to ignore facts when put right in front of them do make me kinda mad. Stop being so stubborn in your ignorance.

@BloodNinja the news media? Dude I sent you a video recorded directly from the console, not just an article.. Should I trust a video or your recollection from years ago back when 360 and ps3 really struggled to run anything. You're one of those people who thinks Facebook is a more reliable source of news than media aren't you? Oh then why do you care about the shops shutting down if you don't even own the consoles?

@BloodNinja or you could just softmod the consoles too. From what I hear it's relatively easy to do and it gives you the original experience. This applies to all consoles with some kind of shop so, 3ds, DSi, Wii, Wii U.

@BloodNinja Do you remember how bad Skyrim performed on ps3? Switch does 900p docked, fairly consistent 30 fps according to Digital Foundry. https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2017-skyrim-switch-vs-playstation-4 Skyrim on Ps3 is 720p docked with bad anti-aliasing, making for a worse picture than a sharp 720p and truly abymasal framerate. Here's a framerate test for Skyrim on ps3: https://youtu.be/QuOBSSabBU0

@Poodlestargenerica every game I can think of on both Switch and Ps3 runs better on Switch tho. The complex cell hardware might give ps3 some small advantages on paper, but the Switch is more powerful in practice.

@BloodNinja just buy games physically 😛

@Ravenmaster I think the "Switch Pro" (basically a new 3ds/ps4 pro/Xbox One X style upgrade) isn't real at this point, but obviously a Switch successor is coming. Nintendo is not going to stop making consoles lol

@Poodlestargenerica The switch is already more powerful than a ps3? Also I think in a couple years they definitely would have a device on the level of the ps4 with the same size as the current Switch.

This is probably more for a full on Switch successor rather than a "Switch Pro". There seems to be some confusion between the two.
