@Lizuka exactly! That "artistic vision argument" is such nonsense. Indeed, the team were so quick in agreeing to make changes, no one can actually believe there is an "artistic vision" in the first place. The game is a well crafted (bar for its insane difficulty) and beautiful creation, but it's... a game.
@eldersnake but then the kidz won't feel part of an elite. Part of their fun comes from knowing not many people can go much far in the games. Oh their need to feel special!
@Shannynerd exactly my thoughts and that's a shame. Adding an easy mode won't harm anyone (do you like it difficult, then choose difficult) and it will allow other people to enjoy it. That's why I've played videogames for almost 40 years- to enjoy myself, not to prove to myself or others that I'm an olympic gamer.
Quite a bit imo. After all the leaks, just a short vid basically confirming their veracity was a letdown. Hopefully, they'll show us something exciting next time.
I've been a huge fan of the Turrican series since the original title on both the Amiga and the C64. But buying these will be a no-no. I may look like a sucker, but I'm not one.
As soon as I read "cloud version", I made the decision not to purchase it. I want to be able to play the games I buy even after they decide to "not in the cloud anymore, folks".
It always seems as if I'm the only one who dislikes Super Metroid. It's a great game until the moment you start climbing walls. When that power is unblocked, frustration sets in. I've tried the game several times and can't shake off that feeling. If only they would have made that easier...
I'm a huge fan of Turrican. The first one was the game that made me see how great the Amiga really was. Yet, in no way am I going to spend my hard-earned euros on such an incomplete anthology.
For one reason my avatar is Turrican: I love Turrican.The first game in the series convinced me that the Amiga was a great machine. Yet, I love my hard-earned money more. In no way am I going to spend $75 to play the games on switch.
No save, no money sorry. Although I do miss Amiga times, I don't miss those passwords. A great idea would be to have a compilation of Amiga games on the switch.
"We do wish publishers would kindly put a stop to this sort of thing." It all depends on buyers. If they keep on doing their game, publishers won't change it.
Loved Giana Sisters on C64. Bought the WiiU version and have regretted my hard earned euros ever since. Beautiful graphics, mediocre gameplay (and I'm being generous).
I kinda suck at most of Hollow Knight's bosses but love the game. However, after the last update, animation stutters at various places, sometimes so badly that the game becomes unplayable- it had never happened before. Anyone having the same problem?

Re: Absolum And Ball X Pit Post Excellent Initial Sales, But They Deserve More
Haven't played Absolum yet, but I'm totally hooked on Ball X Pit. The one that makes me put Balatro aside.

@BongoBongo choose not to give up to temptation. As simple as that.

Re: Nightdive Studios' CEO Says That Game-Key Cards On Switch 2 Is "Disheartening"
@Jester676 I had not. Are we twin souls? 😁
Re: Nightdive Studios' CEO Says That Game-Key Cards On Switch 2 Is "Disheartening"
@Jester676 or at least give players the option.
Re: Nightdive Studios' CEO Says That Game-Key Cards On Switch 2 Is "Disheartening"
I'm starting to doubt that I'll buy Switch 2. No problem, have plenty of games to have fun with.

@LikelySatan it's like night and day!
Re: Ark: Survival Evolved Has Been Updated Again For Switch
Is is worth buying now? In 2018 nintendolife gave it a 4. I guess it has improved since...?

No, thank you. My old 32 gb is fine, thanks.
Re: Metroid Games You Need To Play Before Metroid Dread
SuperMetroid: a great game marred by an extremely unintuitive system to climb (sort of) walls. I always give up when that ability is unlocked
Re: Konami's Classic Coin-Op Shooter Thunder Cross II Hits Switch This Week
Spent quite a few coins back in those days.
Re: Review: Turrican Flashback - An Annoyingly Incomplete Collection That's Still Worth A Look
I'm a huge fan of Turrican. The first one was the game that made me see how great the Amiga really was. Yet, in no way am I going to spend my hard-earned euros on such an incomplete anthology.
Re: Random: Remember To Charge Your Switch At Least Twice A Year, Nintendo Helpfully Suggests
Twice... a year? This is what I call a useful piece of advice.

@Shiryu The game that turned me into an Amiga lover.
Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con, As Well As Your Nintendo Switch
@nessisonett if there were no controller updates, they would sure drift. It's a small price to pay to have 100% reliable controllers

@GameOtaku Exactly!! This is insane.
Re: The Physical Version Of Spyro Reignited Trilogy On Switch Will Require A Sizable Download
@Angelic_Lapras_King Then, publishers will require a 4 tera download...
Re: Review: Gunlord X - Top-Notch Old-School Blasting Action

Re: Review: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Owltimate Edition - Still A Real Hoot Five Years On
I didn't like it on WiiU. I doubt I would on the Switch (29.99?? wow!)
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Owltimate Edition Arrives On Switch This Month
Loved Giana Sisters on C64. Bought the WiiU version and have regretted my hard earned euros ever since. Beautiful graphics, mediocre gameplay (and I'm being generous).
