Re: Video: Metroid Prime Remastered - Switch Vs. GameCube Comparison

@TruthisRare I did also... except I don't think anything would ever have been Pro exclusive, would have decimated software sales... just Pro enhanced like the PS4 did.

And if we are at all correct, COVID definitely had something to do with it... Switch sales skyrocketed, software development slowed to a crawl, and parts became difficult to source... so we got the OLED model instead.

Re: Video: We've Played SteamWorld Build - Is It Any Good?

HolyGeez03

Glad to see them expanding... I received Dig essentially for free as part of a Humble Bundle... had no interest in it, but played it and it was so great that I bought Heist.

SteamWorld Heist was also a wonderful surprise... and Dig 2 was also obviously great.

Would like to see a Heist 2, but not sure what they could do better.

Re: Talking Point: So, When Will Nintendo Announce Its Next Console?

I love my Switch, but it's definitely time. I was pretty convinced that a Pro model was coming, but COVID issues plus a sales boom turned that into just the OLED upgrade.

If it's not backwards compatible, I will be stunned and will probably not buy one for a while.

I'd bet it will launch around the same time as Metroid Prime 4.

Highly doubt it will be announced until after BOTW2 releases.

Re: Overcooked! All You Can Eat Adds New Chefs, Levels And Recipes In Upcoming Free Update

@Ogbert It might be worth contacting the developers if you have purchased both 1 and 2 and now have no way to get the upcoming DLC without additionally purchasing All You Can Eat.

It is possible that they will help out in some way... I once purchased a game on Steam, which was a very simple game but had major performance issues... Steam refused to refund me but the game devs sent me a code to download on Switch.

The All You Can Eat version gets cheap enough with sales that it is worth getting if you plan to keep playing it... It will probably be cheap enough at times to warrant a purchase just for the exclusive DLC.

All You Can Eat is definitely the version to get as the original has some glaring issues and progress can be very difficult and the fun ends fast. It is too bad that play-testing didn't reveal these issues earlier, so they could be corrected in the original versions.

Also annoying is that there is now the original game, the sequel, a Season Pass, a Gourmet edition, and All You Can Eat.

At this point, I feel like all versions other than All You Can Eat should be unavailable for purchase so new buyers don't get burned.

Re: Smurfs Kart Nails Down A November Release Date

The visuals do look quite nice... but you can't tell how the racing "feels" without playing it. Even the wizards at Nintendo didn't get it right on some of the Mario Kart iterations.

And what are the chances this runs at solid 60 FPS on Switch?

This makes me think a Pikmin Kart would be incredibly fun as an "adventure racer".

Re: Fighting Game 'Die By The Blade' Reminds Us Of Bushido Blade In The Best Way

HolyGeez03

Absolutely loved Bushido Blade 1 & 2 in my college days... got a PS1 emulator just for those games.

The closest thing I have found since then is the Deadliest Warrior games... which are actually quite good and one of the reasons I keep my PS3 plugged in.

Really excited for this game... I hope there is a lot of variety between the fighters and weapons, which is one of the best things about Deadliest Warrior.

Re: Review: Wave Race 64 - A Thrilling Racer That's Still Deeply Impressive

HolyGeez03

I remember seeing an ad for this on a TV at Blockbuster... I didn't think I had any interest in it, but there weren't alot of N64 games at the time... I rented it, played it all weekend, and bought it as soon as I could. Put a ton of hours into it, especially Stunt Mode once I could easily beat the CPUs.

The game has a wonderful ambience and feel... so simple and yet so good... I still break it out every once in a while and pretty much just ride the dolphin around.

This games needs an HD remaster (along with Star Fox 64).
