Re: Talking Point: Would You Want To Reuse Your Joy-Con On 'Switch 2'?

IceClimbersMain

I think that Joycon are an incredible idea with terrible execution. The ability to switch from a handheld console to a 2 player tabletop console in one piece (nothing extra) is still really cool to me, but they made them too small, prone to failure (beyond stick drift), and WAY too expensive.

With that being said, if the next console has backwards compatibility (and it should) then I fully expect Joycon to be compatible wirelessly.

Re: Capcom eShop Golden Week Sale Includes Monster Hunter Rise For "Lowest Price Ever" (US)

If this is anything like the previous Capcom sales, then they've also got the Capcom Fighting Bundle for $25, which gets you both the Capcom Fighting Collection and the Street Fighter Legacy Collection.

That's 22 of Capcom's best arcade fighting games on the go, including every arcade SF up to Third Strike and Hyper SF2, every Darkstalkers game, both Puzzle Fighters, Cyberbots and Red Earth which is exclusive to the collection. I highly recommend it over the Arcade Stadiums if you're looking for fighting games.

Re: Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story Delivers Playable Industry History Next Month

@frenchtoastplease Karateka I don't think was huge but Atari 50 did pretty well for them I would guess. Without a doubt the best way to play well over 100+ old games and they recently said they're returning to it with free updates and possibly paid dlc (mayyyybe some third party stuff as well).

I think the reason people don't talk about them much is that they focus on the game history more than the game itself. For example, Street Fighter fans will tell you that DE's 30th anniversary collection is the absolute worst way to play these games and that's because they're right. Not that great online and some input lag. I bought it but more so I can just have the games and soundtracks on my Switch (and that it was $5 lol).

And the more recent games (SNK, Atari, and now this) are collections with some decent games here and there but it is mostly a playable history documentary, which I personally love but the wide appeal isn't there.

Re: Palworld Has A Pokémon Mod, Though Video Takedowns Are Already Being Dished Out

@Jiggies Hey, I love LGE. All I need is some decent graphics, stable framerate, and some interactability with your Pokémon. All Gamefreak has to do is take some time and make a really good game.

I'll admit, the DLC for Gen 9 made the game much better, but the graphics and unstable game still breaks the game for me. Palworld is in early access and it still runs better. The biggest multimedia franchise in the world could do better.

Re: Oh Dear, Contra: Operation Galuga's Physical Edition Is A Download Code In A Box

IceClimbersMain

Like some other people said, I'm fine owning games digitally!

But putting a code in a box defeats why I collect physical games. My switch could get smashed and replaced, the servers could shut down, but I'd still have my physical games. Nothing stuck on a console or an account.

Yes I'll buy digital games, I'm a sucker for Capcom, SNK, and Bandai Namco sales, but those games are cheap! I can pay $5 for the Street Fighter collection and not feel bad if I eventually lose that purchase somehow. But for full priced games, I try to stay physical.

Re: Sakurai Is Sceptical That Future Smash Bros. Titles Can Match Ultimate's Scope

IceClimbersMain

I love Ultimate, so at this point I can see them do one of two things: "reboot" the series with a much smaller roster, a more defined story, and only feature Nintendo characters, or they just port Ultimate with a few more popular characters, stages and spirits.

I would prefer the latter. Get us up to 100 characters, Rayman, Vergil (to continue Vergil being only in final editions lol), Geno, Waluigi, Master Chief, and whoever else deserves to be in. Make Ultimate more Ultimate.

Or they could give us Melee with online...
