@Magician I hope Dragon's Crown comes soon... and Muramasa Rebirth... and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir... Hell, is a new release of Princess Crown too much to ask for? I want the total Vanillaware experience.

The name is incredible and I will not hear otherwise.

Game looks like typical Vanillaware goodness.

@samuelvictor Completely agree. The tank controls are fundamental to how these games play, I can't imagine the level design working without them. Yes, we need TLR and Chronicles too.

@Antraxx777 Nothing close to that.

@johnedwin It's becoming more and more obvious that new hardware is coming. I like most of what was shown, but certainly there's not a lot of "AAA Nintendo" after TotK aside from Mario Wonder.

Paper Mario fans excited to play the series for the first time.

Loved the first game. I'd have preferred a new entry in the same style, but anything to take us away from the direction of the sequels is appreciated.

@adrianfrg Looks a bit more like Odyssey, visually - comparing how Mario looks compared to that game.

Game of the show

@Gamer_Griff It's all built into the patches

@RareFan I enjoy the gameplay 🙂

Oh, and John Riccitiello used to be he CEO of EA as well, should explain so much of this.

So, that meme about pirating a game 1000 times to bankrupt a developer isn't far from the truth now?

@Ulysses Even with 3.5, I would guarantee you would still see a lot of 30fps games. Doesn't matter what the specs are, some developers will always choose to focus on other things (graphics, ai, physics) at the cost of fps.

@KBuckley27 Does it really matter, if DLSS provides such good image quality it's near imperceptibly different to "real" 4K?

@LikelySatan Because Origins has a lot to like.

@PepperMintRex Better than Arkham Knight probably

@Vyacheslav333 the small screen in handheld just makes lower resolutions not look as noticable as compared to playing docked. It's just objective that 540p will look sharper on a 6 or 7 inch 720p display, where the pixel density is much higher than a 50 inch 4k tv. Obviously even then there's limits, a game running at extremely low resolutions like 240p will still look muddy even in handheld mode, but 540p is still in that range where it looks decent.

@InTree Either way it's a film licensed game.

@RupeeClock There was GoldenEye before.

Of course he isn't retired yet, he has the job of Mario Ambassador.

@Not_Soos Funnily, I had the same experience. Only playing Spyro 1 out of the PS1 trilogy until much later when I downloaded them on PS3, and believing the first to be the better of the three.

@gsilver Yep, Spyro 1 has a kind of purity to it. Very simple game, but quite replayable.

I love pretending Sonic is the only IP Sega develops!

@Dimjimmer Konami greenlit this in response to the Kickstarter for Eiyudeen, it would not be surprising if the delay has something to do with trying to have a similar release date.

Wasn't there a Final Fantasy XIV series like this, but with a father and son bonding over the game?

THE GOAT!

Hmm, that's it. I cannot think of something more to say.

Oh cool. It took them way to long to fix the lack of a no filter option, but at least it's here now. Fixing the Game Gear audio and some of the leftover bugs is good too.

A shame that these were things needing to be fixed, but what's done is done. At least they haven't left it as is, I thought the Plus release would be the end of it really.

(Please just one more Colours Ultimate patch)

@SpaceboyScreams Fair points. I remember this was the same on PS Vita, I dabbled in testing out games with increased clocks, higher resolution patches, etc. As you said, the Switch's SoC is underclocked by Nintendo for precautions, even if they're a bit excessive, so they're not likely to allow third party developers to mess around with the clock speeds to achieve higher performance. Even their first party teams only increase them in games like BotW in pretty short bursts to speed up loading. So we were never likely to see a smooth 60fps Red Dead on the Switch officially.

Even if they had a lower resolution "performance mode", it wouldn't necessarily guarantee a consistent 60 if it was 720p docked. But this game even sticks to 30 on a PS5 so there's definitely some sort of parity guideline that 2K seems to want to stick to, likely in relation to the Xbox B/C version, for which that team could never implement an FPS boost patch for it, among many other requested games. It's interesting to think where we'd be if we did get that patch, or if the game was never backwards compatible to begin with - would we be looking at a different product right now? Rockstar had no problem letting people run GTA V at 60fps on current gen consoles.

I'm delving into a tangent now, so I'll cut it off here.

@sketchturner This isn't optimisation, it's brute forcing the Switch to run at higher clock speeds than it's designed to. Yes it works, but it also reduces battery life and runs the risk of overheating if pushed too far for extended periods of time.

Overclocking is the key factor here. Nintendo wouldn't want to let developers overclock the hardware to allow games to run better for various reasons - MVG even cautions you to overclock the Switch at your own risk - so if it couldn't achieve 60 without that, it's not the fairest comparison to anyone who wants to throw around the "lazy devs" argument. We see in the video that without the OC the game runs at about 40ish fps on average with the cap removed - you do not want to play games like this.

On the other hand, this is a great option for anybody who wants to play a "PC version" of the game. Running Red Dead on one of the Switch's emulators with the framerate cap removed is probably less of a hassle compared to say, RPCS3, based on my personal experience with those emulators.

Aside from Switch apparently running at 30fps, I'm not understanding the issue here. People were asking for modern ports of the HD Collection for ages, and that's what's being given here (with some bonuses like MGS1, the NES games, digital screenplays with artwork and soundtracks). Not understanding the negativity in the YT comments particularly, calling it Konami "bare minimum laziness". I would say that bonus content disproves that, and if rumours of MGS4 being brought over in a future collection is true, that especially proves this isn't lazy - putting Guns of the Patriots on new platforms is a huge effort.

If you want to play MGS with a more modern coat of paint, that's what MGS Delta appears to be for, I have no doubt they won't remake the others once they've released Snake Eater.

Will these costumes be extremely expensive also?

@SlasherZ "TikTok bad" "Fortnite bad", etc. thing that is popular with kids = bad and cringe

The "TikTok influence" as described is extremely tangential (younger audiences like to make silly dance videos with popular music on there, this game lets you have a silly dance to some popular songs), but just for mentioning the app, grown adults will cry about it and declare they "aren't interested anymore".

@Furealz exactly this.

@PeteW I had the exact opposite reaction to the first trailer for GTA. I thought it looked ugly from the outset frankly.

@JokerCK Double Eleven's work on Fallout 76 is the best that game has seen.

@DanijoEX Feels like Origins gets the short end of the stick due to a chunk of it's levels being included as Legends bonus content, which is great, but it's not the same as having the actual game in full. It deserves to be as available as Legends.

Looks like a bad Saturn game. Good job.

@PKDuckman "A shame the X68000 version of Valis 2 isn't included,"

Do I smell a Volume 4?

@Clyde_Radcliffe They shouldn't be, since you only get them for beating special stages, which are always optional. You won't get the true ending for not beating them all, but you will see the credits.

@RobynAlecksys They don't have a bias.
When the Xbox 360 was running games better than PS3, they pointed that out - and were called Xbox biased by Playstation fans.

When the PS4 was running games better than Xbox One, they pointed that out - and were called Playstation biased by Xbox fans.

Now, the Series X is more powerful than PS5 and thus runs most games better than it, which they of course cover, but sometimes we've actually seen better performance on PS5 versions, and they have shown these examples too.

Pretty sure I've seen this UI before too,

@SBandy1 yeah it's been well overdue that the Switch gets an actual new game and not another Legacy Edition. Those were usually reserved for older consoles where the sales weren't as high, very weird that they went for that on Switch as soon as they released the first FIFA.

@samuelvictor The next FIFA game is probably a few years away, it would take time for them to find a new licensee, then they'd have to start development from scratch. Next year at the earliest I'd assume. Unless FIFA goes with Konami and we get eFIFA this year? Because nobody else is making soccer games right now. That would be funny if PES becomes FIFA.

Master System/Game Gear NSO when???

Reminded me of this video someone made, giving the Switch UI the Wii U aesthetic.

@samuelvictor This part about 2 extra updates is news to me, but that's pretty cool. Is that a recent confirmation?

@MythTgr sometimes increasing framerate for these older games causes issues. RE4 QTEs and aiming are more difficult, and Leon's hitbox is bigger on the 60fps versions as an example.

@ComfyAko The correct take. Less is more. We need more ports that preserve the original as much as possible. Metroid Prime Remastered is stunning, but if rumours are true and the second and third games are more like these Pikmin releases, I'd rather they didn't bother with that makeover.

@Angelic_Lapras_King There is no lost Chapter 3, there's nothing in the files other than a title card. If any actual development went into it, we'd know. MGSV's Chapter 2 is the epilogue, like Chapter 5 in Peace Walker.

I'm of the opinion that this collection is massively overhated by the fandom. Of course, there are a few issues I would like to be fixed, but this is still the best official way to play these games, and most people wouldn't notice or care about the nitpicks that make the fans hate Origins.

Yeah, there are better ways to play the classics through fan made projects, but that's not really fair. Of course a fan made passion project where it can be continually developed over time, with the only limit being the developers personal interest, is going to outperform a commercial project with a specific budget (usually not high for rereleases) and a deadline (again not that high for rereleases).

Great example is the remaster of Resident Evil 4, where it's mostly the same as the Wii version with a few slightly nicer textures, versus the HD Project mod that completely overhauls the visuals - it looks gorgeous. It also took the creator 10 years to complete.

Hmm... I've had my eye on some of these. Hopefully there'll be some good sales before they go.

Edit: Turns out The Lost Child is 90% off in the European eShop right now.

@AllieKitsune Demon Gaze on Switch is also a separate publisher, hence it not being on the list.

@RareFan Jet Set is (allegedly) coming soon and there was a Space Channel 5 game recently for PSVR - and Cosmic Smash of all things. We're also about to get a Samba game, so Sega does still dig into their catalogue aside from Like a Dragon, Persona and Sonic from time to time.

@ComfyAko I'm in agreement on this.
