Re: The Hardest Games On Nintendo Switch

I bought Book Quest. After a boring first 20 min you come to a dragon....who is brutally difficult. I mean no game should put a boss that difficult this early in a game. It's the first boss. I haven't touched it since I got Blossum Tales 2. Now that's a neat game

Re: Sonic Frontiers Story Trailer Officially Confirms November Release

Joe-b

As a Sega fan boy from the beginning, it pains me to think if what Sega has become. I loved the hungry Sega days when Nintendo had a monopoly on developers and Sega was making all the Master System games themselves, while killing it in the arcade. Fast forward multiple hardware skus, and a Japanese parent company that didn't care about their American Arm and you now have 5-6 developers at a table saying, "hey let's surprise everyone and make another Sonic game!". Who cares. They have the greatest arcade games and an awesome catalog of IP's and they sit around thinking of ways to make another sonic game. Sad.

Nintendo has confirmed that it will not attend Gamescom this year in any capacity. But instead will focus on bringing Ys 1 and the rest of the Ys series to the Switch. Also joining the line up is Sega's Skies of Arcadia and a Master System Compilation.
I am so excited!

Re: Ys And Trails Developer Plans To Release More Retro Titles On Switch

EVERY WEEK I look for news stating that Ys 1 will come to Switch. (Vanished Omens). I thought this was what I've been waiting all along for. However, we're closer to receding that than ever before! I really enjoyed the Master System version of this game. It has been released on multiple systems, bring it to the Switch!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 14th)

@Royalblues the collection was $4.99 on the eshop. I think I grabbed it on the last day of the sale. At first I thought I made a mistake but as you progress through the game it gets better. I'm going to play them in order. If you like 8 bit adventure type games give it a shot. I think it cam be a little tough on where to go next so I walk around trying different things to move to the next level. I'll hopefully see it through and move on to fairune 2.
