The colour palette and texture changes definitely make it feel more like Sinnoh, but the chibi models are disappointment for me.
I understand that it would force everything to be rescaled to match the characters but it would have made it feel more like a remaster. Right now it looks like a (well made) mobile game and then they added some blur effects.
If you have addictive tendencies, then sure it could happen. But you could replace gaming with drinking, drugs, food, shopping, all kinds of things.
I think the view of gamers in the media and what gamers are really like has a lot of gaps. I spend less time gaming than my friends do on Netflix or other "useless" activities. People need to decompress somehow.
I just remember having to do a race on the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier and being particularly annoyed by it. Mostly because I lacked the skill, and even when it worked it glitches out...
But apart from that I would recommend it! Would be a great portable game on Switch.
That's nice but I feel like the shipped might have sailed by now...
-they could have brought back old features or furniture sets and I would have been happy! Adding a few things to order isn't really much in terms of content - you order it in a minute and that's it.
Never been so happy to buy a game I already own, I might even buy the digital deluxe version at this point.
Looking forward to hearing the music - the graphics seem like a nice mix of the original and Banana Blitz HD so I assume the same is happening for the soundtrack
Looks cool, but I don't feel the need to rush out and buy it. -but if I ever need a replacement I will definitely get one (if there's a nicer colour option)
@TheFrenchiestFry The Japanese trailer was a full three minutes, and it showed off more than the Treehouse did. I get that they're explaining it for newcomers but a lot of people won't be interested, and the people that are will be drawn in by the gameplay/music/aesthetics instead of an explanation.

Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water Adds New Character Costumes On Switch
Yuri's punk costume is the best one by a mile...but it's still not great. Even eyeliner can't save it.
At least it's keeping the Dead or Alive DNA?
Re: Atlus Drops Shin Megami Tensei V "Gabriel" Trailer
Don't they release these everyday? I wonder why this demon is news but the rest aren't, because they have showcased way more exciting demons.
Must be a slow news day, especially with some generic press info and old screenshots

Re: Kazuma Kiryu Will Actually Be In Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania
I'm happy enough with AiAi and friends but these are nice extras.
If I'm going to replay the stages a hundred times then I might as well change up my character once in a while.

Re: Make Your Own Wine The Proper Way In 'Hundred Days', Coming This Winter
Seems like a really odd concept, but I'm interested!
Definitely another one to go on the endless wishlist.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Speeds Into Second As Nintendo Takes Half Of Top Ten
Why does one of the best playing/looking games on Switch have to be a 2014 Wii U game?
I know it's amazing but you can only go around the same courses for so many years
It's like driving on autopilot these days...
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update 1.11.1 Patch Notes - More Bug Fixes
Who doesn't love a patch for a patch? At least it was fast, the bugged shop music was unsettling.
Re: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Is The Best Modern LEGO Game, And It's Coming To Switch

But apart from that I would recommend it!

Re: Random: Tekken Director Katsuhiro Harada Really Wants Masahiro Sakurai To Visit His Bar
And I thought he wanted him to visit a bar because Sakurai was rich, this was nicer than I originally thought
But I fully expect Sakurai to be working on Smash or in a coma, the guy needs a break.
Re: Reminder: Unlock A Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Theme In Tetris 99's 23rd Maximus Cup
This is probably my main use of Nintendo Switch Online (besides MK8 a few times a year)
....guess I should make the most of it!
Re: Pokémon Launches 'Pokémon 25: The Red EP', With A 'Blue EP' Counterpart Coming Later
Between this, Pokémon Unite and that Katy Perry song I am so confused by The Pokémon Company this year...
Re: Jet Set Radio's Beat Joins Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania As A Playable Character
They seem to be suddenly aware of their audience for this game, which is nice after years of questionable choices.
If they can't make new Sega classics then bring back the old stuff
Beat seems like a fun addition!
Re: After Almost 30 Years, Another Iconic Sega Arcade Is Closing Down
It's a shame, but I'm not surprised.
I always found arcades and their machines kinda gross, I doubt I'll be feeling different after a pandemic
Re: UK Pokémon Fans Can Now Stream Episodes On BBC iPlayer
Read that last part as "Shin Megami Tensei V with Ant and Dec" , not Saturday Morning TV
...but that could be an interesting crossover.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Players Are Reporting A Frustrating Soft-Lock Glitch
Well hopefully they patch it out, but I've been so uninspired to play anything that I'm still at the Earth Temple 😅
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Switch Game Of 2021 So Far?
So this year I bought 3D World + Bowser's Fury, SMT Nocturne HD Remaster and Skyward Sword HD.
...I haven't bought anything new have I?
Re: Picross S Genesis & Master System Edition Could Be Puzzle Perfection For SEGA Fans
Would have loved this if it was on 3DS/Mobile...isn't it weird on a TV?
-I'll wishlist it anyways
Re: Nintendo Says More Animal Crossing: New Horizons Content Is In Development, Next Update Drops This Week
That's nice but I feel like the shipped might have sailed by now...
-they could have brought back old features or furniture sets and I would have been happy! Adding a few things to order isn't really much in terms of content - you order it in a minute and that's it.
Re: Rumour: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax To Be Remastered For "Modern Platforms"
Played the original but not Ultimax, so I would pick it up. More than happy to see the P3/P4 cast again anyway
-they better include the DLC though.
Re: 'Shin Megami Tensei If' Is Being Added To Japan's NSO Super Famicom Collection
Maybe I'll load it up and look at the title screen, but I honestly have no chance of completing it.
Re: New Trailer Showcases Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania's 'Wondrous Worlds'
Never been so happy to buy a game I already own, I might even buy the digital deluxe version at this point.
Looking forward to hearing the music - the graphics seem like a nice mix of the original and Banana Blitz HD so I assume the same is happening for the soundtrack
Re: Nintendo Won't Say Whether Switch OLED Joy-Con Fixes Drift, So Don't Count On It
Not suprised, but my Joy Cons don't drift anyway.
-however my Pro Controller does. Nobody is safe!
Re: Deals: Get A Nintendo T-Shirt, Mug And Coasters For Just £8.99 Combined (UK)
Sounds like someone needed to clear space in their warehouse
But a deal's a deal, can't deny that.
Re: Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness Is Streaming On Netflix Starting Today
I wasn't going to watch if it was a big commitment...but that's a short series!
Would rather watch something short and well animated though, bad acting can last forever
Re: Switch OLED Trailer Shows Tweaked Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Footage
It does look slightly better, nice to see it less saturated and with some post processing.
Could have always hoped for more improvements but I'm sure there's no time to overhaul everything
Re: Finally, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Switch OLED Model, The 'Switch Pro' We've Been Expecting
Looks cool, but I don't feel the need to rush out and buy it.
-but if I ever need a replacement I will definitely get one (if there's a nicer colour option)
Re: Nintendo UK Celebrates Summer With A 30-Day Switch Accessory Competition
Sure, I could take a video of myself playing BotW alone in a dark room...but I don't think that's the advertising they want.
-but it's more realistic than any of the ads they have made, so when Nintendo is ready I'll make my acting debut for them.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Dev Team Has Tripled In Size To Meet Sequel's "Much Bigger Ambitions"
It's still Ubisoft so I'm cautious.
But it does look great, makes me want to replay the original.
Re: Nintendo Underlines Its Commitment To Diversity And Inclusivity
Always find it a shame that they need to announce these things. Treating your employees with respect so they feel safe enough should be the standard.
Hopefully it's genuine and this isn't some rushed report sent out during pride month.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is The Latest Game To Get Its Very Own Twitter Emoji
@SilentHunter382 Yes, because the game is much better than people give it credit for.
-but those Joy Cons still look pretty good...
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Premium Edition Pre-Orders Go Live Alongside A New Trailer
I mean...it's nice?
But the game is more than enough, the rest really isn't necessary.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
I'm happy enough with the game in HD, I never had all of the problems people had with the original.
Sure it's not the best Zelda game - but it's still great.
Re: Sega Reveals Digital And Physical Versions Of Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania
Classic models and soundtrack? Yes please!
...I just want the first two in HD
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Version 1.2.0 Patch Notes - Fixes, New Functions And More
So can I keep the costume for completing the base game 100% or not? I guess I haven't done everything now...
-at least I'll have somewhere to use it.
Re: Nintendo Reassures Us That Bayonetta 3 "Still Exists" Despite E3 No-Show
We had no news on SMT V for years and it looks incredible, things are worth the wait. Same goes for BotW and it's sequel.
If you have nothing to focus on until Bayonetta 3 then that's your problem
Re: It Appears This Mario Party Superstars Minigame Has Been Adapted For Accessibility
It does look better, and I'm sure the texture budget was more limited back in the N64 days.
At least the mushrooms don't have to share the same design Everyone wins
Re: Reminder: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass - Wave 1 Is Now Available
I'll wait and see what's in the second wave, I'm still on the fence.
The previous Nintendo X Warriors games had an excessive amount of content but this feels lacking...
Re: Video: Catch Up On All The E3 2021 Nintendo Treehouse Live Demonstrations
@TheFrenchiestFry The Japanese trailer was a full three minutes, and it showed off more than the Treehouse did.
I get that they're explaining it for newcomers but a lot of people won't be interested, and the people that are will be drawn in by the gameplay/music/aesthetics instead of an explanation.
Re: Video: Catch Up On All The E3 2021 Nintendo Treehouse Live Demonstrations
I wish they could show more in these demonstrations, but they're really slow and don't achieve much. The SMT section was particularly awful.
I know I'll buy most of these games Nintendo, but at least show us something.
Re: "Important" Pokémon UNITE News Will Be Shared Tomorrow
It's amazing that there are three upcoming Pokémon games - even a Diamond/Pearl remake - yet I have no enthusiasm for any of them...
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
Overall very average but some managed to stand out.
Very happy to see some gameplay for SMT V though!
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Is A Switch Exclusive Launching This November
Glad it's worth waiting all of these years for, looks like they have been busy!
Definitely an upgrade over Nocturne HD, even IV and Apocalypse. Very excited
Re: Nintendo Asks That You Don't Co-Stream The E3 2021 Nintendo Direct, Thanks Very Much
Don't see a problem with it, I'll enjoy it for what it is.
...and who is watching someone react to a livestream? Who are these people!?
Re: SacriFire Looks A Lot Like Octopath Traveler, And It Could Be Coming To Switch
But Octopath Traveller looked good? This is a bit of a mess.
And I would have to fund it...so I'll pass.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Switch Port Is Finally Confirmed
They've handed this game out for free multiple times, I'm not paying for a Switch version.
-interested to see how it holds up though
Re: Random: Logan Paul Thinks The Pokémon Card He Wore To The Mayweather Fight Is Now Worth A Million Dollars
He's seriously ruined my name, people used to say "Logan...like Wolverine from the X-Men?"
-now they just say "oh, like the suicide forest dude?"
...I want my name back
Re: Uniqlo's Latest Animal Crossing Clothing Range Is Now Available Online
The shirts are a decent quality but the designs aren't that exciting.
...and I can't survive another Uniqlo/Hermes delivery. Not again!
Re: Reminder: DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
I'm not surprised it's gone under the radar, seems more like a game I would get at a supermarket.
I'm sure lots of people will enjoy it though
Re: E3 2021 Full Schedule Revealed, Fan Registration Opens Today
Is it worth registering?
I'd rather be antisocial and watch an hour or two of trailers for games I can't afford...
