@Jireland92 I think it would only cause confusion to change the name at this point. Roguelikes aren't always like Rogue either, but I think roguelike is still a fine name for the genre.

@NintendoKnight Well, to be fair, there are far more 3D games or 2D games than HD-2D games.

Nightdive has been doing some very obscure stuff lately. And that's fantastic.

Ideally the developer would make sure that the game looks and runs well. But if compromises are necessary, then it's better to let the player choose whether they want more stability or better image quality.

@Pillowpants I honestly couldn't care less about the size. From what I've heard, SMT V was long enough already, so I'd rather they focused on making the game more enjoyable to play instead of bloating it further. I did play the original for like 10 hours before getting bored. Of course it's impossible to say yet how much better Vengeance is.

Would love to see a remaster of the Fallout 1 & 2 on modern consoles. Make it control well on a controller and add some quality of life fixes, and it would be more than enough already.

If someone wants to pay crazy amount of money for a piece of cardboard, it's their choice. But I dislike this kind of collecting (only for the monetary value, without any intention of ever actually playing with it) so much.

Seems pretty cool.

I'd love it if Nintendo themselves used techniques like recompilation to port their library to modern consoles. Obviously not feasible for a large library such as games in their NSO service, but certainly possible for individual games.

@IceClimbersMain I think Final Fantasy VII Remake is closest to a reboot since it changed the story. It doesn't make sense to call it a sequel since it's not a continuation to the original game.

@C_Yo64 There is no "actual definition". It's completely arbitrary and subjective. Still interesting to talk about, though.

I think The Wind Waker HD, Ocarina of Time 3D, Link's Awakening, Metroid Prime Remastered and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door are all remasters. Yes, Metroid, Paper Mario and Link's Awakening got massive facelifts, but the core games under the surface are the same. It doesn't matter if the game engine is different and if there are some quality of life changes. If it's fundamentally the same experience, it's a remaster to me.

How is it a successor to Pac-Man 99 when it originally released before Pac-Man 99? If anything, Pac-Man 99 was a successor to Mega Tunnel Battle.

@harrystein Those kind of secrets make it a 11/10 for me.

@Thief Oh, I don't like Dunkey's videos either, but he's only publishing this, not developing it. This game is truely something special. Played it for around three hours today, and the game has been fantastic (played the Steam version though). Strong atmosphere, great puzzles, secrets everywhere. Such a good game.

No thanks, Joy-Con are not particularly comfortable to hold. Not to mention quality issues and bad connection when using wirelessly.

@rjejr I really enjoy Ratchet & Clank games, but the movie? Nah, that was pretty bad. Mario movie was not perfect, but I actually enjoyed watching it.

@Picola-Wicola What are you talking about? Do you think Super Mario 64 is a 2D game?

@Mgalens As far as I know, the controller polling rate doesn't need to match the screen refresh rate. They could keep the controls exactly like the original but only refresh the screen every other frame compared to the original.

I definitely appreciate having the option to use physical cartridges, sometimes you can find games cheaper that way. But then again, I really don't mind Steam Deck being digital-only, so I don't think it would matter all that much to me in the end if Switch 2 was digital only.

This is ridiculous. Balatro isn't gambling. It's closer to Slay the Spire than actual poker anyway, considering all the deck building, boss blinds and special cards.

@nocdaes Well, they did make NES Remix and also 3D Classic versions of some NES games, so that's something at least.

Played these on Evercade. Micro Mages is super fun, but I enjoyed Böbl and Spacegulls even more.

Balatro is very, very good. Incredibly addictive too.

@Greatluigi You do realise that 0.1% of their funds is still 11.4 million dollars?

Why are people here so hostile against DF and this particular video? It was a part of their podcast where they're talking about everything gaming related and having a good time. Not an analysis or pretending it's actual news instead of a rumour, just speculating for the entertainment about what it would mean if it is indeed 8" display.

It's a good time to be playing fighting games. Both Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 are great!

@Euler Better to keep the momentum going by releasing a new system rather than to let the sales die completely, in my opinion.

Sure, Switch sales are still strong, but that will not necessarily last for long. Especially since there are now other portable systems that outperform Switch, such as Steam Deck, multiple Windows handhelds, or even iPhone. Okay, fair enough, they're more expensive and I wouldn't personally want to play games on an iPhone, but Switch is losing its biggest strength and gimmick that differentiates it from its competition. It's no longer the only handheld device that can play console quality games.

I think Switch has reached the point in its life cycle where I don't feel excitement over the possibilities that the system can offer. I only see compromises. Very rarely we get a game like Metroid Prime Remastered which impresses both in terms of gameplay and technology. Even the "impossible ports" like Hogwarts Legacy or Doom Eternal are so much worse than on the other platforms that I don't even consider getting them on Switch. So for me, Switch is only for indies and Nintendo's own first party games.

@Euler Price drop isn't really necessary when the system is selling well. Besides, Switch Lite is much cheaper than the regular Switch or Switch OLED.

It would be extremely disappointing if we had to wait until 2027 for the next Nintendo. I feel like the system has been showing its age for a good while now. Sure, Nintendo's own games look good (although even Tears of the Kingdom with its lovely art style suffered greatly from bad image quality). Third party support on the other hand is not only limited, but what we get is often sub-par.

I think Ocarina of Time 3D is a remaster, but a damn good one (just like Metroid Prime Remastered). But when talking about proper remakes, you can't beat Metroid Zero Mission.

@ZombAid82 Fair enough. I think the biggest strength of the Switch is the flexibility. You can play it as a handheld, you can play it on TV, you can play it on table. Switch Lite is a massive compromise in that sense. While it's definitely intended as a handheld system only, it doesn't change the fact that some people would appreciate the dockability and a kickstand if they were a thing on Lite.

@ZombAid82 I often play Switch games in tabletop mode with a controller. It's a nice option to have.

Pretty cool, but the Switch OLED is still going to have a bunch of advantages. Dock is one thing, but the kickstand is another. Kind of a shame they didn't put any kind of kickstand to the Lite.

@fenlix It's free on Itch and doesn't require an account to download, so not a big deal in my opinion. Releasing a game on Steam costs money, but not on Itch.

@GameOtaku Yeah. I'd prefer Virtual Console style separate purchases as well, but I don't really mind the subscription service either. Relatively inexpensive in my opinion, and my Switch is almost always connected to the internet as well. But I can definitely understand that it's not for everyone.

@GameOtaku You don't need internet connection all the time when playing these games. You just need to be online every seven days.

@Spider-Kev I don't know, I find these news about "Switch 2" kind of interesting, even if most of them are nonsense. Still, it's exciting to speculate.

Glad to hear the Switch version is good, but I'll be playing this on PS5 to get that 120hz (or close to it, anyway).

I want 256GB or more, I think 128GB is reasonable but I expect it to be 64GB because of, well, Nintendo being Nintendo sometimes.

To be fair, Unity had gotten too big for its own good. Sad to see all of the people getting fired, though.

They already released Totes the Goat, which is also a Qbert clone. Now selling this, very similar game for 10 bucks while not having delivered Hatch Tales yet (not to mention Treasurenauts which I'm pretty sure has been cancelled)... Yeah, I'm not biting.

I know the feeling. For me it was a PS1 platformer called 40 winks. Couldn't find anything about it until it released on Evercade as a part of the Piko Interactive Collection 3.

@LikeWhoa SNES had at least 5 hardware revisions, not counting New-Style SNES/Super Famicom Jr. The thing is, console hardware gets minor revisions all the time, they're just not advertised much. These revisions can bring down the production cost (one of the main reasons to do them, I believe) but also fix some other issues.

@Bwight33 What's the point of a release like this if no one knows about it? Sure, the coverage alerts Nintendo, but it also brings other, more positive attention to the project.

Anyway, I feel like this project should've used a similar release model as the PC version of Super Mario 64, so that it would've required the original game and would've taken all of the sprite data, music etc directly from the ROM.

Okay, that final quote made me chuckle a little bit.

@Altaria_97 Huh, weird. At least here in Europe there's both 1080p and 4K for landscape, and a bunch of different resolutions/aspect ratios for portrait.

@Altaria_97 They do though, there is a 3840x2160 version of the artwork available.

These games have a ridiculous amount of content thanks to all of the free add-ons. Super fun games and solid ports too, especially Quake.

Well, she's already playable in Hyrule Warriors, Smash and I think Cadence of Hyrule as well. So wouldn't be that surprising to be honest.

@carlos82 Yeah, both Asylum and City seem to be based on PS3/Xbox 360 versions. That is great news, since the lighting in PS4/Xbox One version is considerably worse than the original. Not sure about textures etc.
