As someone who grew up with the SNES I’d like to point out that Super Mario Kart was a stand out multiplayer game for the console, the battle mode was a wild concept and should have been mentioned in this review.
While i'm not a fan of the reworked sprites, interface, and even the new pixel font (I find it all looks a bit generic and low-budget), I'm excited to revisit 1, 4, and 6 with the updated scripts and music.
@ricklongo a lot of the gameplay is puzzle solving under the timed pressure of being on rails while trying to get a specific shot or open a branching path (kinda like Starfox 64 but way more interactions). I wish there was a demo for this one.
I think the character models look like hot garbage and the environments look ... ok, reminds me of the quality you’d expect from a story of seasons game not a triple A studio. I have nothing against chibi graphics btw. I just don’t find the proportions in this particular execution appealing at all.
The dungeons are bit shorter but there’s more meat in between each dungeon which made some people feel like the game was dragging compared to previous entries. I encourage people to go in with an open mind and judge the game for its own merits, and not what was established before. It’s my favourite Zelda game and an absolute gem!
My left Joy con and both my pro controllers drift, it’s super annoying. I literally have to blow into the joysticks like an old NES cartridge to get them to work temporarily lol
I would be so into this! Yeah it’s a rip off of Go, but it looks like they’re pushing the concept further with a story mode and other things. Can’t wait to learn more,
What’s with the low poly count in the background? Reminds me of an HD wii game like skyward sword. The art direction is also super disappointing with a weird mix of realism and cartoon, but doesn’t come across as stylized to me, like they couldn’t commit to a direction.
Huge fan of the art direction, the toy like aesthetic plays on the toy like feel of the gameboy. I’m surprised so many people are turned off by it. The proportions are spot on to the original, seems very logical to me.
@CodyDogg my number 7 is a benefit not an argument, as is everything in my original post. You’re taking my point about nothing being physical anymore out of context, I’m referring to media: movies, music, books, photo albums and so on. I also prefaced It all by stating I was a casual gamer which is why swapping games instantly is a benefit. I promise you that the 0.0000005 calories you burn from physically swapping cartridges (exagerating, obviously I don’t know exact numbers but people are taking things at face value) will NOT benefit anyone in the long term, incidental or not, why not toss out all remotes in your house if you are so concerned? This is what I was challenged on and hopefully you can see why I was annoyed.
This isn’t a revision, I’m guessing it’s a new product meant to live alongside the switch. A dedicated portable successor to the 3ds that plays switch games. I would love that.
@Shane76 Are you serious? You literally just implied it. Wow.

Re: Review: Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster - A Beautiful And Faithful Reimagining Of The Classics
@EvilSilentFrame I'd say to expect 25-30 hours for each, quicker if you use the EXP multiplier.

Re: Random: Filling New Pokémon Snap's Photodex Is One Thing, But Have You Completed It In Real Life?
Gotta be honest, I can’t even bring myself to complete the base game. Wish it was shorter like the original cause the game got old for me fast.

Re: Sinnoh Confirmed: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Officially Announced For Switch
The environments look great, but I just cant handle the character models, I’m out. 🤮
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually
The dungeons are bit shorter but there’s more meat in between each dungeon which made some people feel like the game was dragging compared to previous entries. I encourage people to go in with an open mind and judge the game for its own merits, and not what was established before. It’s my favourite Zelda game and an absolute gem!
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Hits Switch This July Alongside Themed Joy-Con
SS is amazing and I hope people give the game a chance, it’s one of my favourites. Otherwise, I thought the direct was ok, 6.5/10
Re: Soapbox: Grinding Is Poor Gameplay Design That Doesn’t Respect Your Time
I dunno, it depends how much is involved. Also, if you’re just smashing the A button without exploring battle strategies then you deserve to grind.

I really prefer this look over the cell shaded original. I don’t think it looks boring at all. Does that mean cell shading = interesting? I doubt it.
Re: This Is What Sonic The Hedgehog Probably Looks Like In His Upcoming Movie
Sonic looks ridiculous
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Revealed For Nintendo Switch, New Starters Shown
What’s with the low poly count in the background? Reminds me of an HD wii game like skyward sword. The art direction is also super disappointing with a weird mix of realism and cartoon, but doesn’t come across as stylized to me, like they couldn’t commit to a direction.
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Compares Original Link's Awakening To The Switch Version
I can’t stand them, they look completely bored and don’t even know what they’re talking about. How’d they even get this job?
