@Darthmoogle Yakuza 0 is awesome!

I can't believe people paid extra just to have the game a few days early...

Appreciate the article pointing out this is on Steam. I'm downloading the free demo right now!

@rjejr You can get it on Steam, which is what I'm planning on doing.

@Erigen lol, I tried playing Yakuza with the English voices and... I just couldn't take it. It is much better with the Japanese voice acting (definitely need the English subtitles!).

P.S. I also should have mentioned, for anybody wanting to try Yakuza, but don't know where to start --> Yakuza 0 would most likely be the best game to play first!

Looks just like King's Field for the PS1!

I loved that game, but I recently tried playing it again, and it was really hard to get back in to. Let's just say that games (and game design) have come a long, long way over the last 30 years.

EDIT: And it is on Steam...I am very tempted...

It's playing right now! On my genuine old-time Gamecube!

@IceClimbersMain Heck, most of these games are $2.49 right now on GOG, and you completely own the game, DRM-free, and can install it on any computer you own!

I still play the 3ds version! The game is adorable, I'll get it eventually...

Just ran this in an emulator, what an amazing piece of software!

Man, I still remember the sheer joy of getting my Gamecube on release day, and then firing up Rogue Squadron II...what a masterpiece!

I dug up my old Fantasy Life for 3DS and I've been playing it on an emulator. Looks great on a big screen TV! I adore that game, but I'll probably wait to see how it runs on the Switch 2, and then decide between that and Steam.

"I don't think they ever really liked DK 64 that much. That's a rumour we got back through the cycle of whispers from Nintendo when we were at Rare. I don't know if that's true or not."

Well, they also didn't like Devil's Third, so you all are in good company.

Did you just hear that sound? THAT was the sound of Nintendo breaking ground on a bunch of new Amiibo manufacturing plants in the USA!

...yeah, I didn't hear anything either, LOL

@Anachronism Sadly, that is the way Bethesda games are. You really have to download a bunch of mods to get better graphics and gameplay. But when you do, the game is really fantastic.

@Anti-Matter I'm with you, but instead of "PS5" I get indie games on Steam or GOG when I can.

I play at home exclusively, so why settle for 30fps on Switch when I can get 60fps on my PC?

will they remaster the hysterically ugly NPC's and character models?

@Dunkin wash your mouth out with soap! The Lynx was a really nice design, and was "ambidextrous" in that lefties could just flip it around.

The Steam Deck just looks like an ugly cement block.

@geshem as you saw, he keeps moving the goalposts! LOL

@timp29 The story was that they had to rush out Wind Waker, and that a number of planned dungeons had to be axed.

The cut dungeons were then used in Twilight Princess! So yes, I also feel a bit disappointed with Wind Waker...as great as it is, it could have been better!

LOL, I prefer "vanilla" BOTW, but, talk about spending money only to get nickeled & dimed!

So much winning!

Starting playing this again, and this time I'm gonna finish it!

The gameplay is top-notch, and the graphics are not that bad, surprisingly! What a classic game! And the Wii U enhancements make it even better!

@cra1g0s I recently discovered the Citra and Lime3DS emulators...with these I can put my 3DS library up on a TV to play (while using the touchscreen of a handheld Android or Steam Deck clone). Man, so many of those games are amazing on the big screen...

Coupled with playing my WiiU games on Cemu on a PC, I am getting a bunch of play time with my old libraries.

Win11 is such an awful OS to have on a handheld. SteamOS is just so incredible...

Very cute! And a great April Fool's prank, to boot!

It looked so much like AC at first, I didn't recognize the Fantasy Life elements until mid-way. I loved Fantasy Life on the 3DS, I'm kind of on the fence about buying this, as I don't have the time to sink into it.

@Poco_Lypso Story of Remakes ... Coming Soon!

I started a play through on Cemu before the re-master was announced. It is an amazing game in many respects...I love the scenery and the exploration, but I'm just not a fan of the mixing and matching all the different weapons and skell parts.

It does have a great story along with the scenery...in any event, I would think there could be a wide range of scores, based on how into the game the different reviewers are.

I wasn't 100% happy with the original faces in XCX, but the new ones are way worse!

> "Gunzilla is the developer behind the upcoming **NFT** battle royale 'Off The Grid' "

TIL that NFT's are still a thing.

Why no GBA release?

I'm assuming this is still running at 30fps? I was hoping for 60fps, I'm running XCX on Cemu right now at 1080p at 60fps, and the game just pops, it is so beautiful.

@Hapless IKR?

I was expecting to see Nintendo v. Amazon, but no, somehow Amazon is portraying themselves as a victim? How much of your ill-gotten gains have you given back to Nintendo, as restitution?

I have been playing 3DS games on my handheld PC via Lime3DS...I have the main screen up on my 43" TV and the bottom screen on my touch screen on my device (a Loki Max, similar to a Steam Deck).

It really rocks playing Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Kid Icarus Uprising on a TV screen...not sure I would pay this amount and have to fiddle around, but some of these older games absolutely deserve to have remakes, c'mon Nintendo!

@Jack_Goetz Came here to ask that exact question. Besides Itagaki, who from the original Team Ninja is still there?

Tecmo also seems to have a "scorched earth" policy towards mentioning Itagaki or his contributions.

It's like Ebeneezer Scrooge has turned over a new leaf!

Huzzah!

Gee...free on Steam. Guess where I'll be playing it!

Large Company --> we could make ***** ton of money if we could get a bunch of data, but it would cost us money to get the data and input it.

Also Large Company --> I know! we can make a "game" and have willing dupes do all the work for us to free, so we can turn around and make ***** ton of money.

So, 20 years since the best meme...sigh...

I still have my OG DS!

@Lofoten another reason I've seen --> you can play games at 60fps.

I'm using Cemu to emulate my Wii U games, and man, the old games look great!

@S83 Not as bad as me waiting for my Goodboy Galaxy physical release!

I'm looking forward to the eventual "Pong REMASTERED" titles as we all wait for the Switch 2 to (finally) be released.

Got a great deal on Echoes from CostCo, of all places. That is probably where I'll buy my Switch 2 as well, I'm sick and tired of Bezos & Amazon.

It's very hard for me to get excited about "new" games that I've been emulating for years.

I would bemoan the lack of Jaguar and Lynx games, but I'm sure Atari will release them on a separate dlc for extra money. Thank god for BigPEmu!

@DudeshootMankill I have no problem with the gyro controls. It isn't on by default, so you have to go into the settings.

Lovin' the game so far. I normally avoid FPS shooters on consoles, but with the gyroscope aiming I had to try this. Definitely need to monkey around in the option settings to find the best "feel."

@Smackosynthesis On the PC side, the consensus was that Call of Pripyat was the best. Shadow of Chornobyl isn't bad, and in some ways serves as a good intro to the series. This review was pretty spot on, if lacking in extra description.

@Bizzyb I never thought of it as a spoiler, but just recently I resolved to finish "A Link Between Worlds" (finally!)...liked the music so much I downloaded it, and started listening to it.

But then I realized I didn't want to hear the boss music until I had actually faced them in battle (let alone see the titles, lol).

So...I guess I like Nintendo being considerate and thinking of this.

Well, obviously they are holding back on the Lynx and Jaguar games because they want to charge people another $50 for another expansion pack or game.

Honestly, I've been emulating the games I want for quite a while now, and I'm not giving in to Atari double-dipping on me.
