The PC Engine version of Valis IV was a far more complete package but in the early days of the SNES I remember enjoying Super Valis and some of its chill music tracks. I know everyone cries about these releases but I still think it’s a great service. I can’t find the time to play the ones that interest me!
Sorry I would have been down if it was a cart. I’m still pessimistic about the trailer, it doesn’t seem to show much of the open levels or effects and it’s literally dropping in one week. Definitely looking at impressions first.
It makes me wonder if Level 5 and Nintendo experienced a bit of a falling out. Yokai 3 being based on a more United States style town and being a limited initial release with no reprints reeks of a publisher fulfilling a contract and wanting to move on. The 3DS market was in decline at this time but there was little doubt additional runs of product could have sold out. Yokai’s ultimate failure in the US (game copies at $5 below, Dollar Tree flooded with merchandise) seemed to make Nintendo move toward brushing it off.
Like others said, it seems like Level 5 as company has struggled in the past few years to match the breakout titles they enjoyed through the late 2000s. They seem have hit the rut of stretching previous series out beyond being profitable. I was honestly shocked when Yo-Kai 3 got such a limited US release. I remember picking it up from Best Buy and the cashier stating he had been on the outlook for a copy for his son and they were nowhere to be found ( and seemingly did not get reprinted).
Normally I can take or leave people’s opinions on this stuff but. WOW. It’s Minecraft, one of the most loved things gaming has ever produced, hell its been top ten in Japan since it released on Switch. This is definitely a case of ignoring the grumbling segment and basking in the love its recieved.
Minecraft is literally a game of the decade. Seriously it auto filled as I type this. I get if it was a throw away like Fortenite or League of Legends. This is a title on the level of Mario or Tetris. I respect that it gets put along side as Pac Man and Sonic as contemporaries. You people are nuts not to understand it.
Great news, there’s a lot of potential for a great move set here. Also nice to see another non Japanese developed character. I keep hoping this gives Master Chief or Doom Slayer a chance.
The Switch has offered a bit of a renaissance for the shooter genre. I’ll admit though Death Smiles hit a wrong note with me as the characters seemed like sexually inappropriately depicted minors. I forgot Death Smiles 2 was 3D....that was not a great move.
I believe the developers didn’t say the Switch couldn’t handle the game, I believe they said they likely couldn’t hit the silky 60 FPS of the first Switch port.
Not going to lie I’m extremely pumped for this. I love shooters and this one heavily reminds me of the 16 and 32 bit era where art style and odd mechanics could flourish. Not hating on current shooters but many seem to boil down to 5 stage bullet hells with elaborate scoring systems or a outlet for anime cleavage. Can’t wait!
It’s surreal to see this game finally get a English release, was bummed when it originally failed to. Their Dreamcast title Lack of Love is the same kind of “experience”, very import friendly title.
Got one of these for $50 at Target when they got blown out. It is a cool little curio but unfortunately the only comfortable position I can seem to play it in is flat on a bed. Sitting at a table with it is just a excuse for neck pain.
I’m down for this day one. I usually don’t mind dropping on a expensive lego set here and there if it seems like one that will hold its value and I see this being sought after it’s retired. Granted I will rage if they pop out a deluxe model next year for $400 with ROB and light gun.
I loved the Wii/DS era despite the consist noise of people crying about their power and gimmick potential. Iwata’s philosophy was a wonderful break from how hung up our industry has gotten on tech and less on unique ideas and gameplay options. He would have been proud of the Switch.
I do find it sad that the guys who ported Outer Worlds are working on a patch to squeeze better performance on PS4/Xbox One port and these guys are not even up to polishing PS2/Wii caliber graphics.
A HD port of G Darius is definitely welcome, little shocked they are not including multiple versions of Burst. Probably so they stretch this out even further.....
Seven games.....Madden 15-21 it is. Aside from Burnout Paradise and the no chance in hell Orange Box I can’t think of a EA game I’d buy. Henry Hatsworth HD maybe?

Re: Nintendo Has Nothing To Share About Metroid Prime 3, Bayonetta 3 And Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Right Now
That’s fine, the Switch has a robust library of good games. I’ll gladly let these developers take their time to make a quality product.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles

Re: Sephiroth From Final Fantasy VII Joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate This Month
Doom Marine or Master Chief , make it happen Nintendo.
Re: Review: DOOM Eternal - This 'Impossible' Port Is Nothing Short Of A Miracle
I would have been day one if it was on cart. Hopefully if they do a complete edition (when the DLC is done) we’ll get a physical copy at that point.

Re: Koei Tecmo's Buddy Mission: Bond Comes To Switch Next Year
It’s nice to see them putting out another original IP.
Re: Cult FMV Shooter Corpse Killer Is Shambling Towards Your Nintendo Switch
Keep it. The early 90’s FMV genre only has a few standouts and this isn’t one of them.
Re: The Switch Version Of The Outer Worlds Is Getting A Patch Next Week
Granted if they get it to run stable and improve textures, I might pick it up.
Re: The Switch Version Of The Outer Worlds Is Getting A Patch Next Week
So I’m seeing more foliage and they added the cloud system back in? It’s fairly minor jump as far as I can tell.

Re: 505 Shuts Down Indivisible Production After Lab Zero Closure
I preordered the Switch version from Target last year, not too they’ll make the cut for a “small” batch of cartridges.
Re: The Man Behind Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Is Working On A Follow-Up, But There's A Catch
Great game. One of my favorite on Wii.
Re: Yacht Club's 8-Bit Ninja Game Cyber Shadow Has Been Slightly Delayed
I laugh at this because of how long it along it was announced. Regardless just make it good.

Re: Horace, A Quirky, Nostalgic Robot Platformer, Comes To Switch Later This Month
The Switch Pro must be drawing closer if developers are outright mentioning it in PR.
Re: Round Up: Tokyo Game Show 2020 - Here Are The Nintendo Switch Highlights
I do hope R-Type turns out well on Switch and isn’t a sloppy port of the other two versions. Really looking forward to that one.
Re: M2 Is Bringing Aleste Collection To Nintendo Switch
Whoa, that’s some dedication to do a full new Game Gear game.
Re: Deathsmiles Collection Brings More Shoot 'Em Up Action To Switch In 2021
The Switch has offered a bit of a renaissance for the shooter genre. I’ll admit though Death Smiles hit a wrong note with me as the characters seemed like sexually inappropriately depicted minors. I forgot Death Smiles 2 was 3D....that was not a great move.
Re: Nintendo Applies For Pokémon HeartGold And SoulSilver Trademarks, But Don't Get Your Hopes Up
They should do a DS reprint what with the insane prices it fetches.
Re: Neo Geo Shmup Andro Dunos Is Getting A Switch-Based Sequel
The original was a decent cartoony shooter akin to Arrow Flash/Whip Rush. This is a nice (and way out of left field) surprise.
Re: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Launches On Switch Today
I believe the developers didn’t say the Switch couldn’t handle the game, I believe they said they likely couldn’t hit the silky 60 FPS of the first Switch port.
Re: M2 Is Bringing Aleste Collection To Nintendo Switch
DEAR GOD YES!!!!! Day one.
Re: Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game – Complete Edition Announced For Switch
Pretty sure there are plenty of companies clamoring to physically print this.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About 'Limited-Time' Games From Nintendo?
I’m more annoyed that 35 is limited. The concept sounds like something I’d come back to again and again.

Re: Take To The Streets Later This Month In Gunman Clive Creator's New Beat 'Em Up
Gravy city? Love the Gunman Clive art style translated to a brawler.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Wonder Boy - Asha In Monster World
The original had some excellent art, not trying to be ungrateful but it’s not a slam dunk update. Day one to show my support though.

Re: Pre-Orders Go Live For Moon, The '90s 'Anti-RPG' Launching In The West For The Very First Time
It’s surreal to see this game finally get a English release, was bummed when it originally failed to. Their Dreamcast title Lack of Love is the same kind of “experience”, very import friendly title.
Re: Ikaruga's Physical Release Will Launch This Year In The West, Next Month In Japan
Can I guess the US version won’t get the neat mini ship?
Re: 'Anti-RPG' PlayStation Title Moon Arrives On Switch eShop This August
Really happy to see after all these years that this is getting a English release. I was also quite fond of their Dreamcast title “Lack of Love”.
Re: Nintendo Provides Another Update About Its Development Schedule
There’s a decent amount of product hitting switch each month, I’m in no rush as long as developers polish their games. Glances at Deadly Premonition 2

Dear Nintendo, I’m sorry Sega schooled you with GX. QUIT YOUR CRYING AND MAKE A NEW ALREADY! Still ticked we never got a 3DS FZero.
