The sad part is that the bunnies actually look better in this case. It's genuinely shocking just how poorly drawn those poor ladies are.

@SwitchForce
Holy crap man, at no point does he even insinuate any of the things you're accusing him of. Take a step back and actually pay attention to what he is saying. If anything, he's saying the opposite of what you're accusing him of.

I'm playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition on my Series X. Holds up shockingly well at 4K 120fps and super fast loading times.

Phantasy Star IV should have been in the top 3. That game is hella good.

I actually tried this once. Do not recommend. XD

Phantasy Star IV is easily the best game on the list so far. Don't sleep on that game if you haven't played it yet. One of the best RPGs of the 16bit era. It's up there with the likes of Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger.

Everyone is here.

@Franklin These are Genesis games. Not Dreamcast games.

It's legit absurd that they're asking for more than double the price for it.

@Zuljaras A self fulling prophecy!?

The reviews have been so mixed on this one. I was really looking forward to it, but I'm just not sure still if I want to give it a go.

@Ocaz Your stats increase the odds of certain types of actions/decisions.

@imgrowinglegs For me it was selecting things in the environment only worked half the time. It was common to have to press the confirm button 2 or 3 times before it actually worked (they have since fixed that in patch updates).

The other issue was that there was an incredibly easy to encounter soft lock within the first 30 minutes of the game. I hadn't saved yet, and I had to start a completely new game again because of it. It was where you talk to that girl in your apartment building. After she left and went into her own apartment, her dialog prompt would show up again even though she wasn't there anymore. Selecting it would start the sequence with her again, but the game would soft lock part way through it.

@Ocaz It's more like Monkey Island than Fallout. It's basically a point and click adventure that uses dice rolls to determine the outcomes of your actions/decisions.

Interesting that it seems...good on Switch? The PS5 version was an epic train wreck when it launched. One of the most broken games I've ever played.

Metroid Dread isn't a good enough name for this game. It should have been called Metroid HYPE!!

-ahem- Lame jokes aside, I'm really am hyped for the game. My favorite gaming franchise is finally getting the sequel to the mainline story I've been waiting almost two decades for!

Hard disagree. Fusion is fantastic, but it's no Super or Zero Mission.

Every person who posts in the comments here is secretly going to buy the game. Including the person right above, right below, and you who are reading this comment! @_@

Really worried about another reimagining of Castlevania. I did like the Lords of Shadow games, but I also really want that 1999 game!

@Themagusx1 Nice "I know you are but what am I!!?" comeback. XD

Grow up edge lord.

@Themagusx1 Nah, Vampire Killer is awful.

But continue to be the edge lord you seem to think you are by making baseless assumptions about people you don't know.

@Themagusx1 Vampire Killer wasn't a port of the original Castlevania. It was developed at the same time and is a completely different game.

Yeah, Aria really carries this collection. It's a legit masterpiece.

HoD is good, but not great. CotM is below average. And Dracula X is decent, but not nearly as good as the original Rondo.

Wow, that's disappointing. I have such fond memories of the first two games on the GCN. I was really looking forward to this! Now I may have to wait for a sale.

A shame that they likely won't retain the legendary dub for the game. Absolutely incredible meme worthy stuff in the PS2 original.

I absolutely loved this game back in the day. I got it day one, and played the heck out of it. It's a bit of a shame that it doesn't hold up super well today because it only runs at 20fps, but it's still a fun ride to bust out every now and then.

That said, I feel that it must be said that Wave Race Blue Storm on the Gamecube is soooo much better. That game is a masterpiece.

The frame pacing for the horizontal scrolling in the action levels is so bad. It bothered me immediately upon playing it.

I also strongly recommend that everyone turn off the environmental effects option, because the frame rate is abysmal with it turned on.

A shame that the visuals are so bad as well. The first level in particular reaches insane levels of ugliness. Thankfully later levels come out looking better.

Luna Nights is so good on the Switch (their previous game), so I'm really looking forward to this. A real shame Nintendo Life never bothered to review Luna Nights for some reason (very odd considering how good it is).

Tales of Arise and Phantasy Star IV. Both are absolutely fantastic!

If it's another 30fps Kirby game like Star Allies, then I'm going to pass this time.

Mutton chop girl looks so much better in the game than she does in that promo art. What were they thinking?

Love the in-game art style of this game. A shame the promotional art looks so odd. Like why does the girl have mutton chops?

I'm having a Blast with the Raw Thrills this game provides!

In all seriousness, the game is really good so far. Probably the most fun I've had with an arcade racer since Burnout Revenge on the Xbox 360.

I really like this game on the casual level, but it's my least favorite Cave shmup regarding trying to master it for high scores. Its scoring system feels insanely convoluted.

@Quarth Do you have a source for that? I haven't heard anything about it.

Is this not going to have english voice acting? Seems odd considering the remaster of Nocturn had all new voice acting added to it with an english dub. And if they really want the mainline series to take off the way Persona has, they need to treat it with the same kind of budget.

@anoyonmus Digital Foundry just showed that playing it on PS5 doesn't have any performance issues. Only on PS4 and PS4 Pro.

It does have some minor glitches, but no frame rate issues.

Really looking forward to this one!

Mega Man 2's box art is nearly just as bad, but it rarely ever gets talked about. Yes, the artwork is noticeably better drawn, but the concept is still the same. Old guy wearing tights and holding a gun.

@anoyonmus Even when running on PS5?

@Specter_of-the_OLED That's the first I've heard of them actually changing the game speed (which is different from changing the frame rate). Can you point to a review or source that confirms that they didn't adjust the frame rate correctly?

I see Solid Snake finally returns in UnMetal!

I'm kidding of course, but man, they really are leaning in hard on that parody.

The Switch version is a hard pass for me considering 30fps was specifically the reason why I hated the Wii version. I'll definitely get it on my PS5 though.

@Ralizah The PS5 version ran smoothly. It was just riddled with bugs. The performance itself was fine. There's no chance the Switch version will run as smoothly as the PS5 version did at launch. Unless the Switch version runs at native 4K 60fps. So yeah, no chance.

Regardless, the PS5 version was insanely busted. Literally unplayable at launch without pulling your hair out due to its bugs and UI problems.

Hopefully they iron out the game before launch this time. The PS5 version was stupid broken when it launched. Literally the most technically broken game I think I've ever played. Even hitting a soft lock within 30 minutes of starting it, and having to start over from scratch.

Nobody is surprised by this. If you're going to do something like this, you need to do it in complete secrecy until it's finished. The moment you show your work before it's done, it's basically a death sentence for the project.

No amount of changes to the lighting is going to fix the terrible looking character models outside of battle. They basically tried way too hard to mimic the look of the pixel art in 3D, which just doesn't work at all. What looks great as pixel art, doesn't always translate directly into 3D.

The streak will end for sure once the new Tales of Arise game releases.

A shame that this review dropped after the introductory sale has already ended. I specifically didn't give this game a try because I couldn't find a single review for it anywhere on the net. Guess I just have to wait for the next sale.

Now give me Vyse from Skies of Arcadia!
