I find Salamander 3's level design highly lack-luster.

"sticking on Street Fighter 2 to see how many hadouken fails I get"

This is not a good test of the d-pad. Lots of d-pads will miss downward motions when rotating from forward to back and skip from down forward to down back. There are some kicking techniques with Ken in Street Fighter 6 that work much better regarding d-pad accuracy.

Metal Slug: Contra.

I am absolutely sick of every person who requires a timeline for all of their games.

Metroid might be the only one to sort of have a timeline... but the rest of the games are just an new avenue to have fun.

@Rooty That was my major complaint with Dread is the completely nonsense spread with no thought to quick travel later.

The game is fun but the map is clunky and difficult to use.

@Whirlwound NFTs?

I mean, in the free answer for the developers at the end I told them I'll never buy a Game Key Card and won't buy this game.

It's a game all about nostalgia. September 29th would be smart marketing for another "Mortal Monday."

Least beneficial to the developer...

"...retro titles like Streets of Rage 2 and Contra."

Test it with a fighting game or don't bother.

Forcing the game key card. You made up my mind then... not buying it.

R-Type Final 2 is no longer a 30FPS sluggish mess.

I'm not interested in this game at all but I bought the S2 version simply because they put the game on the cartridge.

I would have given it a 4.

If Nintendo were smart they'd have a team working purely on engines so the rest of the teams can focus on completing games instead. They seem to be all in on openworld EVERYTHING so it would make sense to do this.

@Stwert They're not usually "pushing" hardware. They're lazy and they need overpowered hardware to work around their in-efficient code. Same on PC. There has been lots of analysis done the past 10-15 years on how games are not looking better, and are often times looking worse, despite huge leaps in computation power.

When I was looking for new cases for my Switch 2 I saw theirs and where the zipper was and knew instantly it was going to damage my system.

I bought a screen protector off of Amazon a week before the release.

I'll have to give this a go. Always reward good Dev practices.

I don't recall these games being any good at all.

@Scoopz Really, because it looks like modern day London.

The classic looks better than the enhanced.

They must have taken a look at the Capcom collections and decided they could do even better. This is a fantastic idea.

@WheresWaveRace
Blue Storm 4K Remake+

Getting pelted MORE does not sound like a good time at all.

@NeonPizza I want to feel it for myself in Marvel Versus Capcom, et al.

I just want to see if the D-Pad is better.

I'm sure it's a fantastic pack-in.

I don't even want Rune Factory but because Marvelous are putting full games on the carts I bought it anyway.

@Leu10antFalcon Your initial comment was after getting a Switch 2 and a memory card you would get the game. You don't need a memory card for a 3 gig game.

@Truegamer79 Because the redone engine completely broke the cell shaded look.

@Leu10antFalcon The system has internal memory too.

This game would be fun but the frame rate is awful. Making shots sucks because of how oddly bad it runs.

@Bigmanfan I'd love to talk about the game but I can't buy it because it's not on the cart.

@Leu10antFalcon Why would you need to get a Memory card? It's only 3 Gig anyway.

So it's up to Sony to release a Hybrid and then pretend like they invented the idea...

SC2 really is peak.

The game looks like fun but while you could use a sword Shinobi was never a hack n slash. It was akin to a shooter because your primary weapon was shuriken from a distance.

I don't even care about this game but the Seinfeld reference got me.

@DonkeyKongBigBoy I'd rather a full remake or a new entry.

@Daniel36 I did this entirely on my own at my house for myself. It was just me listening to how I felt and pushing the music to match where I needed to go. If things were too energetic or tiring I'd pull the tempo/style back to something more mid tempo. If I felt like things were getting a little tiring I'd switch to something with little to no beat as a break. If I was feeling pretty good about things I'd push the tempo/mood up to something faster and happier.

I don't think trying to play for a crowd is a good way to learn to manage yourself internally, there would be too many external factors and a lot of additional pressure. You're not playing for you anymore. There's a reason why a lot of professional DJ's become addicts of some variety.

@Sindayl Initial reports (from actual fighting game fans) have pegged SF6 as having better input latency than the XBox and PS, only being edged out by the PC. I realize it's two different companies doing development but that bodes well for the Switch 2 version doing better in that category.

Betcha it won't be on a cart...

@Daniel36 There really wasn't much to it. I tend to stick to genre's/styles that lend themselves to peaks and valleys (prog/deep/melodic house 120-130 bpm-ish.) And then just picturing maintaining a steady even rhythm and when you might want to get the crowd really amped up and when you might need to back off and give them a rest based on how I was feeling at the time. I have no evidence to backup my result but I think forcing myself to picture and then use music to regulate those different moods helped my body to reset itself because I don't have those crazy swings like I used to anymore.

Semi-related. I used to be a Manic Depressive until I took up DJ'ing.

This would be so awesome to buy if it were actually on a cartridge...

I pre-ordered it simply because of this mentality and I don't even care about the game.

@vincentgoodwin
So?

Nobody buy them.

I want a proper follow up to Wave Race Blue Storm.

@datamonkey That's basically the reason why I'm buying it.
