PLEASE READ THIS. I played this game on PC and it was my GOTY last year. This is an absolute diamond. No hand-holding, a true return to an era where devs expected you to be smart. Buy this game if you like the vibe. It really is thát good!
Overrated. I mean, it was fine but nowhere near Squaresoft's works. I played it, liked it but forgot it existed rather quickly. Whereas Zelda Alttp, Chrono trigger, SoM and FF3 are engraved in my soul.
I have both and the steam deck gets more playtime. Although playtime in this case also means tinkering a lot to get the best experience (especially when it comes to older games). Switch 2; still too early to cast a verdict but battery life and trash screen stand out as big negatives to me.
Every forgot but I am here to remind you that Konami doesn't care one iota about games or gamers. Boycott the living daylight out of this trash company.
@Scollurio thanks! One cab runs all the shmup games and my other runs (mostly capcom) fighters. Occasionally I plugin a Mister FPGA. Sucks if the switch 2 won't support 540p output!
@Gryzor edited my reponse a bit, had to open my cab since it had been a while! If you decide to go ahead and run into issues, send me a message. Taito egret? The holy unicorn of arcade cabs!!! Beautiful.
@Gryzor pretty simple really!
First set your tv output to 540p and change the color output (don't remember what it's called but you only have 2 or 3 options)
Second: Connect your hdmi out to a hdmi to VGA adapter WITH a 3.5mm output jack (important)- such an adapter splits the hdmi signal in video and audio. You then connect the audio jack on the switch to the arcade amp with a simple 3.5mm male, 3.5mm cable.
Third: connect the vga adapter part of the hdmi-VGA adapter to a VGA gender changer (male to female I believe) and connect your arcade monitor (male vga out) to the VGA gender changer.
All in all you only need two little, cheap adapters and a cable and presto!
Oyea for the controller I use a brooks fightboard. It is a plug and play solution to map arcade buttons to switch buttons. Works like a charm. This one was a bit more expensive but worth it.
What stuck out to me was the lack of a 540p output in tv mode. I run my switch into an arcade cabinet which uses an arcade CRT. Guess that won't work anymore with the switch 2!!!
Wow, this to me is kind of a deal breaker since I'm extremely big on physical only. I'll wait it out for a bit until things are clear before I buy an S2
TLN3 on the C64 was a showcase for gaming at the time. 3d isometric viewpoint, beautiful animation and overall one of the best games of 1991. However, these games haven't stood the test of time in several ways. Great to see them ported to the switch but personally - some things are better left in the past.
It's simple maths, really. Nintendo's IP's are incredibly strong and the whatever current hardware is out at the time, these brands endure - irrespective of the platform. Also, powerful handheld hardware (like the steam deck) is too expensive for a company like Nintendo - it's a bad business decision for them. They would have to compete with PS5, Xbox series x etc, because people will then expect the new nintendo console to match the power of these platforms and that's a bad place to be in. Also, what people forget is that there is no going back to lower spec hardware ever again after that - not where you want to be as Nintendo. Will the new hardware be a big step up from the switch? Absolutely. Will it be comparable to something like - say- the steam deck? Absolutely not. And that's ok because their IP's are and always have been what set Nintendo apart.
