19/20 all too easy. Just messed up on Pilot Wings.

I just downloaded this game on switch 1 but I'm experiencing an issue. It works in handheld mode, but if I try to play on my tv with a pro controller, the button inputs don't register. I can't even use the home button to return to the menu screen. Anyone else experiencing this issue? It's definitely not my controller.

I didn't mind playing as V. His stages add some variety to the action, and surfing around on his little shadow cloud is undeniably fun.

Why do I hear the Voyager theme playing in my head?

Hah, replaying it right now.

Playing Mario kart 64 in my parent's basement with my buddy and my younger sister, whom we begrudgingly let join us. We played so much we all became quite adept at the game, which resulted in some seriously stiff competition and legendary races.

Wario was always my main, but at some point down the line my sister stole him from me. So even when we get together to play the modern iterations of MK as adults, my sis insists on being Wario no exceptions. Eh, I've settled for dry bowser.

It worked in 7 and 8, but I generally prefer to play RE in 3rd person.

The original was good fun. Been meaning to check out this sequel when I get the opportunity.

Still have my Wii copy. Gorgeous game, with excellent gameplay to boot!

Looks pretty cool, although it'd be nice if they showed some actual gameplay, even if it was just kokiri forest.

I'm curious if this is just going to be a 1:1 remake with a fresh coat of paint, or if they're actually going to enhance/change things. A more expansive hyrule field with more to explore would be awesome.

Ngl, I would've preferred some really nice pixel art, a la Blasphemous, but the look they went with is really slick. Kinda reminds me of that Strider Metroidvania which was a great game.

@Jireland92 I would argue that horror themes have always been part of Star Trek's dna. The very first episode to aire of the original series, 'The man trap' involved a space vampire that fed on salt! And there are plenty of other examples throughout the other shows. One of my favs being the tng episode with the inter-dimensional aliens that kidnap crew members in their sleep to experiment on them.

@WaveBoy Agreed, the first half of CV is way better than the latter. I love the section with the zombie doctor, and the secret torture dungeon underneath his clinic. This is the kind of stuff I'm looking forward to seeing adapted in the remake.

Yeah the cutscenes are cool, and the character models looked amazing for the time, but I think I still prefer the pre rendered backgrounds from the older games. It just allowed for more gritty details befitting the horror genre.

And I honestly kind of love the cornball dialogue in this game, adds to the charm. Steve's line delivery after he saves Claire always cracks me up, "your knight in shining armour is here!" I feel he must've been modeled after late 90s Leonardo decaprio.

Nice, looking forward to seeing how they re-imagine this one, it has a ton of potential to be creepy as hell.

@rvcolem1 it's definitely the toughest of the classic style REs I'd say.

Excellent Megaman tribute that I've played through a couple times. Glad it's getting a sequel.

And it was all yellow..

There's definitely fun to be had in this game, and it has that classic Rareware kinda spooky atmosphere, but I always found it to be a bit of a slog overall. Doesn't really hold a candle to the snes DKC trilogy.

That being said, I still have a save state on my wiiu in the factory level where you can play the Donkey Kong arcade game. It's oddly my favourite way to play the original DK.

Certainly has the potential to be incredible. Presently rereading Fellowship, I'm at the part where they journey through Moria. A game that could recreate the scope and grandeur of that part of the story would be so freakin cool.

Would love to see Blade added, those first two movies are among my fav comic book flicks.

I also echo the sentiment that additional levels would be appreciated.

As long as Jared Leto isn't playing Ganondorf we're golden.

Making hard drugs look like candy is not only dumb but frankly, evil.

@CallieShiver20 yeah I hear ya. I too live in a big city, and have a bit of a love/hate with it. On the one hand anything I could possibly need is a short bike ride away. Art, culture, food, it's all there. But there's also the crowds and the aforementioned cost of living. There's a good chance I'll end up in the countryside one day, but I could never leave Canada personally, I just have too much of a connection to it, in spite of it's flaws. In any case best of luck, hope things work out for you.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Haven't played this since it first released. Don't think it quite reaches the same heights as Symphony of the Night, but it is a solid metroidvania.

Holy crap, didn't even realize how expensive Switch 2 already was in Canada. Price hike certainly doesn't entice me to get one.

I normally have no issue with remakes of old games I like. I eagerly purchased The Link's Awakening and Mario RPG remakes for instance. But in the case of Star Fox I really would've preferred something entirely new. SF64 is itself a remake of the snes original, then we had the 3ds remaster, and SF Zero which again was just a retelling of the first game.

So at this point it's like, okay time for something new guys. It's entirely possible to make something in the spirit of SF64, but be a brand new experience that builds upon the framework of what came before. I know everyone complains about the on foot missions, but I actually really enjoyed SF Assault. It wasn't a perfect game but it was moving the series forward. Fighting a giant monkey head does get old after awhile.

I love SF64, and this does look cool, but it's kind of funny they just can't seem to get away from remaking the first snes game over and over again. It's honestly a bit weird. Fox's war with Andross is truly eternal.

I'm kinda surprised he hasn't shown up already. It'd be cool if he was the main antagonist in a future movie, be a nice call back to his first appearance in Mario land 2: the 6 golden coins. But yeah, if Danny devito isn't already busy playing Tingle in Zelda, he'd be perfect for Wario.

Talk about completely opposite approaches. Not sure I really like either, NA is a bit too busy, whereas JP/EU is a bit too simplistic. It looks like packaging for a fried chicken fast food chain.

@WaveBoy lol, smell o vision indeed! Haha

They shot the second one in my city Toronto. Not a great movie, but it is fun picking out familiar landmarks. The scene where Nemesis kills a bunch of STARS members was shot at the Westwood theater. It's been long since demolished but I saw many a movie there as a kid. Also Umbrella HQ is our city hall haha.

"Fortune and glory kid, fortune and glory."

@WaveBoy The first Paul w.s. Anderson resident evil is definitely the best, although I'm not really a fan of those movies in general. That being said I love that Marilyn Manson track that plays over the opening sequence, absolutely sets the tone.

Hmmm, definitely seems to be a departure from the games, like if it wasn't called Resident Evil it could be any old zombie movie. I know this is just the teaser though, so it's too early to judge. Haven't seen Barbarian, but I really enjoyed Weapons, so I am optimistic.

This looks really cool just based on the screenshots. Too bad about the performance woes.

Link's a lefty! As a left handed person living in a right handed world, it's nice to see some representation in video games;)

I haven't even heard of this game before. I love a good character montage so Europe gets my vote.

Don't know much about this game, but I love hyper light drifter. One of my all time favorite games.

Played it once, and traded it in, which is something I rarely do. Just really disliked the controls and the fact it was another remake of the first game.

Oh this looks awesome, I may grab the ps4 version when it comes out, (don't have a switch 2).

Incidentally my friends took me to Dave and Busters for my b-day last week, I had never been. There was this Aliens arcade shooter there that was a total blast to play, literally I suppose.

Hmmm, I do like the visuals in this, and I love a good fantasy themed shooter. Now I wanna go play Lords of Thunder.

@Aphonic thank you! Yes, there were absolutely hardships, as you'd expect haha. But my experience on the show was overwhelmingly positive. Really a tight knit family, unlike any production I've worked on.

ROCKET LAWNCHAIR!!

Oh cool! I actually worked on all 6 seasons of the show. What a wild experience that was.

Don't remake the first game again please.

Do an original story but, retain the same arcadey style of Star Fox 64, branching paths, different vehicles, etc. But just give us more, and prettier visuals, naturally. Maybe an rpg style upgrade system? I dunno, just spit balling here.

There's no way it'll be better than the greatest SF movie, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.

In all seriousness, looks like it might be worth it for some dumb fun. Like the good kinda bad. Ken seems appropriately douchey, lol. Also, Zangief looks like he's cgi in the shot where he's pulling the tractor.

Not sure when I'll get the chance to play this, but it's nice to see Capcom still putting out original IP like this. Reminds me of the good old days of the Gamecube/PS2 era.

Honestly I love the NA cover. Reminds me of the kind of drawings I'd do in my high-school notebooks to get through a boring class.

Definitely stoked for this one. Hopefully it'll be out in time for spooky season!

I really like that funky cover art for Mendel Palace.
