Port: Very few changes beyond bug fixes. Mostly between concurrent platforms. E.g. Witcher 3, Divinity, Undertale.
Remaster: Uses the original code and assets in an enhanced form. E.G. Baldur’s Gate, KOTOR, Mario 3D land.
Remake: Brand new code. Doesn’t matter what was added or changed as long as it runs/looks better. E.G. Kirby Return to Dreamland, Crisis Core, Metroid Prime.
Failure: Game is worse than original. E.G. TTYD, Metal Gear Solid 2, Chrono Cross.
Yesterday we learned that the player experience was so important to Nintendo they cut business deals to improve it. 20 years later Nintendo is now in the bandwagon if violating their own source material to push stuff to kids.
Making it not free is weird but otherwise IMO is better than 99 in every way. I know very contrarian let me explain.
1. I’ve had 0 technical issues outside the tiniest lag about one per game. Every Nintendo made game is worse and I’ve never had the server boot me in Pac-Man.
2. At least you can play the game when lobbies are sparse since it’s more about independent skill instead of not getting randomly bullied by 98 randos.
3. In 99 every game was the same and just didn’t make as much sense as it did for Tetris. In Champ Chomp some games getting multiple players on the same board is fun and chaotic. Admittedly this is down to personal preference.
4. 99 was ugly.
Overall my personal score would be 7/10.
Edit: final point you say stuff happens offscreen and wins are arbitrary, but that was so much worse in 99.
Ending support in the most successful social media?! can you imagine if they announced this before the successor announcement? People would have gone nuts with the speculation.
Does rereleasing it count towards how much it made at the box office? Like if it overcame frozen 2 if you added the amount it’ll make from this would that make it the highest grossing animated film (2nd if you count lion king which shouldn’t count due to being touted as live action)
With all these lies floating around about the Switch 2 being delayed. I think. Intends did a good job reminding people that the current model is doing just fine.
I haven’t been researching for very long but the only official information we have is that the console will release in 2026. People said that is unlikely but it’s really the only thing we have to go on. Maybe Nintendo meant 2025?

This isn’t accurate to the original Japanese this is just another Hundred Heroes all over again.

I was until it was exposed they lied about making the translation faithful.

Re: The Stanley Parable Is Finally Getting A Physical Release On Switch
Who wants to speed run “Super go outside” now that would be a category.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
Breath of the wild was more focused and actually made you use the environment to your advantage.
Tears lets you skip too much and to compensate threw in several completely worthless areas.
