@DjinnFighter - We already have that with The Lara Croft Collection.

This one is more "The Signs of Decline Collection."

@ottoecamn - I think one of the biggest flaws using Yasuke was the fact he is a actual figure in history.

AC has had an entire franchise setting the stage that assassins were always the background agents of history. We as those agents would be essentially forgotten. Being a historic character sort of break the idea Assassin's Creed sort of built with decades of lore building.

Then what proceeded actions after that shown it would have been better if Ubi kept to that original formula. So many tone deaf decisions on Ubisoft's part just made the criticism feel more justified. Which is a stark contrast to a lot of the other AC iterations, even including the more disliked releases like Odyssey.

I remember someone theorizing that was the CEO's intended goal a year or so back. He had some believable evidence to back that up at the tome, too.

Starting to suspect he may have been more right than I suspect.

Beem watching this one for a while on X. Super awesome.

With this, Episode 1 Racer, all three Turoks, Glover, Croc, Gex Collection, Tomb Raider Collection, all the old FF ports.

I feel like Switch is N64 reincarnated. And that's such a crazy feeling.

It needs 3 million in sales.

It's that good. Haven't had such an experience since Ogre Battle 64.

@shoeses - To be honest, pretty sure Hi-Rez does their crossovers specifically like this, honestly. As a huge Smite player (PC), they have had interviews where they talked about what theu like, and then mused about if they can do it.

Slipknot was definitely one of them.

@nessisonett - It wasn't a platform fighter, just a traditional fighter. Oddly enough, they did also make Fight of Animals and FoA:Arena, based on animal memes, the latter being that platform fighter.

And yes, they are all awful.

@McBurn - Honestly, I am with you here. Pre-orders used to be that it secures your copy when things were more physical. When it is digital, I also wait a bit. And if the itch outweighs the patience, I finally bite.

Last time that happened was Berserk Boy.

@Yuna-Suzuki - Welcome to competition, in all games, everywhere.

Utility will always outperform others by the nature of its mechanic. Whether it is a character in a fighting game to a gun in an FPS, to a class in an MMO. Every single word you said can be applied to the creator and their creation.

It's not new, the only way it changes is if everything is the same.

Why is it that every time I see something Smash related flood my X feed with no provocation, there is an article on Nintendo sites on it? And it's usually not connected to the topic.

My fed agebt sucks at his job.

Now, will EA grant me a physical copy?

Probably not, cause EA.

I always like MySims over the base franchise. Liked the solitary character control more.

Nothing against Sims, though. I still play 3 periodically when simply killing time.

@Vyacheslav333 - Not what I was insinuating, but you do you.

MK8D has a lot to offer, there is a reason it eclipses even new games on the same system nearly three times over.

@Vyacheslav333 - Let's be real, pretty certain many people would be okay if the best selling games on any systems are classic ports, compared to the majority of what's released today.

I have over 1800 games for Switch.

I AIN'T LEAVIN'!

I am more shocked Tantalus pulled this off moreso than the game itself maintaining steady framerate.

Add another to that pile, one of the indies I follow seems to be excited as well.

Have it physical, though the system for the first gane really reflects it was made with keyboard and mouse as the defacto control scheme. Complex as all get out.

Vambrace: Cold Soul had that forsight and made is far more accompanying for controllers.

@Not_Soos - My issue with third parties is how much more red tape each one comes with bringing them back with their kit. With first party characters, it's basically so much easier to expect them to return, even if they don't do so each new release.

I don't greatly oppose third parties, I myself have my own dream characters. You do, however, run into the risk of trusting compabies will stick around. For instance; If Capcom goes belly up tomorrow, highly likely getting Mega Man in again will be a greater chore than it is now. The more third parties enter, the chance of them never returning increases.

I am open to more stages unaccociated, as well. Little Nightmares has a few good ideas, I agree. Even Mappy Land if we want to be classic too. That being said, Nintendo also has many viable options too. RingFit and Labo would have a few good ideas too.

I do NOT agree with ridding spirits, it has fundamental more engagement than trophies. As much as I love collecting them, once you are done, there is no more collecting. Collecting more has no further rewards. Spirits had fights, so there is a variety of more experiences to be had by adding more. I have seen ideas to bolster more unique fights across the internet, too. Maybe add a scenario mode to allow you to make and share displays.

But I woukd be accepting of disposing World of Light for a more replayaple arcade mode. Even Subspace lacked replayability.

@Not_Soos - Part of me is banking on a premium version of Smash Ultimate. As it took Ultimate over 7 years of development to reach its completion. In order to have one ready early in the next generation, they would have had been developing the next one before Fighter Pass 2 was announced. And that ignores any conversations they still may need for agreements... Like Disney.

So I am betting on an Ultimate DX as it were. Rebooted visuals where needed, refreshed characters where expected, and a new mode or two. Ultimately the same however.

Oh yeah, it is that time again for Smash lists and requests.

Incoming 300+ poorly edited art into squares, go!

@russell-marlow - They put it in the game, not an actual message, so everyone is clear reading both our comments here.

That being said, we are not sure if they're just being cheeky. We have records of many companies denying requests about a game or release of something, and later still make it. Hell Nintendo of all people does this often when we are talking consoles. So it may be them trying to divert, but also not able to announce anything on a project they may be doing.

I mean, there is a reason Turok fans clamor for Rage Wars over MP in Turok 2. Many favor it as the defacto multiplayer experience.

It's why I bet on it, regardless if others feel different. But they can also go straight to Evolution and totally ruin all the goodwill they made. But no one is asking for that release.

@russell-marlow - Honestly, that wouldn't be that much a waste as they have done other multiplayer games in similar veins. Hell, many constantly suggest them skip over 3 for RW, wildly received better.

At this point, it is easy money.

That Turok is probably Rage Wars. The N64 ports have beem wildly successful and its the last one.

@OldGamer999 - I think they're looking for a PS6 link over a PS5 by this point. By the time the game gains momentum, and notoriety, Sony may be gearing up to push a new system with a fresh outlook in contrast to the struggles PS5 had.

If we are talking about kids "getting older" being part of that marketing scenario.

@SBandy1 - In all honesty; MK1 has been one across the board, Switch just had extra problems stacked on top.

Pretty certain the end of 3 implied a pretty solid end for Tavis to stop at.

However, this NMH, so I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the story get even more ridiculous and use that end as leverage to get him to return.

I immediately think of it being involved with Destroyman.

@LadyCharlie - Isn't that a little too hyperbolic, tho? I am aware you are attempting to be inciting emotions with that comment, but there are people who have this thought in ernest.

If a team genuinely wants to create a game that is a survival game with one actual character, then they would be essentially one option for the sake of representation; a Gay Trans Disabled Person of Color. If someone WANTS to make that specific person, by all means. But requiring the representation may just get some half-assed makeshift that everyone either forgets, or uses as a bludgeon as to why the industry is broken (in both "camps").

I think there is still more to people then some checkbox representation, a lot of which corporations leverage to invoke emotion to buy crappy products because they simply acknowledged you. I mean, I am legally blind in one eye, but the community believes that a pirate represents me when we are talking representations like this. That's not how it works, but people are eager to accept whatever is offered, cause many teams don't care to offer deeper meaning behind a rainbow painted character.

What? Cannot get enough rushing Nintendo teams off your stage for more game advertisements?

I would hope they delayed the physical prints, but... They hit the shelves today.

I would honestly be more willing to wait for delayed physical releases if that meant at least Day 1 patches were built in more often.

It's Disney.

Pretty sure 80% of us here have expected this move sooner.

@RupeeClock - It's also likely they may have a smaller side team working on oddities like this so they can take on more projects without encumberment.

Consider me double dipping.

Cavern of Dreams and Kiwi 64 feel like they just simply took the aesthetic of the N64 graphics to pitch their ideas that didn't feel flushed out enough.

This one though felt like it was an N64 game, like lost media type of feeling. Finished in modern era, but kept its original intended media feel.

This game felt a lot like Tonic Trouble, if that helps anyone.

@Chibi - Honestly, Auto Modelista would probably hold up pretty well for even a straight port. Good QoL improvements, maybe an extra track set. Game is still a solid one.

Though, a lot of us are probably crushed by the fact the same franchises are repeated ad nauseum to a point it feels hopeless to get a nee game.

@Xeacons - It also doesn't hurt that most of these simulator type games grant a sense of accomplishment upon doing the task and immediately rewarded for it. A reward that's clearly indicated before the level starts.

Where the real world many yime most extra effort goes unnoticed, if at all.

A solid 6 easily. In fact, that is why I score it as such; Game is just straightforwardly easy. No options for extra challenge or anything like Kirby and Mario proper.

I mean, it is perfect for that young aspiring gamer to have an easy mellow game that is not tied to some hashed-up license. And it plays solidly to boot.

It's simply just too easy.

@Vivianeat - Doesn't SEGA already have a new Golden Axe in the works?

Be pretty hard for dotemu to play the waiting game for a chance at it now.

@Ulysses - I honestly had no problem with the chibi approach. There was plentiful other little issues the BDSP had that an artistic style isn't what damned it.

We did have Link's Awakening remake too this gen.

I am getting this vibe that Ilca may be consumed by PokéCo in the near future.

Thwn I will double down on buying games I can play 5 years from now.

Codename STEAM.

That's it. That's the request.

Not touching NSO Premium. Simply do not support its methodology of playing a game. Probably jusy Killer Instinct for me. Fulgore and Glacius have a special place in my SNES experience.

@epicgamner - Sadly this is the last Riot Forge game they will release. They closed the whole project during their layoffs.

It saddens me, cause I was hoping for a Noxus building simulator.

Dude, Zen did me a pretty big solid with FX on the Wii U. Always played it in mamy of the lull periods that system had.

Now it has one of my favorite FPS back in the day. Insane.

@ScalenePowers - "TW doesn't miss!"

Bro, they made Rime. That enough to say they do, in fact, miss.

But Song of Nunu, that's good stuff.

White is Wii.

They're totally porting it to Wii.

@EarthboundBenjy - There is legal work arounds to make this sort of thing still happen, just cannot be a straight Giana Sisters attempt to mimicing the feature.

@Tryffel - I see Limited Run logo on the end there.

Chances are, it is indeed gunna happen.
