@Mamabear a little while now for La-Mulana 2. I played La-Mulana first on Wii so skipped right to part 2 on Switch. These are great games. Highly recommended. My only caveat is both are VERY unforgiving.
@bigcalsworld just what I was about to comment. Great, yes, but MUCH better if handled in the same way as recent Wild Guns and Ninja Saviours remasters.
While it's indebted to Portal before it I actually prefer this game. The slightly easier puzzles more a balance between requiring thought but never becoming frustrating. On a side note, those commenting 'no gyro deal-breaker' for real!?
Just have my fingers and toes crossed this runs and looks the part on Switch. Not a given. That all being well, could easily be a GOTY contender for me since I was such a fan of Theme Hospital.
Still for me falls into that Holy Trinity of Indie. Undertake, Cave Story and La-Mulana. Axiom Verge deserving a VERY honourable mention. I have a birthday in March. Can't wait.
VERY few 'special editions' interest me. I have to REALLY be a fan of the game. Skyward Sword, SM3DW, Undertale the only in recent memory. I can definitely add this to my list. La-Mulana is a masterpiece and it's sequel looking very, very worthy.
Less to do with nostalgia and more the awesome mods for said system that have been popping up of late, each allowing impressive results (finally) on modern TV's.
I got one at launch. I have since sold it. Not a good controller. Decent, but far from good. If you want a genuinely good versatile controller for playing those 'retro' games...Hori Fighting Commander. I've yet to find better.
Sick and tired hearing comments regarding 'worst Monkey Ball' and 'just give us Monkey Ball 2'. I'm confident those commenting such never played Blitz on Wii since it was a very good entry in the series and using Motion to control was implemented brilliantly.
I recently cancelled my preorder. I was hopefully with M2 at the helm, but still with expectations truly in check. Sound lag and various frames of input lag in recent reviews has since dissuaded me. A lovely little collectors item I'm sure.
Looks interesting if not the game-changer of Wii Fit and Motion Plus. I'd have preferred Nintendo had just concentrated the software on exercise than a hybrid of both exercise and adventure game. Still, I'm always happy when Nintendo continues to innovate and experiment. Some of it sticks, some misses, but, that's the nature of experiments. Certainly a lot more original than remasters which the self proclaimed 'hardcore' covet.
Just play Super Soccer 'free' as part of NSO. It's average, even crappy at times, but, it still guaranteed plays and looks a lot better than this newly announced game.
People talking the Lite is not reason for them to 'upgrade' yet. I'm not surprised since the Lite is NOT intended as an 'upgrade'. It's a sidearm if anything or what the 2DS was to the 3DS. Don't judge it on what it isn't but rather what it is. My opinion is I'm happy with my OG Switch but can definitely see this selling very well.
