Man, I miss Chris Slate. They were always making fun of him through different gags and reader mail. To think NP's last issue came out at the Wii U launch. Time flies I tell ya
I THOUGHT the game looked a bit low res. I just figured the jaggie's I saw on my screen was from a specific camera angle. Good to hear 1080p 60fps is coming though it's a mystery why it was never here to begin with
It's a tradition of mine to play this first every time I head into a local arcade. I can never crack the top 5 scores though. Consider this version practice until I walk away with a new high score
The slew of cat puns was one of my biggest fears for this game. Good to know this game is still decent enough as I was interested in it anyway. You could even say this game could be the "cats meow" for kitty worshipers like myself
Wii is my go to system for RE4. Sure the (re)re-lease on 8th gen looks good, at least in some spots, 480p with butter smooth pointer controls is where this game shines. 480p hides a lot of the visual niggles and really, the game was designed around 480i and 480p and it looks great in said resolutions. Good to hear gyro controls are a functional alternative on Switch
I believe this actually came to 3DS in 2011. I double dipped. Well triple dipped as I have it on my 3DS, Vita, and now Switch. I just wish this version came with a level editor. I would kill for that
@sillygostly Yeah, I hear you. I did buy 17 and 18 for my girlfriend though. She still uses her Wii for Netflix and Just Dance. It is pretty barebones and I know they could pull off more on the Wii if they tried (hey, it sells the most) but I digress. Though I think the Wii version has the World Dance Floor online mode still
This can either go one of two ways. Really awesome or "Oh Nintendo. I'm a bit saddened that the 3DS has been regulated to an "entry vehicle" system but I guess its better than phasing it out completly
Hey Reggie, how about your inability to meet our demands for basic necessities in a gaming device from 2017 ie: system level messaging and party chat, cloud storage and not having our games saves TETHERED to a single device. This has been said a thousand times but your online app is a joke and it's only real purpose is to tie in with Splatoon 2 currently which is a shame considering there are other worthy games that could be featured
It's nice to see 3DS support. Yes the Switch is out and is on fire right now but the 3DS can still coexist. There is so much coming out for the Switch in the next few weeks and even more in the coming months, I don't think this needs to be on the platform considering it already has a solid port of Minecraft. The 3DS has a butchered Minecraft and is for a portion of said user base because of the platform (N3DS). To the people who are still complaining when something is put on the duel screened handheld and not the Switch, have you ever heard the phrase "don't look a gift horse in the mouth? The Switch won't sell any faster with this game on it c:
Yes I agree Nintendo should get their crap together and add themes to the Switch (among other things) but it's nice to see them still adding themes to the 3DS still. We don't get them often anymore. Seriously, it seems like everywhere you go on NL, someone is complaining about why this and that isn't on Switch ie. USUM. I want themes and games on the Switch like you guys but I appreciate Nintendo still supporting their older hardware
I like the darker tone from the early 2000's better than where they are going now personally. The character designs and voice actors of the era suited the "darker" theme better imo. Time will tell if Forces will be all that Sega is building it up to be
Kinda glad they did this after the last few Mario games pretty much gave you all the lives you needed and then some. Seriously, I don't know why they even programmed a Game Over screen into NSMB2
Good to hear it's finally getting released. My Switch actually locked itself into Sleep Mode because it locked up my Switch. Had to send it to Nintendo to get it fixed. Got it back working but Nintendo broke the flap that cover the game cards on my unit :/ One problem at a time
I still sweat playing Toadstool Titan from MP3 to this day. With 3 other friends all reaching for that mushroom, trying steal it from each other, then that ominous invincibility jingle started, that's when you knew the game was on

Re: Pokémon Crystal Is Coming To 3DS Early Next Year
Why would this show up on Switch? Already picked up Gold but maybe I'll double dip when the time comes

This game will no doubt see the sales it deserves this time around thanks to a little old thing called the Switch

Re: Yooka-Laylee's Nintendo Switch eShop Price Is Revealed
Until Playtonic shapes up and releases a physical version, I will pass on Switch. I just picked this up on Xbox for 30 so I'm content
Re: Super Mario Cereal Will Start Milking the Franchise on 11th December in the US
Didn't Iwata say amiibo would be used in meaningful ways and not be a cash grab to consumers? I'm paraphrasing but still

Re: Reggie on Backing Up Your Saves with the Switch
Surely it can't be too hard. Even if it were true, why couldn't the Wii U do it considering the 360 and PS3 could save games in the cloud
