Looks incredibly dull, I don't understand the hype

On PC you could always quickly save and load with F5 and F6, hope they add that to the console versions in the future. Seems like the FMV's are still largely untouched though (although smoothened a bit and the black lines removed).

@Asaki They did add facial animations to the regular cutscenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNStPP-NCac

@larryisaman I see what you did there

This is looking pretty great! Best games from my childhood. So many fond memories. But what about the fmv's?

Just give me the '94 Donkey Kong for the NSO Gameboy

It's far from my favourite, took my 8-year old self so many tries to beat the act 2 boss. However, the music track, together with Hydrocity zone, is by far the best in the series, so funky!

Melee was the best with the N64 as a close second. The N64 attacks had such a powerful feel and sound to it, also...Sector Z

Didn't know they were wearing a mask, always thought that was their real face

If you're looking for a great platformer currently on sale you should try out Juiced!

I'll be waiting patiently for it to arrive when it's done

This is great! More Sonic 3 remixes please! I'd love to hear his take on Marble Garden and Flying Battery zone.

Nothing beats Hollow Knight, both as a platformer and a metroidvania. Btw, if you like retro 2d platformers, be sure to give Juiced! a try, it's a hidden gem.

It has already been featured in an earlier article but if you're in for a decent retro 2d platformer check out Juiced!

@Woderwick the plot from the Sands of Time sequel (Warrior Within) though ... absolutely blew me away... brilliant plottwist

I've played over 200hrs but I never thought about riding a cart like this. I found most shield fusions useless (except rocketshield) so I didn't bother experimenting.

Sadly I'd already landed on Dragonhead pretty early in the game and accidentally fell right into the part where the shrine was. When I finally had to get there the 2nd time around I just warped there... so I didn't have this experience at all. It felt to me they had to make Dragonhead more clearly off limits so it's not spoiled early in the game. EDIT: LOL, seems like everyone had this experience. I think people are not expecting to have a fifth sage quest after the four regional phenomena (like in botw), so people try to discover everything before reaching up to this point

Nice review! If you like this be sure to check out Juiced! on the Switch

If you're still in doubt: BEST. GAME. EVER!!

Sadly it hasn't been reviewed here, but be sure to pick up the platformer hidden gem Juiced!

Conker's Bad Fur Day by far. Then Banjo Tooie.

Loved it! If you like this I can definitely recommend checking out JUICED!

Now I understand why he wasn't in Return to Monkey Island. His voice was amazing.

You guys should really check out JUICED!, such an underrated retro platformer.

Still trying to beat that @%&% fish boss in JUICED!

@Tandy255 That scene with the snowman's wife still haunts my dreams

Big fan of the series, but this game was a no for me. The minimalistic UI makes it too easy imo, and the ending was pretty lame. Also, graphics feel way too cheap and rushed, nothing compared to the beatiful canvasses and amazing cutscenes of Monkey Island 3.

You should definitely get Juiced!, great platformer, only a few bucks, super underrated

I played the game and tried to look past the art style but it's just too ugly. Animations are cheap, cutscenes are too simple, art style hideous: some objects I can't even see what they're supposed to depict until I see the description. Also, point and click system has been run down to the minimum: only 1 or 2 prefab ways to interact with an object.
This is such a bleak game compared to a cinematographic adventure like Monkey Island 3 where every room was like a painting and the cutscenes were like movies. I'm sad this will be the last one in the series.

I have a feeling this will be the second greatest Monkey Island game I've ever seen

You've played only a few hours of Twilight Princess?!! Shame on you.

Gonna play some more JUICED! and see if I can finally manage to beat that boss rush

Reminds me a lot of Max Payne 3

Wow that's quick! I'm finally getting excited for this game!

Portal 2 is even better!

@BobbleBubble don't forget Conker's Bad Fur Day!

If you want a great co-op adventure platformer from this sale be sure to check out JUICED!

Just give me Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo Tooie, Smash and DK64

JUICED! was the ideal platformer for me on the road. Loading times are non-existent and it has many checkpoints. Also, the game is a must play and extremely underrated

Juiced! had many puzzles that were extremely frustrating but also utterly brilliant

Hm... big fan of the series but really not a fan of this art style

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Silksong is all I'm asking

@jamesthemagi Don't forget Juiced! it's 60% off

These are the tracks I grew up with (Sonic3&K PC Collection), so great news! Also, musically I think these are a lot more interesting AND also more in the style of the other tracks.

@Silly_G Indeed, best one was Slowpoke interacting with Shellder turning into Slowbro.
That's Commander Keen for you

Hello in-game pokemon evolutions! That was the part I was missing the most in New Pokemon Snap

@AstroTheGamosian not really the place to discuss this, but don't be biased because of tragic stories like this. These are the stories that impress people and stick. But you'll never hear about all the young people that got a colonoscopy for no medical reason where everything was good. Too many of these make health care unaffordable. Also, you'll never hear about the people that were treated or had surgery for 'irregularities' in their colon but it turned out to be completely benign. They were done more harm by being diagnosed and treated instead of doing nothing. This is how public screening programs are discussed, compare the quality of life won by early diagnoses of cancer compared to overtreatment and costs. That said, of course this is a very tragic story and it shouldn't be like this and I understand your primary emotional reaction. But please don't think you have the solution, it's not how good and affordable health care works.

Interesting, didn't know the sonic&knuckles collection tracks were actually the original sonic 3 tracks. They did always feel more in the style of the rest of the tracks compared to the MJ tracks

Does this mean they also can't use the new tracks from the '97 pc port? Those were great tracks
