Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Resolution & Frame Rate Chart Released

@NintendoWife Twin Snakes is a bit of a controversial remake of the first MGS for many different reasons. They redubbed the voice acting, the soundtrack is completely different and they redid cutscenes which are animated to be very over the top and are pretty out of place compared to the rest of the series. The controls and gameplay system is the same as MGS2 and if you know your way around that game's controls, you can easily break it's difficulty.

Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Creative Director Teases "Secret Hidden Message" In Rayman DLC

Yeah and so did Michel Ancel wanted to bring Rayman back before retiring out of the blue. I wish I wouldn't have so much doubts about Rayman but his revival turned to continued neglect has burned me.

Also unpopular opinion but Rayman Origins is miles better than Legends and it bothers me the way Ubisoft kept porting Legends when I'm sure there would be no problems porting both to every platform.

Re: Pikmin Timeline Story Recap - What Happened Before Pikmin 4?

PipeGuy64Bit

@NatiaAdamo I always figured they had to restart development when they realized the Wii U ship was sinking but that still doesn't explain that large gap between the initial confirmation to finally getting a trailer for Pikmin 4. There's definitely a lot more to this story that we'll probably never get the answers for.

@Eggolor Well I'm well aware it's not a reboot. But I was unsure about it being a continuation or those theories of it being an alternate timeline or prequel.

The Pikmin 3 loose ends felt like they were hastily tied together in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. They not only threw away the sequel bait but they actively contradict what was shown on screen (i.e. Olimar saying the Pikmin got scared and ran away despite how we see them running towards the crashing ship during the ending credits of Pikmin 3).

Does Nintendo even care about the plot of these games anymore? They completely ruined the sequel bait at the end of the credits for Pikmin 3 just to say it was a cutscene for the Olimar side mode in Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Also not to mention retconning Louie staying on the planet at the end of the main game in Pikmin 3. Given what the plot Pikmin 4 is implying, there was some change in philosophy between 2015 and 2020 when Pikmin 3 Deluxe came out.

Re: Random: YouTuber Spends Nearly $23K Buying Every 3DS & Wii U eShop Game

@RupeeClock Look this is Jirad we're talking about. There have been cases where he doesn't do research on games he plays for his "Completionist" series:

He called Ace Attorney "Phoenix Wright series"

Wrongly labeled the 4th game, Apollo Justice a "spinoff"

And acted like the 5th case in the first game was "the finale" when it was just a bonus case that was made for the DS port. The game's main overarching narrative doesn't build up to it at all so Edgeworth's whole character arc gets ignored by Jirad.

Re: Sonic 2 Wins 'Favourite Movie' At Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2023

PipeGuy64Bit

I liked the 1st movie more than it's sequel but I will say it was at least way better than what it was nominated against. Also it's odd how Puss in Boots: The Last Wish wasn't nominated in the favorite animated movie category. But whatever this is a not serious award show to begin with since they don't formally present the winner for all of these categories.

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Rhythm Heaven Megamix

PipeGuy64Bit

@EarthboundBenjy Streamers playing it which of course means used copies online would suddenly sky rocket in price which makes me feel anguish. I already have my copies of the DS and Wii entries since they released back then but still I hate to see that happen to series I care about.

The localization of this game was absolutely weird. Remix 1, 2 and 3 and the credits had vocals in the Japanese version but they did not bother making English vocals for Remix 1, 3 and the credits (Remix 2 was already in English) and instead replaced the vocals with bad synthesized instruments. I'm thankful the game had a dual audio option although Bosa Nova Japanese voice lines were not in the game for some reason. The game also got shadow released during E3 2016 and it was such a lovely surprised but at the same time a big slap in the face that it was eShop only in North America.

It's so bitter sweet it took until 2020 for the series to gain a new wave of fans since I think what affected certain localization decisions in the past was because fan support wasn't large enough in Nintendo's eyes.
