It's not impossible but if I'm being honest I didn't love mkw like I loved previous games mainly 64 and Wii if releases continued to be that quality just more washed out colours and bland open world design with these boring stretches between tracks and all tracks feel samey I can see their popularity lowering

The bundle status helped dramatically though

Yeah superstars wasn't terrible but it wasn't good.

It had a really strong start but in the last few acts you had boss encounters that took 15 minutes each to progress past and some level gimmicks like the cyber zones mouse section that just didn't land or were fun at first which became annoying. It's not like this is the first sonic to have a level gimmick e.g spinning tops or rotating platforms in carnival night zone in s3 but those were not that bad compared to this.

Add the fact you couldn't hit bosses more than once and the fact that any good stages came largely in the first 3 acts it's not a game I ever want to revisit while the others I still replay them.

The co op play was a selling point but it felt largely broken in a sonic game and could have been done better with split screen

Doesn't this game have a robust offline campaign still or is it mostly tied into online these days.

This is brilliant

This guy really wants to blame everyone but himself

His logic
Star wars outlaws failed because of the ip not our scrappy bug ridden game that was trashed on launch and barely worked

He also blames hate campaigns for the overall decline of ubi

Shareholders are losing confidence but he won't let go of the leadership role its a mess

I feel like the number of sega games I play lately has increased significantly over the last few years especially with how dammn good the yakuza games have been

The welcome tour is selling? What is wrong with people

You missed the option to ask if anyone will be upgrading games in your poll

Even though World is a day 1 have it'd be nice to get a resolution boost for switch 2 assuming that we should see a frame rate improvement for split screen to purely because the stutters should be sent with by brute force of the hardware

Less a second chance and more a last ditch effort to make some money on a failed project. This version was likely greenlit months ago before the game actually launched

Was thinking it would be very cool if Nintendo could feature some music from the mega drive on here to they already extended mega drive to the NSO why not

Reggie where are you we need you back you can keep your mother 3 secrets just save us from greedtento

At bare minimum Reggie would have fought to include the welcome tour

They know the community want mother 3 but never issued a cease and desist on the fan translation that everyone uses.

Honestly just play the game with a translation at this point even Nintendos trying to tell you to do so with the hint of there are multiple options out there.

How in the world do third Party developers not have Dev kits yet ?

I'm hyped for the system but that news basically confirms we will have extremely limited support for the next two years from third parties

They should have had them 12 months back

@Shepdawg1 have to remember it is a multi plat it was delayed from December to April and they've been promoting it for a while.

The direct is very exciting but I don't think it will hurt the games sales in fact they could already have it present in the switch 2 direct as available now on ns1 and coming to ns2 upgrade for free that has been proven to drive sales when PS5 and Xbox series released they had a run on old games that had free upgrades

Everyone says that it doesn't mirror classic games or that it is like captain toad but that's not accurate.

It absolutely mirrors ristar but everyone seemingly has forgotten about ristar

To me it's always just meant the software has been tested and received certification not much more but they really should modify it these days to have an approval process that goes if you're charging money would you feel ripped off paying for a game of so it doesn't receive certification.

They won't go back but it'd be nice if there could be a split with the ability for third parties to launch virtual console games if they like as I can't see something like Castlevania IV coming to NSO but it will come to vc

That's about as clear as a message that I need to know that split fiction is coming to ns2.

I played it takes two recently with my wife who isn't really a gamer beyond Mario kart and hands down it was one of the better gaming experiences I've ever had I did t expect to love it so much even on the original switch which really started struggling in the snow levels.

I could get split fiction on ps5 but I think I'll hold out for ns2

@Toastmaster I disagree Microsoft sent me a email just yesterday with some personalised recommendations games with titles like Christmas massacre and a cover art made in ms paint or Spartan runner a 8 bit halo flip

Quality has dropped universally

All platforms have gotten considerably worse in recent years however I rarely see anything that isn't a big name title front and centre on PSN or Xbox however Nintendo will show you some real crap right up front.

They really do need to kick off this new generation differently and reinstate quality controls for submissions to the eshop bring back the Nintendo seal of quality

Xbox wouldn't know how to build a platformer they had one shot with the god awful nuts and bolts and gave up.

Banjo could be great but it wouldn't suit the shooter crowd that Xbox has built it's fanbase on

I hope so I don't have a 4mb expansion on my n64 and I don't really want to pay the second hand market prices for it just to play a small few games and I've never felt this game emulated well.

so this is high on my list of games I want for the system.

This so screams out day 1 switch as someone who had the original on PS back in the day I feel like I need to get it on PS alongside the 30th anniversary controller for the best experience.

So the question is what are the platforms this is coming to it certainly won't be the switch given the original was smartly tweaked from the PS4 version to be able to run excellently within the confines of the handheld. Ps5 and xsx is confirmed but the fact that Nintendo life is publishing this is it a hidden message for switch 2 support and what if the update path

I don't like it but it's inevitable as long as they can balance out smaller projects alongside major projects to avoid droughts especially as third party support is unknown we hope it's strong but who knows with nintendo and the switch 2

Are the changes significant enough to warrant paying full RRP in my opinion no in fact by all accounts this HD version is worse than the Wii version missing visual effects and is it really all the enhanced.

I still have a Wii connected to a retrotink so I'm very happy with my older consoles and games being upscaled I don't see a need to buy this version but if I didn't I would still hold out for a cheap second hand copy because the care simply isn't there on this one which is a shame because out of returns and tropical freeze I say returns is the better game.

But also the value of the game is overpriced when you're reselling a Wii game with basic visual tweaks and a game like tears of the kingdom for near the same price (actually dk cost more in my region) you can't tell me the same amount of effort went into remastering dk as did totks physics

Announcement pre Christmas will result in a sales slump.

Announcement post Christmas will result in many gamers buying a ps5 pro instead of a switch 2

Damned if you do damned if you don't

I actually beat botw around 35 hours in but totk took me 100 hours to get to the end of the game and beat him.

Based on that alone I feel the scope of the game was giant and if a lot of gamers can't even get through a standard fps campaign my estimate of players that actually beat years was probably about 25 odd percent.

However in my view tork.is easily the more superior game over botw there's just more to do and experiment with I enjoyed the story more overall I felt it was better but U get why botw is considered better by others

When it comes to Nintendo physical over digital every time.

I have next to no faith in Nintendo's ability to make my digital purchase available for download over time.

However looking at my physical library of Nintendo games I played Super Mario Bros 3 last week still works just like it did when I brought it

Come on smb3 icon set next (the greatest Mario game to date) yes I know those are fighting words

That's nice most workplaces just give headaches in Lou of gifts

It's really telling the MW2 is outselling MW3.

Also good to see sonic on the charts even if sega is a bit disappointed in its sales performance.

I'm doubtful hi fi rush never got a Xbox one release and is solely a Xbox series release. So it makes very little sense that it would come to switch given the capabilities of the switch are realistically under the Xbox one (hard pill to swallow for some for some reason but think logically).

However the listing is rival systems this year I'm about 99% certain we will get a switch successor this year so it could be a game for that.

Alternatively I could see sea of Thieves coming to switch and PS4/5 as it's a live service game with micro transactions so ms would generate money from sales and content also it's highly scalable with extremely weak PC's running it just fine.

So last night I booted up Zelda 1 on my nes console.....yeah im old.

I hope sega realise it's not a fault of sonics appeal but he's simply no Mario. I loved sonic in the 90s but so many disappointments turned me off the franchise for a long time it's only recently I'm enjoying it again.

I really wanted to like the Wii U but the gamepad for me was the biggest barrier to my enjoyment of the system it never felt right to actually hold the pro controller put the right stick at the top where the buttons should be and it just crippled my enjoyment of it.

I got some value out of the first party games but the third party stuff felt and often was worse then on the at the time basically last gen 360 and PS3 due to the duel rendering requirements. I'll never forget picking up watchdogs on the Wii U on still scared to this day it was like playing a slideshow.

The Wii U for me didn't gel for a long time and it was probably only during the past 12 months I discovered homebrew and it became my go to retro station to be clear I don't condone piracy games that can be purchased on modern systems absolutely should but bringing back my all time favourite nes games that you can't buy or have murky rights issues or defunct developers it transformed the Wii U to being one of my favourite systems the dpad works really well and feels much better than the switch pro controller overall.

In conflicted about the Wii U for what it was meant to be I didn't gek with it at all but for what it wasn't meant to be it became my favourite system

I'd love to use the NES controller as someone who grew up playing the NES Mario feels so natural to control with two buttons and a dpad.

But given the badge system requires the use of the r button I just assumed I was out of luck I Googled this so much but concluded it would be impossible.

The pro controller dpad just doesn't feel great unfortunately but it's better than joycon buttons
