Metroid Prime 4 is a very beautiful game but very psychedelic and strange.
The world feels not as a new exciting planet to explore but different gimick-areas clearly divided and do not feel part of the same world. In addition, the game is very playful with gimmics that take you out of the experience and remind you that you are sitting and playing a game right now.
Positively, it is very beautiful and graphically well made. The negative is that the atmosphere is completely missing and it is a video game.
If it's a showcase for the fantastic Joycons, 3D-rumble, IR capabilities and motion controls and such, I'm positive. Joycons are awesome.
Nintendo rarely use the full capacity of the joycons. I remember "guess the amount of balls in the box" in original 1-2-Switch to be really impressive.
Im relieved to hear that SEGA want to continue the mini consoles:
Next up should be: Master System Saturn DreamCast
All those systems got great games. They should add Quality of Life features to the Master System games like they did on the Genisis/MD2 - Phantasy Start II.
Phantasy Star I for Master System i noutorius for beeing grindy and unforgiving with lots of encounters and no map in mazes. They must add those features in some way. At least minimize the huge grindning.
Paranoid (C64) - The whole game Nuclear Embargo (C64) - Scary sounds and I looked scary Shadowgate (NES) - the torches that ran out Rings of Power (MD/Gen) - Void that could show up and kill your party suddenly Alien Trilogy (PS) - The music and atmosphere
Square Enix didn't fully understand Actraiser. When I play Actraiser on SNES I feel like a God. Everyone is small, even the angel. The people pray to me and bend their heads. I am so far away from them that I even can't see their faces.
In this game the Angel is huge. He approaches me with no respect. I can see the peoples faces and we are on the same level. Also, the heroes, with attitude, feels like gods more then me. I don't feel like a God at all in Actraiser Renaissance.
@WolfyTn Why is it necessary to specifically in the article write the brand? Why is it so urgent to know the brand if its not an specific way to connect them.
Unnecessary, I almost skipped the article because of this. What brand of Bluetooth earphones they are using will be apparent when reading the article. It's not necessary in the title.
Never liked Apple. They been anti-consumer since their iPhone 4 and "you're holding it wrong" and their denial of faulty graphics card in Macbook Pro 15 (which they finally acknowledged).
The end of NES and beginning of SNES era. Nintendo was dominating and created quality game after quality game.
I'm shocked that SMB3 only got 2%. It had a HUGE impact on the industry and they made a toys, cartoons, big screen movie and everyone talked about SMB3. It was massive and everywhere.
I like this game alot. Its great. If I never saw the PS4 version I would never notice any problems (now when the critical problems are fixed and the graphics are better with the latest update).
I am looking forward to more graphical updates like the rain on the ship in the beginning, better lighting and more content. It's a great game.
The problem is that Ubisoft said it is the REMASTER version. It's even on the box.
It is clearly not the remaster version. It's the old version with better resolution. That's it. They lied to us.
None of the water effects, lightning effects or even new textures.
They need to fix this fast and work hard to earn back the trust because I am actually pretty upset.
Is it possible to sue them for fraud? This must not be a common practise in the industry! If you release the old version over again, without any of the Remaster improvmenta, you just cant print REMASTER on the box. We need to let them know that.
@JamesCoote Get the Wii/WiiU composit/component cable. It has Right and Left audio output. Connect it to some regular Speakers and check the "Play music in HDMI and AV" option in WiiU settings. Enjoy the music!
I agree. I disslike the controls in SMB. But I love them in any other Mario Game. In SMB Mario accelerate to slow and you have no real control over Mario while jumping. In every other game the movements are great, but the controls in SMB just feels slow and somewhat clunky.
In my opinion they should either sexualize no one or sexualize everyone, including Donkey Kong. How, you ask? With his fur shaved of course. Zero fur DK.
@Bishasaurus @khululy I wonder what would happen if they announced "Zero suit Falcon", " Little clothes Mac" or "Underwear Marth".
From what I understand some people are getting upset because the lack of clothes... did they even look at Bowser. He's wearing nothing but a shell. Now that's upsetting! He could at least have the decency to bring some underwear to the battlefield. But he is the king of Koopas. He can do whatever he want.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pokémon Legends: Z-A?
Models and textures are Wii / GC level. Not good enough.

The Switch is now super stable.
Re: Best Of 2022: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?
Well, it is in great shape except Joycon drift.
I opened the joycon and repaired it so it works 95% of the time now.
Looking forward to the new Switch Pro / Switch 2 eventually.

Re: Sega Thinks Its "Super Game" Could Bank Over $600 Million USD
Phantasy Star V - finally!
Phantasy Star is an IP they should use more. Not the Online games, I mean the original series.
Dont get your hopes up.
Re: Talking Point: Which Scary Video Game Moments Gave You Nightmares As A Kid?
Paranoid (C64) - The whole game
Nuclear Embargo (C64) - Scary sounds and I looked scary
Shadowgate (NES) - the torches that ran out
Rings of Power (MD/Gen) - Void that could show up and kill your party suddenly
Alien Trilogy (PS) - The music and atmosphere
I still feel little uneasy playing those games.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Executive Director Teases Series' Future
I would love if they could remake SEGAs Phantasy Star-series. That's just a wish and would probably never happen

Re: How To Use Bluetooth Headphones On Switch - Connect AirPods To Nintendo Switch
@GannonBanned Yeah, Im upset. Airpods isnt the definition of wireless headphones. It just make the writer ignorant or stupid.
Its like asking for a Coke but actually want a Pepsi. Or asking for an iPad made by Samsung. Its just stupid.
I guess you all got your own examples when you use a company brand to descripe an whole product category.

Re: Review: Actraiser Renaissance - A Noble Attempt At Resurrecting The Godly 16-Bit Classic
Actraiser 2 Reimagine?!
Time for Square Enix to remake Actraiser 2 and and SIM/Town mode and make the controls better.
Re: Actraiser Renaissance Hits Nintendo Switch Later Today
I'd prefere Actraiser 3. This looks like a cheap flash game. I love Actraiser. I hope this is a game worthy of Quintet and not a quick cash grab.

Re: How To Use Bluetooth Headphones On Switch - Connect AirPods To Nintendo Switch
This article isn't for me. I don't own the airpods headphones. You should do an article about other earphones too.
Re: Random: This Nintendo Switch UI Redesign Makes The Home Menu And eShop Look Like Apple's iOS
Yuck! It looks awful.
Keep the simple UI instead.
All Nintendo need to so is add folders, good themes and maybe (if it doesn't require more RAM) up the UI to 1080p instead of 720p.
Re: The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Has Been Forced To Shut Down

Re: Poll: What's The Best Game Boy Color Game?

Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
I would like a dock that support Nvidia DLSS so it can scale content up to 4K and hopefully even increase the FPS to 60 by adding extra frames.
But it won't add any more graphical power, textures, lightning and so on.

Too bad! I would buy it in an instant! But EA doesn't want out money...
..the honest way
Re: "Nintendo Isn't That Smart": Pachter Says Nintendo Should Scrap Switch And 'Only Have Switch Lite'
Oh, actually a wireless HDMI connection-stick was actually how I thought they would do the TV-play, before they released Switch.
The dock is great too! Skipping wireless connection reduces lag.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.2.0 Is Now Live
@MrAsild Are their still "gaming laptops"? Haha.. XD
Bought a Nvidia Shield TV (2019). I also got Nvidia GforceNow for my Galaxy Tab. I havn't turned on my gaming laptop since.
I do use my Switch though.

Re: Sega Brings Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis To Nintendo Switch In 2021

Re: Talking Point: A History of the Sexualisation of Samus
In my opinion they should either sexualize no one or sexualize everyone, including Donkey Kong. How, you ask? With his fur shaved of course. Zero fur DK.

So it's Samus for all the guys.
Captain Falcon for the ladies.

Got it!
