Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch

Mixed emotions. I was really excited when I played this on the GCN but the cost to fun ratio was off. You needed 4 GCN to GBA cables, 4 GBAs, and someone from the team who was willing to carry the jar thing. So only three people really enjoyed at a time.

It was fun but for what you had to spend to get a 4 player game going, it wasn't worth it. If they fix that then it wouldn't be a big problem.

Scores would be good if there was an industry standard. Maybe use something like Net Promoter Score to aggregate and determine if reviews actually recommend the game or not. Averages hide too many things and that’s why am not a fan of Metacritic.

MH requires an investment from the player. I started with Tri on the Wii and couldn’t beat a Great Jaggi. It wasn’t until I properly learned how to use a lance did I progress. And that’s another thing. Finding the proper weapon for your play style takes a while as it’s a lot of trial and error. It’s good that the current game has built in tutorials per weapon.

Happy that Psikyo SHMUPs are on the Switch. I used to play these on the arcade and they used up all my quarters. Definitely more than the $7.99 that I paid to get this.
