@Mycroft I mean, I agree with the exception that some form of report on how the game plays on Switch is important. Based on the history of the game we have: 360: Original, clunkier design, but works stable.
PS3: Terrible framerates with very little graphical improvements, heard rumors of crashing but nothing substantial.
PC: Broken as the sanity of the game itself. With one scene requiring either using the cigs for a bit before activating it to prevent it from crashing or putting the game in windows 98 compatibility, the game only functions semi-properly on the best of days and just doesn't any other time. I've had the PC version since launch and still haven't beaten it due to the fact that it takes like 5 tries just to get the thing running on each session.
I love the game, I plan on easily plopping down the 30 for the game, but I want to ensure that this version is actually playable without serious issue. I've had one person report that the sound cut out twice with having to restart the game the only fix, and less than stellar driving performance.
Because I don't see it listed in the review, but when it comes to Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana, there are 4 options each when it comes to display mode.
Stretched, no filter (at least on my tv this causes like Randi's eyes in Secret to be two different widths due to the not quite exact pixel size)
Pixel-Perfect, no filter (smaller, but perfect sized pixels)
Stretched, filter (adds a slight, guessing bilinear filter, fixes the uneven pixel issue from the other stretched mode, but very slightly blurs the image)
Pixel-Perfect, filter (Same as other Pixel-Perfect, just with the filter.)
As for the worth of the package, I can understand the disappointment on the price, I kind of wish the collection had like box art and original manual scans to accompany the music player, but considering I emulated the crap out of Seiken Densetsu 3's fan translation years ago, I had to buy this to support the official release and own it legally.
Don't worry lemming, even the USA is having problem. I made sure my email box was checked on my account and I and others in the US didn't get the codes, others said they sent emails to them asking what's going on and got some faq bullplop including "The newsletter can't be sent again" or "There are no more codes" or some dumb crap like that. I've been drifting away from pokemon for years, and felt like getting some of the pokemon I like the most (Gen 1) would help that. Yeah I think I'm about done with pokemon at this point, haven't even beaten the elite four/champion in Y...
@NaughtyU Sorry to hear about that. Personally for me I wouldn't have given him codes even in trade because of the begging he did earlier, plus the person he scammed before you. It's sad that people will scam from things like this.
@Joshflowers Sorry to hear that. I could put my thoughts here on it, but it wouldn't add to the conversation, hopefully things will eventually be made right. Time to return to my silent lurking in hopes of getting lucky and completing the bundle
Yeah, sadly when posting in the open that's a problem. I know I'm a minority in this but if I see a key being posted specifically for someone else, I won't touch it. I probably could have gotten SF4 earlier today but I decided to hold back since someone was outright begging for keys, and I figured I'd be nice and step back on it. But even then, someone else beat the person.

Re: Three New Titles Have Been Added to the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle
@Joshflowers I figured that's what you meant. Personally I was getting rather annoyed by his constant begging.

Re: Three New Titles Have Been Added to the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle
I'm only Street Fighter away from the whole set. Not too bad for myself, and I might luck out before the bundle ends
Re: Three New Titles Have Been Added to the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle
@Thegentleman It's sad when someone can't be decent and give at least a thanks for the free code just so people know the code is used.

@DireDireDocks Grabbed Darksiders, Thanks.
