@mother_brain_85 What…do you think “woke” means? I promise, it has nothing to do with your parents being turned into dolls…

@Specter_of-the_OLED That wouldn't really be in the spirit of the original games though, which is what the current system is trying to approximate, even if using a search feature is kinda lame...

The original games back in the day didn't mandate that you HAD to use PS1/PS2 games...The fact that it gave new life to any old CDs you might've had around the house is what made it special. If you could only use Switch carts (which cost on average $50-$60), people would run out of monsters real quick.

@Noelemahc Haha, I'm afraid I didn't play enough of either "Secret" game to have much of an opinion, but the dog from Evermore definitely got it major points in my book...

@Noelemahc I think you might be underestimating the cultural penetration that the original Ducktales game had (to the point that the "Moon" theme was even paid homage to in the recent cartoon)...Even though the sequel has been available via remasters and ROMs, it's hard to compete with the exposure and nostalgia power of the first one.

(Personally, I think the first one is also a better game, but maybe I haven't played Ducktales 2 enough...)

@Noelemahc You're...upset that a sequel with a minimal production run that came out at the tail end of a console's lifespan isn't as popular as one of the most beloved NES games of all time..?

@Arkay take a breath, big guy…no reason to lose any sleep over imaginary articles

Some new key art for the main cast would’ve made the trailer feel less like a “RCG 1.5”, but the first game was a good time, so will keep an eye on what shakes out…

@SonOfVon Well, I think the benefit of the technological advancements in question is that they have allowed smaller studios to create a finished product without breaking the bank, but much like the hand-drawn animation of old Looney Tunes, which can stand up to almost any modern cartoon, the amount of work put into making Curse of Monkey Island (or really any Lucas Arts games of that era) look as good as it does speaks as much to a strong human understanding of movement and balance that I don't think a modern graphics engine can replace...

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of how this game looks either, and there are absolutely modern examples from small studios that look gorgeous (as you mentioned), but I suspect that's due more to this game's priorities probably being elsewhere (maybe the story telling, who knows!)

@SonOfVon It also had a much larger studio and George Lucas money behind it…

In a just world, no Mario Party game would be above Blast Corps...

Why are their shoes so...Busy?

The fact that the Ultra Teams alone didn't bump this up to at least a 7 is madness. I've never even tried the normal teams!

(Or maybe I'm just less interested in a faithful baseball experience...)

Being able to make your own grenades on the go in RE Village has really helped me get over that particular hang-up!

Also, I don’t think anyone beats Salazar legit more than once...I’ve played through that game in the double digits, and I’m pretty sure they give you the free rocket launcher in the castle just because that fight sucks.

I miss idiot beefcake Leon...he’s much too grim and serious in 6

I appreciate LR’s mission, but lately it feels like they’re more committed to whatever additional plastic paraphernalia they can cram in to justify a “collector’s edition”, than actual game preservation...

There are a lot of games that could use a leg up in circulation before Double Dragon, fellas!

Anyone crying over this list has never experienced the absurd joy that is Baseball Simulator 1000. Seriously, play it.

While I’m still champing at the bit for game boy games, I’m glad Nintendo is giving people the chance to play some deeper cuts.

"Countless Updates"...?

Are we playing the same game?

Never heard of this channel, but it's really great! The various themed mixes highlight a ton of great Japan-only gems, especially from stuff that'd I'd never play, like the hundreds of Mahjong/casino games...

Lord, spare these overrated waggle fests from using up our precious, precious plastic...

Gosh, that's a lot of plastic...

@BongoBongo Holy cow, thank god Robotnik is such a bad puyo puyo player...I basically guess my way through that entire thing, haha

Was...was this the big sega news? Or did I miss something more significant...

...Maybe mention the OTHER charge in the headline, Nintendolife...? You’re usually better than this (I think)...

@MrGlubGlub It really is. Just picked it up after reading glowing recommendations on a couple sites, and I’m already struggling to find the fun. Four bosses in and the repetitive, button-mashing hallway combat is really wearing out it’s welcome...This is supposed to be one of the game’s highlights?

Its a shame, because I’m loving the design of the world and characters, but not sure I’m gonna be able to finish this one...
