Re: Book Review: Super Nintendo: How One Japanese Company Helped The World Have Fun

RoboCube

@Anti-Matter Mario Sunshine wasn't the only Game Cube game, ya had the original Animal Crossing, Smash Bros Melee such a great game Luigi's mansion, while I was stuck with a PS2 cus DVDs was a big deal back then, I loved rediscovering the Game Cube era on Wii, man Double Dash was amazing too wish it was on Switch 2 already, as for Miis I think the simple design made it more accessible to people to create whoever they wanted, sure it was limited but it had tons of charm and was cool to see people get creative.

Re: Rumour: Switch Online GameCube Releases Might Have Been Leaked

RoboCube

Aside from Prime 2 what's the hold up on Mario Sunshine? Double Dash? Melee? Games that should of been on the service since day one, if we had Double Dash and Melee more people would actually want to play this service just for the online muitplayer, ATM Nintendo GameCube seems like a wasted opportunity for Switch 2.

Re: Video: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch 2 & Switch)

RoboCube

@Anti-Matter You forget Animal Crossing is a muiplayer game, reason why this isn't 60fps unlike the Switch 2 version of Zelda Breath of the wild is cus Switch 1 players can play with Switch 2 players that's why the only speed increase is the load times honestly as much I want a new AC for Switch 2 I do love how Switch 1 players aren't missing out on the new content and can even join people's games on Switch 2, besides as others said 30 FPS is fine for Animal Crossing, it's not about racing it's about taking your time and relaxing.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Nominated For Even More Awards

RoboCube

@Rhaoulos Honestly that's what you call a real 10/10 game, might be a updated Wii U game but Zelda Botw is the most fun I had on Switch 2 since I brought the system, only got game this week due to a sale but I haven't put my Switch 2 down since, really hope we get more games like it at the next direct.

Re: "He Is Amazing" - Mario Voice Actor Kevin Afghani Heaps Praise On Charles Martinet

RoboCube

I don't mind Kevin tho his Mario and Wario sound a little off at times with Mario sounding like Mickey Mouse and Wario sounding like a different guy altogether especially in Wario Ware Move it his Luigi and Waluigi are great however but the big thing bugs me isn't Kevin's fault but the fact most of his lines are just repeats of what Charles has said before and they haven't gone into full dialogue aside from Wario Ware Move it, I mean what's the point of replacing Charles if you ain't gonna have the new guy do anything new as Mario or Luigi at least it's odd Charles had more chances of saying actual sentences as Mario then Kevin.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library With Another Game

RoboCube

You know if they put some actual GameCube games people want or better yet put some of the better multiplayer ones I mean the whole point to this is playing it online with others then this could help fill the void of new Switch 2 games, a reason to get it, Mario Kart Double Dash, Smash Bros melee, Prime 4 just came out why not Prime 2? You got goldeneye on n64 why not add Nightfire? The GameCube always had a small library but it's ridiculous how little content Switch 2 offers for it, my phone can play GC fine and I got Sunshine on Switch thanks To 3D All Stars are they really gonna wait till Summer just to add Sunshine to Switch 2 despite the sounds if you got the new GameCube controller and pictures of it in the screen options

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

RoboCube

@VeneBoy Like with the Wii and Switch 1 it will take awhile for the big killer apps to come, Switch 1 did well with the Wii U ports funny that and even the Wii aside from Wii Sports and a port of twilight princess there wasn't any new killer apps untill later on, tho it's worth the wait more often then not.

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

RoboCube

Honestly feel they released the Switch 2 a bit too early aside from Mario Kart World, Kirby and Donkey Kong which was gonna be a Switch 1 game there's no Switch 2 only games to get yet, I'm still playing my Switch lite and getting more Switch 1 games, despite having a Switch 2 since near launch I haven't got any Switch 2 carts yet and only thinking of starting with Zelda breath of the wild, I do like how it's like the GBC as in if I get upgrade I can also play it on my Switch 1 lite as well without the 60fps a lot of the Switch 2 versions feel like the old colour DX upgrades, it's nice but untill we get actual Switch 2 only games then it should get a lot more interesting.

Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Clings To The Top 40

RoboCube

@Metazoxan Honestly reminds me a lot of Duke Nukem Forever while I get they didn't want to rush development but after all these **years** it's a lot to live up too, and honestly it might of helped a lot if Nintendo remade Prime 2 and 3, maybe do something like Galaxy did and have all 3 prime games even if it's just HD versions of the Wii versions, or perhaps they could of put Prime 2 on Game Cube classics to get people into prime, while I brought the 1st remake and collection on Wii U back then tho never got round to playing 2 and 3 I'm in no rush to get 4 yet since I still got the 1st remake to finish, feel there's a lot of story to catch up first and Nintendo could of market this better.

Re: Arcade Archives Celebrates 500 Retro Releases With Special Commemorative Game

RoboCube

@Exerion76 Because Hamster are greedy, you only get a time attack mode so you just play Space Invaders for a few minutes instead of using a watch.. and VRR it's a game from 1978 so it's not really needed you get all the same save states, rewind features the only real benefit if you got a Switch 1 and 2 you can get the "upgrade" so you can play it on both consoles without swapping the virtual game cards between systems, other than that there's no real difference between AA and AA2 versions.

Re: Arcade Archives Celebrates 500 Retro Releases With Special Commemorative Game

RoboCube

@masterLEON It's still a rip off for this price, arcade archives never have any sales, meanwhile capcom have their arcade classics in a actual 3D arcade, bunch of options and you can pick which game you want for the price you would put into the machine a much better price plus a lot of these games are more replayable, the original Space Invaders got old soon as Galaga came out and isn't worth the price arcade archives is asking, I don't get why your defending them but if you want to pay $8 for a rom of a 1970's game that's been on everything as much as the original pacman you go and waste your money. lol

Re: Arcade Archives Celebrates 500 Retro Releases With Special Commemorative Game

RoboCube

@masterLEON Actually the normal Switch 1 and PS4 versions also have rewind and 4 save slots 5 if you count the quick save slot the only real difference between it and Switch 2 is a time attack mode and I guess VRR but do you really need that or a Switch 2 port just to play Space Invaders or any nearly 50 year old arcade game? Again when it's stuff that's never ported before like Ridge Racer tho I found the Switch 2 version to lag unlike on Switch 1 and Outfoxies would of been great if it has online same with Tokyo War, fact there's only a split screen option on Switch 2 yet M2's did 8 player split screen and online races on the Switch for 1/4 of the price sure it's great but Space Invaders? That's been perfectly brought home thu ports and emulation since the 90's and now at this price? At least with Donkey Kong you got 4 levels, this just seems like a total rip off I should know I bought enough of these arcade archives.

Plus you mentioned M2's Contra collection, at it only costs the price of two arcade archives roms and you actually get some history about the games your playing it's something that's always been lacking in arcade archives all you get is instructions and maybe a cheat code for a Easter egg like in Aque Jet.

Re: Arcade Archives Celebrates 500 Retro Releases With Special Commemorative Game

RoboCube

@Teksette So your Totally fine paying $9.99 for Space Invaders on Switch 2? Btw these aren't ports like Namco used to do with their Namco Museums especially the PS1 ones with the virtual museums it's roms on a emulator, there just doing what make does for free, only there making a mint here $20 if you wanted both Switch 2 versions of Space Invaders 1 and part 2 there's barely any changes between games it's more of a slight update/patch then a sequel for that price you could just could get the Space Invaders Compilation that has 11 games new and old not just the 70s roms, also there's Sega Ages by M2 they were much cheaper and with most releases actually ported the games to new systems adding new game features and improvements, I did like Hamster but they lost me on expecting people to buy any old rom they stick in their emulator for their ridiculous prices...again why does Space invaders a 1978 game need a Switch 2 upgrade? That costs $9.99??

Re: Arcade Archives Celebrates 500 Retro Releases With Special Commemorative Game

RoboCube

@shgamer For a series called arcade archives it would be nice if they included some history about each game instead just here's how to play it some of their releases have been amazing, and there are games have that "one more go" I won't lie but some of these releases like Space Invaders and other 70s games for this price is silly especially when capcom does it at 1/4 the price and honestly has a better presentation, even Atari has been doing a better job and more fair price, the dlc for the Namco arcade games,Atari ports is the same price as this one arcade archives release... lastly why the heck does Space Invaders and other 70's arcade games need a Switch 2 version? That isn't a free upgrade either... I know it's not the most powerful handheld in this age, but seriously? This isn't Zelda breath of the Wild it's a B&W 1970s arcade game...
