Waited on double-dipping (I really enjoyed the original, despite its many flaws) for the 60fps patch.
Once this patch drops I'll be buying asap! This patch was only a matter of time imo, the original game on Switch ran very well so I had no doubt a 60fps patch was coming in the future.
Playtonic is pretty good at optimizing Switch ports, they even managed 60fps with The Impossible Lair back on the old Switch ^_^
One of my favorite games of the year it came out, it feels like a Gamecube game in all the right ways ^_^
(and no it's not an easy game at all! o.O)
Sadly no gyro aiming from what I've heard, so you're still stuck using the slow-mo mode for precise arrow shots.
One thing the review doesn't mention is that new game+ is actually quite different from the normal game.
Bigger and different enemy groups in regular combat and story bosses get some new attacks.
Prices for the paid route seem reasonable, but sadly not enough info on how much VP you can earn for free per battle. I know Scarlet & Violet give a ton of bonus points for reaching higher ranked tiers and stuff, but the trailer didn't give any concrete info on this...
But I'm very happy to see Meganium get such an amazing Mega ability. All its moves acting like Sun is active, even when it's raining, is amazing for Solar Beam and fire type Weather Ball spam and having access to the best recovery move in the game with Synthesis. Well deserved glow-up for what's been arguably the worst starter for ages!
@Sylamp Was curious about this too, but I only know of one example and that is Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition.
For some reason that game still ran a 1080p resolution in handheld and cut the fps to 30fps, instead of going 720p/60fps which based on docked being 1080p/60fps should have been very feasible o.O
@roy130390 If you do decide to return you'll find it's not even the same game anymore, so much has changed.
We've had multiple reworks of the damage system, reworks of status effects, reworks of many old frames, a ton of new modes, more weapons then you can count, tons of QoL stuff, etc.
Really enjoyed the demo! It's got that "simple yet hard to master" type of gameplay that never gets old and I'm digging the overall aesthetic. This and Kena: Scars of Kosmora on PC are definite Day 1's for me ^_^
Hmm, I like it quite a bit, but I feel like the set would've benefitted from the base plateau being around 10-20% bigger, so things could be spread out a bit more.
It does feel a bit messy with everything so close together.
Great choice! One of the better Fire Emblem games out there and the original GC release is very expensive nowadays.
A bit of a bummer that they pushed the sequel to the Wii, coz it'll be a very long time until people can see the conclusion with how slow Nintendo is with adding new generations to NSO v.v

Re: Reminder: Resident Evil's Generation Pack Is Leaving The Switch 2 eShop This Month
@RenanLK Resident Evil 2 & 3 remakes are less than 10 bucks on PC.
Capcom does really good deals and usually within a year of a game releasing.
Re: Poll: So, Which Starter Will You Choose In Pokémon Winds & Waves?
Gonna go with the grass starter for a change. Browt just reminds me of Red from the Angry Birds movie and I quite enjoyed that movie ^^
