@Bunkerneath There's a ton of mods of Celeste Classic.
Games made with the PIco-8 engine are Open Source via the engine.
So taking the game down, at least regarding reasons related to Celeste, won't happen.

@Bolt_Strike It's not an endless runner though. They already said there are 140 levels...

Planetoid C-2 can rot in a Space Junkyard though.

The 'connect to the TV' aspect of the Switch isn't even that expensive to implement in hardware.

It's not going to drop the price to sub-200, if anyone actually hoping for that.

@Hunt3r_Cr0wl3y Lady Layton costs $16 on mobile, but that didn't stop the 3DS version from costing $40 either.

If this, along with potential ports of the other DS ports, are $40+ each I'll pass.

All three for $60 would have been worth it though.

As great as it is to see Nintendo share something as big as Zelda, there's a ton of dead Nintendo IPs that can certainly benefit from this much more.

Hope this game does well to see fresh appearances for Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers, and the like.

@Henmii It did, but it was recently confirmed it's continuing in April with a new approach. Not much else is known about it though.

I don't even want a 2D Sonic game from Sonic Team.
They already showed with Sonic 4 and the Classic segments in Forces that they have no idea what that really is.

@Henmii It's not a show I'd recommend watching till the end.
Episodes 24-76 is what I consider to be the peak. It's still worth watching past that point, but the quality drops well before the series ended at episode 212.

@Agramonte Xseed is just a publisher for the west.
They aren't handling Cold Steel 3, btw.

If we stop buying Kemco games, they'll either stop making them or make better games.

It's a win-win.

They're not simply because of the huge second-hand market in Japan.

Making a digital-exclusive system is like asking most of Japan not to buy it.

Looks like Sun and Moon on an HD emulator, honestly.
Beyond that, It's about what I expected.

I'm ready for 6.5 minutes of Gen 1 pandering. And 30 seconds to show of the starters.

@blecch Yeah, but the changes made are definitely not worth the extra $11, as you said it's basically just the mobile version.

Price is steep for a PS1 port. It's the same on the PS4, but it was only $10 on the PS3/PSP/Vita.

Guess they do it because they know they can.

@jobvd Yeah, making 'games like the classics' is a very vague goal.

Lost Sphere had a lot of unneeded mechanics that felt like they were just there because other games had them. I'm at least a little hopefull this game won't fall down that trap since that's less likely to happen with an action RPG, but the company's current track record prevents me from being excited about this game.

@jobvd The magic of Chrono Trigger was that it was a fun and original idea for a JRPG.

SImply trying to replicate it will make a poor man's version of what made it good.

The only way to 'recapture' the magic of Chrono Trigger is to make a game with the same unique charm it had without having to rely on CT for the sake of marketing.

It's also possible the franchise is simply in a slump like Pokemon was in the mid-2000s.

But we're not going to know until the first media create records of YW4 sales.

It's been down for a while. Blasters 2 was a critical flop and Shadowside Anime only gets a fraction of the views the original series did.

I think YW4 will reinvigorate the franchise a bit, but it's going to stay a niche in both the west and Japan.

Best 2D Zelda, IMO
If this does well, I hope to see the Oracle games get a similar treatment.

These are clearly RPG Maker stock assets.
Did someone figure out how to port MV games to the Switch? If so, there are a lot better-looking titles I would have rather wished to see to showcase that.

@abbyhitter That's not saying much when the only games with voice acting in the series are spinoffs and one mainline entry.

And thus, over 200 VC games not available on Wii U and Switch are closed off from purchase.

I would make a 'traitor' joke, but if this is a better job opportunity for him, then I wish him the best of luck.

Frame rate definitely got the fix it needed. It's still there, but this is acceptable.

Really excited about this. Thank goodness Switch is region free.

@Joeynator3000 Yokai Watch 3 was two and a half years ago.
I think your confusing the localization schedule with the Japanese release dates/

I never actually properly tried a fishing game before. Was going to try Sega Bass Fishing before my Dreamcast laser burned out.
Might break up my backlog of RPGs and action games...

If I boycott every product just because their creator or producer has any political, religious, or philosophical belief I don't agree with I probably wouldn't be buying anything.

That said, responsibility needs to be taken on Creatures Inc part. At least something to show they're trying to simply act like the tweet was ever posted since deleting it.

@Yas GBA stopped getting first party support in 2006, and that was only a couple of games.
That's three years shorter than what the 3DS is currently at.

@DeltaPeng Install base only means something if the owners are buying games for the devices, which the numbers show very few 3DS owners still are.
Indies have already built a reputation of selling several times more on the Switch anyways. If a game is released on both the Switch and 3DS like Curse of the Moon then it's selling more on the Switch.

@CharlieSmile Epic Yarn is the only upcoming 3DS game in Japan. Not just first party, it's the only one altogether.

But why the 16:9 display?

I expect an epic final boss theme.
Don't let me down, Gordon.

@VotesForCows SRDude, one of the more popular YouTubers in the RPG Maker community, did a review for the game, but it's pretty negative.
That's the only English review of the game I'm aware of.

This game apparently has the Mario Maker problem on steroids.
You have to play 180 days consecutively to unlock everything, going by the Japanese version.

@foodmetaphors HDMI cable and the dock are not expensive to manufacture. The dock is nothing more than a USB-C to HDMI extender surrounded in plastic.

You are also only looking at very basic parts of the Switch's hardware. From what I know about the Switch's current hardware:
-The circuit board's vertical length is reached both ends of the system, meaning it will need to be repurposed and resized. This WILL need to be smaller, and it WILL be more expensive doing so.
-The current fan is 1/6th of the hardware. This fan WILL need to be smaller WHILE being just as, if not more, powerful. Meaning it will be a more expensive fan.
-The Switch's battery takes over 1/3rd of the consoles space. This WILL need to be smaller, while still being able to hold a reasonable amount of energy. At the very least, it's not going to be cheaper.

And that's only the cost problem. I already said in other posts the issues regarding a smaller screen and the removal of Joycons.

@MetaRyan They already do this in Japan.
Though it's closer to $230, I believe.

@leo13 If you've played Hyrule Warriors or BOTW in portable mode, then you would know the text for a lot of these games are already so small. Shrinking the screen would make some games illegible.

And a game's Resolution is code handled on the software side, you can't cleanly cut down a game's resolution without seeing plenty of visual artifacts.

@toffeecrit That's what I am thinking. Games like Labo, Super Mario Party, and 12 Switch wouldn't be playable on it, and they would need to state that on the box or something.

A smaller screen would also be an issue, since games like BOTW, Hyrule Warriors, and other ports from home consoles have absurdly small text that's already hard to read on the current screen.

It'll be a very messy change.

"Let's jam the same technology into a smaller space so it's cheaper."
That's not how it works.
That's not how any of this works.

The game is so unbalanced that farming is waste of time compared to other financial choices.
I think the game just got caught in post-Stardew hype.

@Moroboshi876 Game is on Steam and is a sequel to a PS4 VR game.
Microsoft doesn't seem to have any exclusive rights to the IP.

I could believe it, but at the same time this only occurred because two games were delayed.
One of them I know was heavily criticized for its performance, and both of them could be projects that were bigger than the company initially anticipated. So it's also possible they were delayed because simple because they are behind schedule.

Rather see them announce Mario Kart 9 than just adding more onto a two-year-old port.

Just don't make changes to the plot in the localization this time.

Is the last few Microsoft E3 presentations taught me anything, it's that just because someone had an exclusive reveal of a game, doesn't mean it will be exclusive to their platform.

My theories are that the files are from another game the Korean localization team worked on, or someone on the team was messing around with the engine and they got mixed in with the game's release on accident.

No Vanguard kills it for me.
