Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Officially Revealed For Switch

Serpenterror

@wolvesboy Nintendo ain't dumb you know, Nintendo knew that NSO had save-states and more than one save files so they choose to release these Pokemon titles as actual digital games so that they could keep the single save file nature of these games. Nintendo had always wanted to limit Pokemon as a single save file title and putting those on NSO means that could easily ruin the trend and could even open to exploit which Nintendo doesn't want to see happen. Nintendo also knew that the older games like Pokemon Red and Blue had exploits and glitches that give players could easily take advantage of within those games hence why they didn't choose to re-release those but choose Fire Red and Leaf Green instead.

While I do like that they are offering these for purchase rather than for NSO, choosing code-in-the-box for the physical release even if it's just Japan only is scummy in itself. It's like they are forcing their Japanese audience to prefer digital when it's obviously clear that many would rather prefer a native physical release instead.

Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is Getting A Physical Switch Release

Serpenterror

@EarthboundBenjy You sent your issue to the wrong company. While it's true that these are UbiSoft games, the emulators being used for these are from Atari, they probably used the same cheap emulators they did for the Bubsy Collection, TMNT Cowabunga Collection, and Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. Any emulation issues with this collection, sent it to them, not UbiSoft. UbiSoft only own the IP, they don't handle the emulations.

This is unlike the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collections and the Capcom Fighting Collections where both Konami and Capcom were the ones actually handling the emulations instead of a third party. Still though yeah this is a very bad response from UbiSoft, even if they don't handle the emulation of these themselves they could had forward your complaint to Atari. Very unprofessional of them not to do so. I guess they fired all their professional associates and only had clowns running the company now.

Re: Surprise! Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Arrives On Switch This Week

Serpenterror

Nice, I'm glad it's a collection of the first game and the fact that they also include the prototype Super NES version and the GBC version too even though it's not really a port of the first game but was a totally different game. They should do this for the anniversary of the second game too where it's a collection of Rayman 2 from GBC, PS1, N64, PS2, DS, 3DS, and Sega Dreamcast with again the GBC version being a different game altogether and was not a port.

Re: Konami And M2 Announce New Goemon Switch Collection, Here Are The 13 Retro Titles Included

Serpenterror

@TrueBlueYoshi Reason is because 90% of these games were never released outside Japan. Of all these 13 games only two were released outside Japan so far, the Game Boy title Ganbare Goemon: Kurofune Tō no Nazo released as Mystical Ninja starring Goemon for Game Boy and the Super Famicom title Ganbare Goemon: Yukihime Kyuushutsu Emaki released as Legend of the Mystical Ninja for Super NES worldwide. A majority of these Goemon games does already had fan translations in English; however, Konami can't use any of those English fan translations for their collection so I'm afraid this collection would probably remain a Japan exclusive.

Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026

Serpenterror

Good, so does console archive means we will finally see some console ports of arcade games coming to Switch 2? That must mean games like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (Sega Genesis), Mortal Kombat Gold (Dreamcast), Soul Blade (PS1), Soul Calibur (Dreamcast), Tekken 3 (PS1), Rival Schools (PS1), Star Gladiator (PS1), Power Stone 2 (Dreamcast), Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold (PS1/PS2), and Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha (PS1) may still had a chance as most of these were better on console anyways with more contents and easier to emulate than their arcade MAME/FBNeo counterparts.

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Sales Have Got Off To A Slow Start

Serpenterror

The issue with releasing this game now is that not many people knew of Metroid enough to want to buy this game. Nintendo should had kept this game in development and polish it some more while giving us Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3 Remastered first before releasing this fourth entry. Releasing this now makes people question (especially the new generations of players) why we got this first before Prime 2 & Prime 3 Remastered.

Re: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Nintendo Store Event Announced (US)

Serpenterror

A Pokémon Anniversary Collection for Switch that includes the original and their remakes (Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal from Game Boy and GBC to Pokémon Fire Red, Leaf Green, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver from GBA and DS) on there would be awesome. The two regions (Kanto and Johto) and their 252 creatures that started it all should be celebrated.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations

Serpenterror

My guess as to why this game didn't sold that well enough may be due to two reasons:

1. Sega did not make this as a Sonic with Sega guest characters racing game, instead they make it as a Sonic with random guest characters racing game. Most fans simply choose not to buy it cause of the randomness of the other unnecessary IPs especially those no name IPs like SpongeBob and Minecraft that had no association or history with Sega. A comparison to this is Super Smash Bros. When Nintendo included guest characters in their games, it's usually because they had a history or connection with that guest character such as Sonic, Simon Belmont, Cloud Strife, Mega Man, and Bayonetta. Here in Sonic CrossWorlds, it looks like Sega just randomly plock whatever license they could get their hands on which add no importance to the game. Pac-Man and Joker makes sense but characters like SpongeBob and Minecraft makes no sense at all.

2. Delaying the release of the Switch 2 version, by not releasing the Switch 2 edition on the same date as the Switch 1 edition, most Switch 2 players would just buy the Switch 1 or other versions instead thus Sega lose sales when the Switch 2 version did release. By that time there's no point in buying it as the hype is already over.

Re: "The Delays Have Been Unacceptable" - The Wait Continues For Rock It Games' Croc Physical

Serpenterror

Say what you will about Limited Run Games but at the very least they delivered what they say they'll do even if the end product is a bit disappointing at times. My physical edition of Star Ocean: First Departure R from Limited Run Games which I pre-ordered five months ago had already arrived but my physical edition of Chained Echoes which I pre-ordered from those scumbags at First Press Games four years ago still to this day had not arrive at all and there are no updates. To get updates you had to jump through various hoops to find it and it's likely a TBA update at most.

Then we got VGP of Canada. Now I do still like these guys, these are the same guys that got physical release of Lunar 1 & 2 in stocks when Amazon sucks so they did shipped those at reasonable price but with the recent handling of Rage of the Dragons NEO physical release which kept getting the silent treatment and delays, I'm starting to think they are turning to scumbags mode as well. Hopefully they got this through soon as I just recently sent them an email requesting an update of the game. At this point when it comes to limited releases, only three I could trust now: Play-Asia, Limited Run Games, and Pix'n Love games. My only disappointment with Play-Asia is that they don't accept Klarna or any other quad pay options other then PayPal and PayPal as of now are scumbags themselves and they shutdown my PayPal account after I made over $35,000 on eBay from clearing and selling away all my basement craps.
