Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Kicks Off 35th Anniversary Celebrations In Style

Serpenterror

I'm okay if Sonic doesn't had any new big games for the 35th Anniversary, a remastered of Sonic Adventure 1 or 2 or a Sonic Advance or Rush collection would be enough. I feel it's better to save his big comeback (ala a new major Sonic game, Sonic Mania 2, Sonic Adventure 3, Sonic Advance 4, Sonic the Hedgehog 5, etc.) for the 40th Anniversary.

Re: An Overlooked Disney Collection From Digital Eclipse Has Been Rated For Switch

Serpenterror

The fact that it took them the entire Wii U and Switch lifespan to re-release a bunch of old NES roms for Nintendo is just odd. The very fact that these are not NSO release is also odd cause since it's not NSO that means no online play on any of the games that had multiplayer mode. Also why not include Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid in the collection too? Yes those are girlie games but they are still part of Disney's legacy, the fact that this collection is from Digital Eclipse means something bad is always bound to happen just like the Lion King, Aladdin, Jungle Book collection where we are still missing GBC, Game Gear, and Sega Master System versions of Aladdin and the Lion King. These fools don't know how to make a good collection.

Re: Nintendo's Investors Are Reportedly "Spooked" As Stock Slides

Serpenterror

1. Charging more for underpower hardware ($450 for a console that couldn't even do 4K 60fps is just wrong, something a $400 Steam Deck could do out of the box both in dock and portable mode) = Check

2. Charging more ($70-$80 for spinoffs like Mario Kart World and Kirby AirRiders are just lame, those prices should be for triple a mainline titles, not spinoffs) for overrated launch titles = Check

3. Forcing proprietary unproven (not trustworthy) storage to customer instead of continue using industry proven (more trustworthy) standard storage (accept only lesser known microSD Express card while moving away from more well known regular microSD and microSD Extreme card) = Check

4. Selling fake physical games (game key cards) for full price = Check

5. Thinking the customers are dumb enough to buy despite the brand (Nintendo), brand loyalty will fall if you keep on crapping = Check

6. Making crappy boring title that nobody ask for (Drag x Drive) = Check

7. Charging for game (Switch 2 Welcome Tour) that should had been free or bundle with the system = Check

8. Charging more for lazy upgraded ports (Switch 2 Edition of Switch 1 game with little or zero contents) that could run much better on Switch 2 just by playing the actual Switch 1 version on Switch 2 instead = Check

9. Only released one exclusive title (Donkey Kong Bananza, a Switch 1 game that got turn into a Switch 2 title at the last minute) and it's not even at launch = Check

10. Bricking customer's newly bought launch console just cause they could thus losing trust in the process = Check

11. Having jack nothing for the holiday except Switch 1 ports and old titles that were released on other platforms for years now = Check

12. Didn't do enough to make games affordable during the holiday especially Black Friday yet the expectation is high = Check

13. Purposely cutting out contents and selling it behind a paywall item (Boring desert music of Metroid Prime 4 only exist if you own one of the MP4 Amiibo otherwise the desert field is more super boring and doesn't had music in the actual game) = Check

14. Acting surprise when nobody could afford the trash (Switch 2) = Check

The fact that all these fails exist in 2025 alone is very SAD indeed especially for a so called innovative company like Nintendo. Imagine what garbage 2026 will bring if these continues.

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

Serpenterror

@Joeynator3000 Fire Emblem games play like actual war, once you lose someone you lose them for good and any story, character development, relationship, future redemption, or what if scenarios that would had happen to them died along with them. This is why completionist who play these games usually replay them several times to get all characters, scenarios, and endings.

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

Serpenterror

Charging too much for an underpower system with the promised of delivering more fake games ain't something people are excited for. Make real games, offer real quality, take real risk, and offer real innovations. Those are the things that makes Nintendo in the past the juggernaut they are, not this whiny lackluster boring shell of its former self. You only had one job to do with the Switch 2 Nintendo and you already blew it. All you need to do is make the Switch again but more powerful that's all you need to do with the Switch 2 but no we got to do fake games, we gotta focus on mobile releases, we gotta charge more for underpower hardware, we gotta make backwards compatibility super hard, we gotta stop supporting microSD card (the industry standard), we gotta create fomo practice, we gotta scam our customer, we gotta go digital. WTF is your problem?

Re: GameSir And Hyperkin Reveal A Modular Pad With GameCube And N64 Layouts

Serpenterror

Looks okay but the Genesis/Saturn and N64 button layout looks way too slanted, they are suppose to be layout like an arc going upwards, not a straight line. No Super NES and PlayStation (the two most successful consoles of all time) button layouts mean I will never buy these. They are focusing way too much on failed console's layouts (N64, GameCube, Genesis, Saturn, Xbox?) that it's not worth buying.

Re: Nintendo Switch's Hulu App Will Be Discontinued Next Month

Serpenterror

@Shade_Koopa Or smart tv. At this point dedicated consoles are just to going to die out just like dedicated arcades, dedicated handhelds, dedicated phones, dedicated PCs, dedicated media boxes, dedicated plug and plays, and dedicated TVs. Dedicated stuffs that use to do just one thing are going extinct now. Nowadays everything are hybrids (stuff that does more than one things) and that's why everything is expensive (cause you buy those stuffs that came with more stuffs you never ask for). Switch is hybrid, Steam Deck is hybrid, PCs are hybrid (you can build one that had the best and worst of three worlds: Mac, Windows, and Linux when originally you could only have one), smart TVs are hybrids, cars are hybrids, smartphones are hybrid, tablets are hybrid, arcade 1Ups are hybrid, laptops are hybrid, PS2-PS3 & PS5 are hybrids, and Xbox's entire existence is hybrid.

Re: Capcom Arcade Stadium Physical Features Five Cover Options, But Which Is Your Favourite?

Serpenterror

@wizzgamer The Argos physical release of both only gives you a code in the box so you still have to download all the 64 games. The purpose of buying a physical edition is so you don't have to download anything. This Limited Run Games edition will include all 32 games on the cartridge. Likely they'll announce a physical version for the second one later this year so that all 64 games will be on cartridges.

Re: Opinion: Wishlisting Games On Switch eShop Is A Game In Itself

Serpenterror

I hate Nintendo's wishlist limit on their eShop, you could only wishlist up to 200 games and after that you won't be able to do it anymore. Over time games that I want to buy didn't get wishlisted and then eventually forgotten. On Steam and GOG you could wishlist as many games as your heart contend and buy those games when you are ready. They need to raise the limit to at least 800 games.

Re: Opinion: Metroid II Doesn't Care If Samus Lives Or Dies

Serpenterror

It actually make sense why her death from the NES to Game Boy are different when she die in those games.

In the NES version Samus arrive at Zebes wearing a very vulnerable low budget space suit so overtime it could easily break apart if she doesn't find upgrades to keep it preserve.

In the Game Boy version, Samus is now in the Metroid's home planet. The Metroids had the ability to contaminate and suck her energy even if she wore her upgraded space suit from the first game. If she die, her suit got dissolve by the atmosphere of SR388 and the Metroids themselves as they could easily suck her energy through the suit like how the hatchling did to her in the third game.

In Super Metroid, Samus return back to Zebes again this time with a more powerful space suit which explains why her death scene is more dramatic now as the space suit when lost of all its energy exploded. The original one did not have the ability to explode as its a cheap low budget one so when she died it just got blown to bits but this new one is more higher budget and had a better protective feature.

Re: "This Just Didn't Fit Into My Gaming Lifestyle" - Hideki Kamiya Isn't Happy About Switch 2's Lack Of A D-Pad

Serpenterror

These are what he needs for Switch 2 for now as these adapters could allow you to use your Switch 1 bluetooth joycon things such as the Moba Pads to work for Switch 2 but only the bluetooth battery back-up ones. Non bluetooth battery back-up joycons like Hori D-Pad and the Split Pad Pro won't work using them.

Either that or wait for CRKD Nitro Deck 2 so to get that Steam Deck experience on Switch 2.

Re: Feature: I Play This One Particular SNES Game Every Xmas As A Personal Tradition

Serpenterror

I play my Super NES copy of Street Fighter II Turbo every year too since 1993. For some reason the game never gets old every time I play it. The last time I play it was on July 2025 when I was testing some new bluetooth controllers from 8BitDo for my Super NES and Analogue Super Nt. Before that in March, May, and July of 2024, I play it again to test some Super NES clone consoles from Hyperkin, Klassiq II, and Retro-Bit that I got from AliExpress. In 2023, I play it to test the 16-Bit HD Ultra Pocket Super NES Retroad handheld, a terrible portable Super NES clone handheld that plays Super NES and Super Famicom cartridges.

Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty's Nintendo Release Is Apparently On Target For 2026

Serpenterror

No leave the Switch 2 alone, we don't need any Call of Duty game for Switch 2 especially since y'all can't even bring the main game to our large audience. Just keep going extinct. The Switch and Switch 2 are doing okay without these Call of Duty trash polluting the Switch 2 library. We already got Metroid Prime 4, we don't need any lame military trash on Switch 2.

Re: Persona 3 Reload Switch 2 Performance Update Now Live, Targets 60fps In Docked Mode

Serpenterror

Like I said before, had they delay this garbage to this exact month they could had easily release this game in a more playable state than their tone deaf day one release edition like c'mon we already got Persona 3 Portable, take the time to fix this whatever version and just make it a more polish day one release but nope they wanted the controversy, they wanted to make excuses, and now we finally got the "it's about time version of the game" that we should had gotten to begin with. Just awful timing, well it's here, it's the version that we should had gotten, should we jump for joy now? Seems like there's no hype to jump for joy at.

Re: Rumour: A Game-Key Card Alternative? Nintendo May Have Smaller Switch 2 Carts In The Works

Serpenterror

This fixes nothing as long as Nintendo doesn't let go of those fake cartridge known as game key card. Those should never exist. Scummy game developers will choose game key card every time cause of the cheaper fake quality than the more expensive valuable real game cartridge. Not getting rid of game key card won't fix anything. Nintendo at this point is a fake company making fake products. They are worst than a Chinese scam company at this point. At least the Chinese scam company would sell their fake product very cheap, game key card ain't cheap and aren't real.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Switch 1 & 2 Physical Release Does Not Include Mortal Kombat 4 On The Game Card

Serpenterror

@Toastmaster Those are mostly indie games cause they don't make games using the same dev kits as actual console developers (like Capcom, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, and Sega), they used Unreal Engine or Unity and games from those tend to have issue with any home console if not optimize properly since Unreal Engine and Unity are more PC developer software.

If the indie dev are lazy by just blindly porting it to consoles then the game will run like crap on consoles, if the game are well optimize for consoles then the game will be more well received on consoles. That's the only reason why most indie devs skipped consoles cause optimizing means they had to invest in more money and buy the actual dev kit to do it something a majority of indie devs just don't have the time or money to do.

Yes all six modern consoles does support Unreal Engine and Unity but only certain versions and indie will have to really sacrifice or optimize a few features or downgrade to get those running properly on console hence why those got PC release first or stuck on there cause they were made with PC in mind. Games made through Unreal Engine or Unity means PC will always get first dips on the game. While that's a win on PC's part, it's also a lost if the dedicate gamers or customers can't find those games since PC also had too many piles of garbage games litter on there.

Another issue are storefronts, not every game is available on Steam, GOG or Epic Game Store and some indie devs will have to really push their game as a free to play model or early builds to get customer interest just to get any kind of attention but this also they had to spend a lot of money through advertising and some just don't have the money to do so.

Re: Fire Emblem Shadows Makes Metacritic's "Worst Games Of 2025" List

Serpenterror

@Alex79uk They are all trash and even if they're not then likely they are just trash port of those that are already good like Sonic and Rayman, those game are always good but they don't originate on mobile. Any game that had gacha, is free to play, had in-game ads, had micro-transaction, is a live service, was made with phone in mind, or had loot box are automatically trash by default.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Switch 1 & 2 Physical Release Does Not Include Mortal Kombat 4 On The Game Card

Serpenterror

@Yalloo This is intentional, the Atari 50 collection is not. The Atari 50 collection was actually more well handle and all the DLCs included are games that were not purposely held back whereas the MK Legacy Kollection those games are held back, people were asking for those and they aren't getting them whereas nobody knew what would be included in the Atari 50 collection. Every DLC included in the Atari 50 collection are a surprise, if this MK Legacy Kollection even will have DLCs then it won't be a surprise cause those are games that we should had gotten to begin with hence not really a surprise, it's more a "well it's about time" situation. The only few things that were a surprise with the MK Legacy Kollection is the WaveNet version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and maybe the Sega 32X version of Mortal Kombat II and that's it. That's still not good enough though.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Switch 1 & 2 Physical Release Does Not Include Mortal Kombat 4 On The Game Card

Serpenterror

These guys had break every single promise they said they will include about this awful Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection.

  • The collection was going to have rank online. Broken it won't have rank online.
  • The collection claim to be the most komplete ever, yet it's missing so many versions of games, even fan favorites like MKII Game Gear, Ultimate MK3 Genesis, Mortal Kombat Trilogy N64, and MK Gold.
  • All games (except the handheld versions) will have online play yet the Switch version of Mortal Kombat 4 isn't even getting online play.
  • They said that all games will be included on the game cartridge a few months ago yet Mortal Kombat 4 is missing from the cartridge version of the collection.
  • Show the Game Gear version of Mortal Kombat II in their launch trailer yet didn't even include the game in the actual release.
  • The Switch 2 standard version is $10 more yet didn't even get the complete version of the game both digitally and physically.
  • The Switch standard version is the same price as the other versions yet won't get online play with MK4 unlike the rest. Technically the Switch version should had been $40 instead of $50 and the Switch 2 version should had been $50 instead of $60. Digital Eclipse seem to be successful at ripping off their customers and people are giving them a pass.
