Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES Library With Three More Games

Serpenterror

@nhSnork The thing about Sega Genesis NSO is that not many third party want to put their Genesis/Mega Drive games on there. They rather sell their games via a collection than through a subscription service. Only way they could be included on NSO is if Nintendo pay for them to be there. As for the Sega Genesis Classics Collection, that was delisted cause Sega's partnership with D3T is over. I wouldn't worry about the Sega Genesis stuffs, though delisted Sega would always resell them again through other means.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

@VinzClortho1981 Game Key Card is terrible and they will de-value physical gaming forever if they continue to exist. We're not just complaining for the sake of complaining, game key cards are actually bad. A cartridge that doesn't had the actual game in there, still force you to download it, eat up your storage, making your data usage more expensive, and even after downloading it still forces you to have the cartridge in the system in able to play it is a scam. In a way, it's not a true digital download, it's not a true physical release either.

A true digital download doesn't required the physical cartridge to play, a true physical release doesn't required downloading the full game and eating more of your storage to play. It's fake and the way you and people like you embrace it disgust me. The people who prefer digital download wants convenience, the people who prefer physical release wants preservation. Game key card offered neither. It's not convenience cause you can't just play the game whenever you want even though you already download it, you had to force that cartridge in there every time. It's not preservation either cause for one it still eats up your storage and the game isn't even on the cart. It's the worst of both worlds.

Re: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Switch Physical Release Announced, Pre-Orders Open Soon

Serpenterror

@chickje This release actually makes more sense though considering you get over 30 games on it. In past Capcom collections for PS1, PSP, PS2, Xbox, GameCube, GBA, and other consoles they usually include just 3-15 titles, most which are not their arcade versions and go for around $30-$40.

This one and the 1st Capcom Arcade Stadium only cost $45 with over 30 games plus you not only have the NA version but the Japanese version as well. In past collections, Capcom never include two versions of a game so if the other region's version had exclusive contents then you just had to make the best of it. If anything this collection offer a better value than past collections as this is the first time most of these games had definitive physical release.

Three Wonders had a physical released back then but only for PS1 and only in Japan, to be able to play that game everywhere else you had to mod your PS1 or used emulators. While Saturday Night Slam Masters had two console ports both of those are just ports, they weren't the arcade version while Eco Fighter only had a PSP collection release, you can only play single player on it whereas on Switch you can do co-op with ease.

Re: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Switch Physical Release Announced, Pre-Orders Open Soon

Nice to finally had a true physical collection of these games now, this is the only way to get the arcade version of Saturday Night Slam Masters, Eco Fighters, and Three Wonders in physical form. Also nice that Limited Run Games is handling this cause knowing Capcom had this being release by them they'll likely only put half of those games on the cartridge while the other half is code in the box which would de-value the collection indefinitely.

@PKDuckman A.K A. just means also known as, it's weird how they put it on the list but these games in the collection only goes by their Japanese title so if only the Japanese names are listed you won't know what they are, it's suppose to be like this:

  • ブロックブロック A.K.A Block Block (1991)
  • ザ・キングオブドラゴンズ A.K.A The King of Dragons (1991)
  • ナイツオブザラウンド A.K.A Knights of the Round (1991)
  • マジックソード A.K.A. Magic Sword (1990)
  • ヴァンパイア セイヴァー ロード オブ ヴァンパイア A.K.A Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire (1997) or Darkstalkers 3 in North America.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Serpenterror

Perhaps getting into the movie business is not Nintendo's best strength. After a third movie they really need to get back to what they do best and just give us a new 3D Super Mario Odyssey sequel. While I like these Super Mario movies I love the games even more and at this point I found the games to be losing focus due to Nintendo putting all their efforts on the movies instead. If anything Nintendo had three other IPs (Metroid, Fire Emblem, and Star Fox) that they could had easily turn into great movies but knowing what they do now I don't think they would be able to make it work.

Re: Sonic Frontiers "Definitive Edition" Has Been Rated In Korea

Serpenterror

Sega would remastered almost every Sonic game under the sun except Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. I wonder what vendetta they had with those two games. It's like every time if you ask them about either of those games getting remaster or remake they always reply as if you had just murdered one of their daughter or something. It's never a positive response.

Re: Review: Mega Man Star Force: Legacy Collection (Switch) - A Well-Presented Package Of An Underrated DS Trio

  • Mega Man for Game Gear
  • Mega Man Soccer for Super NES
  • Mega Man: Chase and Battle for PS1
  • Mega Man: Battle Network - Battle Chip Challenge for GBA

Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Gets First Update Mid-April, Improves Rewind & Saves

Serpenterror

@beartown You just have to not use it then, rewind feature had been on emulator since the dawn of time. The only company that does not use that feature ever on a collection is Nintendo as every one of their collection does not have qol feature like rewind, save-states, and filters. The only few times Nintendo did use it was on their NES and Super NES Mini plug and play consoles or Virtual Consoles otherwise yeah everything else plays just like the original. Collections like the Super Mario 3D All-Stars and the recent release emulated versions of Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green will never in this lifetime had those qol features. The only way you will get qol on those is if you play them on an emulator via a non-Nintendo device.

Re: Nintendo Misses Out On Top 10 In Metacritic's 16th Annual Game Publisher Rankings

Serpenterror

Drag x Drive and the Welcome Tour would had been in the green if those were bundle as free software for the Switch 2 instead of been full price garbage. The reason why those are garbage is cause nobody is buying them and they will litter and horde retail space causing an unhealthy atmosphere for shoppers and customers.

The reason for a physical software to not become garbage is to persuade customers to buy them no matter what and charging full price for those are just not the way to do it. I know I would never buy those two awful games in my life time but if those were already bundle with the console, then I at least get something to try. In my life time the only way terrible games like Capcom Fighting Evolution, Final Fantasy II, Wii Sports, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 (I only like Sonic 2 and onward but never part 1), MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels, Columns, Zelda II - The Adventures of Link, Street Fighter One and more manage to get to my grasp was cause they were either bundle with good games in a collection or came bundle with the console itself.

I never own single copy of those terrible games: Final Fantasy II, Sonic 1, Street Fighter 1, and Zelda II only exist on my Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Sonic or Zelda collection only. If it weren't for those collection or bundle I would had never bother buying or even playing them.

Re: Europe Might Be Forcing Nintendo To Revise The Switch 2

Serpenterror

Tbh this should had always been the norm when it comes to handheld. It just doesn't make sense to make batteries unreplaceable in the first place. I own various handhelds in the 90s to the 2000s and all of those allow you to change the batteries with ease. Not sure why the 2010s and 2020s kept making things harder, not smarter.

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 4's Full Movie Cast List Has Been Revealed

Serpenterror

I'm glad Jim Carrey is returning, I was afraid he would retired and a new actor play Dr. Robotnik. While having an actual overweight actor to portray Dr. Robotnik would make more sense, the overall personality and comedic attitude of the first three film's Dr. Robotnik would be heavily missed so I'm glad Jim is sticking around.

Re: Saudi Investment Firm Acquires A Significant Number Of Capcom Shares

Serpenterror

Yes hopefully this means that crossplay would happen soon for the various fighting collections Capcom released. The Saudi prince is a fan of crossplay and he had friends all over the deserts that he want to play with so having crossplay is a must which is why KOFXV and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves had crossplay so hopefully we get crossplay for the Capcom Fighting Collection 1 & 2 and the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection as well.

Re: Chained Echoes Dev Is Filing A Lawsuit Against Physical Distributor

Serpenterror

@Aneira Also add these to that list too:

  • StoneAgeGamer = green flag (probably the best aftermarket partner to buy from with a few high quality product. I bought my Switch GBros., my Genesis and SNES rom dumper, GB/GBC rom dumper, and Action Replay stuff from these guys and had no issue).
  • Retro-Bit = green flag (it's hit or miss at most cause they're cheap, products are low quality and reprints often had issue but you get what you pay for).
  • Play-Asia = green flag (never had any issue with these guys, they knew how to do business and communicate with customers).
  • VGP = yellow flag (it took over a year just to get my copy of Rage of the Dragons Neo, it finally came though).
  • ModRetro Games = green flag (Buck and the Curse Cartridge came faster than I expected it to, these guys are amazing).
  • Bitmap Bureau = green flag and great recommendation too if you just want to purchase the rom and not the physical edition.
  • Skybound Games = yellow flag (It took two years to get Skullgirls: 2nd Encore for Switch back in 2018 but it finally came).
  • WaterMelon/Magical Game Factory = Big yellow flag (could be red flag soon too if their next game is as complicated to preserve as their last one. While Pier Solar I had no issue with, their Paprium debacle makes me trust them even less now. Took forever for my copy of Paprium to arrive and even when it does arrive, I couldn't even easily dump the rom for play on my MegaSD flash cartridge for Analogue Mega Sg. These guys really do not want anyone to preserve their game).

Re: Chained Echoes Dev Is Filing A Lawsuit Against Physical Distributor

Serpenterror

I'm glad he's going after them, they had taken my money but never shipped out anything. The last time they gave me anything was a Steam key for the game, a game which I already got digitally on Steam and Switch anyways. Also for the next physical distributor he should choose either Play-Asia, Pix'n Love, or Limited Run Games. I know not many people like Limited Run Games but they do shipped stuff, they aren't just going to wait for an eternity on those unlike this First Press scamming company.

Re: Review: Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake (Switch 2) - Great Atmosphere But Never Quite Comes Into Focus

Serpenterror

It's a good remake but the fact that it's a game key card means I would only limit to buying this on Steam and nowhere else. For third party titles, that's where my gaming future will be at sadly. Switch 2 is just for my Switch 1 games and Nintendo only games, provided they put all their future games on game key card as well then they may as well lose me as their customer.

Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Introduces The Voices Of Yoshi, Wart, And The Honey Queen

Serpenterror

@a1904 Cause Illumination is an American animation studio so of course it make sense to cater this to American first. Besides the movie itself would be dubbed by different voice-actors in other regions too. Japanese, French and Spanish will have their own voice dubbed version while third world countries like SEA, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, and the Middle East would just take one of those dubbed and add subtitles to them instead.
