@Ichiban I have a 14 inch Trinitron that isn’t too bad to carry around. It even has handles. I’m not a Melee head that needs to haul one everywhere though.
I play mostly docked on an OLED TV but it’ll definitely suck going down to cruddy lcd for the times I do play handheld. I’ll probably install an aftermarket OLED if that’s a solution. I wish they’d just offer a more expensive OLED variant at launch.
The UI wasn’t a problem to me. The problem was the game was too easy, even on hero mode, and you could get by using the same handful of echoes.
I also think the game would have been better off without the swordfighter form and balanced better around just using echoes. I hope they do that if they return to this kind of game ever again.
This did not seem like a great port to me from the demo. It’s so low res and the frame rate is terrible. Hopefully it gets a Switch 2 update and maybe I’ll give it a look.
The click is the jingle and it’s actually become one of my favorite ones. I get excited hearing it before new announcements.
GameCube is cool but I remember starting to get a little annoyed by it when I played mine a lot. It’s classic but it’s a little too long. A jingle should be quick.
Unless they’re matching ID to account names, they’re nothing stopping the winners of these tickets from just logging in to the account they bought tickets from.
Certainly did for me. I’m not buying one any time soon since I know I wouldn’t touch it once Switch 2 was out. I’d barely touch it as is. I don’t care about inaccurate emulation as I play old games on original hardware.
@Dee123 It’s Retro that made this game, not Rare and they should be credited considering THEY MADE THE GAME. This new team just ported it, and didn’t do the best job by the looks of it.

None of these things sound good to me. I wish it was more like Transformed.

Re: Marvel Rivals Dev NetEase "Already In Contact With Nintendo" About Switch 2
Game doesn’t look very appealing to me but I’ll give it a shot on Switch 2 at least once. My friends like it.

@ChibiNinja You did play the N64 version then, just emulated poorly.
Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?
The best version for me is the 3DS version with the restoration patch installed.

Re: Nope, Monster Hunter Wilds Producer Still Won't Spill The Beans On A Switch 2 Port
I didn’t like Wilds as much as Rise from the latest beta. It’s just more flashy with less movement options.
I’d love if Rise at least got an update on Switch 2 for 60fps.

Re: Banjo-Kazooie Has The Potential To "Rival 3D Mario", Says Ori Dev
If they did this they’d absolutely need to release it on Switch 2. Xbox aren’t interested in playformers and it would bomb there.

Maybe they shouldn’t have closed their own official services if they were really worried about that. Give me a break, Nintendo.

Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs
I don’t see why they keep doing this when it just makes negative headlines. Just credit everyone. No downsides.
