I picked up Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 in its last minutes of being on sale this morning. Don't really see a lot here I'm interested in.

I own all those RE games on Gamecube already. I'm gonna wait for the reviews to see if it's really worth it beyond portability.

Cal Arts grads are making games now? That's certainly a thing...

Why oh why did they decide to keep the 3rd person cam on this? It seems to be the stem of all the problems this is having. Not to mention, I'm playing Link's adventure, so I'd want to see it through his eyes. Not the eyes of a fly that's frantically buzzing around his vicinity.

I'll add that I'm not someone who gets motion sickness very often. I've played VR (only in first person) and it's worked fine for me.

Uh, when's the last time they actually announced something at E3? They've been announcing things in their E3 week Directs... but they haven't been at E3 for years now.

Greetings to those who will inevitably be led to this page from those random Taboola ads at the end of every article.

Looks like just another indie retro rogulelike on a console that has dozens of them. But this looks like one of the better ones, anyway.

@Silly_G
You're right about game card trickery (got the Asian version of FFX on pre-order, btw.) But this is a day-one downloadable patch that, presumably, they aren't going to (or can't) include on the card. This means, you're on the hook for all 44GB (presumably) of that patch you'll have to download.

So, aside from paying $100 for the "special" edition of this game, Warner Bros. wants you to pay an additional $10~$20 for extra storage to hold their bloody bloated fighting game.

@kobalt
And according to another article, the Day-One Patch is going to be double the size of the base game.

At $100, WB better give us a nice, MK branded 64gb SD card since that's what you'll need to hold this ridiculous amount of game data... even if you go physical ffs.

But GUISE!! GAEMS cost MOAR to make deez dayz!

It's totallee not just going to pay 4 teh CEOz bonuses.

Judging by the almost copyright infringing assets, odd translation and odd name overall, I'm gonna wager a guess that this is a Chinese/HK company.

Ah, yep.

Take the advice of others in this thread and only get the SEGA AGES releases. It's bad enough that SEGA is competing with themselves on this, but now it makes things all the more confusing to the average consumer.

So what was it for, then? Surely it wasn't just so the guy at the top could get a whole lot more money. That would be really stupid, right Bobby Kotick?

Lawyer: "Sir, that's blatant trademark infringement."
Event Staff: "But its for the childrens!"
L: "Uh, that doesn't matter, sir."
E: "But we're a family business!"
L: "Unless you're a family in China, we can still prosecute... Now get in the bin with those kids we sued for finding bugs in the Early Access Alpha version."

Very neat stuff! One of them looks like some kind of 3-evolution chain of a tiger-like Pokemon or something? Only the back sprites so I can't tell if that was a thing from another generation.

I've been playing as him for a few days and... he's interesting. I think I need to spend a bit more time to really master it's quirks, though I'm already seeing some people pull off some pretty neat strategies with him.

Oooh, Downwell! I loved this game on iOS, but always thought it would benefit from physical controls. And it didn't succumb to Cave Story and Goat Simulator's Indie Inflation! $3 well spent.

I think I got one of the Darksiders games on Xbox 360 for my birthday years ago. Never played it, and it got stolen with everything else.

I guess now's a good time as any to see what the fuss is about.

Pokemon: Let's Avoid Releasing a Main Series Game on a Home Console for a Little Bit Longer Since We're Apparently Allergic To That, Even if it's on a Hybrid Like the Switch.

It started when I broke my foot on Christmas Day in 2006. I bought ToeJam & Earl and SimCity with my very first Wii Points card. Thank goodness the controllers were wireless out of the box now!

I loved it. Sure it was a slow, agonizing trickle of content sometimes, but after taking my first teenage job, this was fairly regularly where some of my paycheck went. These were some of the first purchases I made with "disposable income." It was the perfect way to dip my toes into the waters of the past, and what turned me into the retro gamer I am today.

I closed out that account last week at a zero balance getting Space Harrier and one of the Art.Style games, as I backed up all 115 of those games to an SD Card, backed that up to my computer, and backed that up to an external drive.

So long, Wii Shop Channel. May your exclusives live on in some way for years to come.

I honestly couldn't care less. This flip-flop with EA for the past few console generations is stupid, to say the least, and considering the "positive" outcome is EA being able to put lootbox gambling in more kids hands, I kinda wish they'd just go away.

CONVERT
YOUR
REPLAYS!

...or lose them forever!

@roboshort
Well, yes, but it's more a matter of keeping things in good graces with your previous employer, not burning the bridges as it were, not to mention your professional reputation.

Can't fault a guy for taking a better opportunity elsewhere. Still, I'm surprised there isn't more of a non-compete agreement in the games industry, as there is in say broadcast TV.

@Gs69
It should work on anything bluetooth enabled. That includes any computer, android device, and anything they've released retro receivers for. So you could even use these on the (S)NES Classic, or a real (S)NES, for that matter.

@sdelfin
I'm talking about an early model 1 unit here. It seems I can never quite get a secure fit inside the port, and certain controllers will have either certain buttons reading wrong (like A pressing B or up pressing start) or nothing at all.

It could just be those controllers dying out, as I've had some newer, aftermarket 6-button controllers work just fine, but they do still slide out of the console fairly easily.

I've been waiting for this... my real Genesis seems to be having problems with the controller ports, so hopefully this will mean I can set these in and never have to worry about losing a good connection again.

Just in time for the Mega SG to come out...

Funny, because in-universe, Ash, having never won any championships or even staying with the same team for very long, would probably not be able to draw much cash as some kind of "celebrity endorsement."

@saintayu
Sorry, I realized the answer to my question seconds after I hit reply. Thanks though.

So it's the old Bayonetta treatment, eh? Hopefully they'll at least include a reversible cover.

"The Sega AGES line might seem like it is made up of quick and simple ports based on the classics of yesteryear..."

Uh, no it's not. Who ever thought this? The incredible amount of care and polish they put into each release is evident from the moment you hit the main menu! They add things only when they enhance the game play, and give you the option to turn it off for the purist experience. As retro "emulation" (which I use in the loosest terms since many times they're rebuilding them from the ground up) collections are concerned, M2's are best ones out there.

Are you sure you didn't get these confused with the Genesis Collection we also got on Switch for some reason?

Indie-inflation strikes again! Much like Cave Story, which used to be freeware, this game is going for $30 freaking dollars.

So much for impulse buying...

Didn't this game already have cross-play, just PS4 and a better friends list is the update here?

So... do we have any confirmation this is on Switch? Not seeing it anywhere... Are we just including this on the Nintendo blog for laughs/clicks?

Anyway, they better include Pantherk or it's a no-go for me.

I've got YouTube on about every device in my house. I use it on Switch, sure, but if it had never come out on it, I wouldn't have missed it.

Meanwhile, set-top boxes like Roku and Amazon are definitely not about games. While it's better than a phone, trying to play Tetris on a remote is impossible.

That said, it's very easy to turn an Amazon Fire into a great emulation station, especially if you've already done so on an Android device. They very sneakily left off an external slot slot with their new ones, but it's very very easy to get around that.

You're comparing two remake/releases with two (for their time) completely new titles.

I mean, the 3DS is destined for obsolescence (if not already there) with the Switch out now.

Thrash Rally? More like Trash Rally!

(The preceding commenter has not played this game yet but hasn't heard very good things about it.)

Seems legit... unlike Paprium, whose creators, Watermelon Co. held and underwhelming live event to show off the game, then all mysteriously disappeared. Hope you got your refund while you could...

@BionicDodo
I also remember, all throughout the Virtual Console on Wii U era, people were complaining about having to pay so much for individual titles. In fact, some said they wanted a "Netflix-style approach" to it. Now we have that, and people want the Virtual Console approach. (Granted, a slow trickle plagued both models.)

People just want to complain, and Nintendo's been an easy target for the bile.

C'mon... nobody else thought this?

Good grief. Never have I seen a website make such a big deal over home menu icons.

Hey! What a wonderful smashing day!

Oh cool! Looks grea-- and it's by Hyperkin. Never mind.

It's sad. Their guides helped me through Zelda OOT back in the day when I was 9 and big games like that scared me.

But that was "back in the day" now you only need hit Google to find a bevy of text and video based guides. It's growing anachronistic in this day and age.

And when they tried to start sweetening the deal with physical goodies... we all know how that turned out. Ain't that right, Prima Estus Flask?

@NEStalgia @Yosheel
Or to be called "Slapout"

Huh... I thought this was a UNIX system and I knew this...

@SmaggTheSmug
At the very least Bethesda could, y'know, fix some of those 7 year old bugs...

Also, the game centers around Creation Club? Considering one of the most popular mods for a while was one that disabled it, yeah I don't think so.

I came here expecting quotes from a certain film by Tommy Wiseau. Comments section, you did not disappoint.

@imgrowinglegs
Nothing wrong with that. Heck, my whole WiiU collection was stolen a few years ago, and the digital stuff was the only things easily recovered. I probably should buy more digital.
