What a played out list this is. So many interesting games omitted in favour of 3 separate street fighter and donkey kong games.
I wish the writer would do a modern list that acknowledges 25 years worth of rom hacks and translations. So many absolutely incredible games have been released since (fire emblem games, secret of mana 2, front missions to name some very big hitters)

Damn! I remember doing this back in the day.

Article about AI. Yay.

@LexKitteh I was going to mention this too. The stereoscopic 3D effect is incredibly impressive for emulating this system.

September 3004

@Folkloner they’re practically all old ps4 games being sold at 4 times the price. If you’re the kind of person who likes to comment on gaming websites, then chances are you wil have already owned these games at some point.
I hope this explanation helps you to understand where I’m coming from. All the best.

There’s only one proper game available for the system and they ***** that up. Classic Nintendo. They absolutely nail it one generation then absolutely sabotage themselves the next.

Truly horrific (and most certainly ai generated)

I’ll pick it up next year when it’s £10, play it for 40 minutes and decide it’s pretty w***

I definitely see GTA 6 releasing on the Switch 3 and whatever other consoles are popular in 2034

Strong garbage pail kids energy here

Not having the dark spire at number 1 (or even on the list) is tantamount to a hate crime. I’m deleting this website. GOOD DAY.

Is this news? You literally mentioned this fact in detail during your review of the game last week.

Going to plump for that premium version because the keyring alone will be worth a million pounds in a matter of months. Such incredible bonuses. Well done nintendo.

So pumped for the smurfs magical village party game. Definitely a game of the year candidate.

I worked at game for a while. When I first arrived I was given a locker and to my surprise, whoever had my locker before me had left a 1 litre bottle of absinthe in there! I told no one and spent the next month drinking it during lunch and toilet breaks. It took the edge off the job for a while and life was fine. Then my long time girlfriend dumped me and the twin towers were destroyed. I couldn’t bare working there but I couldn’t face quitting. Christmas came around and a man came in and purchased 12 brand new PS2s. I was working the till. I asked him if he wanted to buy a loyalty card for £2 because he’d get £30 back in points. He wasn’t interested. The consoles were prizes or something. He suggested I used my card to have his points and in the moment I said yes because if I didn’t, I’d have been ***** over for my low swipe rate. At the end of that month I received a voucher in the post for £40 and a letter of thanks from game for being such a great customer. I knew it was over.
I went to work, got sacked for gross misconduct and was banned from setting foot in every game store in the uk.
I still occasionally go into game stores.

@CaleBoi25 spirit tracks was a vibe. I won’t hear any different.

I like this article. It reminds me of uk game mags from the 90’s. 10/10.

@Sisilly_G tough crowd

Waybackward, more like.

“I know you’ve already bought this game once but buy it again and we might consider making a new game”

Yeah. ***** off capcom.

Some strong tropical freeze energy coming through in those graphics. I like it

I couldn’t watch that vid due to the small boy constantly interrupting Alex when he was talking.

@Thief I never said they should lose it. I’d just like to see them put some focus on some of the older franchises that have been dead in the water. Having Intelligent Systems only work on fire emblem games is also disappointing. What about a new advance wars (not the remake by WayForward, but a proper new entry in the series) or something new entirely? Or force them at gunpoint to make a really good paper Mario game.

Like someone else mentioned, F-Zero. There’s a game that needs to be brought back.

@SilverM fair enough. Not going to argue the toss. I’ve been waiting for a pikmin game forever so that’s very welcome. I’ll believe prime 4 when I see it. I just feel like I’m bored to tears of the only big flagship titles being Pokémon and fire emblem.

It just feels a bit uninspiring to me. The last few years have lacked the Nintendo magic in my opinion. I’m probably just old.

@ElRoberico source? I’d kill for this. The absolute pinnacle of the franchise IMO. Why they never revisited the giant procedural map idea in subsequent instalments confuses me.

Good. Nintendo have gotten pretty lazy the past few years just churning out the same IPs and letting others rot.

Lose the fire emblem and Pokémon for a while and get me a punch-out, 3D Mario, pikmin, metroid prime or heavens forbid - something brand new!

@ketrac sound. Thanks for that informative piece of information.

@TheCrabMan get back in the sea

Platinum make amazing games but they’re a ***** company. I backed that wonderful 101 kickstarter, got utterly shafted on import tax that was never mentioned and then they released it as a budget title anyway! Utter scumbags. I’d love to play bayonetta 3 but I’m not going to enjoy it because of the company that made it so It’ll be a hard pass from me.

All that total crap for a mere £70 extra! Any single one of those pieces of tat wouldn’t look out of place on the shelf of poundland.

I’m assuming this is just a direct port of the ps3 version?

@signosis but why PAL? I mean… sure. But no. It runs slowly and has a squished picture. It’s abysmal.

They are using the PAL version?!

And suddenly it makes sense. All these years, sonic team have been attempting to create a 3D platformer based on sonic when what they really needed to do was create a 3D racing gaming and just ditch the notion of platforming!

Imagine a 3D sonic game where the focus was on navigating the levels using some kind of interesting drift, boost mechanic and it wasn’t bogged down with having road stops of enemies and superficial platforming sections.

Genius. Huge respect to the maker of that track for showing the way.

I am hoping the snes library gets updated with 3 new unpopular games that received below average review scores when they were first released. Maybe:

Aero the Acrobat 2
Rise of the Robots
Mario is missing

Three games that are sure to challenge even the most dedicated Nintendo fan to bother updating the app.

This looks a little bit lame. ‘Being inspired by’ is one thing but this looks like it falls into the category of ‘bad copy’. The characters don’t look as interesting, the graphics don’t have the polish of an old ps1 game, the environments look boring.

However… it has made me want to play metal gear solid 1 again so I owe it that.

@HedgehogEngine hey! And thanks for necroresponding! Yeah, I actually did notice this. The poly count is lower, lack of environmental assets, the textures are very basic and lack the detail of the wii u switch versions. Still, The lighting can do a lot with this type of thing so i’m quite excited. Also, I'm also really glad that Nintendo saw my post, realised the logic of what I proposed and went ahead and made it into a thing.

@HedgehogEngine

Ahem…

Classic lame nintendo. They are making these courses and these asset (I assume) wouldn’t be a huge job for a small team within nintendo to port over to the switch version as either paid or free DLC.

I mean, it’s already there. It’s been made, players tested, the textures, lighting, geometry are all on a par with the switch. Why not just put it in? It’s not as if mario kart 8 isn’t one of the best selling Nintendo games of all time.

As usual, very weak.

What is this pointlessness? Sticking some trash 3D model in a ball and charging a fiver. This onslaught of nonsense is seriously undermining a potentially very good game.

I have not played this game or octopath traveller but I imagine it is either worse, better or as good as the that game.

What a total dildo

I don’t know what Haven Park is, but I know I hate it. Could they be any more brazen with the way they ripped off A Short Hike’s logo? And that crappy bird character is a really ***** rip-off of ASH’s protagonist too. Weak.

I don’t really get why this is such an issue for people anymore. It’s easy as ***** to download and play the translated rom so if anyone really cares, they can spend 10 mins learning how to do it and then just play it.

@Bobb one of, if not THE most underrated game on the super famicom. That game is light years ahead of most other titles released at that time (with the exception of tactics ogre)

The best 10 SNES RPGs (including fan translations):

Final fantasy 3/6
Chrono trigger
Bahamut lagoon
Tactics ogre
Chaos Seed
Earthbound
Fire emblem 4
Seiken densetsu 3
Tales of phantasia
Dragon quest v

I think it looks horrible. Nothing marries well graphically and it looks flat and cut out.

I want to buy resident evil 4 but I don’t really have the available funds and it could be literally weeks before it’s reduced again

You missed the best game: final fantasy III/VI SNES.
