If allowing to save anywhere was a better option, they could have implemented it in the original, it's not like that is some kind of innovation. Spaced out save points is a feature that brings tension. I don't really like calling the removal of features a "quality of life" improvement. Sure, you can argue that it's a better design choice, but they didn't work hard to implement it.

Great timing, I just finished the Lost Crown.

I'm getting SMTV:Vengeance in June.

Both companies' policies are sane, so nothing strange about them not agreeing.

@Ralizah Ok, yes, in that case I agree.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Totally agree. Regardless of the system, be it the NES or the PS5, you can always adapt your ambition to the system at hand. Or make something the system cannot handle, as in this case apparently. I understand when it happens in the case of ports from a more powerful system to a less powerful one, but in this case there is no excuse.

@Ralizah The reason they put it on the Switch is obviously that that's where the audience was, in combination with some exclusivity money from Nintendo, I suppose.

A fantastic game, still is. The only flaw is you start with almost no energy after resurrection, and have to shoot flies for something like 10 minutes to fill up your energy tanks every time you die. Other than that, excellent game!

MH3U and Generations Ultimate are probably my favourites. Rise is nice, especially with Sunbreak, but it has evolved into more of a generic action game at this point, starting with World. I get it, that's the only way to increase the audience, but it's not really for me anymore.

@HeadPirate Ok thanks a lot, I didn't know that, that's a crazy law! I can think of a number of cases where that could lead to absurd results. I suppose it would be possible for programmers to develop the code in other countries that don't have this law.

@HeadPirate Yes, sorry if I am a bit slow here, but what exactly is illegal in what they are doing with the emulator? Is it specifically that the software is designed to "circumvent technological measures", and if so, what is the definition of technological measures?

I understand that the purpose of Yuzu is piracy, which is illegal of course, but I don't understand the emulator can be illegal. The statement refers to an agreement you "agree" to when using software on the Switch, not a law. Can anyone explain this to me?

@LexKitteh Yes, this is likely the real issue. It's not difficult to rewrite things that are too sensitive for Nintendo of America, but copyright laws for music is a much more difficult issue to get around.

I'm fine with buying the same game again, as long as I can choose the alternative path straight from the beginning. I already did all endings the first time around.

Wow, the US cover is so bad!

Oh, this is one of the most boring rpg:s I have ever played! But, of course, I'm happy for those who like it (and are able to stay awake long enough).

I'm happy that Ubisoft finally made a really good game again, so yes, I'm buying!

Is it Thexder or Xanadu? Very different games, right?

@Ryu_Niiyama it's not surprising that a very small percentage of people are like this and it only takes a handful of the billions of people alive to ruin something.

Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Llamayes.

The reason for Nintendo to allow this would obviously be to make their console more attractive. However, I think it would hurt software sales on the Switch too much, so they probably won't allow it.

Hm, probably Gigginox or Gogmazius.

@sd7232 it will.

Is the Switch version better than the Vita version?

@LadyCharlie I agree about the new VA, but it won't keep me from buying the game. Maybe we get to switch to Japanese sound.

@themikestur87 Because the GBA version has bad sound.

A little sad for Monster Hunter 3U. It has voice chat through the controller by the way, that would have been something for the Switch!

@BulbasaurusRex So maybe we can agree the graphics are good?

@mlt It's a great game indeed!

Judging from his behaviour on Twitter, I'd say just about anything could have made him snap and just leave the company. So unless he tells us what this is about we'll probably never know.

I will probably buy these out of nostalgia (and they are of course really good games). I am very happy they included the original graphics!

Great, I played the GC version. Really good game!

I'm still hoping Wario's voice in the trailer was just a placeholder (please?).

@Serpenterror What do you mean? It still wouldn't run in 60 fps without overclocking.

@Stamina_Wheel I agree, but can also imagine the people complaining about the GTA ports (I would definitely agree with them) aren't the same people complaining about this port.

This is how a port should be done, I see the "barebones port" as a positive. Personally, I don't care about multilayer, but I understand it's important to some people.

@Kiyata It's a handheld in the same sense that the Wii U gamepad is a handheld.

@Ooccoo_Jr No, Nintendo needs to make sure their devices are cheap and energy efficient, so that a) people can afford them while still leaving profit for Nintendo and b) temperature and battery life will be decent even with a nice screen and so on. These two factors are not really compatible with competing with Lenovo and Steam deck power-wise.

@sketchturner I wouldn't assume "many people", in the sense of a large percentage, were disappointed, but those that were probably felt more incentive to tell us.

Monster Hunter rise!

This is the type of port I prefer: as little changes as possible from the original (i.e. unlike the GTA ports). As for the price, I'm sure those who want it at a lower price can just wait for a discount.

@Cashews...or to the possibility to play it on the Switch.

If the extra download is not too large, I'm interested in the cartridge version. I don't want to buy an SD card larger than 1 TB.

I really enjoyed Wolfenstein II, such a fun story. And killing nazis feels better than ever!

The first Pikmin is my favourite, and the Wii version has much better controls than the Gamecube version. I should get the Switch version to see if the better resolution is good enough to compensate for lack of IR pointer.

Music in this game and botw is just amazing. Too many games have this constant background music taking you out of the immersion.

The story is the least of Other M's issues. Characterisation and storytelling aside, Other M is a disaster. Nothing of what makes Metroid games good is there. Exploration? No, the level design is bland, boring and extremely linear. But the worst part is of course gameplay. The wiimote has too few buttons for a game like this and using the d-pad in this 3d game is an awful idea. The combination of the OP "sensemode" and autoaiming means all you do is spam dodge and fire over and over. There are a couple of fun boss fights, but ultimately you don't even get to finish the game yourself, since other NPC:s will do the most important deeds for you. There are lots of issues besides these, but if the gameplay would have been fun, those could have been forgiven. At least the graphics look nice.

Just finished it, really good game.

Lol @ Metroid on number 50! Truly one of the greatest games of all time.

Trailer looks extremely promising, but roguelite... I will have to wait and see.
