My first ever game was Super Mario Bros. After experiencing the joy that is gaming it was always remaining this incredible memory. It saddens me to say that with each new 2D iteration after the NES I never had that same level of joy. Although Nintendo is putting back in the effort with Wonder, I can't help but look at all the New Super Marios they steam rolled of the conveyor belt. This one might still be a well polished game, but the shine has faded.
I just wish to relive the golden are which was called the GameCube. Since it's Nintendo, it would cost them more than 50 years to re-release al their amazing titles on their current and next generation consoles.
Just seeing the image of this article almost made me jump out of my seat thinking it was news about a Prime 2 and/or 3 remaster. I feel betrayed... Anyway, I think I'll give Control on Xbox a chance over the weekend.
Sometimes I feel this series never should have entered the 3D realm for the mainline games. Although I thought Colosseum was pretty fun, you could feel it didn't live up to the scope of the portable games. When I read about the performance of these new game I just miss the nineties/early 2000s more and more ...
I will wait for a discount, I liked the first one, but the second game I couldn't get into. Recently Metroid Prime Remastered was on sale for €20 over here, so I am hoping Pikmin will be be the same in a few months.
While GX is definitely my favourite I also played Maximum Velocity until my D-pad almost fell off. Seeing Maximum Velocity on the bottom of this list I can only confirm that a bad F-Zero game just doesn't exist.
It looks allright, but in saddens me that the first game isn't available on Switch. I would love to see Nintendo focus more on re-releasing/remastering more GameCube games.
Most of it looks kinda... eh... but it probably deserves more credit because it does try to look and sound like a Broken Sword game. Let's say this game is Mediocre at best.
Big whoop... as long as it plays fine, who cares? I own this game on GameCube but sadly it isn't really my cup of tea. I consider buying this remake just for the sake of sale number so Nintendo gets a hint of the fact that I want more GameCube remakes on Switch. Now where are Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD!?
Tears of the Kingdom was pretty much one big DLC pack for Breath of the Wild. There, I said it. Don't get me wrong, it is a good game, but it's generally just more of the same. It's time for a new Zelda.
I bought this game both on X360, Xbox One and on Switch just because it's such a darn good platformer. Especially with a couple of friends it's a good laugh. It's time for a sequel Ubisoft, make it happen.
Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD for Switch. That's all I need to survive until the next big thing: Metroid Prime 4. Maybe throw in a teaser for Metroid Prime 2 and 3 for the end of the year and I'll stop complaining for a long time.
I believe this can still be called this a good port. It's probably still not worth the current price, but at least you are getting a solid game. I would have considered buying it if they shaved of 10 euros, but I expect that it won't be long before that happends.
I already despise fan reaction videos, but putting "fan reactions" in your Anniversary video is probably the worst thing I ever had to listen to... Anyway, No Man's Sky, from what I hear and see it's a pretty good game. Sadly I have started playing to game too late. With so much content nowadays I find it really hard to get into.
It looks fantastic and it probably plays very good, but my brain always has issues with playing "spiritual successors". I don't know why, but I am going to pass this one. Maybe once it has gone on sale I'll give it a go.
Will Arkham Knight even run decently on Switch? Considering Asylum and City were Xbox360/ps3 games I can imagine the Switch running those two, but Arkham Knight?
Is a "lazy" port really a bad thing, though? I mean if the game runs good and the price is decent what really more do you need? I get that for most people the game has a steep price and we haven't seen a performance review yet, but game development costs time and money. You can always wait for the price to drop. I am just saying: more classics on modern hardware is always a plus.
My prediction is that is just a pro version of the Switch. Hopefully it's not called the Switch U, but it will be a backwards compatible Switch successor with better graphics and a little bit bigger screen. Current gen joy cons will work on the device, but can't be attached, because a Joy Con 2 with even more peripherals and gimmicks will be sold separately.
A new 3D Mario or Zelda is usually the default answer. But since Super Mario Wonder is close to release and we just have seen the likes of Tears of the Kingdom I find either one not a realistic choice. I have voted for Metroid Prime 4 although I am not sure if the franchise can carry an entire new system. On the other hand the Metroid Prime Remaster did a pretty good job, so in my mind I am picturing a 4k Metroid game that looks absolutely stunning.
Am I the only one not impressed by this line up? Hopefully the next Direct we'll see (September?) will feature some extra's for the end of this year or beginning of next year. I still find a Switch 2 release in Q2 2024 highly unlikely, but we'll see...

Re: Random: Fan-Made Nintendo Logo Timeline Is A Superb Look At The Past
I love the fact that it barely changed the last 40 (maybe 50) years. Nintendo's logo is the proof that you shouldn't fix something that isn't broken.

I don't blame you, @N0SEGaming as a matter of fact I am happy for you, but I'd rather had Wind Waker HD/Twilight Princess HD.

Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom DLC - What Would You Have Liked To See?
