Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025

Can't wait for them to not celebrate Mario's 40th anniversary in any major way and for people to be disappointed even though Nintendo historically don't care about anniversaries as much as people think they do
And before anyone says "BUT THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2020 THOUGH!!!!" that was more of a freak occurrence because they didn't have much else going on that year so they had to do something, and two of the major announcements there (Mario 35 and 3D All-Stars) were games that I'd be surprised if they took more than a couple of months to put together (especially 3D All-Stars with how half-baked it was), and 3D World + Bowser's Fury announcement just felt like it happened to line up with the anniversary rather than Nintendo planning for it

Re: Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac Looks Waka Waka Wonderful In New Gameplay Trailer

I recently played through the original game and it was very rough
The unpolished mechanics, awful camera and cheap level design in the second half of the game really got on my nerves, not to mention the ridiculous 100% completion requirements and reused boss fights
So quite frankly I don't really care how this remake looks and sounds compared to the original because as long as they polish the mechanics and camera significantly, make 100%ing the game a thousand times less annoying and redesign parts of the levels to be less cheap then I'll be happy
And given everything I saw of this remake so far I'm sure that'll be the case, as well as how the remake of the first Pac-Man World also took a very rough game and made it much more playable and fun

Re: System Shock 2 Has Been Updated On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes

"- Removed ambient occlusion option due to performance concerns."
Kind of a weird change tbh, I get that it may cause performance issues on Switch 1 but on Switch 2 it shouldn't be a problem, so why not just leave it in and have it be turned off by default and let people turn it on if they have a Switch 2?
