I only played a few levels of this but I really liked what I've played and will go back to it soon
@awp69 was it about sensitivity? because by default the controls are a bit too sensitive but there is a sensitivity option so it's not a big deal

@vio I meant that they didn't have a game that released both on Wii and Wii U, same with DS and 3DS not having a game they share

@vio they didn't have one for Wii and Wii U, or DS and 3DS

hopefully this turns out better than their remaster of Blade Runner

@MontyCircus there is no way they're gonna add Wii and 3DS games to NSO, those games aren't old or dated enough to be given away in a subscription service

I'm interested in Expelled! but I want to play Overboard! first, and in general I want to play the games that developer made, they all seem really cool

Huh
I'm not opposed to this but I wonder what are they doing with this game that couldn't be done in the first one

how much you wanna bet that the movie would just be yet another retelling of the first Star Fox?

@LadyCharlie was that version fully in English?

@caseyyy I'm pretty sure SFA3 Upper was never released outside of Japan so I think when they're saying "The English version has been built using the Japanese version's data as a base" that basically means "We translated the parts that were in Japanese"

@JohnnyMind you don't need to compare this one to the original because it's literally the same, they didn't remix it

I decided to do a 100% playthrough of Yoshi's Island because I've never done that before and just 2 worlds in I can confidently say I will never do it again
I also picked up Star of Providence which is just as amazing as it was back when it released in 2017 on Steam (it used to be called Monolith back then but they changed the title to avoid potential legal issues with WB), it's up there with both Spelunky games as one of my favorite roguelites of all time and one of my favorite games period

@LastFootnote they never said anything about taking extra time with their games after Scarlet/Violet so you might've dreamed it

hopefully there is a cool spin-off made by someone other than Game Freak that interests me, I don't have any hopes about Legends Z-A being good after how badly Scarlet/Violet turned out but maybe they'll surprise me

"And will it be a cross-gen title for Switch and Switch 2?"
That question can be answered pretty easily
No
Game Freak is notoriously slow when it comes to jumping to the new hardware, Pokemon Black and White released on DS the year the 3DS came out and their sequels came out only on DS a year after AND Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon came out on 3DS the year Switch came out, just because Z-A is coming out the same year as the Switch 2 doesn't mean it's gonna be cross-gen

I just don't get the love for the first Wario Land
Even if I treat it as a Mario game with Wario as a protag I don't find it nearly as fun as Super Mario Land 2, it's slower, feels worse to control and the levels are kinda boring

i hope it's true, I have a copy of the original but my 2DS is dead so I can't replay it
But where does he say that it'll just be an HD port similar to Luigi's Mansion 2 HD? I can't find him saying what kind of re-release it will be

anyone who is expecting Gamecube, Wii and 3DS games to be added to NSO is a fool, not only is it more lucrative for Nintendo to remaster/remake those games and charge $40/$60 for them but also those games aren't so old and dated that they can just be given away, especially Wii and 3DS games
DS games maybe could be added but I can't see them being very fun to play even with the Joy-Con mouse, I would know because emulating and playing DS games on PC that heavily use the touchscreen is not very fun, it feels clunky as hell

looks cool, as long as it doesn't have any narration by someone who likes the smell of their own farts it will be better than The Witness by default

there was a rumor last year about an Apple Arcade sports game with Sonic so if I had to guess that's probably what this trademark is for

port Peggle 2 to Switch EA you cowards

I hope the rumors of the remaster/remake are true, my 2DS is dead so I can't play the original anymore

@topher6490 nope, as of now those are still published by Nintendo but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes in a few months

idk why people are still expecting Capcom to announce anything in these, every single one of these showcases so far was just them talking about already announced games and it will be the same this time, people are just getting their hopes up for no reason

I want a proper single-player mode, not necessarily DKR-style hub but I want something more involved than just the Grand Prix cups (although those should still be in the game)

@WheresWaveRace Amusement Vision doesn't exist anymore

@VHSGREMLIN And what would that do?
A bunch of people who worked on games like Banjo left a long time ago, it's not the same Rare anymore

@Clyde_Radcliffe that's the main reason why I didn't buy this collection, I get not including Tetris games published by Nintendo but the Tetris Plus games, The New Tetris and maybe one or two games from early 2000's should be included to better represent the whole history of Tetris, instead of just focusing on the very early stuff

I never really liked the Rare design of DK, it was fine but he just always looked angry for no reason, I like the new design way more

@PepperMintRex it did release in some regions on the original release date but it wasn't meant to and it was quickly pulled from the eshop

@Yaycandy why did anyone doubt it would play physical Switch 1 games?
it was way more likely for those to work than digital games tbh

@shiftbarackyeaugh I hope you record yourself doing it, we need proof

@johnedwin it's for a direct about Switch 2, not a release date for the system

I loved the Steam demo so I'm grabbing this, I just hope it doesn't have the weird slowdown issue that Record of Lodoss War had

also, I hope that Bamco will re-release these GBA Klonoa games at some point, maybe do a collection and throw in the Wonderswan game and translate the RPG

I voted for Japanese boxart but it can go to either it or the European one, they're equally good imo
The NA is not even an option, it just looks like a placeholder made in 10 minutes

@Dev1024 what exactly got spoiled? given Nintendo's own comments about the new console we already knew that's it's gonna look similar to Switch 1, everything else is still up in the air, especially software related stuff

@TechaNinja we still barely know anything aside from the most obvious stuff that anyone could predict based on Nintendo's own comments, that it's just a bigger and more powerful Switch
we still don't know how the UI looks or what are the built-in apps (or if there even are any) or if it has an additional gimmick or - most importantly - what games are gonna be released for it at launch
those are way more important, hardware alone isn't exciting without those things

how can you predict a number like that when there is nothing to base this prediction on? is it based on vibes?

YOOO
I love this game, one of my favorite shmups on Steam, day one purchase for me

I only used them when I played WarioWare: Move It and that's it

still no analog triggers it seems, why is Nintendo so allergic to them I don't get it

@Clyde_Radcliffe it's a handheld device, there was never a chance that it would match PS5 in terms of power, unless you want to pay more than $1000 for it

oh dear, time for a lot of really stupid takes about the theoretical power of Switch 2 from people who know nothing about tech yet they pretend they do

@Not_Soos if they called it Super Mario Wonder then you'd have 2 Mario games with an acronym SMW and that just sounds stupid

@Zeebor15 if it's anything like Bamco with Ace Combat 7 they probably started the development of this version way before they even knew about the existence of Switch 2

@N00BiSH unless your Switch is overclocked I don't see how it can run better for you than for me, besides you don't have to believe me that it doesn't run at 60 FPS, here is a video that shows that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI89RwEYYPM

calling it a "60 FPS framerate boost" is very misleading, it performs better now but it still never comes close to 60 FPS
I really wonder what was that delay for because it clearly wasn't optimization (or even making sure the game works given how much it crashed when you looked at it funny before this patch)

@N00BiSH yeah I saw this but that doesn't confirm that the whole game will run at a consistent frame rate plus aside from the blimp section Boiler City was not that bad when it came to performance, from what I've heard later levels are quite a bit worse in that regard

I still would like to know what the hell happened between the demo and the full version, demo ran smooth as butter and the full version doesn't seem to be doing anything that the demo didn't do, it's good to know that a patch is on the way to make the performance better (hopefully it'll be consistent) but maybe they should have delayed it for longer
This also confirms that Game Maker is a bad engine to use if you want to bring your game to Switch as it doesn't support multithreading, which makes optimizing games made in that engine to work on Switch way more of a pain
