Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th April)

I played through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition on my PC recently and I absolutely hated it so now I'll probably replay Aria of Sorrow or one of the DS-Vanias as a palate cleanser, I'll also be trying to make some progress in La-Mulana, from what people who played it told me I did about 70% of the game so I'm hoping I can get it done by the end of the month

Re: Talking Point: Which Switch Game Needs A 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' The Most?

Sylamp

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity really needs it imo, I have more issues with that game than just the performance and resolution but if they improve those then it would be a lot more enjoyable for me
But for the game I want to see enhanced on Switch 2 is Kirby and the Forgotten Land, it already looks and runs really good on Switch but seeing it run at 60 FPS with enemies that move at more than 10 FPS in the background would be amazing

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

Re: Talking Point: Should We Actually Get Excited For Pokémon Day This Year?

"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

Re: Best Wario Games Of All Time

Sylamp

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

Re: Nintendo President Reiterates Switch Online Will "Continue To Be Available" For Switch 2

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
