one thing people are forgetting is that Prime 1 remaster was rated two whole years before release, so if they are remastering the other two games in the same vein then I can see Prime 2 remaster being released next year easily
@Woodyshoe Reboot It has a remake of this game that has new machanics and is a bit more beginner friendly, plus it has a Sharp X68000 port of the original
people seeing a Switch game releasing in march 2025 now how can I make it about Switch 2? seriously people, stop, Switch 2 announcement will happen when it happens and making stupid predictions won't make it come sooner
ok so it's not just me I've been having issues with the battery draining faster than usual and games/updates not downloading when in sleep mode, I didn't notice any overheating issues but my friend did I hope Nintendo will fix these issues soon
ok but when will they update it to run at 60fps instead of 50 and add the extended match options from the newest version? this is the main drawback of this version right now, for some reason they based it on the 2012 (or 2013, not entirely sure) version instead of the 2020 version which is just weird, I don't understand why they did that
if it's releasing next year (which I'm convinced it is given how there isn't even a release window for this) then it's 100% launching on Switch 2 and not Switch 1
it's probably beyond the scope of this collection but it would be nice if they added an option to play Dawn of Sorrow with the luck stat fixed, as it's famously broken in that game, same with Aria of Sorrow in the Advance Collection
I'm gonna wait and see if they add Tetris Plus games to this as the other games don't interest me, neither does the museum aspect given how The Tetris Company is the same company that changed the origin date of Tetris back in 2009 just because they felt like running a 25th anniversary campaign that year, so who knows if anything in the museum part of this collection will be in any way accurate to the history of Tetris
still now convinced, I don't see these extra modes holding up after a few playthroughs, like I said elsewhere I wish they just focused on the main mode
@Max_the_German the file size is too big for it to be related to streaming, all streaming apps are less than half a gigabyte, just look up the cloud games available on Switch
after playing Climax for a long time it's a bit hard for me to go back to this one but it's still a pretty good game and way better than SNES, Maximum Velocity or 99 imo
I'm sure everyone will listen and nothing will get leaked, just like everyone listened when they asked them to not leak anything from the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Playtest... oh wait...
@Zeebor15 they closed down in 2001 but a different company named Blue Planet Software was funded in 1996 as a successor to Bullet-Proof Software (don't ask me how a company funded in 1996 is a successor to a company that closed 5 years later, i don't know) and in 2020 that company got rolled into The Tetris Company
"but it's nice to see Luigi with a role slightly beefier than the 'look scared and follow Big Bro.' one he usually has" Luigi always had the best special attacks in these games, what are you talking about Nintendo Life?
I'm definitely picking up Ys X and I'll probably pick up Yakuza Kiwami, idk if I'm gonna get Super Mario Party Jamboree because the focus on side modes doesn't inspire confidence in me, I need to see how Sonic X Shadow Generations runs on Switch before I decide if I want to pick it up Outside of this list the other things I'm getting are Card-en-Ciel, ASTLIBRA Gaiden and Blasphemous II: Mea Culpa DLC
my problem with Superstars wasn't really the lack of modes because the extra modes in previous games were just a distraction to me, something I play once and never touch again, so I was hoping for the next game that they would just not bother with extra modes at all and just focus on the main mode but it seems like I'm not getting that and instead they again overload the game with extra modes that don't have the staying power of the main mode
it's $5 on launch sale right now so I might get it just to see if it's at least fun to play but I wish they had an option for the original visuals, I don't know how hard it would be to implement that at this point but maybe it's something they can patch in later
@Clyde_Radcliffe I feel like if Arcade Archives TGM3 was going to happen it would've by now given how quickly TGM2 got an Arcade Archives release after the first one, plus that game runs on some Windows based arcade board so that might be tricky to emulate
@Clyde_Radcliffe a couple days ago the TGM twitter account posted a zoomed in screenshot from the location test version of TGM4 (they've deleted it though) so I think it might actually be TGM4 I just hope that it'll release on consoles and not just arcades

@Snatcher if you play Tetris to be relaxed then you should probably avoid the TGM games, they are very difficult and aren't made to be relaxing
