Re: Review: Trails In The Sky 1st Chapter - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Comprehensive Update Of A Classic Series Opener

Synplex

And I'm curious with how most websites are going to handle this going forward. But is Nintendo live going to review games both on switch 1 and switch two? I would love to see how most of these new games that are available on both run on the original switch one since that is still heavily used in my house. Very few versions of games we buy will be the switch 2 version. I generally buy games on the PS5 if I'm really looking for high-end graphics or frame rate unless I need portability.

Thank you for releasing your review on the switch 2 version!
I'm practically done with the switch 2 version of the game, and as someone who played the original on PSP, it's an amazing remaster! Other than rare dips in performance, I personally don't have any cons for the game. It's still an amazing story, especially once it starts to pick up. Thank god for the high-speed mode 😅
Sure, one of the cons is the story runs a little slow but you can say that roughly about any RPG made 20 years ago. That was the story style back then.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GameCube) - A Timeless Treasure

Honestly, I hate that this was released with the launch of the switch 2. This only feels like an even bigger reason to delay porting over the wind. Waker HD remake and the Twilight princess HD remake to the system.
No way or any of those coming out this year with the release of the GameCube ROM. There are so many other awesome GameCube titles they could have released instead.

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch Games

I still feel like we're going to hear about a Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Time remake before the switch is done.
And still looking forward for them to add Chrono trigger to the snes game library.
I agree with others that the list looks very lite because we are still in the window before a big Direct or two.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario RPG?

Synplex

For those people comparing this almost 30-year-old game to RPGs that came out in the last few years, you're crazy.
It's like comparing final fantasy 1 to final fantasy 16. Mario RPG was your originator and creator of a bunch of things we consider standards in RPG games today. There's no way this game is going to compare to something that's 25 years newer. Especially since this was a pretty faithful remake that didn't change much.
When I first played this game when I came out. I would have given it a 9 and today I'd still probably give it an 8 or 9.

Re: The First Review For Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Is Now In

For those talking about possibly using a voucher for this game, do not do that. This game will definitely be dropping down 10 or $20 in about 3 months. These minor remakes of older games in my opinion or not worth $60. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for this game and I already pre-ordered it but I truly think it'll be 50 or $40 really soon. Kirby games usually drop a whole lot faster than other games. I would say vouchers for Zelda or Mario games.

Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Switch Release Has Reversible Cover Art

Synplex

I never had a GameCube since that's the dark ages of my life where I took like four or five years off of playing games but I am loving the hell out of this game. I bought a digitally and I'm absolutely going to buy a physical copy to keep that in my physical collection. I hope they release the second and third game soon. I do want to play all three of them before prime 4 comes out. Hopefully this game sells enough to make Nintendo really commit to releasing prime two and three this year.

Re: Nintendo Restocks Metroid Dread Holographic Poster Set Reward (US)

Synplex

This was my first Metroid game surprisingly since I had Metroid for a super Nintendo but was too young to appreciate it at the time. I've actually beaten it at least four times and became such a fan that I went back to beat almost every other (Non Prime) game. I also got this poster as soon as available and still have it up.

Re: Pre-Orders For Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Open Now (US)

Synplex

Honestly, with Nintendo knowing how limited the stock were for these, I'm upset that they allowed everyone to even buy 2. I know people are complaining that that's not enough but personally I think it should just be one per account to give everyone a chance. Why buy two? So you can buy your friend (eBay) one? Too bad your friend has to wait with the rest of us. We're all trying here.

@Waka_the_Prophet I hate to say it but that positivity doesn't exist in a world where almost 2 years later, people still can't find a PlayStation 5. Thanks to bots. They're now so many bots that are easily downloaded and set up as web plugins that an amateur can start to use them in 10 minutes or less.

Re: Chrono Trigger Gets Ultrawide 21:9 PC Update (But Still No Nintendo Switch Release)

Synplex

So they're pretty much just using the same wide aspect ratio tech that emulators released a few years back. I know NES and SNES emulators have allowed 16x9 extensions for most games that look like this given the battle menus aren't extended. I will say seeing a game that hasn't a received a update in about 2 years suddenly receive, this makes me think it is going to have a console release soon. It only makes sense with Chrono Cross
