Yeah the NSO versions of 64 games have weird speed issues going on. I believe the credit sequences in Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 also run fast, or maybe it's slow? I don't really remember but I know the music and events don't line up.
Oh wow, I can hardly notice a difference. Take out the side-by-sides and I couldn't tell you which is which. As long as performance is smooth, I'm going with the Switch version 100%.
I'm down. I always wrote the game off just by virtue of its generic looking box art, and I was really surprised to learn that it sold similar numbers to Banjo yet no one seemed to hold it in such esteem. I'd like to see what it's all about.
These new world map changes may be enough to draw me in. I got frustrated in the original release because I was constantly getting lost and had no idea where I was going or what to do. What I'm mad at myself about because I can navigate BK and DK64 with absolutely no issue.
This is a game that I would love to get into but I straight up can't fit it into my schedule. New games are always releasing and my timeslots for perpetual check-in games are full for the foreseeable future. The odd instance where I do have time to squeeze another game in, like during a lull in releases, I'm using it to dig into the PS5 back catalogue since I only just bought it this year.
Question: I'd like to try Sonic Frontiers, and I have both a Switch and a PS5. With the Switch sale in mind, would the convenience and portability for that price be worth it compared to the visuals and performance of the PS5 version? I'm not a FPS elitist in the slightest and don't notice 30 versus 60 unless they're side by side. But in general, how bad and laggy and choppy and ugly is the Switch version by comparison?
And I laughed and I laughed. They should've just leaned into it. Play test going live, if you're one of the lucky ones to get in then you'll help be an ambassador to demonstrate this exciting development!
Gotta hand it to the dude, he's improving the more he does the roles. His Wario is leagues better than that last Wario Ware game. Haven't heard his Luigi here yet but I think Mario sounds better than in Wonder.
I remember hearing about the game when it first came out but it was just a headline title I scrolled past. Apparently it's a bigger deal than I thought?
I was on the fence for a while, but I think I'll go for it. Online against randos while knocking back a few sounds like a fun way to spice up my Friday evenings.
I hate the price of this thing and I hate the fact I'm going to pay it anyway even more 😂 I'm sorry but I'm one of those obsessive fans and I need to have this.
This was the one I had at the end of system's life, and I really wish I hung on to my previous models because this one died on me. Battery stopped holding a charge completely and the shoulder buttons became totally unresponsive. Very sad 😢
@ozwally I'd argue that it would be the best way to wake up! The best alarms are the super irritating ones that force you to get your behind out of bed.
I think Nintendo should add a legal exhibit to their museum. C&Ds and affidavits on podiums behind glass, wax figures of their lawyers, and other fun stuff like that.
I enjoyed his series for a while but I admittedly fell off because it's in subtitles and I rarely just sit down to watch something; YouTube is more background noise while I do other things.
They're taking down all these projects, right, but I'm sure some users have just re-uploaded them to other websites and stuck them in some torrents or something. With some of those users continuing development out of spite. Things just aren't wiped off the internet, that's not how it works. It doesn't bother me, personally, I just find it amusing at times.
Zelda. I'm seeing people here talk about framerate and performance issues but I've encountered absolutely none of that so far and I'm exploring all over the map. I don't doubt that they're there, I just lack the attention to detail necessary to notice it.
I would like Nintendo to win this. I'm not invested in the case or anything and I ultimately don't care, it's just that it's the more amusing outcome to me personally.
Those rascals at Digital Foundry 😂 Someone has to pick the games apart, I suppose. I didn't notice any performance problems in my three playthroughs of Link's Awakening so I doubt I'll notice much of anything here. I'm really not that observant.
I'm getting the game day one so this doesn't matter a whole lot to me but still a cool idea. Nice little blast from the past. But of course, it's always the "have" provinces that get these events. Atlantic Canada is once again left in the corner and forgotten about 😔

Re: Poll: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Out This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
I'd rather buy it on Switch just for convenience so I'm waiting on reviews. If the game runs like garbage, then I will begrudgingly get it on PS5.

Re: Talking Point: Just How Damaging Is This Big Pokémon Leak?
Kinda funny. Kinda sad. Kinda weird. Still gonna keep buying the games, though.

Picross S9 and F-Zero 99, that's about it. I need those shiny new decals.

EZ 100%. I'm gonna guess that the same part of my brain responsible for rote memorization of all the Pokémon kicked into gear when playing this game.

A favourites tab would be great. More categories, too. Like elementals, aerial, usable underwater, stuff like that.
