Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer

I don't think people understand how absolutely bonkers that Marvel vs Capcom collection is. It seemed impossible to ever get those games released from licensing hell but here we are. Previously the only way to play those games were either on original hardware or a collection exclusive to Xbox 360. Huge win for the fighting game community.

As for my favorites (besides MvC): Dragon Quest 3 HD2D is a day 1 buy for me. DKC Returns HD and Metroid Prime 4 are runners up. the new Zelda game looks cute but I think I'll pass on it.

Also whatever happened to Metal Slug Tactics? That new MS game they announced here looks like a mobile game and am not interested in it

Re: Poll: Is $60 Too Much For Nintendo's Switch Re-Releases?

The_Blue_Mage

Anything more than 40 is a crime IMO especially when little to nothing was added to the game other than making the game look nicer. Nintendo is notorious for this and wish they would be more fair about their pricing. Now if its a from-the-ground-up remake, then I can see 50 or 60 being ok as that requires more time and effort. I was more than happy to pay full price for SMRPG because of that

Re: Nintendo Announces Second US Store, Opening 2025

Oof, why of all places San Francisco? The place is like a lawless zone. People can literally steal up to $900 worth of items and not get punished. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Not a very smart move Nintendo. I already feel bad for the people who are going to be working there..

Re: Poll: What's The Best Final Fantasy Game? Rate Your Favourite Mainline & Spin-Offs

The_Blue_Mage

Man, this is a tall order. I love so many of the mainline titles, hard to chose over them. So at the bottom of my list would be 8 mainly because I didn't care for the cast of characters, none of them really stood out to me. 11 was amazing for the time but has aged poorly (and is due for a remake/offline version please Sqenix). 14 is good but not great IMO. My top three are 4, 6, and 9; no particular order

Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Demo Now Available On The Switch eShop

The_Blue_Mage

The game is obviously targeting casual audiences due to Peach's popularity from the movie. I tried the demo and while it is charming it is kind of also brain dead gameplay. Just button smashing A and B (do X and Y buttons actually do anything??) But that's fine, I'm sure plenty of people will like it, especially younger fans

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Is Bringing The Mayhem To Switch

Man, I wish TMNT would go back to its grittier roots from the Mirage Comics era. I just read the original collection and those were so full of creativity and great story telling. They need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just go with what made them awesome in the first place. Also, I highly recommend reading the Last Ronin to any TMNT fan, its a fantastic modern story
