Shocked that 1080 isn't on this list. It's top 10 for me. I actually think it may well be the best aged N64 game. Been playing it recently and it feels amazing.
Damn. I saw some screens of it the other day for the first time and thought it looked interesting. That + my fascination with the real events made me want to keep an eye on this. Oh well.
That might be the most annoying trailer I've ever listened to thanks to the awful warning/siren tone for the entirety of it. They serious with that? oooof.
@Burning_Spear I think so, yeah. I had the same issues with my N64 controllers. Three of them are so completely worn out they feel awful and one is still just okay. so I took a shot one of these things to use instead of fiddling with replacement parts. Still need to spend a little more time with it to be sure I love it, but it's solid for sure.
I have a wired version of this controller and it is quite nice. some games take a little adjusting to because the stick feels extra sensitive. I guess because it's using modern parts and not just trying to be an old N64 controller? Really feels good overall, though.
People often comment on these bits of news in a negative way, but to me it's great. They are adding talent that's going to help make the game better. I don't really care when it's coming out or what state it is in at this moment. I've made peace with the fact that it is a ways off. I just want it to be great when it is done and this helps with that goal, almost certainly.
I like the expression on her face of the North American version more than the Japanese one. If I could have that on the slick Japanese cover that would be sweet. The red is just altogether more stylish and minimalist though so it still gets my vote.
@OdnetninAges I guess it might count you as an "owner" or whatever and give you whatever those bonuses were that other paid players are going to get, but I'm not sure it was ever worth buying physical considering how many updates it gets.
Gonna be interesting to see. Adding gyro aiming is reason enough for me to download and check it out. Played a fair bit on PS4 and then kinda trailed off of it. If they ever add cross progression I'd be more inclined to play.
The NA version is burned into my brain as THE one, but the Japanese one is the best, I think. Europe is fun enough, but looks kinda goofy and gets worse the more you study it.
David Wise is a genius and the N64 really did have some great tunes. Even outside of the first party stuff, the Snowboard Kids soundtracks are absolute bangers.
North America for "High Tech Terror" and the nostalgic (and correct) Gamepro scores, cheesy as they are. Japanese one is kind of neat, but also super boring to me.
I've sold every egg I've come across because I just don't care and think all the craftable stuff I've discovered is kinda awful looking. I don't mind the bunny day stuff overall, I just kinda don't care!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #64 - International Superstar Soccer 98
NA for me. Jack Black with big hair was always a laugh.

Re: Much-Loved Indie Platformer Thomas Was Alone Is Making The Jump To Switch
Lovely game. The narration and soundtrack are so great.

Re: Postal Redux Brings The Controversial Shooter To Console For The First Time On Switch
The original is a pretty fun game with some nice art from what I remember. all the others looked awful to me so I never bothered. This is cool news.

Re: Rocket League Goes Free-To-Play On Nintendo Switch Next Week
Pretty much the best multiplayer game of this generation. If you haven't ever played it, you really should give it a shot now!
Re: Feature: All Hail The Game Boy Micro, The Sexiest And Most Impractical Game Boy Ever
I love it. Games look really sharp on it.
I recently played though Metroid Zero Mission on mine. 99% of my playtime was on the toilet.
Re: Retro-Style Arcade Shmup Rangok Skies Is Blasting Onto Switch
aw, yeah. Looks really good.
Re: Switch eShop Sales Page Now Shows How Many Days Remain Before Each Deal Expires
I like it. I'm sure I'll still put off buying a game and miss a bunch of sales like I've done in the past.
Re: Jet Force Gemini Style Platform Shooter Tamarin Unlikely To Come To Switch Anytime Soon
There's something about it that looks really....cheap or something. I dunno. I'll reserve judgment for when/if I ever actually play it, but eh.
Re: Review: A Short Hike - A Landmark Game For All Ages
Game is absolutely wonderful. Deserving score.
Re: Oceanhorn 2 Dev Shares First Official Screenshot Of The Upcoming Switch Port
Looks pretty good actually. I haven't been paying attention to this, nor did I play the first one.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The August 2020 Nintendo Indie World Showcase?
I thought it was great. A Short Hike being shadow dropped was reason alone to love it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #56 - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Both quite nice imo, but I'll go with NA/EU for familiarity sake and it feeling slightly less cluttered somehow.
Re: Demons Ate My Neighbors! Brings Co-Op Twin-Stick Action To Switch Next Year
Really like the look. Strange that there isn't at least a teaser trailer, but I'll be keeping my eyes on this.
Re: Banner Of The Maid Brings Bodice-Busting Tactical Action To Switch Next Month
The character art isn't exactly my kinda thing , but the game actually looks rather legit? I'm very intrigued.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #52 - Mega Man 2
They all certainly offer something unique, but it's Japan for me, easily (and I don't think it's even that great)
Re: Poll: Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Yes, but I don't know when because Amazon gonna Amazon.
Re: Nintendo Switch Parental Controls Mobile App Gets A Small Update
Yeah, I use it purely to track some stats. it's kinda fun to look at daily play times and the end of the month recap is cool.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #51 - Super Aleste / Space Megaforce
Japanese one is nice and kinda moody but there's just something I've always loved about the NA one. edit: and the ridiculous title also helps.
Re: Reminder: Ubisoft Forward Airs Today - An "E3-Style" Showcase Featuring News, Reveals And Much More
Hoping for another surprise Ubi loves Nintendo game, but I'm not sure we'll get it.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Crysis Remastered Running On Nintendo Switch
Pretty impressive stuff. Saber do good work.
Re: Blaster Master Zero 2's Upcoming DLC Adds "Ultra Weird" Kanna Raising Simulator
I enjoyed my time with the game but won't be returning to it for this. I do appreciate how weird and random it is, though.
Re: Guide: Day Of The Devs June 2020 Showcase - Every Nintendo Switch Game Featured
So damn hyped for Panzer Paladin.
Re: Random: Min Min Gets Added To The Smash Bros. Ultimate Mural - Can You Find Her?
Min Min is great and all this has made me want to get back into ARMS again. I think I will.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #48 - Wild Guns
North America. I've always loved the design of the big mech boss and it isn't tainted by the Titus logo.
Re: Respawn Says Apex Legends Looks "Really Good" And Runs "Very Well" On Switch
Gonna be interesting to see. Adding gyro aiming is reason enough for me to download and check it out. Played a fair bit on PS4 and then kinda trailed off of it. If they ever add cross progression I'd be more inclined to play.
Re: New Trailer For Switch Exclusive Volta-X Shows Off The Cast And Battle System
Huh. Looks like this could be super cool.
Re: Hail To The King, Baby - Duke Nukem 3D Is Coming To Switch This Month
The price is certainly right
Re: Nintendo Just Launched A New Game And You Can Download It For Free Right Now
I enjoy how simple and silly it is. Quite charming. I think it's pretty great Nintendo released it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #47 - Shadowrun
The NA version is burned into my brain as THE one, but the Japanese one is the best, I think. Europe is fun enough, but looks kinda goofy and gets worse the more you study it.
Re: Review: Rigid Force Redux - This Will Tide You Over Until R-Type Final 2 Arrives On Switch
Hmm. I was wondering about this one. Almost impulse bought because shmup love, but I wanted to find out more. Sounds pretty good.
Re: Bandai Namco Joins The Party With Its Very Own Amazon France Switch Listing
Ace Combat collection. Thanks!
Re: SkateBIRD Is No Longer Landing On Switch In 2020, Gets Pushed To Next Year
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Re: Legendary Composer David Wise Explains Why He Wouldn't Have Swapped The N64 For A CD-Based Console
David Wise is a genius and the N64 really did have some great tunes. Even outside of the first party stuff, the Snowboard Kids soundtracks are absolute bangers.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #43 - Super Turrican
North America for "High Tech Terror" and the nostalgic (and correct) Gamepro scores, cheesy as they are. Japanese one is kind of neat, but also super boring to me.
Re: EA Set To Launch "Multiple" Titles On Nintendo Switch In 2020
I'd buy an NHL game on my switch. That's about it as far as sports go.
Re: EA Play Live Goes Digital This June - Expect World Premieres, News And Much More
we won't see anything, but don't worry, they've been looking at the Switch and consider it/Nintendo a valuable platform/partner!
Re: Reminder: Ninjala's Open Beta Starts Today, Join In On Switch For Free
Can't really be bothered with betas, let alone weirdly time limited ones.
I'll wait till it's actually released and give it a go.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd April (North America)
Trials of Mana for me, but I've got a copy coming in the mail. Might not be here till Tuesday but it's all good.
Pretty excited for it, though.
Re: Poll: Is It Cool To Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
I don't and wouldn't, but truly don't care if that's how others want to play.
Re: The Voice Behind Star Fox 64's Most Famous Line Has Died From Coronavirus
RIP
Star Fox 64 is a top 10 game of all time for me. It's infinitely repayable and a huge part of the fun is the voice acting. Peppy was always my dude.
Re: Reminder: Today Is Bunny Day In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I've sold every egg I've come across because I just don't care and think all the craftable stuff I've discovered is kinda awful looking. I don't mind the bunny day stuff overall, I just kinda don't care!
Re: Review: In Other Waters - A Chilled-Out Journey Of Discovery Quite Unlike Any Other On Switch
Been super tempted to grab it, but I'm so swamped. Wishlisted it for now. It's high on my list though. So much about this appeals to me.
