@neil9000 Usually I'm not a fan of remastering games that were made in the last decade or so, because they remaster already great games and all they do is just enhance the graphics/framerate.
However, it looks like they are making a lot of changes and fixing a lot of issues with the original. I've never played it, so this is one of the rare remasters that interest me, due to the mixed reception the original got.
Disappointed Nintendo still isn't incorporating an Achievement system. They provide loads of motivation for getting the most out of a game, and create a good consolidation of everything you have played.
And people who don't like them can turn notifications off.
@AG_Awesome 100%. In the same way I would expect a game set in Europe to feature mainly white people, it's not a surprise when a game set in Africa features mainly black people.
@RareFan Games with an African setting or inspiration are by far the best way to feature black protagonists, so if that's what people want I fully support it.
I would say anything before the PS3/360 generation, because that's when online gaming and HD became normalised, as long with many other features that have remained largely unchanged.
They were exciting to get, but they're a really bad deal for players. It's either: wait ages after the initial games release for the definitive version, pay the price of a full game for a few new features, or feel like you're missing out.
The best thing if they want to do new games in the same region that generation are sequels. BW2 felt like they were fully worth getting after play the original Black and White games.
I have the most nostalgia for SM64, and although it has aged poorly in some aspects, it has have amazingly in others. It's still a classic after all these years.
In terms being the best, I'd give it to Galaxy. The gameplay, atmosphere and creativity in that game are all perfect.
@I_Go_by_Many_Names Given how good Kirby and the Forgotten Land is and how well it sold, hopefully it will open the door for more 3D platformers. DK has only had one, and Yoshi has had nothing so there’s lots to try.
I only played the original because it was on PS+, but it's a lovely game and I was more than happy to buy it again with the DLC. It's fantastic that it's finally getting a sequel.
@SoManyHaveDied F-Zero scratches the Mario Kart itch, in the same way that there was no need to bring back Doom because Call of Duty is a thing.
Mario Kart is great and all, but F-Zero is something else. If they've made 5 Mario Karts since the last F-Zero game, I'm not buying the idea that there's nothing they can think off for a new game.
Been playing it on PS4, and its great fun. It would be great if it came to other platforms. Usually I don't like battle royale games, but this one is fast paced as well as having the competitive aspects of battle royale games.
Good to hear aboiut no HM's. I like to have a full team of Pokemon that is made for battling, and not having to fun back and forth between the PC. And not being forced to have a water and a flying type for Surf and Fly.
I don't get why we then get Pokemon games annually with no amazing twist, but we can't get a sequel to a 20 year old game that people have been asking for.

Re: UK Charts: Switch 2 Anticipation Creates A Quiet Week For Nintendo
I'm amazed Astro Bot is still doing so well.

Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
Really cool that it's announced, but with Mario Kart World as a launch title this isn't smart timing.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Will You Choose In Legends: Z-A?
Meganium is my favourite Pokemon, so easily picking Chikorita.
Re: London's Pop-Up Pokémon Center Returns In February 2025
Last time, the queue was just far too long to make it even worth going in, so I'm probably not gonna try again.
Re: RiME And 'Song Of Nunu' Developer Tequila Works Has Filed For Insolvency
That's sad, Rime was a solid game (on PS4).

Re: 'Tales Of Kenzara: Zau' Director Addresses "Constant Targeted Harassment"
@Lizuka It's mental for thinking a game is woke for having a black protagonist, even though the game is set in Africa.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
I would say anything before the PS3/360 generation, because that's when online gaming and HD became normalised, as long with many other features that have remained largely unchanged.
Re: Talking Point: Should 'Third' Pokémon Games Make A Comeback?
Nope.

Re: Poll: Do You Want To See 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder 2'?
I'm much more keen for a new (full length) 3D Platformer.
Something like a Sunshine or Galaxy sequel would be amazing, if not simething brand new.
Re: Kirby Developer HAL Laboratory Recruiting For New Projects
Hopefully more 3D platformers. They're [pretty rare and The Forgotten Land was great.
Re: PlayStation Console Exclusive 'The Pathless' Soars Onto Switch Next Week
That's awesome. I played it on PS4, it's well worth getting.
Re: Bramble: The Mountain King Brings Nordic Myths To Little Nightmares Chills On Switch In 2023
Little Nightmares was an amazing game. Any game that reminds me of it will get my attention.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 Launches Next Month
I’m happy with Maple Treeway alone.
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is Now The Best-Selling Kirby Game Ever
That's great, it was my first Kirby game and I loved it. I hope this means they try more 3D platformers for other series.
Re: Gigantosaurus Looks To Take On Mario Kart With Prehistoric Karting Mayhem
The game looks decent enough, but the trailer is terrible. Those voices are unbelievably annoying. And that T rex sounds like a TIE fighter.
Re: Video: We Make Some Wild Not-E3 Nintendo Direct Predictions
@nymbosox It has depth mechanics, but it’s not a fully 3D game, so I’m not counting it. And I’m pretty DK’s last 3D Platformer was DK64.
Re: Video: We Make Some Wild Not-E3 Nintendo Direct Predictions
@I_Go_by_Many_Names Given how good Kirby and the Forgotten Land is and how well it sold, hopefully it will open the door for more 3D platformers. DK has only had one, and Yoshi has had nothing so there’s lots to try.
Re: The Award-Winning 'Never Alone' Is Coming To Switch, Sequel In Development
I only played the original because it was on PS+, but it's a lovely game and I was more than happy to buy it again with the DLC. It's fantastic that it's finally getting a sequel.
Re: Video: Let's Take A Closer Look At Kirby And The Forgotten Land's Debut Trailer
I've never played a Kirby game before, but since I prefer 3D platformers this might be my first.
Re: Sky: Children Of The Light Is Now Available For Free On Switch eShop
Journey is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in my life, so I’ll definitely check it out.
Re: Sword And Shield Leakers Required To Pay The Pokémon Company $150K Each
Even still, no one can cause irreparable damage to the Pokemon brand like Game Freak.
Re: Random: Someone 3D Printed Their Very Own Crash Bandicoot Smash Bros. amiibo
@SpaceboyScreams Crash 4 came out relatively recently, and it was an awesome game. It's simplistic, but it's challenging in usually fair ways.
Re: The Pokémon Company Recorded Its Highest Profits Ever In 2020
I wonder if they're going to use any of that money to invest into the games to make them better.
Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl And Legends: Arceus Get Confirmed Release Dates
Bit weird timing, they're just creating their own competition.
Re: Konami Might Have Plans To Outsource More Classic IP Following The GetsuFumaDen Revival
Good news, they should have done this ages ago.
Re: Netflix Releases Official Trailer For Fourth And Final Season Of Castlevania
I hope they bring Dracula back. He was easily the best thing about season 1-2, season 3 was a bit boring with out him.
Re: How Do You Feel About Mario After His 35th Anniversary? Nintendo Apparently Wants To Know
I still like the series, the anniversary did anything but make me love Mario more.
Re: Nintendo's Future Is Focused On New IP And "Staple Series"

Re: Random: Nintendo Has A Problem With Its Switch Joy-Con, And We're Not Talking About Drift
I just want more colour variations for the first party pro controllers.
Re: Hades Gets Physical Release, Plus Soundtrack Download And Art Book, Available Next Month
Really glad I've held off on buying this till now.
Re: Fall Guys Is Coming To Switch This Summer
@UltimateOtaku91 Yep, crossplay is a no brainer.
Re: Fall Guys Is Coming To Switch This Summer
Highly recommend getting it if you haven't played it's great fun. No idea why people are saying it's dead, it's very easy to get into a game.
Re: Talking Point: What We're Hoping To See In Today's Nintendo Direct
Fall Guys is a game really well suited for the Switch.
Re: Fancy A Second Switch Dock For Your Bedroom Or Office? Now's Your Chance
@rjejr You shouldn't really need a second pair of joy cons, depending on your case they're easy enough to take with the switch.
Re: F-Zero GX Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi "Wouldn't Mind" Working On Nintendo's Futuristic Racing Series Again
A massive no brainer. Lets dispel this myth that difficult games don't appeal to people, and gamers aren't up for a challenge.
Re: Cyberpunk Parkour Game Ghostrunner Speeds Onto Switch Next Week
Played it on PS4, it's such an awesome game. Definitely recommend getting it on Switch if you don't play on anything else.
Re: Mediatonic Would Love To Bring Fall Guys To Other Platforms Further Down The Line
Been playing it on PS4, and its great fun. It would be great if it came to other platforms. Usually I don't like battle royale games, but this one is fast paced as well as having the competitive aspects of battle royale games.
Re: Pokémon Bank Successor Pokémon Home Launches Next Month
@sanderev Then you can't transport those Pokemon to SSh, that's not really much use.
Re: Pokémon Bank Successor Pokémon Home Launches Next Month
Awesome, can't wait to pay for a service that replaces something that did exactly the same thing, cept it can't transfer all Pokemon.
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Taking Legal Action Against Sword And Shield Leakers
Leaks wouldn't have caused "irreparable injury" if there wasn't so much negative news to leak.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Is The Best? Choose Your Favourite Fire-Type Starter
Hope yall voted for Cyndaquil.
Re: HMs Won't Be Returning In Pokémon Sword And Shield
Good to hear aboiut no HM's. I like to have a full team of Pokemon that is made for battling, and not having to fun back and forth between the PC. And not being forced to have a water and a flying type for Surf and Fly.
Re: Xbox Title Ori And The Blind Forest Is Making The Leap To Switch Next Month
Already have it on PC, but I will probably get it again because it is a masterpiece.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Team Yell Sound Like A Total Nightmare, In The Best Way Possible
Can we not just have a team that was actually good like Team Plasma?
Re: A Sequel To Pokémon Snap Won't Happen Unless There's A "Very Unique Twist"
I don't get why we then get Pokemon games annually with no amazing twist, but we can't get a sequel to a 20 year old game that people have been asking for.
