Many Sunsoft games were top-notch. Blaster Master, Batman and Journey to Silius were some of my favorites from the NES era. Awesome soundtracks as well!

@CJD87 My memory is a bit hazy but if I remember correctly it was Our Lady of the Charred Visage that I suffered with a lot while Tres Angustias only took one try.

Sometimes it's just a matter of good days and bad days and other factors too. It's still very interesting how people have such different experiences with stuff like that. It must have something to do with the fact that the whole game is pretty tough so there is not much of linear rise in the difficulty.

@CJD87 Yeah, they made the last boss quite a bit harder. Took some effort for sure but I defeated it quite confidently after a couple of tries. I read people's experiences with the game and it seems some bosses were hard for others and easy for some. One mid-tier boss I defeated first try while one made me almost give up completely. Great game all in all if not a bit punishing.

Not too fond of the art style but platforming does look quite fun. It's a sale buy for me.

My cool uncle knew about this and of course I respected him even more after he told me.

Not sure if we actually bothered trying it back then with me having the Game Genie and all but I'm pretty sure I did it later in life in some form.

They are one of the greatest developers so it's good business is blooming for them. They also treat their main series well with not too many compromises which makes me happy.

I mostly remember massive pain when I think of this game.

I enjoy an occasional RPG but all these anime themed games are kinda blending together in my mind. Also excessive button mashing doesn't really do it for me. Timing based is okay but I prefer (at least semi) turn-based.

I'm pretty sure Zelda appreciates 94 minutes more than, say, 6 to 8 weeks.

Here's my money! All 2.99 that I'm ready to invest in this.

Yeah, Nintendo's hardware can hardly run their first party games. I think they will and should address this issue in the future. It's quite shocking to see relatively simple looking games with frame rate dips, like Link's Awakening when you enter a busy screen.

I'm not saying they should enter the race for the most powerful console but they should find the balance. If and when they have increasingly ambitious games then the hardware should match. 🤷🏻

Having played Prodeus some time ago and currently playing through the OG Doom series, this is right up my alley.

I'll stream it sometime in the future I guess.

Haven't even tried it yet but since it's my all-time favorite game I reckon I'd still rate it a perfect 10. Having bought my first Switch last summer I STILL have BotW unplayed and next in line. And now this. Metroid being way shorter I guess Samus cuts in. Sorry Link.

EU/NA is a bit dull and the colours on the japanese one are all over the place. Quite literally.

Best game ever though and already downloaded so can't bother with the cover art 🤗

This is so weird in 2023. Subscription based services have made gaming widely available and even cheap. On PC you can get legit free high quality games all the time for you to keep permanently.

Nintendo gives you a change to try out a card game for a week.

A game this short shouldn't be as uninteresting as it was at times. The best parts I enjoyed maybe even more than RE2 but this is a flawed game in the end. Definitely worth checking out if you're into RE series though.

I've been playing since the start and I like this "game". They could add more interesting stuff the coming year though.

A fascinating piece of information. Also my favorite game of all time.

Yes, looks great. Nice to get to play this one. The original release was weird. I remember there being some english translation for it on Wii but it seemed like a hassle and I couldn't bother with it.

I start to feel very old, yes 😂 I bought SML2: 6 Golden Coins on a school field trip and loved it obviously.
I already had Wario Land before that which had the superior art direction if you ask me but SML2 felt more like Super Mario World which I was very familiar at the time.
Youngsters today will never know the pain of trying to see what the heck is going on in that little dim green lcd and for that I am glad.

The first version of the game came bundled with my PS4 back in the day. Later, after some update (NEXT, maybe?) I hopped back in and ended with a platinum trophy. I hardly recognise the game now.

That is some creepy stuff right there 😂

Honestly, I crave more horror on Switch so probably gonna get this if it's even decent and the price is right.

I think handheld is pretty perfect for horror.

Thought this was going to be another 'meh' pixel art retro thing. Well, I wasn't exactly completely wrong but this looks quite amazing.

Slightly creepy with the body being so small and that neck seems quite long.

And.. um, swimsuits?

Seriously loving the game though. Started yesterday and seems like they fixed all of my main gripes with the second one.

So next we're gonna get Split Pad Mini which is just a regular joy-con without all the features?

I bought the Split Pad Pro only because it's big. I really don't feel this new design.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I also have XC3 waiting for me at the delivery box but since I only got 30 hours in XC2 it won't enter my game slot any time soon. Loving the second one though but can't wait. Also, huuuuge backlog on PS4.

Oh wow, I remember some hype around this one. The Wii days were crazy. So many lack-lustre games but also greatness. The Conduit was kind of cool if I remember correctly and I was also interested in The Grinder even though to this day I don't know what Left4Dead was all about 😂

I have it on SNES so no-buy for me. Originally played it on Sega Mega Drive or Genesis if you will, but never beat it. Bought it 2-3 years ago and still haven't beat it. Great game though.

I've played lots of horror games and in my books this is one of the best. It has bit of a walking simulator thing going on but the sheer amount of visual tricks and atmosphere makes this a great piece of entertainment. I got actual goosebumps most of the time while playing this. A perfect combo of awesomeness and chills.

9/10 from me, the only downsides being the somewhat slow controls and the lack of proper gameplay which are ultimately minor problems overshadowed by the mansion and its demonic nature.

If I had a Switch I'd be interested. Looks like it has all the elements of a good side-scroller.

Glad to see the love for Alien Infestation. That was a great game apart from the last boss. Maybe I did something wrong but I found myself jumping and shooting with a pistol in a blind spot like a cheater for half an hour but beat it finally :/ I don't think that was supposed to go like that.

@Shiryu
Can't listen to the samples right now, but based on your stuff in general I'm sure it's great! Hopefully you included Tallon Overworld 2, that one always brings tears to my eyes :´)

I think I kinda rushed this through on 3DS but it was fun and the amount of references was overwhelming for an 80's/90's kid like myself. Good stuff, good stuff.

To be honest, I never thought I would get into this series. The fact that XC was a few years old and I played it on VC didn't really help. But man did I love it. After playing X for about 200 hours I was definitely a fan. Looking forward to this and hoping it'd be some kind of hybrid of the aforementioned two.

That's just tasteless in my opinion. A company is always in for the money, sure, but this is just too much. Hopefully Nintendo will come up with something that ends this kind of exploits. The fact that big N didn't provide enough is another thing...

I pre-ordered from two different places and didn't get my piece. Slightly disappointed at the time but on the other hand I have enough technology under my TV already.

I'm pretty sure I've ordered something from them, and it was all good. That price though is something to be wary about. I'm doubtful about them having that kind of stock at launch. If I had the money, I'd probably take it but since I don't... Good luck.

Sure Konami, whatever...

The machine itself fascinates me but I want resist the urge to buy it too soon. I'm busy with PS4 and after Wii U I'm kinda cautious. As much as I loved Wii U it didn't really pay off to get it early on.

I never realized how atmospheric the original picture was There's something about it that moves me even though I never got to play it as a child :')

I bought my Wii U a month or two after launch for 249 euros :/ It's the white basic model but I never saw the 32 GB version a sensible option anyways. I had a hard drive laying around so it worked out fine.

Ninty sure likes its stuff.

Not compatible :/ Shoot!

Maybe I need a new phone...
Not too hyped actually, but I kinda wanted to try it.

Egyptian AC would actually be quite cool. I'm already bored with the current AC setting although I loved Black Flag and 100%'d it. Even through the awful fps' on Wii U

There were open world games for the DS, so why not Wii. More cartoony look is always an option if the hardware can't handle realistic style.

Thanks for your awesome efforts Jools, I hope you and the other guys the best in the future! Passion unfortunately doesn't always pay the bills but there are many people among gamers that appreciate that kind of drive.

I'd like to give this game another chance. I quit when I got in a situation where I just couldn't beat some enemies and didn't have an earlier save file so I was basically stuck. I think the whole surreal thing has been made better in some more recent games but of course this is a classic.

We got loads of christmas-Pikachus with my partner but not one hatched baby 'mon. So this is very welcome.

Looks too good to be running on Switch. I'd be interested in a game like this but it would look way more humble on Switch.

I still remember the very day I unpacked my precious Wii U. It was so cool and full of potential. Not greatest of successes but I'm glad I was there and enjoyed my little U. I won't be getting rid of it though. I'll keep it close and cherish the memories.

This modern space era brought us conveniences like the interwebs, so it's not really a problem for me. People these days tend to watch things when they please. Streaming live is great and all, but they're gonna have a lot of coverage no matter the time they choose I'm just gonna watch it while I'm having my morning coffee.
