@OwenGamer22 Skullgirls has one hell of a history and controversies, lol. The game died for me after the second biggest censorship update. UNI2 is a peak among the current, overwhelmingly disappointing fighting games. Type Lumina is unfinished and doesn't deserve to be called a Melty Blood game. I've bought it before Cloudflare/Amazon servers throttling in my country. It's kinda sad that it's one of the last games that I was able to buy digitally on Switch... I can't even redownload the already purchased ones. 😡 As for the other fighting games... I want CHAOS CODE sequel and Daraku Tenshi: The Fallen Angels Revenge to see the light of the day, but it seems like they either stuck in development hell or aren't in developer's priorities. 😔 And, yeah, I want to see more ports and collections of old fighting games. Most modern ones are too much disappointing and don't give that much hope for the bright future of the genre.
@Ooyah Yeah, pixel graphics in point-and-click games is an art. Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Wadjet Eye Games's quests, Kathy Rain, Whispers of a Machine, The Lion's Song, Beneath a Steel Sky...
@JohnnyMind @roy130390 @NintendoJunkie The problem is, they are riding on nostalgia too much. Imagine telling someone years ago, during SFV and TEKKEN 7 days, that Vega (Dictator) and Heihachi will become PAID DLC characters?
TEKKEN 8's Season Passes are TEKKEN 7's DLC characters reuse (Fahkumram, Lidia) and base roster playable characters turned into paid DLC ones (Eddy, Heihachi, Armor King).
SF6 has paid DLC Gōki, Sagat, Vega (Dictator), Ed, Rashid...
Garō Densetsu: City of the Wolves is a joke of a joke. Real people guest characters in the base roster, no Freeman and Kim Jae Hoon, Jyō Higashi and Andy Bogard as first DLC characters.
Guest DLC characters became a plague now. Old franchises have too much not used 'cause unplayable/underused characters to spend slots on some guests bs.
They just keep recycling the same characters as DLC ones twice and trice in a row.
That's why I highlight UNI2 so much – it has new playable characters in the Season Pass. No DLCs twice/trice in a row, no base roster characters turned into DLC ones. All characters from the first game are in the roster. Also, Season Pass costs just 10$USD. 10 bucks for 3 new playable characters, or 20/25 bucks for shameless reused DLC characters?
@JohnnyMind Nah. CAPCOM's, NAMCO's, SNK's, and ASW's DLC practices and current fighting games are trash if compared to the old ones.
Literally the only one current fighting game worth getting and praise is UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II [Sys:Celes].
As much as I hate modern corporations, CAPCOM including...
MVC Collection is the best one so far, and the only one worth getting legally.
Norimaro is one of the best joke characters in fighting games history.
I'd like to give it a 1,5/10, but since I can't do it... 1/10. Needless remake of Super Danganronpa 2? Check. Needless and censored remake of Project Zero II? Check. I don't care about Super Mario and Nintendo exclusives announcements.
I wonder if Super Mario Galaxy (and 2) will be fully playable in handheld mode this time. I mean, other Wii ports like No More Heroes, Skyward Sword, Sonic, Xenoblade, are fully playable in handheld mode without shenanigans. But, knowing how lazy Nintendo are... I doubt it. Also, where are Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remasters?!
God, that English voice-over... Kyle Crane in Dying Light sounds perfect, especially if compare him to characters speaking in 9 requiem trailer. If I'll ever play 9 requiem, it will happen only with the Japanese voice-over ON.
Lol. What an unexpected thing to happen. At least, I got it before on eShop for... 6,24 or 6,74$USD. Still, it's sad that it didn't receive PC port. @Tyranexx Well, it's weaker than the 2nd game, but still not bad. Or even good... Some consider it to be the second best game in the series, after Second Story. And yeah, it's the first game in the series. Original game was released simply as Star Ocean, on Super Famicom. Later, it got remake (subtitled First Departure) on PSP, with the new seiyūs cast. And in the end, it got a remaster (First Departure R) on Switch and PS4. This version has new recorded voice lines from the Super Famicom original cast, dual audio option, and both PSP and Super Famicom seiyūs cast to choose from. 😃
@sixrings Erm... Irony is, 30FPS always will be a standard for consoles, not PC. And there are games that require 60FPS for the minimal comfortable gameplay, especially if talking about online multiplayer. @johnedwin I remember playing GGXX#R with 30FPS on Windows. It was a terrible experience.
Android/iOS aren't listed as gaming platforms, as expected. 😎
Jokes aside, NETFLIX and Crunchyroll subscriptions are saving gaming on Android, and I appreciate it. NETFLIX and Crunchyroll do what Google don't, ironically.
Also, visual novels aren't listed as genre option. 😢
@HammerGalladeBro This. Like, "everyone" wanted Ronaldo and that Salvatore guy to be base roster playable characters in CotW, instead of Freeman and Kim Jae Hoon, right? Sigh
@N00BiSH It was announced back in 2017. Don't you think Nintendo had enough time to announce release date, at least? We got Bayonetta 3 before Metroid Prime 4. We got No More Heroes III before Metroid Prime 4. And we're getting Silksong before Metroid Prime 4, lol.
Well, the original game had cancelled Montreal DLC, which featured Todd, Envy, and Lynette as playable characters. It will be such a missed opportunity to not add them in this EX release.
Lol, such a lame and lazy excuse.
@JR150 @JohnnyMind @Zeebor15 I want to remind you that Catherine in Catherine: Full Body had 9(!) DLC voices with popular seiyūs from Persona series (like Rie Kugimiya, Ami Koshimizu, and Aoi Yūki), and got 3 more seiyūs for free on Switch, with one of them being Kana Hanazawa. In the base game on PS4 and PS Vita, player has only two seiyūs to choose from. But on Switch 1? Freakin' 14(!!!) seiyūs to choose from for only one character.
And, the game has dual audio (excluding JP-only Vita version), so this time Japanese voice-over is available worldwide. I've already beaten the game once (with JP voices ON, of course!), and it was quite a cool experience. Cough-cough Anyway, back to the main topic.
SEGA/ATLUS had enough money to hire and license 14(!!!) popular seiyūs to voice only one character, yet they cannot afford voiced DLC characters in another game? What a joke.
I think that it is quite obvious that Nintendo are doing this on purpose. Outside of Cyberpunk, there are no other games that are pushing Switch 2 to its limits. And Nintendo wants to sell their own games first and foremost. I want to remind you about Genshin port that was announced years ago for Switch 1. It's obviously cancelled, after all these years, and after PS4 version EoS. Also, even XBOX consoles have Hoyoverse gachya games, while Switch 1/2 don't. It's weird, don't you think so? Also, all those games ceremonies and presentations that had almost zero Switch 2 ports...
@RasandeRose Exclusives are bad for the gamers. Even PlayStation accepted the reality. @Johnny_Arthur Nightdive wants to make the game multiplatform, while Nintendo insists on exclusivity. It is the main issue.
Wish Nintendo and other companies were selling their IPs that they aren't using anymore.
Nintendo is not planning on selling/remastering it themselves, and they will not let Nightdive make it.
A good bunch of these games can run fine enough on Switch 1 – Papers, Please, Vanquish, Rare Replay, FTL: Faster Than Light, The Witness, Super Hexagon... Super Hexagon can run on old smartphones just fine, lol. I've played it on a pathetically weak and cheap Android smartphone back in 2017, and it was running without any issues.
It's very annoying how game developers just ignored Switch 1.
GTA V Wii U port was in plans before being cancelled. Switch 1 surely can run GTA V. And yet... We got just L.A. Noire port, Red Dead Redemption port, and poor GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas demasters.
@Jack_Goetz It's really annoying that CAPCOM doesn't want to sell killer7 IP to Suda. Seriously, Suda wanted to port it to Switch 1, and, probably, he would keep his word. CAPCOM now is focused mostly on Monster Hunter, BIOHAZARD, STREET FIGHTER, and lazy CPS-1/CPS-2 ports. And the only two things that CAPCOM did with the killer7 IP in 15-20 years are: 1. Steam exclusive port, which they messed up by AI "enhancements" that they patched and removed later, lol. 2. Permitted Suda to use characters from killer7 in TSA: NMH (and NMH3???).
Give me TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 on Switch 1, and go away, Harada. TEKKEN 8 is a joke and disgrace of a fighting game. The fact that it won an award as the best FG of 2024 instead of UNI2 is hilarious. Masses likes bad games and bad movies.
@JohnnyMind «kudos to both Nintendo of America...» Erm... NoA's and NoE's actions ruins gaming on Nintendo's consoles since day one. And that thing about NSO is like a teardrop in the lake of bad things they have ever committed. They deserve anything but praise.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?

Re: Star Ocean: First Departure R Limited Run Physical Switch Release Announced

I'm not a fan of challenges and hardcore, so both games are instant skip for me.

Wasn't Nintendo supposed to announce Metroid Prime 4's release date earlier this August? 🧐
