Warioware

@Ralizah a fellow Vita fan? 😅 Admittedly much of its catalogue has migrated now but for a long time it hosted my favourite game (Persona 4 Golden, yes, along with PC).

I certainly agree about bringimg over the rest of Vanillaware's catelogue. I think my global point is that after so many releases like this one I don't have much trust in Atlus as a company, even though they already hooked me in and I keep buying their stuff anyway. Maybe I am part of the very problem I am complaining about 😅

@Ralizah I hope so, but Atlus still publishes Vanillaware. 13 Sentinals hasn't been touched (yet) but Odin Sphere, Muramasa, Dragon's Crown and even Grim Grimmoire got enhanced re releases (OS and GG admittedly a long time later). I'll still be grabbing Unicorn Overlord once my wallet contains more than flies again though

@Makyurax keep it sealed and grab a digital copy of Vengeance in a while on sale. A physical vanilla version might be worth something down the line

"this new version almost completely nullifies that first release"
So can they also nullify my payment from three years ago too please? I will gladly put it towards yhis new version if they do.....

Deep sale for me. Love Atlus games but this business model irks me as one of their (usually) early adopting fans. Even hesitant to pick up Unicirn Overlord in case there is a "Regal" edition in a couple of years or so.

Was remembering Dino Crisis recently.....

I would like anotherArcade Stadium with their more recent coin ops. Seems like the arcade games post '95 rarely get much notice. And that includes from me, so I would like to see more

I have been expecting a Luigi's Mansion 1 shadow drop in this direct (like Pikmin) since 2 was announced, so maybe. There is a Xenoblade X rumour floating round it seems. I would like Nier Replicant and Etetnights is supposed to be coming to Switch. Not much else at this point beyond my hopes for Pandora's Tower to get some love and some other ports that or something.

This trailer looks much better than the last one

I stopped playing this back in the day when I got a negative blood test from a team mate and then 5 seconds later he rurned into an alien.....

The games industry is turning into Hollywood with all of the remakes and mining of the past. I love these games but give us new entries in the series and preserve these with a rerelease of the HD collection. The best games from this era still mostly hold up today in my opinion anyway.

Animal Well is the first game I have finished in a while without drifting into other games for a bit. Straight through. Only then, of course, to find out that that is not really the end

@Ganner they erased the EU because they thought they could do better but now it seems like they are cherry picking aspects of it to generate some, or even any, interest at this point. Used to love Star Wars, now I just don't care. Except for the redos of some of the older games for nostalgia's sake.

I posted before but whatever has become of Savior? Seems like it was announced years ago and very little recent news.

New 3D game or something totally different. Don't want another country game right now, good as they are. I remember reading a comment on here years ago about a Donkey Kong game in the style of Mirror's Edge, that might be interesting

And my vote is also against "boomer shooter". Makes it sounds like it is from the 60s and 70s.

@BlueMage yeah me too, I bought the DLC but struggled to get into the game (preferred SMTIV actually). Atlus' games are some of my favourites but their strategies... well, no. Also, the standalone nature of the new content just reinfirces that this should gave been DLC. The new stuff in the Persona games and Catherine would probably gave required too much reworking to just patch it in.

@Orpheus79V I hope you are right! Still going to be cautious for now. The only thing with P3R is that the story elements were largely done, unlike previous games. But I hope this is a new approach!

@Wisps Persona is one of my faviurite franchises but it is unlikely that I will buy the next one when it launches because 3 years later there will be the emerald version or something. I agree that this should be DLC (I think there are no changes to the original content anyway).

With SMTV specifically I thought that Nintendo publishing it might have made a difference or that they would do what they did with SMTIV with a second linked stsndalone game. Guess not.

@Pillowpants This. I love Atlus games but their approach to most releases these days essentially punishes early buyers who are probably their biggest fans and supporters

Animal Well kept me up until 3am last night.....

Had not even heard of this. Curious now.

Never heard of this festival so when I saw download in the title I thought they had decided to do the right thing and make it a DLC download as well. Oh well.

I remain convinced that there will be a Direct in June with more information on this and a shadow drop of the first game in HD, like they did with Pikmin

As a formerly big Star Wars fan I can safely say that May the Fourth no longer has any meaning for me.

Probably going to play El Shaddai but there is so much in my backlog I could probably go dark for three years at this point and have sufficient entertainment.

I think the disc for this is still in my old PS3 that hasn't been used in years. Definitely going to pick this up and was only waiting for performance confirmation. Also slightly surprised that there is no mention of the sort-of sequel The Lost Child already on Switch.

I feel like Chained Echoes got a bit overshadowed by the hype around Sea of Stars but it is definitely worth your time.

You should all support Hollow Knight too, then we might get a sequel.....

Lots of comments about the Wario Land games here. 3DS was excellent on that front (although I think 4 was Ambassador only). Shake Dimension could really use a remaster. And that's all it probably needs, a literal upscaling. With the rumoured Switch 2 delays, why not eh.....?

@RupeeClock sorry, couldn't resist and mistakenly decided to split my comments here. Was reading this as the "one last thing" announcement came up as Steamworld and I literally chuckled out loud.

And, on topic, this looks decent although I am a sucker for that style of cutscene.

Am I the only person who remembers the game "Savior" that was meant to come out in 2022 but has since gone quiet? Looked promising, wonder if that one will ever resurface

Not sur how on topic this Is but earlier this week I received an email from Aspyr about my KOTOR2 missing content download code asking me what I wanted for a free download and saying my request had been put in the wrong queue. Just in case anybody else was waiting on this (I vaguely remember a few mentioning it) - my original email to them was back in September!

@the_beaver as PixelateVision said there is The Last Revelation and Chronicles, essentially 4 and 5. Chronicles is mostly a bunch of short adventures told in Flashback whilst characters from TLR discuss Lara's possible fate and it was described by one of the developers as "complete sh#t" but I remember enjoying it. Different times back then though.....

The Angel of Darkness which I think was the last game from the original team (on PS2) was awful but a lit of signs, even at the time, suggested it was released in a far from finished state, possibly with a lot of cut features and content (I am saying this from hazy memories though)

Wonder if they will do the other two PS1 games. I realuse that even the devs criticised them (certainly the final one) but I remember still liking them and, well, completeness. Also, controversial, how about revisiting Angel of Darkness and actually finishing it the way it was suppised to be?

I don't mind so much if they drop some of these awful practices like dropping a $30 pass or releasing a revamped or "complete" version down the line.

Islets is on sale in the EU too. Heard it's good but no personal experience

So if this is published by Sega rather than Nintendo this time then it might actually see a deep sale in a bit. I love Atlys games, one of my favourite developers, but their release strategies border on dishonest and unethical (not illegal unethical, but.....). This should have a DLC option, it doesn't seem to have reworking like P5R

Could be good, Lost Crown has been great so far. I ask for this with a lot of franchises but a POP collection would be nice (Sands of Time stuff plus the old games and the PS3,PSP and Wii Sands sequels). Probably never happen.

Alien Trilogy would probably make sense

@PKDuckman well that sucks. Arc. System Works then maybe? We can get the NES version (also..... not great) on the Kunio collection bht still no original

Double Dragon 3 is pretty awful but I would still like to have it in the Arcade Archives for completeness

Never played 2 but the first game felt very limited to me even back in 2004 on PS2 and I remember getting bored quickly.

Fine, fine, fine. Now where's my Killer7? (An obscure but apt reference there.....)

Shame about Unicorn even though I am to blame too without purchase (being between jobs is a good excuse though). Nice to see the percentages, Switch seems to be a very viable system all told.

Ubisoft, Warner and 2K. They drop sales quickly. Sometimes only a month after release MK1 and Arkham Trilogy are already close to half price. Borderlands 3 has already hit that. Makes me wonder how their sales are at launch.

@LikelySatan I tried it on PSP but it was basically impossible without Japanese knowledge. Seemed like it had a lot of similarities to Odin Sphere though. I had forgotten about Grand Knights Story and I think there was a life sim on DS as well. Maybe with the success (I think?) of 13 Sentinels and the possible success of this one (all good reviews so far it seems), maybe there will be some renewed interest in their back-catalogue. It would be nice anyway (are you reading this Digital Eclipse?)

Exiled nobility rallying an army to reclaim his birthright? With Dune 2 doing well at the box office currently..... hm.

Would love the othet Vanillaware games on Switch, seems like the perfect place for them. We have three now so I think that leaves Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown and Muramasa. Unless by some magic they can also dust off and localise Princess Crown. Had an old PSP Japanese copy of that which has been lost to time.

@Astral-Grain @Truegamer79 think I come in on your side here and The Outer Worlds is probably the best comparison on Switch along with maybe Darksiders 3 too. It is a visual downgrade for sure and the perfirmance is janky but it isn't worse than a lot of stuff from the Amiga and PS1 era. Better elsewhere, yes; unplayable, no. But like I said in my post you probably need a bit of "old games-style" tolerance for the problems. Honestly my main issue with the game is that I don't like the floaty feeling of the Batmobile and the constant tank interruptions, things that a problem with the design, not the performance.

Also, I've installed the patch now and for people saying it adds 16GB extra, it doesn't. It seems to be largely over-writes and file replacement because the game is only a couple of gigs bigger after the install.

Hm. Not sure where to come down here. I picked this up recently with some heavy discounting considering Knight as a bit of a "bonus" but I have actually spent more time with it so far than I did with the other two. It is a stutter-fest for sure and even I had to reboot once because it wouldn't cooperate. But... maybe I'm just in impressed that they got something like this (that my PS4 seemed to struggle with when it first launched) running on mobile tech that must be about ten years old in real terms at this point. I always thought the excessive Batmobile sections made the game the worst of the trilogy anyway but, well, I've actually been preferring it as a mobile game. Maybe because I used to love games like Hunter on the Amiga that probably ran at about 7FPS that it just doesn't affect me so badly. Anyway, hope they keep working on it. On discount the trilogy is still worth it for the first two and Knight is playable if you have sufficient tolerance for jank, like in the old days.

I am sure I will get this eventually but how eventually will depend on whether it is delivered as a DLC or just as a new version. I love Atlus games, one of my favoyrite producers, but their strategy of releasing enhanced standalone versions of their ganes (normally after enough time has passed to make you think that they won't) is getting annoying and borders on unethical, even if not legally so.

@120frames-please yep Amiga too, which kind of brings us back to Psygnosis and Sensible!
