Re: The Last Ninja Collection Brings Seven Retro Games To Switch In 2025

Warioware

Definitely interested in this although age has made the ninja games rather fiddly. I think these were all System 3 games, so maybe these guys have some in on licensing their old games and if so can we get Myth too.....?

As for the VC Last Ninja 3 controversy and withdrawal, as I recall it was actually a poster on this site who blew the whistle on that one. I think the Commodore games being removed was unconnected though and something to do with company issues.

@TheBoilerman Karate Champ (Data East) is pretty similar but the IK games were home games. The weird one is Way of the Exploding Fist which has basically identical assets and gameplay but seemed to share no developers, if anybody knows what the deal was there.....?

@Tom-Massey fair enough sir! Having just marked a ton of end-of-semester exams and not given one perfect score because I just generally don't I can relate to the reasoning.

I have only played a couple of these but I am not sure that the entry requirements are that high if you just want to enjoy the comicbook spectacle (like me) and I assume there are difficulty sliders but I believe there is a good amount of nuance for the more pro crowd too.

Re: Review: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics (Switch) - A Stunning Showcase Of '90s Fighter Evolution

@LadyCharlie hiya, yeah I have heard the term plenty of times but I just personally hate it. I worked in a supermarket for two years and it reminds me of the very unfun scroll of products coming to my scanner! But on a less personal note I just don't feel that the translation works here and does the best of the genre a disservice - brawler or beat 'em up feels so right for the action on screen. Belt scroller sounds more like work than a game

Still looking forward to giving this a go and I am also hoping for a Fighting Collection 1 and 2 bundle so that I can justify picking up Red Earth despite owning the other games through Arcade Stadium.

For the target audience shouldn't this be a 10? There do not seem to be any faults. On a personal level it adds to my lamentation on the death of single player content in fighters (because this has plenty). Can we also get rid of this awful "belt scroller" tag - "beat 'em up" and "brawler" have served us just fine for nearly 40 years now.....

Re: Review: Castlevania Dominus Collection (Switch) - The Strongest Konami Compilation Yet

Warioware

All these collections have been great, this one included. But please don't JUST port SOTN - we need ROB too (TG16 version, still my favourite CV to date). If there are legal issues around the Requiem collection then maybe upscale the PSP's Dracula X since it included both games and tge remake (plus a prototype if I remember correctly). But if they do a fourth collection, stick Rebirth on there too.

Re: Reaction: Shadow Drops & Surprises - A Stuffed Direct With Something For Everyone

Warioware

@PinderSchloss exactly, like that awful way some people talk to the elderly as if they're toddlers! If you have played 52 Worldwide Games it's similar there and a reason that I struggle to boot that up even though it's a good filler game (plus it openly insulted my teaching profession). I would actually be quite interested in the history of some of the games there but not as glibly explained by party clowns for babies. With the directs, some of the broadcasts have an 18+ rating too because of the games they're showing so it all feels a bit, well, no thanks.....

Re: Yakuza Kiwami Brings The Dragon Of Dojima To Switch For The First Time

Warioware

Yakuza 0 would have made more sense to me since it is a relatively "contained" experience. This one is also one of the more stripped down entries in the series if I remember correctly too, with not many mini games or arcade games since it is still based on the first game in the series. I think the more recent games might be a bit too demanding or simply large for the current Switch but this is one of my favourite game series so it is good to see it reaching out even further.

Re: Aspyr Publisher Switch Sale, Up To 95% Off - Star Wars, Tomb Raider & More

Warioware

I will say it again here because I think my last poat about this got drowned - I did eventually get my download code in place of the missing KOTOR2 DLC. I had to chase them a few times but they were very polite and prompt once the issue with issuing it was identified (their system seems to be misplacing some of the emails for this). Just in case anybody is still after a code.

Re: Critically-Panned 'Borderlands' Movie Flops At The Box Office

Warioware

@Toastmaster it is possible that I saw a trailer and just didn't notice - I can bearly remember the trailer I saw just a week ago At any rate, this seems like Madame Web - a background movie at best, probably with a bottle or two. But even then I suspect that there are much better uses of my time. Whatever your interests or perspective, movie writing has been down in quality these last few years. If I am questioning motives and logic whilst I am actually watching it (even after those bottles) then there might be a problem

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's New DLC Fighter Arrives Next Week, Here's Official Gameplay

Warioware

This has been heavily patched on Switch and is now a pretty decent portable option (my preferred gaming experience these days). Takeda looks like a good new character too with a fairly unique style.

As for the second pass I actually don't want Ghostface (haven't followed Scream in years but isn't the character generally just a normal person in a Halloween costume with no real abilities?). If they go with the MK, DC and licensed route then I would personally like to see Kintaro and Darkseid and then some WB property representation - maybe Immortan Joe (Mad Max), Agent Smith (The Matrix) and Feyd Rautha (Dune). Keeping a sci fi franchise theme.

Re: Yes, Beyond Good And Evil 2 Is Still In Development

Warioware

@speedracer216 that trailer was embarassingly horrendous! As I recall there was a trailer before that featuring Jade and Peyj and I think another after it that was again tonally different (negative response to the monkey thing perhaps). Frankly though I have relatives in secondary school who weren't born when the first trailer came out so it could be a farm life sim at this point for all we know.....

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch

Warioware

@stinkyx yep. I would say that is an issue across the industry (and the film industry seems to have done this too) of just remaking or re releasing old games. I love the Persona series but P3 now has about 5 versions, the latest of which probably had a big enough budget to just make a new game. On the Switch I think Ubisoft have put out more new DK and Starfox content than Nintendo!

Re: Some Of The "Original Developers" Are Working On Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Warioware

I know nothing about development but if there is sound creative direction and vision then, as with many creative projects, things should turn out well, no? This looks like a worthy addition to the series from what little we have seen so far (and I say that even though I am not totally sold on the art style).

And, whilst I am here, again - time for the Mario and Luigi Collection on Switch (or 2), right? I can dream.....

Also, why does Partners In Time seem to be lost to, well, time? Loved that game.

Re: Gallery: Check Out The Stunning High-Def Character Art For Marvel Vs. Capcom Collection

Warioware

Definitely want this. Is the Capcom Fighting Collection worth getting just for Red Earth? It's a game I am really curious about and the collection is 65% off in EU regions currently, but I have every other game in the collection through the Arcade Stadium collections. Seemed like an odd approach by Capcom there and wondering if it might get a future release elsewhere. Also worrued these might too
