Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo GameCube

Living in a student house at the time, we shared all the game platforms of the time. If it was not for Super Monkey Ball, I honestly think the GameCube would have been thrown in the cupboard and forgotten about. Nintendo really screwed up the launch of that console, and when Super Mario Sunshine finally came, the platform was so far behind, and despite the long wait, was not exactly a home run like 64 was.

@TAndvig OK I see what you mean now. But I would say in response to that, is if you do find yourself under-leveled in the game, there are plenty of ways to level up while still role-playing as a stealthy assassin. You are right though, in order to make efficient progress, it is best to engage in fighting and hunting as well. The game encourages you to play it as an action-rpg.

I want this on my Switch, but I want them to fix it first. And hopefully discount it to a reasonable price sooner than later.

By the way, I played the original on the PS3 and the performance was crap back then as well. I remember a mate of mine defending it by saying the slow frame rate made it more cinematic LOL! Looks like Switch got the ‘cinematic’ version this time.

@TAndvig how are you playing Odyssey? Running around using melee attacks and going for bow and arrow head shots? That’s fine if you are, but it’s also totally possible to move around like an assassin, stealth killing, hiding bodies, learning guard patterns etc. etc. It’s really fun to play that way... Taking down forts and encampments without ever raising an alarm. Avoiding combat completely and just stealing what you need, or sneaking into your target’s sleeping quarters and killing them in their sleep... it’s all there and plenty of it.
