Whoever

I barely ever buy physical games anymore and haven't really since the 3DS. Last time I bought physical Switch games was for Death Match Love Comedy and Corpse Party entirely because I didn't have a different option and I don't own a single physical Switch 2 game.

I had kind of independently wondering about replaying the 3DS version but I dunno if I actually will or not. It's a game I like but far from love.

@cammers1995 Rumor mill's been saying for awhile they're working on remasters of them, it'll probably happen then.

I really just desperately want Ace Attorney 7.

@Andy_Witmyer He stopped wearing the Triforce boots in, like, 2010? It was absolutely forever ago, I really doubt he'd have any kind of record of that.

I ended up deciding, "You know what, I'm deathly bored with this, I'm just going to go beat the game and be done with this," without even bothering to do that dungeon first so yeah, not really got any emotional investment in this thing.

Really not crazy about either, but the movie one is okay. Switch 2 one looks awful.

@Druidsbrook Yeah, any one of vanilla Steins;Gate, Elite, or this one should be fine places to begin at. Really more than anything just don't start with 0, it will immediately spoil the original; you can't even describe the premise of 0 without giving major stuff away.

Should note that technically the series actually starts at Chaos;Head, but even fans of the Science Adventure series don't really like that one that much and it isn't super related so you can skip over it at least initially.

@Chlocean This one's actually doing the live-2D thing like the Famicom Detective Club remakes where the sprites move around and react instead of being static, that might help.

What's especially baffling about this remake is that it arguably COULD have a purpose if they were bringing back the original script... but this one's based off Elite's heavily trimmed down one so it doesn't even have that going for it.

The only real benefit to it I can see is if they dub it like they did with Anonymous;Code, which makes a game like this a lot easier to multitask with if you can just let it run at points.

Assault's always been my preferred look for them, especially Falco.

And yeah, these new designs look awful. No clue why they keep trying to evoke those stupid puppets with this series, those puppets never looked good.

No interest in it myself but my roommate will probably pick it up so I'll likely at least play it at some point.

@MSaturn The rumor mill's been that this was supposed to be a smaller scale title to put the series back in the public eye and capitalize on the movie and that they're lining up something bigger for next year.

"We're rehashing 64 yet again except we made the character designs way uglier," is definitely a choice I guess. At least it has a level select.

It'll never cease to amaze me how eager people are to lick Nintendo's boots in regards to how much they loathe their fans. Bigger companies than Nintendo let bigger projects than this slide all the time, this isn't some, "We have to protect our property," thing, it's coming from a place of malevolence.

Don't play online so not really anything for me here but glad for the people it does affect.

Shame they're not adding more stuff it seems but I kind of got the vibe this collection didn't perform to expectations, and the rough state it launched in didn't help. Would love a collection of the PS2 games or a modern console port of MK9 or something but even if one of those things does happen I don't think Digital Eclipse will be the ones doing it.

Guessing the fact they're doing two Like a Dragon characters means it's pretty much a lock that the last set of free characters is going to have either Yu or Aigis.

I think the first one has things like about it, but it suffers from 1), poor pacing that just leaves long stretches of the movie with nothing going on, 2), seeming to just change things for the sake of it instead of really thinking through the alterations being made, and 3), having Cole as a random dull OC carrying the movie even though everything about the story they have laid out makes more sense and would be more interesting if Sonya was the lead.

Doubt I'll ever bother. I spent most of the DLC getting increasingly frustrated with the game until I finally decided to delete it to make room for other stuff after I hit the special scans and five months later I haven't touched it since.

Zelda games barely even have stories. Lore isn't plot.

I haven't finished it yet but I've played far enough in I feel confident in giving it an 8. It's nothing mindblowing but it knows what it is and does it well, even if I do have some occasional complaints about it.

I ended up losing interest in it pretty quickly. It's fun, but it feels like it's destined to be one of those, "Once a year I play it for a weekend," kind of games.

I'm waiting for word of mouth before I pay much mind to it. Yoshi games are way too inconsistent in quality for me to get hyped for it, for every Woolly World there's a Crafted World.

Already increasingly growing tired at how much, "Create synergy with our awful movies," is seemingly becoming Nintendo's primary business focus.

Games pretty much completely lose me the instant deckbuilding is a thing, but hope it turns out well for the people who are interested. Also hoping they don't stop supporting Vampire Survivors in light of its release.

I decided after runs of the demo on both the Switch 2 and PS5 to get Pragmata on the latter, probably won't get anything big on the Switch 2 until whenever Fortune's Weave comes out.

Honestly the most I want out of Star Fox is for them to put Assault on NSO. I don't think there's anything you can really reasonably do to make a rail shooter worth $70 in this day and age and I'm kind of annoyed that Star Fox just keeps getting chances after Assault (which is my favorite of them granted), Command, 64 3D, Zero, and Starlink all flopped. If anyone other than Miyamoto created it the series would've been dead and rotting for good 20 years ago.

Replaying Twilight Princess mostly, tempted to take a detour into replaying Fire Emblem Awakening or Hotel Dusk.

I've kind of long been meaning to pick the game up, though bit undecided if I want to do so on the Switch or Steam.

Really can't at all see any point in remaking any of them but I wish they'd port WW HD, TP HD, and Link Between Worlds.

I'm especially baffled by the calls to remake Ocarina of Time. Zero point in it, the game's aged perfectly fine, especially the 3DS version, and just about anything you could do to try to modernize it would probably just make it worse especially if you try to mutilate it into more closely resembling BotW.

Glad to see they're still using the redesign for Tiny, always way preferred that look. The original looks way too much like Dixie on a budget while the Diddy Kong Racing design is much more unique.

Plus Tiny was always bigger than Dixie anyway because she's taller in DK64 than Diddy is.

I'd maybe pick up the Rosalina one if it were like $10 cheaper but I can't really justify it at the price it's at.

Really never been even slightly interested in these movies or pretty much any other conceivable Nintendo one.

I've seen people begging for an Ocarina of Time remake for awhile lately and I have absolutely no idea why. The game's aged mostly pretty well, especially the 3DS version, and at best it's just a completely pointless one-to-one and at worst you mutilate the game into something it isn't to try to chase the trend of Breath of the Wild. Either way seems like a super easy thing for me to pass on.

As for Star Fox it'll flop just like every other entry in this series post-Adventures has flopped (and I say this as someone whose favorite game in the series is Assault). The audience just isn't there for it because they keep trying to reinvent the wheel and you can't really sell people on a $70 rail shooter.

Yeah, just like Pokemon Bank was the future of the series right up until they replaced it with a separate service that's triple the cost.

@Moonlessky What makes it especially weird is they're mostly still in the data, just missing the models and music. It'd be pretty trivial to put them back in.

Granted I'm kind of inclined to think part of cutting them was just general dissatisfaction with them, since they don't really fit the game's typical level structure while the Odyssey levels do.

Weighing in on the replaying games thing, generally I'm a lot more inclined to replay something for the hundredth time over playing something new. Though tying it back to Mario Wonder, I feel like it's pretty low on the list of 2D Mario games I'd be inclined to regularly replay; top of my head I'd definitely slot SMB1-3 (though not Lost Levels), World, Yoshi's Island, NSMBWii, and NSMBU over it. I've done three runs of it (one very soon after the first one) but I don't really expect my fourth to be any time soon.

Leon, but I really want a Revelations 3 focused on Ashley. Never minded her in the original but the remake made her a genuinely great character.

Definitely sounds worth skipping then. Rosalina and the new powerup are kind of tempting but I cannot at all justify paying $20 for seven levels and I don't care about the multiplayer.

I realize it's not super popular but it's really weird that Luvdisc isn't one of the options. Especially given it's not like Dedenne's a fan favorite.

Might give it a look sometime if there's some kind of single player component but if it's just playing with other people then this offers nothing for me. Think last time I played Pokemon multiplayer outside of raids was gen 5 and I barely did it back then.

I rather like the character designs but I kind of just have this thing where my interest levels in a thing plummet the instant you add mechs to it.

Personally the only ones of the games I've ever actually beaten are 4, the 4 remake, and the 3 remake, though I keep meaning to try and dig into most of the rest of them (probably never playing 0 or 6). Will probably buckle down on Requiem soon.

I played Fever a lot for the first few days then just kind of lost interest. I'm sure it'll be a game I come back to and fiddle with periodically but I don't think I have much interest in making a longterm thing of it, especially since I prefer not to play online.

Really wish you could actually play a full length game of tennis and that there were a middle ground on the AI between, "Completely ineffectual," and, "Will just keep the ball in play forever until you use a fever shot."

@ThaBEN This is for February, it hadn't come out yet.

I spent a year and some change playing New Horizons when it first came out, but I think I've had my fill of Animal Crossing. I know sooner or later they're going to get abandoned and well before that point it becomes a matter of, "Ugh I guess I've gotta check in today fiiiiine," so I think it's better for me to just disengage from the cycle from this point. I've certainly had fun with the series over the years but I don't have any real further interest in it.

Not used it, can't see a scenario where I ever would. Prefer to play games alone and if I want to chat with someone I can use Discord.

Granted it's not like this is a uniquely Nintendo thing either, never owned a mic on the 360 or PS4 and on the PS5 I disabled it immediately. Even if I have to play online for whatever reason I don't want to talk to people while I'm doing it.

Nothing eShop-wise for me for the time being, but did shell out to import copies of the Corpse Party series and Death Match Love Comedy since their US releases were blocked.

Always way preferred the menu profile select over the in-game one certain games do so that's a very welcome change.

As for getting the DLC, I'm going to need to wait and see just how many single player levels it has. If it's just one for each Koopaling then I don't think I can justify the cost spent, but if there are some more than that then combined with Rosalina and the new powerup I might be able to convince myself to go for it. Either way it's pretty clear the multiplayer's the primary selling point and there's no chance I'm ever touching any of that.

The first AI: The Somnium Files is another one that super benefits from this. It already gained a lot from the Switch 2 cutting down its loading times but now it actually looks pretty nice handheld compared to how before there was a lot of fuzz around the models. Having played the game on both PS4 and Switch the gap is nowhere anywhere near what it was.

I assume Nirvana Initiative got a similar glowup, though that one generally looked and ran a bit better than the original game in the first place.
