Re: You Can Get Your Official 'Year In Review' Switch Stats Now

belmont

My biggest game was Atelier Ryza 2 for 44 hours. After than Mario 64 with 14 and Famicom Detective Club with 6. Biggest month was February obviously since Ryza 2 was released in that month. After the 44 hours of Ryza 2 I bought it also on PS4 where I got the platinum trophy and when I finally got my PS5 I played it there again. I did not play much of my Switch this year. This was because of me getting a PS5 and resident evil village which I played more than Ryza actually.

Re: Trails Of Cold Steel IV Locks In Western Release Dates, Launches This April

belmont

In the last couple of months I played the Sky trilogy, watched the Crossbell games in YouTube and played the four Cold Steel games. I really think that many events in Cold Steel 4 will make no sense if you are not familiar with the characters and their backstories since they are not summarised or explained in it. This game is the epitome of world and character building in the course of many years and I love it for many reasons but it is not an easy recommendation. The Switch version makes sense in Japan since many played the previous games on the PSP and the Vita that were highly popular there.

Re: Nintendo 64 Sales Have Seen A Dramatic Rise On eBay This Year

TBH most of its "best" games have been re-released in more "modern" systems (3ds, Wii U VC) and it has not that much of game diversity anyway (no rpg games etc.). Its controller is well horrible with small buttons etc. I still have mine but I haven't booted it since Majora's Mask. For some reason it resets itself at random times.

Re: New Super Lucky's Tale Will Have The Full Game On Cartridge, No Download Required

And they will release a patch on day one or sometime later that renders the full complete game physical copy unpreservable. It surely is better than Spyro but some sort of issue remains nevertheless. Assuming that Switch carts are good quality that don't fail some years down the line.

Anyway the only 3D platforms I have are Mario 64 and various Crash games so I am not an expert on the genre but I really enjoyed this game. I have not finished it yet but it has good graphics, it is charming and has some variety. Since it has retail copies I guess it will be 35-40 Pounds? If however it is in the 20 mark I may get it.
Edit: The preorder price seems to be 35pounds/40euros

Re: Microsoft Has "No Plans" To Bring More First-Party Exclusives To Other Consoles

belmont

From this PR I understand that the new Xbox Studios won't make new games for other platforms after the end of their current obligations not that Microsoft won't think to publish more of its back catalogue games on other platforms.

As far as Rare Replay is concerned it has the in house xbox 360 emulator. That's why there is no Windows 10 versions and why a Switch game is unlikely. I would want it of course even though I wouldn't mind the new Killer Instict or Recore.

@gamekill After I saw a Sonic game on Nintendo system I don't care about those things. Exclusives sell the consoles but the more people play a game the better. In older generations people that could not afford more than one console missed a ton of games. I am not the biggest fan of BOTW but a 4K/60 fps One X version would be a sight to behold.

Re: Granzella Asks Fans If They Want R-Type Final 2 On Switch

belmont

What's the point of this poll anyway? The game is confirmed only for PS4 which is fine for me but has crowdfunding pending and it should be on all platforms anyway. I love R-Type. I really like the Final game too. The title Final 2 is Wii U kind of bad, they should name it something else.

Re: Feature: The Game Boy's Biggest Rival Gets Revived By The Modding Community

belmont

@retro_player_22 This version of Power Rangers (and the Movie version) on the Game Gear are the best games in the franchise and one of the highlights of the system.

I have two unmodded GGs from back in the day. The one has no picture and the other no sound. I really want to get a modded one since I have a handfull of games and the official AC Adaptor...

Re: Game Boy Classic Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Getting Remastered For Switch

belmont

This is actually my favourite game in the series, I even did the secret ending back in the day. TBH I stopped playing the series, I just couldn't get into the games past Majora's Mask. I really love that they are remaking it but come on this art style is bland.

Link looks like a doll and the game seems like a generic ftp game. I hope it improves.
