TBH this is a game that needs a remake, not a remaster. Upgraded visuals are nice, and them taking out tank controls will certainly help, but at its core its still just gonna be an incredibly basic platformer with small areas with almost nothing to do in them beyond some jumping and the occasional enemy.
Been using the pro controller d-pad when in docked mode, and hori switch pad pro d-pad when playing handheld. 4 worlds completed so far and having a blast!
Would have been nice if Aspyr in ANY WAY gave a reason why they weren't doing it. Instead they waited months after it was supposed to release and simply said "we aren't doing it now" and moved on. I have the LRG physical copy that I haven't even bothered to unseal lol.
That said, as annoyed as I am, I don't see this case going anywhere.
genuinely don't understand the point of collecting so many copies of the same game. variants? sure. the exact same game? pointless and robs other people of the ability to own it.
Give me a demo pls. Not paying a penny until I can actually try the game first to make sure it a) runs well and b) plays well (I find most racing games these days don't control well).
Over 40 hours into the game now, playing in both handheld and docked, and I haven't noticed any issues. I've just been having an absolute blast with it, same as I did when I played it on PS4 last year.
Give it another day or 2 and no doubt other sites will have pre-orders available. Base.com has had Bayo 3 available for pre-order since it was ANNOUNCED lol.
Currently playing through it for the first time, despite owning it on Wii U since it came out there lol. I'm mostly enjoying it. I don't mind it being grindy with plenty of encounters, and the simplicity has a certain charm to it (the original Dragon Quest is a personal fav of mine too). However, like a lot of these early rpgs, the cryptic nature of exactly what to do and where to go can get tiresome. Like, how the bloody hell was I supposed to know I had to buy the baby bird and return it to its mother in order to get a music note in order to BEAT THE GAME? If I hadn't checked a guide to see what a particular item did and noticed that part, I would have gotten to the end of the game and been clueless as to why I couldn't finish it lol.
played fine for me, but the trial only lasted like 10 mins. not nearly enough time to make me decide if I'd wanna buy the game (and even if I did I'd get the non switch version lol).
I mostly collect to have games from my childhood again, or games I simply missed out on at the time. Then I also collect wrestling games with the idea to have ALL OF THEM, even though I'm 99.99999999% certain I'll never achieve such a goal lol.
Always go with water starters on my first playthrough of any pokemans game. Though I am extremely upset that my fav FERALIGATR is once again left out. Stoopid gamefreak doing the fire one for Gen II representation
America got that awesome mario pin set and we get... posters. LOL. Oh well, I'll grab em. Had a few sets of posters from them in the past, might as well add these to the collection
