Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation

cainswo

Fine with the hybrid model. I love it. Add a higher number to the next gen. Great! No problems here. Add little things like Joy Con mouse controls. Love it! But…. Here’s what I take out of this topic.

Loved the 3DS stuff. It had apps. It had themes. Things from the Wii and Wii U. Music would play on different channels or apps. I loved that stuff. It gave the consoles so much Nintendo personality. I’d also like them to open the system a bit more. I’m still begging to back up my game save files to my own disk. Not that I’m cancelling NSO, but give me control over that data. I put the time into it.

Minor complaints though. It’s about the games.

Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Upcoming June Nintendo Direct

cainswo

First party stuff:
A Kirby game
New Mario Party
New NSO additions (TurboGrafx16/ PC Engine)
Nintendo Switch Classics Series (price drops and repackaging for your Mario Kart’s, Zelda, etc. Set for holiday, no price drop in console)

Third party:
Dragon Quest III HD2D
Suikoden I&II Remasters (hopefully)

Stuff we won’t see:
Metroid (Prime 4 next year)
Zelda (WW, TP. They don’t exist and that double pack is a not realistic)
Silksong (Just no. Not happening here)

Re: New Rumours About Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Surface

cainswo

It would naturally make sense for all three. I’m not the biggest fan of the Roto/ Erdrick Trilogy, but I’d get this day 1. DQI would be interesting in HD2D.

And as other people already mentioned, the mobile ports on Switch are UGLY!!!!!! Ruins all three games.

Re: Poll: What's The Best SaGa Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking

SaGa II&III are good from the first trilogy.

Romancing SaGa 2 from the SFC era. This is the best game in the franchise IMO. It’s fun playing through generations and choosing who your Emperor/ Empress is (until the endgame). There’s some weird things that can happen to the Seven Heroes and the plot of the game is really interesting. Soundtrack is great too.

Romancing SaGa 3 is okay, but it seems buggy and rushed.

SaGa Frontier is good but frustrating. I like some of the character playthroughs, but not all of them.

SaGa Frontier 2 is great and needs a port or remaster for the Switch/ current gen hardware. Great OST and art design.

I haven’t played anything past the PS1 gen, so I don’t know about more current titles.

Re: Konami's Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Has Been Delayed

@MeatSauce

Oh. I know. Believe me. I am older than you think. Atari 2600 in 87 was my first experience. Kaboom! Couldn’t get enough of it. NES around 88. Nintendo Power subscriber since day 1. Back in those days there was always something to play as a kid. Delays were nothing back then to me. Development doesn’t take 6 months to a year anymore. Seems to me they make a trailer, announce the title, then get to work. Could be 5 years before you see the game. By then you don’r care or forgot. Just my thoughts.

@wiiware Better delayed then a poor quality release? Publishers need to learn how to develop the product before marketing it to consumers. I am tired of excuses these days. Have something of quality to sell before you start hyping up a fanbase. Delays are bad for business in this crowded video game market. Just my thoughts.

Re: Konami's Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Has Been Delayed

cainswo

I am honestly sick and tired of video game marketing. Just please stop showing games that are years out. I only want to see them when a firm release window is in place (your game has completed development and testing). I’m looking at you Konami and Team Cherry.

Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The June 2023 Nintendo Direct

cainswo

Persona 3 Reload
A bunch of DLC
Dragon Quest III HD2D
Konami said Suikoden I and II remasters for 2023, they didn’t show up at Sony, Xbox, or SGF. Now seems like the best time.
Too early for FFT Remaster
No way Silksong is here. That’s probably early next year.
Anyways, I just want some cool games announced. We’ll see.

Re: New Hollow Knight: Silksong Trailer Features In Xbox Showcase, Out In "The Next 12 Months"

cainswo

I don’t remember Team Cherry saying anything about Silksong being Switch exclusive. They planned on launching on PC, macOS, Linux, and Switch, and possibly Xbox and Playstation later on. Hollow Knight did really well on the Switch and the release there probably got the majority of the current fan base. Microsoft comes along and wants it on Gamepass. Rightfully so.

Maybe there was no release date or year because they already had a deal with Nintendo to have that a future Direct. Speaking of a Direct, can we please get the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on Switch?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 30th)

cainswo

Trying to wrap up my backlog before SMT V in a couple weeks.
Metroid Dread- searching for a few extra Energy Tanks for the last boss. Died a bunch of times already.
Mario Party Superstars with friends
Maybe a few rounds of Mario Golf.
Then probably some N64 and Genesis. I caved and got the Expansion Pack.
Have a good weekend everyone.
