@The_Nintendo_Expat AFAIK, it was literally just the original composition music created for the game by the game's composer (like all the ambient background stuff) that is the issue. Somehow he got a limited time use contract for it???
@gcunit Right?? Game music contracts never need to have any time restrictions, and supposedly this is also why Arkham Origins hasn't been re-released again because SOMEHOW the soundtrack is no longer licensed, again, SOMEHOW.
@PJOReilly "the visual quality mode, whilst fine, isn't worth the sacrifice for how smooth performance feels at a solid 60fps" So you would recommend sticking with Performance Mode, docked to a 4k tv?
I wish they had emphasized more of a fun confidence (in an actual setting) instead a pensive, dour look. This photo looks so stiff and uncomfortably posed, and just...weird. That it's using an Olan Mills family portrait photo backdrop doesn't help.
@MontyCircus I'm honestly shocked DuckTales 2 ranked as high as it did! I'm not saying it's bad, but that's...just higher than I thought it would ever place!
@NintendoWife "Aren't some of them on the online service even?" Nope! (hence why nobody has mentioned that and why people are excited)
And yes, these are the original games in a smooth package that has display options, rewind features, etc. But the games are the games as originally produced.
This took obscenely too long. Still amazed that the DuckTales remaster (and while I'm thinking about it, the Monkey Island special editions) never made it to a Switch after alllll that time.
