I'm interested but I simply don't have enough space on my SD card!

@thinkhector Is Bloodstained really fixed? I know that there were updates, but I understood that there are still FPS drops, Input lag and crashes, especially in the two towers.

@thinkhector Yeah, that's why I hoped that other Developers would make games in a similar style. The only major ones we have so far are Bloodstained and maybe Hollow Knight, although I skipped the former as the switch version has apparently poor performance.

@thinkhector But the last SotN-Follow-up was from 2008! I mean, we need more NEW games in that style : -)

It looks interesting, but I am disappointed that it isn't a Metroidvania. I would sooo love another game like Symphony of the Night.

@Serpenterror Too bad most of these are just remasters of old games.

I wonder why the PS5 sales suddenly increased so much. It's not like some important new game has been released or like there was a sale.

I love the nostalgic graphics in this, it reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

Piranha Bytes are the Creators of Gothic 2, one of the greatest RPGs of all time (and a huge influence on the Witcher series). I hope they will port that game as well at some point.

I hope there will be more games with N64-era graphics, just as there was a revival for SNES-style games. I love this style so much.

@SalvorHardin The GBA was definitely a disappointment in regards to first party games, but the 3rd and 2nd party support was outstanding, with Castlevania, Mega Man, Sonic Advance, Golden Sun, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem etc...

@ballistic90 But they won't release System Shock 1 on Switch. So we will probably not get System Shock 2 either.

@thinkhector It's not the same. The P-Wing was rare and can be used for only one(!) level. But the cape in SMW was literally everywhere and could be used for as many levels as you like.

Maybe that's Miyamoto's idea of the player adjusting the difficulty themselves, that I mentioned earlier. I like it, but I also think that the game did a poor job at communicating this philosophy.

@Slowdive Yes, SMW was the point where Mario games started to get too easy. It's funny, because I've just read two old interviews with Miyamoto about SMW, where he said that challenge is one of the most important things to him in the game. But he said, he expects players to adjust the difficulty themselves with challenges like not activating the big switches, or by beating the game without collecting a coin. Sounds like a nice idea for the next playthrough, too bad I wasn't that creative when I played this as a child! If this was the intended way to play, they should have provided these ideas in the manual, IMO.

@Serpenterror Yes, it doesn't work in every level, but for the open levels it kinda ruins their purpose if you can just fly over them. Also, they already got it right with the raccoon tail in SMB3, that had only limited flying capability. To fly over entire levels you needed the P-Wing which was rare. It's baffling that they changed a system that already worked well in the earlier games to an unbalanced one

Great game overall, but I don't get why they made the cape so overpowered. Flying over entire levels, seriously?

I love the look of this, but I hope it's more difficult than the Dragon Quest Builders games. Unlimited healing kills for me all the fun in games.

So what is the title of this game supposed to mean? Does it even have a meaning?

I finished the demo with mixed feelings. The Shinobi Chapter was quite fun, although I felt the stealth mechanic was a bit half-baked. The other two chapters seemed trivially easy and uninteresting, especially the future one.

It's hard to make a case for the switch version, as the Steam version is currently just 2,44€ and has mod support on top of that.

Lol I was so disappointed when I read the title as I thought for a moment that here will be no Persona 5, good that I read the article

I would prefer that they would finally add GB games to the service

I don't see the point of this collection. Aren't these games already available 3 times on switch, as SEGA Ages, NSO Expansion and Sega Genesis classics entries? What's the point of having them a 4th time?

Without a good single player mode I am not interested. But maybe they will a release an update for the single player?

Please no more remakes. I would love a NEW 2D-Zelda!

Happy to see that there is a revival in 64-bit style games lately.

@TommyTendo I would love a 3D remake of Mother 3 based on the original Nintendo 64 version of the game.

@CANOEberry There were actually two Ultima games on SNES (Ultima VI and Ultima VII). There is also Ultima: Runes of Virtue for the original GB.

That being said, I doubt we will get another Ultima port, for the simple reason that most people nowadays don't seem interested in this series, despite how influential it is.

I don't believe they will add MegaMan and Castlevania, because there are already Megaman and Castlevania Collections in the Eshop.

Still needs a gyro patch.

I hope for GB games.

@solidox Problem is that BOTW does not have the graphics to promote a Switch Pro.

Nintendo should just do what Sony does and release official PC versions of their old games. That would stop all the unofficial fan ports.

I'm happy it's a good game, but 9 points seems too much for a game that lasts only 13 hours at most. It doesn't seem like good value for 60€.

Surprised Mario Odyssey and BOTW are so low.

Talking about lost N64 games, what's the verdict on Dinosaur Planet? Is it the truely great version of Starfox Adventures, as it has been theorized for decades, or was Starfox indeed a faithful port?

Are X and Y opposites? Is A the opposite of B? Is C the opposite of D?

@Greatluigi That was my first thought when seeing the screenshots. The human characters look very non-pokemon.

Studio Ghibli should make a Zelda movie, given that they were the inspiration for BOTW.

I know Gex on N64 didn't get good reviews, but I enjoyed it a lot as a kid. Not sure if I will still like it as an adult.

@Friendly So you think that Zelda is not "suitable to a mature individual"??

@Cia I agree. As a comparison, Music Records with violent / bad language have an "Explicit Content" label.

Maybe violent/scary games should be called "Explicit" instead of "Mature".

@Cia I agree, the definition of "mature" in the context of video games is pathetic. In real life, people who prefer to act violently are often considered immature, so I don't see why it should be any different for games. Part of the problem is probably the ESRB "Mature" rating, which gives some people the wrong impression, that the content of the game is actually mature. Maybe it should be just called "18+" or something.

Mario Odyssey is anyways overrated, so I'm happy it lost it's undeserved 1st place.

The bigger news to me is actually that he didn't consider Zelda or Super Mario as "great" games.

Given that Nintendo has given up on 2D Zeldas, I'm so happy other high-tier developers are continuing this legacy

Did they actually fix the long load times in XCOM? I heard they last 40 - 60 seconds which seems way too long for me.

A really great sale. I would love XCOM2, but my SD Card is already full and these games are crazy large.

I honestly don't see much difference between the pictures.

I honestly hope so, the focus on ports/remakes and lack of new exclusives is really annoying.
