Looks much better in motion than in stills. Looks really good.

Surprised no mention of that one background that looks basically identical to Last Resort level 1 to me.

Doesn't really need 60fps. Definitely does not need that 3D makeover. Yucky.

For any Suda fan, the spoiler is in the title.

I don't care, just pointing it out.

So basically wait at least 7 days to purchase it? weird

For me the main, possibly only real weakness of the Messenger is that it's too long! I've not finished and I doubt I ever will. I absolutely loved the first few hours, but got totally burned out.

Got the SNES / Super Famicom visual compendium and Super Famicom Box Art Collection for Christmas, and they're ... alright. Some nice visuals. Not a patch on the ROM Mega Drive book, which is one of the best books I ever bought.

If physical meant you got the finished, complete, unbuggy version that could sit on a shelf forever I would prefer that. Like my collection of Mega Drive games. But physical is normally version 0.9 these days so we're all basically buying digital to a degree.

The last one will shock you!

Hamster, M2 and Retropie have spoiled me with good scan line filters. I cannot go back.

momentary confusion due to thumbs up on the first screenshot.

good to get more coverage.

@Pazuzu666 me for one. If companies like capcom can't offer an experience at least equal to Retroarch, I will save my money.

STG? FFD? WTF?

The only procedurally generated game I've ever loved is Spelunky. And it not only works there but is invaluable to the game design, since you can and do restart the game multiple times per hour, especially in the beginning.

I'm not sure what the point is here. How many players will ever play twice , let alone multiple times? Seems like a huge waste of effort that could have been spent elsewhere.

"The Power of Money will overcome!" That sounds a lot like micro transactions.

Which are gross

man, it pisses me off that the Capcom collection doesn't have scanline filters. I find that a requirement for most retro games, but especially fro games like final fight. I was really looking forward to it til I found that out.

It looks visually amazing, but both clumsy and procedural generated leave me uncertain. looking forward to a review

I just love that Mega Drive card.

Sonic 2 is my Catcher in the Rye, I can't not buy it.

I was excited to try this, but found it very dull. Admittedly I did not get far, maybe an hour. My main gripe was that for a game where walking and opening things are the main interactions, both felt clunky and dull.

@Glitchling78 I had a very similar experience. Reviews were so mixed. And it does seem o be one of those games where you either get or you don't.

I especially loved the music.

Admittedly topping the first one would be pretty tough.

Can't wait for this!

I've never tried this, nice t be able to. I absolutely loved Crystal Bearers though. Very different obviously.

Man I'd just love a Crystal Bearers 2!

I'd rather grab an HD update to Skyward Sword on Switch

I absolutely loved this on PS4 until I got distracted by life and stopped playing for a bit. When I went back I just found the difficulty insurmountable, not least becasue I was stuck just before the 4th boss.

Incredible game though, and so beautiful.

@aaronsullivan That's very interesting to know. Maybe one day I'll go back. I felt like at one point things started opening up suddenly, and then just as suddenly it stopped again and I found myself just fighting to same enemies again and again, and as you say its just mysterious.

I can totally see the games quality though. I think my opinion on these things is also guided by my very limited time. I only get to play maybe 30min a day these days, so when I've been playing for 2 weeks and I still don't know what I'm meant to be doing I kind of lose interest.

My biggest problem with the game was its length. Loved it for a few hours, then got super bored. More content was not what I needed.

I actually thought the video published a little while ago was for an alpha build or something - I was a bit shocked when it appeared on the eShop

very intriguing

I hope this kicks off a new wave of on rails light gun games on switch. I still go back to play these on Wii.

Edit: Drat! I just realised this this is Time Splitters , not Time Crisis!

@RailX Looking forward to Trying Dead Cells, but I'm of the same opinion on Hollow Knight. I was so excited for it, loved it for hours, but soon just found it a boring slog, despite the obvious effort that has gone into it.

I kind of wish there was a version I could get through in 5 hrs.

Feels like they played a lot of Journey to research the making of this one

@Turbo857 yeah! It's my most replayed Metroid because it's just so much fun moment to moment. Clunky it's not.

Other M is actually a fantastic game with some story issues. It's top 4 for me. Its popular to hate on it, but I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in trying something unique. Just ignore a lot of the dialogue.

@BionicDodo consider my mind blown. Thats amazing, thanks

Waaaaaaaaaaannnnnttttttttt

? Did you guys not see the box for Xenoblade Chronicles 2? Now that was an impressible box!

Also - wouldn't it be funny if it didn't come with the adapter? I love how they list that like its an extra bonus

@Cartune and then made this comment and closed the link.

Can't believe I might still buy a 3DS game. I thought Metroid was the last one.

@BensonUii thank you!

This looks terrific. My dad was a huge fan, so its a bit of a blast from the past for me too.

I'm pretty sure I could have done that back in the day. I mean I could beat it pretty confidently after a lot of practice, and its not like the level gives you enough time to respond to visual cues, its all muscle memory.

That was a long time ago, of course.

Might get it on sale.

I'm exactly the sort of person who wanders slowly around museums, savoring the displays. But that is why I got to museums, not why I play games.

I've only played Late Shift, and really enjoyed it more than I thought I would. That said this does not seem to be as good in terms of acting and production.

What could go wrong? Randomly generated levels, that's what!

Amazing! I'm using Labo as rainy day activities with my daughter, so we've not even finished building all the base toys. Garage looks awesome.

Well done to these folks.

Censorship is so messed up. I have little issue with my kid seeing this, but imagery for games like Outlast in the eshop are highly problematic.

@SegaBlueSky hey thanks for pointing this out, I missed that

I think I'll go for it, I'm a Sega kid and I've loved Read Only Memories books before.

I really love it, but I wonder how much content there actually is. 5 Cabinets seems a bit light, unless they go really deep in terms of content.

Their Mega Drive book is m very favorite coffee table book, so I'm super tempted.

@VigilThief I used to find excuses to go home over lunch breaks to play Septerra Core, and then stay there for 3hours, hoping no one noticed. I got so hooked on that game. That they never made a sequel is tragic, that ending was a blow to the gut.

and yes - definitely reminds me of it.
