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.

Want so much

been playing some Drive Club VR lately, and its so great to race in VR. Mario Kart would be amazing

I liked this ok on PS4, but I didn't really get why everyone was raving about it. I found the gameplay very trial and error and the only real difficulty I had was when solutions or items were hidden, usually by the gloomy environments. I remember this one bit that baffled me, until I realised there was a lever that i was simply running past repeatedly without seeing it. Its a good enough game, with great art direction. But I always see massive praise with little counter argument.

I saw it through to the end, but I'd never touch it again.

I was so excited to try this, and downloaded the demo on PS4. But I found the first 10min so repellent that I deleted it immediately.

"It’s guilty of being rather tasteless at times, looking for cheap shocks " is an important part of this review to bare in mind.

@Silly_G You make some really good points.

While I'm not trying to invalidate any of your points, I want to offer some totally subjective counterpoints.

Regarding quality and whether vinyl should exist (not that I buy vinyl myself): I like pixel art. But I really like pixel art with scan line filters and blur that look like games used to look on a CRT tv. Its less crisp and precise, even more so if you add curvature, but I really like it. Others like to see pixel perfect. To each their own and both have a right to exist because there is a market.

When it comes to music I often find a lossless format available for albums I buy on Bandcamp, for example. But I take the MP3s anyway, becasue they're small and convenient and I just don't care that much.

On the digital versus physical issue, I think that physical is going no where, probably ever. Because some people like it, like vinyls. But a digital only future is also quite appealing from a convenience point of view. And then each physical game comes with multiple updates etc that mean your game was not on the cart / disc in the first place. So I don't really know why anyone is worried about this. Analyst and business will make statements and decisions and they will learn what the market wants.

And vinyls will continue to be sold everywhere.

@MegaTen precisely

@BruMeister They do.

@darthstuey not so much sarcastic. Ironic. Real world evidence shows that the analogue / digital / download shakedown that happened and continues to happen in music ended up that whatever medium you want is still pretty widely available. And that you should not take what analysts say too seriously.

@Sakura Bingo!

Vinyl is dead. It's a completely worthless medium in the face of new technologies. You'll never see it for sale in stores again.

And unlike Yoku's Island and Celeste , it launched at the right price!
