But to be fair "The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past And Four Swords" is 12 words long and that's pretty close.
@Xbox_Dashboard I'll grant you that there are some questions regarding the Blizzard stuff but your second point about a "bullseye" is a little strange considering all we know is pyoro's source is that they work for Nintendo of Japan. Beyond that he didn't even know how their own source was getting info so there's not a lot for anyone to go on. The source still seems pretty anonymous to me. Perhaps I'm wrong and this is somehow enough information to single out the true leaker, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo already knew this.
@timp29 people keep saying this but how are you supposed to keep the anonymity of an anonymous source? Schreier has a long track record of journalistic integrity. If he says he made the terms clear I'm inclined to believe him until it's proven otherwise.
I love Chrono Trigger. It's the game that for my wife into RPGs. That said, while i'd love an HD-2D remake I really think this game deserves a full on 3D blowout.
From what I've gathered from the comments retro is "when I personally was a kid and there is no leeway at all I am the arbiter of all temporal matters," so that means that the cutoff is PS1/N64 and just by a hair because I'm 44.
That said, I think at least 20 years makes the most sense. Think of how we classify music as "the oldies" and ask yourself if you'd play Adele or Taylor Swift on an oldies station.
@MinervaX I've got some bad news for you, DQ1 on the NES is about 100 times simpler than FF1 on the NES. I loved both when I was a kid but Dragon Warrior as it was called in the West back then is only about 20 minutes of gameplay with about 4 hours of grinding. There is arguably only one boss and one dungeon in the whole game. Here's a summary of the entire game: SPOILERS (Not really) - - - - The Dragon Lord is bad go fight him.
@CapitalQ you act like they're running on the same engine or that you know everything about what's going on under the hood to get the games looking and playing the way they do. SMRPG also came out about a decade before TTYD. There's a lot more animation in the background of the latter.
@Servbot_EJ I love the world building in that game. I went through a mountain of AA batteries playing that game on the OG Gameboy. Really wish they'd port the 2009 Japanese only DS remake.
@Desrever I don't mean to criticize because I still like it very much, but I think you're missing a golden opportunity in your avatar by not having Super Mario World's galoomba in there and also having it labeled "not a goomba"
@GravyThief true, and I typically prefer that as well. The video creator only had like 500 subs yesterday so maybe they were trying not to take potential viewers away from her.
I really don't like VI - the bloated cast and the magic system that made every character interchangeable in battle. The incredible first half was all I used to play back in the 90s. I usually lost interest after the world blew up. However, even a FFVI hater like myself recognizes Kefka as a great villain.
@Maxz thanks, this is well put and now I don't have to poorly try to angrily explain it myself. I would however like to point out that this level also violates the TOS.
@OorWullie Usually when people post parody lyrics like this they get all weird with the syllables and there's no rhythm at all. You, however, have done very well.
@OnBeingHuman it's primarily because a couple of years ago they increased world height and depth by a significant amount. The game is just getting bigger and it just can't quite run on console hardware anymore, particularly on the Switch. Sadly it will never be "fixed" because it's outgrowing our hardware. It doesn't even run very well on PS4 anymore, but it runs fine on PS5. (The PS5 still has to run the PS4 version, so the software is the same) We'll just have to get more powerful hardware
@valcoholic it gets better and better as you go through it. Also if anyone is in the fence about a game that you have to play through multiple times to actually beat, note that this isn't really true. There's a whole second half after you beat it the second time and it's much different than the first "playthrough"
@Ryan_Again I also ignored it at first. I thought people were just hot for the sexy maid android. Now I own two copies of the soundtrack (without the incredible music this game is just a 9) and I've already preordered the Switch version.
@GamerDad66 I think it's a good way to go, personally. I love Chrono Cross, but it's really not much of a sequel to Chrono Trigger at all, and they are including Radical Dreamers, which I never, ever thought we'd get in any official capacity. I don't want people going into this, playing Chrono Trigger then getting extremely disappointed with Cross. Best way to go is to release this and Chrono Trigger later. (If we're lucky)
These are actually somehow more expensive than the official Nintendo licensed ones. $58.99 will get you an official 128 gb card on Amazon, and since this company's 64 gb is $49.99, we can safely bet that their 128 will be well over sixty dollars.
