They could have put that in the box to foster loyalty, instead of the useless NSO pamphlet that only a niche base will see, and probably already pay for.
They put all that work in and you still can't open the system menu in the GameBoy app using the official wireless NES controllers. Nintendo really fell off.
Nightdive's track record speaks for itself. Nintendo hasn't a leg to hobble on for doubting them. Plus, it would give them a shot at the PC market. A test run, if you will.
Still no minus button macro, or mapping to ZL for NSO GC controllers. Even Mario 64 got fixed for that, why not this? I swear it's like they don't even play their own games to see the obvious pain points. Bad software design, bad.
I'm glad folks are smart enough to notice the bias.
Companies sure do love paying people to misinform and delude themselves. Must be nice spending the legacy money previous, better employees made for the company coffers.
That safety net should be what drives them to take real risks in order to innovate. Instead they craft soma for their brave new world of cultural malaise.
Lots of Switch 1 games need mouse patches, while we wait for more Switch 2 games. Zombie Panic in Wonderland DX, and all of the Doom games come to mind.
I have fond memories of playing Soul Edge, Calibur II, and III on PS2. III is a beautiful game that really shows off the console's power. Same goes for Tekken 5. Namco were masters of EE+GS technology.
Skipped IV and V. Got back into it when VI hit Steam. It's alright.
With NSO GC and my Hori stick, I'll finally get to have the full Link isekai experience.
The menus are terrible. Give me an analog cursor, and actual signposted/highlighted menu options on the home screen. I played Bleach Brave Souls on the Switch, and it's menu still sucks, but it's leagues better than Hunter's.
The game itself is a basic team shooter, nothing to write home about. You don't even really need to be a team player, because most characters can steamroll everything with the skills you've picked up in a real shooter--like Quake. I don't think I ever ran into a real person on there, either. It's all bots.
What's sad is they know they'll catch flak if they release it on other platforms. It's designed to lure kids into paying, so that's why it's on mobile and Switch. Two platforms with the audience they can prey on. Zynga are some sick mofos.
It's way better than MTX FOMO. Thank the gaming gods there's no DLC planned nor Passes, nor nickel-and-dime garbage like Smash. Oh wait. Is there Amiibo exclusive malarkey? I don't keep up on those plastic tchotchkes.
Good for those that wanted the MD titles. Personally, I really only enjoyed and beat the SNES title as a kid, and found the MD version janky to control, and atrocious in art & sound design. But to each their own.

Re: Anniversary: SNES Action RPG 'Terranigma' Is 30 Years Old Today, And It's Still A 10/10 In Our Book
These masterpieces belong in a released state. In a collection, or NSO, something, anything.
It's a crime that I can dig up classic movies on any streaming service, or find any book at my local library, but video games?
I have to sail the high seas or rob a bank to enjoy those classics.
Shame on this industry.
Re: Feature: "I Think Studio Saizensen And I Will Make A Second Cotton Rock 'N' Roll”
They still haven't patched Silk into the western release. Making playable characters region exclusive sucks. Boo.

SLG has always done right by me, even if they aren't the quickest.
Dispatch Games OTOH... Complete disaster.

Re: Star Wars: Hunters: Cross-Progression - How To Link Your Account
"Link your account" option doesn't seem to exist. I find this disturbing. Pray I don't find myself playing much longer.

Did they manage to fix their disastrous Battlefront collection?
Re: Soapbox: Vanillaware's Most Underrated Game Is More Than Just A Pretty Picture
