The worst of the series, this game never ends and not in a good way. I’ll give everyone a heads up, when the old geezer is forced into your party, level him up as for some reason you are forced to play as him.
Something's happened. There's been a change, some shift in values. When you no longer understand your people, maybe it is time to hand it over to the next generation.
I have been playing video games since 1988 when I was two. On an NES. In 2002, I decided to go handheld only since it was cheaper. I kept that going during the DS/3DS era. Then the Switch arrived, and for the most part it is a home console that can be portable. So it follows home console rules. When one does not understand the next generation, I think it is time to give it all up. I don’t care for Mario Kart too much, the last two major Zelda installments I found to be too overwhelming.
I’ve been playing the original one for over twenty years, and this rerelease has the jump button in the wrong spot. It should be A when dealing with GBA games.
It’s funny, when the Vita was out I was buying PS1 Classics and I was shocked by the size of a lot the games, and on handheld with a proprietary memory card?
My physical copy has come in, and it is a massive disappointment. The “A” button does nothing on what is supposed to be a GBA port so my muscle memory is not in tune with this release and there doesn’t appear to be a setting to correct this.

Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?
To be fair, the whole industry has become complacent? The whole attitude of “we can patch it later” and “people will buy it anyways.”

Re: Dragon Quest VII Gets Reimagined For Switch And Switch 2 In Early 2026
The worst of the series, this game never ends and not in a good way. I’ll give everyone a heads up, when the old geezer is forced into your party, level him up as for some reason you are forced to play as him.
