@EarthboundBenjy "videogamedunkey way overhyped this one too"

Wasn't Animal Well literally one of the highest-rated games of 2024? .-.

@Daggot "If the game engine is doing anything like what SoR4 does, it's not a simple title-based pixel engine. SoR4 does a lot with lighting and effects across the various layers. There are several videos that cover how the game is put together. If Ninja Gaiden is build in a similar way, I can see why it takes more CPU muscle to pull off than what it may look like."

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound looks entirely pixel art — the characters don’t cast any shadows or reflections, and even the visual effects are done in pixel art. It's from the studio that made Blasphemous 1 and 2, and those games had better performance.

People shocked at Link actor having brown hair forgets that the first Link and the "excuse me, princess!" Link were also brown haired. And honestly, if we were able to accept Link getting rid of his green suit, I don't see brown hair as something hard to get used to.

@HotGoomba Hardly, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is a re-release just like Persona 5 Royal and SMT V: Vengeance were. They didn't remaster the graphics at all.

I hope it's not Illumination's Donkey Kong, what a mediocre take on the character.

@Dimjimmer Asían users aren't getting an upgrade, they will just receive a discount if they own the OG one.

Unless it's a walking simulator, videogames will always be 50% art and 50% product.

Could the Switch 2 even run it? It's not a game that was released on PS4.

Lmao, how did they manage to do such an outrageous job at remaking these games three times in a row without having the rights for the franchise taken away?

So many people butthurt at consumers speaking their minds, this is why people see Nintendo fans as conformist bootlickers. I'm glad that Steam users don't downplay this kinda of practices, and this is why Steam remains as the best platform.

I don't get the complaints about the graphics, it looks fine and it's a $35 game, and most important, the game looks fun.

I've also seen people glazing Double Dragon: Neon, and that one doesn't look better.

Kinda low score considering the only 2 Cons... Thou, it also looks like other sites have been less generous with their scores so far, so this is actually one of the higher ones... I guess it'll wait for more reviews.

@MoonKnight7 well, the OG Switch got its 2D Mario 6 years after its release...

So Donkey Kong is a groomer now or the previous lore is no longer canon?

@westman98
>"Nobody picked up a Switch 2 to play full-priced late ports of years-old games"

>Cyberpunk is the best selling third party game

"Meanwhile, for the US, Circana states that 68% of sales were for first-party, excluding the bundle."

Wtf? Are they counting the upgrade packs in those sales? Because what other first party game did Nintendo release? .-.

So... is this one of those games where you are in disavantage for not using the accessibility features?

Does the Mario kart sale figures include the copies included with the console? Because it wouldn't make sense that many people bought the game.

Also, very suprising that the software sales for the switch 2 are so low overall, people basically only bought mario kart.

It's closer to PS4 pro, everything else is copium; unless the Series S is really that trash.

Suprisingly low debut for the Switch 2 considering that the PS5 and Xbox Series experienced shortages at launch.

@Teksette You right, Yakuza 0 is the best jumping-on point for the series.

@deadmaker Considering they are charging more for the game now, I doubt they are going to offer the new content as an update.

@deadmaker They will most likely just delist the original.

After watching the new cutscenes on YouTube I can say this director cut version is just a cash grab to take advantage of the switch 2 launch hype and charge 50 bucks for what was 20 bucks.

Yakuza 0 is still a great game thou, even if most of the new scenes aren't good, the base game has the quality to be worth the 50 bucks.

@Axecon If the battery last less than two hours people doesn't need much time to notice that XD

Kinda sad that it took Game Freak an entire console generation just to reach standard Switch 1 performance. Let's hope they are able to keep that performance when they start to make exclusive games for the Switch 2.

It looks like Wild Hearts managed to flop twice XD

@TheExile285 Yakuza 0 was made after Yakuza 5, so the writing of the series had matured a lot at that point.

Yakuza 0 has a great pacing, a good use of plot twists, less tropey writing, it's better at organically connecting subplots and moving the story fordward, Kiryu and Majima have actual character development, It's great at making every character interesting and properly giving them timet to shine(you can easily notice a downgrade in characterization for every returning character in Yakuza 1), and due to it being conceived as a prequel to YK1, a lot of the characters "introduced" in Yakuza 0 have important roles and further development in the next game (Yakuza 1), unlike in other entries where most characters introduced in a entry either die in the same game or just disappear from the story in the next one; the story was made with a clear direction in mind, unlike other games where the writers were just throwing ideas and seeing what stick.

Yakuza 0 is such a masterpiece, sadly Yakuza 1 to 5 are kinda trash story-wise.

@The_Spanner Very often it's the leadership's fault, not the employee's fault.

@ButterySmooth30FPS This is a cross-gen title, and it's still going to be more expensive on switch 2. The panic for $80 games made people forgot that $70 for a game was supposed to be an exception for Nintendo games only 2 years ago, but now it's the base price for Nintendo titles. Game freak is definitely going to charge 80 buck for switch 2 exclusive Pokemon games.

How would he know about the remake if he isn't involved in it? .-. He's probably just referring to the rumors.

It's surprising that they keep releasing these games considering the bad reception of the first 2 remakes. I guess the money that Nintendo paid for the temporal exclusivity is keeping the project afloat.

Ys Seven has the best designs of Adol and Dogi, it's cool to see them again.

@Zufolobelisk The game also flopped, so yeah, most people hated it.

Kinda expectable considering they haven't released anything since Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair(2019) and their only new project is a remaster of the first Yooka-Laylee. Only 2-3 years passed between the first game and the Impossible Lair, it's really weird that they had spent the last 5-6 years in a remaster.

His design doesn't really look that brand new, it's more an updated render.

I don't see why making those figures if Samus is not going to look hot.

Yo, why does the game look like trash in those screenshots? It looks so non-HD.

Did I miss the release of this game?

"Share locally or share online via GameChat."

So it's like Steam Remote Play Together? You can share it to people online?

Does it have crossplay?

I guess people who don't want to play the game can have fun now.

@John_Deacon Retro Studio wasn't working in Metroid Prime 4 when it was announced back in 2017, Bandai Namco was rumored to be the one developing the game. The project was a disaster, so it was rebooted and handled to Retro Studios in 2019.

Donkey Kong Coutry Tropical Freeze(2014) was the last game that Retro Studio released, so we don't have details about what they were doing between 2014 and 2019, but it's safe to assume all their other projects ended up cancelled.

After the first declaractions, the game suddenly got +3k positive reviews. He basically just tricked people into reverse review bombing the game.

Cool, this sure will come in handy for the 2-3 things that you can do in that menu XD
