Damn, I hope DQ 1 and 2 have major changes, otherwise I'm most likely skipping them.

DK and Diddy kong models definitely looks different, but I don't, everything else looks a little too wii-like.

@Kienda I think most gamers being male is pretty basic knowledge .-. Higher percentages of female gamers in some studios is mostly due to including the mobile market.

I want to scream WOKE!

But I'm actually asleep at this one.

It's nice to see sites providing the announcements of these smaller showcases, it was annoying when no one covered the guerrilla collective showcase.

3D or non-pixel art 2D, HD-2D games looks pretty samey.

For anyone still interested, Kotaku confirmed indie games actually don't have to pay for the slot.

"After the publication of this story a handful of indie publishers and developers contacted Kotaku and explained that some “free slots” are provided to smaller, non-AAA games and studios. It appears that Keighley is sometimes pitched games to include and he provides some free airtime for these projects as part of the “earned editorial placements” previously mentioned."

@larryisaman @larryisaman It's a fair comparison when you consider Yooka Laylee had 60 times the budget of Hollow Knight.

Damn, I didn't know the studios that made Lies of P, Party Animals and Palworld had that much money, those games had a 1-minute-long trailer in last year Summer Game Fest.

But I'm way more suprised at lesser-known tittles such Lysfanga The Time Shift Warrior, Fae Farm World and Yes, Your Grace, that price doesn't sound that unattainable when you see smaller studios like those getting a spot.(Thou considering I had never heard of them until looking for titles featured in last year showcase, maybe those weren't good investments)

@larryisaman It's hard not to think there was a serious mismanagement when Team Cherry made Hollow Knight with only a 2% of the budget of Yooka Layle.

I've always seen The Impossible Lair more as the studio finally being able to adjust the scope of their project to something more appropiate for an indie game. The Impossible Lair was a smaller yet very polished title.

@larryisaman "it was obvious that they just didn’t have the time or budget to really do it justice"

More like just they were just rusty and didn't have experience making indie games, because no way one of the most funded kickstarter projects didn't have enough budget.

Does this game really needed a remaster? .-. All the new features sounds like things that could have been easily added to the original one. It doesn't even looks that much better, it looks a little too UnrealEngine-like to my taste.

@Tupin " I only ask you to look at the YouTube comments, the steam forums, some of my QTs and even in the comments of the video itself. This, paired with the emails, messages and beyond make this assertion that harassment isn’t happening, or the requirement that we need to prove it, extremely hard to take on board."
He's actually also counting the hate toward the game itself as harassment, and didn't really mentioned harassment toward the other staff members. He's more talking about people saying "No harassment at all" while my comment is about 'how big these harassment campaigns actually are.

You can call it "being too cynical", but if someone with opposite beliefs said something similar without offering proof, one wouldn't have the same supportive reaction.

Reading the article and the comments, it's wild how many people are omitting the fact that most of the controversy came from the game being associated to Sweet Baby Inc.

Honestly it has always been kinda hard to tell how big are these "harassment campaigns", maybe they are just being blew out of proportion to boost their image and promote their game. Like, I get it, at least a couple of people most likely went to send him private messages, but did a considerable amount of people do it? Or is he also counting internet conversations mocking him as harassment? He also Included the studio workers, I don't think there was that many people wanted to harass them considering the creator was the one that was on the center of every headline, but who knows.

I'm just saying, people in internet is quick to accept anything as a fact to validate their beliefs.

@CutchuSlow The same case applies to Retro Studio and I don't see anyone complaining.

If even Satan himself(Activision) sold the Crash N same trilogy for 40 bucks, then there is no way a Nintendo re-release is worth 60 bucks

@philwhite Yeah, but rushing through a game doesn't sound fun.

@Banjo- You know, the third game is a actually a prequel to DQ 1 and 2. So "The legacy begins" could just refers to Dragon quest 3 being the first game in the timeline.

It's cool that you finally get metroidvania games, lol.

@Toastmaster I think most of emulators have patreon, Nintendo was only able to sue Yuzu because the devs were using leaked games to improve the emulator(Citra was just caught in the crossfire)

@locky-mavo I think this is like the third/fourth pc port of nintendo 64 games. Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of time were ported years ago and the devs seem to be doing fine.

It'd be cool to see a Fire emblem game with real-time combat despite of it probably requiring more skills, there is barely any modern real-time tactical jrpg out there.

I'm playing mostly indie games, I'll try the demo of Angeline Era, a game made by the devs of Anodyne.

I'm also playing Rabbit and Steel, I'm intrigued by the concept of a MMO raiding-like co-op action indie roguelike.

I like to use this system:

Remaster= Twilight princess HD, Skyward Sword HD, Final Fantasy X HD, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition,

Remaster+ = Xenoblade Chroniles HD, Metroid Prime Remastered, Wind Waker HD, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Ace Attorney trilogy, Resident evil 1 HD remaster, GTA trilogy.

Remake- = Super Mario RPG, Zelda Link awaking, Demon's Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, The last of us Part 1.

Remake+ = Resident evil 2 remake, Yakuza Kiwami, Resident evil 4 remake, Persona 3 Reload.

Damn, I can't believe Nintendo not only sent him to jail and put him in debt for the rest of his life, but also gaslighted him XD

After the Mario movie, Miyamoto being involved only means they won't do anything weird with the IP, but doesn't mean that the movie will be more than just mid.

@Not_Soos Nitrorad is just not reliable when it comes to looking for how good a game really is. He basically makes reverse rant reviews, he's just too positive about games, so he makes a 7/10 game sounds like a 9/10 game.

10/10? so...THIS GAME IS ALMOST AS GOOD A SUPER MARIO BROS 2!?

SaGa Scarlet Grace number 1! Purists took the L!

@RupeeClock The thing about Dolphin distributing decryption keys is in a grey zone, it's debatable if those decryption keys alone(just a serie of numbers as far as I know) can be protected by copyright laws. So most likely neither Nintendo nor Dolphin devs are willing to take the risk of setting a precedent on court.

"...that Plays It Too Safe"

He, that part is pretty funny when you realize this was game made by a black person that paid money to have a company advicing him about to how represent black people XD I think you can't play safer than that, lmao.

SaGa gang, we won! Emerald Beyond is the highest-rated game of this week batch of reviews!

Pdt: kinda suprising this game is arriving to switch this late, I think it has been available on pc for quite a while.

I'm finally giving a shot to playing Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone again after dropping it because I realized I kinda hate tactical RPGs and being overwhelmed by the complexity of the game on top of that. Now I think I'm finally enjoying it in short bursts.

It looks like princess Peach will struggle to reach the 150k copies sold in japan, maybe it's doing better on the west.

It was kinda obvious that Silkong wasn't going to be in the direct, considering they have a gamepass day-1 deal.

Mnmnmn...I don't know how to feel about an indie game having day-1 dlcs...

Pretty boring direct for me, I wanted games with more action and maybe violence.

@Nontendo_4DS
Partner showcase = Third party games
Indie world showcase = Indie games

It's funny to see people expecting Silksong in the direct when the release date is most likely going to be announced in a Xbox event because it's a day-1 game pass title.

I personally want to see announcements of new games for this year.

Nitrorad said this one is rad, I'm giving it a shot.

@link3710 WTF? I think you got some of those numbers wrong, FF 7 remake has sold 7 millions while Monster hunter world has sold the monstrous amount of 25 millions of copies.

Rainworld is a great experience, but I wouldn't call it a metroidvania, it's more a 2D survival sandbox.

ASTILBRA revision was in my wishlist, thou I thought it was a 2D jrpg or something.

@Dr_Lugae I don't think it'll do crazy numbers in the long term sales, mostly because the switch 2 will most likely drop new year.

@WhyYouLie Nah, Switch exclusives are expected to sell 150-300k first week in japan. The other games in the top aren't doing that well either.

@JohnnyMind I'll guess people prefer to buy the expansion digitally instead of buying what I assume it's the base game + The expansion for full price.

those are some very low figures for a Nintendo exclusive...

"I love Contra: Operation Galuga so much I’m not only still replaying it but also..."

WTF? Wasn't that game trash according to this site?

Lmao, I forgot this one was announced XD
