@Dr_Corndog yea I love the lore quotes on every one. Shame they don't have the rights to the Silmarillion to combat amazon's nonsense. I'll have to check out those GC games.
Lifelong gigantic Tolkien nerd, I haven't played any I found appealing ha my recommendation for an amazing co-op time is the fantasy flight living card game. Which is online now too I think. (still bummed they left us hanging with the Scouring of the Shire scenario)
I love how many people are eager to be nintendo legal team interns. The guy is explicitly discussing this with press, I think we all know Nintendo would've put a stop to this if it was in violation of any contract.
yes we pretty much know the hardware, what's way more important here is that nintendo has a plan to wow us with how much effort went into enhancing every part of the online experience
@BoilerBroJoe yes it's not all black and white. Maybe if China were actively working with Canadian and Mexican military to "watch" the US we could equate them. I don't think it's complicated but hey let's talk about games
@MSaturn yep that's the one, Bug Princess translated. Great game, difficulty selection for anyone and only 3 buttons, no hyper or special to worry about. Mars matrix I've never played but I've seen lots of praise for it. Really just a couple key points to getting better at shmups. This is a nice guide https://youtu.be/T5EKrsdYI-Q?feature=shared
@MSaturn mushihimesama is great for beginners of you got it before it was delisted. Blue Revolver just got a huge update on steam, great beginner one. Just not this game haha sdoj is cruel.
Wondering if there's a harder final boss in gaming. One person in the world can beat this. And not artificial challenge difficulty, this is as the devs intended.
No one beat the full final boss in this game, ever, until this year. 12 years of dedication by superplayer Sairyou. It's incredible, watch starting at 28:19 https://www.youtube.com/live/OUv0y_5O-yw?feature=shared Brutal game, even for Cave. Can't wait.
@Gs69 yea Final Vendetta needs to be on here. Also agree on horizon chase turbo, nice to race n relax but not much depth. Looking forward to Victory Heat Rally.
It's funny how worked up people get when it's clearly an afterthought for Nintendo, seems like they're confused at why people care and sort of threw us a bone with the "official" timeline.
@Friendly you got me! I think it was 2nd try, though it's been 26 years. Irrelevant. Pretty sure I died on the castle escape somehow, so we need a "Hero tripped and Fell down the Stairs" branch of the timeline.
thank god, when the seeds of humanity are scattered among the stars and earth has been swallowed by the sun along with the original DK figures, all will be well.
I know it's like a mortal sin to admit but I've never finished World. Looking for branching paths is not my idea of 2D Mario fun. Duck behind the white block, that's as complicated as I want it.
@Yoshi3 I do miss the days of heading into ganons castle with nothing but a fairy in a bottle as a safety net. Or one potion like NES Zelda. The risk/reward of how low should I let my hearts get before I use it, that has vanished.
Haven't played yet, kids are loving it. "It is more linear, but..." Funny that we have to defend having a good time in a linear game now. Give me more action less wandering any day.
@-wc- Right? Games used to be tweaked until they ran right on whatever hardware they were for. How many games had arcade, NES, and Gameboy versions, all different? Even SNES vs Genesis, tweaked for the hardware. What happened? Looking at comments (and reviews) I'd say lowered expectations are letting developers get away with it. Hey maybe it'll get a patch, maybe not.
I do hope this gets improved with a patch, my kids would love it. But paying for an incomplete product is bad for all of us.
@NeonMullet You can buy NA localised m2shotriggers ports of ketsui and dangun feveron...on ps4. They must have decided the sales didn't justify the cost, they haven't localised any since as far as I know. Not Nintendo's fault. DDP DOJ is definitely worth the inconvenience of creating a JPN account.
Really looking forward to this. My kids currently go to sleep with the Celeste cassettes playing every night haha. Please give us full-time shmuppers an extreme difficulty setting!

Re: Tencent Labeled A "Chinese Military Company" By US Government
seems an intentional misunderstanding for the crime of being a successful company in a country closed to US imperialism

Re: New Patent Seemingly Confirms Nvidia 4K AI Upscaling For Switch 2
@premko1
1 frame extra through docked mode. By itself not much but it's the difference between a game feeling pretty good and feeling great.
Unless you mean what lag from upscaling, in which case, I don't know, that's my question.
Re: New Patent Seemingly Confirms Nvidia 4K AI Upscaling For Switch 2
@swoose same, the switch already adds lag through the dock, wonder if anyone can confirm that AI upscaling truly happens in "real time"
Re: Review: DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou (Switch) - Cave's Vicious Shooter Is Close To The Series' Best
@Quarth
Great list, just can't leave off Eschatos! Which also includes Judgement Silversword. Essential shmups.
And Espgaluda II but it was delisted.
Re: Review: DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou (Switch) - Cave's Vicious Shooter Is Close To The Series' Best

Re: Sega President Talks Reviving Video Game "Rock & Roll" To Contrast Nintendo's "Pop Music"
I can see calling something like Mario Wonder pop music-like. They're talking a lot, guess we'll find out when some of these revivals come out.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Donkey Kong Country Returns HD's Opening Cutscene
@waveboy yea play tropical freeze it's fantastic.
Punch-Out would be near the top of my requests for sure. I loved the Wii sequel, didn't pay much attention to scoring though.
Nintendo needs to emulate Sega and revitalize these rotting franchises. I want a game company not a multimedia company.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Donkey Kong Country Returns HD's Opening Cutscene
@waveboy I'm all for options. If Nintendo weren't ignoring most of their IP it wouldn't be an issue. Glad you'll enjoy it!

@VoidofLight hadn't heard that one, pretty cool. Still, weird to be dragged back to the loser timeline in future games.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Has Been Added To The Official Timeline
I can't stand the concept of a "hero was defeated" timeline. I killed ganon don't tell me I didn't.
