That's totally fair, and maybe "harsh" was the wrong word choice, but what I meant was I played the DS remake last year and it was far better than an "average" game to me. That's why I asked if the mechanics had been changed because that game was an easy 7/10 for me and as far as I was aware this one is exactly the same but with a nicer coat of paint.

Oof, this score feels harsh to me. I played the DS version last year and I found it mostly tough but fair and overall a really strong game. Did they change the mechanics at all for the remake?

I'm gonna pick this one up to show support for (hopefully) more FM games in the future. I can't wait for the remakes of 2 & 3!

One of my favorite PlayStation games, ever. I consider it an unfinished masterpiece. So excited to finally play the Fuse campaign after all these years! This is a day one purchase for me.

I hope it gets a physical release. I sold my boxed copies of FFL and FFL2 earlier this year and I’m starting to regret it!

I hate this film. Really makes me sick to watch. Interesting turn of events, though. Strange to make a sequel 40 years later in a different medium, but I suppose these are strange times we’re living in!

I love the SaGa series, even though a lot of them are pretty weird/hard to love. For my money the series peaked with Final Fantasy Legends II/SaGa II on the Game Boy and SaGa Frontier on the PSX. I find them endlessly fascinating and replayable. I feel like SaGa Frontier’s critical reception was a victim of the immense popularity of FFVII, but to me it’s a flawed masterpiece and one of the hidden gems on the PlayStation.

So... Shiny Shinies?

I was on the fence about picking this up at launch but that trailer just sold me. Gonna put in a pre-order on my way home from work today! Think I’m gonna go with Sword.

While the US box art is pretty iconic, it’s always struck me as a pretty boring piece of art. The Japanese cover is absolutely charming.

Looks good! Will be my first foray into the series and seems like a great place to start!

@Coochie_Kong Thank you! I thought I was going crazy for a second. Mario 64 is a classic but it’s camera is absolutely headache-inducing at times.

Don’t get me wrong; I love the shorts. But where’s Sonic Mania 2?

I am playing the translated Super Famicom ROM of this right now on my SNES Classic. My first time through. It’s... okay. I like the introduction of actual party members in addition to the Hero. The soundtrack is super repetitive, though. That battle theme is just obnoxious. Assuming this isn’t Koichi Sugiyama’s best work. Just about to head to the Underwater Volcano section. I get that it’s an NES RPG from the 80’s but I wish the game was a little clearer on where I’m supposed to go next.

At any rate, a damn sight better than Final Fantasy II for NES. I’m guessing it’ll be a solid 6/10 for me when all is said and done. Can’t say I’m not excited to finish it and get on with DQIII, though.

I thought this game was awesome and I loved the narrative hook. I’d get it on sale, or if the price was right.

I played through Sayonara Wild Hearts earlier today and I absolutely loved it. Magical experience and once I started playing I couldn’t put it down. I can’t speak for everyone’s wallet but this was 100% worth the eShop asking price for my money. Currently working on getting gold ranks on every level, excited to try the “album mode” and whatever all gold ranks unlocks (no spoilers, please!)

@Doofenshmirtz Cheers! I am enjoying them quite a bit and recommend it if you haven’t played them before

Really cool piece of kit, but a little too expensive for my tastes.

@Doofenshmirtz hacked SNES Classic with translated Dragon Quest I & II rom for Super Famicom

I hate the art style, it just looks so jarring, like something out of a cheap RPG maker/flash game. I’m playing the Super Famicom versions of I&II on my SNES Classic right now and they just look so much better to me, even with the teensy character sprites.

I’m pretty excited about this one, honestly. I love the Undertale soundtrack enough that this is probably worth a pickup based on that alone. I’ll wait and see what the price is but I’ll definitely get it at some point.

I preordered a Switch Lite for my partner (along with Link’s Awakening for myself) at GameStop, and I am super excited to get it tomorrow! We mostly play games together in bed, and they’ve been using my old gaming laptop. I know they’re gonna love playing Skyrim and Minecraft on a shiny new toy 😃

For myself, I’m happy with my OG model. I’ve dropped a decent chunk of change on a second set of Joycon, a Pro controller, and I do enjoy playing on the TV from time to time. Can’t say I’m not a little jealous, though! I thinking I’ll definitely want to upgrade (downgrade?) at some point. 99% of my play is in portable mode anyway.

I love Klonoa and I’d love a new game! I hope this doesn’t fizzle out.

Man, I was excited until I watched a video of the gameplay. Looks like a cheap flash game. It’ll be a pass for me. I don’t know why SquareEnix is so intent on messing with their classic SNES games, they end up looking so much worse.

Imagine saying “here we go again with the social justice” unironically

I turned on SMW to briefly give the service a go, but I haven’t really dived into anything yet. As soon as I finish Owlboy, it’s either Yoshi’s Island, Link to the Past or Breath of Fire. Haven’t quite decided yet.

Ain’t this the one nobody liked?

I would love it if they took the engine they built for Star Allies and use it to make something on the level of Super Star or Robobot! The gameplay itself was solid, it just needed more... stuff.

I think FFVIII gets a bad rep. It is probably my least favorite of the PSX titles but I don’t think the main plot is any more “insane” than FFVII’s. I think it’s got a lot going for it, including the best final dungeon in the series. I’m excited to play it again on my Switch!

Mario + Rabbids is my favorite Switch game so far. I might finally get the DK Adventure for that price!

Highly recommended pickup if you haven’t played it yet!

Kirby’s Dream Land is only 15 minutes long and still a classic. $5.99 for 45 minutes doesn’t sound like a bad deal to me if the game is fun, which it sounds like it is. KDL cost $30 at retail and $3.99 on the eShop so it still sounds like this offers a better bang for your buck...

@Alucard83 Calm down, man. It’s just a game. This review clearly stated that they’re both classics and that the issue was with the quality of the ports, and that additional bugs had been introduced into them. Not that the games themselves are bad. I was really looking forward to picking this one up but I’m gonna wait for a sale or a patch... I’m glad this review addressed the new problems that this port introduced. I’ll stick to my PSX copy for now.

I like Puyo Puyo and I’ll pick this one up eventually. I’ve grabbed all of the other Switch SEGA AGES releases on day one, because it’s important to me to support them financially to show that the effort they put into these titles is worth it. This will likely be the first one I’ll wait for a sale price on, though.

@BulbasaurusRex He only says “Bare Knuckle” in Streets of Rage III, which was a change made during localization. In Streets of Rage 2 and Bare Knuckle III, he says “Grand Upper,” which is the name of the move.

@wolvesboy Not by a long shot! It’s cheesy as hell but I absolutely love the Sonic R soundtrack. One of my all-time faves. I love the game too, bizarre control and all. Back before I sold my Saturn, it’s one I would dust off every couple years to do a 100% run of, absolutely loved unlocking the characters and courses.

Streets of Rage 2 is, in my humble opinion, the best beat-em-up of all time. I like the first game’s soundtrack better, but both titles (along with the Revenge of Shinobi’s OST) represent Koshiro at his absolute peak.

I’m not sold on SoR4 yet, I am really not a fan of Lizard Cube’s “house style,” but I am cautiously optimistic and trying to keep open minded.

@Friendly I intend to get it just as soon as I clear some more of my backlog!

Sounds... fine, but bring on Mario + Rabbids 2, please! I haven’t played the Donkey Kong DLC yet, but the base game is my favorite Switch game so far.

I was not a fan of any of the western Sonic cartoons growing up. To me the best Sonic animations were the shorts that came out in conjunction with Sonic Mania. Now those I would watch!

@LunarFlame17 I just registered an account to say exactly this. The rewind feature is admittedly nice, but they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel now.
