Chrono Trigger and Mario Rpg are my favorite games of the genre. The remake of Mario Rpg was good, but it was made easier and censored some things. If they remake CT, I hope they respect the difficulty and don't censor anything.
@dudujencarelli I'm not into hardcore difficulty kaizo style, but I think Mario World had a higher difficulty than modern Mario games. Tropical Freeze was tough but fair, and Yoshi's games have zero challenge nowadays. The first Yoshi's Island was a nice challenge, but the series went more and more kiddy from there. Not bad if it's an option, but a classical 16 bit challenge would be nice. I really enjoyed Tropical Freeze, The Messenger and Prince of Persia the Lost Crown and I'd really love a Nintendo game with that challenge today.
I think Nintendo is among the best people in retaining high levels of quality through the years. The volume of their games, specially Zelda and Mario, that are truly great and polished is enormous. But I'd also like they still made games with a little higher difficulty on the main quest. I do not like having to 100 percent a game first to have some extra difficulty after that, or collecting pointless things at all. Mario Odyssey, Echoes of Wisdom, Mario Wonder... Those games would be much better with the option of a classic difficulty. Mario Galaxy seems more balanced in that way, but I doubt we'll ever get Tropical Freeze's difficulty ever again.
I love 3d platformers, but I hate collectathons, so probably not for me, even if it's better. Another thing that I don't like is the characters design, they are far uglier than anything from the Rare era. I enjoyed Impossible Lair, even if it needed more bosses and had an enormous difficulty spike at the end, but the core gameplay felt great.
Got both digital, I haven't played more than a (bad emulated) part of the first game and I'm loving it on Switch. I live in Argentina where everything is quite expensive, but I wanted these games even before they announced them.
I don't have a great tv, but resolution looked fine to me. The framerate has severe drops in selected places on Switch 1. I hope they fix that too, but I'm at the final stage of the game, so I'm probably not seeing it.
I remember playing the original one rented on Saturn and not liking it so much. The tank controls, the graphics, the art style... It was way behind Mario 64, which I already played at the time. I can understand not every game has to be a 10/10, and I believe I would appreciate it more today, but I still don't like that you can see his eyeballs from behind. That looked weird back then and still does.
30fps Is a letdown for a Sonic game. If Mario Kart, Skyward Sword and Mario Odyssey can do 60fps on Switch this game should do It too. I'd love to play it on portable mide, but ps4 seems more tempting now. I'd rather liked they traded resolution and graphical fidelity for framerate. Even Lost Worlds ran at 1080p 60fps on Wii U. This Is bad.
@Toadie Thanks, my friend! I mostly play on PS4 today, but I had Nintendo consoles as a kid and I really miss the good Mario games. In my country (Argentina) electronics are really expensive and I've been doubting between a 3ds and a Switch, but the price and the catalog of the 3ds really got me.
@Toadie Wow, that's a really nice list! I've already read about most of them, but you named some titles I need to check too, as they are new to me. Thanks a lot! π

Re: Nintendo Has Scheduled Maintenance For 3DS Later Today
@Truegamer79 I have a grip for my new 3ds xl as it's the only comfortable way to use the dpad for me. Have you tried one of these?

Re: Mini Review: Simon The Sorcerer Origins (Switch) - A Faithful Return To A Classic Adventure Series
Not a fan of the series, but the first one was good. I believe it looks better than Return to Monkey Island anyway.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Play NES Games These Days?
Switch online or hacked 3ds.
Re: Even Memes Are Getting The Metroidvania Treatment Now
Graphics look nice but gameplay doesn't. I hope they make it good and not a cash grab.

@ninfriendo_1973 Thanks for the information. But I'm glad they have an X account, so I not have to touch Bluesky with anything.

@Toadie I just bought my new 3ds XL, waiting for it to arribe. I'd really love more great Mario ports from Gamecube or N64.
