Still no discount on Eshop.
Did NintendoLife made a false report, gettin our hopes up.

@jcboyer515 @dartmonkey
nope nothing yet, if it goes live on thursday and runs till 31st it will be a really short sale.

@Bermanator That is true they are capable but the System shock is their biggest passion project and they are also working on Shadow Man and trying to work with Blade runner so I hope they don't sprad themselves too thin.
Their engine for N64 remakes is also self made but I do feel that a lot of games should be preserved in their original state. When you have to remake a game that much it's propably easier to make a spiritual succesor

@Bermanator Turok 2 is propably the game with the biggest 'graphical upgrades' as it has motion blur, screens space reflections and god rays added to the game.

@Rypopo I really like Doom II, and Duke Nukem 3D, never been big on quake but played some Quake 2.
Modern shooters can be so tame compared the ones from back then.

@RodrigoCard Maybe in the future but they are currently working on Shadow man remaster. Which is a really good game if they manage to implement a proper working control scheme.

@ozwally I have some issues with BotW as a whole but the world isn't one of them, it feels like a proper post apocalypse Hyrule to me.

@Rpg-lover The games they made for nickelodeon licences was kinda dissapointing.

Bought Ghostbuster remade for €8,74 might take a look at that, it's a great game to play around October.

@Toy_Link I used to have one of those game and watch keychains back in the day was pretty fun stuff to waste on

I strongly dislike the portrait artsyle though.
@Apportal Yeah shorter games never overstay their welcome, long games get tedious and become a chore

@lifer you know damn well what I mean.

@Ghostchip I always saw role models as ROLE models as what they did, not how they look liked. I never looked for physical appearence in my role models.
It's more that the Idea is that if we wanna make a woman look tough and kick ass, she needs to look butch and manly in western games, this game and Abby from TLOU2.
While Japanese games let Zelda and Tifa and Claire redfield be both feminine and kickass.

@lifer But why is it that non sexified female charaters in games tend to give this 'butch lesbian' vibes in the their designs nowadays.
It's the same with every game having a gruff 30-40 something brown haired brown eyed batman voiced man looking under his eyebrow kinda deal.
It's like there is no middleground for anything anymore in western games, but the last Resident evil games have their female characters not sexualized and still look pretty and feminine.

@kenavi The fact that this runs on the switch at 60fps is a feat to behold, Unity is not the most optimized engine and this game has had a lot of changes to be able to hit that target without losing a ton of quality in the process.
that it crashes is unfortunate but the devs are capable enough to fix this unfortunate oversight.

@RandomNerds That's great advertising

NA/EU is all about the action.
JAP is all about the experience.
Different marketing strategies for different regions, I like the both but the Japanese one gets a leg up because of the cherry blossom

Postal is the only game series that Uwe Boll turned into a movie that was true to the source material.
Make of that what you will.

@MajinSoul needed, no and like Twopoint Hospital this is an entry lvl management sim that does indeed bank heavily on their visual aspect. Who doesn't want to watch dinosaurs battle.

@Kitchener The way they implemented Duke Nukem in this game is done in an interesting way for an afterthought cameo but not the reason one should buy the game, the fun lies in the arcade style combo based gameplay.
Still wish he got a proper farewell to see him off, Duke Nukem deserved better than what they turned Forever into or a cameo here and there.
I wouldn't even mind him going back to his roots with a side scrolling game ( I enjoyed the manhattan project back in the day)

If people have never played Bulletstorm, for 8 euros it's good value, entertaining little arcade shooter if you can stand the crass an vulgar vocabulary of the characters.

@Citano Played and finished this game because it was on game pass and I got a 3 month trial code with the CPU I bought and it's a wonderfull game I wonder how it runs on the switch though.

@RupeeClock I have no idea...but it looks like our little diversion got their attention.

@sketchturner I will look into it idk where to find a good battery also Comix zone rocks!

@CerberusAzdin When people complained about the 'woke' stuff people talked a bout in Borderlands 3 I was worried a bit (on the nose pandering is annoying) All I could find was 2 gay men in love presented in a way that was neither preachy nor stereotypical but by god did the characters you mention get on my nerve. but I guess atleast the two badguy are a mockery of fake social media personas you see so often on youtube and the like so I gave em that but Ada... was that SUPPOSED to be a parody of the so called golden child archetype? god she was terrible. even 2000's angsty nu-metal was not a cringe.

@RetroBox Mine isn't working great i think it's battery is dead

I still have mine and it is quite lovely

I think Super Mario 3D Land is Mario simplicity in a 3D space without the collectathon fluff, I never played Odessey, Sunshine or 3D World.
I respect Mario 64 for what it ment for 3D game design at the time and while I did enjoy what I played I could never really get into it fully.
Both Galaxy games are great and I find it hard to put one over the other.

This logo is almost the same like the Console wars youtube channel.

They should sue them!

@aznable I am not a racing guy but I enjoy my arcade racers and Virtua Racing is really fun when you get the hang of it, I really would love to see Daytona USA on the switch because I have never experienced it and I love the authentic Sega 90's aracade feel.

These are actually quite good, it's not often that game licenced shoes look well, I liked the Streetfighter Nikes as well, I like it if their styling is more subtle then plastering a giant picture of the character over the entire shoe.

@kingbk Gamecube had good 3rd party support as well. They had cross platform games like NFSU games, PoP, and a lot of Capcom games but they did lost out on FF and most MGS titles.

@BlueOcean Well the N64 and Gamecube while not flops, were not that succesfull and the WiiU was a massive flop so while their Handheld game remained strong dispite being opposed by Sony's efforts and mobile gaming, they still dominated the mainstream market in that regard.
They do have some reason to be proud, a 35 year legacy this strong always comes with some (deserved) hubris.

@Roam85 Me too and Castle crashers, but those titles were the exception among the rule

@rjejr Damn, you must be one of those fancy Pentium owners, with your 133 mhz cpu and Svga screens.

@rjejr Hexen was also released on CD-Rom format I hope you have 2x speed drive installed.

@BionicDodo For me personally the GBA version is the most colorful looking with fun scaling effects and swift gameplay, it sadly does not have the original Kunio kun licence so the characters look different but the gameplay is all there.

Their kind hates fire and ice both!

Crazy to think that sega hes yet to release Daytona USA on switch, people want this SEGA.. people want this!

@TheFrenchiestFry The first game was revolutionary using rotoscoping for character animation, the second was a decent sequel with better graphics and envoirments but the 3rd game was a mess and a flop then the Sands of time Trilogy came which was really good and succesful then they made the weird 2008 game that looked really good but had very simplistic gameplay compared the previous three and there was a movie tie-in more based on the original SoT games released in 2010.
Then 10 years of nothing, just more and more Assassin's creed games.

@roboshort Don't you mean... a fleshgame!?

Newgrounds flash games ey, Alien Homonid Invasion is coming back on the switch with a multi-player version.

@Caryslan Sonic 3 far more atmosphere then any SNES platform game? I can hear my Demoncrest and Super Metroid cartridges cry! (don't get me wrong Sonic 3 is amazing except for Hydro city... Hydro city can go!)

@carlos82 A good example of the difference in sound and graphic quality are games like Jungle book and Lion king, The colors and music and voice samples are a lot better on the SNES but it being a megadrive developed game originally the Snes game is cropped on the sides due to the SNES lower screen resolution and some ugly gameplay issues also arose.
Looking at excusive games, they both were really strong and SNES had a lot of great RPG's while MD had more arcade oriented games to offer (schmups mostly).

The youtube channel Consolewars
( https://www.youtube.com/c/ConsoleWars/videos ) compares a lot of games that were equal or the same on SNES & MD.
It's a silly channel and some might find it a bit cringe and goofy but to me that's part of the charm because it is self aware enough about it.

@Bolt_Strike His dad was in a band and looks like metal jesus, kinda so maybe he is following in his footsteps or something?

@Kalmaro Ofc they are, whenever someone creates somethin there will be upper-middleclass person throwing a fit.

@Damo I think the look aged great for CGI pre-renders, there are games like Doom Troopers that aged a lot less gracefull.
Rare put a lot of effort in working CGI graphics, the backgrounds in the arcade versions of Killer Instinct still look impressive in a 'look what they did in early 90's kinda way.
And the charm of the designs and the consistent use of them in the evocative backgrounds and expressive character sprites made for a coherent experience that kept it's charm trough the ages a lot better than the first Mortal Kombat games for example.
Also Johnny Bazookatone looks like a very generic game overall, people still mention the original Oddworld games and sometimes even Heart of Darkness which all had great pre-rendered graphics.
Pre-rendered graphics were later mostly used as backgrounds till somewhere in the early 2000's and even some later games like Pillars of Eternity.
Having watched, read and listened to a lot about the development of the game, the graphics of DKC became it's own thing for me, instead of riding a fad like Swagman, because there is so much love put into making them work where most old pre rendered CGI looks clunky cheap and lazy.

@Peteykins Same goes for Capcom really

@Scirocco7 Only 2080Ti can handle 4k at around 60fps on ultra settings in most modern games.
Saying that we are a step away from 8k in 120 fps is a bit of a stretch.
Even this generation most console games ran around 30fps and not always at a native 4k resolution.

@87th Just out of curiosity, does your statement include Wario Land 4? Because that game is damn good and set the quirky tone for the Wario Ware games.

I adore this game I got myself a 2nd hand copy of the game, finished all the worlds including the bonus ones 100% I was in halfway the last world... I load my save file and the screen goes garbled mess BAM save file corrupt and deleted.
To this day I cannot bring myself to go trough all that again but I still love a casual romp trough it's levels.
