I at least understand why this studio that will now inevitably be closed within the next decade or so because they chose to go with EA. It's not like Respawn where they would've obviously done fine on their own or Ninja Theory that spent an entire year bragging about the importance of higher budget independent games before being bought by Microsoft. In the short term, this probably seems like the best idea.
This is my "acknowledging how low the bar is" of the day.
Gameboy games are not as exciting as SNES games as actual games but at the same time, they've also not really been re-released as much. Outside of a remake or two here or there, these games were re-released at most...once, on 3DS. Even pre-VC, you'd be more likely to see remakes and ports of SNES games to GBA or even DS then any gameboy game to nearly anything else.
There's also a bunch of weird games in popular series that most people don't talk about. Even stuff like the Mario Land games don't get half the attention the Mario World games do, despite being massively successful. Or the many Kirby games, of those weird takes on classic Megaman or the weird sequels to NES games no one remembers like Kid Icarus 2 etc.
@BobbyAtomic Earthbound was one of the best selling VC games on Wii U (I wanna say top 5 maybe top 3), which also made it one of the best selling digital games on Wii U period (including every retail game people downloaded). Edit: Quick search says Earthbound is 5th most downloaded game on the Wii U, ever.
Also Earthbound is on that SNES mini classic that sold 5 million+ copies a few months in.
I want an official Mother 3 English release more than maybe any new video game, but I've accepted at this point that there's actually zero chance its happening unless it comes out again in Japan, at the very least.
I'm still stunned this even happened, just for how random it is, but I'll take it. More support for localizing Mother 3 is appreciated, and any attention the game gets too.
I do still think even if Nintendo did see enough support to justify localizing it, it won't happen while its not on Switch in Japan either anyway.
A remake of an old first party Nintendo game that's actually an anime murder mystery is one of those things that probably won't appeal to most people, but it definitely appeals to me. That's a very specific niche I'm here for.
Though it is awkward that they're releasing both separately when Capcom realized the worth of doing a double pack physical release of these long stuck in Japan murder mystery games. Hope that changes at some point.
I feel bad for niche JRPG series sometimes. It's hard to have time for just the popular games in the genre, let alone niche ones. And I look at series like this and especially Trails and realize I might just never play them ever because of limited time. Happy for the fans it has though.
Basically my only exposure to the series is finding and adoring the soundtrack to Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana.
It is too infuriating to me to even consider that my favorite story driven game of all time wouldn't be localized because of "controversial" elements, especially the rumors on what some of those specific "controversial" elements are. So I reject that theory.
I think the more reasonable theory is that the timing of Mother 3's release has not been good for localization. It has been released twice in Japan, once in 2006 on GBA and again on Wii U VC at the end of 2015. Simple reality is that by the time those versions would come out in America, both would've been the year later. 2007 GBA and 2016 Wii U are bad times to put out your game. And the rumor is that that limited time Fire Emblem localization on Switch was made for Wii U and just didn't come out for it, so that seems really consistent with my theory if true. (I don't think an official NOA translation of Mother 3 exists btw, not remotely complete at least)
I understand that they probably couldn't so easily get more popular games this sort of treatment and that Gameboy games could be very limited but even still...these two games don't look like they've aged well. One of them looks slow and the other looks like not a fighting game that should exist post-Street Fighter 2.
If they're actual Gameboy cartridges though, that's really cool.
In terms of single player games, it doesn't actually mean anything. I mean, I prefer doing things the intended way in most single player games, but if it gets to the point I'm having less fun because of some annoying part of a game, I'll stop playing fair at some point.
Like last year, I replayed DKC2 and 100% all the normal levels for the first time (haven't ever beaten the secret levels...yet). Used the NSO save states and some playthroughs online to find the more annoying coins. Someday I'll replay it AGAIN most likely and try to re-find them by memory, but until then, I just wanna experience the secrets now. Because. SImilarly I cheated for beating the Yellow Devil in Megaman 1 (not the first time either!) However, I did eventually beat Yellow Devil legit so I'm fine with that.
I realize those aren't exactly the same things but they're the first ones that came to mind. But I did cheese the bosses in DBZ Legacy of Goku when I was a kid. Because that game was awful.
SE is already a giant corporation of two gigantic JRPG companies combined. We don't need them to be exclusive to anything.
I already hate that Microsoft bought two of the biggest western RPG companies back to back, we don't need this as well. I hope its all bs, especially since SE has been seemingly doing really well, despite the stupid, bad Avengers thing. Like their new game is a huge hit DESPITE massive issues anyway.
I'm so curious on what has gone on behind the gaming scenes of Konami in recent years.
Like who decides Metal Gear Survive and Contra: Rogue Corps are good enough to release as is, but then also decides to spend money to support a dev to make a game look this good that's based on some old Japanese only game they put out in the 80s? How does that happen, who makes those decisions?
As someone who is cursed to forever be associated with this series because of my username, I should find an excuse to play the original game again. Probably next year, since we only got it 19 years ago.
Super Hexagon 99. I mean honestly its the first game that I thought of that has enough of a simple old school feel to be turned into this type of game.
I have a slightly different theory than some people. I feel Nintendo genuinely likes putting out limited time anniversary collections for the reasons they say...AND they're thrilled at the financial reasons too! People think its just the latter, which is not very Nintendo imo. This is the same thing with like how mainline Pokemon has two versions. It was done for a non-money related reason, but they sure are happy for the money related reason that came with it!
also I have a feeling this anonymous dev is just saying what they think they know and not what they have confirmed for themselves in any way. Just a hunch.
While I don't think this is automatically the disaster it sounds like it could be (as someone who has worked in a warehouse with good protocols with zero cases happening the entire time (admittedly a different-ish experience)), I've never trusted Capcom as a company after Ono's hospitalization ages ago, and I certainly am not trusting them here.
Also this didn't work since tons of Capcom things were leaked a little while ago anyway!
I almost never buy games I already own in any form, and I think more people should do that. Experiencing new things is good and experiencing the same things forever is bad.
Nintendo's usually at its best when its able to maintain old and new. Its ports and remakes are the right games at the right times for the right audience, its new games work within its franchises while genuinely innovating (not remaking Star Fox 64 again except with a new control scheme), and there's new IPs between all those releases.
I'd kill for a proper Little King's Story sequel. In theory that will never happen since no one bought the original game, but they already made another game for Vita and they ported it to PC so...who knows?
My number one issue with NSO from Day 1 is that Nintendo was clearly failing to upgrade their actual online to justify adding a cost to it. People didn't buy NSO for the free games, they just wanted to play their Nintendo games online. I'll still argue forever that they could just sell the games as a 20 dollar a year service and keep the online gaming paywall out of the whole thing. As long as they keep adding games, its not a bad service on its own, and I'd still pay for it.
Regardless, thank god they're upgrading things. Even free, but especially paid, there was no excuse for some of these online issues.
A few of these are all time greats, but most of them are not as great as the series' reputation tbh.
Regardless, the two best 2d platformers as part of the Mario series in some way came out in 1995, Yoshi's Island and DKC2. And in terms of non 2d platformers starring Mario, I'd put at least 8 games above these.
The problem with this comment section is that y'all unintentionally imply other awards are worthwhile tbh. These mostly pointless awards are just more LGBT focused than say, the other mostly pointless game awards from December. They're all meaningless and a waste of your time at the end of the day.
I mean looks at avatar yet I don't care about this at all. But I'm also not butthurt lol.
Kirby's Adventure, but like all versions of it. The original is one of the first games I ever beat (either it or Ducktales was first I'm pretty sure), but the 3D version fixes the lag to be the best version of it, but Nightmare in Dreamland is the best version of it despite some things I personally don't like about it. So combined, best Kirby game lol.
@locky-mavo And people don't remember that previous name for a reason. It'd be like if Rare nowadays renamed themselves back to Ultimate Play the Game.
I can't be alone in thinking this is a terrible name. "Lucasfilm Games"? Lucasarts was fine, Lucasgames would also be fine. Why do you need Lucasfilm as part of the name for making things that are literally not films? This would be like if the MCU was called the MCCU the Marvel Comic Cinematic Universe.
I'd argue the fact that Samus Returns is a vastly better video game more than counteracts the fact that it kinda misses the point of the admittedly interesting atmosphere of the original game. Unfortunately all that atmosphere still requires you playing Metroid 2 over playing any 2d Metroid made after it.
I do still hope that rumored 2D Metroid is coming soon. Samus Returns was really good for what it was, but it felt limited by all the obligatory Metroid 2 stuff (and some other obligatory Metroid nostalgia). It'd be cool to see them giving the chance to make their own Metroid.
I dunno if that will happen, but it just feels like everyone involved would like that. Nintendo would like a 2d Metroid without having to make one themselves (if for no other reason than to keep the brand out there with Prime 4 taking forever), and Mercurysteam wants another well reviewed game. It would make sense.
It's amusing people can't comprehend that a game can look better when playing it than just looking at screenshots. Did y'all miss the entire 3DS era? Literally every 3DS game I swear looked SO much worse in screenshots than playing it. This happened every single time. And the game does look way way better in the gameplay footage I've seen than these screenshots, by far, so I already believe this.
Though it also helps I almost never played the previous Doom in handheld mode admittedly. Just be a normal person and decide if you want to play a video game on X system or Y system.
I love 2D Zelda more often than not. However, I do still prefer 3D Zelda. Both because I just find it more entertaining personally(on average anyway, I definitely like my favorite 2D Zelda more than my least favorite 3D Zelda), but also 3D Zelda is where all the boldest, newest, and most compelling ideas often come from. The only 2D Zeldas to feel THAT different are the DS and multiplayer ones, which aren't as good as LA/Oracle games/Minish Cap/ALBW.
Oh and also, 2D has largely been handheld since OOT, and I prefer console gaming.
As someone who adored Muramasa, Sakuna looks like the latest cool game that reminds me of it. Which makes me mad at myself for having never played any of the other games that remind me of Muramasa. I hope I don't make that mistake this time, and get this one...relatively soon?
What a fantastic top 5. My favorite game is Metroid Prime 1 so even though I've never played the Wii version, I love how even just being part of that collection, its still at number 1. Good job everyone!
This is the only old school style survival horror game I've ever been able to get into (mostly because being 2d took away a lot of the worst aspects of the genre), so I'm pretty happy to see a return.
For the previous ones, I tried to rate all the games I had an opinion on, but there's too many Wii games to bother with that. So instead I'm just giving my top 10 or so favorite games a 10, and moving.
