Re: Suda51 Says It Would Be "Really Cool" To Reboot Or Remake Nintendo's Older IP

@russell-marlow well, it could go to a slightly updated style…I’m think like the changes in Boy and his Blob, Blaster Master, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, etc.

Or, they could switch it up more drastically while retaining the concept of the original (Metroid Prime, Kid Icarus Uprising, etc.)

I think they could easily make a game that’s more than a couple hours long-though to be honest I don’t care if it was short either, especially if the price reflected it. I’m not talking about a new Ice Climbers being a 40 hour $60 game. Maybe it’s 5 hours? Maybe it’s $5-10 download only title.

We’ve also seen them do this before…forget the name the top of my head, but it was Excitebike on WiiWare.

I also wouldn’t mind it being reminiscent of an old arcade game. Donkey Kong is just a few levels long, and then restarts. Try to get the high score. They made Yodhis Touch and Go like that.. where you just keep thinking, okay, just one more try.

I’m pretty open! I’d just like to see their return!

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Price?

It’s not cheap-but it’s fair. People are going to disagree, of course, but for $50 you are getting heck of a lot of good games to play. You don’t get to keep them, sure, but you really need to look at it as an extra with the main service being online play.

Am I happy about it? No, of course I would have liked it to have been cheaper. Is it fair? Absolutely.

Re: Teardown Suggests The Switch OLED Dock Is 4K 60fps-Ready And 'Future Proof'

I’m probably too far down for anyone to read this haha, but I think this is being done not to be compatible with a switch pro, but more likely a switch 2.

If you consider switch a home console, Nintendo tends to release new hardware between year 5 and 6. Which would be better March ‘22 and ‘23.

Momentum is still high, which could push this to the latter end of this. But if they choose a style of system that resembles the current switch, it could be a smooth transition.
Also an early ‘23 would be helpful with the rush on ps5 xsx dying down (ha-hopefully). Nintendo releasing its next hardware more in the middle of the other next gen systems may be the new normal, and a wise move. Keeping a handheld hybrid would also keep the systems power being impressive in a mid range instead of going all out.

Oh, and you can still use your oled dock.

Remember the new controller patent-we thought it was referencing the n64 genesis controllers? What if they are joycons 2.0?

You read it here first.

Re: 10 Best Wii U-To-Nintendo Switch Ports

@somnambulance I’m glad many of these were posted too. Pulmonary and MK8D…on the go? Awesome!

Though tbh, I could’ve done without NSMBWUD or 3D World…. Or rather get pets off some older games…N64, GameCube, or even Wii games would appeal more to me since I didn’t play through most of them a few years ago.

Still, I understand why they did it.
