Please stop doing this Sega. They make some reference to old remakes a couple times a year. They've definitely delivered but refuse to directly acknowledge SA series despite it being the elephant in the room.
I backed the original on Kickstarter since BK is one of my favourites and I regret it to be honest. I didn't back Psychonauts 2 and I wish I had done instead. I was really disappointed by Yooka Laylee and haven't come close to finishing it. I don't really know how to feel about this remastering
Pretty funny considering their head of marketing told an audience recently that "nobody cares about Banjo Kazooie". They're still happy to milk us for 400 dollar statues and whatever else they can slap the characters on to.
Do younger generations even really know what these are? I grew up with the SA series and I love them, but apart from Cream's chao, have they been in anything else substantially?
Does anyone know if this has a camera? I thought I saw one which was how I assumed it handled the sensing of the user waking up. I wouldn't want one if it has a camera in it.
Hate to be a debby-downer but this is such a boring bonus in my opinion. Ii also don't like the way slipcovers make the games slightly larger so they don't sit evenly on the shelf with the other games
I get so wound up by this guy sometimes. He always goes on about good games like these and the Adventure series and then always reminds us that they're not going to remake them, meanwhile they remake tons of other games in the series. That comment about the chao garden the other day was equally ridiculous.
Solid choices. Love the use of the SA2 art. Would love to see a port. Also some Rare characters would be great too. And Bomberman Hero. And Snowboard Kids. And Chibi Robo.
I love the switch and for me personally I could hang on to it for a little while longer. The 4k thing and 60fps would be nice but not essential for me. The library of games has been fantastic and the form factor is still great. I'm definitely excited for the new gen but the switch is pretty great for my needs.
I really want them to just release these for sale in the west. Unfortunately I can see these just being a niche one-off thing that never leaves Japan and gets to be eye wateringly expensive amongst collectors. I can't even find these being resold on ebay.
Long shot, but I am hoping the SA2 references have some added meaning to them. I get this is probably just due to the fact Samba and SA were both on Dreamcast.
They did an awful job organising the last London one. They were supposed to limit stock per day so there would be stock the whole weekend, but the agency hired to run it sold all the exclusives halfway through the event.
The the retro Pokemon ones were the best. I'm glad they did a chibi-robo one that had the GC cast in it too. The switch UI is pretty lame overall, but it's even crazier that they didn't try at least put themes in.
I've also read that he was a mentor to Satoshi Tajiri and helped get pokemon off the ground (hence why the rival in Red and Green is named Shigeru), and he has also been a massive help to Hideo Kojima

Re: Zelda: BOTW And Animal Crossing: New Horizons Composer Yasuaki Iwata Has Left Nintendo
What a legacy. I wish him the best in the future
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Sonic X Shadow Generations
Japan's one reminds me of the SA2 logo
Re: Sonic 3 Star Keanu Reeves Has "Done His Homework" For Role As Shadow
Did he speedrun the dark story of SA2? I'm praying we get some of the classic lines like "You're not even good enough to be my fake-"
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Banjo-Tooie
Glorious way to start the weekend. Hopefully a sign of more to come

Re: Rumour: Nintendo To Lean On Third-Parties For Switch Support In 2025
Chibi-Robo, Sonic Adventure 2, and the Snowboard Kids series are my most wanted and unfortunately seem least likely.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week
@JohnnyMind I think I remember hearing something that they had to bump it up because of the blood in the Lord Woo Fak Fak boss battle actually
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week

Re: Sakurai's Penultimate YouTube Video Is All About Iwata
I didn't know Iwata had a son. I wish Iwata was still around, he was truly special.

Does anyone know if this has a camera? I thought I saw one which was how I assumed it handled the sensing of the user waking up. I wouldn't want one if it has a camera in it.

Nintendo cheated on Playstation with Philips.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Director Davide Soliani Launches New Studio, Working On Original IP
The logo looks great. It reminds me of Ghibli and Kojima Productions. Hopefully he pulls in Grant Kirkhope too.

Re: Poll: Good-Feel's Goemon-Inspired Switch Game 'Bakeru' Is Out This Week, Are You Getting It?
"Waiting for physical release" should be in the poll. I want this game but holding out.
Re: Rachael Lillis, Voice Actor For Pokémon's Misty And Jessie, Has Passed Away
RIP, thanks for the memories
Re: Poll: Are You Ready To Move On From The Switch?
I love the switch and for me personally I could hang on to it for a little while longer. The 4k thing and 60fps would be nice but not essential for me. The library of games has been fantastic and the form factor is still great. I'm definitely excited for the new gen but the switch is pretty great for my needs.
Re: Random: Nintendo's New 'Button Collection' Toys Can Be Used For Real Controller Repairs
@datamonkey I saw those but I'm from the N64/GC generation. I'm hoping we will at least get a gacha machine in the west.

Really hoping we can get these though the nintendo store in the UK sometime
Re: Ex Chibi-Robo Devs Announce Spiritual Successor 'koROBO'
Finally. Day 1 buy for me. So happy about this. Wish it was a full sequel with the old art but I'll take it.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Costs $60 On Switch
Typical of Nintendo. The price isn't close to what I'd be willing to pay
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
@NFrealinkling Good luck!
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
I'll fly the Chibi Robo remake flag since nobody else will
Re: Sonic Team On Remasters: "If There's A Title People Like, We'll Think About It"
I don't get how they're so willing to ignore the Adventure games.

Re: Gallery: Team Reptile Teases 'Bomb Rush Cyberfunk' With Brand New Screenshots
The skyscraper level looks so cool. It reminds me of SA2. I've been so hyped for this!

Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite 3DS Theme?
