Apparently saying you do not like games edited for modern audiences gets you posts deleted. I think a lot of folks share this opinion and it is relevant when considering buying a game. I’m sure this will get deleted as well. Oh well.

@Azuris Same experience here. I use SanDisk now.

I got the first snapcase release so I'll pass but I think its a great game. Would like to see some more of the older post Neo Geo KOF titles released on switch though.

Need to do this a bit later into 2025 when we’ve had a chance to play these. I’m looking forward to fantasian but I’m playing Ys X now.

I had Dragon Warrior I-IV on the NES when I was a kid. I'm who these remakes should be for. Saying that someone is not the audience for this when you have no clue who they are is short sighted. Nostalgia is what sells this series. Those NES games understood the difference between boy and girl. I won't be buying this and I hope SE loses a lot of money. Same goes for the Trails series. When you decide to edit for modern audiences you are just caving to people who hate video games.

The roguelike-lite or whatever it is features killed this for me. The graphics look great but I was expecting it to be more of a TRPG and it doesn't appear to be so. Add small text to that mix and it's a pass. I'm still bummed NIS and GUST seems to do the small text thing now too. Between the switch and steamdeck thats a lot of users that they are screwing over.

I don't love how everyone calls it a tactical RPG. I was excited to power up characters, etc but it looks like that's not the case. I hope I'm wrong. I have no interest in a hard as nails rogue like.

@mlt My son is 7 and he does 7 year old things like create 30 users on his switch or watch previews of games that may not quite be for him age-wise. Just a little more fine tuning would be nice. I do like the app. I just want a few more options for when he is playing by himself.

The parental control app is great. When you have kids and struggle with screen time it's nice having something the gracefully manages playtime with warnings and time limits. I do wish it could be used to disable a few more settings like the news feed but it does a good job.

@Bizzyb Its been on preorder for a while from nis america. It is definitely coming to Switch. I loved cold steel but can't seem to get into Daybreak. I'm also not a fan of the more edgy (adult oriented) content that was added. I think the game would have been fine without it.

Tiny text again. They need to do better for handheld. Trails is like this too and some text is nearly impossible to read.

I will not be buying due to censorship.

@bobby_steurer If they are like the SF collection they will be very hard even on easier difficulties. I would suggest using someone like Ken or Ryu thats in all of the capcom games as transitioning from one game to the next will be the easiest.

Apparently the games will also be censored.

I ordered the base version of this. If the ragnite edition had an art book like the VC 4 special edition I would have been in. I've always had good luck with LRG. I think they've gotten better with the preorders.

Capcom vs SNK 2

As far as difficulty, I'd recommend turning it down in the settings and you "should" be able to beat it. I beat it on my first play through with Terry and only died once on the last boss. I think Capcom got flack for this on their last SF port where they used the harder arcade ports. I'd probably prefer an easier setting but it is what it is which is still better than Geese Howard on the original Fatal Fury (RAGING QUIT).

I like KOF XIII better but this one is ok in my book. I try to support these as I'd like to see more come out like a Fatal Fury Anthology or Capcom vs SNK or neo geo battle coliseum

Maybe I'm the silly one but when I was a teenager I saved every penny I could bagging groceries and bought a Neo Geo and a few games. This was back in the 90s. For those of us that experienced this back then, it's a nice piece of nostalgia. The game may not be perfect but I think it's fun. I've also gotten the snapbox releases for Samurai Shodown and KOF XIII and it's just a nice addition for fans. I'd really love a Fatal Fury collection like the SS one. Maybe not the best game but good memories none-the-less.

I've always had good luck with LRGs. I've also ordered from pixnlove and they do a great job too.

I'll put it on my wish list and wait for a price drop. Also would like to see a physical release. Hopefully capcom releases the capcom vs snk games.

How about larger fonts.

For those worried, you don't have to spend hundreds of hours on these games either. There is usually skip text options, many side quests are optional, and you can adjust difficulty and battle speed so there is no need to grind. IIRC CSIV is the only one you need to do a little extra to get the better ending.

@mikegamer I believe there is a summary in Cold Steel III. You don't need to play zero or azure to follow the story. They do put some context into what's going on but it's not needed. I did CSIII, CSIV, zero, azure, reverie. My favorite was CSIV. If you are playing CSIII and you are in the dark on a few events it kind of sucks until the end where everything comes together. And it's a long wait to get there.

The game is honesty not that great and the performance issues just add to the negatives. I like physical releases but I picked up the digital version because of the hypetrain. The characters are annoying, the bosses have huge difficulty spikes over normal enemies, and dungeons are too long. With random encounters and grinding it just screams waste my time. Now seeing that a physical game is released broken as well is just sad.

I think a 6 is justified. Maybe even a 5. I played for a few hours and was disappointed. The menus are laggy, the animation when moving stutters, the characters are annoying, and for god's sake can you use a smaller font. It's unreadable in handheld mode. I also did not like the lack of direction. Go find some peeps. And no town names or hints are given. The map is useless. Maybe the story unfolds later but it does nothing to pull me in. I've played the original suikoden games through several times and enjoyed them. Not so with this.

I'm sometimes ok with knowing. It helps me avoid buying games that I may not like. I don't like games with 30 endings, true endings locked behind impossible bosses, learning my character is in a simulation or is fake (FFX), or sacrificial characters.

You don't need to play the first games to get started. cs3 has a summary of the previous games included that tells some of the backstory. I started with cs3, cs4, zero, azure, reverie. For those new to the series, I'd recommend the crossbell games first as you get a little background into cs3. That all being said I'd still like cs 1 and 2.

CS IV was my favorite. Nice conclusion to the series. Reverie was kind of boring. Only the new branch was interesting.

I like Escha and Logy as it had both the male a female leads. It was neat seeing both sides of the story although I think they could have made the paths a bit more tailored to each character. As for Ryza, I like aspects of all three of them. I wasn't a huge fan of the open world in 3 but it did have the most options for movement. Overall I would say the atelier games are fairly conservative for the most part. Relationships are mostly friendships, nothing is really shocking, and they just make for fun light hearted games. I'd like another Escha/Logy type game but I'm fine with the current state too.

I'm nearing the end on 3 and for the most part it's been a good ride. That being said I liked 1 and 2 better. They were much more straight forward. For 1 and 2 I could beat on my own but I've had to check the net on three a few times for harder quests. Harder as in poorly written. I only had one hang up on 2. I don't like the enemies leveling with me or always running toward me either. There are also some materials that seem like unobtanium. Overall a fun game with a few caveats.

I hope these designs are a one off and not a future trend. I greatly preferred Three houses. I gave up on engage about half way through. If I didn't like previous FE games, I probably wouldn't have gotten that far.

My copy got delayed in the mail. Go figure.

It needs a physical release. This looks to be the best part of XBC 3.

I feel like the FF games aren't even the best remasters. They did a few with higher res graphics that they canned in favor of these. Its just a little weird and the price is too high for what it is. They could have included the different reskins of the game at this price. I'd maybe pick it up at $30.

@bernardtullassa Not what I got out of it. Time loops and rewriting the past is dumb.

XC3 was amazing until the end where it bombs so hard. I just hope they do something to make up for the awful ending with the DLC. I feel like it was one of those why did I play this games when it ended.

I thought the 3ds FE games were great. I hope some of them get rereleased on Switch.

Its a slippery slope. I bet Metroid 4 is $70 and every mainline game following. You can't compare to PS because look at how cheap most PS4/5 games are compared to NS after a year or two. Games drop to like $20 on Playstation but a used copy of mario cart is nearly $50.

My wife is not really a gamer but she grew up with SNES and I play super mario u deluxe with her occasionally along with a few other games. I mostly play RPGs which are not her thing. It all works out. She's a little better at mario than me so I let her play the ghost levels.

The weapon crap was why I stopped playing it. Real weapons have better durability. If you have to do some sort of damage do it realistically like the Witcher. Otherwise it's just stupid.

I like both. I usually play digital and collect physical. Its nice to have physical as a backup for the day Nintendo shuts down the switch shop. Sadly most games these days are so buggy you need digital downloads just to make them work.

My ring cost $12 on amazon and came from somewhere in china. So far 9 years together. Not bad.

It was my mistake for not checking the rating being M when buying it. I'd prefer this content wasn't there. I let my son watch a lot of the games I play but not this one. It was still a good game but I think all of the adult content (foul language, murdering kids, etc.) was unnecessary and added nothing to the story. I think the game was so hyped up as a 16 bit continuation type RPG, that the M rating was overshadowed.

Again, not taking any sides here. The game is rated M so anyone who objects should have known what they were getting into. That being said I don't buy games like GTA or Call of Duty either. I prefer more family oriented content.

I think the leveling was a bit weird but if you did the extra quests it isn't bad. Difficulty was adjustable which made for a good balance. The puzzles start off ok but get pretty frustrating towards the end. The game has a lot of bonus content and characters and allows for quite a bit of customization. There were a few story points that felt over the top but for the most part it's been good.

There are a few bad words in the game. I feel like they were unnecessary. I'd say you could probably count all of them on one hand. I'm probably 20 mins from the end. So far it's been a pretty good experience.

Ahh another article necrobumped from NL... I finally beat the game. I did all of the sidequests before the end. Game was very good until the last chapter. Unless the future DLC brings the story back together then I think I'll pass on investing anymore time into it. Not looking for a prequel either. I'd rant more on this but I feel it's unfair to give away spoilers.

@aznable I agree. Half the games that come out on switch can only be played on a monitor or TV because the fonts are too small for handheld.

I’d buy grandia 3 again.

I was wrong. This game is horrid. 0/10. Between union level, lack of cash, and enemies several levels above me, I give up. In the trash can with this crap. Maybe I suck now but this isn't how I remember the old release. I don't have the patience for this. Moving on. Square you duped me again.

I think it looks great. Looking forward to it. I'm glad it isn't hd2d. Really don't like that style.
