I feel like theres something about Wonders art style that is really held back by its original resolution. The jump to 4k feels more meaningful here than on most other games which is why the $20 price tag feels so insulting.
I imagine mp4 will trend upwards for a while. I think a lot of it's negative perception is based on what people want the game to be, not what the game actually is. As time passes more metroid fans will be able to appreciate it for what it did or attempted to do. At least, I know that's often a struggle for me with new releases.
I did a little testing and I believe the input lag is due to mouse controls being set to default. Setting it to off seem to help but it still feels a bit sluggish. I think it has to switch controls to analog everytime you touch the stick when turned on. This is similar to behavior on pc when switching control methods, but we can't track when the control scheme switches over because the button prompts remain the same on Switch.
I find this pretty alarming because it implies they might have just ticked a setting allowing mouse controls without developing or testing the function with the actual hardware in mind.
Luckily I already downloaded it, I saw this coming. They should have not included any of the original code or assets, have it load the rom like Ship of Harkinian does.
If having fast travel makes it into your list of features, you may need more features. I'm surprised day and night cycle and auto saves didn't get bullet points.
I'm still really excited, and I realize this is the beginning of the game, but the only thing that really disappoints me is how boring and minimalist this level design is.
@sanderev I'm pretty sure you are trying to argue with me but I'm not going to go through all your other messages in here to get a feel for your opinions. If you are trying to say everyone who worked on this game was credited, then you are also saying you don't think programming or level design is important. Which is dumb.
Good. That was malicious and unacceptable. I can't believe people are in here arguing it's fine, if you worked on the game you should be credited for it. End of story.
Missed opportunity not having a girl mc option. I'll wait for the pc versions inevitable mod. Dialogue, character portraits and pc model are easy to change.
I'm not sure how I feel about Aunomas statement, there is clear Souls influence in botw and totk and there is nothing wrong with that. Totk basically lifted the DS curse system and it's better for having it.
I hated her voice when I first played botw but it's since grown on me. I think it didn't match up to what I wanted and expected a Zelda to sound like, but I've accepted that this Zelda, like all Zeldas, is unique.
I love FF1, one of my favorite in the series. There's something to be said about how a more primitive gaming experience makes you fill in the gaps with your imagination, and this is a perfect example for that. Barebones story and character development means your head canon is not only valid, but kind of necessary.
Dream Land 2 has special Super Gameboy support like custom borders, additional sound fx, and color pallettes that change depending on the level. It would be nice if the NSO version supported this.

Re: Surprise! Hollow Knight - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Launches Today
I appreciate the icon being updated for parity with Silksong.
I wish we knew what the other changes there are besides resolution and framerate, documentation is really vague beyond "additional effects"

Re: Video: Skyrim Still Isn't 60fps On Switch 2, But Here's How It Fares Against Switch 1
What a complete waste. These changes are meaningless to me without the fps boost. No HDR either, why? The other console versions have it.
At least the menus look nice, too bad they are tied to 30 fps

It's a good goal to have, even if it's unattainable. Mario is the pinnacle of the genre.

Re: Star Wars: KOTOR II 'Sith Lords' DLC Cancelled For Nintendo Switch
Really disappointing. It would have been a lot less disappointing if they didn't wait so long to cancel.
Good thing I didn't buy one of those games, the force unleashed. I love Sam Witwer almost as much as he hates Kenobi.
