In this instance surely all Nintendo is doing is helping Ebay prices go up?! Just don’t see how they gain from this and it must cost them to do it. I have really enjoyed reading old N64 and NGC mags in recent years.
wow the negativity on this thread is amazing! you all woken up on the wrong side of the bed or something? this is a great direction for Nintendo to be taking with Kirby and the game looks great!
@StarPoint i tend to agree not sure how this helps Ukraine. It’s just a game, a bit of fun for those who buy it. It’s a cartoon style too. Think most people are sensible enough to realise that.
@Lord I think they must be paying for these articles of self promotion, only explanation I have for the incessant nature of them. Genuinely never heard them mentioned on here before they said they were leaving lol
Surprised at the criticism of this, I for one would love their SNES games to get the HD2D make over, why not? Octopath is a stunning game and it would suit all of those classic SNES games perfectly.
All switch ports should go through Sabre Interactive and Nightdive studios. Shows good ports can be fine and I’m seriously sick of people moaning about the switch capabilities, it’s lazy development as well most of the time.
People like to knock The Outer Worlds but it is one of my favourite games on the switch. To me it seems to play well but what do I know I’m a 90’s gamer who still love me Banjo And OOT. I get it when a game is broken and bugs galore like the new GTA trilogy but I think some people just hate on not perfect performance even if it doesn’t really effect gameplay or enjoyment. It’s like the ‘in’ thing to do these days especially specifically at the Switch games.
First game is underrated, it's not amazing but it's enjoyable enough. Hopefully they have taken the feedback from the backlash and will make it a worthy spiritual BK successor.
Unfortunately at the time from a business perspective purple probably wasn’t the best colour to choose. People thought of it as ‘girly’ which of course is sexist BS but the world was a lot worse in that way back then, girl gamers were very rare and the market was basically only trying to appeal to young boys/men.
@Spiders you are spot on, most sites terrified to review this. Hardly any reviews in the wild for a massive game. Well done to NL for having the balls to do it.
I'm playing Vice City and not run into any issues, sure the graphics are cartoon like but that doesn't really bother me. I think part of the issue for a lot of people will be that GTA on the whole is not as amazing as people like to make out. Sure bashing cars and running over people is a good novelty for a while but the core gameplay is quite repetitive, 'Go here, kill them, come back for another similar quest.'
Think some people on here need genuine help. If you think the PS2 versions look better or it will be a better game to play on iPhone, check in to your local doctors for an evaluation.
It’s a great system with an outstanding library of games. People complain about ports but to me it’s just more games on a system I use handheld and that’s a good thing.
I know Skyward Sword will get defended to the nth degree here but it’s not a great game and it hasn’t aged particularly well either. I think most people realise that and it’s also why the series got a massive revamp in direction in Breath of the Wild. SS is not a bad game but it’s pretty average and I’m surprised it has sold so well.
@jancotianno perhaps the most dumb comment I’ve seen recently. So gameplay is a 10/10 but you can’t give it a 10? Surely that’s what matter most! You must hate the indie scene, shame as you will miss out on a lot of great games with such backward thinking.
If it's as precise as the original and someone gets it working on original hardware I will snap one of these up! Nothing feels anywhere near as good when playing N64 games, so it will be interesting to see if they do replicate it properly.
@Themagusx1 go crawl back under your rock please sir!
What a game this is, I play the mods people make and love those too. I think if you did not experience it at the time you may not 'get it' but it's a truly great 3D platformer that stayed in the memory of many gamers for nearly 25 years.
Those glory days at Rare were amazing, maybe Microsoft could allow them to do Donkey Kong Racing finally for us!
Never heard of these games but Wayforward is the king of 2d platformers so will be interested to see how it reviews. Can’t wait for their advance wars game!
the obsession with this guy by the writers on here is a little weird! what a dull story and of course idiocy to live off diet coke, no wonder he is getting ill.
@Anti-Matter I don’t mind your stance that’s fine but the last line of your comment is pathetic.
Some like myself consider games art, to just let that disappear forever would be a tragedy. Some good does come of game preservation it’s not all just saving money.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Now Available On "All Platforms", Fibs Bethesda

Re: Video: 15 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In November
can't wait to play the GTA trilogy! not played them and think having them portable will make all the difference for me.
KOTOR will be good to play too, not sure I love the combat but I'll give it a try.
SMTV will be good to play too, enjoyed SMT3 but like most JRPGs I stopped playing after about 20 hours.
