@Sonicka it’s ok to interact but the genius of mk8 first dlc was they were deaigned in a way isabelle en link felt at home in the game. Although i loced tranformed in the wiiu. The mix of afterburner dr robotnik and aiai always felt a bit weird
(Bring playing a lot of afterburner climax on the xbox 360 recently btw. A switch port of that wouls be lovely)
Played the online twst on pa5 which was nice but disloked rhe switch 1 demo. Will wait for a sale probably and at least the switch 2 release, since kart racers are nice to have portable
Sponge bob might prevent me from buying it. Problem with earlier casts of sonic racing wasn’t thet it wasn’t big enough butthat it felt unbalanced it how it looked. Aiai v Robotnik.
Still you’re statement about 90s arcade music will woo me.
Not that i didn’t have fun with mkw .. the open world-light gives you the behind the scenes look of the track i love. And with all the updates the online seems inproved too. It will get a classic mode in the end @pj. Don’t despair
@whitespy12 Maybe we should make a family tree of golf games... (looking like it I living on a golf course).. all those interconnections on both platforms..
Bit dissapointed in the scope of the video. (And amzused by their initial error). I expected df to compare to the emulated and upscaled ones with hd texture. and the nvidia shield versions.
For me the conclusion remins a bit the same. 3d allstars is allright for galaxy one. Have g2 on wiiu so can wait until a bit of discount.
He surely had some nice weird ideas, and thanks for trying to keep streetpass alive... in the same time i hacked my 3ds and atthe time of the vid surely streetpass park was my most played app.. and the mario paint was gloriously atilly..
When with all three he was slightly lessa fast the ales and felix, but he was more about making his own little love letters
@Suketoudara sort of relatable, but also in a way that she could be just my direct collegue... so what it says about her leadership I don't know
As we don't really know what a NOA president really does.. are they just translating orders from kyoto or do they have their own policy.. I mean NOA made Wiisport a packin game in 2006, but apparantly noa 2025 was capable of doing that this year
@rvcolem1 well it is more like really exploring I guess, but I have done that enough... this is really nice, with also showing some which you haven't completed but did see, and giving you times to beat, making the old ones interesting again..
still didn't see more lapraces in my short try this morning... still weird it said vs an wireless and not online play in the patch notes
oh nice, was kind of waiting for both this and cfcollection to be discounted... hopefully in a european sale soon... i guess should transfer my american account to my switch 2
I voted the japanese version since it seems to be more about the game...
suddenly not sure which version i actually own, think the japanese version, but not really sure why... will check and play tonight...
although it was a simple game, got quite a bit of mileage out of it, since it really felt at ease with the ds... doth the stylus and the double screen..... If the DS had download capabilities like the dsi later it might have been more logical on that, but this was just nice and simple
Look. It won’t befor everyone I guess. But in a way Nintendo is bringing the VB back and preserving rhe experience. I’m quite gapp with that. Most of us are locked ti the nao+ anyway…. But I agree that if you buy such a single use item, it would have been nice to give you the games as well, since otherwise it is just a paperweight in the future. But it fits in with Nintendo focussing on the value proposition of the nso sub. Although. They should the have give ua dk’s dlc for free. That part haa barely been expanded since 2022.
Good balanced review. I bought it and loved it because of the 16bit charm. But you make thepoint well how it scores in current switch world wonder if i should transfer it to my s1 because of the hori splitpad.
Still gope tk get the rom to play on Crt though. Hope will start selling it.
@Teksette the emulation itself is certainly on pair, I bought that Bartop because I always dreamt of a neo geo arcade, and this I can fit on my standing desk, for that proper arcade feel.. One thing that is missing (on the neo geo cart at least) is dipswitch access, which the Hamster ones might have.. I even bought some metal slug stickers to decorate it with
@BrazillianCara the fire emblem dlc has been on sale quite often (i guess knowing that i wonder why i didn’t wait. Probably as it timed exactly right for me. I was sort of running out of things to do in the base game but still had fun)
Will wait for a smgalaxy 2 sale ... have that on my WiiU when they released that as the first Wii game you can play from the wiiU men... only 10 euros then. ... wonder if smg1 will be ugraded
Love the Rosalina amiibo,... do have a price yet?
@RenanKJ haven't tried it yet on S2, but usually the gyro controls work better with it )see house of the dearth)
@ROBLOGNICK and good for yo! my point wasn't that it wasn't worth that price, but that an absolute price point for dlc is not like science... I paid 8 pounds for some graphical changes (witch theme a.o.) ,in simcity in the 90s...
TotK could have been released as a dlc, but I can imagine that would feel weird as well for such a big product, and 50 euros dlc instead of 70 'full game' might have sounded less attractive..
This dlc? we have a nice island, which for oldtimers has a value (personally I didn't like the dlc country games that much, but was still an amiga player then) , and we have a new rogue like game...
Would have liked to included for free, sure? but since it is a separate game z(using elements) a paid dlc for people who can't get enough of dkb ( I have 100 hrs in bananza now), if it was only the island for 5 euros, I would have complained maybe more, but this is' you want extra, here, you might get an exgtra life out of our game now you're still in it'. I can get it.. it's a bit like the platoon dlc from last year... island= plaza, emerald = tower...
People into Nintendo (I hate the word fan, I'm not a fan of a company), have been asking for recognizing the Virtual Boy, and were surprised that it finally was recognized by an emulator in the Nintendo Museum, thinking Nintendo would be ashamed (even though it had been WarioWare for years)
Nintendo is a Japanese company, a country were personal shame is a difficult concept. People even thought Gunpei Yokoi (the creator of the Vb, and far more) was fired because of this and even speculate about his death. But now we know better and let's try not to put human-labels on companies too much...
And since they had that emulator, it's not weird that they thought what to do with it. The virtual boy is now 30 years old, the switch 2 screen good enough for the illusion, NSO is an accepted thing. I didn't expected it all, but in hindsight it seems not that weird.
But of course It is a niche product, so standard economics to get your investment make out expensive (and the n64 controllers are 50 as well, remember).. And they made a cheap one too... (not sure if that will sell though, who is the target group)
Tying it to NSO, that feels a bit stingy, but fro the company point a view it fits in having NSO as a complete offer... And since it is so niche, the expansion pack is the place...(not saying I wouldn't have preferred just a virtual boy cart).. And even I hate to admit it, as a nintendo player, I probably will be subscriber for ever, and then know it, and they make the transaction costs of leaving even higher like this...
After experiencing them on my modded 3ds, I really wanted to have a virtual boy, but the 400 euro cost are just too high for occasional play, so I can applaud Nintendo for opening this experience for us all, even though I loathe the price 'upgrade'. nintendo puts on everything in 2025... (although don't forget they didn't make the tariffs... 70 euros v 100 dollars..).. And Nintendo surprises us guys, what was the last time that happened..
@SalvorHardin have you ever tried VB in 3d? the experience is completely different and rather unique... completely was blown away when playing them on red viper..
@ROBLOGNICK although I sort of agree (and although I bought it as well just for the retro feeling... just like I bought that virtual boy thing, I'm poor on things I didn't thought I needed again), but hownwould you define a 20 one,,,, (for me tears of the kingdom would be a dlc for botw I guess, 27 ish?)
@Uncle_Franklin without the 3d they feel like monochrome snes games… i emulated them in the miyoo before, but since red viper i get those games….and that expensive thing will make it feel more real… (luckily in europe it is cheaper than us..)
It is superflouus in away… but I still habe a 3ds to play my ds collection.. even repaired it this march… so this gives me an actual new experience in nso…
