New versions are great. Good to have non-pixar looking models for once.

It's a great game under all aspects. Just like Requiem.

The reason to buy a Switch 2 camera

@ElRoberico It's just a business, not a form of art.

The "experience" is the selling point. The creators, directors and artists might label their games as some form of expression (and they're not wrong at all), but the industry gravitates towards the money and profitable products. You don't see companies evaluating the success of a game based on customer experience and community feedback, they're considered successful if they sell enough. That's my point.

Entertainment industry is never about the customer.

It's a puzzle game disguised as a third person shooter and that's great, very few AAA games actually require thought and complex player input these days.

Cherry on top is being able to achieve that in a debut IP...

Alongside Death Stranding, it's among the best games I've played in this generation.

I've bought two copies and waiting for the Switch 2 card to arrive so I'll have a third.

It is that good.

We just need proper versions of the first 3 games. That's all it worths caring about.

It will be poorly optimized anywhere, it seems.

It was surprisingly good, enjoyed a lot more than the first.

Maybe next time announce it in the right window?

Just don't expect it to EVER be fixed. Ninja Gaiden Master Collection and many other KT games had performance issues that just got ignored over time.

The performance is awful. Just get it elsewhere.

It is what it needs to be. The unaltered experience of playing a GBA game once more.

A real shame it has no online, though.

@FlyingDunsparce No one is called Dick anymore due to that pun.

@the_beaver Smash Bros, in fact.

I just got it on PS5, can't stand performance issues and framerate dips in this type of game.

They should have released many games in that form. Pure, unaltered versions without any intrusive borders, filters etc.

@sevex I'd rather pay $10-20 for each GBA game I want than paying for the yearly online subscription. I have no interest in multiplayer and I barely touch the rest of the Classics library.

Super Bomberman 5 is great, worth it for this entry alone.

Silksong is the better game, Hollow Knight has a better atmosphere. That's it for me.

My only reason to get this game is gone (campaign). Hopefully everyone will enjoy its multiplayer matches.

PS5 is the way to go. The game looks pretty bad on handheld mode, much worse than the XBox Series S.

There is no way those games aren't going to be game-key cards. Physical is dead on XBox already.

I'm a big fan of his work but not fond of his persona. I'd buy if it was about Platinum Games, but his ego might be big enough to not credit anyone who worked hard in those projects. That's not a book I'd like to have in my shelf.

Putting Megas in this game was a big mistake.

Just remaster the original and call it a day.

Good riddance, anyway.

Hopefully no more questionable design choices in the next entries. Sticker Star annoyed me the most back then. Federation Force, Color Splash, Prime 3, so many games with lots of potential being dragged down by his corporate persona trying to sanitize and trivialize as much as possible.

That said, I wish him the best.

@batmanbud2 I'm glad she's there. The game is now perfect gameplay-wise.

Back when the series had good writing, gameplay and some "soul" in it. GBA games were the peak.

Sol Valley is the worst offender here, the game woul'dve been much better without that empty area.

Just replace Kensuke Tanabe for once.

So glad this is a japanese game. I'll probably get it day one.

@rvcolem1 That's what I love about the series, it's very challeging if you're trying to get the best times, items etc. So much replayability layers in that. The first two games are quite hard but gets more accessible after 3 (the Wii U original was much harder than Deluxe, though).

Please add more save slots. The best Pikmin game ever made! I'd be so happy if this ends up being true.

I've said it many times: Tanabe is the problem.

@EriXz I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but human resources aren't machines. A lot of people are seeking professional help (and that ratio greatly increased over the years) because our current model is unsustainable, exhausting, stressful, . They're being replaced by cheaper AI alternatives to maximize profits for CEOs, not because "some people brought that to themselves".

Skipping work for no reason is likely the first sign of precarized conditions.

Best Switch 2 game (and one of 2025 best games), but ended up this way. F* this industry.

Fifth Charizard EX, here we go.

@Zeeba Air Riders was a nice surprise.

SEGA's take on upgrades is a nasty move to say the least, just like Square Enix's.

This game truly feels like a 2008 release.

Turning down all the chat and subtitles here as soon as my copy arrives.

Just release an AI-powered game and see what happens. Wasn't Front Mission 3 a complete disaster already?

It's very expensive for what it is and I think I'm done with System 22 games up to this point.

Remember that Death Stranding also got tons of bad reviews for being just that, not for everyone. I'm happy they're still making such games.

That will surely hurt the sales.

A shame they won't change the voice actors.

Butthurt MS can't put a good exclusive software since who knows when.

@JumpingJackson That's already the title for Crisis Core remake, which is canonically part of FFVII:Remake universe. I don't think they would repeat it.
