A bit disgusted by most western games, but at this price, it's hard to let it pass. The only thing holding me back is the storage space.

Currently playing through Nocturne and loving it. I might pick up V at some point.

@Lethal_Equo You don't need to, just switch regions.

@Kayvoo That white sure is angry.

It's "permanently" unlocked through unofficial methods, so no worries, you'll still be able to install eshop-only games as soon as the support ends (and the store is shut down).

Their last attempt to re-release Chrono Trigger on mobile/Steam was a complete disaster.

The Game Awards is more like a 2-hour long advertisement these days. Outside the main "award" and a few musical performances, there isn't much reason to stick to the whole thing waiting for fresh announcements (unlike your usual E3 presentation). There's too much noise and irrelevant stuff dragging the viewer's attention, which makes it harder to set the right mood for something special. A Direct is the right place for Switch-related news.

I owned this game on Wii U, back when you could purchase Virtual Console titles.

So, is Amy trapped inside a giant evil being that was sealed 100 years ago? Hmm...

Are there Koroks in it?

No sign of Persona 4 Golden anywhere, and that's a much less demanding game. What's wrong with them?

It's quite decent, given GBG's limitations.

Four Swords and Triforce Heroes are just bland entries that are far from the series' usual quality standards.

Here we go. Another bait to give themselves visibility (and a job) once the inevitable C&D lands.

The end of an era.

The fact every in-house RPG besides Final Fantasy is getting a small budget doesn't help.

It's a fantastic game. If I had to point one single flaw, I'd say the lack of a map sometimes gets in the way of exploration.

Truly doubt anything will surpass that old "The Brink of Time" album, but I'm always happy to see Chrono Trigger and Jazz coming together.

Got this one for free, played for about 5 minutes and never touched it again. It's not awful but far from being relevant. Don't bother, it's probably a strategy to get attention.

'Murica and their insecurities. Must look like a gun so real men won't be ashamed to get one.

Let's hope Aspyr never touches this game for a port. It deserves better.

How can a remaster of a 2003 game have a much worse UI?

Also... look at the textures on the floor. That's 20$ plus tip. Thank you.

@fdurocher There is a lock-on feature that enables strafing at any situation.

@saanaito Isn't the availability on a new platoform enough to cover the porting costs?

@fdurocher The original Metroid Prime controls were just fine, it never needed the free aim the Trilogy tried to force. It controls much better than several FPS from that era.

I agree with the cons. Even if both KOTOR games retain a lot of charm (and great storytelling), they have aged a lot - even for western RPG standards.

Also... what's with the $20 price tag? It costs 10 bucks elsewhere.

It's the best Metroid game to date, and that's not an overstatement. Sequence breaks are mind-blowing in Dread.

I'd be happy with 1 and 2, but I can live without 3. I simply don't feel like replaying the whole thing, that game had an awful pacing in certain areas.

@Ralizah As it should be. I'm glad there are enough Wii and Wii U ROM sources out there to keep those games alive for future generations. Wii U eShop is a step away from being permanently disabled, and our digital purchases will never carry over to any existing Nintendo device.

@Bustacap Which brings the question... what's the point of a dual release if you can fit all the content into a single card/download? It's not like they're offering two different experiences if you get 'em both. Exclusive Pokémon could've been handled through in-game choices and RNG tables these days, but yeah, $120 double packs must sell.

So, they're basically locking away the exclusive content from both versions unless you buy the exact same software twice? Pokémon Company never ceases to amaze.

@victordamazio This is why emulation and piracy are so important for softwate preservation. There is no "legal" way to play both Goldeneye 007 versions (1997 and 2010) if you don't own a physical copy. The same goes for gems like Mother 3 - only made accessible in the west through a fan translation and reproduction cartridges.

I guess we have a new record for the fastest delisting of a Switch game... besides Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

@Hinade Problem is, it affects all games, not only Sin & Punishment. And you gotta keep changing back and forth whenever you want to play. It works but it's far from being the ideal solution, on top of paying for an overpriced expansion pass.

No offense, but nobody should play it in the NSO. Control remap is a big deal in this game for modern controllers, and there is no option in the app to do so.

Get it elsewhere, it's totally worth it.

No, we can't. When you have enough money and a big enough team, neglecting better design choices is not a good thing. We want games to get better after each sequel, removing features that were clearly a step forward and oversimplifying things without a good reason won't cause anything but complaints.

Don't forget those products cost money.

Not a fan of her face at all. That's one big downside of being developed by a western studio...

I wish they could release them all as a trilogy, emulation done by M2. I'd pay full price without thinking too much..

What's the point of a physical edition if half of it isn't in the cartridge?

@SirPrimalform That would be really impratical since you need the 360º movement for aiming and the speed booster button (L stick press while tilting forward) can't be mapped to a d-pad.

Meanwhile, it's been nearly 2 years without any news on Wonderful 101 kickstarter DLC (Luka's 1st and 2nd missions). What the hell is happening with Platinum?

No, thanks. I won't spend a single dollar in this game.

A very mediocre game with an otherwise fantastic art/sprite work. That's a curious finding...

Hopefully it will get the same treatment as Gleylancer, which was one of the best shmup ports I have played on Switch.

@Moistnado That was brilliant

@Nintendo_Thumb It would be fine if those games were a) performing well and b) available for purchase separately. There's no scenario where one person would walk away and stay cool with a $50/year subscription service failing to deliver the bare minimum of what you should expect from a paid emulator (specially considering free alternatives exist). What's wrong with asking them to fix a flawed product?

@Clyde_Radcliffe It's like paying the price of a donut for the worst coffee available in town, when every other coffee shop offers a free cup (of a quality coffee) if you order a donut.

See the difference?

For a CD-i game, it looks pretty finished.

3 Deluxe is the absolute best, it made enough changes to perfect a good but flawed game.

"Serviceable" is what you call a free homebrew emulator. For $50/year, this is unacceptable.
