Superstar Saga is the perfect Mario RPG, and one of the best GBA games of all time.

@smithyo There is no workaround unless you map a second button to each action of the pressure sensitive PS2 inputs... which is also impossible on modern controllers due to the lack of enough buttons. For instance, you could zoom-in codec portraits and certain cutscenes by using the analog buttons. IIRC CQC and Melee actions had some degree of analog inputs to do interrogation and heavy punches, but it's all gone. Not sure if it's a Mandella effect from MGS V, though.

Dog tags are doable but quite harder now.

@smithyo I have played every MGS2 version, put over 100h in the PS2 original.

Only the Playstation version has the pressure sensitive stuff because Dualshock 2 and 3 are the only ones with such hardware capabilities.

Collecting Dog Tags is a pain without these controllers, but doable in newer versions if you check the button remap under the options menu. You can press the left stick before firing the gun with Y.

@smithyo It's phisically impossible to do that because no other console in existence had pressure-sensitive face buttons.

Hopefully the port won't be handled by the guy who made the previous GBC version on Switch. It was a hot mess of bugs that were never fixed (and didn't exist in the original) and rough edits to the game's title screen, menus etc. Please make a good port this time.

Awful. Besides the Team Ladybug game, nothing interesting enough or remotely different from the usual indies that came out in the past 2 years. Truly embarrassing "showcase".

Glad it's a japanese one.

Sense of wonder? In what? A recycled map filled to the brim with the same fetch quests?

This game is boring as hell, but was praised like the second coming of jesus because the indie scene was tiny. I miss the early 2010s so much.

Who cares? Good games sell regardless of leaks, this one won't be different from Wonder.

Super Mario Wonder was the better Nintendo game, though.

That's a world I definitely don't want to live in.

Screw GaaS.

Friendly reminder to buy these games now.

That's funny 'cause as an XBox owner I'm really considering moving to PS5.

A big f* you to customers to force us into their subscription model. That's a real shame, but also expected from Bandai Namco.

So many good memories from back when I first played SMRPG in 1999! Got it on a local rental shop, the game came with a cleared save file labeled as "Diego". Erased it, started a new file and managed to reach Forest of Illusion. It was one of the most magical moments in my early gaming life, getting lost in the trunk maze, following Geno to reach the exit, getting my ass kicked by Bownyer... then years later I finally managed to beat Smith and Culex.

One of my favorite games ever!

Nice, a Moana crossover.

Lesson learned: do not F2P if you don't know what you're into. Screw this "premium currency" bs and whatever they plan to stick in a form of microtransactions in the next game. This model needs to stay away from console gaming, and Omega Strikers was such a big waste of time and resources for that matter.

He makes it in a flash
And all the assets clash
Do his artistic skills know no boundaries?

How about releasing good games to begin with? Pretty sure that would help.

Get RE4 and you're set. One of the finest action/horror games ever.

@Violator Can't believe they finally made an Earthbound-inspired game.

No contrast, no consistent color palette, no outlines, no depth. It just looks bland and rushed.

30fps for MGS2 is truly unacceptable. MGS3... Not so much. The original game was a flawless 30fps ride with zero interference on gameplay and immersion.

What's ironic is how MGS1 ended up being the best title of the bunch, with no pointless HD makeup and no issues reproducing the original experience. I'd stick to that for now.

Get MGS1 or 3. Either choice is so damn great. MGS2, for now, is a complete mess. It performs pretty bad, with 30 to 50-60fps hiccups happening very often, just like Vita version.

@Vexx234 And that's going to be a hell of a time. Good luck with the MGS3 bosses on Extreme mode. Volgin almost made me break a controller.

Rare Replay. Crimson Skies. Original NG Black and NG2. There. Every single XBox exclusive that's worth asking for.

GBA is the definitive version. More content, adjusted graphics, two character mode, saving anytime.

No, thank you.

That's probably another Among Us - but at least it's a japanese game so presentation isn't a complete piece of sh**.

@nessisonett The Henry avatar just made this comment better.

@AndroidiOS Millions also enjoyed the first Suicide Squad or the ninth Star Wars movie.

Glad it didn't influence anything. That movie was so underwhelming.

@RobynAlecksys Whoever did it, they paid for the game and just dumped its files online. You're downloading, installing or emulating at your own discretion. No one stole a single boxed copy of that game from Walmart shelves. It's a crime based on copyright infringement, unofficial distribution of intellectual property material, piracy, you call it. Thievery is a very different thing.

Contrary to what you seem to believe, they contribute a lot to the gaming scene, with software preservation being the most obvious example. You wouldn't have a single Game Boy Advance ROM image if it weren't for those "thieves" dumping and uploading them online, most games would be certainly gone for good due to expired copyright, lost source code, extremely expensive copies etc.

You wanna fight back? Go to the store and buy a copy. You're supporting the developer anyway, so why bother? It's not like piracy EVER damaged a good product's sales - Breath of the Wild was one of the most pirated games in the history of Nintendo (and was the reason for the first Wii U emulator to become a reality), yet it sells like hot cakes to this day.

Since there isn't a public demo available on eShop, I donwloaded the leaked version and gave it a try.

It convinced me to preorder.

How about calling the Sonic Mania guy to make the next one? Pretty hard to nab this one at a $60 price tag.

Hey, didn't Mario "sound the same" to you guys? Changed your mind already?

"Acquiring" stuff won't help anyone. The industry is so ***** up with this madness that no one is worrying about delivering good products anymore. They just focus on "good enough for launch" stuff and call it a day, so investors can lick their fancy numbers.

And... Disney? No, thanks.

@Paddle1 That's exactly what you should do right now.

It took me forever to finish the Dice of Fortune and the Tower of Fate one. Great game, but don't jump in expecting a standard dungeon crawler or something you'll be able to reach the ending in a week. It's among the most brutal games I've played.

WB Games can't do a proper port for good. Remember Armored Edition and the insane framerate dips, glitches etc? I just hope they give us a decent version of the original games, not the "remastered" junk they released on PS4/XBox.

Just got a brand new V2 for another 6 years of gaming. Not going anywhere.

Simple as, I won't buy another Nintendo console if I can't keep my current digital library.

Don't waste your time, that's all I gotta say. The game has a pretty underwhelming pacing and won't deliver the story you expect - and that means literally ignoring the main scenario to focus on gibberish side quests for more than half of its length.

First one was good, but no, it's not a worthy AW successor.

Thanks, Unity. Keep up the good work.

Imagine getting dozens of great franchises either vaulted or mauled by a western team.

Truly frightening.

What a bad joke.

The sense of wonder we had while exploring BOTW's Hyrule is gone in favor of a completely messy, bloated map with copy-pasted tasks filling the gaps.

My biggest gaming disappointment of 2023, that's for sure.

Wait until they announce Jeff Dahmer for the next DLC pass.
