Why can't those games have better art? It's not like there aren't any good pixel artists out there.

The world is such an insufferable place.

They've been a videogame company for the past 50 years.

This comes after good sales of the previous title, and releasing as DLC would kill the profits. There's no world where 6 years of development makes sense for such a barebones sequel.

@Kaspari_Villalobos You mean the same fictional videogames that should hit the news whenever a school shooting happens, and make parents assume gaming is all about guns & violence? Sure, they're all harmless.

We've got enough Neo-nazi scum in the world, no need to have buzzwords like "Hitler's Legacy" in our social media newsfeed. This bulls**t should have been banned before the campaign ended, regardless of the game's plot being the opposite of what we expect. If you don't get the point here, I feel sorry for ya.

Not gonna lie... it ran dry pretty fast. Pretty barebones "survival" mode and new characters that don't feel different from the rest of the roster. Half of the gem unlocks are just... skins? Really?

@theModestMouse 'Murica and their obsession to invade and kill everyone with machine guns, even in a fictional Nazi castle. 'Cause Hitler bad, freedom good.

Not sure if that name/person should ever be referenced in any product label, even with good intentions. It's just plain disgusting.

It's a polite way to say "we kicked you out of the movie and now we're kicking you out of the games, but you can tell people you voiced Mario for the past 30 years".

This basically confirms the Switch 2 is going to be a software and not a real console. That explains why Nintendo has been closing down emulators lately, they're making the world's first emulator of a console that was never released!

@Goat_FromBOTW Censorship for such subjects remain as strong as it ever was. For some reason guns and other military themes are okay in the west if you look at mainstream titles aimed for the same audience, not only Fortnite.

I just find it funny how often gun culture is seen as "cool" while people lose their minds if a bottle of alcohol is pictured in any piece of media.

You can't mention alcohol but that's okay to have real life guns in Fortnite.

'Murica at its finest.

What's more likely to happen? Nintendo releasing a bad Mario or Sonic Team making a good Sonic game?

That answers the question.

A worthy spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger. That's how you do it.

Now watch it break in a couple minutes.

Once again, more Digital Deluxe editions to scam the hell out of anyone who jumps into the basic edition first.

Hopefully those will be sold separately.

No patch will fix the awful Ultrahand controls or breakable weapons.

Wonder won't have his voice, yet you guys insisted it was him.

Please don't be the same as the first Shantae (GBC) port on Switch. It was poorly done, butchered graphics, glitches, saving issues etc.

What else were you expecting, really?

Why can't these games look better? Not saying graphics are everything, but man, those are some extremely low effort material.

All my 8itdos broke or got defective parts after a while. Unless they're seriously improving QC this time, I'll wait for reviews.

It would be nice to see the picture without having to open Twitter.

Hopefully he will complete the game's third act this time. Owlboy was criminally unfinished.

Glad the digital version released before LRG took the rights. Screw this company.

The main character design is awful. Hopefully it has some fine-tuned gameplay/performance, Sonic Mania was a great game.

I got their SNES remakes (Wild Guns, Ninja Saviors, Pocky & Rocky) and they're all perfection. Day one purchase here.

Don't start with Ages. Although it's regarded as the "best" out of the two, its main gimmick is underutilized and may leave you bored if you jump in expecting time travels like Chrono Trigger.

The 1940s art style could've made this game a must-buy.

Just imagine how much better this game would look with the 1940s art style...

@Kilroy It's a franchise well known for its inventive level design and puzzles, and now both of those highs have been reduced to a wide space filled with repetitive content (also applies to quests) and gimmicks that allow you to build and climb a structure. There are fewer unique enemies than ever, but the map is almost twice as big, filled with caves, shrines and lost koroks. What's the point of making everything so large then?

In regard of soulslike games, Elden Ring has lots of copy-pasted content as well if you deviate to explore, but the main path is rock solid. 80 hours rock solid. TotK is, for the most part, a worse, bloated version of BotW, sometimes too familiar for its own good.

@Kilroy I had some rough moments when playing BotW's Hard Mode, some places felt way above my current armor/health setup, but nothing compares to the displaced nature of TotK's combat, enemy placement, scaling etc etc, which frequently forces you through Ultrahand or Fuse abilities to progress. The problem? They're pretty bad gimmicks, involving poor camera control, constant inventory/resources management that lack proper refinement. Durability was a mistake from the start and now it requires extra steps to achieve the same results against (even worse) damage sponge enemies. Lots of important stuff (even shops!) are now locked behind fetch quests.

Sometimes I wish this game was about the actual game and not the glitches or weird stuff. In BotW some of these felt completely accidental and outstanding discoveries (considering the game's limitations), but TotK just feels... aimless? It's almost like the devs didn't want you to play through the campaign given how poorly balanced and displaced everything is.

@Vriess Same here, I grew up with those games. I still own a copy of Orta and its Panzer Dragoon (Saturn original) port, and I gotta say nothing beats a proper HD remaster. The remake has some neat bells 'n whistles but it's not very faithful, both gameplay-wise and visually, so again, for me it was a pointless effort since it took so damn long to have a playable, bug-free product that remains inferior to the original. This "release now, fix later" approach is unacceptable.

@Vriess It took them about a year to fix the game, and it's only worth it at a ~50% discount all things considered. What's the point?

Here comes another poorly optimized remake that should take months of patches to function properly. What a waste.

DS > SNES > Pixel Remaster

I miss Breath of the Wild, even though it had its share of flaws. This one just sucks in comparison to any other 3D Zelda.

Hopefully this one will help to wash the bad taste Tears of the Kingdom left. Please be good.

We're coming to a point where "pixelated visuals" and "pixel art" are becoming two entirely different things. This one is the former. There's a huge leap between serviceable visuals (as an excuse to not being able to draw/hire artists) and actual effort put into making good pixel art.

The ideal amount of sleep harshly varies by age. It's always between 6 to 8h, but the older you get, the less sleep you need.

Hopefully it's better than their previous games.

I thank emulator devs everyday for their priceless contributions to software preservation. Those companies simply don't care.

"I'd really prefer if you'd be quiet"

Hopefully they don't hire the same guy who made the GBC port a few years ago. The final product was poor, full of bugs on Switch version, lazy placement of LRG logo with a tiny font (where previously we had the Capcom logo), butchered title screen, bad UI etc.

Low effort DLC once again. No surprise.

Pretty boring game, like 99% of Sonic spin-offs. It had potential but sadly they couldn't find a good company to make the partnership. Atlus should've been the perfect match.

Patching the only thing that makes this padding fest of a game bearable. Good job.

Can't wait for this game, it's probably going to wash the bad taste Tears of the Kingom left.

You know what makes a bad sidequest? Locking shops, mandatory areas, stamina & wallet expansions or even fast travel behind it.

TotK has the best examples on how you should never place them.
