So much wasted potential...

Zelda never needed a timeline to begin with.

Waiting for a google drive link so I can preserve it myself. This is ridiculous.

It looks gorgeous, a real shame it's not the P4 Golden release we've been asking for years.

@Link-Hero Visual consistency for the most part. Character sprites are blurry, fonts don't fit the game's UI neither its "retro" look, certain animations aren't as smooth, pixel scaling don't match the menus and backgrounds. It's serviceable if you don't care about these details and just want a cheap nostalgia trip, but the game lost so much charm in the transition that it doesn't feel/play the same.

Difficulty and accessibility are completely different things. Having an easy mode doesn't make the game more accessible to anyone, it just makes things less demanding to master/complete. You can have extremely difficult one-button or two-button games that can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone at any age range, regardless of physical or mental limitations. Older NES games are great examples. Getting frustrated because you can't reach the credits screen has nothing to do with a game having accessibility options or not.

You're not missing much, this version is vastly inferior to the SNES original.

He missed the whole point of how EMMIs fit in Dread's gameplay

So, they're essentially delaying the digital version on purpose to boost the physical edition sales.What a bunch of jerks.

Both SNES (Returns) and Wii U (City) had the best games.

The game's too expensive. Not interested until a 50% discount happens.

Steamworld games have better versions elsewhere, but man, I really miss the old 3DS days.

The first game and Match of the Millennium are among the best pocket games ever made. They have aged very, very well.

@AstralRedStar705 @Anti-Matter Good luck from March 2023 onwards.

It's not worth owning a 3DS without hacking it. And by hacking it, you essentially get access to all regions' games.

The font sucks, like their worst "HD" font so far.

Virtual Console. Unless you "hack" your Wii U, there is no official way to play Metroid Prime Trilogy or rare, expensive games such as Xenoblade or Pandora's Tower.

@HolyGeez03 That makes $50/year for Switch Online, you can't simply purchase the $30 expansion if you want the DLCs.

XBox Game Pass has over 100 games in the catalog, half of them being quality, full $60 games.

There is a huge gap between both services here.

You need to spend $120 to enjoy the "free" DLCs bundled with the $30 expansion pass. That's not even comparable to getting 2-3 full games each month.

That was expected, this game never looked like it could stand out among dozens of great shmups that released in the past 30 years or so. $40 for what? A bunch of ugly pixels and a barebones presentation?

Koei Tecmo. Just look at the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection mess that was never patched.

Simply put, it's unplayable without any mods or patches. "Grindy" is a compliment for this game.

It's incredible how unbalanced and grindy this game is, even for 1990s standards. It's a shame since there is so much good stuff in the late game sections.

Will probably become another Witcher clone or a MOBA in next installments.

Nothing meaningful was lost today.

I'm here hoping we have more games announced for Arcade Stadium today.

Just add more games to Arcade Stadium.

The game still looks pretty bad though.

I miss when those games shipped in a completed state.

@farrgazer That's kinda alright but still kills the point of having some sort of challenge. I loved the first Metal Slug port on PS1 because it actually wanted you to finish the game with a maximum of 3 coins IIRC. The replay value gets pretty high.

I wish such games weren't strictly 1-CC oriented. Console versions of several shmups, like Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun, had a small share of continues available to the player for a challenging (yet fair) ride.

Fingers crossed for a decent port that's not limited to the basic arcade emulation.

Interesting for who? We're moving towards a future where Tencent, Sony and Microsoft dictate the rules, and that's not a good thing.

Might jump in when it gets a discount, loved the first entry.

Yeah, who cares. It's a videogame.

Stick to the Apple Arcade exclusivity then, and good luck.

It's legal as long as they do it like SM64 PC port - you HAVE to do it yourself, with a Rom that's not provided by themselves.

The Pokémon Company deserves that sort of thing.

Not complaining, but I wish it looked like a 2021 game. It would justify the $40.

Not sure if we need another ALTTP clone

So, this means a Collection Vol. 2 is on the way?

Cool, and thanks for sharing, now I also own a copy without having to pay thousands for a set of imaginary numbers.

It's a great game, but do yourself a favor and stay away from spoilers. There's a particular reveal that kills the entire story if you find out earlier.

Things that should have been fixed before release.

Please, don't make another Ninja Gaiden 3.

Nier Automata is a must. Such a fantastic game.

@SOOAP Still not an excuse to completely ignore preservation measures because "it all should end anyway".

@SOOAP Given the current state of technology and how data is stored across servers, we would need a global scale disaster with no survivors to erase everything. Still not an excuse to completely ignore preservation measures because "it all should end anyway". That's not how societies should walk towards the future.

@SOOAP Information can last forever. The language you speak and the stuff you learned in school are good examples. They were not stored in a single book.

It's pointless, the discount already exists since release day.

Western artists can't model a good looking female face even if their lives dependend on it. Not even rubber dolls are that hideous.
