@NeonMullet Or had one button be same-y/generic martial arts and the other be each of their unique weapons, with different combos switching between them. Still keeps it simple but everyone unique.
@burninmylight The sad thing is I guarantee if they made a budget Chao Garden game for $20-40 and an appropriate amount of mini games, it'd sell well for how little effort it'd take. I refuse to believe they don't know it's a thing people have been wanting since it went away.
Now that this collection's happened, I'm hoping it does well and Digital Eclipse ends up doing collections for the other, non-Fighting Game Marvel & Spider-Man games, Spider-Man having enough for his own collection.
@LadyCharlie Feel like the Steam version would have the smallest install base since Fightcade exists on PC. Not that collections like these hold an online community that well in the first place.
I hate whenever there's a 'up to 80-95% off' advertised, because it's always exclusively one or two games people don't want while the rest are average sales at best.
If everything is backwards, the hardware (Joycons included) is a solid upgrade, and they dish out some performance updates for older titles, I'd be willing to go with $500.
Could see them holding the amiibo announcement as filler for a Direct of some sort. Or maybe they're being cautious and want to see how well the game itself does first to judge how many to make to not end up making too many or too few.
I mean they're doing good as far as re-releases go. Really weird how more companies don't do it... or they did and it was only digitally on the 360 & PS3 stores. SF6 is fairly well-balanced as far as everyone being viable, so something like a new Darkstalkers or MvC game with the same quality would be awesome.
@larryisaman Something like that would make an interesting side project for both companies. Make it a $40-50 title with good arcade graphics, the Capcom characters only being from Fighting Games and the Nintendo characters not going past X year/consoles to fit in better. Won't eat into the sales of any current, new, or old releases since it'd be it's own thing.
@CaleBoi25 A Spirit that starts you with a Franklin Badge effectively turns it into a 1v1 real fast, and just staying where the Assist Trophy zooms in and waiting with a chare move more or less gives you the W.
NGL it'd be kinda fun to play as Ganondorf between the time gap of OoT and actively see how he just squashed every bit of resistance and go on a power trip.
@Pineapple_Mohawk This. I hate games like Persona and FE:TH that put you on a timer, as it makes me want to look up a guide to make sure I don't miss out on something important.
@iconmaster I actually found the 2007 movie DS games to be really good. "San Andres w/ Robots" sums them up well, the Story for the Decepticons version specifically is very well done.
Sounds kind of like Cybertron Adventures for the Wii, which was a Railshooter with vehicle segments. Will wait for reviews, but depending on price I might just buy it regardless.
@DripDropCop146 The Campaign of Rise of the Dark Spark was awful in story and difficulty, but the Escalation Mode was the best of the 3 games weirdly enough. It had all the best aspects of WFC's & FOC's, expanded on them, and added new things like Wave Bosses.
@Maubari I'm pretty sure Nintendo's the one disrespecting it and the fans' respect for it is why they're disappointed. Games like Super Mario 3D World and Kirby's Return to Dreamland got entire extra campaigns along with general gameplay additions, while both modern DKC games just get tweaks to make them a little easier.
An underwhelming port yeah, but the fact that it's the 'worst' thing from it shows how packed with goodies the Direct was. Of course should it be released for $50 or $40 the price would completely justify it.
I mean they'd have to be pretty insane to not release a Beat 'Em Up on a console with Co-Op available at all times due to each Joycon being able to work as a separate controller.
It wouldn't be such a problem if Nintendo games actually went on sale, but the most they get discounted is by 20 bucks, which is not much especially for games that came out in 5+ years ago.
@link3710 What 'unique concept' did SV do? 'Open world w/ multiple storylines', something that's been the norm for decades? At least I had to pay attention when playing Let's Go, and it wasn't easy to get stupidly overleveled.
There's so many things about the Switch & Pokemon that were disappointed. SV & SwSh sold amazing despite being mid at best even excluding performance issues, Let's Go & Legends sold much worse despite being much more interesting games, and aside from mobile game ports, the Switch was dead for spin-offs - we got NewSnap which was fun, Rescue Team DX which was good but just a remake, & Pokken DX which is just a port. And a lack of spin-offs just puts more attention on the mainline games, which in this case is not good.
A Fallout 3 Remaster was/is allegedly in the works according to the Microsoft-Bethesda leaks. But since everything was pushed back, it might not release before the next Nintendo console.
Now is genuinely a terrible time to jump back in or start, but there's still the 2nd Anniversary Campaign going on too, so worth it just to log in for 2K Gems & a few Packs. You can also enter the Codes 'YGO25MD' & 'YGO25DL' for a PFP and Sleeves, and if you have someone's referral code and are Bronze 4 or lower/a Returning Player, you can get a free Swordsoul Deck, and if you get to Bronze 4 (which is only 3 Wins + you can't Rank Down), you get more cards for it.
Would love them see them tackle a Marvel/Spider-Man one, though that seems like it'd be a massive licensing nightmare in comparison with all the different rights holders & clauses.
@Spider-Kev Only difference from what I saw in the screenshot between home versions & 3DS is they put all the HUD stuff like the equipped weapon & map on the bottom screen that were just on the one screen originally.
Don't get upset - it could've been any other show, movie, comic, etc. and it'd still suck. 'Outright Games' is like the modern LJN logo on a kids games.
@Spider-Kev Retro City Rampage DX is on Switch though. In fact it's on sale for about 2 more days iirc. A Spectrobes collection or reboot would be amazing, but I doubt that'd ever happen.
@OFFICIALMichi I'm not sure between fees and reputation if it'd be worth it for the people involved sadly. That and since it was very much a product of it's time when these games were not widely available.
I understand Lumiose City is in the dead center of Kalos, but until I see it in action, it doesn't sound that great an idea. And at this point in time GF ain't exactly known for nailing executions of their ideas.
Like most people seem to be voicing, I'll be waiting for a sale. The Beat 'Em Up genre's finally revitalized in recent years, so between ports, re-releases, & actual new games, I've already got plenty on backlog.
@DogDetective You gotta remember this was made ground-up to look and play like this, not a scuffed port where the game and graphics were made separately 'n mashed together. I've heard it's no Shredder's Revenge or Turtles in Time, but it's still a good Beat 'Em up in it's own right.
Aside from the obvious Rare Replay, I feel Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, & Fable 1-3 would fit in easily with Nintendo & PlayStation ecosystems. We know Oblivion and Fallout 3 are getting Remasters at some point, and since New Vegas is in the same Engine it only makes sense to get one too.
If they were remakes of HGSS specifically I feel like it'd be that Game Category instead. New Let's GO games would be interesting but feel unlikely with how mixed people felt about the originals with more popular Pokemon. A Legends game taking place in Johto & Kanto as one Region before separating would be cool. But most likely just RBY & GSC coming to NSO, maybe with Home support if we're lucky.
@BodkinDQ If I had to guess, this existing is more for PS & Xbox than Switch. But they're not gonna be weird like Bandai with the Digimon games and not release it on the original Platform in case there were any holdouts.

So like Casey Jones being unlocked at the end of Shredder's Revenge, if he had story relevance and was just a pallet swap.

Re: Vampire Survivors Drops Yet Another Free Update Today, Includes "Secret" New Stage
The game that keeps on giving. $5 and a few $2-3 DLCs give more content than some AAA $70 games now.
Re: Two Zelda amiibo Restocked Ahead Of Echoes Of Wisdom Launch (US)

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Pokémon
Makes sense even with the Remake - either you pay $60 for the Remake or pay $60 at least once to rent the original.

@MegaVel91 With 5 people controlling 1 character?

@Serpenterror Well I'm curious, how exactly do you control 1 robot among up to 5 players otherwise?
Re: Talking Point: Would You Want Quality And Performance Options For Nintendo's 'Switch 2' Games?
