I'll wait for a review from another website. When the Genesis Collection hit Switch, you failed to mention its horrible input lag. Makes a fast-paced Sonic title impossible to play
If Nintendo wants to treat their back catalog as a streaming service, they're going to have to make larger drops. Imagine if Netflix or Hulu started today and said, "Yep, we have 40 things you can watch. Next week, we'll add two more."
It's a blast. For me, the biggest and best Lego title yet. It's a shame the DLC character packs don't also come with a unique level, even if it were brief
Thank you for sharing this. I remastered a different Nintendo hero last night. Are you familiar with Mega Man / Rockman (OVA) Upon a Star? I used AI video enhancement software on the DVD release for 1080p, 60fps video. The only bummer: it's mildly educational.
I dug Lego Star Wars, it's the first Lego title I've paid full price for since the original Lego Star Wars titles. Lotsa content by folks who clearly love the source material
A Link to the Past is my favorite in the series. Growing up when it was new, this adventure was a quantum leap past what we'd seen in Zeldas 1 and 2. Its sprite art is still charming today
What makes this Boba Fett any different than the one already in the game? Will they age him 30 years and give him a belly? Wait, I've got it... Mandalorian Boba can't keep his helmet on
@ImmortanJho Trek used to be aspirational and suggest that we can get through this to a better future. But yeah... I hear ya, bud. Things aren't looking so good right now. To me, it makes optimism all the more important, and not much of our entertainment reflects that. I could be mistaken, but the last time entertainment in general seemed this doom and gloom was when we were coming out of the Vietnam era. Star Wars came along and upended everything in film. Maybe we need something like that today to come along and remind us that morality isn't a lost cause
@NintendoWife You nailed it. Every character is struggling with some past trauma. There are no grand ideas. In this version, you can clone Data from a single positron. We saw Picard's father in an old TNG episode. If you Google 'Picard's dad', it's the first hit. The writers of Picard didn't even bother to do that. I dug the actor they used in this week's ep... but Picard's dad never wore a DS9 uniform with a Voyager badge because all of that came decades later for him. It's just dumb sci-fi that doesn't even respect the source material
This is beautiful and celebrates a time when Trek rocked. The newer shows are dystopian, edgy, depressing, dumbed down messes. It's no use reuniting the TNG cast next season if it's still coming from Picard's writing staff. But these lovingly created tributes to 90s-era Trek are truly inspired. Very cool share
@Threebcisum Not sure I buy that. Some things like Michael Bay's horrific Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles design are just bad choices made by tone deaf creatives
Most Hollywood press still hates the original for listening to fans on Sonic's design. Imagine that, taking what the paying audience wants into account. Glad to hear the sequel is doing well!
@ParadoxFawkes Agreed. I picked it up legit for my Switch, but have more fun playing it on PC (I use those same two mods). I like to beat a title fair and square, then use assistive options on subsequent plays
We're not supposed to speak of it, but the only solid way I've seen Switch titles upscaled it via emulation. They look incredible, especially with graphic packs. But if you're just blowing up a 1080p image, I don't see the bump being worth $100
@johnvboy Yeah, Lucas is definitely a "write the plot and let someone else do the dialogue" guy. I've learned to appreciate the prequels and hope to feel the same with the Disney films in time. I don't see myself forgiving how the legacy characters were treated. Han walked into a lightsaber and Luke gave up on life. Just once I'd like to see a continuation where the legacy characters got to go off and have good lives. Have you checked out the new game? I'm having a blast with it
@johnvboy I enjoyed Sith and Awakens was a promising start. It was clear after Last Jedi they had no grand plan, not even a few Post-Its outlining where the story was headed. Because Rise of Skywalker as a film was a series of fetch quests, it should work as a game
Normally, I wait on Lego games because they wind up on perma-sale. But I did pick this one up on launch day. If they take the time to create such a massive title that's fun to play, I should reward them for that with my cash in hopes they make another one like it. Perhaps redo the Indiana Jones entries
He lost some of his shine when he actively campaigned against folks seeing Kick-Ass 2. Let the film do its thing, rally against violence after, but he's still a dude who has been in some stellar films. I don't recall The Majestic being much of a big deal, but I rather enjoyed that one. He also had a nice little role in Simon Birch
Now that Nintendo has started going further back in the Zelda catalog (Link's Awakening), I'd love to see them apply a similar art style to the original Legend of Zelda. While I'm dreaming, an HD version of Zelda II with some QOL improvements. A Link to the Past is still gorgeous as is, perhaps just a widescreen remaster there. Again, whilst dreaming
How is this shocking? They handled the Virtual Console in a similar fashion, especially on 3DS. They dropped a collection of hits and then drip fed us duds. THAT'LL fight emulation, Nintendo, great job!
Not everything needs a timeline. I'd argue Zelda never needed one. As a pre-internet kid in the 90s, I recognized that the Zelda titles weren't all connected, that it was like a 'in every generation a Link, Zelda and Ganon will pop up to duke it out for the world' scenario
Kylo Ren was a terrible villain with all the emotional control of a Pop-Tart. But this title looks so good it may even make the Disney trilogy a fun visit
