@Kingbaard i don't think i've ever seen you comment out of anything but frothing rage, so i'm not sure why you come here

@Matty1988 I mean, twilight princess HD, lttp, zelda 1-2, oot, majoras mask, wind waker HD, botw, and skyward sword (maybe minish cap and the ds games, dont know enough about that part of VC) are all on one console technically

can we revoke text formatting from certain users

@FargusPelagius i have a bridge to sell you

remarkably condensed review for how much is technically covered here! (not a bad thing, mind you)

@Balta666 i know a good friend of mine uses it to play PS1 games at least, although i hear it's a mite bit dodgy (i'm not comfortable hacking my stuff til its near end of lifetime)

3DS is where i played most of my fan-translated snes games, it's the form factor that's appealing over say, an emulator console or a phone

@Balta666 you'd be surprised how many people hacked their 3DS and now their switch to have a portable emulation box

@BloodNinja sadly it chalks up for a lot of people to "the law says it's illegal, ergo it's bad"

i put 6,000 hours on the 3DS...horrifying

actually kind of dope, although without home...a little useless

can't wait for the dark and gritty Talespin reboot next

@ChakraStomps "a commie groupthink"...do you hear yourself?

the article talks about much more than what you commented, that is all i was saying

alright you worked a giggle out of me with that tagline

@VoidofLight i dunno, shulk, reyn, fiora, and dunban at least all have a certain je ne sais quoi that's lost here, the XC1 designs reminded me more of FF12 than anything

sharla i'll totally give you but sharla kind of got the short end of the stick in every way

i can't get over how generic the designs in this one are looking. they feel like they overcorrected from 2's ridiculous overdesigns and are now making characters for whatever anime is popular for about two weeks

"Sol Cresta offers no continues, which is a good thing" that feels...debatable

wow you guys are expecting a lot more out of this dlc than me, ill be grateful if we even get one antigrav section in an old course

@FredsBodyDouble "random and obscure game" maybe in the west, sure, lmao

@SwitchForce you know local multiplayer has been a staple of the series for going on 30 years right

I swear, I have never found a place so bad at conflating objective and subjective as these comment sections

wow, was not expecting like, late 80s japanese dance techno for megalomania at the end there

@fafonio i haven't played octopath traveller so I can't speak to that but I think it has a pretty great way of bringing them all together; you may find each of the 7 stories leaning a bit into the clichés of their respective genre/time period but it's in service of a greater unity at the end (which is REALLY HARD TO TALK ABOUT WITHOUT SPOILING THE WHOLE GAME SO)

@anoyonmus @ReaperMelia i put 28 hours in myself to do everything, but I could see that max amount being 2-3 hours longer/shorter depending on player (and considerably less if you don't do everything in the final chapter)

it's one of those games where I could see the price point being a bit of a sticking point for its length, but I think it did a wonderful job with its time and would be a bit shocked if they added more to such a clean-cut experience

@IGN_Commenter the review is originally from 2016, see top of article; I'd assume if they couldn't originally they were able to finish it in the 6 years since then

@Crono1973 so they criticize it and get upset fans, or laud it and get smug non-fans? kind of a catch-22 there

it's a lot like chrono trigger in that regard (especially coming back to stuff like the prior critique up this thread of a boring villain, visible encounters), different strokes critiques for sacred cow games

@QueenKittenWrite quite a few of these things are extremely taste-based issues, most notably complaining about the villain and setting, and the whole "arc then relegated to background" thing is more symptomatic of RPGs as a whole than earthbound itself

i certainly wouldn't give earthbound a 10/10 (i keep thinking about how unneccessary and irritating almost everything in the desert is, between the mole hole and the monkey maze), but it's not too terribly hard to see why someone would

@Modsandsods1 see previous articles, there is no monetization on his videos

this feels a bit too over the top, the dragon ball meme reference isn't doing any favors

@LokiKatze i think it'll be hard to determine that until it comes out honestly, and at the end of the day there'll be a lot of preference involved (i.e.: preferring how the original looks/sounds, the fan translation versus official and the little things they did to it like having each character have a unique font, versus even the japanese), so ultimately if you're really itching to give it a try you won't really lose anything playing the original (since the gameplay will likely be the same) but otherwise it might be worth it to wait to see how the remake shakes out

someone already mentioned it, but it is kind of embarrassing that the response to overwhelming agreement that the headline was kind of exaggerating was "let's add twitter people who agree to the article"

compare to: http://web.archive.org/web/20220209234443/https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/02/chrono-cross-is-getting-a-remaster-and-boy-does-it-look-rough

@wuntyme8 they're mostly straightforward rpgs but each one has another genre twisted in--one is (VERY LOOSELY) a survival horror, another a stealth game, another takes inspiration from mech anime, and another has fighting game inspiration

they all use the same top-down overworld and grid-based combat, at least in the original, though

@Fizza basically, you have seven short separate rpgs with a grid-based battle system, each with their own (albeit rather cliched, but that's the charm--it makes sense in context) story and characters, which all come together in the end

@Screen i would just comment "corny" in response to this if possible

honestly i don't really care that much either way. more power would be cool but i dont ever really feel like i'm settling/getting the raw deal playing on the switch, even in games with super tiny texture load distances like NMH3

@wHeReArEtHeChEeToS you get all the waves in a pass for $25, I was confused too though so I hope they really spell it out

@ChakraStomps this is a way reductionist look at what this article covers

@michellelynn0976 three months to think on that and that's all you have...?

@Judal27 right? it feels like they're overcorrecting from the backlash 2's designs got

do the animations feel slow to anyone else? dig the artstyle though, looking like it plays like dead cells in a weird way

@Damo depends on who you're asking

time to cash out on my copy of lunateas veil before it's too late >_>

it looks fine? reminds me of the ff7-9 rereleases

never finished my PS1 copy, just couldn't find enough to get invested in. all the two-line party members probably didnt help

abhorr the voice acting and the hd 2d artstyle (feels overly-animated when it comes to effects, surroundings tend to look like a bad shadowbox) but, if it gets more people to play a fantastic and clever game, so be it. always happy to see one of my favorite games escape limbo

feels like these games get a little less unique with each title, still, remaining hopeful its better than 2

honestly just keep blowing up 8, if it ain't broke, no need to reinvent the wheel

add some new characters/the costumes from tour while you're at it

this is maybe the most meaningless appropriation of a buzzword yet

@TheFox who is making them available to download here

@JJtheTexan it's only a small bit of a tragedy the only official mother 3 ost releases are rearrangements and/or not the entire soundtrack

thank god someone else has the Dr. Luigi soundtrack uploaded

@Rika_Yoshitake the graphics and performance analysis channel is analyzing the graphics and performance?! have them hung!

@Snatcher they made the same completely off the cuff unrelated screed on 2 articles, blaming "Rainbow Queer Totems" and other things for people not liking NFTs

@Dr_Awkward someone's tilted enough to go through user comments huh

@CactusMan mate wait til you see some of udon's out of print work
