Why are people excited over an inferior SNES port of Fatal Fury 2 when the superior Neo Geo versions of the entire series has been on the eShop for years now?
@FragRed I thought the same thing, but we have no idea where the game is in development. Could be an early build. I'll reserve judgment until I see the final product in person(not a compressed youtube video).
@Lord That's just some California exclusive thing. Obviously nonsense. Handling a Switch game will most definitely not give you cancer LOL. I am Californian, born and raised in the Bay Area, but a lot of the stuff they have on the books now is absolutely absurd. It wasn't like that when I grew up there back in the 80s and 90s.
@Nintendoboy1994 Yeah, I'm also disappointed that the 3rd game was just left in the trash bin. They literally just released a new physical collection that has 1, 2 and...4 sigh I can only assume it is a lack of money issue because the HD remasters of 1 & 2 were crowd funded. The collection is still worth buying though. You get the 3 games for 40 bucks. Not a bad deal IMO.
@nocdaes That's a bit of an over exaggeration. MK 8 moved over 8 million units on the Wii U. While that of course pales in comparison to what Deluxe has done on the Switch, that's still a large number. I agree though that the leaks are underwhelming, but I'm not convinced they are legit either. Nintendo has had a very long time to develop this console. Surely they came up with something more than just a more powerful Switch with a larger screen and magnetic Joycons..
I vaguely remember this game when it was new back in the 90s, but it did not interest me in the slightest. Looks really mid.. There's already so many great classic(and modern) 3D platformers on the Switch..we just got Banjo Tooie last week.(rejoice!) Like why waste your time on this? I suppose if it was on sale for dirt cheap on the eShop I might bite..
Looking at this Rumble game, I don't think we missed out on much. I'm very content with the HD trilogy, Crash 4 and Crash Team Racing. Crash 5 getting canceled hurts though.
@HeadPirate Yes, Doom is readily available on PC at no cost, but people are paying for this to be able to play it on their Switch or other console of choice.
@mlt So I've been playing through Legacy of Rust and have had zero crashes or performance issues thus far. I did have a random disconnect playing online co-op though. The online definitely needs some work still. But I am stoked it was finally added. My only real gripe about the 2019 releases was that they didn't have online play and they fixed that!
@NeonPizza The resolution was indeed jacked up. The games are running on the awesome Kex Engine now. This is Nightdive's custom engine that powers all their remasters ie. Quake, Turok, Doom 64 etc.

Woop! Mario Kart 9 at long last!
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
@Waveboy Yep, the color and fun has been sucked out of everything. Remember how McDonalds used to be?

Re: Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Spotted In The Wild
Pff. Definitely one to file under "big deal.." considering it's a 14 year old game most of us have already played.
Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"
Stop assuming NSO will go away. That's pure speculation.

I feel like they might drop DK64 for Christmas next week.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Speeds Onto Nintendo Switch "Soon"
@Jhena No it wasn't. It was well made, but the forced team mechanics ruined it. All Stars and Transformed were much better.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Speeds Onto Nintendo Switch "Soon"
Did Sumo Digital develop this one?

Now that's yawn inducing. 😴

Hard pass. Not digging the style at all.
Re: Three Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@AmyTheBrawler That was the Sonic Gems Collection. I also had it for my Gamecube back in thr day.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
@Bass_X0 You're confused. We're talking about Donkey Kong Country for the Gameboy Color, not Donkey Kong Land here. Different games.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
@dustinprewitt Good question. I certainly don't.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Another Classic
@dustinprewitt Why would anyone want the GBC version of DKC when we already have the vastly superior SNES version?
Re: Xbox Chief On Bringing Games To Other Platforms, Says There Are No "Red Lines"
The Master Chief Collection on "Switch 2" would be sweet, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Xenoblade Chronicles X For Switch?
Zero interest in RPGs. Most overrated genre ever.

Re: Switch Online's "Mature" N64 App Expands With Two More Games
@rvcolem1 You know you can get Nightdives awesome remasters of both these games and they control great, right?
Re: Video: Yooka-Replaylee Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Original & Remaster)
This is so unnecessary. Playtonic should focus on a new game instead of nonsense like this.

@Kidfunkadelic83 The original team that made all the N64 classics is Playtonic now.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week
@Serpenterror They weren't on Virtual Console because Microsoft wasn't allowing them to be back in those days.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week
@batmanbud2 Goldeneye does too.
Re: 'Tetris Forever' Slots Into Place On Switch Next Month
Way too much Tetris for me. If you've played one, you've basically played them all.
Re: Ty The Tasmanian Tiger: Bush Rescue Switch Physical Bundle Out This Month
@Anti-Matter Not an Activision issue. Krome remastered 3 as well so I don't know why they won't port that one to Switch.
Re: Aspyr Is Remastering Yet Another Star Wars Game For Switch
@TheBoilerman Oh sorry, I didn't notice the 2.
Re: Aspyr Is Remastering Yet Another Star Wars Game For Switch
@TheBoilerman Huh? Nightdive remastered Dark Forces not to long ago.

Re: Crash Team Rumble Was Reportedly In Development For Switch But Got Cancelled
Looking at this Rumble game, I don't think we missed out on much. I'm very content with the HD trilogy, Crash 4 and Crash Team Racing. Crash 5 getting canceled hurts though.
Re: Aspyr Publisher Switch Sale, Up To 95% Off - Star Wars, Tomb Raider & More (US)
I would have jumped at the Tomb Raider collection had it been 95% off.

What about the sequel? If this sells well, maybe they'll revamp that one too.
Re: No, Hollow Knight: Silksong Won't Be At Gamescom Opening Night Live
Vaporware.. Never heard of a 2D Metroidvania taking this long to develop. I've lost all respect for Team Cherry.

Re: Surprise! DOOM + DOOM II Get Newly Enhanced Release On Switch eShop
@mlt Undercooked? How so? Seems superior in every way to the old ones to me. Online play was a little laggy, but I didn't notice any other issues.
