@Bustacap So Piko plans to re-release Glover again but drops support for the game on Steam. Just shows how lazy they are in game preservation, just buy licensing rights for games no publisher cares about anymore and hope some suckers who has nostalgia for their games buys them.
You are very much buying a Wii U for what exclusives are left on it. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X. I know these were already recommended but that is just how it is.
There are a few games that are better on the Wii U than on other platforms such as Yoshi's Woolly World, ZombiU, NES Remix, Rayman Legends and Wonderful 101.
I DO NOT recommend majority of the Virtual Console, the emulation for the most part is very poor, specifically the contrast which appears to be very dark for most supported systems. GBA and Turbogfx are the exception and highly recommended. For other consoles, you are better playing on Nintendo Switch Online, micro consoles or as a last or only resort, emulating on your PC or modded systems.
This is nothing new in the industry when it comes to remakes and remasters. Original devs are often uncredited because they no longer work for the company that published the games they worked on. Sometimes, original devs are credited in generic special thanks without actually naming anyone.
Let me guess, they are just exposing the security of the publisher to pressure them to improve their security. That is almost every hacker ever, not buying it anymore. Bandai Namco is not going to hire or reward them.
I also cringed at Wind Waker when I first saw the trailers, but then I played at a friend's house and loved it. I looked in every store to buy my own copy, Walmart, Electronics Boutique (before merging with GameStop), and some video store I don't remember the name of. I ended up buying Viewiful Joe from the video store instead because I could not find Wind Waker anywhere that day. My friend let me borrow Wind Waker but decided he didn't want his game when I tried to give it back. I still have his game to this very day.
@NTELLIGENTMAN They do have the rights to Ms. Pac-Man but from what I understand, AtGames purchased royalty rights to Ms. Pac-Man. In otherwords, Bandai Namco must pay a sum to AtGames if Namco uses Ms. Pac-Man. Kind of stupid if you ask me.
Four is apparently enough since Konami released the Castlevania Advance Collection and there are four Rocket Knight games including the 2010 sequel on XBOX Live Arcade and PSN.
I didn't know that...perhaps I forgotten they released those. I have the Contra and Castlevania Collection as well as everything else they released on other platforms including the Genesis mini, so I am not exactly following the expansion pack unless they start releasing games not available elsewhere. I suppose there could a little hope for Rocket Knight but I am not raising my hopes up.
Konami will likely release their titles in compilations likes they have been doing with Castlevania and Contra. I don't think Konami has released a single game under Nintendo's online subscription service. Honestly, I would rather buy a Rocket Knight compilation anyways but I doubt that will ever happen because Konami pretty much abandoned the IP.
Rocket Knight never had a re-release, so it should be no surprise he won't get one on the Switch. The most he got was a mediocre sequel in 2010. Konami is more interested in milking more popular franchises like Castlevania and Contra...oh, and Ninja Turtles. If Konami re-releases Rocket Knight games on modern hardware, I'd be shocked they would do such a thing.
@Scrubicius Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a good port on the Switch considering the hardware limitation. The framerate is capped at 30 but is often stable. The game unfortunately is limited to display at 720p when docked. I would only recommend the port if you want your Crash 4 on the go unless the Switch version is your only option....actually, I would recommend it over the always online version on Battle.net.
Never was balanced. Drug addicts get many years in prison while impaired drivers get just a few year for vehicle homicide. Furthermore, bad cops get a paid vacation for police brutality. Justice here in America is absolute crap.
@RupeeClock The collection included a video showcasing all games playable on GameCube though not in the collection specifically. Nintendo was pushing the Gameboy Player that same year.
Why would they bring the Stop n' Swap system back? Rare did not put it to good use when they implemented it in the XBox 360 re-release along with Nuts n' Bolts.
@sleepinglion
Did you buy RDR through Steam? In most cases, you usually get your refund from the store you bought your game from. Kind of like how you buy a product and get a refund from Wal*Mart, you would go back to Wal*Mart, not the manufacturer.
@sleepinglion Are you talking about the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy - Definitive Edition? You did not buy that from Steam. The collection is a Rockstar Game Launcher exclusive, it was never on Steam.
Sakurai took one step and twitched his nose! What will he do next...take another step and take a deep breathe? Perhaps he will move his index finger? We'll find out more later tonight!
@TryToBeHopeful Does not matter what age you are, in your late 30s you wish were in your 20s; in your 40s, you will wish you are in you 30s and so on. No matter what age you are, you will always feel old.
I had no idea Rise of the Tomb Raider was on 360. Honestly, I think if Square-Enix puts in the effort, Rise of the Tomb Raider can run natively on the Switch but Square Enix could not even bother to port PS3 compilations on Switch which they done on other platforms.
Metroid Prime 4 replaced Metroid Dread as the Metroid game in development hell. Metroid Dread was in development hell for 16 years so Metroid Prime 4 won't release until 2033 if Nintendo has something to replace Metroid Prime 4 on that year.
None. I have the Genesis / Mega Drive Collection, Castlevania & Contra Collections and the SEGA Genesis Mini. All the games offered are included at least on one of these collections. Nintendo is just wasting money adding these Genesis games to the online service. Customers such as myself want games we cannot get anywhere else. Offer Genesis titles that are not already on the Switch. Where is Rocket Knight Adventures?
Pass, I have these games on PS4 which I can play in 4K. Why would I play inferior versions which I cannot take on the go. If I can't take my game with me, I probably won't buy it on the Switch.
Playing Lost at Random on PC. Fantastic game, I wouldn't mind double dipping for the Switch version at some point, maybe a physical version if such thing becomes available.
Give the license to right developer & publisher, Jumanji has the potential to be a good game. It could be solid open-world adventure game akin to Rise of the Tomb Raider, or a more linear experience like Uncharted. Not every licensed game has to be some poorly developed multiplayer game...in fact, most of the better games are not which includes Batman, Spider-Man, Riddick, Ghostbusters: The Vide Game, Alien: Isolation and the list goes on. Walking Dead had two multiplayer titles that flopped with one cancelled for consoles while the Telltale game still continues to sell...I would take Telltale's Jumanji over what was already released despite not exactly I would want from a Jumanji game. Jumanji can be done right if publishers quit following multiplayer trends. Just make a solid action-adventure game based on recent films...they could make even a sequel or prequel game as oppose following the films directly much like Ghostbusters did.
Why does Twitter always think every post is a tease for something? Sakurai was just merely having fun with his debug version of Smash Bro. Ultimate. and decided to share on Twitter. If social media was never a thing, this pic referencing Terminator would not be shared outside Sakurai's home & office except for maybe to close friends of his. His fans should be grateful he shares his pics, but instead they nitpick every detail in hope he his teasing something. No, Terminator is probably not coming to Smash nor is Doom guy. This pic is only referencing that Sakurai is a fan of the film Terminator and nothing more.
It is very likely there will be mandatory updates no matter what size the game is and you cannot just download those on a game card. I really don't know what this label is for, most games require updates so an an external card is necessary anyways.
It likely there will be one more surprise character reveal after the fighters pack, Of course, it will not be announced until the end of Sakurai's final fighters pack presentation. I don't expect anymore after that though.
While I get your point but I feel you should not bother with Destroy All Humans! on Switch. Don't support companies who are willing to put out a shoddy port job for a quick cash grab. While the Switch has limited capabilities compared to other platforms but with excellent ports of Doom Eternal and Crash Bandicoot 4 with barely any compromises, Destroy All Humans! is an obvious poor port. Don't support really bad ports just those are your only options, you better off just skipping Destroy All Humans! entirely if you don't want another console.
Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is baffling. I always thought of it to be the kind of game for only hardcore collectors to show off on Youtube but was anybody asking for a reprint?
