Also, considering that no two Monkey Island games have had the same art style, I don’t understand the issue with the art… as long as it feels like a Monkey Island game, it’ll be great! I actually love and hate the new art style simultaneously, so that feels pretty weird, but the trailers so far have really invoked Monkey Island to me, so I’m all in!
I’m so hyped for this game! Monkey Island 2 made me fall in love with point-and-clicks! In preparation, I’ve just played through every Monkey Island game! I’m ready for more! 😜
I’ve been playing Curtain Call on and off for the past few months, and I was thinking it’d be great to have an Ace Attorney Theatrhythm game… and Lo and behold, you mention it here 👏 😂 I’d love to see a Monkey Island one too… or maybe a Hollow Knight rhythm game…. Mmmmm
I hope the series lives on longer than I do! I love the games, and although I’m not sold on the art right now, I’m sure I’ll love it when I’m playing it 😂 Escape From Monkey Island looked pretty terrible too, especially since Curse looked so good… I agree with Ron Gilbert’s comments about moving forward. The art reminds me a lot of shadow puppets. I just want this game right now…
I hope they release the Metroid Prime Trilogy HD remaster that's been rumoured some time soon... That should hold off hungry fans for another 365 days at least...
Honestly, gameplay wise the game is fine. Not the best Metroid experience, but I really like what they tried to do. And Samus looks great in it! As for the story, there’s a great analysis of the difference in translation on YouTube https://youtu.be/KTuMfsWwd0E , which doesn’t quite fix everything, but explains a lot.
responsive controls, exploration and a sense of finding what you're looking for even though you don't know what you're looking for... For me, a good Metroidvania will have me muttering to myself as I try to to remember where I was going and thinking "where's that thing I saw that looks like it might be opened by this new thing that I've got"
I bought the KH collections on PC recently… and I would have double dipped if these weren’t Cloud versions… shame really 😔 they couldn’t even give us one port…?
for anyone interested, the Switch seems to really hate Sony bluetooth headphones/ear pods... because I'm having an awful time with it... and what makes things worse is - bluetooth audio doesn't work in local communication mode, which is annoying because that's how Pokemon Sword starts... in order to connect, I need to join internet in game, go out to the home menu to connect to my headphones, get back in the game which then tells me I've disconnected from the internet... then my headphones disconnect because I'm in local communication mode... hah.
Super hyped for this game... I just hope they fix some of the visuals, because at times, the character models just look terrible... particularly at the joints... I don't understand how it is newer than Sword and Shield but takes a step back visually.... Fingers crossed though! 😋
@LEGEND_MARIOID me too... DS, 3DS, Switch and iOS... I've totally lost my marbles, but I hope I won't lose my Ace Attorneys 😅 Physical compilations would have made my day...
I hope Nintendo see the uptick in Metroid interest and release a Switch boxset of Metroid Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion... I would lap that up.
I'm always upset if I let my Splatoon-mates down during a Splatfest... but at the same time, I get seriously miffed when others don't pull their weight too...
This is great news! I have it on Steam, but couldn't get it to run AND there was no Tech Support even before TellTale closed down... I'm definitely getting this!
The boxart looks so much nicer than the game graphics we see in the trailer... If I can get over the hurdle of the graphics, I would be super tempted to get this on Switch... I love PoP and I started replaying the old games a couple weeks before they announced this remake... I'm really torn. Love PoP - Hate the remake's graphics... -_-;
If they need time to make a great port, then give them time... Panic Button have given me hope when I hear port... they are slowly washing away the bad taste I have from the PC port of Arkham Knight...
I don't care about the so-called 'graphical sacrifice' because I hadn't played Doom 2016, or Witcher 3 before they came out on Switch due to a lack of time to sit in front of my PC to play. What does bother me though, is that these games are 3 times more expensive on Switch because they're "new" -_-;
Personally, I quite like the internal achievements such as with Hollow Knight on Switch. They just made the system-wide achievements an internal checklist, which is nice. My achievements are for me to know haha
Indie games tend to have way more heart. Whereas a lot of the bigger AAA titles tend to attack our wallets with microtransactions, indie titles are just made for you to play the crap out of. I have sunk so many hours into Hollow Knight, and it's one of those games that is perfect for Switch's on-the-go play, yet still looks so beautiful when docked. I'm so glad I double-dipped and bought Hollow Knight on Switch, because even including the price of the PC version, both of them together is cheaper than most AAA titles and easily has enough content for hours of play.
I'm surprised Layton's Mystery Journey is on Switch: [NSW] Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaires’ Conspiracy DX (Level-5, 08/09/18) – 9,704 (New) haha, I thought it was on 3DS
I noticed frame rate drops in Zelda BotW when it was first released... Did it ruin my enjoyment of the game? No. Did it make the game bad? Definitely not. People who complain about framerate issues should play the PC version of Batman Arkham Knight. People said that was unplayable. I still got 100% completion on it... haha
Fraggin' YEAH! DOOOOOooooom!!! I hope they can implement motion controls a la Splatoon 2. The added motion control to DOOM was great, but Splatoon still does it better...
