I reckon we'll see something at E3.

Alternatively hope for a 'lull' period this year and "Surprise! Smash is out digitally RIGHT NOW at the end of this Direct"

I'd honestly be only half-surprised if Nintendo didn't go out of their way to make Smash 4 Deluxe or whatever they would call it. You can never really tell with them sometimes.

Better have them port Smash early than spend a bunch of time making a new one from scratch and never seeing Metroid for another decade.

In hindsight Retro tweeting a bunch of prime meat/number teases is a much better response than the Mr. Shifty devs telling people to buy the Steam version of their game if they don't like the frame rate on the Switch version.

Good, but it's a 1:1 remake and it brings over a lot of old school nuisances like starting over alllllll the way back in town if you die.

Still really really enjoying my time with it.

Protip: There is a transformation pad in town (In the room underneath the 1st shop) once you unlock a certain item.

If you buy the Tasmanian Sword, equip it, and jump
While in the air hold UP and press attack

You'll cycle through your transformations

I'm with you in that the only thing keeping me from saying "Smash sucks" is pages worth of nerd fury (and it doesn't really suck, per se) but they aren't really flooding the market with it. More like no more Fire Emblem.

Hey Infinitum, a couple of weeks back you linked to a page on Vooks dot net that claimed Target Australia would have MK8D for 62 OzBucks in their next catalogue. Target's current catalogue has no mention of it though.

Do you have any idea how reputable Vooks is on this stuff? It's getting kinda close now and I don't want the EB games guy to mock me coz I didn't preorder.

edit: I speel gud.

Vooks are reputable

Here's the current article with all the prices, across all the stores
http://www.vooks.net/mario-kart-8-deluxe-bargain-cheap-price-australia/

Save this image to your phone, so it looks like you took a picture of it, and show it to EBGames and they'll price match.


EBGames price match all the time, don't stress about the dude knocking you back.
Just say you're looking to price match Target and you'll be apples.

They price matched on pictures I got from vooks to knock $50 off my initial Switch preorder, which meant I could grab 1-2-Switch for $20 bucks.

Like we're going through a retro renaissance with everyone re-releasing their old poo poo, but better.

-----------

Minecraft deets from a stream that went up today
- 60fps
- WiiU to Switch world transfers in the pipeline (Not at launch)
- Supports Medium sized worlds (3072 x 3072)

For reference, here the max sizes for:
Vita / Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii U - 864 x 864.
PS4 / Xbox One - 5120 x 5120 (Large world)

Lookin pretty good if you're into portable Minecraft.
(Hopefully it's priced reasonably :nyoron:)

Actually, if anything, that article supports what that guy is saying. The article mostly is just Yacht Club saying, "Yeah the NES was limited on these things, but we thought that'd be annoying so we decided to break the limitation here." Still a good read tho

They broke it in relatively insignificant ways. Added a few extra colors to the NES palette, made the display widescreen, allowed sprites to use 6 colors instead of 3 (so every sprite can be "made from 2 sprites" like Mega man), stuff like that.

Like the game is impossible to port as-is to NES, but it's an "idealized" NES game.

Thanks man. I'm just concerned cos I know the dudes at EB pretty well, and that picture you linked has a giant "VOOKS" watermark on it so they might think I'm being dodgy.

Also, is it just me, or does the G rating logo look off? I just really overthinking this, aren't I...?
