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.

yeah it's very much the nes how the average person would remember it. it successfully evokes the nes and remains relatively faithful without being hampered by its limitations.

What's the deal with that anyway? Is it an entirely new game or a remake of anything?

Remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden. All characters are now hotter but you can't marry them. It has had good Japanese reviews plus there are amiibo.

An official translation of Seiken Densetsu 3? :swoon:

My deep dark secret is that I have never played SD3
Or Majora's Mask
Or Skyward Sword
Or Secret of Evermore
Or Chrono Trigger

My god, you poor neglected child. :stare:

Majora's Mask is overrated and I never played Skyward Sword either, though it didn't sound very good. CT and SoE are both fanatastic though and CT is available on mobile.

It'd be especially wonderful if the SD collection added native 3 player co-op to SD3 instead of just being 2 player. Especially since a 3p romhack exists so it's not like doing so is impossible.

Smash on the Switch would own because all those turbo nerds who insist on having MAXIMUM RESPONSE TIME with wired controllers would occasionally lose sync with the left joycon and kill themselves.

I'd be shocked if the Wii U GameCube adaptor didn't work with it. That's probably a major reason for the USB ports on the dock.

Nintendo literally brought out a Gamecube controller just for Smash Bros on WiiU.

Wouldn't be a stretch to see them do it again.

man i loved the gamecube, it was the only console i had during that generation, but i just don't get the love for that controller. like, it's okay, but the design looks like a weird madcatz controller, the triggers are mushy and weird, and the c-stick instead of a regular right analog stick never felt right, especially for shooters. i realize this is not a popular opinion but i just have zero nostalgia for that controller.

i'm a big fan of the switch pro controller, i just wish the d-pad was a little less finicky and that the triggers were analog, but other than that i like it almost as much as the dualshock 4.

I believe it was produced to mirror the super wide arcade controller, and to reduce latency as much as possible.

Anyone here played Crawl? Version 1.0 just dropped (after being in "beta" for about 3 years) and it would be about the best possible Switch game that you could hope for, and the developers have confirmed that they are actively looking at bringing it to the Switch.

Everyone is speculating this is the case but that's because people can't just accept that maybe Nintendo was just dumb as gently caress about the NES Classic

Sources already tell people that there is a Switch Mini that can't be dock coming out FY 2019. Sources say stupid poo poo.
