Yeah, and it's not the first time, one of the devs is also responsible for the sonic mobile ports, and the steam version of Sonic CD. Guy made his own sonic game engine that supports widescreen resolutions and stuff, and then Sega hired him to make those ports and then hired MORE people from the fan community to help with Mania.

I need some BoI help. I finally beat It Lives with Eden through the grace of god (if you are lucky enough to get Guppy's Head, Car Battery, and Fish Tail in one run, good job you win!)

So I am currently standing in the room after beating the boss. There's a devil room to the south, a beam of light, and a trap door. I know the devil's room will lead to sheol, and the beam of light will take me to the cathedral, but what the hell is the trap door going to do?

Spellman posted:

A lot of commentators are saying they used 3DS models, but I think that's only because splitscreen 4P Smash Run and all of its character and enemy models would probably make it chug.

I think it's real. It's too much effort for modes and stages nobody cares about days before E3, and it wouldn't be the first time Smash screenshots got leaked right before the announcement

Why would a new smash game have split screen? Split screen would be atrocious compared to the shared screen zooming in and out and there's literally nothing gained from it unless the game had ridiculously huge levels.

Phantasium posted:

Give me a Belmont so I can have a Captain N free for all.

The lack of a Belmont, or any Castlevania characters, in Smash is just Konami being Konami.

I think we've got a better chance at seeing Ryu or Nina from BoF than a Belmont from Castlevania. When it comes to Konami I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they want to put a Pachinko machine in as a character in Smash.

They could also include the full text for SoM, since the SNES version couldn't fit on the cartridge IIRC. Not sure if the mobile versions of SoM have the SNES translation or a more complete one.

SD3 needs to be 3 players though. It's really weird that they kept 3 person parties but only 2 player co-op.

Sega wants people to preorder a digital game download. A digital preorder.

When new sales vectors for games come out, they always seem like bullshit -- See the first real application of DLC with the infamous Oblivion horse armor. The benefit of the doubt for DLC always existed though and could be good on paper. It eventually got around to it.
I'm not sure how digitally preordering a videogame brings anything to the table for the consumer.
I know this has happened a couple of times in the past; it just never seems less ridiculous.

Lol okay Grandpa. This has been around for years. Digital preordering sometimes lets you preload or sometimes gives you a discount / special bonus. At it's worst it's a thing that excited but maybe naive people can do to show their support for a game or developer.

Oh, I didn't mean to connect those thoughts. What I meant is I think Switch is the best platform for any of the campaigns or the full TT version. (For reference, I've played through SK on Steam, 3DS, and Wii U.) It just looks great, the portability is great, and obviously opinions of the joy-con d-pad vary but I have found myself liking it a lot.

its on vita tho and its a 2d pixel game where performance isnt an issue, so the vita version is superior due to better buttons and one of the best dpads in history

DoctorWhat

A little privacy, please?
the vita does have an extremely good dpad, it's true, but its oddball resolution scales poorly with the 240p resolution of Shovel Knight.

3DS is best platform for Shovel Knight because it runs at native res.
