There's a difference between hating the fact that a game is available for a certain console and not getting excited in the slightest. Especially when they'll likely charge $30 like they did for Cave Story.

I would assume that MK9 would sell much better than a MK8D DLC for just the Switch.

But yes, make more DLC packs. I'd much rather have the whole package so you can play one game and have access to all tracks. The core mechanics of the game is fine, and I think people would expect major changes for a 9th installment in the series.

If they made DLC packs that gave you all the tracks from previous games, I would give them all the money.


It's an okay game (or was in 2010, at least) but I wish Edmund McMillen would get over his weird catholic guilt and stop manifesting it in making the same game over and over
I haven't actually played it since 2010 though so I haven't heard this new, apparently terrible soundtrack.

I wouldn't really see this as the big ":supaburn: VIRTUAL CONSOLE GAMECUBE GAMES ON SWITCH :supaburn:" thing some people are hoping for, rather it's just general ports of old titles that were on the Gamecube. Sonic Adventure DX was also rereleased on X360 some years back.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

If Capcom releases remakes of BoF 1&2 for the Switch I'd (probably) buy them.

The Bloop posted:

IIRC it's one of the few (only?) Lynel enemies in the game who will happily attack you immediately even if you don't have a weapon drawn. Most of them just kinda :catstare: unless you draw a weapon or do something stupid like run right at them.

Climbing on their backs and trying to tame them pisses them right the gently caress off as well.

Incidentally, if I bring an unholy horror or ancient Forest God to the Stables, I expect them to loving stable it. Claiming to be the best at what you do means you should be able to handle anything :colbert:.

Did Nicalis just refuse to cut him some cash for his soundtracks on new platforms or something? The OG Binding of Isaac had a Danny B soundtrack that they replaced with 90% crap and "wet ambient cave noise", too.

When was the last time ANY console had decent launch titles? 'Launch Window' has been abused so badly by developers it's become a punchline, at least for the Xbox.

Nintendo's pretty much cheating with sequels and ports from a poorly selling console with good games/games that were probably halfway through development before the Switch switch.

PS Vita launched with an Uncharted game, a Wipeout and a Hot Shots Golf game that were so good that they became the new standard for their franchises (they're just now replacing Hot Shots on PS4), the best new Lumines game since 2, a new Super StarDust game, portable definitive versions of Rayman Origins and Ultimate Marvel 3 (that was also feature definitive until the recent PC port), the best version of Virtua Tennis 4, and I really liked that Shinobido 2. Dreamcast had an insane lineup with stuff like Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Power Stone, NFL 2K, and House of the Dead 2. PS4 got by with definitive console versions of stuff like Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, NBA 2K, and Resogun is still a very good game.

Out of like the past 5 or 6 consoles I've bought I'd say the only one that didn't have a very good/decent launch lineup was Wii U.

it seems like they dropped the ball with getting people super excited about the Vita. I've even met some people who own Vita don't know they can use it for their PS4 in a Wii U-ish way both as a controller and as a remote unit or that it will at least try to work from anywhere, as opposed to being in the same crib as the Wii U- or am I tripping. Can Wii U attempt to use wifi to link up to a system at home while you're at work? It looks like it's very easily confused with the PSP.

Sony basically abandoned the Vita the second it looked like it wasn't doing well, kinda like if Nintendo hadn't been aggressive in dropping the 3DS price and other things when that had under performed, only worse.

Also nope the WiiU pad has to be within wireless distance from the console, you can use remote play with Vita anywhere there's an internet connection but you might not have much luck playing Bloodborne on it for instance, both due to latency and lack of buttons.

Anyone try out the Monster Hunter Double Cross demo from the japan eshop? It's super fun. The first two available hunts are easy enough but the third one handed me my rear end quite handily. It looks like an amazing fight though if I can survive more than 10 seconds.

One weird thing that i'm not sure was intentional or not: the menu and icon graphics look super pixelated, but the actual game itself looks perfectly fine in tv mode. Not sure whats up with that.

What killed the Vita hard was Sony thinking they could ride on "It plays some PS3 games, only portable! :pseudo:" in the mainstream market. The price point didn't help either compared to a 3DS (or hell, a PS3 eventually), nevermind for the 3G model, and it really only helped the PS3 get a bunch of medium-tier-studio's JRPG's that tried to sell either on the Vita first or in tandem with a PS3 version.

The Vita also required an expensive proprietary memory card that made the system more expensive than a Switch.

Pretty much this. He stated he no longer had a working relationship with Team Meat due to personal reasons, and that he had disagreements with the licensing to PSN. Both things seemed to make him decide to pull his music from each game.

I was surprised that there was no option to change language for the eshop, it seems to default to the regional language when it would make sense to check the language of the device.
