I played Okami for the Wii right before Twilight Princess and I could barely stomach Twilight Princess as a result. Going from a game with much better presentation that was designed around being a wolf to a game with wolf gameplay shoddily shoehorned in was kind of rough.

I’m just curious of Okami has aged well. I didnt play it originally. I remember replaying OOT recently and found it to be too dated. People compare Okami to Twilight Princess, but I havent played that either. Problem is I just finished botw and playing Okami after that, might be anti climatic since its very zelda ish. I like the art style and the japanese folklore poo poo though.

Okami is still good it just has the same problems it had when it came out, namely

Its padded as hell to be 10 hours too long
Combat does not live up to the clover pedigree
And the dialog goes on and on

Issun starts off pretty bad but halfway through the first story arc he stops giving a poo poo about being a tutorial fairy and becomes a actual character. Also the plot is super good and it's only sin is that it does a lot of metal gear tier "Shocking revelation!" "Shocking Revelation?!" back and forth.

Years later I still cried at the ending it's very cool.

Started into Overcooked 2 last night with 4 player couch co-op, seems pretty solid all things considered. I have the original on PS4, and the switch version does seem noticeably less smooth, and the controller inputs definitely can get laggy at times (something I never noticed on PS4). All and all though, I have way more friends I am likely to play online with on Switch than PS4, so the switch version was the way to go.

And jesus the first bonus level Kevin 1 is hard as hell with only 2 players. My wife and I were starting a second 2-player run late last night, and were doubling or tripling every 3 star point requirement in the first world (which is painfully easy). But god drat we threw ourselves at Kevin 1 about 10 times and best was getting within 5 points of the 3 star req.

Glad to be getting our cook on again :chef:

It's been a long time since I beat Pokemon Red so I looked up the solution to that "puzzle", it was just completely random which trash can button you need to find to proceed.

So if that picture is real: they've turned an easy "puzzle" into a different easy "puzzle".

(Edit: The puzzle I'm referring to is the Vermilion City Gym where you had to find two randomly placed buttons in trash cans in order to fight the Gym Leader.)

Do you know if it's possible to create like a low level game with whatever amount of time you want? I've been trying to see what kind of modes and customization options they allow and no one has listed them, not even the website. I want to play with my friends but I hate in the first how you can only play in like 2 minute bursts and after the first couple missions, it's just craziness. I like the mechanics but don't wanna work too hard.

N++. Tetris with split joycons (it works surprisingly well). Any games with split joycons (probably works less well).

My thinking is this will cause a revival of interest in old titles, in a way that the VC hasn't been able to renew interest in games before. If I can crank out a game of SMB3 with a good internet friend, I'll play it loads

Netplay with the Dolphin emulator works leaps and bounds better for the Wii/GCN Smash games than the official online play in Smash for Wii U. :shrug:

In the original games the trashcan is a "puzzle" where you have to find the two correct trashcans that have switches to open the door. There being two different coloured cans suggests that the switches are in those two, so you don't have to check every can to find the switches any more. This is making Very Serious Pokemon people angry.

They're dumbing down Red/Blue in the Let's Go games to hilarious degrees. Latest is just them getting the chance to redo a dumb puzzle and instead of making it interesting they just got rid of it entirely.

(Originally in the gameboy version there were rows of trash cans. There was no real hint to which ones you needed to click and they shuffled if you got them wrong. You had to get 2 right in a row to fight the boss.
Instead of giving them a subtle visual tell or something like that the answer is to apparently paint them neon and get rid of it entirely.)

It's one of those things where if you're excited for the games that's honestly fine and cool and I hope you enjoy it, but I do genuinely wonder why they're dumbing it down this hard. I don't really buy the "it's for the kids" excuse when I had to do all this stuff as a kid when it first came out and I didn't have trouble.

The fun part of the Lt. Surge puzzle is that when you find the first switch, the second was always right next to it. And I didn't know that for years.

The Lt. Surge puzzle was the kind of rubbish nonsense puzzle you put into your first RPG maker project. It’s random guesswork which uses nonsense assets (switches in bins, really?).

The lines of bins in the modern graphics make it look even more stupid.

:eng101: In the original games, this isn't true! The puzzle is buggy as hell and sometimes the second switch is in the top-left can regardless of where the first is, and in Yellow, very rarely there's no second switch at all.

It’s a silly change.

The original puzzle was dumb but the can was always adjacent so you had a 1 in 4 chance.

E: I didn’t know that about the bugs, I learned something today :aaa: it’s still dumb that they didn’t bother to replace it with anything else and it’s just another trademark sign of the care and :effort: thrown into this game
