The combat gameplay just seems extremely punishing and I think if you lose 1 or 2 key party members you're just hosed. I never finished it because I just got dealt some bad hands.

SonicMania is incredible. It's basically as good as people say the old Sonic games are. Finally, an actual quality game for the Blue Hedgehog again. I can't believe Sega let Sonic Team work on the series for so long.

Still no real details but we've got the very tiniest hint of a UI for the online thing, and they didn't fix the scrolling display of the SMB3 rom. https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/1028959372712587264

I just imagine this whole Switch Online service being a huge clusterfuck that kills Splatoon 2, and Mario Kart online. I just can't imagine why Switch users would want to pay for this, so i'm trying to get as much time in on Splatoon 2 as I can before it's dead.

The scrolling display thing in SMB3 isn't a bug to be fixed; a lot of NES games allowed garbage and/or empty space on the edges of the screen because CRT television overscan would crop it out, so it didn't matter. Now on a modern display you see the whole buffalo. It's accurate to the original hardware and software, even if your old TV hid it.

Yeah why would I want to pay less than $2/month to keep playing the awesome game I get the most fun out of? I should instead throw my $60 game in the toilet and have less fun but one more crack at the value menu at shoneys

"Online only" being a thing for what is essentially PS Plus Junior would go down like a lead zeppelin much like XBone's catastrophic "needs to be online at all times" mandate loving murdering them at E3. But I agree that the online plan will potentially gently caress over the online community if only because the perks---loving NES games---are just not strong enough. NES is the lowest bar imaginable; SNES is at least of a high enough quality to get people on board.

SeANMcBAY posted:They’re also selling just the game for $29. I know I'm in the minority and one's not expected to like everything but Undertale always felt forced to me. Everything that's offbeat about the Mother series is very sincere and genuine while Undertale just felt like it was trying to be clever. That and I hated the battle system, bullethell is one of my least favorite things to do, so that was a slog to get through. It's not a bad game but I just found it to be a bit of a waste of my time. I feel like I missed something though and should replay it to see what that was. I feel the same way about Infinite Jest, it didn't do too much for me and it was way too long for me to want to re-read it to find out what it was I missed. So I guess I'll never find out. But as they say 100 million internet people can't be wrong, so probably worth your time getting it.

Takoluka posted:Cloud saves? This one is frustrating because they could render the need for it moot by just letting you put your save on an sdcard and back it up yourself. Paywalling multiplayer mid-generation is risky as hell and the sweeteners - fulfilling an artificial need for cloud saves and a bunch of loving NES games - are not sweet enough for them to pull it off, IMO.

The biggest problem with Undertale is that it is only a couple of hours long. Even if you get the true ending and do that extra quest. The game needed an extra two hours at least. Xad posted:Sonic Team worked on Mania, and it was their idea/resources that helped it be a game longer than four levels. It says it was developed by PagodaWest Games and Headcannon. I wouldn't be surprised if Sonic Team helped but I doubt they were the main people doing the level design and physics. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Aug 13, 2018 |

Luncheon is fine, although the vast expanses of purple goop do give it a weird empty feeling. I felt the same way about Tostarena though.

Jump rope was hard until I learned to pay attention to the audio cues and not the animation of the character and also play the game in handheld mode to remove input lag.

When I think of playing classic NES games online, I picture taking turns playing Super Mario Bros. 3 with a complete stranger. It might as well just let the computer play a level for me and tell me I'm playing "online".
