Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is a Zelda 2 which replaces the world map with a level select map.

Walla posted:I bought it last year and it seems pretty good. I stopped playing for some reason a few hours in but that happens a lot. At the start your just playing the admittedly slow and bad combat system, and I tap out there when I try to replay it. A little bit further in you get to the meat of the game, which is Spaceship Inventory Tetris to minmax stats. Which sounds terrible, but is incredibly compelling. By the end you have a nigh invincible fleet with unmissable shots that instantly launches a wall of death dealing fighters which also earns you massive amounts of money just by traveling between planets. The combat system just exists to facilitate kerb stomping the enemy at that point.

I don't really get how localizing Mother 3 a decade later makes particularly any less business sense than localizing, say, Famicom Detective club, which has voice acting.

How do you localise the Magypsies without them coming across as an offensive depiction of transwomen? I know they are well loved, strong and compassionate characters, but just imagine genpop seeing the designs and dialogue out of context.

Not to mention that the term "gypsy" is a slur in itself. Mother 3 is already very infamous among Nintendo fans and most who are interested in it enough have already gotten a hold of a fan translated and localized ROM. Otherwise games like Super Smash Bros (a series with Lucas in it) and Undertale/Deltarune (quirky/meta RPG) has already "filled the void" that could have been filled by an official Mother 3 release Zuzie fucked around with this message at 15:14 on May 7, 2022 |

In what way does smash bros fill a mother 3-shaped void If the answer is just "Lucas is in it" then I'll pull this face >=-/

Sudden Javelin posted:In what way does smash bros fill a mother 3-shaped void Smash Bros has a tendency to spoil a lot of plot points for a ton of different games. Secret identities, who ends up being killed off, who ends up surviving, stuff like that. Mother 3 is no exception despite most people not being able to play it officially. But yeah, Lucas also being in it is also an answer. >=-/

I couldn’t name another character other than Lucas, unless the cast of Earthbound is in Mother 3, which again I do not know from playing Smash Bros

It's not just a reference to Roma people, but also famous burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee The official Nintendo translation would have come up with something else with much less thought put into it, but they probably wouldn't accidentally put a racial slur in

i got a swoled off an open box deal for ten percent off and my thots: 1) it's very slightly more annoying to reliably get it in the dock, not sure if it's just this one but i've been having it have to be jiggled a bit far more often than the normal switch 2) hollow knight looks so so so so so good on an OLED screen

undertale and deltarune are great but I don't really think they even remotely fill the Mother 3 niche LISA does though

It has enough space to wiggle it forward or back a tiny bit, so the opening is wide enough. I think my original model switch was the same.

Earthbound needs to be remastered with claymation and old TV distortion/FX, especially when you get PSI'd

Oh that reminds me, the Super Mario Bros series also had a contentious second game. So much so that it wasn't released outside of Japan and they had to doll up a completely different game to be Super Mario Bros 2.

Hell, that's a style that just needs to make a return. Hylics 2 is the only recent claymation game I can think of.

The Japanese Mario 2 (which we more commonly know as “The Lost Levels”) was basically the original again only insanely difficult and with a bunch of new bonus worlds following 8-4 The west got the better deal honestly Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:54 on May 7, 2022 |

Yes, especially Earthbound NES because it's a little rough around the edges by modern standards, but is really cool otherwise Of course, there's already a great demo for how this could work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OGSXeko-iY

Even if an Earthbound remake used the engine from the Link's Awakening remake it would be loving rad.
