Then you play the mod Fall From Heaven 2 and it's infinite mod-mods and for a logass time I didn't need to buy another game. Too bad it doesn't run great on modern hardware. I would gladly pay actual money for a standalone version.

LTTP is an absolutely fantastic starter Zelda I think. It has aged like fine wine and gives you a really good overview of basically what the series is for the most part outside of BotW/TotK.

also if you are checking out the snes app, absolutely play super mario world, kirby superstar, donkey kong country 2, super metroid, earthbound, and if you are feeling spicy, super ghouls 'n ghosts

maybe give starfox, f-zero, super mario kart and pilotwings a try too but they're more of their time

If they were smart, they would have made the current Switch forwards compatible. Then they could've sold both and not had a problem.

Trip Report:
This thing makes the Switch go from a Gameboy Advance to a Game Gear. It's CHONKY and adds more weight than I was expecting.

The sticks (which have several different types you can swap out) are smooth as hell and the buttons are perfect. The four programmable buttons on the back are handy but not in the exact right place for me.

Moving the charge port up so you can comfortably charge n' play laying down is a godsend.

However, I don't like that it puts you in to a square grip when the last cradle I had put your wrists at a more comfortable angle. It's not a deal breaker for me but it might be for others.

Overall I friggin love it.

Lol, noooo. Then your new console's games are hamstrung by the albatross of having to target the existing Switch as the baseline spec. Which means no new fancy effects and game design because they might not work on the existing Switch otherwise.

It's even been an issue recently with Microsoft's mandate that games MUST be capable of running on the Series S because of Baldurs Gate 3. You don't get "genuine" Series X games, you just get Series S games with better graphics.

Capcom and people who worked on the MH series kept saying poo poo like "keep an eye on TGS for MH info" so that leaker was almost certainly someone just making poo poo up based on public info. Like, the lack of MH news at TGS was a surprise specifically because Capcom was acting like it had a big reveal planned and then... nothing but a "check out the anniversary next year!"

Mister Facetious posted:

Fatalis and the last update to MHW was in 2020 and MH Rise came out in 2021. Unless they decided to make the MH teams all work on Dragon's Dogma 2 there's no way the next Monster Hunter is 3-4 years away. Having those teams work on DD2 instead of a new mainline MH game would be a weird decision too because MH is much bigger than DD. MHW sold something like 16 million copies and Rise is 11-12 million while DD is something like 5-6 million including Dark Arisen and there's no way Capcom thinks DD2 is going to outperform their next MH game.

Unless you mean next gen as in the PS6 and XBox Whatever versions of the game since those consoles are probably 3-4 years out (if not more).

I mean next gen as in a Switch 2 version of whatever (new) monhun they stick on it, whether a sequel to rise/world, or a new one entirely. I wouldn't be surprised if World was ported in the first couple years, like generations ultimate was, but anything other than that or an hd version of Rise i don't see happening for at least the first three/four years of the new console.

if you want to move on from RPGs available on the snes app then Trials of Mana collection has Secret of Mana, and the FF Pixel remaster of FF 4/5/6 are definately playable and have some quality of life options built in.

all of the above recommendations are great, Links Awakening is available in the GB app and the remake is fantastic as well and very close to the OG game.

OoT and Majora's Mask are great but I don't know how playable they are without an n64 esque controller to use. I grew up playing hundreds of hours of goldeneye but hate playing it on joycons so ymmv

also Mario RPG remake is coming and looks fantastic

OoT and MM are mostly fine on joycons. The FPS aiming of the bow/slingshot/etc is a bit clumsier, but that is also the only issue I've had. Maybe the goron rolling controls in MM as well; they feel clumsy but I've also always sucked at that.

i fuckin love super ghouls 'n ghosts but it is hosed up and not just for its difficulty. it's stiff and the jumping is as much an enemy as any of the enemies are, and sometimes the game will just spawn things in such a way that you will get hit no matter what you do, or even worse you'll be forced to pick up the scythe or torch. it is very not for everyone, even for people who love games that will kick your rear end over and over.

i can get that, but with how many ancient ports there are i think its just fine to g+g to use different styles

it makes the game a lot more approachable while still saving the difficulty
