Waffle! posted:You remember that Star Fox racing game that was rumoured two years ago? The one that fans have been all butt frustrated about because there hasn't been any updates on it? It's fake. That's what they want us to think so they can double psyche us with a direct about next month, obvi. I feel the Star Fox series has a lot of potential and continually falls flat on its face. Give me like a Shadows of the Empire in 2020 version of Star Fox, please.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Oh my god, Chrono Trigger DS is legit one of the best games I've ever played. I'm not into JRPGs at all, like pretty much every single one I've tried, I've bounced off. They need to port it to Switch so I can keep giving Square money for the same game over and over.

RandomFerret posted:I'm just sitting here thinking about how easy it would be to make a HD port of Megaman Legends. The flat cartoony textures would be such a quick job to upscale. There's even a PC port already available to base the code on. Boy would it ever be nice if somebody did that. If they improve the camera and controls slightly I'd pay too much even if it were otherwise a straight port. I'd pay a stupid amount if they did a MML1/2 and Tron Bonne pack.

bowmore posted:they also announced that the metroid prime trilogy will be burger king exclusive Finally there's a reason for there to be 3 Burgers within on square mile of my house! Also is there a way for me to "git gud" at reflex based games at 29? I'm horrendous at like 90% of 2D platformers/metroidvania type games. I bought the legacy MegaMan collection and I'm getting absolutely stomped even with half cheating with the rewind button.

If any of you are interested in some pretty okay budget games you should check out Rainsdowne Players and Hero Hours Contract. They're both less than $5 and have at least a few hours of content to enjoy. Rainsdowne is like a weird rhythm/sim/adventure style game where you run a theatre. For the theater portion you pick your subjects and then have to dodge random objects being hurled at the stage. The other portion you wander around a small town to find more subject cards and get into general misadventures. That part plays more like an old SNES JRPG where you run around talking to pixel people and barge into homes and businesses without knocking. I haven't gotten too terribly far into Hero Hours Contract but you play as magical girls trying to form a labor union. The main game play is a simple Fire Emblem like strategy game. Then you also get to wander around and talk to people to learn things and gain power ups. If nothing else it's a nice shake up from the platformers and puzzle games that usually occupy the $5 and under slot. They're both made by a man named Steve O'Gorman and unless mildly leftist sensibilities bother you (which is fair if they do, your business) I think they're solid games. If you're mildly interested but don't want to even drop that level of cash you can wishlist them. Rainsdowne has gone on deep sale at least a couple of times and so I wouldn't be surprised if Heroes Hours did as well in the future. Also if the seems to ad like or whatever let me know and I'll nuke the post. But I just genuinely enjoyed the games and wanted to plug them. Bye!

Why are people in such a hurry to give Nintendo another $300+ dollars for essentially the same system? I mean the Lite at least filled a niche. Now they're just trying to get a few extra FPS and an inch or two of screen. I hated how many weird variations of the DS/3DS their were.

yellowyams posted:i haven't played hhc yet, is the town exploration as substantial as in rainsdowne? because that was definitely the main thing i enjoyed rather than the theater minigames. Haven't played enough to say. Though you do have a limit of social interactions between each mission which seems to tie into the boosts you get from your labor dispute.

The timeline of DS is wild. My memory makes it seem like the DSi came out in like 2010 at the death of the original DS. But it came out in 08 and had an XL companion a year later that I don't even remember.

American McGay posted:A 4K Switch makes no sense. A Switch Pro makes a lot of sense. Devs not named Nintendo are having a hell of a time putting out Switch games that run at 700p 30fps. You can only live off indie treasures for so long. I kind of get the appeal there but if they don't make every game at least playable undocked then there's going to be issues and so that makes me wonder what the max power we can really put on docked games is. I guess a lot of these Switch games are good at scaling, but we will see.

American McGay posted:I don't think anyone is asking them to occupy the same space. But personally it would be nice to play Witcher 3 on a Switch without having it look like absolute garbage. They're always 1 or 2 steps behind graphically, but they're very soon about to be 4 steps behind. They did come in at a wild time, to be sure. But I don't know if a full step up is feasible without them getting into another gen as well. What would be neat is if we could get an add-on to the Switch itself for like $150 or something. Like the N64 expansion pack. But I feel like that would be its own cluster.

KingSlime posted:Sell your old console, man!! You don't need every generation of GBA + modded ones with IPS screens on permanent display. I'm still dropping 150-200 easy. The resell value will sink if something that big comes out probably. I'm not against the existence of a Switch Pro I just worry about the implications for the other versions, especially the Lite which can't dock at all. I'd probably buy a Pro and give the Switch to my sticky handed stepkids.

quote:Same. Though I still think that the limited battery life is a good thing for my playing time. It presents me with a good hard limit to respect. Though I've noticed that Dragon's Dogma eats that battery like nothing else has in ages. FF VII-IX would let me play for hours without issue. Oh yeah, more than any other mobile I've used you can clearly tell which games suck your battery to death and which don't. I probably get like a minute and a half per percent playing Skyrim or Assassin's Creed vs. like 5+ hours if I play Collection of Mana or simpler indie games.

Spacebump posted:My normal model PS4 can't run the latest Assassins Creed game at a playable frame rate. Having upgrades on a console sucks. One model is better because of situations like that. It's definitely going to be developer dependent, to be sure. Like I could trust them doing some Witcher 3 bump ups or putting like 25% more power into BoTW2 without shafting the mobile players. But then I can also see Ubisoft putting like Far Cry 4 and 3 on the Switch Pro and having it melt someone's Switch Lite.

American McGay posted:Retro packs suck because they're the exact reason the NES/SNES Online lineups are trash. I don't entirely disagree. But there are still a ton of games not in those line ups that I feel Nintendo could be offering that they don't. Idk. Maybe I'm a didiot. Like why isn't Earthbound on there? Isn't that entirely Nintendo's baby? Where's Mario learns Number and Letters?!

It feels like if they wanted to let it go they'd quit putting them on the Smash series. Instead it's just a dumb reminder to us about a series just enough people want. I feel like they could get Harvest Moon, SimCity 2000 and SimEarth if they really wanted to: for example. Idk. You telling me Blizzard's really holding tight to that Blackthorn claim? Or is that 2 mature 4 kids? Idk. Zurtilik fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Aug 29, 2020 |

Quote posted:A game called "Earthworms" is on sale for a penny. It's a point-and-click adventure game. I can't tell if the dialogue is poorly translated or deliberately obtuse, but it really has an eccentric charm to it. There's an undercurrent of horror under the watercolor veneer. Worth a penny, imo. This is why I like the weird yard sale indie games that happen on occasion. You find a neat little weird title amongst the shovelware. I'll check it out!

ThatWhiteGuy posted:The latest Mario 35th anniversary leak is “the Mario games are totally real and still coming out but they’re being pushed back.” I usually don’t follow video game leaks because they’re lame, and this is just more confirmation that they are lame (and almost always not true). I feel like this Mario one has been going the entire year now. Good lord. At least there's some basis in reality for the Metroid Prime speculation, to my understanding. They haven't even said they're doing anything for Mario. It's not like Nintendo was like. Woo boy! Big Mario announcement this year guys! My most optimistic but still unlikely scenario is a bunch of Mario Switch games go on sale for $35. More than likely if there is a sale it'll be 35% instead, ehehehe.

You also genuinely don't need them anymore. They used to be the place to put your backstory and controls. By the time we got to PS2 era games you were able to put most of that into the game without an issue. Don't get me wrong, I like them for the flavor. But they are kind of an excessive item at this point. And the last couple gens have been mostly black and white 5 page manuals that tell you about seizures and how to start the game. I also miss strategy guides but they're mostly extinct too between websites posting guides and the fact most games have tracking and mission markers now.
