Unless the Switch version doesn't do this, please for the love of god do no buy the GTA Remasters.

A few missions in GTA3 have rain at night and yeah, it's awful. Also, I put 100s of hours into GTA3 back on the PS2 and I don't think I ever beat it. Playing it now and having so many missions be "go to this place and then have cars slam into until you get to a place on the map" shows me why. You can get screwed out of completing a mission because of physics so easily.

The fact that you can't see where you are going is bad enough, but honestly not even the only problem here, this Tweet makes it much clearer;

I know people were already gushing about Prime Remaster, but Jesus Christ this is the best looking Switch game I've ever played and it's not even close. It's actually blowing me away, in a way that reminds me of what I felt playing it on the Gamecube back in the day.

I mean it absolutely did look great on release. Set a bar most of the cubes games didn’t really live up to

my favourite video game Fun Fact is that Metroid Prime came out less then a month after GTA: Vice City. I know it's not super fair to compare, because getting open world games to work at all was pretty crazy back then, but still.

Apparently the Prime 1 Remaster wasn't just Retro, but co-devolved by Iron Galaxy Studios, whoever the hell they are.
Makes me wonder if Nintendo does want to do Echoes and Corruption Remasters, if they will take the lead on them because I can't imagine Retro still working on remasters and Prime 4 at the same time.

Why IS the FZero franchise locked up away in The Nintendo Dungeon anyway? Ive never actually heard a plausible explaination as to why there arent new games but Ive never havent ever looked into it. Do they just want to focus on Mario Kart as their flagship racing game or were the FZero games financial flops or...? I suppose if a new one is in the pipeline, we will absolutely never hear about it.

goes without saying itt, but Ive been thinking a lot lately about how modern Nintendo's always had this weird dichotomy between niche toy company and big rear end tech company and one of their bizarre trademarks is that, as a corporation, they seem to be absolutely madly in loooove with the idea of zero communication until literally the last possible moment and then springing poo poo on people, like what just happened with Metroid Prime. gotcha!!!! :confused:

To be perfectly honest, it probably has something to do with Mario Kart 8 being in the spotlight for the last like, almost decade now.
On the other hand, Dread and the Bayo games show Nintendo has no problems backing up more niche, “hardcore” games as well.

Metroid Prime had a level of detail and atmosphere completely unheard of in 2002 standards.
Hell, thinking about it and you would be hard pressed to find a modern shooter that could match Prime today in those categories.

Maybe you should have a wider understanding of FPS games you bigoted rear end in a top hat. It's not my job to educate you on the genre.

I could see Echoes getting a remaster made mostly by Iron Galaxy, with maybe a bit of support by Retro.
Hard to see Corruption getting one though, you would have to rebuild a lot of the core gameplay from scratch because of the whole "no Wiimote wagglin''' poo poo.

I mean there are plenty of missable scans. I forgot Flaagrah's tentacles were a separate scan so I'm screwed now but thankfully don't care much. I guess it's more irritating when it's a random respawning enemy who just stops respawning arbitrarily though

Something worse then Ice Sheikbats are Aqua Drones. They spawn in one room in Crashed Frigate, once you reach the other side of Crashed Frigate they never respawn again, and look and act exactly like regular security drones.

Magmoor Caverns and/or the Crashed Frigate should have a boss, yes. The Frigate is short but an underwater boss would be cool

At one point in time, Thardus was the boss of Magmoor Caverns, and Phendrana Drifts's boss was going to be that weird 4 armed beast in the bottom corner here. Wonder if that was supposed to be some Phazon mutated Sheegoth or something. Kraid was supposed to be in the mix as well.



edit: Now that I think of it, I think Kraid was the big boss of Phazon Mines and Omega Pirate was gonna be a miniboss, possibly instead of Cloaked Drone.

They've also already got Mario Kart. There's not really a demand for two first party racing games when the one you've got is selling 50m copies.

Eh, these are two games with completely different audiences in mind though. Mario Kart is whacky fun with a bit of try harding in Time Trials if you want it, F-Zero is 100% for try hards that gotta go fast all the time.

I heard the movie makes Luigi the damsel in distress (they were too afraid to show Mario being weak after what happened with all the Sonic comics). And I hope Luigi gets a decent movie of his own to make up for it.

To be honest, if Peach was the damsel it would have made no sense for Mario to be concerned about saving her, considering the main plot of this movie is them just arriving in Mushroom Kingdom and having no clue what's going on at all. Luigi being the one to save made the emotional connection much more obvious.

This makes me wonder if the inevitable sequel will have Bowser actually getting Peach right away, which could (hopefully) lead to the Bros. teaming up to save her because the best parts of the movie by far were the few times they actually were on screen together.

Was 3 the one where red mages were a bit unbalanced, as in being almost as good at both melee and black/white magic as more specialized classes?

Yeah but apparently they re balanced the Pixel Remasters a bit so stuff like that doesn't happen anymore. That being said it's still based on the orignal versions so Ninja/Sage and are still blatantly better then most other classes (except for Onion Knight if you are crazy enough to grind that out), but go back to being locked until right before the final dungeon.
