I was going to say why would they bother bringing that to Switch when Shenmue 3 is PC/PS4 exclusive but apparently the Western release of Shenmue 1&2 HD is PC/PS4/Xbone lol

That's a shame. I say this sincerely, as a huge fan; the amount of meandering time-wasting poo poo in those games would have been ideal for a handheld console.

Isn't Sega ages their current mobile label :whitewater:

e: ah, no, that's Forever. Still looking forward to the sonic port somehow not being either the whitehead or M2 versions, same for the latter and the other ports
e2: and obviously they can't just c/p the 3D Classics onto the switch, but port/compilation quality going wildly up and down has always bugged me

Personally I'm in the "If you want to make a proper upgraded port cool, but if you're just going to slap the rom onto an emulator and sell it...that's cool too" camp

I mean this is the switch thread, it's not like most people here haven't been saying "VC when" for a year and a month already

at least sega seems to know that providing the originals regardless of if they are/aren't in the process of making fully console-specific ports is a good move

I played the phone version of Skies of Fury and the controls were garbage, but the game was really fun despite that. Looks like the controls are good on Switch, so this will be on my list of things to get. Probably next game will be either this or Rogue Aces. I'm gonna see what Giant Bomb thinks of Rogue Aces on Sunday before making a decision.

4 is pretty great, 5 is alright, 6 is the most awful trash, 7 is somehow worse in its own unique way and 8 does some stuff well and isn't bad as those but highs don't really make up for the lows.

The first time I played X6, I selected a stage at random and played through until I found a hidden Dr. Light capsule off the beaten path. I got some upgrade and was like hey cool. Then I realized I didn't have the ability required to leave the hidden area and had to commit suicide in a pit to get out.

I've only played a little bit of X4 but I liked it. General opinion is that it's good. Never played 5-8 but they're supposed to be trash.

If Policenaut's theory of Sega sitting on complete Shenmue HD ports is correct, I can see them not realizing they wouldn't have needed to port them to a Nintendo console five years ago. They might be scrambling to get a Switch port going.

Part of my brain forgets that these games are nearly twenty years old and can't wrap my head around the possibility of Switch being able to handle the awesome power of the Dreamcast.

There have been reports/leaks/rumors for years now that Sega's been "sitting on" the Shenmue HD remakes for some time.

http://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/01/13/shenmue-hd-shenmue-iii-pushed-back/

Maybe they'll come to Switch later? Sega of America/Europe was pretty forthcoming in saying that they were for PC/PS4/Xbox One on top of the big emotional debut with the Sega of Europe guy crying while cosplaying as Ryo for the announcement and I figure if they were immediately Switch-bound then they would have just announced it today. If they're coming I'd bet they're definitely one of those "early next year randomly pops up during a Nindies direct" announcements. They announced a big Switch thing at this same festival, so it's not like they're being coy about Switch support.

i'm playing kirby star allies and i'm realizing that kirby is lowkey the most batshit franchise.

not like lore wise, but that's crazy too. i mean the games. i never really see people try to do in depth analysis of a kirby game and it's gameplay mechanics. i just typed "Kirby analysis" into youtube and nothing came up.

and that's a shame, because kirby is nuts. it's like dozens of ideas being thrown at the wall constantly with no regard for "principles". it's like straight up hedonism design wise.

The Kirby series has taken to the eshop pretty well, with robobot minigames acting as demos for more full fledged eshop games.
HAL did a bunch of kirby spinoffs early in the franchise when it realized it had a hit, but was too cash strapped for more full games.
Kirby star stacker, pinball, golf.

The mario series has been around so long and is so big spinoffs just kinda naturally congeal over time.

Kirby is small enough that its spinoffs stand out.
