Also ice cap zones kick rear end track has to be replaced since its just the Jetzons song "Hard Times" and the replacement sucks.

wouldn't be surprised if some of the missing heavy hitters like Sonic 3 and SegaCD games are released as separate DLC intermittently or as rights are acquired. i'd pay for a Snatcher DLC.

I didn't know that. I'm sure I remember the original being there on the Wii version but that's like ten years old now.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

It's probably the best game on the genesis and has been released on tons of platforms since the original. I think it'll be fine, license- and sales-wise.

The real telltale sign is that Sonic and Knuckles ain't on there. It's almost certainly a cash-grab type thing, because frankly Sonic 3 + K is still worth $15-20 on its own

For it to be a cash grab they'd actually have to announce a port of it at some point.

I'm pretty sure the Steam version is just the original ROM file as well.

They changed it for the Windows 95 version back in the day, when they changed some songs completely while doing the MIDI versions for PC hardware. I don't think they ever applied this to the Genesis version, though.

I've mentioned this before, but the various Sega retro collections are all done by different wings of the corporate empire that don't seem to read each other's memos. So the Switch collection will likely be completely different from this UI-wise.

It certainly won't have that awesome built-in support for fan-made ROM Hacks, at any rate. What a crazy thing to include in an official retro collection!

it might be stupid but I really don't feel like buying that collection on Switch if it leaves out Sonic 3 + Knuckles. Why the gently caress would you leave out one of the best Genesis games? I guess it's just being saved for a separate Sega AGES release?

Yeah it's like the Super Mario World of the series. Some of the best level design of the entire 2d series. People knock points off because it's look is unoriginal.

They added new characters to make it easier to play for kids, and a new hard mode campaign called Super Luigi U for people who want a challenge, other than that it's the same mechanics with new levels.

The one unique thing NSMBU did was add an option for a fifth player to mess around on the touchscreen and place extra coin blocks to help the other players are going through the level, but I'm pretty sure they're taking that out of the switch port. I can't think of how they'd make it work when you can't use the tv and touchscreen at the same time and I have never heard of anybody actually trying to be helpful with this feature instead of treating it like a real-time kaizo level maker

It's a good game but if you're like me you'll get about halfway through it and say to yourself "That was fun I think I'll play something else now"

Which is fine, I put in 30-40 hours. I'm satisfied.

That's because the PC version released in 2010 and got a facelift with the modding update, while the Genesis classics were released after the Hard Times bassline was found. There has been no rerelease of Sonic 3 on any platform since.

If you like oldschool jrpg combat you're off to a good start. As for the storytelling... I like the way it's structured? The minimal party interaction is a bit of a downer. The sidequests are generally pretty rewarding, and not just for loot. I'd give it a Good/Whatever. I never did finish the story for everybody, but I did have a good time with it.

edit: Getting really into the combat for a jrpg can carry you far. I beat Xenoblade 2's NG+ :shepface:

NG+ is kind of breezy though, since your already have a lot of blade missions done, and remember exactly where to go and can skip long cutscenes.

Good combat, especially the bosses. Kind of lame story. Goes on too long and the final dungeon really sucks. Definitely a B-tier RPG, there are better choices out there but it could scratch the itch if it's what you really want to play.

And I love super long RPGs as long as the story and characters hold up for the length. Octopath wears out its welcome at about hour 50 and keeps on going.

Well yeah, but generally speaking if you're dedicated enough to do the NG+, you're probably also dedicated enough to like... grind endgame bosses for legendary cores to complete your blade collection.

Also I didn't skip the cutscenes. Glad I didn't either, there's a lot of neat little details you'll miss the first time around.

edit: It's almost impossible to properly tune XB2 NG+'s difficulty, even intentionally using unleveled blades and crappy gear while restricting your driver level you're still gonna steamroll everything

That's pretty much my take on it too. I had a lot of fun with it but it's definitely a flawed product.

Apparently many of the devs involved were relatively new so I'm excited for a potential sequel.

Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything in that kind of throwback RPG style on the switch worth playing over Octopath? Like indie stuff along the vein of Setsuna?

I also have the last 3 Mario and Luigi games on my 3ds that I've never played so I might get into that instead. But I like the pseudo 16 bit look a lot.

In terms of stuff actually on the Switch, Octopath is pretty good especially if you like the 16-bit style. The battle system is especially great.

It's not without its flaws of course, but people wouldn't put 50 hours into a game they genuinely didn't like. You'll definitely get your mileage out of it.

Yes. It’s easily the best of the NSMB games. The level design is really tight and designed for speed running.
