It blows my loving old man's mind that the gf and I can play Minecraft with her sister and brother-in-law on three different platforms.

Years ago, before Warcraft 3 becomes another RTS they previewed a version of the game where you played as an individual hero guiding an army in a great battle. The camera was fixed 3rd person and you raced around the battlefield putting out fires and challenging enemy heroes where needed. They ultimately scrapped that approach.

I remember that. I was so excited for that kind of Warcraft game. :(

Spellforce 3 is pretty good at least. Though gently caress that first orc RTS level because CPU cheats like crazy on it.

Another nice thing about the Switch is that if you're playing during a rainstorm and the power flickers, you won't lose your progress because the Switch just swaps to handheld mode while the power turns back on.

This happened to me last night. Power went out and I just picked the switch out from the dock and continued playing.

Finally got my hands on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary collection. Man... the game is literally unplayable with the joy cons. I just cannot pull off button combinations with the non d-pad buttons. Yet to try with the pro controller, but it’s not good so far

Use the sticks and consider investing in other controllers if you want to play somewhat seriously. The pro isn’t ideal either.

Switch gets Lost Odyssey and maybe others like Blue Dragon, Xbox gets to have Samus in the next Halo game. Seems like a fair trade.

That's funny, to me it was the successor to Mario 64/Sunshine that I was hoping it would be :v:

It's such an amazing game though.

Mario 64 to me has aged pretty poorly. I still enjoy it cause it's pretty nostalgic, but if they just rebuilt the whole game using the Odyssey engine and moveset, I'd eat that poo poo up in a heartbeat. Same with Sunshine

I just got to Ancient Basin and I'm starting to feel fatigue from playing this game in terms of all the backtracking and traveling, and the distance between benches and bosses. I don't want to take a break from the game, either, because I feel like I'll forget all the places that I know I need to backtrack to once I get the upgrade I obviously need. The game is really great and more than I could ask for for its price. I just wish you could buy something that lets you instantly travel to shops or something. The cool thing about Super Metroid and Dark Souls is that I know I don't need to tediously travel back somewhere.

This was probably my one and only gripe about the game -- the gigantic map and Metroidvania nature of progression leads to an unprecedented amount of backtracking/revisiting unless you luck out and happen to visit the right sequence of areas by chance.

If you aren't interested in a lightly-spoilered progression guide (google that,) the best thing you can do is use your map markers. Come up with your own color code (e.g. blue dots for dead ends to revisit, gray dots for curiously-rattling floors, etc.) That way, you'll know which areas to revisit once you get an applicable movement ability.

They're old games :shobon: Mario 64 in particular has the problem every early 3D game has, which is the camera. A remake would be an instant-buy though.

The camera is a big reason why I'm so happy about Odyssey. I couldn't play Mario Galaxy 1/2 because my brain is bad and the upside-down/local gravity stuff made me queasy, and also the entire reason I liked 3D Mario in the first place was the expansive levels. So I skipped Galaxy 1/2 after Sunshine and Mario 3D World was a fantastic game but it wasn't a 3D Mario game. It was a 2D Mario game in 3D. :v:

Yup. I love SF but those arcade ports were built with arcade sticks in mind and feel wrong with even controllers with good dpads. BBTag and DBFZ was built with controllers in mind as well so they’ll control better with them.

I like Tennis so far, but drat it needs a Retry option when you beef it on a challenge. Loading back into the world map and having to click through a bunch of dialog to then load back into the stage is irritating. I don't get how something like that survives any amount of testing.

you can't even remap controls either so if you don't use a stick then the games are pretty much unplayable with is loving awful. I traded mine in as well for BBTag. I wish Capcom gave the portwork to someone who would give more than one iota of a poo poo in terms of accessibility or support

or just the updated console versions of the games so we got the great Alpha 3 ultra edition, or editions of the games WITHOUT the initial arcade poo poo that would get patched and changed. The fighting game part of Capcom has curiously been on the complete opposite trajectory as literally the rest of their IPs.
