Thankfully, for those of us with hacked Switches, there’s a blur removal patch out, just like with Link’s Awakening. It looks so much better without that ugly smear across the bottom of the screen.
I thought it was cool that they finally explained how both of these are Zoras:
CANNON BANNED
I’d hesitate to call the pixel remasters definitive (aside from III), since the extra content from the GBA releases isn’t there.
I’ve been stuck on the DLC for a long time now, not because of difficulty, but because I just don’t find it very interesting. Hoping to force my way through it one of these days.
Does that mean this was actually posted last Friday?
I got it for free in 2021 when they were doing the Play at Home initiative. Unfortunately, I’ve never liked it. I hate having to be sneaky and use ranged for combat. I just wanna run up and hit stuff with my stick.
Not air conditioning, silly, Animal Crossing!
I’m a filthy pirate and played it for a few hours last weekend. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy having to summon things to fight rather than just whacking enemies with a sword, but it works surprisingly well! I think anyone who wasn’t too put-off by the performance issues with Link’s Awakening will like this one.
Good, I’m glad you liked it! I may try it sometime in the future when Ubisoft does their usual deep discount.
Yes, and “bypasses.”
I was a prime demographic for Star Wars Outlaws, as I like Star Wars and the more recent RPG style Assassin’s Creeds. I chose to skip it after the initial impressions, and I’m glad I did. Nice to see that enough other people did the same to make a difference. I’m down for more of the same with a Japanese skin, so hopefully they won’t manage to mess this one up to the point that I won’t enjoy it.
The mod who bypass’ the PSN login for God of War Ragnarök got removed on Nexus Mods
That poor mod - they generously offer to go to peoples’ houses to bypass the PSN login and then get removed from the website! That’s some gratitude!
Agreed, it’s a horrendous scam. Thanks, Microsoft!
But you can’t really blame console companies for doing it, because people pay for it. Almost free money for them.
The exception would be those people who are able to actually play all or most of the subscription games on the service. I can see it being a good value in that case.
I’ve read a lot of complaints about performance, but I’m not very sensitive to such things and haven’t had a problem with it. It seems about the same as the Link’s Awakening remake.
Mostly alternating between Echoes of Wisdom and Extermination Day via GZDoom on my Switch. I’ve played Extermination Day through Brutal Doom before, but this is a regular Doom enemies and weapons playthrough. For you non-criminal scum who are looking forward to Echoes of Wisdom, you’ll be happy to hear that it’s good. It surprised me, because at first I wasn’t very interested when I read that Zelda would summon enemies to fight rather than attack directly, but it’s actually quite fun to choose from a variety of things to tackle a given situation.
Cosmo Gang the Puzzle was released here as Pac-Attack and the Dodgeball game is the SNES version of the NES game Super Dodgeball (would that make it Super Super Dodgeball here?). Big Run is a SNES port of the little-known arcade game.
Battletoads and Double Dragon has nothing to do with Double Dragon gameplay-wise, it’s just more Battletoads with Double Dragon characters.
They add what they can get the license to at a decent price. IP holders of the good stuff want to sell it separately.
They’re too lazy to modify the rom to use a controller instead of a mouse, like hackers have already done.
Note the blur at the bottom of the screen. It’s trying to emulate a tilt-shift effect, but since it’s just applied in a straight line across the bottom regardless of how close the objects are to the camera, it just looks ugly:
The 8-bit image I posted above is of a Zora in the original LoZ. They were also in ALttP:
But in OoT, the people called Zoras looked like the white guy to the right in my earlier post. In Echoes of Wisdom they finally have both kinds in the same game, and call them River and Sea Zoras:
