Konami doesn't own Ogre Battle 64. They did add one Gameboy Castlevania games to the app late last year.
Don't forget "The Sweep Man", Nichi.
It's still Genesis. Genesis needs way more games per update to be as good as the rest. Just the few GBA games we got trounce that library.
I forget Genesis on NSO is a thing tbh. Think I've opened it maybe once.
Genesis is likely harder due to third-party licenses and stuff
Best memory of playing Gunstar back on Wii (never played on Genesis) was when me and my friend made it to that triple changer Megatron gun boss.
Worse, personally. GP Legend has way more content and controls better by trying to be a 2D version of X, rather than following up SNES on different hardware. GPL's much less challenging, but I don't mind cause it's just more fun to play, and has way more character to it thanks to the Story Mode. MV has better track gimmicks though, I'd still say it's probably worth checking out, but it's definitely a weird entry in the series.
Thanks a lot, will try and play
I love F-Zero 99. I spend a lot of time on it. It's brilliant. I'm not neglecting for a moment the excellent work of NST.
I prefer GP Legend over Maximum Velocity myself
)
I think it's much better. In a lot of ways Maximum Velocity is "F-Zero (SNES) 2", in other words what if F-Zero had a 2D sequel before F-Zero X. It controls differently than any other game in the series, but once you get the hang of it it's very rewarding and some of the fastest times have crazy bouncing and drifting. You can think of it as the GX to F-Zero's X.
Aren't we all out of ALL games announced for NSO? We need a new roadmap for EVERY platform.
They haven’t released The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls on the Japanese Game Boy NSO yet, so there’s still one more NSO update left before we’re truly out of announced games.Aren't we all out of ALL games announced for NSO? We need a new roadmap for EVERY platform.
Or at least a big drop with one or two games for each console to assure people that they're still adding stuff and to stay subscribed.
Japan still has For the Frog the Bell Tolls for Gameboy, but there's nothing announced left for the other systems (and Gameboy outside of Japan,) yeah.Aren't we all out of ALL games announced for NSO? We need a new roadmap for EVERY platform.

From the release of DLC, to new NSO games, to refreshing NSO icons, Nintendo has moved to a 1AM (UTC) release times for a lot of things. Between this and full games being mostly midnight local time Thursday, rather than Friday, Nintendo has weirdly reorganised their release time/dates. I wonder what for. Simplification?
Probably just a test run for the scheduling they plan for the next system. They are experimenting with pretty tiny rollouts for a lot of minor but experimental features.
This is an early GBA game, so you need to play on original hardware (not GBA SP or DS) or with a proper emulator filter to see how it actually looks. Metroid Fusion also looks ugly if you play on the incorrect hardware, Area 6 is full of neon purple for no reason. Not a problem with the game.Saying this in a conversation about Maximum Velocity is really funny to me.
Nah, I've played it on NSO and the filter there is great. I just think it's machines and tracks look uglier than GP Legend's character portraits, which are in line with the anime's style, and GPL has better looking tracks and machines. Both of these are outclassed by Climax's looks though, they got Imamura to do character art like F-Zero X! It's great. Has some gorgeous skies too, I love how Mute City looks in Climax.This is an early GBA game, so you need to play on original hardware (not GBA SP or DS) or with a proper emulator filter to see how it actually looks.

But fwiw the ugly part of GP Legend is the anime character designs.
Again the game is meant to be seen with completely different brightness, so it will look bad if you play it in a way it was not intended to be played. I like Climax and I'd definitely go to it over GP Legend, it feels closer to a real game. At the end of the day I'd rather play X or GX if I want that style of F-Zero, though.
I think the color palette in MV is actually quite restrained. It’s definitely not as garish as Harmony of Dissonance or Fusion.
Yeah! It's very dark and moody.
GP Legend by far.
Just gonna make a correction, GP Legend story mode is just for 8 characters which are prominent in the anime. Ryu/Rick, Captain Falcon, Jody, Jack, Zoda, Black Shadow, Samurai Goroh and Lisa.
If you're talking about slipping around when taking corners, yes. While SNES/99 will usually just ask you to let go of accelerate to keep grip, Maximum Velocity will ask you to mash the acceleration around corners. It was actually in SNES, and usually better than completely letting go, but here it's straight up mandatory.
This was a complete loss of acceleration and ability to turn at all, so I think it was my joycons.
Just need to finish.
Mash the acceleration button
Blast turns (mashing acceleration) are super important, but it's also worth noting that outside turns (holding the strafe/lean button opposite of which way you're trying to turn) are more effective in this game than SNES and 99. It usually helps some vehicles with poor turning quite a bit in the 3 GBA games.
