It's also only a $10 upgrade if you own the original, which is fair for what they're offering. Only people who have to pay full price are people who want a PS5 disc and/or never owned the game on PS4 and don't want to jump through hoops to do the upgrade route.
That's fair. I still take issue with it (again, a "remaster" only having a bump to 4K and Director's cut content should be called a "Director's Cut"), but at least there's a slight justification for people who already own the disc.
Yeah they did change almost nothing and sell the game for 60$ while Metroid Prime Remastered, a completely graphical overhaul from the original game gets sold for 40$. Something is wrong with Nintendo game prices lol.
Retooling the game to work with standard controls is not what I'd call "change almost nothing". It may not be a very exciting change for those of us who enjoyed the motion controls of the original, but it still took time/effort to do.
The control retooling was good and probably one of the few things that justified it as a remaster. Regardless it was a pretty bad remaster and even had a graphical bug with distant 2d objects. Also Retro did change the controls for Prime too. Which of them deserves more for a 60$ price in your opinion?
Skyward Sword which is the better game then Midtroid Prime
I‘m not arguing about which original game is better, but in terms of remaster improvements I think Prime is clearly superior. You are naturally free to disagree.
I actually like Skyward Sword, but Prime Remastered makes a lot of games seem mid.
I love Skyward Sword. I don’t love it to the extent that I love Metroid Prime
I wasn't really ever expecting to get SSHD with a massive visual overhaul, but I was kinda hoping for a bit more than what was provided. It's a gorgeous game that was limited a smidge by the Wii's output resolution, but there were other areas where i think they could've gone a bit further. I think trimming the fat a bit further and adding, like, one new area or something would've been neat. Something akin to a combat arena at least, because that's where SS originally thrived. Oh well, not much that can be done now ig.
They sadly never gave Skyward Sword HD the (completely broken) first person mode I always wanted
I didn't catch the change of gears all of sudden... that's a bummer. I'd rather have Hi-Fi Rush on Switch than just having to wait to get a brand new system to play it. And Sea of Thieves was a cool for the implications alone (that one Banjo game in development.. having it day and date on a Nintendo platform)
I love this comment, I think after January were in for a ride. At least were over halfway done January, and Prince of Persia game is out soon. But January is always tough!
After my final exam on the 19th, I'm probably just going to end up playing Palworld for the next few weeks until Persona 3 Reload, in which I'll play that until another game releases and so on until the Switch 2 releases.
They hate January
I’m sure the main reason why Metroid Prime Remastered is only $40 is because Nintendo had already significantly devalued the game themselves with Metroid Prime Trilogy. First they bundled an enhanced port of it with Metroid Prime 2 and 3 on Wii for just $50 (effectively making Metroid Prime on its own worth only ~$17), and then they rereleased that digitally on Wii U for just $20 (effectively making Metroid Prime itself worth just ~$7)—and to make matters worse, the Wii U eShop release was on sale for 50% off when it first launched (making Metroid Prime a mere ~$3 value)! Charging $40 for an impressive remaster of the game is still significantly more than the ~$7 (or ~$3) value that the game was worth just last generation, so Nintendo probably didn’t want to push it any further than that. They could have easily charged more for the game if they didn’t already devalue it so much the past two generations, and I’m sure Nintendo knows this very well and is a big part in why we don’t really see releases like Metroid Prime Trilogy anymore (Super Mario 3D All-Stars is the closest we’ve got in recent years, and there’s a reason why that was specifically made available for a limited time only).
I mean it makes sense.
Timing of release really influences my thoughts here. I could see the panoramas-and-statues teaser being the Columbo ending to the February Direct, then the full-on gameplay trailer would be a great blowout opener for the June Direct. I'd like that progression a lot.
Twitter Direct stays winning
How the fuck did I never think of "Nintendo Indirect" that's fucking hilarious, how did I miss that?!
The answer to this was in Engage's code: The Genealogy remake was in development before Engage. Engage is the 18th game in the series, but internally it's called Iron19. What's more, there's a reference in Engage's data to another project, that being Iron18. The Genealogy remake likely started development a long time ago, perhaps even on the 3DS, as there were rumors years ago about another remake being in development for the 3DS after Echoes before being shelved, presumably due to the Switch taking off and the 3DS dying faster than anticipated.
I am currently of the opinion that they are likely holding off on a big Prime 4 blowout until they can reveal it as a (possibly cross-gen) launch title for Switch 2. And as I don't expect a new console to be revealed until later in the year, my expectations for Prime 4 in the presumed February Direct are very low. As in, nothing at all, or perhaps a developer update monologue and a screenshot or two if we're lucky, promising more info to come in the coming months. I would be delighted to be wrong, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
Engage was intended to release in 2020 for the series' 30th anniversary, hence the heavy focus on past Fire Emblem characters. The pandemic meant they would miss it so the release timing became less critical, and as far as we're aware Engage did sit complete for a while, the speed at which the DLC came out afterwards corroborates that.
Wrong. You don’t need to act right all the time. Like listen to what others have told you sometimes and learn. Geez
I think it's just going to be called Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, at least in English anyways.But what will FE4 remake be titled
Fire Emblem: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.But what will FE4 remake be titled
