The Origami King is one of my favorite games on the Switch so I am pretty tempted to buy this, even though I am not usually one for remakes.

I only meant to download the Vampire Survivors game trial for the platinum points, but after trying it for a little bit I finally get what the fuss is about ff, it's deceptively simple but it really hooks you.

It’s just a HD, upscaled port, similar to Metroid Prime.

Despite it being called a remaster it doesn't really do it justice, it had a huge graphical overhaul which required loads of new assets. I think they stuck with the Remastered title because they didn't change anything about the gameplay (except for additional controller options).

The new lighting in Thousand Year is beautiful and really elevates the feel but I do miss the pop art/manga dot shading. Very Wind Waker in that it gives and takes.

I didn’t even notice this until you pointed it out, but yeah, I agree. It deprives it of some of its personality. (Still overall looks better, though.)

Also Metroid Prime was called a remaster but all assets were remade, plus a new control scheme. That’s why it looked so amazing.

Is there any intention for them to release more N64 games for the Switch pack? Almost all of my childhood favorites have been done, I just need Diddy Kong racing and I'll be content!

Princess Peach Superstar was going to be a blind buy for me but I downloaded the demo and it was disappointingly boring. I don't mind an easy game! Super Princess Peach on the DS was criticized for being too easy but it's one of my favorite games! This one to me is just bland, and there are so many frustrating pauses to the gameplay for small cutscene type moments and dialogue. Anyone who is interested, I would suggest playing the demo and seeing if you like it first.

I'm renting it which will likely help but my expectations are...not super high

 

[soratami]

Reviews are out and from what I've seen it looks like a solid 7-8/10 kind of game which is basically what I expected. It was never really a day 1 thing for me but I'll definitely grab it eventually.

I did and I changed my mind... but my order is still on the way cause I need them to know that Peach is a million seller!

I just want the pink joycons nn

Called it!

Ah, the Nintendo way!

It’s what I would call a palate cleanser game. When you’re done with the trials and tribulations of a taxing RPG, platnuming a PS game or a skill based action game (Bayonetta ddd) it’s nice to play something easy and comfy. See Kirby, Yoshi, Detective Pikachu etc.

Exactly. It was very impressive work and acknowledged by the likes of DigitalFoundry.

Loving Ninja Peach. Just going to do Cowgirl Peach and then call it a night. I caved in and ordered the physical when I decided my Niece's easter wouldn't be complete without a Peach notepad thrown in.

Liking the Paper Mario/Yoshi's Crafted World/Tengami vibe even if I don't quite see why it has slightly frame drop issues (not noticeable for the target audience I'd imagine, but I want creamy smooth from Nintendo's top billing roster thank you very much).

I've only played the demo, but the really bad framerate on Peach Showtime is really noticeable, and a number of reviews have picked up on it.

I remember Kirby and the Forgotten Land had similar issues, and obviously the mess of Pokemon Scarlet/ Violet and Legends Arceus. All great games, but to varying degrees difficult to play. The new console can't come soon enough.

Really? I didn't notice anything when I played it, I thought it looked/played super smooth.

Well shucks.

I loved Cowgirl Peach.

I remember the level on the construction site kind of thing over a body of water and the haunted house level seeming like big struggles for my Switch.

Although I do still mostly use my launch day Switch which is now 7 years old so that could be part of the problem.
