Ah, that's bittersweet. Would have liked remakes of those.

Still cool though to see them being brought back.

If the remakes would have had the same “toy” aesthetic as the Link’s Awakening remake, I’m glad they opted to just port them to NSO. I’m sure it’s a fine remake but I’m not into the look of it and will almost always prefer playing older games like that with the original retro look they were released with.

Did you play both? I played one of them, Ages I think, but not Seasons. Wondering if it's worth playing the other.

I haven't played either tbh, I'm looking forward to giving them a go now. I just generally prefer to play retro games the way they originally looked, and sometimes find the "polish" of remakes a bit unsatisfying, so I'm glad to have them on NSO in their original form.

Just preordered Blasphemous 2 on the e-shop. It’s actually on sale too. 10% off. My body is ready to receive another round of penance

How was the first game?

First game was awesome. Great gothic like art style and pretty challenging. The final boss took me a while though because of its multiple phases with no checkpoints in between phases.

If anyone plays Disney Illusion Island this weekend I'm really interested in hearing about it. Looks like it could be fun, and only $40.

About an hour in so far.

It's very much a platformer, kind of in the same vein as Rayman Origins/Legends but with a more open world rather than predefined levels.

It's also kind of metroid style in that you will be getting new moves (double jump, wall jump, etc) to access new areas that were previously inaccessible. Controls quite well though. (I think in Rayman Legends you have all your moves from the start)

There is no combat in the game so far; your options for dealing with enemies are to avoid them. So far it has been very easy - enemies have had pretty static patterns.

It does have a decent sense of humor, though.

If you haven't played Rayman Legends, personally I think it is 100x better than what I have experienced in Illusion Island so far. I would say get Rayman Legends first. But if you have it already and want a new game in that same style, this is the closest we've gotten in years. It will disappoint but only because Rayman Legends is SO good.

Rayman Legends is 5Star. Maybe best on WiiU, Prettiest on PS4, and picked it up on Switch for good measure.

So far I have not played a game only in Handheld BUT Pikmin 4 has worked out that way n it is made for handheld. Now I am looking for an OLED. On the 2nd area with 3 unlocked so far and I have Zero complaints.

I prefer rayman origins over legend, the art style looked so much more beautiful in origins. Especially on the vita OLED. I just got a new vita and can’t wait to play it again.

Fair point. I usually recommend Legends over Origins because most of Origins' levels are included in Legends as unlockables. Legends is definitely more bang for your buck contentwise.

Got Pikmin 4 to play with my kid. Holy hell, the first hour is 95% dialogue. There's way too much unnecessary banter.

I wonder if one of the earlier ones would be better for a 6 year olds first time playing one.

True, I just really love the levels and art of Origins. The art in Origins has that thick black outline and has a nicer looking hand drawn style that is more appealing to me. Not saying Legends is NOT hand drawn. It's just that the style and colors used are more to my taste in Origins. I remember being really wowed playing it on the Vita the first time. The small OLED screen just paired so well with that art style.

That water level with that song with the weird vocals was jaw dropping. I know Legends has that song too. It's just such a good 2D platformer.

Just don't play the 3ds version if you are big on the art.

I was mildly considering it. But that was before I got a PS3. Was gonna get it for PS3 but then got a Vita. Now I bought what I think is the best way to play it. The VIta version.

I downloaded the demo for the 3ds version a long time ago. The graphics were super muddy and low res.

benstylus wrote:

yeah, but the 3D was good. Heheh, but not sharp and beautiful like on the vita.

I feel like they have a bad habit of over explaining things in their games. It's especially bad in Animal Crossing where certain characters will repeat lines a bajillion times for even the most basic things. I remember in Skyward Sword on Wii there was unnecessary text that would pop up every time you collected a rupee, it was so bad that someone made a cheat for the Dolphin emulator that would disable that from popping up anymore (fans do what Nintendon't)

And then they release TotK and gamers complain they don't know what they're doing, they don't know where to go or what to do first/next.

My daughter just 100% completed Super Mario Sunshine. I don't think I ever played past the first few levels, but that was many years ago. Maybe I should give it another day in court.
