It is not.

This and the Zelda ones… I feel bad for wanting more remakes for the remake machine… But damn, those are good games.

I didn’t know there was hype for new Pokémon games for the Switch 1… Unless I missed the joke.

Xbox handheld made sense before when we had proper handhelds.

Nowadays… Not so much, I struggle to think how anybody would not think that this is just another Steam Deck/ROG Ally or whatever other PC gaming handheld in the market.

I played it on Android but what I didn’t like is that it is a rouge like?

I would have preferred it to be delivered in episode/level manner, I am not a fan of “starting over the same stuff”.

Another Wii U game getting good reviews?

Another proof that the Wii U failure was created by Nintendo themselves, at least it died to give us the Switch 😁

I am definitely not one of those who grew up playing game with markers though (I am 32 years old and that’s why I specified it must be a me problem 🤣).

I am playing the DS version which seems to be the definitive version, even to this day.

I am about to “finish it” and I haven’t played it in one sitting for sure, I have done some pauses for months here and then and when I go back to it I always find myself lost in their objectives.

One thing I can say I don’t like, and it must be a very personal issue, is that the game work “kinda open” with not clear objectives of where you should head off then, which just increases my sense of loss.

I suppose many games of those days worked like that (like not having pointers in a map of where to go) but I just couldn’t… And if you add the secondary missions to it that involves time traveling it all just gets more confusing for me.

I am aware the game has quite good post game content, so I hope I do my best there…

In a nutshell I think this game does well for people that know it at 100% (as in, their favorite nostalgic game) but for newcomers you’ll get lost and need a guide at hand, especially if you want to enjoy it at “its fullest” doing all the secondary quests available, that is my personal experience though.

It needs to improve a lot, I don’t think 2025 is a good fit for this change.

Do you consider yourself as a creative or a Minecraft fan? (Or in a nutshell somebody who likes Legos, map edition/creation etc), because I don’t, and I love BOTW but the building mechanics of TOTK have me scared of it 😅

On top of that, I was always really impressed by the GBA’s battery life but maybe I’m just old.

Same, I just don’t remember ever bothering about the battery life (unless it turned red) but with that long gaming sessions it would be a concern for kid me probably.

How did the battery last that much? AFAIK the GBA didn’t have any sleep mechanics… Or was one pack of batteries able to hold 12-24 hrs running the game non stop?

VR gaming bro.

Yep, most of us won’t really have the energy to get into a 100 hours + game, a platform, an indie or a retro beloved game? Yeah I can see that.

Preorder has been a synonym of unpaid beta tester for me since almost the conception of digital preorders…

If you like to preorder you should expect this to be honest.

How do you feel about MK Wii compared with 8 or 8 Deluxe?

I like my Vita, but not for PSP games, they look pretty bad to my eyes, especially if you have used a PSP 3000 or Go (my other Sony handhelds) or PPSSPP.

The PSP and the Vita had a better idle drain than the DS and 3DS respectively.

An opportunity to re-sell the same games with minor updates (I am looking at you 35 Mario anniversary edition) to a higher user base for today’s prices?

What am I missing here?

Tell that to the Gamecube and Wii U eras

They still don’t lose anything, not if they can port/upscale them on the way and sell them for today’s prices, why have backwards compatibility am I right?

Mate, with how much the Switch sold, I think they already did.

And yet they thrive, kinda funny isn’t it?

What a good game, I usually don’t play games in hard mode (I didn’t for Sifu either) but I am very proud that after busting my ass I got the the final boss in normal difficulty with 20 years, he got me once or twice, can’t remember.

I finally started the Metroid series (playing countless hours Metroid Prime Hunters online does not count) with Metroid Zero Mission in my Anbernic RG351v, after getting the 700 blue thingies in Rayman Legends I had a very good session yesterday.

About time.

Aren’t newer android versions welcoming more Linux’s features?

I see they could fit something like this there.

Nobody wants an open world BioShock game as a service… We don’t, do we?

I have heard here on Lemmy or Reddit that all the games were meant to be open world games but only limited by the tech of its age.

Screw that thought!

I don’t believe the dream of all/most game devs were making empty endless maps.

I feel pretty awesome, thanks Epic, I love you fondly…

But I suppose that wasn’t what you wanted to hear…

Jokes aside why wouldn’t someone feel good or cool about it?

If you play on PC maybe there is a mod that changes his voice, IDK dude, PC modders are crazy 😂

I am currently playing ORAS, BOTW and Rayman Legends, after finishing at least one of them I’ll start with Metroid Zero Mission for once, to break that nightmare deal I did to myself of not playing more metroidvanias until I get to finish Super Metroid and SOTN!

TIL somebody is able to hate Geralt’s voice.

I definitely need to read more about this… I (kinda) compare BG3 with The Witcher 3, and I would have enjoyed playing TW3 a lot with my gf for sure! (Not sure if she would like the whole run though).

but it had no problems getting certified by Sony.

The thing is, I have heard this title and Wukong don’t run that well in the PS5, or at least that is what I have read in online sites… I am not sure if that is true, or it is only PC gamers being noisy about it.

BG3 has a split screen!?

I have heard it doesn’t run quite well on PS5… Now I wonder if this mode is available there and if it is better or worse lol.

My Poco F2 Pro doesn’t have it clearly visible either… You can look for it with apps like the Hidden Settings app though.

I swear this feature is not hidden in other MIUI ROMs…

I am afraid to try this title… I don’t really need a backlog distraction right now… 😅

I guess you are right, I am not a PC gamer, but heck I want to be… Good to have this in mind though… I suppose the saving features of the current games help for this situation.

Yeah, I find it interesting too…

PSP and Vita handheld this feature better than DS and 3DS yeah, regardless it was a more than welcome future :p

I kinda remember it was a feature in the PS3 too? But you might be right about Xbox One and PS4… Because I remember being lazy turning on my PS3 and knowing it didn’t have many background tasks (like downloading updates and such).

Now that I think about it, some Chinese handhelds (like the Miyoo Mini which uses Linux) do not have the suspend feature (like android handhelds) we are talking about, the workaround for that one is nice though, it actually creates a save state then it turns off the screen and audio for several minutes, then it eventually powers off and when you turn it on it loads again the last game played and quick loads the save state (with Onion OS). I don’t expect something like that coming for PC games, but heck, something must be done lol.

As a console/handheld gamer I am not impressed by said feature… But would you care to explain why it does not work on a PC!?
