Highly doubt it. The Pixel Remasters of FF1-6 got rid of all the extra stuff added by later versions of those games and went back to their base forms.

No buyer's remorse here. Was going to get it within a few months regardless for Prime 4, and now I don't need to worry about hunting one down. The price won't change at all in the meantime (hell, according to the MSM it'll go UP because tariffs are comin' to get us lol) so it isn't a situation...

I guess I stopped paying attention around the 80% mark when the Evil Queen stopped being the antagonist. For me the whole story with her was way superior to the endgame stuff and I'm not sure why they replaced her. FF does that kind of thing a lot, though.

FF16's final bad guy reminded me a lot of Necron. Very out of nowhere and a similar design. Necron himself was supposed to be Necrophobe from FF5 (the penultimate bad guy, served as the underboss of all of Exdeath's goons). An odd choice to bring back for FF9's final boss outta nowhere. FF13-2...

Is there such a thing as Virtual Boy emulators? I don't think I ever even thought about this before in the 27 years I've been emulating things. I'd kinda like to play the Wario Land game for VB (and that's it lol) since it's the only Wario Land game I had no way to play as a kid. Emulation on a...

Honestly not sure why anybody would go through any particular hoops to buy a Switch 2. For me lining up was a chance to do a social event for a system launch for the first time since the Wii, and had very little to do with the actual system. The system itself has like...nothing to it currently...

Are those the "ultimate" levels? Every 3D Mario has some ultimate challenge once you get all the stars (well, all of the games after a certain point). If so, then it sounds like 500 moons might be the "finish line" for a completionist playthrough. From what I've read, getting all the moons is...

It's one of those games that if you're going to play it, you gotta focus on it and get into it. Sort of like a Fromsoft game. Just giving it a cursory look or trying to play it in small bits alongside other things probably isn't going to work that well / you won't get as much out of it. Also...

Whatever you do, don't buy the overpriced "new versions" of BOTW and TOTK. Just pay the $10 to patch your old copies. Not sure why they're even selling the new versions like it's some sort of new remaster. The new versions improve the framerate substantially, and the draw distance is better...

Come on, Pauline's hips have got it going on. I'm not sure about her giant head though.

Just finished with all the single-player content in Mario Kart 9 (didn't take long), looking for something else to do with the Switch 2 (lol). Might resume Mario Odyssey. I beat the game but only had like 150/900 moons. I got all the Stars/Shines in the other 3D Marioes, but Odyssey has like a...

Vagrant Story, now that's something that could really use a remaster. One of the best PS1 games and it's basically lost to time / too ugly to play now. In the same limbo as Xenogears and Bloodborne. I played Vagrant Story's soundtrack over Dark Souls 1's silent areas one of the times I played...

Daisy, surprisingly, is where it's at. Swimsuit Daisy is probably the best, she's got a few sexy outfits though. Pauline is also in that ballpark, whether in the red dress or the tight racing uniform (weirdly enough they only gave her two outfits). None of Peach's outfits really do it for me...

FFT16 would be basically a fighting game with DMC combos... yeah, sometimes dead is bettah, in the immortal words of the old gravekeeper on South Park

Oh yeah, I didn't get the new Pro Controller, because the old S1 one works with the S2. However, from your description, I think I'll go back and get it after all. The old pro controller can't turn the system on, can be a bit of a PITA to pair up with it, and is getting kind of long in the tooth...

The Grand Prix courses stop and start like regular Mario Kart levels, even though the levels are designed to flow into each other geographically. There's another mode, Knockout Race or something like that, where the courses are one after another without stopping and it's more fun. The cups are...

Gamestop is so idiotic with their staples and stickers. They tell the employees to do things a certain way and the drone-like employees just comply even if it doesn't make sense. Which is why you get stickers and staples on things that get damaged by them. Like my local grocery store having to...

What sucked for me about the Tactics Ogre remake was the final boss. One of the worst final bosses I can think of in any RPG. Absurdly hard fight and it's two stages so you get to repeat the lengthy first stage every time you lose. Maybe the original TO had a final boss that ridiculous too...

I'm just gonna leave this here

So they...added voices and some phone game type UIs? These companies sure are good at selling people things they already have.

At a fairly heavy-traffic Best Buy and there are only about 30 people in line 5 hours before the midnight release. Supposedly they have about 120 systems available (not sure if that's extra, or includes preorders). Good chance they won't even sell out on night 1. Funny thing is, they keep...

Yeah the Guardian's ultimate was superb for reviving people on the big boss, especially if the bodies were close together. Once corpses have 3 bars, it's such a PITA to get them revived that the fight's probably out the window by then anyway. Guardian's ultimate knocks out all 3 bars instantly.

Scritch scritch... ya'll got cleric 2.0s?

I'm considering waiting in line for it tomorrow just for the fun of it (last time I waited in line for a console was the Wii in 2006 or so and that was a fun time). The actual system, however, doesn't particularly excite me. It's basically waiting in line for the latest Mario Kart, when it...

Faceless ...on Teek

I had a few groups that kicked ass on day one and then fell apart on day two (either going and beating their heads against the pot-throwing castle, or just wandering around aimlessly).

That's what happened to me with my last TV buy 3 or 4 years ago. I was hellbent on getting a 65 inch LG G1, but nobody had it. A couple months went by of nobody knowing when they'd get them in, and the company itself not even knowing when the next round would ship, so I gave up and got the LG...

Endgame's logic gaps were its weakness, for sure. Watchers building a sanctuary that isn't on holy ground (or is and the bad guys ignored it) is pants on head retarded. Unless one subscribes to the idea that Jacob Kell was just so evil and so powerful that he decided to completely ignore The...

It just me or does Johnny Storm look weirdly like young Robert Downey Jr? I still remember Young RDJ and he looked just like this guy. Maybe in their universe Tony wasn't Tony, became the Human Torch instead of Iron Man, then later becomes Doctor Doom? This would also explain Doom fawning over...

Nevermind, "First Steps" is literally a reference to a baby with superpowers

First Steps IS a pretty infantile title. However I'm guessing it's either a reference to them being astronauts (the first people to go beyond what we were allowed to do, thus bringing Galactus here) OR it's supposed to be infantile because the society they live in is essentially sheltered and...

Ten years ago this would have been a funny joke

Skeptical if there's no Karl Urban, I'm going to save $10 and wait for Dredd 4.

Basically the remake of this movie turned Zeist into a lost ancient civilization (~15,000+ years ago) on Earth. The people there are all immortal, and their technology advanced to where they were able to send people to the future (they'd lose their memories) which is how immortals are created...

Well that's it for me, lucky #13, we got the cerberus down to basically nothing and fell to attrition due to nobody having any heals left (for like the last 50% of the fight lol). There goes another 45+ minutes with zero gains. Maybe I'll try this again in a few months when everyone knows what...

Another thing I don't like is how most of the actual good weapons need a Somber stone to upgrade, and I never ever get those. I'll end up with a few regular stones at the end of a world and six weapons that can't be upgraded by it. 12 runs now, weird how often runs end with a boss at like 5%...

The castle with pot-throwing trolls is horrible, yeah, as is the Redmane Guard camp with someone firing arrow rains from a tower. That one suckers you in with "a bunch of guards are a boss? This'll be easy" and then pastes you with Radahn-style arrow rains that track your movements for some...

I haven't sold the game yet. I'm not done / haven't given up until I sell the thing. Right about now it really does feel like a waste of time to play with my rapidly-dwindling mortality though.

Out of the 10 runs I did, the 3rd or 4th (can't remember now) was still the best one. Both people seemed to know where to go, and kept putting pins down for where we should go next, making everything simple. We still died to the cerberus at 50% health, of course, but we accomplished a lot more...
