Maybe unpopular opinion, but USUM is my favorite Pokemon game. The graphics were great and fitting, and it had a nice cozy feel with a banger OST.

Going from that to SwSh broke my heart. I literally just wanted a less pixelated USUM and instead they „evolved“ to that weird plastic/clay look like so many other Nintendo-close franchises…

I‘d say I‘m excited for an USUM remake in the future, but I don‘t think they‘d go with the vibrant and clean anime look anymore, and that‘d be over half my excitement gone.

USUM feels like the franchises often forgotten title i feel like. I really enjoyed the OGs, and though the whole Ultra Beast thing in USUM doesn’t really interest me, it is nice to have more content. I agree with the graphics and Soundtrack too, tropical things don’t really do it for me, but Sun and Moon i really enjoyed the OST for

The game is fun but man it was rough figuring out all the monster abilities. I wish they’d improve the monsternomicon to actually tell you what the monsters do. Like I still don’t know how the gnome monster works.

pageflight,

Yeah that one’s a mystery to me. Sometimes disappears, sometimes gives you gold. I was wondering if it’s related to the blue bull in some way.

I think if you find all the gnomes is when it gives you gold.

my_hat_stinks,

From what I could tell the gnome teleports to a random still-covered empty tile and dies when there’s nowhere left to run.

This looks fun! Also check out Tametsi.

pageflight,

Fun, even works on Linux (Ubuntu) after turning on Proton for all games. I like the level-based design.

Factorio is my jam. So addicting and the pixelated nature holds up well.

Seems like a solid place for me to plug Deadbolt to anyone that hasn’t played it. It’s made by the risk of rain guys with Chris christodoulou making another iconic soundtrack.

It plays a bit like if hotline Miami was a stealth sidescroller, using fluid motion to get in, kill the enemies, and get out as quickly and smoothly ad possible.

Everyone should give it a try, it’s one I consistently ignore new games for.

One of them is art, the other is just reality…

I spent my childhood playing SNES and early PC games and I can’t stand playing modern pixel art games.

DrSleepless, do gaming w Games with good pixel art are my weakness

I just got Risk of Rain

SadSadSatellite,

One of the best games out there. RoR 2 and RoR Returns are both stellar as well.

The soundtrack is phenomenal.

The game seems way too hard at first, but once you get into the flow it’s incredibly satisfying.

This is going to be another “Hunt Down the Freeman” isn’t it…

You didn’t just look at an image of (9, not 10 games….) and just assume that’s the entire compliment did you?

Mr_Dr_Oink, (edited )

No! Its a joke. N64 has been on switch for 4 years. In that time they have released about 10 games anyone would actually play. The rest are pretty much trash. Tell me you have even opened “operation winback”

If they spent as much time porting games to NSO as they do to crushing emulators then i would feel like the money im spending for NSO was more worth it.

Where is duke nukem 64? Where is conkers bad fur day? Where is rampage world tour, clay fighter 63 1/3, diddy kong racing, star wars shadows of the empire or rogue squadron, donkey kong 64, mystical ninja, doom 64?

There was a huge pool to pull from. It just seems a bit lacking for 4 years when i can get an emulator and a rom pack and play with custom mapped controls at higher fps on any device i own.

They could make that happen. And i would pay for it.

Kvoth,

I don’t disagree with your overall point about Nintendo crushing emulators, but I count at least 20 solid games on that list

Mr_Dr_Oink,

You’re not wrong. There’s a good amount of great games on that list.

The problem is that these are straight ports, bugs, and all.

The worst part is the janky controls.

On goldeneye, perfect dark and jetforce gemini you have to remap the controls on the switch settings and select a different control configuration in game to make them playable and even then the sticks are way too sensitive with no calibration options.

They release goldeneye on xbox 360 and fixed alot if not all of these issues and upscaled and widescreened everything, and it was a much better experience.

Some games play well, mario and banjoe kazooie are good. Not had any problems with waverace.

Lylat wars is a bit messy.

Pokemon stadium is fine, but less fun without the game boy attachment to transfer pokemon to use in battle.

Paper mario is great.

But this is just the 64. Then theres the snes, nes gameboy, advance and genesis. Each with a plethora of games I’ve never heard of, despite these being the consoles i had as a child.

I just think this wasn’t what they sold to us when it was announced, and it shouldn’t take 3 months to release a new title that no one has ever heard of.

Next up, someone tell me/us the strengths & weaknesses of the different factions

I got to play FaF with a top ranked player Vs 8 of us low-mid tiers (and one total novice)

We were still pottering about setting up defences and he had filled his half of the map with factories and quickly killed 2 or 3 of us. We won but only because one of us had a gunship squadron going around the map edge and found his commander.

It’s quite astonishing what he did in such a short time.

It did kind of kill my enthusiasm for it though, an excession event where you realise you are just a pathetic minnow. Humbling

I would like some advice for SC1 here in this thread (I’m talking tactics, etc…)

anyhow2503,

If your mass storage is full, any excess is wasted, so you should always try to make sure that it is being spent on something useful. SC1/FA incentivizes a constant balancing of your economy.

You can reclaim mass from dead units (even civilians), buildings, rocks, trees etc. Trees also give a bunch of energy which can be useful very early on. A failed attack will quite often turn out to be a mass donation that gets recycled into an army for realiation. All of this might be balanced differently between the different versions of the game, so I can’t be sure that it applies all that well to base SC1 vs. FA or even FAF.

Don’t build all your energy reactors in a big cluster if you can help it. One well placed attack will blow the whole thing up in a chain reaction. On the other hand, sabotaging your opponents power grid is often a solid strategy.

If anyone is interested in FAF and wants to take a look at some different levels of gameplay, check out GyleCast on YouTube.

Any good let’s plays/Walkthroughs on SC1 ?

anyhow2503,

Sorry, no idea. I think I’ve only ever watched other people play multiplayer supcom and the few tutorials I watched were for Forged Alliance Forever. This is the kind of stuff I was watching a decade ago. Check it out if you’re into old gameplay videos with a crusty mic track. :D
