CosmoNova, do games w Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer

So they‘re selling a literal piece of plastic that becomes utterly useless the moment you lose access to their subscription service. Also, 14 games that they plan to release over time? Damn they must hate their customers with a passion.

If the recent pathetic patent filings were not enough to finally wake you up to what an awful company Nintendo are I don’t know what to tell you.

ch00f,

lol the actual Virtual Boy only had 11 titles.

PonyOfWar,

22 titles actually, of which 14 were released in the US.

It's a VB-themed redesign of the Labo VR kit. Should presumably be compatible with everything Labo VR supported (like, three titles I think?). Maybe the fact that they're bringing it back means they might reuse it in the future?

PonyOfWar,

This doesn’t have the head tracking capabilities of the VR kit, as you only insert the Switch which doesn’t have a gyro without the joycons.

Apparently they're selling two versions. One is the full scale VB, and that's clearly a collector's item. The other is the VB-themed Labo VR.

frezik,

I’m one of the Virtual Boy’s only fans. I don’t own a Switch 2 and don’t have plans to. I might just buy the accessory as a display piece.

EldritchFeminity,

At that point, why not just 3d print one or something. Save money by not giving it to a scummy company, and hey, throw a raspberry pi in there or something with an emulator and you can probably actually run Virtual Boy games on it.

Euphoma,

I believe the accessory works with switch 1 also, but its also really expensive at like 140 usd

God forbid they just released the entire library at once. Total of 5 megabytes 🥳

Not sure I care about the game itself, but the art style is beautiful!

I think it’s a fun novelty, but locking the actual software behind the Online+ Expansion pack instead of including it with the (no doubt expensive) accessory is a bit crap.

paultimate14,

These games should have been like maaaaybe $5 each on the 3DS a decade ago. Maybe $30 for a physical cartridge with all of them bundled.

Bustedknuckles, do games w Hades II – V1.0 Launch Trailer (Coming Sep. 25!)

I made the mistake of playing too much in early access and it was a lot of fun but I am worried it ruined the experience. Looking forward to trying a fresh playthrough!

tanisnikana,

And I make a point of avoiding early access (though I have been known to drift too far in the other direction and I play a lot of PICO-8 prototypes), so I’m looking forward to seeing this one with fresh eyes!

brrt,

Had this experience with Dead Cells. Regretted it and haven’t touched games until they reached 1.0 since then.

rautapekoni,

I’ve been playing for a few hours every patch to see most of the new content and then left it be for a while. Makes the game a bit harder since there’s enough time between bouts to forget some stuff, but it’s been a casual enough pace to not really diminish my excitement for launch at all.

$50

Cool! I don’t do early access, but i’ll gladly pick this up when it’s done in two weeks!

Can definitely recommend!

Looks dope!

SMG2 is probably the best 3D Mario game, but since I already own them I’ll just keep what I have.

Dolphin can play them both just fine. If it’s anything like the last pack, it’ll be the laziest possible emulation anyway. This shit should have been in the NSO subscription if they’re not actually going to remake it.

Love the art style. In-game actually looks better than the cutscenes.

carotte, do games w Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Official Nintendo Switch Trailer

they didn’t include galaxy 2 in 3d all stars to make the suckers double dip 5 years later lol

anyways, if anyone here has decompilation knowledge and wants to help, the original mario galaxy has a decomp project and they have 21% of the code decompiled!

Skullgrid,
@Skullgrid@lemmy.world avatar

I mean,I bought that just for SMG, so this feels shitty. It certainly wasn’t to play fucking super mario sunshine

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

sunshine is really good, but whatever did to it in that rerelease made it completely unplayable :(

victorz,

I thought it played nicely. It’s not a very difficult game anyway. Although there are some mechanics not possible with the switch controllers. Like the analog triggers with the click in the bottom that the GameCube controller had. That was so useful in so many games. Not sure why they got rid of that ever since.

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

there’s a measurable difference in input lag from the original. like 100ms difference.

victorz,

Myeah. The GameCube was dope.

Stovetop,

What threw me about the remake too is that a lot of the FLUDD mechanics are more annoying when you can’t partially press the trigger. It felt like it made more sense when you could “regulate” the flow with how strongly you pushed, but triggers on Switch controllers are only off/on.

JandroDelSol,

sunshine is my favorite :(

Nikls94,

You should look into eclipse!
