I get your point. And kind of agree for the most part. But idk, some title screens are nice to look at. Having the option to just view it until I’m ready to go on is nice imo. One button press isn’t all that bad. But yeah when loading or dlc checking has to be done after pressing the button it’s more annoying. That should happen before imo
Omg thank you for answering the second part of the question 😆. I think I’ll make another post highlighting this question as it clearly wasn’t looked at super closely, but your suggestion is great! I’ll add it to my list :)
Fair enough. I definitely agree that I wish some of their franchises were treated better. Metroid Dread I am hoping is a return to regular games for that series, and Pikmin 4 which I recently finished is also amazing. Not everything is great but there is still some stellar stuff
I mean technically the first was was 1987, but the first 2 games were not super big, and unless you count the weird NES port, only came out in Japan. the first actually big title didn’t come out until 1998. Also definitely do not agree on that Metroid assertion. I thought dread was outstanding. And I am pretty sure its the best selling game in the franchise
Yeah I think VR is cool. I don’t think it’ll take off until they can make a headset that’s actually comfortable to wear for a long time though. I’ve tried a bunch out, and some aren’t that bad. But for prolonged periods it’s just uncomfortable usually. And it makes me not want to set it up again when I know I’ll just get sweaty and irritated after an hour
Nice! Yeah I didn’t even consider the PC price. I played all these games on my phone and I think I got house of davinci for like 99c on sale, so I think that wasn’t a bad price at all haha. I would not be super happy about paying full price yikes.
I am definitely one who typically prefers emulation. The ease of use is just way too nice. Playing things on hardware is always an option for those willing to take the steps necessary to do so.
Another option though that I think worth touching on is hardware emulation, via stuff like the MiSTer project. Reprogrammable boards that allow more accurate hardware emulation of the old consoles is really cool, and helps to be more authentic to the classic experience if that is important to you. You would still need stuff like a crt tv and controllers if you wanted to go all the way. But having 1 board that can be programmed to mimic a bunch of different systems makes it slightly more accessible
