@Jezzadog that'd be ideal - and honestly it should be required by law to include the original version in any kind of remake if possible.

@Jezzadog is it necessary for Chrono to get a remake? That's what I'm asking. If the game still holds up well, warts and all, is a remake truly required? You have to ask yourself if you just want a convenient way to play Chrono Trigger on modern hardware or if you want a shiny new thing that happens to be called Chrono Trigger.

anything but a remake, please.

That's nice. I wonder if this means Clovers will ever make something adjacent to that "Project G.G." Kamiya was doing before jumping ship from Platinum. It's unlikely, but hey. A guy can dream...

Wouldn't it technically be competing with Valve in that regard?

@batmanbud2 you might be interested in the official Mario 3 arrangement album by the Akihabara Electric Circus, then. If you haven't already, I highly recommend it, it's a great listen:

@SBandy1 fair enough.

@SBandy1 blaming me for a comment trend that's been around long before I showed up? That's just cold.

But really, I'm glad there hasn't been anyone making that kind of comment here. The last time the site posted a fan animation, people were pretty obnoxious about anticipating its takedown, so my comment was just in anticipation for what I imagined would be more of those same comments. It's nice to be proven wrong sometimes.

@IceClimbers I mean, Capcom does these discounted sales a lot of times, that's nothing new. I'm pretty sure it's less about gold points and more about getting more people to play Ghost Trick(which is justifiable because everyone should play Ghost Trick).

Prepare for annoying "Nintendo takedown" comments in 3...2...1...

Anyway. This is a fun little animation, highlighting some of Mario's best games on the Switch _{(and Brothership)} in a nice way.

MARIO CLOCK IS BAAAAAAACCCCCK

@-wc- yeah, that SNL skit was a real blight on humanity.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Nah, he's pretty bad.

This game just can't catch a break, can it?

@StewdaMegaManNerd personally I'd want Charles Martinet to voice him, but since that's not gonna happen, I'll settle for DeVito. Never Musk, though. He sullied Wario's good name.

@jump Mr. "Put-Venom-in-Everything" himself

Film exec: But Mr. Miyamoto, our Zelda movie is going to have Danny DeVito as Tingle, surely you can't object to that?
Miyamoto: Did I stutter?

@sketchturner I think people don't really mind the short length because A) the levels aren't terribly long, and B) it's a handheld game. Unless they were RPGs, handheld games back then weren't expected to be longer than a couple of hours anyway.

Solid picks. The quintessential Super Game Boy title and the game to make nonograms a proper thing in the states.

Hope that means we'll be seeing more unofficial replacement shells for these systems down the line, which would be nice. My 3DS XL's cracked hinge isn't going to fix itself.

I suppose this technically counts as a stability update soooo...

@rushiosan that's hilarious.

Some of the best games preservation on display are thanks to Hamster's archives.

@sdelfin fair enough. You do you.

@sdelfin look, if it works for you, that's all well and good, but I just think there are other options - better options - for emulator frontends than RA. BizHawk, EmulationStation and LaunchBox, for example. Otherwise? I just think it's better to use standalone emulators. Stuff like Red Viper, Snes9x, and ScummVM are pretty simple to use with the understandable setup of "open the file browser and pick a ROM." Easier to grasp then setting up cores in RetroArch.

@sdelfin I understand why an all-in-one solution would be enticing, but that kinda falls apart when said solution involves a needlessly cumbersome and finicky piece of software. Better to have separate emulators that work and are easier to understand than one clunky emulator with the worst UI ever conceived by a human.

Also, the creator of RetroFart is a complete tool - a garbage person who made garbage software.

@axelhander literally every other emulator is better than RetroFart. The only thing it has going for it are those low latency options and even then, I don't think it's worth it.

@Orpheus79V ehhhhhhhhh I mean yeah but y'know it's like I just want there to be an option for the OG and I don't care for some of the changes in the Shadow version and I'm going to stop talking now so that I don't get lynched by members of the fanbase

@RupeeClock I'm well aware of both, but Project 06 isn't really the same as a recompile(like how the Unleashed Project isn't the same game as Unleashed) and the PC version of Generations barely functions with its flipping slowdown, you need a mod in order for it to run well - at least in my experience.

@RupeeClock I think that's what I'm most interested about from all of this: how this Xbox recompiler tool opens the door to so many other 360 games getting a similar treatment to Unleashed. 06, Generations, Viva Pinata...imagine the possibilites.

@Bunkerneath same, I've never really disliked the Werehog levels either. They're a bit a long and the battle music gets samey(to the point where you can actually turn it off in the recomp), but they've never ruined the game for me.

(pfft) Like Unleashed would even run well on a Switch 2. I can smell the system catching fire already.

Not sure if I'm down for a new Katamari. After the second game, they've been a bit hit-or-miss since, largely due to the lack of original creator Keita Takahashi.

If you thought the Mario movie was an Oscar-worthy opus then is probably going to be like God's nectar or something

@tektite_captain (sighs, raises hand) I was BORED and passively interested, OKAY

Donkey Kong being one-upped by pirates? Sounds like a good premise for a video game.

@Krambo42 There really isn't? It's still removing content from a service for an unknown/possibly permanent period of time either way.

@Krambo42 Sure, but not everyone's willing and able to dig out their old systems to play Virtual Console. That's kind of why stuff like NSO exists to begin with.

@Waluigi451 The Virtual Console wasn't immune to delistings, either. SimCity SNES was delisted on the Wii, as was the DKC trilogy and all of the C64 games. Tetris GB was delisted on 3DS, Wii U lost a few TurboGrafx games, et cetera.

My type of title. I'll be picking it up soon.

@ScalenePowers it doesn't even have to necessarily be a crossover. Entry-level Mario XCOM is already strong enough to work on its own.

Psychonauts 1 and 2, please and thank you

I don't know what's worse: the fact that game studios are continuing to suffer from unnecessary layoffs and closures, or the fact that Warner Bros. is continuing to destroy every ounce of goodwill they once had thanks to Zaslav's cartoonish greed and ineptitude. Either way, I truly loathe it.

@dequesi clever.

Well, well. If it the Mario game that wasn't. The Mario game that lied. Don't even bother calling it Doki Doki Panic anymore, we're past that now. It's Mario 2 in all it's plant-plucking, Wart-having, dream-inhabiting glory.

I'll be keeping mine so I can transfer everything to the new system. After that, who knows.

@TerribleTerabytes Nostalgic bias has nothing to with this. It's just a terrible attempt at a QoL change by a team who didn't know what they were doing. No one has ever expressed difficulty with figuring out inputs in the previous titles. They weren't that hard to grasp.

@LXP8 funny way to say Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

@batmanbud2 exactamundo. Itoi doesn't feel the need to make a new one and I don't think he should be pressured to.

@DannyBoi yeah, that's what it is. Apparently it's supposed to represent "an unexpected bond that brings the birth of something new."
