    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    Graphically, I'll be generous and not let my misgivings about the style get in the way of the fact that it does truly look like the next generation after the Switch, technologically. THIS is what people paid for, in that sense. But yeah, the only reason this wasn't announced alongside a NEW 3D...

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    Yeah, I knew the remake was a lazy dumpster the minute Aonuma said "see those load times? we kept those in on purpose to preserve the original feel." Oh really? But you added a jump button? You added hideous voice-acting that demolishes the sense of aloof mystery and replaces it with Saturday...

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    I know it's rhetorical, but my 2 cents is that the influencers and clout-mongers on YT are only partly to blame for this. It really comes from a general de-intellectualization of gamers as a demographic post-COVID. People forget that the Switch rightly got 7/10 when it came out, the performance...

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    We've been seeing similar projects attempted by single creators on YouTube for years, so seeing that it's a 1:1 reskin and not an actual reimagining is a real gut punch for anyone who actually cares about the series and the art of game design in general. And yes. Link looks very greasy to me as...

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    The graphics look nice (mostly), but there are zero risks being taken. For a game that was already remade pretty much perfectly on 3DS, this should have been a full reimagining OR it should have been at the same time as the announcement of a new game, even a small one. Zelda Maker. BOTW Picross...

    Nintendo bans a number of Switch 2 consoles over the weekend, internal server error reportedly to blame

    Most people don't understand that getting banned includes losing the ability to download files from game key cards. There is a non-zero chance that when you buy a used game, you will lose access to your "physical" library too. But if you bought a console with a known kill switch in it, you...

    ROM Hack Translation Project Cardfight Vanguard!! Stride to Victory - Looking for collaborators on translation

    For what it's worth, here's what a pro chat account recommends: Take one failing file, like tuto_004.rtz, and rebuild it without changing any text at all. If the untouched rebuilt file still crashes, the problem is your RTZ packing/compression process. If it works, then the problem is caused...

    Editorial Worth the wait - a look at Elden Ring on the Switch 2

    I'm glad it's a good port, but like, I'm not spending $80 on a key card of a last-gen game that isn't upgraded; arguably, it's mid-graded or even downgraded. And the fact that people want to hype it just shows how low the standard has gotten. It would be like an early-era PS2 game on the Wii...

    Homebrew [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++ - GUI for DS(i) games, and DS(i) Menu replacement

    I've been playing open agb firm's latest update which added .bgr backgrounds to 1:1 scaling, so you can put a GBA frame kind of like the Virtual Console. Honestly a game changer. What are the odds we could figure out how to do something similar for DS on Twilight Menu? It would fix all the...

    Pokemon Yellow added to first generation recompilation library, voxel mod updated to support "3Dish battles"

    Better Stereoscopic 3D Patches/Cheat Codes Releases, development and discussion

    That's a great catch for Robobot! Good job! I was hoping it could help me find addresses for the despawning textures, using DQVII as the example. It did find working addresses, but it couldn't fix the issue. I was also seeing if it could create a 3D-enabled build of an NES game. I'll DM you...

    Better Stereoscopic 3D Patches/Cheat Codes Releases, development and discussion

    I'm sorry to hear that 🙏 I'm sure you'll land on your feet! It's tough out there, but you got this. Games are expensive here too lol, I just got lucky. I'm excited to check! It's certainly interesting! Pokemon would be huge. A bit ago, I tried to get AI to help me with the despawning...

    Better Stereoscopic 3D Patches/Cheat Codes Releases, development and discussion

    Well hi there! I hope you've been well! I'd love to test this after work today. Funnily enough, I just recently bought this game so it'll be a real on-cart test :) This could be a game-changer on games with present but deactivated 3D like Pokemon!

    Better Stereoscopic 3D Patches/Cheat Codes Releases, development and discussion

    Glad you're enjoying them! I don't believe we've made a vanilla Generations code, but have you tried putting the XX code in a .txt with the Generations Title ID? It's possible they use the same hex values.

    'Darkest Dungeon' reveals surprise new DLC, 'The Fire's Edge'

    As a console-only gamer, I really hate it when developers do this because they don't update older ports. I bought and played Darkest Dungeon on Vita, and that's still my preferred way to play, so if I want to play this DLC, I would have to buy a whole new version. I know "just game on PC" is a...

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    On the same day, this news also dropped: gamers are moving away from Sony, will soon only play PlayStation games on retro consoles. Huh. What a coincidence. 1782915429 Remember that even the physical games on Switch 2 aren't usually physical. They're just digital access keys. The main...

    I am so happy and excited to hear about this!! This is maybe my favorite series, and I've always wanted to play this. I even bought a Japanese copy pre-tariffs just in case it ever happened :D Thank you for your hard work!!

    What do you want to see in the next Nintendo Direct?

    I want to see new exclusives or a new IP. I want to see them use their "variable pricing" in a way that is actually GOOD for US. Oh, Millennium Kitchen is making an eshop exclusive spiritual sequel to Attack of the Friday Monsters for $9.99. Oh, Intelligent Systems is making a true next-gen...
