I have tried Mouse controls in every Nintendo game that supports them and Pokopia is the first time that I've used them and thought "actually yes, this is good and meaningful and incredibly useful and better for what I'm trying to achieve than my regular control scheme"
Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!
I don't really know what criteria we're using to make these 3x3 game grids, so I'm going on the principle of "if I had a really small shelf that could only hold 9 games, which 9 games would I want"
unfortunately the charge is the same
I appreciate you turning yourself in
posting a timestamped photo of marathon running on my ps5 and remanding a recount
Doing a citizen's arrest on anyone who posts about the Marathon concurrent player count
Loved the first hour I played and I can't wait to settle in for several hours after work tn
I've only played an hour of Pokopia during lunch, but that one hour captured my imagination & curiosity in an immediate and wonderful way. It so thoughtfully saturates this little crafting/building sandbox with Pokémon terms and ideas that are brilliantly rethought for this context. In awe of it
I didn't realize that was a discourse since I only played it for the first time last year, but I think MHGU is easily one of the most beautiful games I've played
I think that if Pokopia came out when I was 11 it would be the only game I ever played. I think that if Pokopia came out when I was 25 it would still dominate my gaming life. I am currently 25
real af
It's most similar to comfort TV shows. My girlfriend sort of cycles between the same 4 shows over and over and over. And in fairness so do I, I have seen every episode of seinfeld many many times
I'm just thinking about playing Pokopia tomorrow & I'm thinking about RE9 last night... I'm considering that if I were to make a top 10 games of all-time list MK World & Bananza would be on it... I'm pondering all the games I've not listed that I love... Switch 2 is prob my fave system ever already
Fantastic game so far!!
So sorry to hear this Joe :(
Still playing virtual boy
little wario with his hat off is freaky
Finally trying out my Switch 2 Virtual Boy
Some days I think Tenet is the greatest movie of all time
Highguard was extremely fun & its shutdown is an indictment of the gamemaking/funding environment. But I also think that it's kind of on you & your management if you take a secret Tencent deal tied to milestones you miss by a mile before spiking all your team's jobs and work into the dumpster?
Yeah weird that it was only in the Japanese show when I just bought it off the US eShop
I've been wanting to play Öoo! Awesome!
Im also less concerned with people wanting a game like Delta, but that's somewhat removed from the point I'm particularly interested in making here, for remakes that are fundamentally different from their source material and present an intriguing conversation, like remakes of Metroid 1 and 2 do
Yeah this goes back to my original post where I agree that it doesn't need a remake, and my defense here isnt of the type of remake you're describing i think. I'm playing the mgs games for the first time and when time comes I'm plating 3 not delta. I'm interested in the take, not the brand exercise
Tbf I guess my position is less straightforward in that "need" doesn't really enter into the equation. I guess I'm also just not too bothered about a primarily financial justification for a remake either so long as the game in my hands has something to say or something for me to respond to.
I'd say I have a lot more common ground with the person who wants a remake for reasons I disagree with than the person, who I've disagreed with in this thread and others quite thoroughly, that has a principled stance against any Super Metroid remake, or remakes more broadly
designers in Japan in the 90s. Part of my POV is recalibrating the conversation about remakes to see them as discrete works that aren't "fixing" anything (as a lot discourse does) but instead reintrepeting games through a different lens to make something new and singular and in conversation
Leave their IPs, but that I see a lot of similarities between Yorgos Lanthamos making Bugonia, a 2025 English remake of an early 00s South Korean movie & applying his own sensibilities, and a team of several 100 in Spain reimagining SM with their sensibilities, in comparison to a few dozen Nintendo
