it wasn't really supposed to be a gotcha. the impression i get repeatedly is that the people who work at Nintendo HQ are extremely insular to the point where they don't really know how to do services or anything other than what they've traditionally done as a company which is make hardware and games

finally got around to calling nintendo about the whole primary console thing and it took all of about five minutes to get sorted

i am putting all my hopes + dreams into goose game, it's going to be everything i've ever imagined and so much more

not sure what people are expecting it to be besides the simple comedy-stealth game they've shown

cuphead next month, cadence of hyrule is 'spring'

also an indie sale up now, if you haven't played Yoku's Island Express yet it's 50% off, pick it up

PR with everything announced
Everything is "a roguelike" which apparently doesn't mean anything other than "has procedurally generated elements" at this point, which is disturbing but I'm no linguistic conservative.
Some other highlights:
The Red Lantern, a narrative/procedural first person musherRAD, third person procedural 3D action with random mutations for your protagKatana ZERO, 2d action platformer with katanaVlambeer stuffCreature in the Well, top down pinball-inspired action??Overland, a turn-based strategy zombie(?) road trip
honestly this was mostly an all-killer no-filler presentation
― moose; squirrel (silby), Wednesday, 20 March 2019 17:36 (five years ago) link
RAD is a doublefine game notably. its got their style
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 20 March 2019 17:37 (five years ago) link
I hope Cadence of Hyrule is the first of many (or at least several) indie games getting to play with Nintendo IP.
― moose; squirrel (silby), Wednesday, 20 March 2019 17:39 (five years ago) link
crypt of the necrodancer is good because it is actually a real roguelike under the rhythm mechanic, none of this rogue-lite nonsense
katana zero and creature in the well look various levels of interesting. blaster master zero 2 will be a good retro game like everything inti creates makes but i kinda got tired of those
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 20 March 2019 17:40 (five years ago) link
Vlambeer stuff
INCLUDING NUCLEAR THRONE ffs. it's available right now! buy it if you haven't played it already because it is AMAZING.

discovered I could use the weird points received on my 5 year work anniversary toward eshop gift cards. Got yoku, which is fun as promised.

weird points kick ass
― ciderpress, Thursday, 21 March 2019 13:09 (five years ago) link
pinball still so primally satisfying. I would never buy a straight pinball game, though. These things were likely said to pitch yoku, but they are true.

my partner has no interest in games and is pretty resistant to anything switch-related, but she really dug yoku

what is "roguelike"?
― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 21 March 2019 14:51 (five years ago) link
it's a game that's like "Rogue"

― koogs, Thursday, 21 March 2019 15:09 (five years ago) link
roguelikes are games with randomly generated levels and no saves/continues/permanent progression, when you die you start over from the beginning in a newly randomized world.
named after rogue, an ascii tile based dungeon crawler from the 80s that spawned many alike games before the term got widened to more styles of gameplay with modern indie games

does FFVII hold up ? I’ve never played it
― PaulDananVEVO (||||||||), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 19:42 (five years ago) link
not particularly? they lost a lot of the original art and such for 7-9 so they're not HD remasters, it's just scaled up 3d models on top of the original 322x244 prerendered backgrounds which doesn't look great imo. there's also a music bug in 7 and 9 that they infuriatingly never fixed from the PS4 releases
gameplay wise it's still alright but pretty glacial unless you use the speedup button they added into the rereleases
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 19:59 (five years ago) link
What’s the music bug?
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:08 (five years ago) link
iirc the overworld theme restarts after a battle so you only ever hear the first 30 seconds of it
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:12 (five years ago) link
yeah that. not just the overworld but any area so you never get to hear beyond 30 secs in any of the field/dungeon music
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:55 (five years ago) link
honestly the best way to play the game is gonna be via a modded pc version once they finish those fan patches that use machine learning to reconstruct the backgrounds in HD. they might already be available even, i'm not sure. and you also can get fan patches to fix the other bugs like the music one that have been introduced since the original release
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:57 (five years ago) link
it's still a classic game and all, it's just a lot of the appeal of those PSX FF games over their peers was spectacle and that part has aged poorly, both naturally and due to SE's poor preservation/ports
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 22:02 (five years ago) link
Yeah. When it came out, I remember me and most of my friends were really excited about the lengthy animation sequences for the summons. We’d watch them over and over again with patience because they looked so amazing. But now? Those summon animations better have a skip button! I haven’t replayed FFVII since the early 2000s, but I do worry that it wouldn’t hold up too well
