I discovered the same thing playing Metroid: Zero Mission on my recently purchased Anbernic 351V. Playing around in the RetroArch options, I accidentally found the filter that emulates the original GBA screen, and was amazed by how more natural the colours looked. Even as someone that never owned a GBA, I appreciated…

Hey, this is Kotaku. Shouldn’t you stick to video games, not sports?

I have the Galactus that was a Legends Build-a-Figure from years ago. That’ll have to do, cuz I don’t have the $400 to spend on this right now.

Sorry, that was just an assumption on my part. I’ve never tried to get an amiibo day one before. I just knew that - around when they first became a thing anyway - by the time I realized that I wanted to collect some of them, they were all gone. It doesn’t change the fact that if someone wanted to buy them later down…

And it would already be bullshit if it were a $16 DLC for this ability. But at least it would be available to everyone that wanted it. Instead of DLC though, it’s a physical item - a physical item that Nintendo doesn’t make enough of, sells out immediately, and can only be bought from scalpers that charge exorbitant…

A favourite of mine from back in the day. Definitely some fond memories of this. But I believe I read that they’re charging $30 for it? That’s $40 in Canadian. Seems a bit steep for a nostalgia hit. I’ll wait for a sale.

Humans are complicated animals. It’s entirely possible for a greedy company that falsely advertises their games and denies developers bonuses while the owner pockets millions to still have enough morals to promote trans rights. I’m not saying you’re wrong, just saying it’s possible. Even the worst assholes in the…

Besides the lack of backwards compatibility for systems older than the PS4, this is the main feature I hope Sony eventually catches up to Microsoft with. PlayStation’s why-bother-with-old-games attitude is starting to annoy me, especially with the lack of games with new-gen versions out right now.

Same here. I wait for the next one to come out, then buy the previous version.

It is kinda wild. But the version of Sakura Succubus on Switch would be the standard version that you’d get on Steam, without the 18+ patch. Same with all the Nekopara games. They’re actually all on PlayStation as well, all rated T for Teen. So obviously not the full uncut versions.

I don’t know if it’s a regional thing or not, but Waifu Uncovered is partially censored on Switch in North America. They allow the boobies, but the crotches are always covered.

Yup. About 6 years ago the Canadian dollar started taking a nosedive, and AAA game prices started going up in $5 increments until they hit $80 about a year later. A couple of years after that, the PlayStation Store even started to adjust the exchange rate on lower priced games, so a $20 indie title became $27, a $40…

Look - I hope I’m wrong. I like Housemarque quite a bit, and don’t want to see anything bad happen to them, especially after they had to stop making the arcade-style games they were known for because they weren’t selling. That’s the history I don’t want to see repeat.

I’m not one of them. But I’ll admit that I might be a special case. I just think if they priced this one a little lower (and it turns out to be a really good game), every PS5 owner would be grabbing this up. As it is, I think they’re limiting their audience a bit, in an audience that isn’t as big as it could be due to…

Yeah, I have a huge backlog myself, which means that it doesn’t bother me much to wait for a game to drop in price. My PS5 has been pretty much a PS4 Pro with snappier menus since I got it.

Metroid elements are a good way to get me interested in a game as well. Really curious to see the reviews on this one to see how much Metroid is in there.

I feel bad for Housemarque. I think there’s gonna be a lot of people interested in this game, but very few people are gonna buy it day 1 once they see the price tag.

Housemarque has always had really good gun mechanics in their games, and there aren’t too many third-person shooter roguelikes out there.

Noice.

I wish FromSoft would try a similar tactic with their games - just with difficulty, not horror elements. Some people would like to experience the worlds they’ve created, without the punishing difficulty.
