See, all this talk about Zelda HD remasters. People kept going on about Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD getting ported, and now BotW? Boring people, the lot of them. This is the actual Zelda game that needs a HD remaster: Thanks to NSO, playing Four Swords the proper way has never been easier, and it's an absolute riot! Trust me on this, this game is wayyyyy more fun then the GBA one, which is very impressive. Put this out there, have online capabilities, make Tetra's Trackers available in all regions. Bam! Best Zelda game! If you're not counting games that aren't on Switch... Smash Ultimate runs great, and it looks great, which makes it a weird choice in the traditional sense of a remaster. The main reason I want it to get a Switch 2 remaster is because it has 89 characters! Even without the licensing hell of some of the third party characters involved, you're just not getting that miracle roster in a new entry. Character cuts in Smash sucks. If there was any series I'd want Nintendo to make a forever game like Fortnite out of, it's this one. Seriously, just look at the trademarks on the title screen. It's so surreal. -
There's been a lot of talk about a Breath of the Wild Remastered at or around launch, I'm guessing akin to something like Spider-Man Remastered where it might be accessible via an upgrade path as well as sold as its own SKU, and similar to Spidey, it was supposedly shown off behind closed doors to the press back at Gamescom 2023. If it were to become a reality, assuming you enjoyed Breath of the Wild (there are...like five of us on here, but still ) do you think you'd pick up a Remastered version of the game engineered to show off the Switch 2's strengths? And for those that didn't: are there any particular Switch games you'd like to see get visually remastered for Switch 2? Or do you just want to see them boost games to utilise the Switch 2 as is where possible, and would rather they didn't have unique Remaster SKUs on Switch 2? -
I just wish Grandia's sprite work wasn't so mangled in the HD collection. They look a lot nicer in the original version.

Updated the first post with your pledge progress @Hero-of-Time, great stuff already getting your second pledge game cleared! been fun reading your thoughts on Grandia, and appreciate you sharing clips and pics as you've been going through as for whatever reason I only had the game's cover art stuck in my head, but no real idea of what the game itself looked like. With your recommendation it's definitely getting filed in my head as one to make sure I get to...eventually @Happenstance your Yakuza 0 timing has been uncanny; one of my friends is finally committing to playing through a copy of 0 I bought him during lockdown after trying here and there (albeit very half-arsed) to get through it in the past, and just last night when discussing it with him and my Yakuza/RGG-loving friend, we very nearly joined him. It's certainly put Infinite Wealth at the front of my mind, that's for sure! looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Rebirth when it drops on PC next week too!

Did you ever get around to starting this up H-o-T? Anyways, to explain how I got here – I finally got to a point in The Witcher 3 I've never got to before: the game started to feel like it was getting good. It took, like, 13 hours for that to finally happen, and I absolutely understand why I and others have dropped the game after several attempts at getting into it, but still. There are good things and bad things about those 13 hours - which I'm sure I'll get into at some point - BUT, what really stood out, was that the combat in that game sucks ass. In fact, the combat in The Witcher 3 sucks ass so much that it genuinely had me craving a game with any semblance of combat which was good fun. Hence, a second copy of Fires of Rubicon arriving at my door this morning I thought there was a decent chance I'd buy a second copy of Armored Core VI this year, but I didn't think it'd be so soon. So, with lessons learned from Persona 3 Reload last year about when to put a game down and when to go with the wants of my gaming gut, I've put The Witcher 3 down for a bit to tear into some good ol' mech combat and revisit ACVI. And I'm having a blast – I mean, that shouldn't be too surprising considering it was nearly my 2023 GOTY, but still! Last time I went with the pilot name Galileo (because, ya know, guy who discovered a bunch of planets, seemed fitting) and naming my ACs after the Knights of the Round Table; this time around, I've gone with the pilot name Ozymandias, and am thus naming my ACs after ancient and/or fabled cities which might have been the works we'd be looking on and supposedly despairing over. Currently I'm on the v3 build of my Jericho AC... ...where I'm using the reverse joint legs to allow for a greater weight limit while also keeping some of the speed of my favourite builds from my last playthrough, especially in dodging, allowing me to bypass some of the weak points of my Tristan build on the last page by having much more capable munitions on board. I didn't use the reverse joints much, if at all, on my last playthrough, so it's been fun to try a new type of build, and I think I might try the tank treads at some point - which I also never tried last time out - too. And yeah, I've just unlocked the Songbirds, so the game is about to become real breezy for this build. I'm about 3 hours in and I've just completed Chapter 1 and downed for the first time against a boss in Balteus, which, eh, is fine, it was only the once, and it was Balteus. I thought I'd hit Up on the D-pad to repair but forgot that when you're stunned that it doesn't register (even to apply the repair a bit delayed once you're no longer stunned) and so got taken out after thinking I was supposed to be healing. Whoops! Also finished the Arena up to and including E rank so far, as well as all the Training missions. Not quite sure how far I intend on going with this playthrough. Is it just NG? NG+? NG++? Am I going for the Plat again? I genuinely have no clue. I'm not even sure I get straight back to The Witcher 3 after this, whatever the case, purely because one of my mates is very far ahead and I'm in no real rush to get through it, whereas another has dropped off TW3 to finally play Yakuza 0 and is loving it, so Infinite Wealth had been very much on my mind (also spotted @Happenstance playing 0 too!). My group kind of agreed as a collective it was a good idea to get through The Witcher 3 together, and it has helped two of us to push on and see it through to a point where it starts to finally click, but we've also agreed in retrospect that agreeing to play a game as undemanding and long as that in January of all months might not have been the best idea. Whatever I choose to do with this and what I play next, so long as I'm having good fun with it, I'm on the right track
