The fact that we got a Mario RPG Remake, a Paper Mario TTYD Remake, and a brand new Mario and Luigi game in the span of a year is like a dream come true for me.

I know Vinny's audience usually despises the HD-2D graphics like Octopath and Live-a-Live, but those Dragon Quest remakes look delicious. Honestly it was a very fun direct. Thanks for the video.

[@sillycookie]

The colors look so good in the DQ remakes. My biggest gripe with the 2d/3d style was how dull and washed out the backgrounds were, and the heavy bloom effects. DQ looks like its colors are balanced nicely. It actually looks different from the others!

[@RealityMasterRogue]

it looks better with each release. m y main complaint now is just the name. it sounds so pretentious. "our 2d is better than your 2d", when the point is that its 2d sprites with 3d effects and sensibilities. 2D-3D would be a much better name

[@paperluigi6132]

@@RealityMasterRogueI’m guessing they’re waiting until they’ve essentially perfected the HD-2D (I’m still calling it that) artstyle before remaking Chrono Trigger.

[@catkaboodle]

Live A Live's remake had way better colors than Octopath 1. As another person pointed out, their style has been improving. I think some Gen Xers soured on Asano because they thought he was going to make the next "real" Final Fantasy game instead of the stuff he and his teammates have actually made. This accidental betrayal is, I suspect, the baggage Vinny is referring to whether he realizes it or not (for the record, I do not think he is one of the salty detractors).

[@StarkMaximum]

As someone who knows very little about the Hunters, Sylux was such a good pick because he just has that really cool look that makes him perfect for a game like this. He looks good in the trailer and he'll make a good villain/rival for Samus.

[@CaptainSamsquanch]

I don't quite understand vinny's concerns with prime 4. It has a big action set piece sure. Metroid prime 1 starts with a boss fight and an exploding spaceship. It's really not too different. The trailer ends with the most metroid prime looking metroid prime ass location and music. I don't want to sound too optimistic but I really really really doubt everyone involved suddenly forgot what metroid games are about. Metroid Prime remastered is also the best looking game on switch easily and runs at a perfect 60 on top of that. I just see no reason to doubt prime 4 currently.

[@czarsquid855]

I thought the trailer was very predictable. Show Samus leaving the ship, space pirates getting destroyed in the base, MORPH BALL, and end with the villain reveal. Compared to Metroid Dread's trailer it was underwhelming. Good thing it's only a trailer and the game should be fine.

Like...I hope people dont think every RPG remake is gonna be FF7R by any stretch of the imagination. Obviously, OT is the main culprit since it was generally received in a negative way, however they have only IMPROVED as the years gone by, we are in 2024 now and even the latest OT2 looks incredible. So does DQIII, and I am excited to see them push this design toward looking even better to hopefully get people to stop judging the visual design without actually giving it any fore-thought.

But I think if you inspect deeper than just the trailer and look at the dynamic lighting, and the small details (mainly in like OT2) you can really respect the effort it takes to make it. In the surface, while I understand it seemingly be lazy, there is so much more complexity to making sprite work mesh with 3D backgrounds correctly. An example of a bad use of HD-2D is the new Star ocean 2 remake, thay one wasn’t done by the studio but was inspired and is lacking a lot.

Did you miss the part where the game was restarted a year after announcement? It took a pretty reasonable 6 years of dev time to make.

[@CeHee123]

@superlagbro192 Yes, that is part of the development struggles. Imagine people working on it from the start, only to find out development is resetting, then having to spend so long on the game that the console you release it on is nearly at its end by the time it finishes. The fact it took so long to show any gameplay gives me the feeling they were really trying to make sure it was as good as possible. That's still a ton of work, and I hope every dev who worked on it gets to take it easy for a while. Prime 1 had a rough development cycle, and the og Dread planned for the ds (yes, different team, I know) too, so it seems that unfortunately, the series has a history with games getting into rough times.

I also think asking for 10, whilst lovely, is an overkill demand for a series that gets a game every few years. The quality would be all over the place, and I'd rather quality over quantity. All 7 of these look good, and I would rather 7 fleshed out boards than 10 boards where only half are actually good because they had to rush 10 out to meet the deadline. Its better than 4.

Genuinely shocked how not-big Vinny was on the new Zelda game, like it's not like the 2D top-down Zeldas are known for their amazing combat. It's just applying the sort of BotW/TotK freedom of puzzle-solving to the 2D style, it's no different from items like the Cane of Somaria from Link to the Past, which has the amazing ability of... spawning one whole block! Ooooh!

[@Zangelin]

Vinny plays zelda for sword.

[@evilriku1336]

I do have to say... I dont want too much open worldness in my Zelda titles too, like I miss my classic Zelda titles with elaborate dungeons done in order and getting new key items which help exploring the world more then.. go wherever you want from the start of the game with little to no limitations. Like I'm kinda sick/be hatin' on the post Skyward Sword era of Zelda titles.

[@diegomedina9637]

Also even when Gameplay for Breath of the Wild was revealed back in E3 2016 they just used Wii U footage instead of Switch footage before the Switch was even announced. So why would Nintendo just randomly show Switch 2 footage when they haven't even revealed the console.

[@CreamusG]

People dismissing a game instantly for its graphics is so unfortunate. I think we need to bring back the "graphics don't matter" campaign.

[@catkaboodle]

It never left. The Switch is the epitome of that philosophy. The problem is that a lot of the Americans who say that stuff are just talking about their country's corporate devs (ex: Activision) hoovering up resources from indie devs and not about HD games themselves. Hence we have Vinny complaining about "bad graphics" in a AAA game so he can complain about a Japanese corporate dev not making the type of console he expects as an 80s kid.

[@alexandercorbett1147]

Real. Most of us didn't wait 7 years for Metroid Prime 4 just for people to complain it's not 30fps even though it already looks impressive for the Switch, frame rate aside. Graphics should matter a bit, just so it doesn't look too ugly, but not be the whole reason the game exists.

[@blueyosh43]

Graphics, and by extension art direction, character design, and everything else that comes with that absolutely matter. Same with the sound design, plot if it has one. I don't care what the gameplay is like if a game is ugly as fuck with annoying music. If your favorite game was turned visually into a garfield shovelware game for the wii but with the same exact gameplay, you would say it isn't worse?

[@catkaboodle]

@@blueyosh43 I would say that the Garfield game is an underrated gem that people are sleeping on because of the graphics and the subject matter. That said, all of my favorite games were made before 9/11, so a Wii version of any of them would technically be an upgrade.

I don't get what's blinding Vinny to the new Zelda game. It is much less of a departure than BotW was, "completely different"? If BotW can throw out the whole lock-n-key structure of the overworld exploration, the dungeon crawling, the item collection etc and still be a Zelda game, why does what is essentially a traditional 2D Zelda swordless run not get the same? Weird perception.

[@FierceDeity35]

It's basically loz without a sword. It's not like Link never wielded magic before. Power rings, canes, staffs, techniques, strange foods, spells.

[@That_Doctor_Del_Fella]

The only anime games I've ever really enjoyed are the old DBZ arcade fighting games. I can't speak on anything Fairy Tail because it never I was never interested in watching it. Even other more modern anime I actively follow wouldn't interest me in game form. I saw the show. Maybe read the manga. Thats good enough for me. If you enjoy those games, I'm happy for you that another one is coming.

7 boards is literally above average...for a Mario Party game. Most of them have 6. Mario Party 1 has 8 which is an outlier and Mario Party 9 has...7.

[@patrickshaw411]

And 1’s boards are pretty controversial.

[@wumpyjumps]

Everyone keeps complaining about the boards and it confused me because I'm used to people attacking Mario Party for diverging from the past, especially when people compared previous new games in the series with 4 or 5 boards to past ones (where apparently 6 is great but 5 is abhorrent). But now there's a game with 7, suddenly we need 10. I'm all for more boards but it annoys me the focus on quantity over quality in terms of discussion, along with how people kept comparing to the past and only now compare to something like Mario Kart with 96 courses.

[@Max25670]

Hoping for more DLC throwback boards. But with that being said, people are ignoring the fact that there's 110 mini games, and mini games are the best part of mario party. Also additional game modes. I think this game has enough going for it for it's initial release.
