Despite passing 100 retro games in its store, an Earthbound Nintendo Switch Online release is still not happening as Spanky's Quest and Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 drop on Switch.
Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!
Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.
Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.
I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
Many indies try to capture the magic of Nintendo's urban RPG, but the game that comes closest is SEGA's crime drama, Yakuza: Like A Dragon.
IGN writes: Mother 3 is one of the most hotly-desired RPGs ever, having never received an official translation in North America despite the cult popularity of its predecessor, Earthbound. But over all these years, series creator Shigesato Itoi has never weighed in on the discussion - at least until now."
A translated version of this game on Switch Online would be nice, and it would add a lot value to the Expansion Pak service.
I would love to see an Earthbound game just redone with 3D-ish models and characters. Just having a remaster for Switch Online would be awesome!
Did you ever see the Earthbound 64 concept/materials? That actually looked really good, but I'd also take a HD-2D remake as well.
Nintendo seems very whimsical about what they give they're fans, sometimes they'll give them a bone (e.g. Mario RPG, Thousand Year Door for the Switch), and other times, they just give them little to nothing (agh, the Zelda anniversary).
When you consider the cost of gaming back then and even now, no excuses when costs are involved.
A full remake in the style of legend of mana with a more suitable art style should've been done by now. Problem is Ninty doesn't listen and doesn't care to listen.
who is making these decisions? Seriously, it almost feels personal at this point.
This is shit. How hard would it be for them to give Earthbound the Links Awakening treatment?! I cannot fathom the switch not having the same retro releases as the wii and even the Wii u. How the Wii u Got much better support for new titles is beyond me! Most of the switch releases from first party are rereleased Wii u games! Their worst selling system gets the most support?! It's like they're making their fans pay for not supporting the Wii u
Dumb-asses, but this is Nintendo this should be expected. 😀
Never liked Earthbound. They should put it on the service at some point however. That said I don't think we need articles like this everytime there's a update to the service that doesn't include Earthbound. Thank god the put the DKC games on there because it was in the same boat. Anyway I can see why they had that Robot Chicken sketch where Reggie used a fire flower on a Mother fan. Its still relevant today. Lmao
