Just a heads up in case someone else was interested in the game and didn't know about this.
Axiom Verge is going to be available for free in the Epic Games store for two weeks between February 7th and 21th.

I remember some people were describing this game when it originally came out like a good Metroid-like type of game, so I am definitely interested in trying this game.
I don't know if it lives to its hype but so far I have the idea that it holds a reputation of being a well done game.

hey, guys another video up showcasing the Ocarina songs and some of the Temple of Time

Oh look, cloudy weather. I wonder how long before the internet starts fai-

Hey Claraviolet.
Awesome to see you here. :D

Nintendo is woke.

I dunno how much you'd consider this a meme. But this one tends to pop up in my head while having certain conversations.

Oh, I see. That makes sense. Haha.

Do we need to turn off Post Approval on this forum? So anyone can post?

Yeah, I am not even sure why this section got it activated if it is just a normal forum.
It'd make more sense if you wanted to prevent in say, the areas linked to the website,

Saria looks like she really needs a hug. Haha

Seriously though, it is nice to see how far it is getting. This is basically all of the first dungeon.
And that arrangement for the battle music is really neat. The game needs a lot of polish but no wonder why people are following the project since it is looking pretty nice and has been going on for years. It is also pretty nice the author lets you try out what they've got so far.

Isn't this the same person that made that Kakariko Village video a while ago? I think that's what got a lot of people curious and made him decide to go more seriously with the project. I am assuming this, of course, I could be very wrong.

Hahaha. I find it funny the title is Rules and the content is basically, we're hiring article writers.

You know that is probably more likely, and wasn't really something I considered. Still, I'd just love to see the Gamecube library conveniently accessible once more.

Oh, I definitely think it would be a great move. there were a lot of good games and finding them physically is harder, let alone memory cards. There's a lot of bootleg going on which I had no idea until a friend tried to get a "new" one online. Like you said, that is one library that hasn't been touched for a virtual console at all, so it'd be cool to have it.

I can take SNES, GB/GBC/GBA games on a "rental" basis. Gimme my damn zelda games that I can buy :p

I think it'd be a matter of time we get most of the Wii U playable ones into the switch.

In general the rental basis would be fine if it was a proper library rather than just the most popular titles. If Nintendo were to release for far more consoles than just the NES and a lot more games than just the same 50 ones they already did in their minis it can become a lot more compelling. Even if it was it's own thing and not a perk for the Online service for Switch.

Just a heads up about something I found out today the help page of Nintendo.
If you are thinking in not renewing straight away the Nintendo Online Service, just be aware that they will keep your data for a bit less than half a year.

Those SNES titles seem to include those in the SNES mini. I know I sound spoiled right now but hope they add more variety because that make it a bit of a pointless reward for the people who bought the classic mini.

The rumours on the other two emulators to be N64 or GC seem a bit far-fetched to me. Don't get me wrong, I agree it would be cool to have access to GameCube titles. I think it would be smart from Nintendo and I am not saying that you are, but I have seen others sites run with the speculation almost as a certainty when in reality they don't know at all what the emulators are about. For all we know they might be just roundabouts for specific games.

I think they would probably implement N64 and GC, one at the time, in order to ensure it is working well. Putting emulation for those consoles when their service is being rubbish at keeping two people connected to play 8bits games if they don't happen to be neighbours, sounds like more headaches for them.

If I am to speculate on what other consoles those could be, my guess would be going for the ones that are similar to NES and SNES graphics, like the Gameboy / color or maaaaybe Advance.

Whatever it is, I hope they do talk about this soon enough.

This is amazing news. I am so happy. Though I guarantee it wont release until it is time for everyones yearly Switch membership to expire :p

I so thought in you mentioning this in the last thread when I hard about this data mining, hahaha.
So the service started on September 28. That means we'd have 8 more months of them dripping 2-3 NES games.
Sounds about right. The NES collection could be a little something by then.

Yeah, it is not a big deal but it is still a pretty neat detail.

You can skip to around minute seven.

Oh, that sounds like a very interesting game. I had't heard of it before. I am glad you explain to us about the levels. It sounds like it is a game that has something to communicate and is ready to break some gaming paradigms. From what you say I definitely would like to try it out some time.

I'd be nice to discuss it here.

Quote from Link

I cannot wait until they unveil the SNES game system that I guarantee will roll out just when it is time for people to renew their membership.

With the way they have been doing things lately, that sounds very very likely.
I definitely hope they bring SNES games.

The release schedule for their NES Online service this month is only two games. Blaster Master and, of course, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
They will become available on January 16.

Considering that the original The Legend of Zelda has been already released with the service, it is not surprise they are now bringing us the second zelda game originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Well Im sexist so I have never played the female character :p

Oh, so you didn't have to use her at all. That's good. I had the impression the game would force you to play the girl anyway.

A youtuber going by the nick SKELUX recently made a video where he explained he wanted to discover the "minus" worlds of different NES games. He decided to start with the original The Legend of Zelda.

It is important to point out you cannot simply pop up the game and be able to access it. He had to check the actual code for several hours in order to manually remove the instructions put as a measure to prevent people from reaching it.

The name "minus world" comes because each couple of levels in Super Mario Bros. are called "world". You start in World 1-1 and keep progressing. However by causing a glitch it is possible to get into a warp pipe you aren't supposed to, which will make the game try to load the nonexistent world 36 -1. However this will be displayed for users as "WORLD -1".

To be frank with you, "world" is very loosely used here. Basically it is calling to a space in the memory that wasn't mean to exist. Because the game has to display something it will pull from the assets and build what you see. So that's basically breaking the game. There's most likely nothing you'll find that was intentionally done by the developers. For the first games it was common not to use negative numbers. Most games made sure in their code to prevent people from trying to load anything outside the boundaries.

That said, it can be pretty interesting to see the exploration of these quasi worlds. In his video, Skelux explains how the minus world works and gives a tour around. Prepare for a world where you can stab the old man and walk through walls.

Was the world anything close to what you were expecting?

Assassins Creed is a pretty interesting series and the first games, were on its time pretty interesting. These first ones are far from perfect but it seems they got a nice formula they have kept running with it. I find odd they like so much their boats though. That made sense in one of the games but it feels a bit shoehorned in other games.

I agree with you regarding the character they killed off in the third game. It seemed like a cheap shock, rather than making sense with the story. I honestly wondered what was going to be of the series because of it.

I haven't played Odyssey nor the last game in the series. I heard high praise for, Origins and this one has gotten my interest. I recall they made a huge noise over having a female character to choose from.

Too bad my economical situation and hearing some mixed opinions has made me put Odyssey a few spaces below other titles in my "To buy" list.

How's the swapping between girl and guy working out?

Between those two, which one do you reckon I should give priority?

As for going on a tangent, well, this community has been more like a good chat between friends so skirting tangential topics is not big deal. And of course, that is such a good feeling when you find a game that leaves you so impacted that you feel compelled to buy a whole new system because you know it will be worth it. That's how I got my Nintendo 64, Seeing bits of OoT made me want badly to play that game and I wanted nothing more strongly than those for my birthday.

I am enjoying so far. I am mostly doing the adventure mode. A lot of people call it lazy, but while I understand they wanted something more cinematic like Brawl offered, the map fights show some care to craft them, there are even sub-hub worlds that mimic some classic games. I don't want to spoil much but it is a pretty nice nod. Many of the fights you can see they were made related to the spirit you're trying to get.
I know people didn't liked but I enjoyed they made the fights with the challenging fighters tougher. It was exciting and since they gave us a chance to rematch them and it brought me back the satisfaction of defeating them with an unprepared character, haha. I heard it is patched now so they should be easier to get and not as frustrating for many.

There are some things that I don't like as much, mostly related to online mode.
It is sad I can't go online with my partner against just one person.
You can choose your rules but there is not a warning or notification when the main conditions you chose weren't meet in order for you to choose if you with it or not.
Lag is still prevalent in some matches.
