Bilbo 3,709 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It hit at the perfect time for me. I was hooked and it was huge. I had the cards and the first two generations of games. Loved the TV show and the first two movies. But then I outgrew it. Nostalgia made me curious and I picked up Sword and enjoyed it but I prefer the first games and the original Pokémon. I’m very much a casual fan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The game boy games were great in their simplicity. The modern games are a classic case of ruining a great concept with too many complications and needless baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there’s a unique mechanic for catching Pokémon that uses the motion controls but I haven’t played them yet so I’m not sure. It wasn’t kept for Sword and Shield.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Besides that and not being able to use the pro controller, it's still pretty straightforward. I liked those games way better than Sword and Shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's motion controls for catching when on the TV, but you can't use a pro controller, and it's button controls in handheld mode. Neither TV nor handheld lets you use the pro.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 It should be pretty simple to do, especially since they know so much about which controller you're using they can tell you which color it is.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I watched the trailer for the canceled Wii port of the Rogues. While it's still cool, the motion controls would have been lame for those already Problematic non-flying levels. Those really were the games that brought SW games into the current generation in actually resembling the movies more accurately without blocky textures and a gamey look. The authenticity was through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I played the first two worlds of a really fun puzzle game called Fire 'N Ice on the NES Online app this morning. It's a sequel (prequel in terms of story) to Solomon's Key. If you've ever played Solomon's Key (which was one of those 80s arcade games that was ported to every platform under the sun), just expect more of that basically, but the graphics are very colorful and attractive. This was a very very late NES game and it looks fantastic. One thing I love about the online apps is that I get to try all these games that I would *never* buy on Virtual Console and sometimes have a pretty good time with them! Just look at that gorgeous world map and actual gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,336 Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 The difference in graphics between early NES games and late NES games is really striking. They really learned how to get everything they could out of that hardware. The relatively muted colors of Super Mario 1 are so different from the bright and colorful Super Mario 2 and 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I dunno, I'm really happy with the Wii games are specifically in my wheelhouse (platformers). Galaxy 1 and 2 are classics, and sorry to the haters but I still really enjoy NSMB Wii (single player only). Plus DKCR is really fun (even if not as good as Tropical Freeze), Wario Land Shake It is very underrated and Kirby's Return to Dreamland and Epic Yarn are both great Kirby games (although Woolly World greatly perfected the yarn game).
