No, you can fly it. The thing is, manually piloting your ship sounds like it’s not used for transportation, only for combat and docking/boarding other ships and space stations. But those things are apparently pretty fun.

This looks amazing. It’s time for psychedelic and dream imagery in video games to come back.

The ones that I find myself going back to the most in the last decade are indie classics. Hyper Light Drifter, Kerbal Space Program, FTL: Faster Than Light (I just realized all these titles sound similar, but they’re a 2D character action game, a spaceflight simulator/shipbuilder, and a very unique strategy game, respectively, and they’re all among the best in their genres). Also, as a horror game fan and a Resident Evil fan in particular, I keep replaying the Resident Evil 2 remake from 4 years ago; easily one of the best horror games ever made.

Didn’t Mercury Steam do a Metroid 2 remake for 3DS? Maybe they’re porting that to Switch to follow up on Dread’s success. I never owned a 3DS but I would love to play that.

It isn’t a given that a game company will always get to work on a new game right after they release one, much less two new games.

It’s making search engines useless, for one thing.

I don’t see them as replacing the originals, although I guess in a sense they are. It would be one thing if they weren’t as good as the originals, but they’re arguably better. I’ve been a Resident Evil fan since 1996, I thought the original was better than Resident Evil 2 (which was an unpopular opinion at the time), but right now, if you ask me the best game in the series that I’ve played so far? RE2 Remake. Don’t even really have to think about it much.

They’ve given out Loop Hero before, it’s a fun and unique roguelite but extremely grindy.

I pretty much agree, maybe if they’d managed to somehow capture the weird feel of Mario RPG’s prerendered sprites in real time it would have impressed me more? Not sure, but it definitely looked more generic than the original game in terms of graphical style. Plus I’m just not that excited to play it again for some reason, even though I loved the original.

However, Super Mario Wonder looked so creative, the surrealism drew me in and it seems like the perfect direction to take 2D Mario in. It’s the one game in that Direct that I saw and was like “I need to play this”.
