Re: Wild Blue Skies Contains 100% of Your Star Fox RDA Without the Nintendo Tax

I tried the demo and will wait for the Switch port as my laptop could not run it at a consistent frame rate, even at a low resolution. The controls don't feel smooth and I thought the boss took way too long, unless I was doing it wrong somehow or just playing poorly. The button mapping is very different from Star Fox 64's and (like Agent 64) it would've been nice to have a "classic" control style, but it's not a massive issue. Overall, I thought the demo was just OK, but the game's user reviews are mostly positive, so I might give it a shot at that price. Also, you reminded me that I haven't played much of Ex-Zodiac yet.

I've played it for a couple of hours so far and it's really fun! One slight issue I have with it is that you can't cycle weapons backwards by pressing the fire button whilst cycling, meaning you have to go through all your weapons to get to the weapon behind your current one when using a controller. This is especially annoying when you have a lot of weapons. Also, the game uses four face buttons so it can't be played with an N64 controller. Other than those small gripes, this has been very enjoyable. I haven't played the multiplayer yet.

There are certainly a lot of these games, a decent amount of which are on my wishlist, and the ones I have played are all great! I also find the term "boomer shooter" to be a bit weird, but I guess it's because "boomer" is internet slang for anything old.
UZDoom is my go-to source port for the Doom engine games. I'd also recommend Chocolate Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Strife to people who want a vanilla-like experience that's not just DOSBox. It's also great for testing your own maps to see if they're vanilla-compatible.

I have six unplayed games on Steam: Baba Is You, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Eastward, Half-Life 2 and To the Moon. I'll get around to them eventually. I have many games that I've played for a few hours but haven't finished.

@Damo Was this site mentioned anywhere? I just happened to find it by clicking on the PC version of Doom: The Dark Ages from my games page on Nintendo Life.
