WC: If the movies can teach us one thing, it’s that everybody loves an underdog story. Rocky, Cool Runnings, Dodgeball… There’s countless tales where the guys who stood no chance actually came out on top. Perhaps they inspire us to shoot for greatness ourselves or maybe we simply grow attached to the downtrodden characters who desperately want to better themselves; whatever it is, we can’t get enough.
Video games have their own underdog heroes but, admittedly, they’re a lot harder to come across. After all, video game heroes are often impossibly bulky or hold fantastical abilities and powers; how on earth could they ever be considered the underdogs? Still, there are heroes out there who embody that ‘little guy’ spirit and not just in a physical sense.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
