I'm 3 and a half hours into the DQ11 S demo on Switch, it's one hell of a demo. It feels like I've downloaded the full game and just need an unlock code to play the rest. I put it on the good tv and it looks great, seems like a great port.

Very stable framerate, nice lighting. Slightly soft looking with moonlight lighting and the outdoor open world bits are not as great looking as the cities and towns, or indoor areas. But overall it's very nice. Also looks good portably unlike XB2.

Game seems very simple though and the story and dialogue sound like it's for under 12 age range. It's a lovely looking and sounding world though, with bags of charm. It does all feel very.... un-interactive though? Like playing a game that is the equivalent of one of those old western hollywood sets, where it's just the front outside bit that is authentic.

Winnie the Pooh? WTF?

Who is making bank on that?

Children’s merchandise is apparently huge.  Look at Hello Kitty.

Winnie the Pooh has been one of the biggest licenses for infant and toddler clothing and toys for many years. It's super young child friendly and was considered a perfect non-gender specific character/series.

THE LION KING AND ALADDIN SNES/GENESIS TITLES GETTING HD REMAKES

If it is as good as the Ducktails remake that Robio gifted me then I approve.

I hate Winnie the Pooh and the extended WtP universe.

I'm surprised as Winnie the pooh is ancient compared to hello kitty.

New RE game! Eh it’s a multiplayer game for now titled Project REsistance. Seems to be a 4v1 online game, hopefully it’s like Outbreak.

Congrats on your part as the main character man!

Probably won't be. These look more like enhanced remakes whereas Duck Tales was pretty rebuilt ground up and updated with significantly more storytelling.

As far as the games themselves I think bith Aladdin games were good, with the SNES version being a little more fun and true to the feel of the movie whereas the Genesis version looked better but more swinging a sword around. Lion King was a pretty run of the mill action-platformer, but I didn't spend a ton of time with that so I could be remembering incorrectly.

Sega Genesis Aladdin was great. I'd buy an HD version of that one.

I must say that I too am surprised that Winnie the Pooh is that high up on the chart as well.

The bible would blow them all out of the water, and it's thousands of years older! The mormons alone are worth some 67 billion dollars, and they're one of the more niche bible franchises!

Excellent DF Video there on Astral Chain. Probably the best DF video they've ever made as it's not just resolution and framerate. They mix in an interview and verges into video review territory. Game looks pretty good. I'm not that into Platinum all action games so hearing about all the slower stuff and the Deus ex comparison is particularly pleasing. I'll pick it up at some point but I think I will get Fire Emblem first.
