Do you remember the original Resident Evil 4 being letterboxed in a 4:3 aspect ratio? Was it criticized for it?

Wii version is like GameCube version. 640x360... and the widescreen just zoom it.

I didn't even remember it was letterboxed till I played it again last year, so mustn't have been a big issue. There was a good reason the game had mandatory widescreen anyhow: they didn't want to put Leon in the centre of the screen like contemporary third-person shooters, as that would obscure the things you're shooting at.

My only gripe with the game is that, despite what the box says, the "campaing" is only 1 player, super star and Dreamlad 3 were 2 players, and Goemon's great adventure on N64 had 2 players and was in 3d, so why not Kirby 64?.

I don't get why you wouldn't just get a chinkheld.
Why murder a GBC with mods?
Why bother with FPGA for a system that emulates perfectly as it is?
Yeah, the screen on the Pocket is nice, but the thing is practically irreparable given Analogue doesn't sell parts. Not to mention the support on their side is absolutely garbage. It's 2024 and you still can't remap buttons, letting you put start and select on the X and Y buttons for GBC, something OpenFPGA lets you do.
Hell, the base functionality is there, on GBA you can choose to make X and Y the L and R buttons.
Then there's the issue with wiping Pokemon saves. I put FireRed cart into sleep mode by accident instead of turning it off and my save was deleted. Latest firmware too.
Luckily I keep regular backups but that was half a game's worth of progress gone because I accidentally used a stock feature.

There's OpenFPGA which is basically a ROMloader

Using carts is nice, I guess. Especially if you already have your childhood carts. I also have this weird autism/OCD with Pokemon where I like to use carts or it doesn't feel 'legit', which is fucking weird because I don't have that attitude towards anything else.

the music is so good, the characters are very distinct, the story is literal insanity blowing my mind watching the northern crater fuckery go down, tifa and cloud exploring cloud's mind in this abstract as shit segment
never something I would have expected from an rpg from the 90s
and the gameplay is this great tried and true lego playset snapping orbs from one character to the next messing around constantly experimenting
so much side content too with meaningful rewards

I briefly tried it. Had to put the left analog/dodge controls to "sensitive" to even get the dodge to come out. There's a number of moves but they're hard to pull off.

Aside from that the game has pretty good graphics and Nina looks sexy...it's very hard to control though and I'm pretty forgiving about that kind of stuff.

I'm playing on emulator and after a while I just started using save states a lot because the game has a lot of platforming and it's really easy to mess up and be sent back quite a way which got a bit annoying.

Starts out really cool, but shits the bed by the third or fourth dungeon. There's a room in a volcano dungeon that has the rocks randomly shuffled around, forcing you to leave and re-enter the room multiple times to generate the right path you can get through, and it's either the final dungeon or the one just before that has an invisible maze set behind a floor of solid black.

Genuinely, why do people hate it?

The lack of an item box and having to command a second character makes the game more busy, which after playing REmake on autopilot for years, is a nice change of pace, and it's sort of why I suspect people who only ever play Jill in RE1 with her 8 inventory slots instead of suffering as Chris with his 6.

Really, my only problem was how difficult some of the puzzles were, which only were difficult because I'm trying to rush the game and not spending 10 hours on finding a single solution. (For example the animal puzzle I'm sure I could have figured out if I gave it a good crack)

Because it's basically REmake but not as good, and the added on partner mechanic just isn't very interesting or engaging, it feels haphazardly tacked on and serves so little purpose. The best parts of the game is the train, which actually works pretty well (and looks stunningly good even by 2024 standards), but it's like they ran out of steam after that and had to force themselves to fill out the game.
Rebecca is really cute too, but she's also cute in the other titles.

RE0 is far from the worst in the series, it's not anywhere close, the game is basically ok, but it's not really worth seeking out, and it's not worth replaying. You could just play REmake instead (or any of the classic games), and they're gonna be much more fun.

This game really impressed me. It's probably as close to a flawless execution of its concept as you could expect given that it was the first of its kind.
It's kinda jank in the combat department, but thankfully the combat's not too demanding, and once you learn to avoid getting stunlocked it's decently serviceable. The atmosphere's great and the puzzles are very reasonable and even satisfying overall; the only one that feels somewhat obtuse was how to deal with the evil tree at the very end of the game. I can definitely see myself replaying it at some point.

Yeah, I don't understand what they were thinking with the second game when they basically ditched everything that made the first game good and made it more actiony.
I don't remember much about the third one gameplay wise, but at least it had an interesting premise.
