@Spider-Kev unless I missed it they missed the second day and now I’m here missing a gap and “deciding” if I should pay for (let’s be honest - beyond destropolis and Nova-111) crap to get more crap or just move on.

@BaldB3lper78 Yeah sure 🙄

@eldersnake yes definitely, I hope the cross gen between switches isn’t too long for that reason but realise there’s a lot of switch 1’s out there so it probably will be.

Prime 4 looks beautiful, until you get on the bike at least!

@BTB20 and yet no one's cared about it a month later.

Everyone went to see Avatar 2 because the first movie was so famous. After they saw it ... No one cared.

There are a few reasons for it, but overall Avatar just ... Isn't capable of reaching multimedia cultural phenomenon status.

Yeah this was not a good game lmao 🤣

@Novuscourvous That is not true at all .This game has been marketed more than any Nintendo game for 8 years.

I really hate that they slapped the Fire Emblem name on this game. It's so bad. The gameplay is horrible. I played roughly an hour before deciding it was not for me. I hope they refrain from using it for future mobile games.

@Lizuka Event-only things, huh?

I was definitely going to be looking for Furfrou forms in this one, but is there any chance you can get a pokeball-design Vivillon in this?

Does this add couch co-op?

EDIT: Gonna go with "no." The eshop page is misleading.

This, alone, of it's actually a good update, might be nearly worth giving in and buying a Switch 2 – I've been holding off until an announced release date for Xenoblade 4, but Divinity is awesome.

@Krlozgod I’d pretty confidently say Fates is a bad game.

For me the chatty NPCs and the pastel/light color palleted isn't for me. Doesn't feel like the isolation and dread you feel in the ot trilogy.

Never heard of it. I tend to ignore mobile game news, so I probably just don't remember.

I’m honestly baffled how popular the Avatar movies are. I really don’t see any standout qualities in them.

I must admit I freely felt like a bit of a plonka that I'd put so much of my justification into getting a Switch 2 for Metroid Prime 4 when it's a Switch 1 title as well, but honestly I'm not really regretting it, it looks and runs so superbly at 120fps it's quite a treat.

I feel that, for games actually optimized properly for it, we'll see even more impressive games and/or ports on the Switch 2 in future.

I actually am waiting to pick up MINDSEYE on a sale. Played the demo/trial on PS5 and I threw on some Bond music and rolled. Had a lot of fun. The driving mechanics are solid.

It did seem pretty abysmal from the 15 minutes I spent on it, it has very little in common with the Fire Emblem gameplay and it just feels like they used the name just cause the series does already have a successful mobile game.

@Oldstalk What are you talking about?

@MeloMan The thing about X9 is that the X series had a lot more ups and downs in terms of quality, which was never the case for the classic series. I imagine Capcom is scared of doing X9 because it doesn't want a repeat of X5, X6 and X7.

Even though X8 fixed some of the issues from the past games, I'm of the opinion that the game is still a significant step-down from the SNES era. That series needs to go back to the basics and ditch some of the "improvements" such as the ranking system that plagued the latter games. And make the games shorter. X8's search for the metals was cumbersome as was unlocking all the characters' parts in the shop and their ridiculous requirements. It became a slog. X1 was simple: heart tanks, sub tanks and armor parts. Keep it simple.

@TheWokesterGamer No, I'm talking about the Hobbit one. The cosy game

If only 8Bitdo would make that Dreamcast one at their normal $90 to $100 range.

@Alex79uk They are all trash and even if they're not then likely they are just trash port of those that are already good like Sonic and Rayman, those game are always good but they don't originate on mobile. Any game that had gacha, is free to play, had in-game ads, had micro-transaction, is a live service, was made with phone in mind, or had loot box are automatically trash by default.

The only game I've heard of on that list, and played none of them. Mark me safe.

@BaldB3lper78 Bet you never even played the game.

@thenikdavies that came out 2 years ago i believe

I was so excited to wake up that day and see a new mobile Fire Emblem game.. only to realize it was TRASH two minutes into playing.

@DennyCrane Aw man, that's a shame. But, true. Has he written works outside of film before?

@Anachronism I love this game, great gameplay and graphics and only occasionally let down but the rendering. I just can’t get over how underappreciated it is!

@krogp Just admit you are a broke gamer that expects to be handed everything for free.

I don't think FE Shadows is too bad when you're at higher ranks but I do not understand who it was made for. It's not the worst game to come from this franchise.

@molkom Thank you!

I enjoyed MP4 Beyond but honestly, I think it could have done with one more temple/dungeon and boss fight. The game was good but felt a little short compared to the previous 3 Prime games.

@arrmixer Yes! Your wallet will be lighter to carry around

In more seriousness, I can’t see any benefit.

I'll grant that I hated Engage, but Three Houses was fantastic and Fortune's Weave looks a lot closer to that so I'm not inclined to completely write off the series at the moment by any means.

a 4/10 being the 5th worst game of the year either speaks either to a huge increase in the standards of video game releases, or a reluctance by games media to even review truly terrible games to begin with.

The Nintendo mags of old would be littered with 10-40% scores simply because it was feasible back then to review every single game that hit the platform.

@ElRoberico Yeah its pretty crazy how high you can fly. You can even fly above the clouds during a storm and see them raging below you.

Is there any benefit from getting the switch 2 version vs getting the switch 1 with the free upgrade?

@nessisonett same thing happened with Fates and people didn’t like it as much as Awakening. But neither Fates nor Engage are bad games.

@DennisReynolds I was going to comment on something about them waiting for a more complete version, but you hit the nail on the head. It's a super dense game, and I completely forgot about how high the literal game ceiling is. I've been recently playing Horizon Forbidden West, a first party Sony game, and Avatar still manages to make flying truly feel like you're in the skies vs just hovering above the ground. Ubi did it a lot better on the same hardware.

@Smithicus And it's still going to make a ton of money, especially since it's reviewing well.

This trailer is the right feel for a movie like this. People need to realize that with a franchise like Street Fighter, any live action film adaptation needs to lean into the campiness and goofiness that is already present in the SF series. Does the series have some badass characters? Yes. Is the series about flashy martial arts fighting and street brawling? Yes. Does the series lore contain some comically absurd characters, storylines, and fighting moves? WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Street Fighter doesn't take itself too seriously as a franchise, so this movie should not take itself too seriously as well - Which we can see here it does not. I am loving the vibe of the trailer because it looks like it will remain faithful to the look and presentation of Street Fighter without trying too hard to make it feel realistic to real life. I want this to be over the top and embrace the craziness because the SF franchise does the same exact thing in the games.

I don¨t want to rain on any parade, but had expected a bit better for the Switch 2 version.

While the dialog and UI are much clearer now, the overall graphics and characters still look blurry on my 4K TV.

It’s nowhere near the sharpness and clarity on my PC with the Steam version.
So its barely any better than the original Switch version. The Switch 2 should be able to run this game at much higher res.

So it feels like a non effort by Larian and bit disappointing. This doesn’t bode well for any Baldur´s Gate 3 release for Switch 2.

@JR150 Three Houses was 6 years ago. Engage did not even come close to a fraction of that game’s impact. It’s not controversial to say that the series is going through a lull and this new one has to be a hit.

I hadn't heard about MindsEye. I must find out what makes it so terrible.

Edit: Yeah, that looks rough.

Where's Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Switch 2 demo? 😄

First time in a while I haven't heard of any of the games on the worst-of list.

I really got into this game, I thought it was superb. There was one thing that annoyed me from the start though, the Switch graphics. It's a great looking game but the downgrades were obvious. So this free upgrade is great news. I'll play through it again for sure.
