I haven't played the originals either, yet this still wasn't what I was expecting at all. Not that I dislike it, though: in fact, I'm really digging it so far. I can't wait for more gameplay and impressions to show up. The only thing I'm hoping for is an explorable hub world in-between the apparently linear game worlds
Here's some direct feed gameplay from GDC. Looks pretty cool to me. Seems like a more fun, less infuriating version of Furi. Yes, it's not like the previous games in the series, but let's try and judge it on its own merits. It's not called No More Heroes 3 for a reason, you know.
Mario Galaxy is ten years old, and now I feel old.
Has there been any early buzz or reviews for this yet? With this being so different to the other games in the series I'd like to see what the reception is like before buying it.
Coming in late because I haven't visited a game forum in a minute, but I am absolutely psyched for this game. I pre-ordered as soon as I saw it on the e-shop. Glad to see other people are recognizing the potential for this to be an awesome game. I need a new, good quality slice and dice with a bit of challenge tbh.
Side note: I played the first game in high school and I remember my dad coming home and seeing Travis charge the beam katana and immediately turning off the TV, hahahah. Such classy and graceful gameplay!
My excitement level for this game is at about an 8/10. I've never played a game in the series. Although this is a spinoff, I feel as though this will be a good entry in the beat'em/brawler genre which is a little thin on Switch at the moment (Shaq Fu, Battle Crashers, and Ben 10 are all awful options in the genre). I think the metacritic could come in at around 70-75, which won't be great for the game's retail sales potential, but good enough for the Nintendo-faithful to support with 100k-200k sales.

@Punisher67 Yet others have given it everything from an OK to a great score. 52% of the reviews shown on Metacritic are positive. I'm still gonna get this game.
Y'know there are some games where if it gets less than an 80 on Metacritic everyone's hype just dies immediately. But this got exactly the reviews I expected so I feel like it's one of those games you either get or you...don't. Even with reading reviews, I haven't a single clue whether I'll like this or not.
True - reviews seem all over the place - I only read the eurogamer one and thought - this is a complete disaster. Looks like quite a few think it’s half decent
@Punisher67 Yeah, it's not easy as a consumer to know who to trust here, but my recommendation is to read as many as possible plus to view some gameplay videos.
I thought I was going to get it today, but no... The online retailer shipped it this Wednesday, so it's probably the postal service that has f-d up. Sigh... I don't understand why the general release dates are on Fridays.
