Solo play is great. I do think the game is more fun if you have a friend who co-ops with you, but it's totally playable solo. Similar to Monster Hunter, it's great either way.

Been playing more daily challenges in Rayman Legends lately. I'll never understand why we didn't get a follow-up to it. Origins and Legends are two of my all-time favorite platformers. I'd only put them under DKC: Tropical Freeze in terms of overall quality.

Not only that, but why didn't Rayman Origins ever come to Switch? The engine is there, the audience is there... Ubisoft is out of their mind. Low hanging fruit and they're like nah, we're good.
And, what about Far Cry? Mind you, I'm not the biggest FC fan. I enjoyed the series for a bit. But why didn't they release FC3 when they did the remaster, like they did for Assassin's Creed? They were working on Far Cry for Wii. But Switch actually has the audience, yet still nothing. Mega publishers are sooooo slooooow to adapt to changing times. Even Wii U saw more diversity in Ubisoft AAA support- Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Rayman...
It's 2022, not 2014. They should have ported Splinter Cell Blacklist to Switch, Rayman Origins, Far Cry 3 Remastered, and released a new, exclusive Rayman for the system.
Idk what's going on there. Complete dysfunction. At least we have a Mario Rabbids sequel on the way.

@Ralizah I think the reason we never got a follow up to Rayman was because of the controversy surrounding its creator and his abrupt retirement from the gaming industry.

@Ralizah Well the nature of its release destroyed its sales potential and so didn't sell well enough to justify a new game. Started off a Wii U exclusive but got delayed purposely to launch multiplatform (Microsoft had a rule at the time where games couldn't release at all on XB1 if they launched as an exclusive for PS4 or Wii U). By the time it launched multiplatform, PS4/XB1 owners didn't care about it meanwhile Wii U had started to get a decent number of games made by Nintendo so Wii U version sales suffered there as well.
@JaxonH Rayman Legends. Child of Light. Two really fantastic and exclusive tactical RPGs. The South Park games.
Their support hasn't been perfect, but it does feel like they've been giving us the majority of their very best games.
But yeah, bit of a waste to not have at least the older Far Cry games. I'd happily snag FC3 and Blood Dragon, if nothing else.
And yeah, it's a bit absurd that Origins is on the Vita, but not on Switch.
Speaking of, I'd love to play Legends on an OLED model one day. The Vita version really showed off how good the game could look on that sort of screen.
@Grumblevolcano I mean, it sold 4.5 million copies. Might be peanuts compared to what their AAA games pull in, but it still outsold Origins really quickly. And still sold really well on Wii U for a third-party game.
@Tasuki You're probably right. I forgot he left. That sucks. Probably also explains why we'll never see BG&E2 again. Although, based on that teaser trailer, that might not be a terrible thing.
@Grumblevolcano I think that's much less the case in many respects than it was in the seventh gen, where it felt like everything was either a AAA blockbuster or a zero-budget indie someone programmed in their mother's basement. Many smaller and niche genres are selling very well these days, and are showing that it can be profitable to invest in smaller-scale projects.

@Ralizah It's less in some ways and more in others. Nowadays a lot of studios seem to mostly be focused on a mixture of the normal approach to AAA and attempting to chase Fortnite riches but there are some big studios like Capcom that are avoiding that approach.
On a different note, Switch Sports is at #1 on the UK eshop charts with 3 days to go until launch.
The SwitchUp review is out for Zombie Army 4- the one and only review that matters imo.
81% is a very good score from them.

Everything's seeming weird recently. Nintendo's made loads of updates that could've been part of a general Direct or Direct Mini meanwhile has had no indie event, Xbox is pretty much silent outside of the content light Halo Infinite Season 2 and PS has been silent outside of the PS+ revamp coming in June.
@Yoshi2 Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the whole appeal of them (Unless NoE is really different than NoA in how they ran it)
@Grumblevolcano Yeah, it's been radio silent... I mean usually this is when E3 news starts popping up, so I guess that's probably why. Nintendo's summer direct (if it happens, and I think it will) won't be announced ahead of time without E3, Microsoft is probably still internally scrambling to reconfigure their release plans now that A-B merger is going ahead to avoid as much self-competition as possible, and Sony... well, they don't really release much at all anyways anymore? We got a single collection released for the... third time? (Uncharted) and Horizon, plus MLB (which I personally don't care about) and that's all they have for this year's schedule afaik? God of War is 2022, maybe, assuming no delays but...
Most people tend to forget that the Wii technically "won" the generation against the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Wii was the only one of the three to sell 100m+ consoles with the PS3 selling second-best. Then we have the 360, which sold around 86m, but had a RRoD failure rate of almost 60%. So from one perspective the 360 sold well. But how many of those sales were from return customers whose 360s were past their warranty?
@link3710 Even with the multiplatform stuff I honestly can't think of anything coming in May and June outside of Sonic Origins and the Capcom Fighting Collection.
Edit: I looked it up and there's Evil Dead: The Game and Sniper Elite 5 in May, but that's about it until Saints Row and Soul Hackers 2 in late August. That's.... really bad honestly. I would hope things will pick up after that.
