Well, first of all, for this to come to fruition it needs to: A) exist in the first place B) survive activision and Xbox’s recent fixation with cancelling things
I had a lovely time with it, it’s a good game. It definitely could and probably should be better, there are definitely areas that aren’t befitting of such a big franchise, but really, it’s still been a blast to play. If they could get their act together and pull out all the stops for once, they’d probably have a shot at game of the year on their hands. Right now, not a chance. Still, pretty good
I give it a solid 8/10. Been playing the backside off it, it’s definitely a blast to play. Already got well over 30hrs into it.
Can’t give it a higher score because there are still those annoying shortcuts pokemon likes to take (I.e fading to black instead of animating your character pulling a lever comes to mind, come on guys, it can’t be that much effort to make)
I myself am a satisfied customer, but I am but one twit on the internet
@Misima hardly surprising, the likely hood of running into one individual out of billions is so low, the chance of us seeing you is almost non-existent!
In my opinion, this is the kind of soundtrack this app needs. A game that not too many people would have played but still has music that is worth hearing. The ninja and king fu themes in particular are ones of note.
Yay, probably not made it as an option on this poll!
Considering an accessory is required to play, and the virtual boy library just doesn’t have many games that are screaming out “play me!” I don’t think it’s worth the price of admission. The headset is cool but far too expensive for what it is, and I can’t see myself getting much use out of it.
So “probably not” is the most accurate option for me!
@Scarftail I would guess that the switch ports are still available to purchase. Those other games you’ve mentioned aren’t, so in their mind, no point mentioning it.
@Suketoudara I imagine there reason they split Kirby up is because the switch 2 version has a new campaign, so they’ll release the rest after that comes out.
Why they couldn’t just do the full original sound track in one go, beats me, but I see their broken logic
Justify it all you like, it’s still theft. It’s taking something you don’t own without paying for it. Maybe it’s something you wouldn’t have been able to have otherwise, doesn’t matter. It’s still taking something you don’t own.
“But it’s the only way I can get it!” Well, I apologise, that does genuinely stink. It does, and I’m sorry. But it’s still taking something that doesn’t belong to you, and that shouldn’t be normalised. You’re not being Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to feed the poor, your just stealing from the rich.

Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
@johnedwin1969 nonesense, you can debate literally anything!
Doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be right, but you can debate it!
Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
I feel one of these two is somewhat more deserving than the other
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Is Still On Top As Mario Kart World Approaches 2 Million Physical Sales
When they say “physical sales” does that include the digital copy included in the switch 2 bundle?

Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Almost Had Completely New Cutscenes
Bit of a messy start to the article…

I imagine the rigours of running a site like this means the odd error slips through editing

Not the first time they’ve skipped a week after a big upload, they did that after uploading tears of the kingdom.
Re: Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (Switch) - Cracking Karting, But Struggles To Keep Up On Switch
It gets the job done. It ain’t pretty to look at, but from personal experience, it’s a blast
Re: Nintendo Music App Adds Princess Peach Album In Latest Update
In my opinion, this is the kind of soundtrack this app needs. A game that not too many people would have played but still has music that is worth hearing. The ninja and king fu themes in particular are ones of note.
Re: Review: Star Trek: Resurgence (Switch) - '90s Trek Fan? This'll Transport You
Funnily enough, I was working on a Star Trek fan audio series called resurgence. Then this game was announced and we had to change the name
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?
@FernandoMachado I highly doubt it, labo vr is designed for switch 1, not switch 2

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Surpasses 2 Million Units Sold
I say, can someone tell me what SKU stands for please? Asking for a friend, namely, myself.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Super Mario's Game History In 40th Anniversary Timeline
@Scarftail I would guess that the switch ports are still available to purchase. Those other games you’ve mentioned aren’t, so in their mind, no point mentioning it.

Oooooo, Klonoa! I might check that out

I understand the general consensus on the original version was not the best, so it was always facing an uphill battle

I suspect a September direct. That’s a fairly safe bet. Not guaranteed of course, this is Nintendo were talking about

Re: Random: Don't Worry Folks, Nintendo Says Mario And Peach Are Just "Good Friends"

I’ve heard that line before, usually when someone is trying to deny something more than just being good friends is going on
Re: Acclaimed Puzzler 'Viewfinder' Bends Reality On Switch This Winter
Putting that on the radar
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds 26 "Old-School" NES And Famicom Game Albums
I approve of this. It’s not terribly exciting for me to wait a week and get a single nes album, so uploading a bunch of them at once, good move
Re: Nintendo Announces 'Global Jam' Demo Event For Switch 2 Online Members
A demo is a good idea, this is a project that we may need to be sold on.

Re: Square Enix Rules Out Switch 2 "Upgrade Path" For Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
Cannot be upgraded?
Or cannot be bothered?
Re: Another Mario Kart Album Races Onto Nintendo Music, Here's Every Song Included
I think a good number of users are eagerly awaiting the day Mario kart worlds ost gets uploaded. That’s gonna be a monster of a soundtrack

Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
@The_Nintend_Pedant no, you got a point, even if it’s free, it had to be produced, and something that has been produced is by definition a product
Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
I think it a per game basis: some games are definitely art, some are absolutely just products.
Technically, every game is a product (because it’s something you purchase (unless it’s 100% free of course))
Some are works of art, but they’re still products, because someone has to produce them.
