@Suketoudara Well, yeah. Still 0 from 10 for every game key card release, doesn't matter how great are the games. Sell the product properly, full physical or full digital, no BS in between.
@Oldstalk Well, if the Switch 2 games condition already looked unappealing (game key card), I will get upset. I still keep my eyes on Switch 2 games release, but whenever I found game key card, it made me thinking twice to get Switch 2 machine. I buy the games in proper physical games, not scam product game key card that will be useless in the future.
@Grogro I don't like Punch Out gameplay which you just only hit and dodge without any ability to walk on the ring like 3D fighting games. I prefer K-1 on PS2 style which the gameplay style like 3D fighting games.
I heard Grand Bazaar will get PS5 version release in this year. If that's true, I hope the PS5 version will get everything including the latest update on disc, just like Pioneers of Olive Town PS4 version.
@Bolt_Strike Tennis looks quite interesting for me. I like the Tennis visor and the outfits. I personally wishing Nintendo want to make Mario Boxing / Kickboxing or Mario Martial Art.
I personally will rated Mario Tennis Fever with 4 from 10 for being too much relying on Online features and lack of Solo content, added with hefty price tag, I don't think the game feel justified with that price when the game is not designed for Solo gamer.
Lack content for Solo Mode? Oh, gosh.... I already thinking it will be like Splatoon situation. Maybe I will check other 3rd party cartoonish Tennis games for more Solo content.
The budget is allocated more for the advertising than the actual Pokemon games. In my opinion, Pokemon mainline gameplay was nothing compared with FF X, FF XII, Fantasy Life I, FF VIII, FF IX. And people still buy Pokemon games with minimalist / lazy efforts just because it's Pokemon, not Yokai Watch, not Nexomon. Branding blind loyalty too much...
The actual gameplay especially in Story mode is way more important than the CGI movie. I still neglected my ACES because of the convoluted mission in Story mode. The gimmick gameplay can be not fun if the unlockable stuffs behind the really hard to clear mission.
@Gabe250 But it still using Pokemon franchise, even developed by Koei Tecmo. To sell Pokemon franchise with game key card is really disgraceful decision.
@topsekret Oh, my mistake. I wasn't familiar with culdcept so I thought it was typical rated M games judging from the title name until you told me and I double checked the franchise. Maybe I should give Blue Question mark for not sure about that game.
My reaction from Nintendo Direct last time after looking at this picture.
Green Circle = I will get the PS5 version instead
Red Cross = Definitely NO
Double Black Cross = HELL NO...!!!
I have a lot of NO and HELL NO as I hate AAA games especially the adult games.
I never like soccer so I just couldn't care less with that sport.
Only 3 games from the list that I will get the PS5 version instead.
Enough with the BS game key card.
For once Konami can sell their games right.
More game card is welcome.
Konami should do the same thing with other already released Switch 2 games by re-release them again the full game card version and discontinue their game key card version.
Oh, wait.
It has PS5 version too?! 😃
Well, I will get the PS5 version instead.
I got the recommendation about this game from my game seller after watching him playing the PS5 version at his store. I don't even think will get the Switch 2 version. It will be game key card release. Well, I will stick on PS5 version, the game is ready to buy at my local game stores.
Glad I didn't watch the Direct. I knew I can trust my instinct. The Direct just filled with a lot of games I really hate them. The only one game that caught my interest is Super Bomberman Collection, but that's Retro games collection, not really interesting stuff. Doraemon NES was also caught my interest but I don't want to buy the Console Archives with other game that I really hate them. Grandblue Fantasy Relink and Monster Hunter Stories 3 I will get both of them on PS5 version. Enough with BS game key card treatment. Well, even I didn't watch the DirectI can give the score 1 from 10. It was Abysmal.
@rvcolem1 The thing I worried was the unlockable behind the Story mode. The Aces one had very hard to clear task from Story mode so I dropped the game because I stucked on the impossible to clear mission.
I personally never like too realistic racing games which just only drive as smooth as possible. It just extremely boring for me. I have ever for once played Midnite tunes arcade at my local Arcade and never want to play again because it was damn boring games. I prefer cartoonish racing games with whimsical vibes and items to smack onto opponents.
I still on the fence with Mario Tennis Fever despite I have interest with cartoonish Tennis games. The things that concerned me is the story mode which you have to do almost impossible shoot to unlock important contents. I still stuck at Story mode from Aces and I still neglected the game.
I have strong feeling this Direct will announce bunch of Switch 2 games in game key card considering the greed from AAA games companies currently. I'm very sure I will not like with 99% of the announced games from the Direct so I will not watch the Direct.
I never like AAA games so I will not watch the Direct. I just wait the article about the announced games from Direct to check the interesting games for me.
The only cheaper option is buy the Used Like New / Very Good condition of Switch 2 from someone who doesn't need Switch 2 anymore. You can try to get second handed Switch 2 games for cheaper option. There is always another way (in the right way) to get cheaper options.
I still concerning the Story Mode for Mario Tennis Fever as the previous game Aces, the Story mode had very ridiculous hard task to do like hitting the targets precisely within limited time. I still neglected my Aces.
But I think PS2 is still the Best of All. I grew up a lot by PS2 games like DDR, K-1, Monster Rancher 4, Harvest Moon games, FF X/X-2, FF XII, etc. Used to be I was really hyped with Switch 1. But after I got PS5, my hyped changed to PS5. PS5 is my number 1 choice and Switch 1 is on number 3. I still have some interest with Switch 1, but it's not as strong as 9 years ago.

I don't like Black color outside.
Re: Poll: So, Should Pokémon Red And Blue Return For The 30th Anniversary?
I'm not really a fan of Pokemon franchise.

Re: Preview: Despite Low Expectations, Pokémon Pokopia Had Me Grinning From Ear To Ear

Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Hollow Knight Or Silksong?
Neither of them I like.
I never like their art style, never like their too hardcore gameplay.
I play the games for fun, not for being tortured.

Re: Mario Tennis Fever's Opening Movie Is As Cinematic As They Come
