One of the better looking controllers I've ever seen. I usually don't call inanimate objects beautiful but this controller fits that description. That light strip at the bottom is particularly cool in my opinion
Way too expensive for something that cost a few dollars to manufacture. Nintendo is really insulting their fans by seeing what they are willing to pay for certain things. Some people seem to be okay with being taken advantage of.😐
@ottoecamn I agree with you. I have said something similar. Why not use an actual cartridge to the max and allow the rest of the game to be downloaded to the system? The excuses for using game key cards are all bs in my opinion and just come back to taking away ownership from consumers. The micro SD Express requirements are also ridiculous. The format isn't easily available to some people and is also extremely expensive compared to regular SD cards. The Steam Deck and other PC handhelds are doing fine with basic SD cards. I know the speeds are slower but it's not unbearable.
@Bondi_Surfer A very mature comment and I agree with you. Some people take things way too seriously and personal. I've played games that others hated and really loved them and the opposite. Gaming is a very subjective media and it's very rare a game will have the majority of people liking it. We all have different tastes, requirements, etc... for what we believe is good or not
The fanboys probably burst a blood vessel with that Metro review.😆 With that said this seems like a black and white type of game. You either hate it or love it
Yeah he's full of it. The majority of people definitely care about AI, especially if it's used in a bad/lazy way. Look at COD 7 Black Ops for a recent example. Besides being a bad game in other aspects, the use of AI has enraged a lot of people too. I don't really have an issue with AI as long as it's used in a minimum way and ethically. But a lot these companies aren't using it like that. It's a short cut and a way to not pay human beings for their work.
Looks like a good game for those who are excited about it. I'm just not feeling it at all. I didn't care for the original game either and felt it was a boring and overrated game. This one is obviously much better but I don't see myself ever playing this. Hope others enjoy it though
It's a damn shame how many games are released in such a sorry state. I was interested in this but I'm definitely not buying it on Switch now. This is also more proof on why people need to stop pre ordering games. Imagine paying full price for something this broken?
Every game doesn't need mouse controls shoved in it. I'm glad the developers are prioritizing what works and doesn't work. I trust them to put forth the best control options for their game.
@UpsideDownRowlet Why would Gamefreak ever get their act together when they know millions will keep buying whatever they put out regardless of quality?😐 Until the sales start to take a massive hit, Nintendo and Gamefreak will continue doing the bare minimum with this franchise.
@SnackBox Fanboys hate when others call out their favorite company. Nintendo ones are the worst in the industry when it comes to this. DF has been reviewing the technical details of software and hardware for a long time and are actually one of the few companies that isn't bias. They are very in depth with their reviews whether it's good, bad, or average. There are just a lot of immature people who can't handle the truth and take things personally.
Good sales numbers. I played the first Hyrule Warriors and just couldn't get into it for whatever reason. It didn't really "click" with me and I gave up on it after a few hours. At least others are getting to enjoy it
A lot of these games should permanently be at these Black Friday prices in my opinion. It's ridiculous and greedy that Nintendo is charging full price for games that are almost a decade old
@ElRoberico I think most people are upset about patches because it means the game was released before it was completely ready. Huge day one patches are an insult to people who purchased a game at full price. And that's if a company even fixes everything in a timely manner. There are a lot of games that received a couple of patches and no more despite still having issues.
What a mess. This is why it's important to stop pre ordering games. Wait until it's actually launched and reviewed before giving these companies your money. Unfortunately some people will never learn.😐
You'd think at some point a lot of people would stop letting these companies get away with bs like this. As long as some people have more cash than common sense these companies will keep pushing the limits on product pricing.😐
@cylemmulo A lot of people will buy anything Pokemon related which is why Gamefreak does the bare minimum, if that. Scarlet and Violet were plagued with technical issues but still sold a crazy amount of copies. Some folks refuse to demand better when it comes to this franchise.
It's time for new developers with this franchise. Gamefreak has been dropping the ball lately and just cruising with the most recent games in this franchise. The potential is there for something truly amazing and groundbreaking and for whatever reason they can't do it or aren't capable. I would love to see someone else get a shot at Pokemon.

Re: 'The Duskbloods' Could Be FromSoftware's Most Ambitious Game Yet, According To Leak
I wish this was single player focused. It looks okay so far but I have zero interest in multiplayer only games.

@RiasGremory The price of the system is already over $500 in some countries.😐
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat
Nintendo really should've started out the internal storage at 512 gb for the Switch 2 in my opinion.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's First DLC In-Game Event Kicks Off Next Week
