Bloober Team really knocked it out of the park with this game. A lot of people were rightfully nervous when they were announced as the developers. I personally felt they would be fine remaking such a classic and I'm happy it turned out well. Hopefully when/if it's ported to Switch 2, it doesn't struggle with any technical issues. It really is a superb game that more people should be able to play
@DJDano You're spreading misinformation. Over 85% of PS5 games have the full data on the disc. A mandatory install to the hard drive is required but you can play the game without having to download it from the internet unlike game key cards
Sonic Crossworlds is really good and blew away some expectations. Quite a bit of people are disappointed with MKW and I understand why. It is a downgrade from MK8 in a few areas. That game is almost perfect in my opinion and it was always going to be tough to top it with a new MK game. It's always funny watching some people lose it when anything Nintendo related is criticized. It's okay to like something else more and have an opinion. Nintendo fanboys really are some of the worst gamers in the industry. They take everything so personal and attack anyone who isn't groveling at the feet of this corporation. Grow up and realize it's not that serious. It's pathetic to defend a company that only cares about what's in your pocket
I'm still not seeing any games that makes me want to buy one. By the time the library is expanded hopefully a revised version is released. As of now I'm happy with my OLED and other gaming platforms
It's always interesting seeing some people defend game key cards and bash those who are against them. I understand why so many people hate them. It's not true physical media and is an excuse to snatch ownership away from gamers. That's not including the environmental impact of shipping thousands of pieces of plastic with no significant data on them. A lot of people aren't budging on their stance on this format and I don't blame them.
It looks amazing and runs well on other platforms. If you have other options, I would suggest getting it on something else besides the Switch unless you really want to play in portable mode and only have a Switch. Shame about the tech issues but the game is really good
Some of the people trying to justify the price for these 15 year old games are the reason why Nintendo is pushing the limits of what they can get away with regarding pricing.😐 These games aren't worth the high asking price in my opinion for minimal updates
@anoyonmus I never expected performance on par with those two consoles but some people did which I thought was delusional. I don't even think it's fully on par with a PS4 Pro. It can't maintain a consistent 60 fps for sports games, first party titles have technical issues early on, etc... The system seems to already be struggling with certain games that it shouldn't be in my opinion. I don't believe it's just an issue with developers and optimization either. It's going to be interesting seeing how things turn out the longer it's on the market and more demanding games being potentially ported over
This dev kit situation is just really weird. Did Nintendo not know they were launching a new console or something?😐 This is the kind of stuff that will make developers/publishers move on if things aren't rectified.
The people who keep defending this ridiculous format are looking more foolish by the day. These companies don't want you owning anything anymore and game key cards are a Trojan horse for that. But inevitably some people will say it's because of cost, game tech, etc...😐🙄 It's about profits and anti consumer behavior, period. Thank Nintendo for ushering in this garbage.
Seems like these developers have never heard of an install?😐🙄 I'm seeing way too many excuses on the need for game key cards and it's kind of ridiculous. In the end it boils down to taking control away from consumers, period. One of the worst medias ever created in my opinion. CD Projekt Red put a huge game on a cartridge with no issues but these other companies are having "issues" doing the same thing with their own games. I don't know what's worse, developers or some consumers making excuses for this ridiculous format.
The art direction for the environments in Pokemon games has always left me disappointed. This is a franchise that should go all out with it's designs in my opinion. The potential for creativity is sky high. With that said I definitely need to see more about this game before I decide to purchase it or not. Gamefreak has burned a lot of people with their most recent games.
Two devices that could be really useful for those who need/want them. I'm curious to see how they turn out when they are officially released and reviewed.
This looks like a good case and the price is very affordable too. I'm fine with my game cases lacking visual flair. It draws less attention to it in public
Way too expensive for content that should've been in the base game. People would be better off using that $20 or more buying some games during an eShop sale.
@NotASockPuppet Fanboys will be fanboys. The Nintendo ones are worse than any other group by far. I enjoy some of their products but not enough to get nickel and dimed constantly. Nintendo will keep pushing the limits because they know they will always have those who will buy whatever they put out for whatever price regardless of the value. It's not about money but moreso principal with some people.
I enjoyed reading this review. I'll never play this game though. At this point in my life I don't have the patience to play a difficult game like this. I just want to sit back and chill and not spend hours on one boss/area raging. At least those who have been waiting for this game for a long time finally get to play and enjoy it
Absolute bs!! Do the diehard Nintendo fanboys even believe this?!🤣😭 Nintendo isn't using game key cards because they knew the backlash would have been even more intense to them. They are willing to let third party companies take the brunt of the discourse and rage to this media. I really do think they wanted the Switch 2 to be all digital but knew that wouldn't fly with a lot of people and it would've probably been DOA. Trust me, Nintendo isn't using game key cards because they care about consumers and preservation. I'm willing to bet anything that a revised Switch or the next generation will be an all digital console. Game key cards are a way to ease consumers into accepting an all digital future. This guy is so full of it and he knows he's gaslighting. I told people that even when SD card prices drop, these companies aren't going away from game key cards. They hate physical media and want complete control of their products.
I bought 3D All Stars years ago. I'm not buying this. The prices are ridiculous. These games shouldn't be no more than $20 apiece. They aren't full on remasters. Also the Amiibo prices are absolutely insane. $30 for one plastic figure?!🥴 Nintendo is being disgustingly greedy this gen and it's sad seeing a lot of fanboys continue to defend them
@siavm So they didn't play to the backlash against Wii U, 3DS initial pricing, joy con drift, etc...?🤔 They are definitely an arrogant company but once the pockets and pr takes a hit they start to backpedal and try to be "humble" again.
