@Coach_A ever since Dom took over this site, it went a bit down hill. Way more "payed reviews", where games who buy ads get high review scores and so on.
On topic, I wish I knew if I should buy this game. Just don't know if it's for me... Loved Eternal Darkness but didn't touch Alan Wale after playing it for 10 minutes.... Gonna watch some gameplay videos I guess.
Very well done Nintendo!!! My husband got an individual membership for his birthday (combo with Mario maker 2), but we already had a family plan. Now that membership can be put to good use!
Sooooo this game was interesting for 10 minutes. Which was enough, because after that you could tell the "you have to pay now" point was nearing. Did not care for this one bit. One bit.
I LOVE this idea! Battling by doin squats? That might even get me to do those ! I love that Nintendo is doing this and making this step to make exercise more accessible for people that dont like to exercise (wii fit was just an exercise app, which didn't change the experience of exercising in my opinion, it didn't make it "fun"). I think I'll buy this!
It's more harvest moon or rune factory. Don't see a lot of Zelda, except for an island and a ship. But then all pirate games are Zelda games, so that doesn't make sense.
That's okay, we got a lot of other games that were developed originally for the "bigger consoles", let's give something back 😊. Can't wait for the release of 1 on the switch, didn't finish it on the 3ds. I hope the Japanese version supports English, then I don't have to wait that long 😊.
And people were making a thing about this why? Of course it's x on Nintendo (all letters) and Cross on Playstation (All shapes). Did people skip the lessons in kindergarten about shapes and letters? Gosh..
I played 2 when I was 12 and was only familiar with the FF type of RPG. I didn't understand any of it, though O could see awesomeness and a vreat adventure was there within my reach if I could just wrap my head around what was going on. Now that I'm 32 and played several of these types of ganes and actually played D&D, I feel like O' m finally ready foor that experience. So I'm SO glad I'm getting another chance to go on this adventure! Thnq guys for bringing this to switch!!!
@Old_Man_Nintendo I know, there are so many. And I'm going to play them al to teeny tiny bits! But I was hoping that with a steady stream they'd eventually had to resolve to lesser known SNES games (like they had to with the NES games) which would mean Lufia 2, Illusion of Time or Prehistoric Man stood a chance. With this no schedule they could stay with the classics Like DKC, Earthbound and Mario All Stars, and they wouldn't have to fill the gaps when they're out of those classic games. So here's hoping those niche games still find their way to the switch even without the schedule.
@Ludovsky that sounds reasonable. For example if Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles launches, they release the line up of F games for SNES. Could be cool. But then the question becomes, why are there no DK games yet? Is a new one coming??? Would be cool! I just hope a no schedule doesn't mean lesser games.
Why Nintendo? WHY? Why give happiness only to take it away again? So 3 games every 3 months? Or worse? Blegh... Was so happy with 20 games at once with the prospect of new games every month. But noooooo. It's gonna be new games on a whim, whenever they feel like it... Makes me sad.
SNES GAMES, SNES GAMES, SNES GAMES!!! AND WE START OFF WITH 20!!! NOT ALL THOSE GAMES WITH A SPEED OF 2 A MONTH, NO, BAM, 20 IN ONE GO, WITH MORE EXTRA TO COME!!! I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!
I want SNES games aaaaand Super Mario Sunshine HD aaaaaaand WINDWAKER HD aaaaaaand Breath of the wild 2 aaaaaaand Metroid Prime 4 aaaaaaaand a Mario & Luigi game aaaaaaaand maybe some more Final Fantasy news??? (feeling like a child before Christmas)
@JayJ Sure I get that, but for the gamers who have played it, they already know the story, so you don't have to be so detailed about it and for the newcomers, they want to play the story, so you don't have to be so detailed about it. At the very least, add a spoiler warning at the top.
Sooo, the writer of this review thought, know what, I'll just spoil the bejeezus out of everything, it's a remaster right, everyone has played the 20 year old game 20 years ago. Forgetting that 14 year olds also read this site and want to know if this classic is any good... Shouldn't there be a spoiler alert somewhere????
I "LOVE" how these people always makes the switch feel inferior and that things "are strange", but "for switch it's a well made game". Keep in mind, "for switch" , cause on other consoles it would apperently be utter garbage, but "for switch" it's a nice made game. With other games as well, "it's a definite downgrade from other console, but for switch it's good, but a definite downgrade." "Did you get it's a DOWNGRADE?". Wregh. Always so condescending. Hate DF.
Okau, playing the demo now and it is FABULOUS!!! It's so pretty and magical and special and... Well, go play it and find out! I highly recommend this!!!
@Omedru yeah I guess you're right, well if they don't I'll buy the mana collection, but first wait and see! And I hope the new bond between SE and Nintendo means at least a few classic FF games will be added!
@Tstar ja ik speel ze ook op mijn telefoon, maar toch lijkt het me zo leuk op de switch! Ik ben ook zo'n gek die 6 versies van rayman 2 koopt, gewoon om het op verschillende platformen te spelen 😝
A Link to the Past, Lufia 2 (never gonna happen but still), Illusion of Time (also never gonna happen), Earthbound, Yoshis Island, Secret Of Mana, Final Fantasy 6, Castlevania Dracula X, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Donkeu Kong Country 3, Super Mario All Stars (sooooo bad), Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Final Fantasy 5....I got a few I'm waiting for 😁
Seriously? A SNES game and a GBC game in the top 2? With Chrono Trigger being almost a direct port...? Like, heart gold and soul silver were remakes, I get that, but Chrono Trigger? Shouldn't it be in the SNES list to begin with? Good to see though that the Castlevania games score so high (as they should)! Don't know my favorite DS game actually... I think Dawn of Sorrow (it's the one I played the most, so, I guess that one).
Nort America for me best covers the feels of the game. I played an import version from Hong Kong when I was a little girl, so I played the not european one. Still feel the rush of defeating the aliens in level 8!
It was my birthday yesterday so I have some new games! Will be playing DK Tropical Freeze, Kirby Star Allies, Shantae And The Pirates Curse, Doom 3 and as big game Xenoblade Chronicles 2! So many games, so much vacation! Nice!
I bought a second switch a few months ago, cause me and my husband were constantly fighting over it, so I'm sitting this upgrade out and waiting for something more substantial!
Wow! It looks a lot like Donkey Kong! Like, creepily so. But also, Wow, it looks a lot like Donkey Kong in polishing and graphics, kudo's! This could be a really good game!

Seriously? A SNES game and a GBC game in the top 2? With Chrono Trigger being almost a direct port...? Like, heart gold and soul silver were remakes, I get that, but Chrono Trigger?
