Disappointed but not surprised. Mario Tennis with all the special shots turned off continues to be the best simulation on the system.

Fun looking romp, but gawd that's an awful title.

"practice pincery pugilism"

Well done 👏

Fight crab for me!

For me it's a day 1 purchase, baby.

It's a great game. Probably my #2 fave in series behind 64. Give Paper a chance.

What a time to be alive

I don't usually go in kn kickstarters but Sakuraba on board for the soundtrack might be enough to take my money

@rjejr okay, fam, you do you. We now live in a world where these things can be fixed. Should the game have shipped with something this broken? No, of course not. But here we are, and it'll get handled I'm sure.

@rjejr
$60 refunds? You've got quite the flair for the dramatic, eh?

Digital copy unlocked for me last night and I had a lot of fun with it once I got past the painfully rudimentary tutorials.

Hanafuda/Koi Koi is so much fun! I do, however, wish we could turn off the moon and cherry blossom viewing for online play since they can end rounds in 1 turn. And I wanna play 12 round games with people online. The default options don't seem editable.

Playing it today and it's got some rather unfair moments, unlike the first game. The first half is too easy while the back half is needlessly frustrating. I'd give it a C+

Getting this asap. Nice review. Glad to hear the difficulty is upped a little.

Looks dope! Will play after paper mario for sure

$50 is a tall order for Catherine imo. I'll pick it up on sale down the line.

@Anti-Matter
Paper Mario: Whiff of the Glue

Isn't the Pokémon snap concept a bit dated in this day and age?

This looks dope. People are calling fighting a box of colored pencils "generic"... Can you name some other games that have you fighting stationary? There might be a couple. But I'd posit that these battles are as unique as they can get. Paper Mario fans just be toxic these days

@KillerBOB
And stay washed. A clean hole is a fun hole.

So it's Dragon Quest Ys? Okay, I'm in.

"While the enemies may be crafted from paper, these dynamic, turn-based battles are far from stationary."

Give this copywriter a raise, Nintendo!

Heck yeah, I loved the Skate games back on the ol 360. Def picking this up

Nice article. Tengen tetris certainly had some interesting ideas, but personally it's one of my least fave versions.

Sonic, you need specially designed headphones for your forward facing animal ears. You might get some vibrations through your skull but just resting them on your dome is far from ideal. How can you expect to be a pro DJ?

Okay, I'll be -that- guy
The apostrophe is supposed to be before the number. Unless Overdrive is somehow possessive to the number 80. But since I doubt that, it should be '80s Overdrive. Common mistake.

For the price this looks dope! And the title logo is 90% the dragon quest logo so bonus points for that

Is the court supposed to look that small? Everything seems so far away.

Great event this year, lots of memorable runs. Animorphs, of course, and crowd control LTTP.

Let's do it, Camelot, I'm always up for a new Motoi Sakuraba soundtrack.

@invictus4000
Counterpoint: being a portable game, BD made a bolder effort than most of streamlining the 'classic' jRPG experience. They basically stripped away anything they deemed superfluous: giving players control over random encounter rates, refilling HP/MP, auto-saving everywhere (even for each dungeon floor), eliminating town exploration as you mentioned, and doling out most of the story in that weird, stage-like perspective where everybody's just kinda on screen standing there talking at each other. I don't agree with all these features, personally, but it certainly made the game manageable in bite-sized chunks on-the-go.

@SquareOneMJ
give me Barf, or give me death!

I'm totally gaybones for Erik but Slyvando is def a highly entertaining character. Top notch entry all around finished the game and "post game" (really just a part 3) with 92 hours clocked. Didn't yet finish up the tockington quests, tho.

The "classicly trained" apparel and merch always make me cringe. The other stuff isn't too bad.

Well, I guess I'm off to see what the buzz bee simulator is all about

It's great that Xenogears finally has the sequel we've been waiting for.

No rumble is lame, but for the price I can see why it was omitted. Also, that home button placement is a little too close to the X button for me. The pro controller location is slightly different and better overall (for me).

The only thing Jimmy Fallon is qualified to host is a parasite.

@AllieKitsune the mobile ports look better then these ports. They don't have the jarringly awful sprites.

I guess the chances of getting a Ni no Kuni 2 port are looking pretty grim.

@Chunkboi79 Thank you

I don't understand the review tag line. Has somebody said the side scrolling brawler is dead? The delightful River City Girls just came out recently...

@Paraka yep. I bought it and made it as far as this video goes, oddly enough. Then I put it aside to play Link's Awakening, and now that that is done, I'm 40 hours deep into Dragon Quest... I'll come back to Ni no Kuni. It was a very good few hours.

Ah, jeez. I was gonna be that jerk that pointed out its not truly 8 bit (color pallette, resolution), but I'll keep my mouth shut and enjoy the visuals and effort. It's still pretty. Shame it doesn't seem to be selling super well for Switch. Came out during a crowded time of year, though.

The parallax effect is so extreme is makes my eyes hurt. But I appreciate the effort

Looks cool. I hope it's a straightforward platformer and not a metroidvania.

I wonder how far the reviewer played. Nothing in the text or photos seems to suggest anything further than about 20 hours.

That fact that apparently 28 people bought a Vita makes me chuckle for some reason.

@Galenmereth then don't use it. Remember Brady Games (et al) strategy guides coming out in release day? Or are you too young? Just move past it.
