$10 for a mobile auto running game, Nintendo was smoking crack again. You're better off with buying Drastic for $5 and playing DS games with physical buttons on your Blackberry Key2.
The only game I paid $10+ for and was worth it was The World Ends With You for Android.
@Trajan I'm a S+ guy, but the Bloblobber just isn't fun to use or fight. The idea of bouncing off the walls is good, but then it should've been more like a granade launcher. Now you just see a sea of bubbles rondomly jumping everywhere. When you die or get a kill it feels like luck and not because of skill
So what do we get? Zelda 50% off? Nope. Splatoon 2? Nah. Xenoblade 2? Ofcourse not. Mario Odyssey? Lol no. That lazy Kirby game? Get outta here. Old Wii U ports like Mario Kart? Hell naw. Full price bruah.
Unsurprisingly Nintendo fans come up with all types of poor excuses for why the technically inferior Switch ports are more expensive and still worth it.
@gortsi everybody was playing CM back in the day, you ain't nothing special, just old. Gotta admit I haven't touched FM in years, but I'm pretty sure Touch isn't the definitive edition. Unless you have kids or something.
Most of these indie hypes are fun for like 1 or 2 hours, then the novelty wears off, the gameplay gets repetitive (mostly grindfests) and you never play them again.
@hatch trolling? I thought indie developers were trolling these days, releasing crappy pixel art games at an unprecedented rate. We see more retro style games than zombie games a while ago.
I do like the fact that the Switch is popular in other Asian countries than Japan. The Korean and Taiwanese(yes, Taiwan is a country, deal with it China) have been releasing some interesting games.
@LordGeovanni the first party support of the PS4 is pretty good too and they have a ton of great console exclusives (Yakuza, God of War, Persona 5, Uncharted, Ni No Kuni 2 etc).
As a Nintendo fan I was skeptical too, but the PS4 is amazing. Dirt cheap too (200 for the console, tons of sales with full games for less than 10 euro). Give it a chance, there is no reason to choose for only Nintendo consoles. And I'm not talking about graphics, the gameplay of some of these games is amazing. I had to buy a PS4 for Shenmue and Yakuza alone. PSVR is also hella innovative and pure fun.
@LordGeovanni this isn't about exclusives, it's about third party support. It doesn't matter if a game is also released on the Xbox, what matters is that they usually skip Nintendo consoles.
Who cares if a game is released on the Xbox as long as you can also play it on the PS4? With the Switch you just need to buy another console to not miss out on a ton of the best games of this generation. I own both a PS4 and a Switch and they compliment each other. The Switch for first party games(Mario Odyssey is a first party game, we were talking about third party support that is lacking on the switch), the PS4 for third party games.
@Syrek24 compared to the PS4 that line up is weak as hell. No need to be in denial.
Those 2D platformers, Minecraft and old ports are not the same as getting new Final Fantasy, GTA, Street Fighter, Tekken,Battlefield, Tomb Raider, Call of Duty etc games.
PS4 gets Monster Hunter Worlds, the Switch gets a ugly 3DS port. That's ok, but don't pretend there isn't a huge quality gap
@diablo2 yup, this reminded me immediately of Heart of Darkness. That game had an amazing artstyle and animations but the trial and error gameplay was terrible. Hopefully this isn't similar
@penamiguel92 nobody cares about the attach rate besides Nintendo fans. And on the Wii that still wasn't the case. It had a huge install base and hardcore games sold very poorly. It's also way easier to develop for the PS4 and pc/xbox one at the same time. So the Switch get the less demanding games or those running on a very scalable engine like that of Doom.
And just honestly think about the marketing for the consoles, it makes sense that hardcore games perform better on consoles like the Playstation. Almost all players are young guys, while on Nintendo consoles it's far more mixed. They target the whole family. Combine that with a smaller installed base and less powerful hardware and you end up with a console that is not ideal for most triple A games
Yakuza 0 was the best game of 2017. And they're perfect on the Playstations. Nintendo fans never buy hardcore games. They always let the developers down.
@impurekind All Stars was lazy too and boring if you already played the previous versions. I don't even like the sprites that much compared to the classic NES versions. Not every game deserves a 9/10.
Super Mario Bros was terrible in All Stars. The physics were off and the graphics were hideous.
@impurekind 7/10 seems pretty on point. A 9/10 should be for an all new Wario Ware with all new mini games. That was the whole fun for me booting up a Wario Ware title: get surprised by the creative mini games and figuring out what you need to do.
Same for that Rhythm Heaven Gold title, it was boring and lazy.
@GrailUK Because they rehashed all the older mini games, just like they did with Rhythm Heaven. The whole fun with these games was unlocking new creative and funny mini games. Now you've seen it all before.
Splatoon should have daily missions with rewards, so you switch it up more often than just using your optimal play style.
So stuff like: make X kills with weapon Y
Or carry the rainmaker
Or simply GET ON THE EFFING TOWER
I wished you could see how often somebody actually carried the rainmaker until the end and how many miles somebody made on the tower.
And they need to implement a feature to slap who on your team who chose to pick a charger in splatzones. That's like playing 3 vs 4.

You are one of those fake hype train people. Always claiming you're so excited about games and then don't buy them.
Re: Interview: Daemon X Machina Producer Kenichiro Tsukuda On Cooking Up An Authentic Mech Game For Everyone
Nobody is buying mech games. The drought on the Switch is real, suddenly a random new mech game looks interesting.

@Trajan haven't touched Splatoon since I saw everybody using that annoying Bloblobber, just camping in one spot and firing off in random directions.
Re: Tencent Confirms Free-To-Play Titles Won't Be Impacted By Nintendo Switch Online
Can't wait to pay for less players online in Puyo Puyo Tetris and Splatoon.

Re: Review: Morphies Law (Switch eShop)
@UmbreonsPapa deep? I just ask if it's better than Robbotto. I have $20 and can buy one game: which one should I buy.
I have a hard time deciding. Robbotto
Re: Review: Morphies Law (Switch eShop)
@GrailUK the question was quite easy: is Robbotto just as good and just as much as an recommendation?
Re: Review: Morphies Law (Switch eShop)
@GrailUK they call the score a guideline for comparison and quality of the game
Re: Review: Morphies Law (Switch eShop)
So this isn't better than Robbotto?

Re: New Video For SNK Heroines Promotes Game As Accessible Fighter
@Dizzy_Boy it still had input commands unless you used the dumbed down wii mote controls, which were terrible.
I love input commands, it gives more satisfaction to pull off a special move like that in the heat of the moment.

Re: Head Of Abstraction Games Addresses Technical Performance Of The Switch
The Switch is the new Wii. Fun hardware, good first party support, but also underpowered and poor third party support.
That's all good, just buy a PS4 too. No need to be in denial though. And if you bash developers, you are a sad dreadful person.

$10 ?! Come on. You should be able to expect a whole lot more for that amount. You could buy full games on sale for other consoles for $10
