@Desa Apollo's animations are so overboard I adore them. I especially appreciate his thinking pose where he mashes his index finger into his forehead 😆
I tip my magician's hat to you, @KateGray 😉 I also rank this one very highly personally, and the awesome German Guitar-playing prosecutor only comes second to Godot.
Trials and Tribulations by a longshot. Apollo is a great follow-up, as were the 3DS entries, but there is no beating Prosecutor Godot and his incredible theme (Fragrance of Dark Coffee).
@RupeeClock Right, but they swing items, bend over, and can turn their head. I'm just saying they could make one tiny adjustment rather than the literal neutral stance 😆
Drift is certainly real, but for my joy-cons, a blast of contact cleaner resolves it for months. For my Pro controller I recalibrated and it's perfectly fine now.
No. Unless you have zero intention of playing this game there is no reason to watch this. It feels like before it was leaked you could watch every major plot point in the multiple trailers.
I was kindof hoping the switch could handle all of the games pre-KH3. I still play these on my PS4/5 so I'm not gutted. Cool they're at least giving new players access in some form.
Toree 2 is inevitably being bought through gold coins, Die by the Blade might do Bushido Blade justice, Fading Afternoon looks (and sounds) appealing, and I'll gobble up anything Shovel Knight. Only negative to me was the visuals for No Longer Human, I think it gave me epilepsy...at the very least a headache.
Castlevania isn't that big of a deal, Bloodstained and other indie properties show they can handle replicating the formula just fine. But a return of Silent Hill or Metal Gear Remakes are very welcome.
@mikegamer I imagine it's just the appeal of playing more graphically demanding games than switch can handle natively. Again, I'm not into Cloud games, I'm just saying this feature would have benefit this port in the end of it has a lot of performance hiccups.
@mikegamer It's not a horrid idea considering the weaker hardware and the rise of Game Pass streaming all over the place. But yeah last I tried a Cloud Switch demo I wasn't too impressed.
Well, I'm keeping my preorder but this news is disheartening. Bad Monkey Target physics and no multiplayer for the main game really hurt...I hope they care enough to release patches to help some of these issues 😔
Man this is a much more negative board than expected lol I have always thought Samus Returns and by extension this game are ugly as sin, but it looks like solid fun to play. I'm excited.
I wonder if this is the only compatible stylus? Considering the digital fee, the included pen is $20 and I have a capacitive stylus that would of course lack some accuracy and visibility...
This game proved Travis Strikes Again might as well be a numbered entry. There are more references to it in 3 than to the previous two games as a whole. If you're jumping straight from 2 to 3 expect to be extra confused.
From DS to Wii U was subtle and somewhat atmospheric. Problem with the Wii U one is how long you listen to it while the console does something VERY slowly.
Famicom by a long shot. That's a full theme song, and just as catchy as any game theme of the era. GameCube has nostalgia but that is not a catchy melody.
This game was an enigma of design...they absolutely nailed the combat, writing was ace as always, they benched the side characters that could have mixed things up, omitted level buildups to (mostly) great boss fights, made the open world way too open and removed mini games that are actually fun like 2.

Re: First Impressions: For Better Or Worse, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Look Like Extremely Safe Remakes
Bottom line, I'm glad I'll be able to play Gen 4 on the big screen, even if the aesthetics aren't perfect. It still beats DS hand cramps.

@nessisonett Nothing can be worse than Turnabout Big Top though, right?

Re: Best Ace Attorney Games Of All Time
Apollo lower than Justice for All? Man that's just cruel.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Ace Attorney Game?
Trials and Tribulations by a longshot. Apollo is a great follow-up, as were the 3DS entries, but there is no beating Prosecutor Godot and his incredible theme (Fragrance of Dark Coffee).
Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
I'm in the $5-10. That's still minor enough for a whole year subscription that it wouldn't bother me. Any more than that, and I'd be pretty bothered.

Re: Steve And Alex amiibo Available To Pre-Order As A Double Pack Or Standalone (Japan)
I mean...could they not have posed them even a little? Head turned, bending over...anything?
Re: Switch OLED Comes With A Screen Protector Installed, But Please Don't Remove It, Says Nintendo
@nukatha Exactly as you said. It's not a screen protector if you can't remove it if it gets scratched. It's essentially just the screen at that point.
Re: Consumer Advocacy Group Calls Out Nintendo For Joy-Con Drift Ahead Of Switch OLED Launch
Drift is certainly real, but for my joy-cons, a blast of contact cleaner resolves it for months. For my Pro controller I recalibrated and it's perfectly fine now.

Re: Soapbox: 10 Reasons Why Metroid Fusion Is The Best Game In The Series
Its a tossup between this and Zero Mission for me personally. I love them both for their own merits.

Re: Final Fantasy Kart Racer Chocobo GP Will Feature 20+ Characters
My dream character would be Heavy Tank from FF7 (the muscular Triceratops/tank hybrid).
Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
It's honestly super obvious, guys. Abraham Lincoln from Codename STEAM.
Re: Final Fantasy Kart Racer Chocobo GP Will Feature 20+ Characters
@AlexSora89 Exactly! That's why I'm hoping he's in it lol Day one download if it's confirmed 😎
Re: Final Fantasy Kart Racer Chocobo GP Will Feature 20+ Characters
I hope one of them is still Cactuar just...running. No kart.
Re: Rumour: Konami Reportedly Reviving Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, And Silent Hill
Castlevania isn't that big of a deal, Bloodstained and other indie properties show they can handle replicating the formula just fine. But a return of Silent Hill or Metal Gear Remakes are very welcome.

I never got to play the original so this is very welcome!

Re: Review: Darksiders III - A Poor Switch Port Of A Distinctly Average Series Entry
Sounds like this would have benefited from being a Cloud version.
Re: Nintendo's Monster Hunter Sale Discounts Five Games And Lots Of Rise DLC
In case you're wondering, all of the above are worth playing (though 3U is likely to test your patience the most).
Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?
Basic black doesn't burn my eyes out. I set my Xbox One to white theme and man is it brutal lol

Re: Show Your Love For Metroid Dread With These Officially Licensed Switch Accessories
These bright color schemes really don't scream "dread". And that controller could have been so much better...😒 Colored buttons or d-pad for starters.
Re: Video: We've Actually Played Metroid Dread, Does It Meet Our Expectations?
Man this is a much more negative board than expected lol I have always thought Samus Returns and by extension this game are ugly as sin, but it looks like solid fun to play. I'm excited.
Re: The Super Mario Movie's Release Date And Cast Are Revealed
@Specter_of-the_OLED Awe man that would ruin it. We need these guys just talking like themselves 100%.
Re: The Super Mario Movie's Release Date And Cast Are Revealed
@Specter_of-the_OLED That's what I mean. Their voices won't fit at all lol And I'm excited.
Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis Expansion Pack Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October
I hope future 64 plans include the first Smash Bros. too 😎
Re: The Super Mario Movie's Release Date And Cast Are Revealed
Nobody in the cast looks like they fit their role. I can't wait. Also calling it now, Martinet is the antagonist.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Finally Gets A New Trailer, Out In 2022
I can't believe it's almost here. Totally looks worth the wait.
Re: Review: Colors Live - A Basic Art Application Elevated By Clever Hardware
@StardusterEX Thanks for clarifying!
Re: Review: Colors Live - A Basic Art Application Elevated By Clever Hardware
I wonder if this is the only compatible stylus? Considering the digital fee, the included pen is $20 and I have a capacitive stylus that would of course lack some accuracy and visibility...
Re: Frantic Brawler Okinawa Rush Gets An October Release Date
This demo surprised me, I wasn't super into the goofy proportions of the character but the action actually feels pretty great.
Re: Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town Is The Next Free Trial For Nintendo Switch Online
What if Ninty just randomly gave you a free game like this and it was just yours at that point? If only 😒
Re: There's A Hidden Secret Inside The LEGO Super Mario Question Block Set
They really should have made the block a Metal Mario or Flight Cap block to fit this 64 theme.
Re: Video: SUDA51 On No More Heroes And The Future Of Travis Touchdown
This game proved Travis Strikes Again might as well be a numbered entry. There are more references to it in 3 than to the previous two games as a whole. If you're jumping straight from 2 to 3 expect to be extra confused.
Re: Video: We've Played Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, So Is It Any Good?
Can you disable the wheel of danger in Monkey Target? It's nitpicky but this was my favorite way to play with friends.

Re: Memory Pak: If Crashing In Burnout Is Wrong, Then I Don’t Want To Be Right
If you treat Gran Turismo like Burnout you will really upset people online 😏
Re: Yoda Voice Actor Tom Kane Retires After Stroke Takes Away His Voice
Too bad for this guy, his work speaks for itself and I commend him for doing Yoda's voice as long as he did. Must have been hell on his vocal chords.
Re: Random: This Incredible Zelda Skull Kid Puppet Is Terrifying In All The Right Ways
If it doesn't make wooden rattling sounds when moving the limbs then this is a major missed opportunity.

Re: Nintendo Changed The Culture At Retro Studios Following Metroid Prime Crunch
Prime 4 and Bayo 3 were announced way too early. The day we see a Direct re-announcing them with actual gameplay will be glorious.
