I'm not even a SF fan really, but that classic logo font is my favorite font of all-time. Nothing about this 6 logo says "Street Fighter" to me. Surely it's just an eSports placeholder.
I binged Chibi-Robo Photo Finder recently, and I only recommend it to Chibi-Robo enthusiasts. Ironically the picture-taking was my least favorite part thanks to the grainy low quality 3DS camera (and LOUD shutter noise), but I had fun with most of the game's other content.
@Damo Appreciate the heads-up on this one! Totally would have passed me by but looks right up my alley.
I'm curious, can you play the game holding the Switch vertically (like a big GBC)? It wouldn't be my preferred way to play but would be an awesome touch.
It comes off as being over-the-top most of the time, but if the voices were any less enthusiastic I would probably skip the dialogue altogether. So at least it's good for a laugh, as it only occasionally gets irritating.
Love this series. For the uninitiated, I'd say play the first game for the better campaign mode and Revelations 2 for the superior Raid Mode. But either way it's money well spent!
Also probably an unpopular opinion, but I always preferred the feel of 3DS XL+Circle Pad Pro over New 3DS XL with the tiny c-stick.
For the price of mostly gold coins, I'm enjoying this so far. The levels are so quick I can get a few in on my work breaks! Also I really like the dashboard thumbnail for this game.
Good to hear. I did contribute to the game's sales, I replayed the first game a second time the week before it released, and I hope to see this series continue (and improve).
@TheRedComet Interesting, appreciate the details! Yeah it does sound like it has a ton of cons versus pros. Having a whole added area (which went unused/unfinished on PSX) is pretty neat though. I can see why they wouldn't put forth the funds and effort to port each version, and I doubt we'd see this one ever get resurrected.
Just sad the last port of SoTN to date was the (in my opinion) crappy PSP port ripped from Dracula X Chronicles and sold exclusively on PSN.
I'm fine with Bloodstained carrying the torch from here on out and just having collections of past Castlevanias on Switch. And on that note, please port the Sega Saturn-SoTN, since I never got to play it...👀
The large, dead, black-eyed stare of these things removes any appeal these Pokemon originally had to me. I sincerely do not understand the appeal of these things.
This is the most anxiety inducing puzzle game I've played yet. Packed with charm but I can only play in bursts. Sure, I could mess with accessibility options and nobody would know, but then...I would know 😒
Yes I am someone who captures these things from their natural habitats and forces them into a PC box where the majority will sit indefinitely. And for the ones that don't, they bend to my will as they fight tooth and nail for my personal gain.
But this...is a little upsetting 😟
I have to be in a collect-a-thon mood, but when I am this one is a joy to revisit on Xbox. I strongly recommend it to those who haven't played yet but like 3D platformers.
@popey1980 Unfortunately the majority of Japanese games don't include English text/subtitles as an option by default, but Chinese ports usually do. In the case of Yo-Kai on Switch, no such port exists 😔
Also this game looks incredible and I also really hope for a localization (or an eventual import price drop at least).
@Crockin I haven't, and I get that it would be a major expenditure of resources. Obviously they're cutting corners which is fine, and I agree with you that cartoons of this era aren't dialogue heavy so that alone makes this piece feel bizarre. But I also kindof align with @JimiVall in that if it can't even try to be like the source material, why do it at all (outside the obvious cash and hype appeal). Overall it's a 🤷 from me, but if you dig it, good on ya.
@Crockin Time and effort should never be devalued in favor of hype and convenience. If their efforts were focused on a feature film instead of a series, it could be that much more special.
Isn't the whole novelty of the game how well it reflects old cartoons (along with the high difficulty of course)? And if you are going to make a full show of it, why not do the same? This is an oddball.
My largest complaint was the butchered Monkey Target, but I also mentioned the missing story/challenge co-op, gating half of the roster out of customization and party games, and weak sound effects. In hindsight, PC would have been the way to go since mods addressed a few of these minor issues.
Atlus heard you, Nintendo fans. More Persona spinoffs you want, more Persona spinoffs you get! This is actually a good fighting game, but seriously, why are they so against ports?
The game looks serviceable, but Steam reviews for this aren't really glowing. Here's hoping they have since addressed some of the complaints since it launched there!
Cautious optimism is the bottom line. This coincides with the wife's bday and while she got into the series with the 3DS games, she's already craving a game that changes up the formula. So nonetheless we're both excited to play.
The comparisons here don't do Balan a lot of favors. Like saying backtracking for a specific ability is a staple of Kirby. There's times in Kirby (especially recent games) where that can be a nuisance and we are seeing a new entry try a whole new approach to the formula because it's not always a positive there either.
Nonetheless, bold to defend this one and if it's for you, great. Nobody should have any valid reason to tell you not to enjoy something. To each their own, and we all have gaming guilty pleasures.
If the fans can make fun Sonic games using just open sandbox maps and actual momentum, Sonic Team has the potential to make something great here with a big budget.
Spider-Man 2 swinging physics are still a joy, and the silly added villains like Mysterio are a great diversion. Still love this one to bits, ugly character models, pizza song, and all.
I've definitely fallen in this rabbit hole with Minecraft ideas (though none of them turn out nearly this cool). One idea can turn into countless hours then questioning why I'm putting in so much effort. This is seriously impressive work.

Re: Review: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue - Cloud Version - The Heart's Just Not In It
This one especially stings with the main game included being a legitimate 3DS port 😔 It definitely deserved better.

Time to jump on those Wishlists. It's understandable but sad...I especially hold the 3DS very close. It carried me through some tough times.

Re: Final Fantasy's Cloud Strife Will Be A Season Pass Exclusive In Chocobo GP
This went from an absolute day one buy to probably never. This would only be tolerable if it was F2P which it definitely isn't.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Hopes For The February Nintendo Direct?
Unrealistically - a Chibi-Robo collection.
Realistically - a title and release date for the BotW sequel.

This is seriously impressive work.
