I can't really quantify this. I play games to enjoy them, not watching the clock to rank my investment or complain on social media. If I reach the credits and feel content, it's a good game, no matter how quickly I got there.
It looks like both the visuals and combat were completely changed π Nonetheless, playing DQX untranslated for several hours was still enjoyable (even though I couldn't read anything), so I'd still buy this for sure if it gets localized.
I've been tossing around the idea of starting my file over from scratch, just for the busy work of organizing everything differently. Most of my AC friends have since stopped playing or sold their copies...I just want to have fun with it again π
@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 π
I tip my magician's hat to you, @KateGray π 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 π
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 π
These bright color schemes really don't scream "dread". And that controller could have been so much better...π Colored buttons or d-pad for starters.
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.

Honorable mention to Pikmin Adventure on Nintendoland!
Re: Poll: Pikmin Is Now 20 Years Old - Which Is Your Favourite Game In The Series?
Pikmin 2 with Wii controls. I'm all over the laid back, underground-focused experience. And in the words of Reggie, "I feel like a purple Pikmin."
Re: Review: Dungeon Encounters - Square Enix Strips Away RPG Finery To Expose The Meaty Bones Beneath
If an RPG looked like a Scrabble Board...π All jokes aside, I might actually give this one a go eventually.
Re: Soapbox: 8 Times I Ugly Cried At Kingdom Hearts
@nessisonett This hit too close to home. Even my inner child was pissed at that game π

Re: BloodRayne 1 And 2 ReVamped Both Sink Their Teeth Into Switch Next Month
One month too late. This would have been a perfect Halloween download π€·
Re: Digimon, Eat Your Heart Out: Monster-Fusing RPG Cassette Beasts Is Coming To Switch
These art styles clash way too hard for my interests. Looks like their hearts are in the right place though.
Re: Watch: The PokΓ©mon Company Drops Mysterious Legends: Arceus Video
They saw a naked Mimikyu for sure π±
Re: Poll: As Sora Joins Smash Bros. Ultimate, How Much Of The DLC Roster Do You Own?

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Everything Coming In The Final Free Update
@SwitchForce You'll get to meet many new roaches in your home! They've been keeping things tidy during your prolonged sleep π
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass Price?
It's an absurd markup, and I'll be upgrading my subscription day one. Congrats Nintendo, you win again π
Re: Yes, The Nintendo 64 Controller For Switch Has Rumble
I just have to know, what is inside the expansion port on the back? Looking at the picture it's safe to say they didn't hide the charging port there.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Version 2.0 Will Be The Game's Final Major Free Update
@Anti-Matter Right, if you keep your base $20 subscription, HHP will be $25 as its own separate download if you aren't wanting the NSO Expansion Pass.
Re: Froggy Chair is BACK in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
And thus the Internet, for a brief moment, was at peace.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Adding Cooking And Crops
@Zochmenos @Kirbo100 Goodness me I didn't even look at the family rate! Wow π³
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Adding Cooking And Crops
@Zochmenos Pretty sure it's $50, mate. Which is still really steep π
Re: LEGO Sadly Rejects Zelda, Metroid And Animal Crossing Design Finalists
On one hand I'm disappointed, but on the other those winners still deserve it. As simple as it is, that Office set would tempt me...

Re: Review: The Good Life - Cats, Dogs, And The Best Version Of Britain We've Seen Since Galar
So the whole affair is a tame mystery/life sim without any overarching darker themes or anything? Just a jolly jaunt in an English village?
Re: First Impressions: For Better Or Worse, PokΓ©mon 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.
Re: Soapbox: Why Apollo Justice Might Be The Best Ace Attorney Game
@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)
@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 π
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: Video: Here's The First 90 Minutes Of Metroid Dread
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.
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: Three Kingdom Hearts Games Are Coming To Switch, But They're All Cloud Versions
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.
Re: Round Up: Eight Awesome Switch Games From The Nintendo Life Indie Spotlight
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.

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 π
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.

Re: Video: Here's Another Look At Square Enix's New Racing Game Chocobo GP
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
