Only have Zelda and Ring Fit. Had Mario Kart but I gave it to my friends' son. Love my Switch but most of these Nintendo blockbusters simply don't appeal to me.
That's right. It should be patched. Also, you cannot have your analog stick inverted for y axis and the motion controls regular at the same time. And that's the most intuitive and convenient control scheme for me: inverted stick + not-inverted motion controls for fine-tuning.
Apart from these minor issues, the game is awesome! A must have for retro shooters fans. Way better in terms of gameplay than Project Warlock and Ion Fury, even though these games are quite solid themselves.
Which ones do you mean? The Sega Genesis collection? Btw. I had recently the impression that Progear in Capcom Arcade is playing more smoothly than before, a patch maybe?
Unexpectedly I'm back to Axiom Verge. Never finished it when I got it as I get stuck at some 35%. This time I found a grapple and I'm ready to finish it eventually.
@Yanina Definitely not a joke. There's the same info on Nintendo Everything. I don't think NL would copy their jokes.
[EDIT] Probably a joke, after all. And an old one. It's a shame we're not getting this game. Also not very ingenious of NL to copy fake info that's not even fresh.
I love the 2d soulslikes but there's something that visually puts me off. Maybe it's sort of too intense color wise? And as such it reminds those cheap hidden objects games?
I used to love to play this one on an emulator a long time ago. But now on the Switch it lost its charm somehow to me. Too many more polished games round the corner and too little time.
@TheLightSpirit An interesting point, indeed. So, there's the first impression which is based on trailers, screenshots, and articles on sites such as our lovely NL. If something passes this stage, I would be seeing some real gameplay on yt. And then I would buy it or add to the wishlist or just skip. The real judging part, however, comes only after I'd actually have played the game. Accordingly, my initial post was not an expression of an opinion or judgement (meant as a point or a assertion) but just a recollection of my first psychological impression of that game (as an experience) which eventually turned out to be in line with this review.
@Gavintendo This is just what the op sarcastically meant, I guess. It's a shame, actually, that they force me to download this data for sake of the features I may never use.
@Itachi2099 Because the mobile version spies on you and the company makes profit selling the info they've gathered from the users to 3rd party companies.
This is very bad news because it means that we will have to way another couple of years for a proper 2D Worms game. That's a shame because after some 500 into WMD (playing with a human opponent), I could really use some change!
Bravely Default 2! It absolutely exceeded my expectations. A great jrpg for those who value the retro vibe. And the graphics are not that bad, you can get used to it. In the field, it actually looks quite nice.
To me, this stuff is a blast! I wanted to play Commando on my Switch since the very first day. And there are so many more! The emulation is fluent and on top of that, there's a cool achievement system.

Actually, I prefer the original, I guess. It's more clear.

I'm not interested in the game, but that's some nice PR effort.

And they could have somehow explored the sound department instead, as it was advertised. Not much difference to me but still.

Re: No Joke, PlatinumGames Is Releasing Sol Cresta On The Nintendo Switch
I would love to get this one. I guess it's not a joke as the Japanese links work.
Re: Dead Cells' Free Whack-A-Mole Update Adds "Insanely Large" Weapons, New Mutations And More
My NS copy is not receiving any update. The article is misleading.

More on the average side, I guess.

Re: Review: Balan Wonderworld - A Charmless, Confusing Fossil From The Creators Of Sonic
@TheLightSpirit It's perfectly fine. That's what we are at this site for, I guess. Thank you for allowing me to clarify my point.
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
I would love a Jet Set Willy remake, a 2d one.

Re: Review: Balan Wonderworld - A Charmless, Confusing Fossil From The Creators Of Sonic
My very first impression after seeing the trailer was: wtf, how can Square publish such a crap game?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 20th)
Still into Bravely Default 2. I got really hooked on this game from the release day. It's such a polished modern-retro jrpg!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 6th)
Bravely Default 2! A very good traditional but slightly modernized jrpg. Just to my liking!
Re: Video: Beautiful Ghibli-Esque Platformer Hoa Gets A 7-Minute Gameplay Trailer

Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For March And April 2021
Not much interesting, apart from Monster Hunter. It seems, we'll have a weak March after a decent February.
