Addictive game & alot of fun. I appreciate the rougelike twist to the super stale DD formula. I also like the Crowd Control system used for the game. Its a unique function thats very rewarding when you hit multiple enemies for health items & points. I really like this game but 7/10 seems like a very fair score.
Terrible games. I have so much nostalgia for the Genesis & SNES games. I can't believe how poorly they aged, and part of me wish i left this in the past. These games have cheap difficulty & incompetent game design. I don't regret my $10.00 digital purchase for the novelty of having these games (and the pretty good JP2 Gameboy game). Its a hard recommendation tho.
This reminds me alot of a diet version of PS3's Puppeteer, which is prob the best platformer on the console. I only played the demo, but I had fun with its unique style.
8/10: A perfect way to expand the series, but the Free Roam elements need alot of work. I enjoyed the Free Roam, I can see it being improved or refined with future installments. Knockout mode is 🔥
@Sonicka i hear u. I didnt buy this game yet, so i thought "hey...might as well grab the box." If you're double dipping & happy just getting the box, i can totally dig that as a collector. For me personally, ill just get this digital later on down the line.
This looks like its the first original and essential first party game for the Switch since Super Mario Odyssey. Looking forward to that package tomorrow!
This has to be the most underrated game of this year. Excellent game design, smart combat, and a touching story. This would definitely get an 8.5/10 from me.
Are consumers seriously defending a corporation's $10 price hike for a game that is releasing under the same weak ass 2015 hardware? LMAO. I'm buying it regardless but I wouldn't go as far as reasoning with it. Where were you guys when Demon Souls and Returnal came out.
I'll get it based on reviews. Im a die-hard Bayo fan, but this is a completely new genre & experience all together. But I am interested & i do like the art style. Getting Okami vibes so far.
This game stinks. I didn't like the controls, and the combat is below avg even for its time. I appreciate the novelty and context the game provides but I couldn't recommend this game to anyone. 4/10 - Below AVG
This is a good game. I just feel some quality of life adjustments would really help in a game like this. Being able to track the endings you achieved, places visited, and view the photos you unlock would've been nice.

Re: Review: Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Switch) - Up There With Best-Ever Arcade Marvel Games
Great game, incredible roster...but the beatemup enthusiast in me find a few things annoying & hard to unlearn:
GRAB/THROWS: I'm used to walking up and grabbing the enemy with ANY character instead of locking it to one button with SOME characters.
RECOVERY: Maybe im just unaware but i havent figured out a way to land on my feet just yet. Its usually with the jump button right before you land..
These aren't negatives and I appreciate MCI trying to seperate from other beatemups, but I honestly feel these are genre standards at this point.

Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
No one wants to have to reconnect a Wii to a CRT to replay these games. This is a worthy remaster.

Game hoarders will buy this & let it sit in their backlog until the end of time.
Re: Review: Master Detective Archives: Rain Code (Switch) - Macabre Mysteries, A Captivating Cast, A Few Frustrations
Its not DanGan & its lacking in the gameplay department....but the story & voice acting are VERY strong. I agree with the 7/10.

I'll be getting the upgrade. Its a good excuse to revisit this banger.
Re: Mini Review: The House Of The Dead 2: Remake (Switch) - Erratic Controls Chomp At Another Classic
The first remake disastrous, so i'm not too surprised about this.

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch Online GameCube Controller - The Return Of The King
@iLikeUrAttitude Same. I have large hands & its not very practicle for most games.

Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Best Way To Play, But 'Zelda Notes' Sucks
This game was more impactful in 2017. I don't see myself going back to this one.

Re: Sonic Superstars Introduces Trip, A New Villain Designed By Naoto Ohshima
I've been on board with this as soon as they confirmed they are keeping the retro engine's physics.
Re: Forever Entertainment Hints At New Remake Announcement In 2023
To be brutally honest, I haven't really liked their remakes. Panzer Dragoon fared better after patches but House of the Dead was disastrous.
Re: Taito Classic 'Parasol Stars' Is Getting A Revival On The Switch
Huge Rainbow Island fan. Idk why but i can play that game for hours. Watching those fat boys eat all those snacks gets me hungry too.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - An Absolute Marvel, But Is It Better Than BOTW?
If BotW is A New Hope, TotK is Empire Strikes Back.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Pikmin 4 On Switch - Best Deals And Cheapest Prices

Re: Talking Point: Which Version Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Your Favourite?
The remake is good, but pretty average. I prefer DX or even the OG over the remake.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Ikaruga
EU boxart is close, but i prefer the constrasted layers of the Japan cover

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
I prefer the North American one. The other one screams boring spinoff IMO.

Fair score, but this game is alot of fun.
Re: Review: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon - A Placid Prequel For Platinum's Star
This has to be the most underrated game of this year. Excellent game design, smart combat, and a touching story. This would definitely get an 8.5/10 from me.
Re: Review: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon - A Placid Prequel For Platinum's Star
I'm very surprised at Nintendolife exploring the scale for this one LOL. I enjoyed my time with the demo, so I will be buying this soon.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mega Man X2
Japan easily. America trying to sell a couple of vehicular moments. False adv at its finest

Re: Bayonetta 3 Has Sold Over 1 Million Units Since Launch
@Bunkerneath Activating Viola's witch time is terrible.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Has Sold Over 1 Million Units Since Launch

Re: Review: River City Girls Zero - An Authentic, Endearing 16-Bit Brawler Romp

Re: Review: Collection of SaGa Final Fantasy Legend - A Nostalgic Curiosity, But That's About It
I could never get into SaGa. Part of me wants to check this out for the novelty of having some obscure Gameboy games on Switch.
Re: Bury me, my Love
This is a good game. I just feel some quality of life adjustments would really help in a game like this. Being able to track the endings you achieved, places visited, and view the photos you unlock would've been nice.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Japan no doubt. The other looks pretty drab in my opinion.
