Looking forward to this game. In hindsight, the last game was just alright...but I feel Tribute will make a better game now with the current run they're having. I'll be skipping the physical edition. I play beatemups on short spurts & id rather not have to swap discs.
@Spookydux Hey I agree. Absolum is actually an evolution of SoR4 (one of the same dev teams) and beatemups in general. Both have alot of variety with combat in different ways. Biggest difference, Absolum roguelite elements encourage you to experiment.
As a beatemup enthusiast, im having alot of fun with this game. With Yuke's developing, it feels alot like an "arena" fighter like Powerstone with some wrestling game elements. Im still learning the game as its surprisingly deep. Also I originally didnt like the artstyle for this game, but it looks good in motion.
@Lofoten i forgot about Quackshot. That's a SEGA game tho, these are the Capcom games. I do think it would be cool if SEGA made a collection of their Disney games. They have some classics.
Japan for sure. It accurately depicts the game. NA always trying to sell some dynamic movements & new accessories (see MMX2). Megaman in the Red Accessory color is just 🤢
After replaying Systemshock, Powerslave, Heretic/Hexen & Quake 1/2...this was the best generation of FPS from a creative standpoint. So many great ideas.
I'll give it 7/10. Not so much bc of the 1st software (only 1 must-have exclusive: Bananza), but its great to see Nintendo catch up and have a well-performing console.
Seeing Hades 2 & Prime 4 perform at 120FPS on a Nintendo console is unreal considering how behind tech Nintendo has been since the Wii era. I GET the "Switch Pro" label...but the tech is worth it for someone like me.
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.

Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
Great collection but in my opinion, these games don't work well portably. They play best on screen with detached joycons.

Re: Absolum's First Free Content Update Arrives Next Month
This is up there with Streets 4 as one of the GOAT beatemups.

Inferior version to a classic.
Re: Fans Uncover Unused Dialogue From Metroid Prime 4
The Other M = Myles
All jokes aside...talk about the biggest exaggeration...Myles was not that annoying. Prime 4 flawed & dated game design is more annoying than Myles.

Lots of essential titles.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Marvel Games
@NintendoBMA I want to see Konami do a Beatemup Collection with X-Men, Simpsons, Metamorphic Force etc. Liscensing will be a BIG issue tho.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Marvel Games
All these games are good except Ultimate Alliance. Sold my copy years ago with no regrets.

@Misima True. Mega Man 9 was very close, but even that was almost 20 years ago now too 🤣
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Two Classic Platformers
Rayman 2 on the Dreamcast & PS2 is a classic.
Re: Mega Man Returns In 2027 With A "Brand-New Entry" For Switch And Switch 2
Mega Man II on the NES got me into gaming, so this is a required purchase 💙

Re: Metroid Prime 4 On Switch 1 Impresses Digital Foundry - "Nigh-Imperceptible Dips"

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?
It's Nintendo's Duke Nukem Forever....but its not bad (6/10)
Re: Talking Point: Six Months Since Launch, How Would You Rate Switch 2?
I'll give it 7/10. Not so much bc of the 1st software (only 1 must-have exclusive: Bananza), but its great to see Nintendo catch up and have a well-performing console.
Seeing Hades 2 & Prime 4 perform at 120FPS on a Nintendo console is unreal considering how behind tech Nintendo has been since the Wii era. I GET the "Switch Pro" label...but the tech is worth it for someone like me.
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: Neva (Switch) - A Raw, Engrossing Platformer That Looks Incredible

Re: Sega Provides Updated Sales Figures For Sonic Frontiers And Sonic Superstars
I wonder how Sonic Origins did.
Re: Review: Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons (Switch) - Likeable, But Lacks Its Peers' Punch
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.

Re: Poll: Will You Play Resident Evil Requiem In First-Person Or Third-Person?
Not sure. Gotta see which feels better.
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.
