Now this is a story all about how,
The latest POP's character design, graphics and combat got flipped, I turned to Ubisoft and said, "really now?"
Now I'll just take a moment and sit right there,
How the latest POP got a near perfect score right here.
Even though Sonic can annoyingly be on the nose the "muh friends" at times. This is a fun show that's twisty, great banter and action, and paced well. Watch this if you haven't already.
For those playing on Hard, don't be ashamed of dropping the difficulty down of one or two notches if you want to clear certain sections, especially the one with a SNAKE. It feels like for the Final Horizon is set for those who has already cleared the game.
Also Knuckles's gliding..has it been tuned to not have the turning be so slow?
From what I've played. I rate this a least a point higher. The gameplay has improved though the slime mechanic takes some getting used to, a bunch of voice lines , and a single player campaign which has a few elements that Smash Bros World of Light needed (like having random mooks to fight) IMO. But yeah the Switch version while nothing too debilitating defiantly needs more optimization. The load times needs shorting (the loading music loops twice!) and the fighting gameplay (at least outside campaign mode and maybe bosses) needs to be 60 fps. Any fighting game worth their salt IS REQUIRED to be 60 fps.
This little blue hedgehog is looking to match...nay, surpass the power of the legendary plumber. He be such a fool to call out a god from such power...
NASB2's pre-release marketing had been frustrating as they've been only serving up character trailers. They're nice but I want hints to see what the game is like.
Besides also serving character reveals maybe also serve up gameplay demos, hints of single player content, music samplings, etc at a bi-weekly basis to keep customers satiated. All of this is being served more or less a week before the game is out. It's frustrating.
That being said.....
The rougelike single player campaign is looking good. I didn't expect character cameos and the voices of said cameos to be here. If this is the equivalent of Melee's adventure mode, that be hype.
And didn't expect the DLC roster to be revealed all at once.
Disappointed that Lucy is repping the Loud House without her brother or other sisters from here or DLC.
And Two firebenders? Probably would've left out Iroh for another Loud sister like Luan IMO, but let's see how he plays.
@Not_Soos Heh, I did say this needed to come out of Stadia purgatory before PMW2 so probably Pac Man World 2 is not to far... No, wait. They also need to release Championship Dx+ before this one. Sorry.
@Zulzar They did, until you use the 2024 version of the Unity engine which won't take effect until 2024 of which they'll use a lesser version of the milestone fee and possible other complications (like fees) the Unity CEO could possibly announce. Some developers don't want to take that looming hassle.
Funny story. My first 1st place win was after my second attempt at the Knight Grand Prix. The first was crashing out four tracks in. My mindset wasn't getting first place, it was simply to unlock Silence. Getting 1st place and hearing that Grand Prix finish music for the first time (before realizing that Grand Prix finish wasn't the first place win music) it was pure jubilation. I rose from my chair and threw up my hands in victory.
A few 1st place victories has been managed a few times. Mainly at the Silence end of the Knight Grand Prix.
How in the flip that the Switch version was even okayed when the PS4/Xbox1 isn't available for a baseline? Felt like the Switch version should've been canned.
The black dummy cars while a nuisance on the road don't refill the power meter but it still extends the meter when it's smoking. Attack em when you're able.
The red dummy cars when you get close or at pole position can do considerable damage to your car upon contact. Avoid!
And Surviving F-Zero is just as important as winning F-Zero.
Aang from the first one felt kinda ehh....... the air hovering in the air tech was neat but he lacked range and control to feel the air,
Felt like a bad take on a Smash bros Jigglypuff.
This one feels more realized and fun. Also we're taking advantage of his four elements mastery variation...Granted, majority of his moveset is still his airbending and there's probably only so much moves you can use for airbending but okay.
I don't mind the heavy inspiration even if this isn't as lovely drawn. Heck, a cartoon hand drawn run n gun other than cuphead can share the spotlight. I'm moreso concerned on how the game plays.....and I've been hearing round this parts that it isn't good.....worrying.
@Phostachio The same way people play and enjoy Sonic, Donkey Kong Country and A Hat In Time alongside Mario; Advance Wars, Xenoblade, and Final Fantasy alongside Fire Emblem and vice versa.

Surprising to see a port of 3.
I've heard that the humor became too overbearing compared to the last 2 and the story is a frustrating disappointment.
