As I wrote yesterday on Pushsquare: I never been turned off more before in my life by a home console's "upgrade model". The improvements means nothing to me, and the price is enough to give me a headache. Don't even get me started on the lack of a disc drive and a vertical stand.
I stick with the original PS5 thank you very much.
On-topic: I'm not worried at all about the Switch 2's price range. If anything the PS5 Pro has, by comparision, made me as calm as a cat.😸
Iizuka talking rubbish as always. The Chao Garden concept was already included in the first two Sonic Advance games plus Sonic Pinball Party and, as @RupeeClock pointed out, it was also a standalone phone game in 2002.
I'm not the biggest fan of Chao Graden (or in the little creatures themselves for that matter) but suggesting its exclusive to the Adventure games is just non-sense.
@Warioware : You are welcome. I'm also hoping this MvC collection, along with the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2, will sell very well so there atleast be a chance for a TvC return.
@Warioware: Pretty much. As I understand it Capcom's license rights with Tatsunoko lapsed sometime during 2012 and Capcom hasn't made any known efforts to renew it since then.
I can't help but find it funny that long before Jack Black was confirmed for the movie, he already made a Minecraft reference through Tenacious D's music video "Video Games" from last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNJtPFXUnm4), and even that "Minecraft model" of him in said music video (0:53) looks like it would have fit more in the movie then Black just appearing as himself. XD
@Mrkittyhead: Same here. I wasn't even aware Minecraft: Story Mode was hated at all before this article. I never finished the game myself (I was near the end of the first season if I recall correctly) but while the game didn't exactly become a favorite of mine I did enjoy it for what it was.
Nice. I don't think I will pick this up since I don't have any attachment to the Zelda cartoon, but now I do and will watch that Youtube video of the "Excuse me princess!" line across all the episodes.
Thanks for the review. Pizza Tower was one of last year’s best surprise hits that I had the pleasure of playing and I’m so glad it finally got its console release.
Thanks for the review, I will get this asap because, while I watched the GK2/ Prosecutor's Gambit story before on Youtube, I been waiting too long to actually play the game for myself.
@Joeynator3000 : Wondering the same (about who is making the game that is). My guess is its yet another external company that Nintendo won't reveal before release, and of course someone will leak out that company's name prior to release by datamining the game.
If SoH is the last collab between Ubisoft and Nintendo (for now atleast, plus we might still get Rayman in the next Smash game) then atleast it arguably ends in a good note as the M+R games have been a blast to play.
Anyway, hoping for all the best to Nava moving forward.
Thats surprising, I always expected ASW making a Guilty Gear Strive port for the Switch 2 instead (they likely still do it is my guess). Nice news though, Strive is definitely not my top favorite among the GG games for various reasons but I still enjoy playing it nonetheless.
Thanks for the review. A seven of ten is pretty much what I expected having read several previews beforehand, thats fine with me. I won't lie, the issues with the gameplay’s core mechanics is really a minus but I can look past that if it means a splendid story and well-written characters. Hopefully the game will be successful enough that Nintendo will do more with the series in the long run.
I just now noticed that Tom has seemingly joined GUN, he has their emblem on his uniform (assuming the uniform isn't stolen or something like that).
@WaffleRaptor01 : Thats understandable, and thanks for the reply. But I was really just curious on Anti-Matter's thoughts here since..well I don't wanna say anything that will get me blocked or my reply removed so I just say that its sometimes hard to understand his perspective of things. Everyone is entiled to their opinions of course.
@Anti-Matter: Whats wrong with his looks? Judging someone by their appearance regardless of what they do is just a bit too harsh.
As great as another Crash & Spyro crossover would have been, it should have been just a separate individual spin-off, not the focus and selling point of a Crash 5. Crash and Spyro need to be able to stand on their own.
The Academy of Evil's return and the "going into the baddies' mind" plot would have been sufficient enough imo.
As for the canned Switch version of Crash Team Rumbe, meh, nothing of value was lost.🤷♂️
Played all three 'main' Prime games, never played Pinball (meh), Federation Force or Hunters but I read through the story of the last two, so I was pretty much already caught up with Prime's storyline.
Happy 15th anniversary to the compilation title btw!
I like to believe its KoF16 but they are already so busy with FF:CotW and propably the upcoming new AoF game as well so it highly unlikely, but who knows.
Needless to say miHoYo is obviously waiting for Switch 2 as pointed out by the article. They just never bothered to officially confirm they scrapped away the initial Switch version plans.
I still find it somehow amusing that GI before its release was announced for Switch and now four years later Xbox gets a port before it.🤭

Re: First Minecraft Movie Trailer Features Creepers, Piglins And Jack Black's Steve

At the very least this looks like it could preform relatively better compared to the Borderlands movie, not that that is saying much.
