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.🤭
I wonder where that Nintendo Life user with the "man puncing on giant NES controller" profile image is? The section with the giant controllers should be right up their alley. I know it is for me!^^
@AX-7: Technically there are Disney museums, but they are mainly about the works & life of Walt and his family.
I’m a little bit wary of Krafton but other then that this is a nice surprise. Would be funny to see a Hi-Fi Rush sequel release on all consoles save for Xbox lol.
Never even heard of Stumble Guys before yesterday, and this one is appearently more popular then Fall Guys huh. A clone/rip-off becoming more popular then the game it was cloning/ripping-off from is not unheard of but I still find the whole thing funny nonetheless.
@McBurn : Indeed I agree with your point here, but I believe a better example to use is Detective Conan/Case Closed.
In fairness One Piece entered its final saga about two years or so ago, so atleast that series is nearing its conclusion. The same can't be said about Conan which still goes on its own persistent, tedious journey and shows (far as I'm aware) no signs of it nearing its ending despite a few major plotpoints being recently revealed.
(Also, sorry for 'necroposting' here, I was just looking through Trails articles for a different reason and stumbled upon the later replies here.)
@Ace-Lucario : There were already five Pokemon games added on NSO before this; Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokemon Snap, Pokémon Puzzle League, and Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2. Mystery Dungeon is the sixth one.
Looking forward to see the official translation work in Prosecutor's Gambit, especially the names so I can compare which ones I personally find better or worse then the fan translation.
@Tyranexx: Don't worry about playing this before the Apollo Justice trilogy. I think there are like atleast two references to the trilogy in this collection but they are quite minor and have no bearing on the overall AA Investigations story here.
I'm not sad, its good that Sonic and Mario were able to have a official non-Smash crossover at all to begin with but going with the olympics was just plain dumb. People wanted to see the two icons have a epic adventure & platform gameplay, not doing sports and athletics.
I'm neutral on Tingle, don’t hate him but don't like him either. There are far more interesting and/or amusing Zelda characters who deserves more time in the spotlight then him (looking at you Groose).
That said, should he reappear in the main games it should only be if Nintendo can provide him with a valid supporting role in the story if possible and not solely for comic relief. Let him continue to be his "funny" self if they want but keep him relevant, otherwise don't bother and keep him limited to camoes, spin-offs etc.
I never heard of Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age until now, Damkima looks hot.
Outside of that, the game itself looks…eh, I would have to try it to get a better feel of it obviously but right now it doesn't do much for me.

All that mattered to me:
MvC Fighting Collection release date, Capcom Fighting Collection 2 announced, and Pizza Tower console release.
Yay!

Re: Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch
Its just a matter of waiting for official confirmation in the Partner Direct.
One of my favs of the early Worms games.
Re: Video: Sakurai Looks Back On The Super Smash Bros. 'Dojo' Marketing Campaigns
I knew of the DOJO marketing campaign for Melee but never knew there was one for Smash 64, nice to learn something new.
I never forget the excitement of the Brawl DOJO on a daily basis, those were the days...
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Movie Trailer Finally Reveals Keanu Reeves' Shadow
Hype!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
And Gerald is still alive?!
@Anti-Matter: What issue do you have against Keanu? And please don't tell me its because of the many "mature" roles he has done over the years.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Has Already Toured Nintendo's Museum
Lucky Sakurai. Personally I'm interested in seeing what kind of section, if any, the musuem has set up for the SSB series.

Re: Rachael Lillis, Voice Actor For Pokémon's Misty And Jessie, Has Passed Away
@Olliemar28: Hi. Seems the inital info on her age (46) was incorrect, appearently Rachael was 55 at the time of her death.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/12/arts/television/rachael-lillis-dead.html
Tara Jayne Sands (who voiced Bulbasaur) confirms it too.
https://x.com/TaraSandsVO/status/1823137433258754395
55 is still too soon though.😞
Re: Rachael Lillis, Voice Actor For Pokémon's Misty And Jessie, Has Passed Away
I always loved her Jessie voice. Passing away at 46 is just way too soon.🥺
Rest in peace Rachael Lillis, thank you for everything.❤️

Count me in, I enjoyed the original, and I also loved Pocky & Rocky Reshrined.

Re: Rumour: Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games "Finished"
I'm not sad, its good that Sonic and Mario were able to have a official non-Smash crossover at all to begin with but going with the olympics was just plain dumb. People wanted to see the two icons have a epic adventure & platform gameplay, not doing sports and athletics.
Re: Soapbox: 20 Years After His Last Mainline Appearance, Tingle Deserves A Comeback
I'm neutral on Tingle, don’t hate him but don't like him either. There are far more interesting and/or amusing Zelda characters who deserves more time in the spotlight then him (looking at you Groose).
That said, should he reappear in the main games it should only be if Nintendo can provide him with a valid supporting role in the story if possible and not solely for comic relief. Let him continue to be his "funny" self if they want but keep him relevant, otherwise don't bother and keep him limited to camoes, spin-offs etc.
