So the Three Kindergarden Sim is back to tactical gameplay? Too good to be true. I really have to read more Reviews. My disappointment with Three Houses was so big - I can't just focus on the Review on this page.
So they are disappointed with Sparks of Hope sales? Ehmmm... they cut Couch-Coop and Battle Grid. So while I think Kingdom Battle is one of the best Switch games to this day I don't even think about buying Sparks of Hope.
Just an example.
Else... same old story since years. UBIs on the edge as they where 10 years ago. Nothing new.
@fishbulb And you should go and learn reading. @invictus4000 clearly stated "even for offline play". Which is interesting information for me. So I will not buy the game. Even not when it's in sale.
Nintendo made a brilliant Golf Game with Wii Sports. Then destroyed it with Wii Sports Ressort. Then made a time trial Golf Game with Mario Golf: Super Rush. Interested to see wich route this one takes. But my lessons learned are: Do not rely on Nintendo when it comes to a Golf Game.
Square really shouldn't hang on this HD-2D engine. I see in this game it's mostly the sprites that look ugly while others (OT, TS) just look unsharp overall.
If this is what we can expect for future titles then I'd say: Thanx for your effort bringing Turn Based Tactical games to Switch, but: No, thanx.
I don't want to hurt my eyes while playing games. So I'll rather go and play Banner of the Maid a 3rd time then buying TO for a full fat price.
Wait. No local Multiplayer? That's annoying! Couch Co-op was such a big fun at Kingdom Battles. We loved it! Sorry to say but with getting half of the game modes I'll wait for a half of the price sale. What a missed opportunity, UBI!
FPS is the most overrated factor when it comes to gaming. Game mechanics and gameplay loop is what people let play a game or leave it alone. FPS discussion really is for people who talk about length of other things.
Ehmmm... there are no folders. There are just tags and they want us to believe you can do folders.
And how can anyone who hasn't 2000+ games in the library know that the tagging works in this case?
The Sparks thing reads very interesting but I'm still very sceptical about removing the grid. Also: They're overtaxing the battle system in the video - which is a BAD sign. Like: We know it's bad so we have to emphasize how good it is. The Sparks thing could be good but implemented wrong it has the potential to make the protagonists interchangeable. Which would be very bad. Hope they'll give us a Demo version to test the new system. Kingdom Battle 2.0 would have been a no-brainer for me as it's one of the best games on Switch I've played to this day. From what I've seen of Sparks of Hope it's more of a: "Gosh! Fingers crossed they didn't f***ed it up." It's still UBI you know?
Take a look, Nintendo. Instead of forcing us into "New Extended Game Pass Plus Special Extended Edition" subscriptions they should just do the same. But physical - of course!
Hmmm... wanted to write: "1st day buy for the license alone.". Then I saw the video. Seems like to be some kind of... comedy Star Trek? I'm a bit irritated now.
I'm so super frustrated because they cut the grid out of the battlefield for... more randomness? I hope there will be a demo to try out how the new battles feel. Under normal circumstances this would have been a day-1-buy for me...
The idea is fantastic and it seems kind of easy to install even with low skills doing things like this.
Wrong Aspect Ratio alone is a dealbreaker. Blurryness on top? Meh!
Good bye, Aquiris and thanx for this wonderful game! Personally I don't believe this is for the good. They sell their freedom and putting on the bracelets of a "big one". I can't remember things like that turned out good in the past.
What about just using the cable delivered with the Genki-Dock?
It's L-Style (don't know the exact English word, you can see it in the video at 2:25) so you can use it with Switch OLED and the new stand Switch OLED has.
This way Switch OLED gets more fresh air then in the original dock and it stands rock stable. (But with Switch OLED only, kickstand of old Switch doesn't work.)
Even original Genki-Dock is a wonderful piece of hardware!
@BTB20 "I think it's better that way, you can add any game to several folders instead of just one."
Ehmmm... in a perfect word you can have folders AND tagging combined. Hot ***** - I know.
The way it's implemented it doesn't help at all. So: Let's assume Nintendo doesn't have the skills to implement folders, so just let us set the games library to default view for the console and give us the freedom to sort the icons.
Ehmmm... this is not folders. They don't appear in "Games" nor in "all Games". You have to scroll to all games and then press an extra button. Like someone else above said: It's tagging.
Don't expect you can clean up your "desktop" with the new feature. It's half baked rubbish as it is.
There's 1.0.7 Update for DOOM 2 on Switch indeed, but... how can it help Ukraine if I don't have to pay a buck or two? I was ready for paying for a Mini-DLC or something like this...
@Ear_wiG @Bydlak I can't play it because - in my eyes - it just looks ugly. I know most people don't agree to this. But - for me - it's just unsharp and hurting my eyes when playing more then half an hour.
Please: No! I really hate this HD-2D graphics. Blurryness in HD. It's hurting my eyes because nothing is sharp on the screen. Even not pixels! Who needs this?
Part 1 seemed interesting to me but was too pricey from my point of view. Now - not even 4 months later - pretty much the same for the same price? Seems like they're milking a cow pretty early. You'll have to be a fanboy of the 1st part to buy this I think.
