12 levels for 20 bucks? Pass

@JohnnyMind I'm curious, you post this same comment a lot on different articles over months. It's always positive, but if you're not interested in what you are commenting on, why are you always commenting on it? Generally wondering.

Kart World is kinda bad.

@Res462 they're terrible at optimizing but this is a huggggge detail filled open world. We may already be seeing the limits of the CPU.

@Medic_alert to counter your point I'd that most Switch 1 games ran worse over time. I think that's what people are responding to here when they worry about the Switch 2 already having trouble.

@AussieMcBucket as far as I know there have been at least two different versions of Sora. Sora LTD and Project Sora. Project Sora had a full team of people and made Uprising. But Sora existed before that and after that. The Sora LTD thing was a way to have him not just be a freelance hire for Nintendo, they were entering in a contract with a LTD, which he formed after Melee. I believe it's just him and his wife, that's why he's always partnering with Bandai Namco so there are actual bodies working for him. Also I know Hal isn't developing the game, but isn't it still technically a Hal game? It's like having GoodFeel do a Yoshi game and it's still a Nintendo game. Though obvious Nintendo and Hal co-own Kirby, so it's also a Nintendo game. I'll watch it again

@AussieMcBucket Sora is his studio (just him and his wife) who works for Hal or Nintendo usually with Bandai. Even look at the game profile under comments section, it lists Hal. He said the Hal president asked him to make this

@Johnny_Arthur I'd love a new port of the og RE4 with gyro controls as well and in 60fps.

@AussieMcBucket it's a Hal game and they are a second party dev., but they co-own Kirby with Nintendo. And it will be published by Nintendo. I have no idea what that makes this game lol.

Cover art looks incredibly generic. Colors feel off too.

@JokerCK was just defending other ppls frustrations. I have no interest in this game myself.

@JokerCK we like to actually own stuff

@N00BiSH it was a 45 minute presentation. Why withhold at all? How does one build anticipation when it isn't implying there's more to show outside of the character at the end?

Underwhelming. 4 racing tracks and one city trial map? No story mode? Why even bother releasing this if you didn't have enough time to properly make it?

@Wood_Stick no. The issue is that this was obviously designed for VRR in docked mode and then wasn't supported last minute. I just don't get how you can't see the issues in docked mode. Are you playing the game on a small screen when docked?

@sixrings remains to be seen if this is disappointing or not. Might be a controversial opinion but I think the original Air Ride isn't that great. There were dev troubles with it, and Sakurai had to take over director responsibilities but still I don't know. They gotta really sell me on this.

@Wood_Stick I have tried both. The game is really choppy and blurry in any wide open spaces when docked. It's smooth with VRR and the blur is hidden in handheld.

@Wood_Stick I played for 25 hours - it does not run nice docked unless you are in a story mission that has you in rooms inside of a building in small spaces. The city runs like crap in general. It is headache inducing when in a car going fast. Outdoors, like in the desert look bad and run poorly. In handheld mode the VRR really smooths fps when running it and performance mode and the smaller screen hides how soft looking the game is on a big TV

I find it odd to be excited for a lot of these games, given their ports would probably look pretty rough. And be more expensive. And (for those who care) not be on physical media.

@Wood_Stick Cyberpunk does not run well docked in any kind of open space. It feels made for the VRR that was never implemented in docked mode.

Team Sonic is just clueless with the decisions they make for Sonic. They've needed new leadership for a long time.

Just give it a hard mode already. Take the time and balance a hard mode. That with this new system would make this awesome. Make it to where I don't feel like I have to constantly cycle Pokemon so they don't get too strong and that I really need to use elemental weaknesses.

Hard pressed to think of another Nintendo first party release that I've ever been less interested in than this game. Ugly aesthetic and super not fun looking controls. This was obviously an internal prototype for mouse controls that they developed a little more to fill in a release schedule gap.

@RiasGremory they're a lot bigger than most amiibo (saw them in store together and they are really big compared to the new Zelda ones next to them). But 40 dollars is effin insane. The general price increase to even the new Nintendo Zelda amiibo completely killed my ammibo buying habit. You should at least get some of the paid dlc on these.

@CutchuSlow Konami owns a lot outside of video games - like pacinko parlours and stuff

@Gatorclops pretty sure this a legit and long running org? Isn't like this is a Smash Bros tournament lol...as I think you're referencing with your comments.

@Dee123 I don't think that's true at all these days. Everyone from 6 to 60 knows about speed running.my gf's kid at a very young age discovered it and loved watching. I've had people a lot older than me at work mention finding speed runs after discovering I play games. It's a concept that explains itself in name.

I've been conditioned to expect nothing from this company at this point. If a gun were put to my head I'd guess something on the level of the Mario day from a few years back. Announce movie news, announce some merch, probably go over games with Mario on Switch and how they are on sale, an event at the parks, etc. A quick 7 minutes.

Makes sense these don't offer upgrades or save file transfers. However no physical release in the west for Switch 1 or 2 or at least English on the card as an import option is so scummy. We are big reason this trilogy became the breakout hit the series had been waiting for.

Survey isn't working. It isn't just the link above, tried from a few different articles. It either got pulled or the servers got overwhelmed.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

@commentlife same sentiment tho Sakurai has grown as a dev since then annnnns the original Air Ride wasn't supposed to be directed by him. He took the project back over late in development. But yeah the original isn't great...potentially not all that good

@TheExile285 another reason I was bummed with the Direct yesterday. I assumed they were saving that announcement for that Direct, a Trails Switch 2 Edition. Guessing it's another company they didn't give a dev kit to until super late (maybe they only had time for Ys?).

Better get release dates for Nintendo games that were promised to me in April for the 450 dollar console I bought. This is getting ridiculous.

You wouldn't know a new Nintendo console launched this year from this Direct. Had basically no expectations for this, didn't anticipate any big announcements. My only slight expectation was some new footage of Eldin Ring and FF7 and releases dates. And this Direct still disappointed me lol. Bare minimum not met.

Porta of old games. Release dates of FF and Elden. Some super small new stuff. Nothing exciting. Game keycards.

@Elbarbo why would we have one in August lol

@LazyDaisy or they're testing crossplay. What a weird comment for you to make.

@Otimus yeah it's super annoying. DF is essentially a consumer report giving evaluations on stuff many should find of value. Complaining about DF the same as buying a new TV or car etc without reading a consumer report about what they're getting. To top it off they are generally really positive about Nintendo. But lord forbid they point out someway that Nintendo sort of shorts us (or the Switch 2 screen). Most people's comments here actually echo the final video analysis as well (2 systems for 2 demographics of players).

@kingbk and if you watched the video you'd know this was the final verdict. Exactly what you said.

Survey sucks, does not compare them to physical at all.

@N00BiSH have you seen Nerrels new Switch 2 review with an imperson of Richard in it? Where he goes inside the Switch 2 lol

@Shmoo they're a consumer report style channel for consumers. You should expect better from your products.

No gyro + no physical is a no buy for me. If one of those things was in it I'd consider buying.

@Dom_31 same concern here

@cedarhyped surprised it got that score. The game is an absolute mess in everyway. Story is a mess, performance is a mess, gameplay is a mess due to the kajiu style creature control and the camera not working well, stage levels are meandering etc. thought that was the general consensus.
