@a1904 No Nintendo game that averages 80 has ever been remembered more over time than one that averages +90. I expected Metroid Prime 4 to be revolutionary like Zelda: BotW was in its moment, but it seems it will end up forgotten.
@Smackosynthesis Open worlds shouldn't disappear; it's Nintendo that needs to understand that not all games have to be like Breath of the Wild, he could have advised Retro Studios in that case.
I hope we'll one day see the sales breakdown for Hogwarts Legacy by console; the Switch version is the best-selling in markets like the UK and France. I'd love to know how many copies it's sold already.
Amidst all this discussion about whether Pokémon Z-A is a flop or not, no one is talking about the real flop in the UK market: Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, the MK World killer.
@MamaSymphonia You're not a "minority." Mario simply has plenty of haters who express their frustration with every installment starring the plumber, hoping it would fail. I remember Mario Odyssey also received hate, and it's a perfect game (97 on Metacritic and OpenCritic).

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
@Qwiff I'm sorry, but I can't take IGN seriously when they gave Concord a 7... In that case, Metroid Prime 4 should have a higher score.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
@UltimateOtaku91 81 is a bad score for a Metroid game.
Re: Drag x Drive Devs Tried Wheelchair Basketball In Prep For Game
They should constantly update the game to improve it and over time make it a better game, thus justifying the $20 it costs (same price as Silksong).
Re: "It's Make-Or-Break For Sure" - Shovel Knight Dev's Fate Rests On Upcoming Zelda-Like
If they don't sell as expected and are close to closing... it would be good for Nintendo to try to acquire them.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
If it's going to be a GKC, why does it cost $70? Shouldn't it be cheaper? It's amazing how The Pokémon Company likes to rip people off.

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Sales Hit The Brakes So Hard Last Quarter, Even 'Rise' Outsold It
@HugoGED After Resident Evil 7, 8, and 9 on GKC, do people really think Capcom will go back to using traditional cartridges? 😭

Re: Nintendo Direct For Kirby Air Riders Announced For Thursday, 23rd October
Meanwhile, MP4 doesn't have a single dedicated Direct... the mistreatment Samus suffers from Nintendo is worthy of a studio.
Re: Nintendo Direct For Kirby Air Riders Announced For Thursday, 23rd October
@Markatron84 They're probably trying to convince the public. Except for Kirby fans themselves, I don't see many people excited about this game.
Re: Japanese Charts: Little Nightmares III Makes A Respectable Debut
@OLD64FOREVER Are there people still playing on Xbox Series?
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Why Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Was Delayed On Switch 2
I wish they had released Yakuza 0: Director's Cut on a traditional physical version and not on a GCK.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Galaxy Loses Steam As Battlefield Blasts Onto The Scene
Little is said about the fact that Sonic Racing CrossWorlds has been a complete failure...
Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 Port For Switch 2 Really Does "Exist", It's Claimed
@OmnitronVariant It's users of other consoles like PlayStation who are asking for a "next gen" version.

@johnedwin What are you waiting for? What's moving at 120fps?
Re: Japanese Charts: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Can't Compete With Mario Kart World
@poyo_pie Technically, Sonic never had the brand power to compete with Mario.

@KITG_GROUP Even if it comes out on Switch 2 it won't change anything, man.
