Got about halfway through this game on the PSP back in the day before spilling coffee on the PSP.. it was tough but good fun.

Not too shocked the game runs reasonably well on the Switch, it's similar enough to the Zelda "Dynasty Warriors" games that I'm sure there'd be no performance issues at all if Nintendo had done it in-house.

@Coolmusic That's the same vibe I'm getting from Peach's poster.. sinister. Let's hope this isn't signposting for a big last-third plot twist.

Could just be that Peach shares the same face & eye shape as Megamind.

Edit: Also, the character they've changed the least is Bowser.. yet he's definitely giving out that Jack Black energy.

The Reefslider's damage has been increased? Not sure why this was needed as its already near-impossible to counter, lets you get through difficult terrain untouched & annihilates groups of opponents, meanwhile the Ultra Stamp gets nothing & can be disarmed by a cold fart. :/

Only thing that could have annoyed me more is if they'd tripled the rate we face "Glowflies". :3

@Schizor88 Scores matter as many people consider review scores before buying a game.. if sales tank because of unfair reviews then Sega is less likely to stick to this gameplay style.

Sega has historically found great gameplay styles for Sonic that just needed a little work to turn them from average games into amazing games.. but thrown out all their work for something new. If Frontiers is good, it needs good reviews and sales to make Sega build on it for the next game.

Just want to point out that Sonic '06, a game that featured human/hedgehog romance & in many parts was COMPLETELY unplayable, is rated 4.4 on average.. higher that NLife's review of Sonic Frontiers.

Definitely doesn't smell right.

The problem Sega has is that they find something that works or at least "nearly" works, like Generations or Colors & instead of refining it, building on it and providing what gamers are looking for.. they immediately throw it away for something new.

Frontiers may not be perfect, but it IS a great base to refine, build on and turn into an amazing series in the future. Will Sega do this? Almost certainly not.. but the potential for a successful Sonic series is there.

@RubyCarbuncle 1500p was some of my higher scores when I was warmed up. Probably averaged about 900p for the night.. but spawncamping & hiding in the ink was definitely at insane levels.

You didn't let anyone down, I think the matchmaking was awful & needs some real work before the next splatfest. At one point it was me, three brand new players vs. a team of four Gear Ruler+6s who were obviously in a team chat.

@Rjejr I used to have an ethernet adapter especially for my Switch, it was pretty cheap but my landlord removed the cables from the flat. Though all the connection dropouts during my fest were someone else.

Pretty sure Team Gear was cheating, felt like Team Fun was being DDOS attacked during Splatfest. XD

Joking, well done!

It was a really good Splatfest but the matchmaking was horrific. I was constantly 1500p coverage, 12 splats.. and I was paired with people who couldn't aim at the floor successfully only about 8 wins from 30+ matches.

Goofy being added after the game's launch? What next, Dale being paid extra content in a Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers remake for the NES?

@RainbowGazelle To be fair to Sega, the technology wasn't really there before. Even in the PS3/360/GC era you'd be outside of draw distance inside a few seconds if Sonic moved at any speed.. racing games only keep up as you're moving on a fairly fixed path.

Not a fan of the style myself. The fairly rough looking Sonic is clashing with the realistic looking levels. Makes Sonic look EXTRA low poly.

@iLikeUrAttitude To be honest, patches (e.g. modification of the game code) is against Nintendo's terms of service they've already met nan requirements. As for how much they're cheating.. yes they will get more practice on the game & get an edge. Early promotional copies of the game are a necessary evil so it's understandable that Nintendo allow them so it's in no way a moral equivalent. Plus if someone is playing a modded copy of a game you can't necessarily tell everything that mod is doing so if Nintendo allowed "some" mods, they may as well allow all of them.

I think the three or four matches my friends and I played against invincible instant spawning inklings on Splat2 were enough to make me take several months off.

Oh bless him, Yu-Gi-Oh! Was a huge part of my life for years & I met a lot of great friends as I went from locals to nationals to working on summer tours, teaching younger kids to play.

While his original focus wasn't on the card game.. when the series was pushed in that direction he ran with it. His legacy lives with all the fun and fond memories current & retured duelist hold in their hearts.

Thought this was "Small Soldiers" for a second & then audibly sighed when I realised it wasn't. Good luck to Army Men though!

@Duffman92 The point was to make it obvious so people would notice it. Immaturity like this needs an audience.

@RubyCarbuncle I see where you are coming from, but please remember that Nintendo don't decide on the final punishment, the courts do. Also, consider that its designed to be a warning to other people, so a £50 fine & a week's community service would only lead to an increase in piracy as people weigh it up.

The balance theyre addressing is "a lifetime's free switch games for (insert punishment here)".

So older fans of Monkey Island are upset that it's art style isn't pixilated like the original 80s/90s games? Well lets apply that to Metroid, Mario, Zelda and more.. that mindset just doesn't hold water. The real issue is that because a Monkey Island game doesn't get released as often, the change feels bigger.

Fans should just revel in the fact that they're getting their beloved creator back & have faith in his vision for the game. If they give it support then it'll get another game and the style can adjust over time. Being entitled holes will simply lead to decades of wait.

@Zulzar People having made the Switch a hybrid was a mistake since long before its a release.. I remember tonnes of long since missing posters claiming it was "Nintendoomed". However, the Switch is ridiculously successful & outselling its competitors when there's stock and its certainly not down to its power.

Even if we call the hybrid aspect of the Switch a gimmick (personally disagree but respect your opinion), it allowed Nintendo to merge its handheld & console divisions for a more regular stream of output and marketing. That in itself makes it worthwhile as lack of output & poor marketing killed the WiiU.

For honesty's it's sake, I mostly play docked but do take my Switch out and about occasionally or play in the kitchen when my rooms hot. Personally appreciate the versatility.

This is done because people will wave their hands around close to each other, hit each other & then sue Nintendo. Sounds stupid but people have sued Pop Tarts as there isn't enough "real strawberry" in a strawberry Pop Tart. Worst thing is that even if Nintendo wins, in places like America they wouldn't necessarily get their court costs back.. they just lose thousands of dollars per case.

@BenAV It only happens to idiots until it happens to you, thats the thing, the streamer probably couldn't imagine ever letting the joycon go either. If something is one in a million.. well, there's a lot of people out there.

Not really a thing here. Not bothered about Netflix either, I have Netflix on my smart TV & if I wanted to watch it on the go, I might as well use my phone as the screen's not much smaller.

Thought that was the Entry Grade RX78-2 but that shield is definitely a different design.. maybe a more recent HG? RG Unicorn deserves respect though.. things a hand grenade.

Oh.. case looks fine, just ugly from the front, where we spend 90% of our time looking at it from.

"But he has to go fast" was missing from the synopsis.

Considering that Amy is in the initial trailer & it's being handled by someone from IDW, I'm hoping we see some of the Archie-verse, post SatAM character deprh seep into the storyline rather than plastering the game with new characters.

Voltorb, the Pokémon you can point to when someone accuses a new Pokémon of being unimaginative.. that and Muk.

The only reason I like them is that they use Explode like Gravelers, but have the good manners not to have the Sturdy ability.

Just looking at the images it looks like the sequel is capturing the whacky fun of the original, the real questions is whether they can make us CARE just as much. Odd to have Gattaca, 2001 Space Oddysey & Sonic the Hedgehog on my personal list of favourite movies together.

That Scorbunny pencil case reminds me of an anatomical photo I saw in a science book at school.. only it was a rabbit & it was its lungs instead of pencils. =3

@koffing Did not notice that! Good call.

@Crockin The trailer already confirmed some possible big differences.
1: Less spawn camping: Spawn is in the sky now & you fly into a range of area. Much harder to lock a team down.

2: The bow weapon at the start of the trailer has rope attached.. possibly a grappleshot? Could mean some crazy stage design.

3: Buddies, trainable assists? Was that robot crab piloted by your buddy animal.

Just a couple of things from a few seconds gameplay.

Chaos won & so we have our Chaos themed Splatoon 3. Awesome!! Please note Spawn Campers.. THERE IS NO SPAWN. Seems you fly in from the paint cans & have a range of area you can land in.. really hope this adds more skill into matches!

@daisygurl You do know that it specifies "any eshop game", not just Animal Crossing? I can think of a few games I'd like to pick up.

Me: Do you promise to be good game?
Game: Yes, I'll be sooo good!
NLife: What are you making this poor game say?

@gcunit Fortunately the RPG elements can help there. If you find yourself struggling with a level you can go back & grind an earlier level to level-up or purchase power-ups in a nearby shop. I played it back on PS3 and the feeling when you finally reach the right level & breakthrough is euphoric.

Well poop! Naw, congrats Shroomers!

@TheLightSpirit I was on Team Super Star and most of my matches were against my own side too. I'm guessing the servers were struggling a bit.

I absolutely loved this when it came out for my NeoGeo Pocket Color back in the day. It's a brilliant fighter and is different to enough to sit next to SNK Vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium when it's eventually released.

My only problem is that people can't experience it with the original micro-switch joystick from the NGPC.. still never played a handheld with better feeling controls.

Its my sincere hope that Ash Ketchum is retired, hopefully Pikachu's tears run out & he turns back to stone.

If Doom can run on a scientific calculator, it can run on almost anything.

Now get it running Doom '16 and I'll be impressed.

@aros2k It's a little while since that post so I can't exactly defend what I meant at the time.. but considering that even early 3300s had snake, I was probably concentrating on mobile/cell hardware specifically built with gaming in mind.

Early ROMs were fun, but would never really be considered a rival to handheld gaming.. but then neither was the nGage.

If Lego can get Nintendo to double my design spaces.. I still wouldn't download their designs. I'd appreciate it though.

@Clyde_Radcliffe I agree with you, I love the game & am well over 600 hours.. but it really does feel like its half the size of New Leaf with some crafting tacked on.

Halfway through the Mushroom diys now, once they're bagged I can take a nice long rest.

A shame! I was on Trick & my team was on fire, we got two 10x and a 100× battle in quick succession. Was fun seeing our names on the news reel for both.

Ah well can't wait until the next Splatfest!

Wouldn't be surprised if it was partly due to the current administration's attempts to attack anything that doesn't originate from the US. There's a lot less profit for smaller studios to bring things over themselves. Doesn't mean another company couldn't get the rights to translate the games though.

Whatever the troubles, good luck to Level 5, hope to see them back at full power soon.

In relation to the games, the reason they're only showing models for "The Edge of Reality" is because it likely looks terrible in motion. Dr Who games have been pretty awful historically & just ride on the license.

As for the show, I love Dr Who and am currently having troubles with it. I disliked Matt Smith as the Doctor but ended up liking his episodes as the writing kept me coming back. Jody is giving me the opposite problem, I think she has potential to be a great Doctor but the writing doesn't back her up. From small interpersonal moments to lore-changing retcons, it feels like someone struggling and throwing everything into the mix. Keep Jodie, change the showrunner.

The original C418 tracks could easily be remixed to fit in with a fighting game. As previous posters have pointed out, it's more likely a rights issue than anything else.

So a literal criminal enterprise were working to exploit consoles & make games available for free.

Unless of course the wire fraud was just them "backing up" their money. Should be fine then.

Niantic are just about to launch an event where you need to hatch as many eggs as you can to find Pokémon in special outfits on 02/10/2020. I do wonder if this might relate to egg distances doubling & putting more pressure on people to buy premium incubators.. one of Niantics favourite ways of milking money.

20XX, confirmation that the next Nintendo Platform will be Megaman. As long as I don't need to plug the cables in the same place as that inflatable Pikachu..

@fafonio Apologies if I seemed a bit harsh in my reply earlier, I usually do a second parse to reduce my sass, but was in a bit of a rush.

TBH I can't see your market so it could be that you're correct & the game is behaving oddly.. all I can say is that the only time I really suffered from franerate drop was when I stacked about 40/50 bugs all in one small area waiting for Flick. Any chance of a screenshot?

@fafonio Mario Maker has its limits too, but because the game is is much more simplistic technically & visually, the Switch needs to do less work.

There are thousands of players who've worked within the system's limits to make all sorts of wonderful, beautiful and imaginative islands including Crunchy Islands & their amazing maze islands (that feature regularly on YouTube).

Perhaps if you imagination fails at the first limitation, it's your imagination that is mediocre?

Awesome, I've never spent a penny on this game but still managed to play through all the story missions & events.. thats better than a lot of mobile games without gacha mechanics tbh.

Mario's chin actually covers the area that his nipples were on the older model.. they might still be there but we can't see them.

My main concern is who does that second drink belong to? Hairy Luigi-nipplegate is just a few inches to the left!

Awesome! The people who tended to pick up & display these trees tend to jump on people enmass that say anything negative about them (even mass flagging Youtubers who got the Dreamsuite deletion, telling him he was lying) and use the excuse that Nintendo has done nothing about them. Hopefully some red faces on the Facebook communities later.

@Mr-Glissando I temporarily had framerate issues with ANCH a while back, but that was due to having a huge number of fish & bugs stored in one area waiting for Flick to arrive (waited a month in the end). Once I'd cleared the area & restarted, my framerate went back to normal.

Obviously if that was the issue you'd have sorted it by yourself already, but that's been my only frame issue in the last 700hrs.
