@Lony85 it is, unless it’s multiplayer games like Mario Kart, since each digital purchase can be played at the same time by 2 accounts, while you’d need one cartridge for each Switch.

If “less data to install” is a significant Pro than “no need to change cartridges” and “instant switch to a different game” are too.

I really gotta try this game again, because I couldn’t gel with it on Game Pass (I basically use my GPU sub to demo games I want to get on Switch) but I wanna give it another go

@Vyacheslav333 because it’s a great game that made you feel like a ninja-like hanging onto stuff and pulling somersaults, with incredible graphics and boss designs in a time when that was going to turn heads. The huge boost in popularity came with the magnificent Mega Drive (Genesis) port back in the day which was one of the best games on the platform. Also, I don’t find the game that difficult at all, I was rusty at first but after 2/3 hours I could 1 credit it again pretty easily. The Megadrive port is super easy to beat, maybe try that?

Also Chōmakaimura (Super GnG) is p**s easy, so try to beat og GNG arcade or even Ghouls ‘n Ghost, they’re both on Capcom Arcade Stadium!

I’m super glad this is coming out, and I will definitely pick this up but, considering Inin’s usual work for emulated stuff (they’re not M2 you know) the price for the digital edition are crazy. So, I’ll wait for a sale (16,99€ is my sweet spot for this kind of releases (had no problem spending heavy for stuff like Esp Rade Psi but this ain’t it).

Just watch this not even having a proper high score mode with online leaderboards, exactly like AQUARIO and Wonder Boy Collection didn’t.

@Type_Trubbish it obviously only counts Switch reviews, yes.

Also we’re still missing that one ACA Marvel Land from December 15th in the west, weird.

http://hamster.co.jp/arcadearchives/switch/marvel-land.htm

Hopefully in the future the PS4 JPN exclusive ACA Wonder Boy (Sega’s/Westone’s Wonder Boy arcade game) will make it to the west and ported to Switch, because the Wonder Boy collection doesn’t have online leaderboards

GF’s best game uh? Pj is awesome but it’s no HARMOKNIGHT please port (and give it some score based online leaderboards while at it)!

Also, ugh, AA exclusivity means that if it’ll ever come it’ll be 6 months/1 year from now… IF (even TEMBO was never ported to a Nintendo console and that one’s also great!)

On my radar, I was waiting for a possible Switch port after playing a couple hours (although it honestly has zero resemblance to Lucasarts’ output, but I understand for some that is the only name they are familiar with for point-and-click adventures). Anyway, yay!

Can I have it without “WE❤️KIRBY” text?

@robr or you could play around 8$ a year for a spot on a family plan instead, like most of us do

@Serpenterror thanks for the reply, but you’re off base with this one, check the posts below yours to understand what I meant.
Sega Genesis collection has awful emulation, it has nothing to do with og hardware and its revisions.

@Serpenterror yeah sorry that’s the collection I meant. Stuttering, lag, sound issues, borked music… the emulation has a plethora of issues that would definitely impact my personal enjoyment. :/

NSO still missing MD/GEN secret best game: FLICKY.
I know it’s on the mediocre SEGA GENESIS CLASSICS Collection, I’d rather have it in the NSO since I’m a subscriber.
Also, Combat Cars and Mega Bomberman please.

@Yellowgrenade Selected 1st party games get 30%off a couple times a year. A big Black Friday/CM sale including Nintendo’s games just ended a like 3 weeks ago (EU).

Famicom Detective had never been on sale tho! 30%off wouldn’t even cut it for me (unless it was physical), 50%off would be my personal tipping point.

@shake_zula look again, there are proper links to Gematsu and the article. In fact, you can say NL articles might have their own issues but if there’s one thing the NL staff have always done well and never failed to provide is to give proper credit to og sources. Unless those links weren’t there before (but at least it was swiftly corrected, if that was the case)?

HECK YES! Down for the Oath remaster!

Don’t care about “modern” Ys, but keep the “2D”/isometric Ys coming because I LOVE those..

Considering the localization is done already, hopefully it’ll come here sooner rather than later.

Celceta next!

@Ryu_Niiyama it wasn’t about addiction, it was about gambling and ties to the mob (lol). For Pinball, Sharpe (one of the best pinball players and designers of all time) had to demonstrate, by playing a game of pinball how it was a game of skill and not a game of luck.

Edit: here’s one of many articles:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/8gdwn3/tracing-the-history-of-pinball-from-illegal-gambling-to-mac-demarco-195

Everyone saying bad parents and dismissing Epic being at fault, both statements can be true you know? The parents surely have failed intervening to help their kids and at the same time the game can be made to purposefully be addictive, and to children in particular. Nowadays there are many many games built on the same predatory allure and features that casinos and gambling venues/products have, hiring people with tailored toolsets and knowhow on how to build an addictive interaction which is going to be much more effective on the youngest.

Looks great and really interesting, top-notch presentation. Thanks, was hoping you guys would review this!

@nessisonett you’re trolling right? Why would you even entertain the idea that the players will be flown to the tournament each with a private jet instead of paying for their tickets on commercial airlines? LMAO! do you think the guy’s made of money?

@Stubborn_Monkey actually, the article is right and you got you wrong, Rogen owns one.

Seth Rogen: "I have a PlayChoice-10 in my house, which is like a stand-up Nintendo arcade machine that has 10 classic games like Contra, ExciteBike, Rush’n Attack, Double Dribble and the...[…]”

There.

@KindofaBigDeal omg a sensible comment on a NL’s story/news, I almost have faith in humanity again

“Sifu’s smooooth combat” not on Switch it ain’t 😂
@Deepdoop it’s a VERY significant downgrade, in handheld mode it’s even worse, visually the complete lack of any shadow destroyed the comic-book artstyle, while performance is just abysmal, mostly 20/25fps (originally a 60fps game).

@KateGray like clockwork, every freakin’ time, people are forced at gunpoint to click and read every article, didn’t you know?

@vexx234 because they are annoying people who love to complain about literally everything that isn’t specifically aimed at them.

Games sold 1.5M digitally in 3 days, debuting with 4.05 Millions total and thus becoming the fastest selling game ever in Japan (Splat3 was previous holder). This is something extraordinary.

Unreal.
4 Million+ just in Japan where it became the fastest selling game ever, smashing Splatoon 3’s record that was already unbelievable.

And people here were saying Ragnarok would stay 1st for 2/3 weeks and calling me a debbie-downer for stating it wouldn’t even pass Tactis Ogre. PS4+PS5 combined first weeks sales are LESS than GOW 2018 PS4 (46k) despite being on two platforms.

So cool. These are really well done, and I gotta say pretty hype even for me that I barely care about S/V

@Not_Soos I have an incredible tip, it’s kinda a secret buuuut… do you guys want to know what I’d do every time I don’t care about something? I move on.
Article not for me? I skip it (Gasp!)

I know it’s really hard to avoid letting the rest of the world know how you DON’T CARE about something, but you can do it too!

@Teksetter Unfortunately those you’ve mentioned are either 3rd party or made by Atari Games and not “Atari”, so different licensing. I mean, no Paperboy, and especially Marble Madness… tho without a trackball I wouldn’t see myself enjoying it anyway.

I wish there were controller-add ons on Switch like there were on NDS, I LOVED playing Arkanoid, Puzzle Bubble, Space Invaders Extreme with the spinner (paddle) controller add-on. Playing Missile Command, Tempest, Breakout and such with a joystick… bleargh.

I have to say that the COMPLETE lack of shadows is pretty jarring, especially for an 3rd person action game, gives a bad disconnect between the game world and its characters.

Too bad they had to get rid of all of them and still the game has significant framerate issues in portable mode. I wonder if it hits 720p in portable mode because I’d personally prefer a softier 600p but locked 30fps, bare minimum for an action game like SIFU.

Hopefully there are is a patch coming to improve on the game’s performance.

Do the people above realize NSO doesn’t have 110 Million SUBSCRIBERS?
It’s at around 35/38M subs (last number was 32M about a year ago), a far cry from 110M.

So, NO, it wasn’t downloaded from “just” 10% of people who could’ve done so. More around 25%.

Hopefully gyro aiming is coming down the road, but I get that it’s really frustrating for folks buying physical.

Looks great, will keep an eye on it for sure

@Tom-Massey when reviewing a shmup or any score-based game really, for the love of god PLEASE MENTION IF THERE ARE ONLINE LEADERBOARDS.

It says nothing on the eShop’s blurb, as many pubs fail to mention, but a review? It’s frankly important information for the kind of audience that is interested in these games.

@HolyGeez03 it’s also developed by Pasta Games (Pix the cat, Rayman Jungle Run, Maestro Jump ‘n Music) so it’s got some pedigree behind.

I wish Siesta Fiesta was ported to Switch, that game is great and definitely in the top 3 of best 3DS eShop exclusive games

Bleah I wish we’d gotten Bloodstained like Japan did

@Otoemetry that’s awful and pretty sad she’d say (and think) something so stupid and harmful, I didn’t know, but it still doesn’t change anything related to what I’ve said

@PinderSchloss Really now? She actively and repeatedly called for boycott on the game, based on her lies and misleading on purpose. hurting hundreds of people who worked on B3.

I’d say she’s done plenty.

@nocdaes please just stop it with that nonsense

@tober to be fair, good luck trying to buy Platinum for just $45M, but Insomniac was bought by Sony for $229M, so…

@Wexter She just simply took VG Chartz (lol) fake numbers, multiplied for $60 (lol) which comes at about $490M and rounded it off for error (lol, again).

People who think Bayo is half a billion IP are in denial, imagine SEGA not wanting to have anything to do with such a golden goose.

Are you telling me we shouldn’t believe anything a Trump-supporting “TERF” claims? No way! 🤯😱

Meanwhile, Jennifer Hale handled the matter with nothing but class, even with all the harassment.

It sounds absurd but I couldn’t see myself playing with static trees, how they animate is a HUGE part of the experience as people who’ve played it already would know.

I’m curios how much these will cost. I mean, $29.99 would already be pushing it imo

@NinjaNicky wut? read again buddy. @tomcat said “ Release gta 5 Nintendo” and you replied to them saying “They can't even get the trilogy to run properly”.

@NinjaNicky @Thomcat ah yes GTA, famous Nintendo franchise. It’s not up to Nintendo.

Also, GTA 5 ran on PS3 and X360, platforms with less than 1/10th the memory. Issue is with how big GTA Online is, and they have had no interest in only releasing the single player portion so far. Still, it’s up to Rockstar, not Nintendo

@Would_you_kindly Regardless of this is situation, are you not familiar with how investigative journalism works?

It’s 100% the norm to have sources stay anonymous (to the public, not to the journalist) when there are whistleblowers and in many other instances too

Looks great. Both expansions look phenomenal really. Waiting for 50%off to nab the game and expansions, it’s been 30% off before but I just too big a backlog to justify anything that isn’t half off
