I voted for 1080 however I would’ve voted for DK if it wasn’t specified as Donkey Kong Country only which is the 2D instalment. I want a new 3D DK in a similar vein to DK64 the most
@Sisilly_G The comment you made that you’re not excited about MK8D because although there’s heaps of tracks they basically play the same resonates with me. I couldn’t put my finger on why I don’t care about the new content until I read your comment
I agree. It’s fine and enjoyable. I think it’s worth it because I have nostalgia for the originals. Much better than when it first launched. Complaints are minor now, at launch they were major.
Do you need more than 1 Nintendo Switch to do local co-op or is it couch co-op where u only need 1 switch and 1 copy of the game? For a game who’s strength is multiplayer it would be nice for this to be made clear in a review
I’m actually ok with this especially after Metal Gear Solid situation. Also glad it’s not cloud. Seriously I would’ve paid full price for one game but we’re getting the whole trilogy
Looking forward to this. I doubt it will be a cloud version as they’re normally upfront about that. Probably the highlight of the show for me and a good move as PS5 will be releasing the new Superman at about this time
@Dm9982 Well said. Completely sick of the morons who hate on Switch & say to play games on another console. If they hate on Switch so much WTF are they even visiting this Nintendo dedicated website?
It’s probably hard to quantify but I’d be interested to know if this 21% increase is skewed towards growth mainly in shovelware or if we’ve seen an increase in game releases with the major publishers too.
Pass for me, it's over 30GB which is twice the size of Tears Of The Kingdom. Even though I have a 1TB microSD card, space is too precious for me that I can't justify that amount of space for just a fighting game. If I was a fighting game fanboy the answer would probably be different though.
@Thief - You could well be right here. I reckons Tactics is about 90% chance that it's coming to Switch as it looks similar graphically to P5R & Strikers which run fine on Switch also it's a late 2023 release. P3RE I would guess to be a 50% chance, mainly because the 2024 release date, we could be transitioning to a new system. It does use Unreal engine though which is used for heaps of games on the Switch & graphically it looks like the Switch could run it which is why I think there's still a good chance we get this. Less likely than Tactics though. Edit: The update to this story with the P3RE Switch box art whilst not confirmed makes it much higher than 50% now. Yay!
Atlus also released Persona 4 Golden a much more modern & bigger game for $20 so it’s bizarre that they would charge $40 for each of these. I will wait for a sale as I feel it’s a ripoff at this price
@Ooyah I’m not sure. I feel like Mario Sports games are losing popularity because the quality isn’t as high anymore. If a TV series or movie franchise starts to disappoint people move on to something else. Pokemon need to deliver quality games that run well as fans will at some point stop handing over their hard earned $$ if they don’t. Pokemon are playing a stupid and risky game by serving up this rubbish. EVERYTHING has a tipping point.
2 weeks before TOTK came out. I picked ip BOTW because it was in my backlog. Well I bought TOTK and have played less than 1 hour because I can’t put BOTW down.
I used to buy every Mario Sports game because they used to be great. I haven’t bought Strikers after the reviews and being underwhelmed with Mario Golf. The same will happen with Pokemon if they consistently start releasing rush jobs like Scarlet/Violet. Consumers will not continuously spend premium money e.g $60+ if the product is not premium.
I’m flabbergasted that a 2D platformer is in development hell because if Team Cherry ever decided to develop a 3D open world game it would take them 600 years.
They actually need to do this with nearly their whole catalogue as most of their games are more expensive than Nintendo first party AAA titles like Mario, Pokemon, Kirby, etc.
I agree with the pro controller being number one bit the drifty joy cons that are too small and often disconnect should be dead last as they break, they’re way too expensive and they just plain suck.
I hate it when this happens. I only buy digital on deep discount so if it reviews well and goes down to US$10 then I’d give it a go but looks like I’ll pass
@SpaceboyScreams You might be right. 6 years for a sky area and a fuse and rewind mechanic with no new maps sounds lazy when you put it like that. I hope there’s more….
I love Inazuma 11 and excited to see the other franchises return. I clocked over 900 hours into Yokai Watch 3 on the 3DS so was hoping for Yokai Watch 4 but oh well, still excited.
Probably should’ve always been free for the loyal Pokemon fanbase. Incredibly stingy practice and poor form for the ultra rich Pokemon Company. I bet it’ll shut down completely in the next 12 - 24 months as the Pokemon Company are not generous. I hope I’m wrong. I know it’s a business and not a charity but certain practices need to be called out
I put off getting Stardew Valley for so long because the graphics stink yet I loved it and put over 100 hours in. (I still hate the graphics) This game looks lovely but will the gameplay hold up?
Put us out of our misery and localise Yokai Watch 4. Level-5 announced they were localising it in 2019 and although they stated that they’re closing their western branch Level 5 Abby they’ve never stated that the localisation of YW4 is cancelled so we continue to wait……..

You’ll complete the game in half the time with the aid of those 2 dazzlefruit. Try and resist such a generous offer.
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Switch Gameplay Trailer Revealed, Frostbite Engine Confirmed
I’ll probably just stick with my $6 preowned physical copy of FIFA19. It doesn’t seem to look any better than that from the trailer

Re: Best Nintendo 64 Platformers - Every N64 3D Platformer, Ranked By You
I had alot of these & personally I loved DK64 more than the Banjo Kazooie games. SM64 was the best but DK64 a very close second.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.3.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
With over 20 million sales at $60 per copy that’s over a billion dollars. No excuse for it to run so bad. Absolute disgrace Game Freak.

Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge

Re: Talking Point: Is Super Mario Bros. Wonder Really A Departure From The 'New' Series?
I’m going to get it but there was no real “wow” factor for me. Very modest upgrade IMO.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy Swoops To Switch This Fall

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Is Coming To Switch This October
I just want MGS4. I will get this if there’s a physical otherwise I’ll pass

Re: Atlus Officially Confirms Persona 5 Tactica For Nintendo Switch
I actually want Tactica more as I loved SMTDS2 so this will scratch that itch. We’ve already got mainline Persona games on Switch so that’s ok.
Re: Hands On: Mortal Kombat 1's Stunning Presentation Has Us Anxious About The Switch Port
Pass for me, it's over 30GB which is twice the size of Tears Of The Kingdom. Even though I have a 1TB microSD card, space is too precious for me that I can't justify that amount of space for just a fighting game. If I was a fighting game fanboy the answer would probably be different though.
Re: Two Switch Games Will "No Longer Be Available" On The eShop
Lost Child is US$5 right now. Decent alternative to Etrian Odyssey, at this price it’s a no-brainer.

Re: Square Enix Celebrates As Octopath Traveler II Ships 1 Million Units
The Pokemon Games are great but the best turn based RPG’s on the Switch that I’ve played is Octopath Traveler II & Dragon Quest XI.
Re: Nintendo Announces Everybody 1-2-Switch!, Pre-Orders Now Live
I like the pricing but will definitely wait for reviews. This had been rumored for a while.
Re: Review: Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection - Divine Dungeon Crawling But Not Definitive

Re: Rumour: 'Mortal Kombat 1' Is Supposedly Coming To Switch
Hopefully it’s not over 30GB like MK11. Even with my 1TB microSD card I struggle for space.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong No Longer Releasing In The First Half Of 2023
