@PinderSchloss that is the exact same reason that I never finished it. I still keep it right next to my Switch thinking one day I will actually finish it.
I started playing this last night, and it is actually pretty well done (audio could use some work, though). It’s definitely not a $40 game, but it’s at least a $20 - $30 purchase.
I really wanted to like this game, but despite the game talking about random environments it felt like I had the exact same level layout 99% of the time, causing it to get old fast.
I’ve always wanted to play Powerful Pro Baseball, but never did due to the games being in Japanese. However, after aeeing Dracula and Goemon in this year’s trailer, I think I might break out the translator app on my phone and give this series a try.
@UltimateOtaku91 I think just being published by Red Art Games will lead to a delay. They seem to be one of the worst companies when it comes to delays.
I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I am looking forward to this game. Despite Sonic’s bumpy track record, I absolutely loved Generations and can’t wait to play this expanded rerelease.
@Keyblade-Dan Crash Bandicoot Racing did something similarly shady. After it was reviewed and given terrific scores, they added microtransactions. Years later, everything is still a huge grind to unlock because they want people to buy the virtual currency.
@SpeedRunRocks you can get the Japanese version (multi language) from PlayAsia for $28. That’s what I did since it was cheaper and came out months earlier than my regional equivalent.
I’m still waiting on my physical copy to arrive. It was supposed to ship last September, but another game in the order from PlayAsia kept getting delayed.
For Blazing Strike, I will believe it when I see it. That game has been delayed so many times that I have lost faith in it ever being released. I say that as someone with a copy preordered.
Every time I think I’m finally ready to play this game, they announce a new significant patch a month out and this game gets placed back onto the backlog.
I still need to play the last Sword Art games for the Switch. I heard it was rough at launch, so I decided to wait until a patch and never got around to it.
@Emmerichcoal I’m in the same boat. When I was told later by PlayAsia that the game went from English on cart to English via patch, I didn’t expect it to be 7 months and still nothing.
I’m glad that they didn’t make Zelda a Link clone, in terms of gameplay. However, I am not sure about the echo mechanic. It seems like it might slow down gameplay too much for my liking.
I don’t know if it was the disappointing third entry or how this story has been stretched out for over 20 years, but I think that I have finally lost interest in this series.

Re: Review: The Karate Kid: Street Rumble (Switch) - A Great-Looking, Offline-Only, Co-op Brawler

I just want to know if English will be patched into the physical Japanese version.
Re: Edgeworth Reminds Us About The Pre-Order Bonus With 'Ace Attorney Investigations Collection'

Re: Gearbox Teases 'Borderlands 4' (Again), Following Movie's Box Office Flop
Before playing Borderlands 3, I would have been really excited about a 4th entry. After playing Borderlands 3, shrug.

Re: Japanese Charts: Baseball Takes The Crown In Another Switch-Filled Bonanza

Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Sales Have Been "Utterly Terrible", Says Creator
If there had been a physical release, I would have purchased it. Digital? No thanks.
Re: SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos Limited Run Games Switch Physical Release Revealed
I’m going with Pix n Love over Limited Run, solely because Limited Run chose to use the censored artwork.
Re: Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered Branding Spotted At SDCC
Despite loving the first Soul Reaver, I am not sure how well these games will hold up. That said, I am buying these day one.

I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I am looking forward to this game. Despite Sonic’s bumpy track record, I absolutely loved Generations and can’t wait to play this expanded rerelease.
Re: Mortal Kombat Studio NetherRealm Is Reportedly Facing Layoffs
@Keyblade-Dan Crash Bandicoot Racing did something similarly shady. After it was reviewed and given terrific scores, they added microtransactions. Years later, everything is still a huge grind to unlock because they want people to buy the virtual currency.
Re: Mortal Kombat Studio NetherRealm Is Reportedly Facing Layoffs
How can they be facing layoffs after charging $10 for fatalities / costumes?
Re: ICYMI: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Includes A Really Cool Profile Feature
Mega Man 5 is set to my profile. That game will always hold a significant place in my heart.

This looks a heck of a lot better than Dojos Rising, that’s for sure.
Re: Round Up: Aksys Games Panel Anime Expo 2024 - Every Switch Announcement
For Blazing Strike, I will believe it when I see it. That game has been delayed so many times that I have lost faith in it ever being released. I say that as someone with a copy preordered.

Re: Dave The Diver's Latest Update Harpoons Pesky Bugs, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
“Fixed an issue that caused every tab (window) in the sushi restaurant to overlap each other at once”
That issue is not fixed. Even after the update, it still happens.
Re: Review: Tchia (Switch) - A Brilliantly Fun (And Surprisingly Adult) Animal-Hopping Adventure
This review made me pick up a copy for my wife. Not my type of game, but this definitely sounds like something she would enjoy.

I still need to play the last Sword Art games for the Switch. I heard it was rough at launch, so I decided to wait until a patch and never got around to it.
Re: Tactical RPG Based On 'Goblin Slayer' Launches On Switch Later This Year
@Emmerichcoal I’m in the same boat. When I was told later by PlayAsia that the game went from English on cart to English via patch, I didn’t expect it to be 7 months and still nothing.
Re: Capcom Announces Summer Showcase 2024, Airing Next Week
I was really hoping for an Onimusha Collection announcement. Onimusha 2, 3, and Dawn of Dreams deserve rereleases.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's Next DLC Fighters Possibly Revealed In New Datamine
I think that I am passing. This version of Mortal Kombat isn’t grabbing me like it used to.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Return In A New Roguelike Action Game Next Month
At that price, I would pick it up if it was available physically. Digitally, I’m not spending more than $9.99 on this title.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Box Art Has Been Revealed
I’m glad that they didn’t make Zelda a Link clone, in terms of gameplay. However, I am not sure about the echo mechanic. It seems like it might slow down gameplay too much for my liking.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Five More Classics

Re: The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak Demo Now Available On Switch eShop
The real-time combat option is giving me serious YS vibes. I might have to play this day one.
Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes 'Performance Mode' Switch Update Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
According to the people commenting on Twitter, this patch didn’t fix nearly enough. Load times are still an issue.
Re: Ubisoft Toronto Joins Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time 'Remake' Project
It feels like this game has been stuck in development hell for ages. Seems odd for a remake to be having so many problems.
Re: Don't Expect Kingdom Hearts IV News At Summer Game Fest 2024, Says Keighley
