Hopefully they don’t include battle pass mechanics again. In a full price game, it is so stupid having to unlock things by grinding for items in a set window of time or miss out on them forever.
After playing through SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble, I am a bit hesitant about playing another rogue-lite beatem-up. The grind just killed that game. At least Double Dragon appears to have a bit more variety.
I am a bit more excited about this game, after seeing the trailer. It reminds me of YS and seems to be a self-contained story, as opposed to the latest Legend of Heroes game.
@Zeroo That DLC is AWFUL, in a game where you are meant to play against people online. Reading the descriptions, each DLC pack essentially makes it easier to level up and create stronger, rarer monsters, making the online component pay-to-win.
I wonder if Master Detective Archives disappeared because people aren’t able to even buy a copy. In the U.S., that game is sold out and unavailable at practically every retailer. Only the collector’s edition that comes out 7/14 is available.
Final Fantasy 16 this weekend. So far pretty decent, but even 8 hours in it feels like more cutscene than gameplay. Also a lot more like Game of Thrones than a Final Fantasy game.
I might go back to this game, with all of the updates. The jankiness of the original version kind of killed the fun in the later levels, but maybe it performs better now.
@CharlieGirl you can still buy a copy from Play-Asia. Although, according to the expected shipping table they provided, if you order now, it won't ship until around June 19th.

Re: G.I. Joe Gets The Streets Of Rage Treatment In Brand New Arcade-Style Brawler
I just want this to be better than Double Dragon Gaiden.
Re: Yep, There's A Metroidvania Inspired By 'A Christmas Carol' And It's Out In November
This is so stupid that, if there is a physical release, this will be a day one buy.
Re: Konami's Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Has Been Delayed
Does the delay mean that Konami will actually have time to put the full games on the cartridge?
Re: Poll: Mario & Sonic Face Off On Switch This October - Whose Corner Are You In?
For a second, I thought this was going to be an announcement for a new Mario and Sonic Olympics game.
Re: Paper Mario-Like 'Born Of Bread' Needs A Little More Time In The Oven, Delayed To This Fall
Better to have it be delayed than have another Outbound Ghost situation.
Re: Pokémon Fans Beg TPC For Pokémon Pinball Revival As Sequel Turns 20
I don’t know why, but the GBA sequel didn’t quite feel right compared to the GBC version. Something just felt off.
Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender: Quest For Balance Release Date Potentially Revealed On eShop
How is this news? When the game was announced and went up for preorder back in June, it showed a street date of 9/22.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Surpasses Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom As 2023's Highest-Rated Game "So Far"
If this game wasn’t digital only, I would have already preordered it for the PS5.
Re: 2D Retro-Inspired Fighter Pocket Bravery "Coming Soon" To Switch
According to a store near me, 9/28 is the release date.
Re: Poll: Have You Ordered Physical Switch Games That Came With The Cart Missing?
I actually had it happen where the seller sent an empty envelope. It took weeks to prove that nothing was sent.
Re: New Mortal Kombat 1 Trailer Reveals Geras As A Playable Fighter
I would be a lot more interested in a gameplay trailer for the Switch version. No Switch footage a month and a half out is a bit worrisome.
Re: Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption Logo Update Reignites Remaster Rumours
If it included all of the DLC, I wouldn’t even care about remastered graphics. Red Dead Redemption was amazing!
Re: Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged Puts Family First With Fast & Furious Collab
Hopefully they don’t include battle pass mechanics again. In a full price game, it is so stupid having to unlock things by grinding for items in a set window of time or miss out on them forever.
Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Announced, Squidward & Jimmy Neutron Join The Roster
I am not hopeful, after the first game. The combat felt like attacks had no real impact to them. Everything just felt overly light.
Re: Review: Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise Of The Dragons - Likeable, But Lacks Its Peers' Punch
After playing through SD Shin Kamen Rider Rumble, I am a bit hesitant about playing another rogue-lite beatem-up. The grind just killed that game. At least Double Dragon appears to have a bit more variety.
Re: Edia Crowdfunding Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III For Nintendo Switch
I will just wait for the inevitable Limited Run release.
Re: Ubisoft Has Reportedly Cancelled Plans For An Immortals: Fenyx Rising Sequel
Shame. That was actually a fun game.
Re: Dark Magics Are Afoot As Trine 5 Gets A Switch Release Date
I need to go through the Trine collection and finish 3 & 4 fast!
Re: Bandai Namco Announces Character Pass 2 For One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4
Fingers crossed they make this season pass cheaper than the first one. $30 was way too much for the content contained in the pass.
Re: Poll: Final Fantasy IV - Do You Prefer The Original Or The DS Remake?
DS. They did a nice job with the cutscenes and the additional content.
Re: Reminder: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Xenoblade Chronicles amiibo Are Out Today
I like them, but I don’t want to spend $30 for so little extra content.
Re: Feature: Our 17 Favourite Dogs In Games - Canine Companions & Memorable Mutts
No love for Cerberus from Disgaea 6?
Re: Get A Closer Look At 'The Legend Of Nayuta' Ahead Of September Launch
I am a bit more excited about this game, after seeing the trailer. It reminds me of YS and seems to be a self-contained story, as opposed to the latest Legend of Heroes game.
Re: Sonic Superstars Has Been Rated For Switch By The ESRB
@Hero-of-WiiU I read that it is launching October 17th on a different website.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 15th)
I finished Master Detective Archives: Rain Code last night, so probably Ghost Trick next.
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Has "One Save Slot Per Switch Account"
@Zeroo That DLC is AWFUL, in a game where you are meant to play against people online. Reading the descriptions, each DLC pack essentially makes it easier to level up and create stronger, rarer monsters, making the online component pay-to-win.
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Has "One Save Slot Per Switch Account"
@Zeroo Day 1 greedy DLC?
Re: Castlevania Advance Collection Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Open July 28th
I think I have to go with the Circle of the Moon cover purely for nostalgia. That was the main GBA launch title that had lasting appeal for me.
Re: A New Hellboy Game Has Been Announced For Nintendo Switch
This actually looks clunkier than Hellboy: The Science of Evil.
Re: Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles Spotlights PS2 Sequel In New Trailer
@Daniel36 Probably because the first one was already re-released in NIS Prinny Collection 3.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's First DLC Character Has Seemingly Been Confirmed
I thought this was already confirmed. Pretty sure I read the full DLC list last month, and Homelander was on it.
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Gets A Welcome Boost As Zelda Retains Its Crown
I wonder if Master Detective Archives disappeared because people aren’t able to even buy a copy. In the U.S., that game is sold out and unavailable at practically every retailer. Only the collector’s edition that comes out 7/14 is available.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 24th)
Final Fantasy 16 this weekend. So far pretty decent, but even 8 hours in it feels like more cutscene than gameplay. Also a lot more like Game of Thrones than a Final Fantasy game.
Re: Sonic Superstars' Release Date Might Have Already Been Revealed
With Spider-Man 2, Mario, and Sonic coming out that same week, I might need to use some vacation days.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge
Why do companies keep giving their customers the middle finger like this?
Re: Sonic Frontiers Free 'Birthday Bash' DLC Is Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I might go back to this game, with all of the updates. The jankiness of the original version kind of killed the fun in the later levels, but maybe it performs better now.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Is Coming To Switch This October
This is destined to become a Limited Run release.
Re: Star Ocean: The Second Story R Is A Full-Blown Remake Of A Classic PS1 RPG
Any word of a physical edition?
Re: Pikmin 1 & 2 Drop On Switch eShop Today, With A Physical Bundle On The Way
Just tell me where I can Pre-order the physical.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope - The Last Spark Hunter Story Details Surface
But will the DLC increase the level cap?
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo Fighters Announced Alongside Main Roster
Come on Ash from Evil Dead! He would make a perfect Mortal Kombat fighter.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
MK11 is one of my most played Switch games. That said, I am still nervous to see how this looks and runs.
Re: The New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Is Now Available, Did You Get It?
I only buy amiibos on clearance. They are too pricey for the little bit of content they unlock.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - An Absolute Marvel, But Is It Better Than BOTW?
Looking forward to it, but still nervous after experiencing what happened when Banjo Kazooie tried to add vehicle creation.
Re: Atelier Ryza 3 Gets A New Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
If only they had an option to make it so enemies didn't level with your gear / level. It makes creating great equipment feel somewhat pointless.
Re: Alien: Isolation - The Collection Physical Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
About time. Only reason I never grabbed it was because I was waiting for a physical release.
Re: My Time At Sandrock Finds A Home On Switch This Summer
@SwitchForce is this even going to have a physical edition? I couldn't find anything about one.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster - A Beautiful And Faithful Reimagining Of The Classics
@EvilSilentFrame check out howlongtobeat.com. That is what I typically use to see roughly how long a game will take to complete.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster - A Beautiful And Faithful Reimagining Of The Classics
@CharlieGirl you can still buy a copy from Play-Asia. Although, according to the expected shipping table they provided, if you order now, it won't ship until around June 19th.
Re: Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles Will Sing On Switch In August
Already have my copy preordered.
