That is a really good price for the game, was almost expecting it to launch at full price, the only question now is the performance, if it is solid it could be worth a pickup.
This to me screams a game that is best waiting for a 50 percent sale on, then it will be solid value for your money so that is probably what I would do since I am not particularly eager to play these games again apart from Sonic CD.
It seems like alot of the questions he didn't give a direct answer to, but that is par for the course in interviews like these.
I do hope Sonic Frontiers is good but based on Sonic Team's rocky past I am a bit worried and if it doesn't deliver then we have another long wait before we will have another chance of getting a good one.
I could have sworn it was said to be almost done, and that was 5 years ago, makes me wonder what happened, they must have decided to completely start from scratch in order for us to not have heard anything by now.
It's disappointing, would be really cool to be able to play a brand new Pikmin game on Switch, love that series, I do hope the continue the simultaneous co-op aspect of Pikmin 3 as an option though, that just makes sense when there are multiple player characters.
Since it is utilizing the RE engine like MH Rise is it could possibly come to the Switch somewhere down the line but until that announcement happens I am going to assume it is mainly going to be on PlayStation/Xbox.
I have been playing alot of Monster Hunter Rise lately, I don't really need a demo for the expansion because I already really enjoy the base game so I know more monsters to hunt is enough for me, the addition of Master Rank is a big improvement to me even if some of the current hunts are pretty tough as it is.
I personally wouldn't play a Crash game like that, I am not the biggest Crash fan but the ones I like are just the classic 3D platformers, any time you through multiplayer into the mix it waters down the gameplay imo, not that there aren't fun multiplayer games.
For me personally I just don't see Sonic as the type of game that suits an open world format, that is usually best reserved for RPGs like Zelda or the Elder Scrolls games, if anything they should have had a Mario Odyssey style Sonic game, basically Sonic Lost World, but way better. This just seems thrown together without any consideration as to whether or not it will actually work, could it be good? Maybe, but based on the footage I have seen I am not getting my hopes up, making it open world for the sake of it being open world is a bad idea.
I just hope it comes to Switch but considering how far this game is probably off it may be better to expect it for the Switch successor, I hope that happens because I had such a great time playing 11 in bed, the Switch port was just great. If nothing else I also have my PS5 hooked up in the bedroom so either way I am good.
If it is anything like Streets of Rage 4 this game is going to be great, that is legitimately one of the best Beat Em Ups ever made, it's just good fun.
I like the new art style personally but I also have no love for the old game's look as I never played it. But the new one looks sharp and modern as I would expect it to.
It's not bad but the amount of games and the customization options for them is lackluster, this should have been a compilation of all or at least most of the previous games in the Wii entries but instead we got this, which arguably has less content than a game that came out 16 years ago. For the price it should be better.
Honestly at this point I am a little tired of talking about this, the back and forth rumors on this for the last few years have lowered my excitement for this so at this point if it comes, awesome but I am not getting my hopes up until we see something from Nintendo themselves.
Out of all these Morrowind is by far my most wanted but I would love it if all these came at some point, I love older PC RPGs, games like Morrowind came out and basically started my interest in PC gaming and even if these never come, I plan on getting a new PC someday so I can relive some of these classics.
The port looks pretty well done, if the Switch version is up to par this could be a nice addition to the Switch library, I did have some fun times with this back in the day on my old and definitely not gaming ready PC, I wouldn't mind experiencing it again on the Switch.
I managed to platinum the game on PS5 but it obviously didn't have all of the technical shortcomings that the Switch version does, and it is definitely not a game for everyone but I enjoyed it enough to complete it, it almost has a Pikmin Vibe in terms of the cute creatures and the story really wasn't too bad either imo.
I have always loved Mario Golf ever since the entry on the Game Boy Advance, never played this one or the GameCube one other than via a demo a long time ago so I am looking forward to giving this one a go.
Probably a sick joke from Konami or someone pretending to be them, but if it is real I would love Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 on the Switch, that would be awesome.
I have enjoyed the zero building in this season so far, and since they have added anti armor rocket launchers now those pesky tanks are no longer overpowered, it is going to be alot more fun.
Oh boy I was afraid this would happen, but if the end product is amazing I don't mind, maybe we can get Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in the meantime.
That would be incredible! I am enjoying the season, only thing I don't like is the tanks but the focus on the actual gunplay has been thrilling and something I have asked for for a very long time.
I finished up the main story of Neverwinter Nights on Switch and am now tackling the Shadows of Undrentide Expansion pack, I have been enjoying revisiting these games from my youth.
These games look great but I am more concerned with what is coming after because these were already confirmed to be coming, and Nintendo has a history of us waiting long periods of time before they announce new stuff for the service.
For a relatively niche genre on just one system those are fantastic numbers, I was worried it wasn't going to do as well as they liked. I would like to play it at some point but I just don't know if I have the time right now, but the game looks great.
I am very worried about what concessions would have to be made to get this on Switch because it looks great visually on PS5, and that's probably where I will be getting it.
I would so love for us to get the remaster on Switch, it would give me a chance to relive my childhood like I currently am with Neverwinter Nights on Switch. I have been wanting to play it again, just not too interested in the original N64 version because of that frame rate.
There have been so many rumors about the series returning but we still haven't seen a thing, honestly I would be happy with Switch ports of the first 3 games in a mega collection, that would be pretty cool if Konami somehow wouldn't screw it up.
I played Neverwinter Nights on Switch almost all day and despite the negative reviews that were in all honesty completely fair as it is buggy and poorly optimized I still am having a great time despite that. It's just a great game for fans of the old Dungeons and Dragon style gameplay.
It is odd that the game isn't on Switch yet, given the popularity of Square Enix's other releases on the system it would basically be guaranteed money, not sure what the hold up is.
I probably won't be playing any Mario games today but I would be remiss if I didn't say that the games have had a huge impact on my gaming preferences, ever since I first played Super Mario Bros at my Grandparents' house on their old NES, had to blow on the cartridges to get them to work of course since I didn't know any better at the time.

That's a shame as this one looked so good but if that is what needs to be done in order to make the game the best it can be then that is ok with me.

Re: Here's How Sonic 3's New Music In Sonic Origins Stacks Up To The Classics

Re: Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii Shares Brief Update On Next Mainline Entry
I just hope it comes to Switch but considering how far this game is probably off it may be better to expect it for the Switch successor, I hope that happens because I had such a great time playing 11 in bed, the Switch port was just great.

Re: Video: Is Nintendo Switch Sports Really That Bad?
