Can’t wait for this. It would have to be a pretty spectacular fail when I real the reviews in May for me to not get this. Really like the unique part of this racer!
Sally of their games (of which I only have 1) have a camera that is too far out. It’d be much more interesting to me if the camera zoomed in quite a bit more.
Having said that, will probably pick this up during a sale because I really love the premise and throw it in the backlog.
I can’t believe that this is even being discussed after 1 year. Enjoying what I have now and won’t (and don’t want to) worry about this for several years.
Wow. If this can get released, Nintendo truly no longer has quality control of any kind. I don’t ever want Nintendo to allow a real game that people want ever again if this is released.
@bluedogrulez hope everything from the Wii U makes the Switch. The good games anyway.
As is said over and over, these are junior devs doing the ports. These aren’t devs working on the big games. This is like making money training before they move to new games.
The more ports, the more experienced devs they have, and the more games (both old and new) you get.
If you don’t like ports filling out the library nicely like this, shun it. Don’t spend your money. Let those who do want them spend their money. It is quite simple, actually.
Interesting, I really like what I’ve seen and other that it being a point and click-ish game I don’t see the reason for the low score. It seems to be more of a review of the type of gameplay from the reviewer rather than a score of the game. I’m getting this, no question. Maybe I’ll change my mind, but nothing in this review does that for me.
@Kalmaro I agree mostly. Would like Octopath Traveler. It describes the game. But don’t care to keep the work aproject there. That makes it sound a little amateurish, like a high school project or something, to me.
I don’t see this happening. EA’s worth goes down if they are single platform, or the value of the Xbox brand goes down if EA is multiplatform. Either scenario makes the deal too expensive for an EA under the umbrella of Microsoft, because either way, Microsoft loses.
Not enough salt (or drugs) on the planet for this to be believable to me.
Night in the Woods and Away for me. Opposite ends of the spectrum that look like they both offer something a little different than anything else out there.
@G0dlike are you sure that you are using the word tragic properly? I don’t see a tragedy. Maybe someone needs to read up on tragic things that are happening in the real world, right now?
Didn’t get it before and went to a retro arcade recently and spent hours on Robotron. Looking for a good twin stick shooter and this looks right up my alley. Day one here.
Great game, think it was the first game I bought for my NES. This is the arcade version which I’m excited to play with the better visuals than the NES Port.
@Freelance ...because most who comment generally do and usually states if they don’t, especially for a week like this where Switch releases dwarf the other 2 by a long shot? Or since the other platforms have a total of 3 games it’s just be assumed that one would “this one game on Wii U or these 2 3DS games don’t appeal to me?”
@Fred13 yeah, you will be paying for the features that they will be introducing. What is the problem with that? Should they give you things for free? As a public company, and a for profit company, your money in exchange for their products is a common expectation.
You aren’t getting the online service for free now that will be paid for later. That service does not exist yet publicly.
@crackafreeze you should try Nintendo Power’s spiritual successor magazine then, Nintendo Force. Written by some of the same people.
I get both that one and Switch Player and enjoy them, but Nintendo Force is without a doubt light years beyond any other Nintendo specific magazine (there is also Pure Nintendo, for example).
@bluesdance yeah, I bought Neon Chrome, but I wouldn’t have had I known they were going to introduce this mess to the eshop. Don’t really like any of them anyway though, they are way too zoomed out.
Hope Nintendo puts a stop to their 1 unique feature, call it a new game every week business plan.
Happy for more games. This one is nice and cute for the recruitment and so on, but the batt Le scenes look like a flash game. Probably not for me, those battle scenes would drag me right out of the game.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Targets an "Extra Nintendo Twist" for the Switch Online Service
@Xaessya you should sell your Switch. Assuming you have one. And leave Nintendo websites for one covering your favorite game playing method of choice.
Thanks in advance!
