@Aswannsong where did I troll? I gave it the score of an ok game and listed a few of it's many flaws. Trolling would be "0/10 this game sux!" You and @dreadfuldragon are attempting to put me down without any defense of what I said. That makes you more troll like. I bought the game because I saw it get high review scores with no mention of all the problems. Even if someone doesn't think those problems detracts from it I wish I knew about them before I spent money. I would expect a 9/10 or 10/10 game to not have so many annoying things in it's gameplay, at least if it's not a story driven game which obviously this isn't.

Maybe they find an easy way to just swap out the hair textures in the future instead of the really bad downgrading they currently have. But that's such a minor thing when you're actually playing the game outside of the cut scenes. Definitely look good enough to play and it's encouraging they are already getting these results at the beginning of the console's life. Obviously it's going to look better on the PS5 but no one is ever playing the same game on two consoles side by side so you never need to worry about the slight downgrade

@AlanShore I beat the game. And I've played and beaten many Metroidvania games, so yeah I'm qualified to have an opinion on this game. It has many obvious flaws overlooked solely because it's from a 3 person indie developer

Not a good game in sight. RE can't come soon enough

This game is a 6/10. The penalty for death in the early game is enormous when you are most likely to die. They make you not only buy the map, but you also have to buy a pen to add more to it, which is annoying but fair enough. But if you are going to claim that's more releastic then having to equip a badge to know where you are on the map is so dumb. If you don't know where you are then you couldn't add more to the map! You do a lot of work to try and get weapon upgrades that are pretty much worthless because the game scales the enemies damage every time you upgrade. What's the dang point? Stupid game design.

There are 3 games I'm interested in and 2 of them, RE and Indy, I was excited about before this. Seeing previews for Pragmata this week put it in on my radar. The rest are pretty trash to me. If you are a tactics or especially rpg fan than you've been living the high life with switch for 3+ years. I'm begging for more action games

I understand key cards, even though they only exist for people who hate the planet, but code in a box is the worst thing in the world. Then you just add plastic waste to the world without even having the benefit of being able to pass it along to another person to use one day! Should honestly be illegal

I am so sick of JRPGs being the big focus at every direct for the last 3 years I'd like some good games. At least we get Resident Evil and Indiana Jones this year. Interested to see what 007 looks like

They should make Mario Bowling. It has to BY FAR be the most popular Wii and Switch Sports games. Make some different powered balls and some crazy pins that do different things, maybe some kind of lane hazards. That would be a blast.

@cvrator I think Nintendo would argue BOTW is still just BOTW and this is Wonder + Bellabel Park. Either way I don't think this is worth $20

The game doesn't really interest me either way but what a nothingburger comment from Nintendo. No one would possibly think Nintendo is changing someone's game themselves. But saying, " your game won't meet our guidelines without x and y changed" is pretty much the same thing. I do wonder if the blowback will make Adhoc make a non Japan version with the censorship as an option instead of forced or if it will put them off Nintendo entirely.

This is a shame since I've never heard a good thing about the switch version

"Nintendo has a busy slate" sounds crazy to say with no big titles and only 4 games listed for a brand new system. They desperately need a direct and some good looking games

I cannot believe the last one sold 4 million. The Zelda name does a ton of work I guess

Going to kill the specialness of Directs if they use it for stuff like this at 9am eastern time. Just say 'We're debuting a new trailer' since that's literally all they did and said they're working on the music. Don't call it a Direct

Getting what they deserve at this point for ordering landfill fodder when we're already overrun with plastic waste

$20 for this is not even slightly tempting to me personally

Nintendo really needs another direct soon. Basically nothing in the pipeline but Tennis and Pokopia

I personally hate that this is coming out. Adds zero value to the top tier of NSO because I'll never buy the needed accessory. It also means people who could be working on adding to the library people will actually play will be doing this instead. Not to mention the environmental impact of selling a hunk of plastic no one will get more than a few hours of use it if before it sits on a shelf and ultimately one day goes in a landfill

This is as barely "technically green" as you can get and the eye test I would say reads more blue

@Bahamut_GR can't lower prices when components increase in cost

It's not a good game. It's the worst in the series by a mile even if you ignore the batmobile sections, which you can't because they are required and awful. There's basically no reason for anyone to play this game in 2025. Play asylum or city or origins even and have a much better time

I think having the character be scared and having me be scared are 2 different things. In 7 when I was trying to hide from Jack Baker and he walked thru a freaking wall it scared me. Had nothing to do with who my character was. Doesn't matter if I have a gun, what matters is do I feel kind of hopeless

I liked the first Control. The rest of the announcements are not interesting to me

@DreadfulDragon you're entitled to your opinion. I think the Hollow Knight series is ok at best and bad at it's worst and would prefer Metroid be nothing like it

@DreadfulDragon a much more apt comparison would be if you heard Russia figured out a way to weaponize something in Cuba and you went there to stop them. The odds of you coming across others similar to you would be pretty high probably. You think of space as some big place but in the Metroid universe it is able to be traversed in the same way we can travel between countries. Samus is not out in a galaxy by herself

I'm not far enough in to give a rating but I want Myles in future games. The idea that an adult human should have zero contact with other people like some fans want is goofy to me

I just picked this up with a voucher after getting Prime with one as well, so I'd be happy for it to get an upgrade before I play it

The question is do I get vouchers and then upgrade Prime? Problem is that might not actually be a good deal when you consider the other games I would want have probably been on sale at some point and would've been cheaper to buy individually

@Yoshi3 the Prime games in and of themselves are pretty separated from the feeling of the true series

I've never been excited for this because they are not making a sequel, they are making a completely different type of game with some familiar characters. It's like saying Dr. Mario is a sequel to SMB3

Be perfectly ok if they just made 2D Metroid games instead.

What a bizarre system

@delanoche I want a dedicated button to call his name, like in Heavy Rain yelling for Shaun

@Serpenterror you know how much shovelware is put on steam every day? Probably more than the eShop gets in a year

Roughly 22 million gamecubes sold. Will this get to 2 million?

I like the controller but I have major issues with snap back, where if say a boss in ninja gaiden was on the left side of the screen I'd turn to attack and when I let go of the stick my character would turn to the right

Um, it's Yoshi. I don't even know what you're talking about with the eyes.

If I didn't play the demo I would have considered this on sale, but now I know it 100% isn't for me. I've never been unsold on something so quickly. That's not too say anything of it's quality, just that I don't have any desire to play this again

The next good Crash game will be the first good Crash game

"Why didn't they focus on characters that have not had 1/1000th of the online popularity of Lady D?" - people online. SMH

Regardless of how much effort went into getting these all together the games are not worth anywhere near $60 at this point. I grew up playing 1 thru Ultimate but I wouldn't pay that to play those again and the other titles are real bad. Not to mention who has any desire to play game boy versions

So is the Switch version not getting the update?

The town building stuff made this so tedious

Kind of funny that a company so many people love like FromSoft would benefit from reaching out to a company many people hate in Ubisoft for advice on how to port games to the Switch 2

I'm confused how this game could have been in beta or early access or whatever and they still ended up on these hard to see font colors and extremely tiny lettering on some menus. Fun game with almost nothing in the UI done even slightly well. Even the level select is not clear

The Prime games are not anywhere near as good as the true mainline Metroid games, but I'm looking forward to playing 4. Might end up being the first time I ever use the controller in mouse mode

While I've never been a game pass guy, the huge increase in cost it just had really hurts the value of this as well I think

Right now it doesn't look like something that's less than a year from release, even with only 12 characters. I can't imagine a lot of people are looking to spend any real money on a game with such a small cast before being expecting to shell out more

It would have to be A LOT better than the original to be anywhere near an 8 to me but I'll never know because the original left such a bad taste in my mouth
