The budget really shows though, it looks unappealing for me. And I'm surprised at the one turtle per level idea, since one of the main themes of the series is about brotherhood and unity.
@PikaPhantom Hence why I said efficiently. Games that use that engine on Switch 1 are either downgraded or are games that are simple enough that they don't use the engine to its fullest.
Now that we know Switch 2 is not as powerful as everyone expected, it may have trouble in performing on certain larger games that were not initially made for it. Tekken 8 with it's high fidelity graphics and other advanced tech, it could be problematic for the system. And being a fighting game, every framerate counts.
Got Fabledom and Beyond Galaxyland while they were on a great sale. Fabledom's been wonderful, but I've yet to touch Beyond Galaxyland, though I'm looking forward to it.
Hell, yeah!. Waited over a month for this. Had to restart my initial save because I encountered a bad bug, only for my second play to avoid that bug and encounter an entirely different game-breaking bug.
Cool, but I prefer more natural sounds. They should've just hid a microphone and tied bananas on an intern's body then toss them to the gorilla pit. Then record the very natural roars and sounds they make as they go ape on them.
@VoidofLight Yeah, I know about the whole Natsume localisation guffaw. Hence why every game after that year was donkey butt.
This collection really shows how lazy they are with pretty much just a port of two of their worst games with little effort and pretty much no new content added.
Yeah, so quickly I clicked on the video thinking it may be something new, but nothing. IX is my 2nd favorite game in the series and has alot of charm that the newer games try to pretend to have, but clearly don't. I can only hope Square-Enix remakes it correctly.
Yeah, a shame. Square-Enix just spewed out the remake announcement of the first three games without knowing if demand and fanfare was enough to warrant it.
Looked for the quickest, cheapest and easiest way to get it done so they can wash their hands and move on.
@nhSnork
Terrible as in just plain bad. The original 3DS games already looked and felt like a generation behind. These are not remakes but just "enhanced" versions. If you take a look at the official screenshots, 99% of comments are negative, pretty much saying it looks like minecraft on N64 hardware, and practically no new content.
Story of Seasons aren't that great themselves with little innovation and recent trend of just remaking old titles, but at least they truly are remade from the ground up with added new features and content the originals never had. Even with the lack of innovation, it's pretty much a guarantee that you'll get a quality product.
@Magician Me too. Though most on my wishlist are games from Hamster, with one game having been on the list for four years and not once getting a sale. 😋
Oh, wow. I haven't been up-to-date with the Melee side of Smash Bros for a while, but this is a big deal.
To the uninitiated, Mang0 IS a huge name in Smash Melee, literally one of the "5 Melee Gods" during the highest point of that game's competitive scene.
He's still an amazing player to this day, but he does get into trouble here and there. Given Mario Kart's family-friendly image, he should've put more restraint on himself.
@Raifteiri I'm talking about Sony themselves or at least the Japanese side of their game development. Astrobot shows how creative and just plain fun they can be when given the chance.
Great for certain types of gamers and content creators, but unnecessary if you just play offline and/or by yourself, especially with single-player titles.

Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
Game uses Unreal 5 though. I'm unsure if Switch 2 is able to run it efficiently enough.

-100/10 This isn't a Gex game at all. False advertising.

Once playing with sticks and rocks become less amusing, I may start to consider making an effort to think about purchasing it.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Is Laser-Targeting Your Toddlers With This New 'My Mario' Line
If other brands like Sanrio, Bandai, Toho and Takara Tomy are doing it, why not Nintendo dip their toe in that market.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Kirby And The Forgotten Land Upgrade For Switch 2?
Kinda played it to 100% completion on Switch 1. Had my fill of the game and the new stuff doesn't feel substantial enough for a second go.
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In August 2025
I got my eye on Grand Bazaar, but I want to wait for the overall reviews first. I also cannot wait to not play Drag x Drive.
Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Rolls A Fine Switch 2 Debut, But Can't Move To The Top Spot
Still amazing how half of the list is still Switch 1 titles, but that's the great advantage of backwards compatibility.
And, of course one of them is an otome game.

Re: Square Enix Wants Feedback About Its New HD-2D Game Coming To Switch 2
What is up with that title?
Yeah, doesn't reflect the actual game itself, but who gets excited hearing that title.
If you told me it was a story about a runaway boy to go on a search for his lost dog, I would absolutely believe you.
Re: Forget Flowers, Date Everything Devs Have Delivered A "Mega Patch" On Switch
Hell, yeah!. Waited over a month for this. Had to restart my initial save because I encountered a bad bug, only for my second play to avoid that bug and encounter an entirely different game-breaking bug.
Third time's the charm, I guess.

Re: The First Review For Donkey Kong Bananza Is In
7/10 too much monkey.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's Destruction Idea Came From A Goomba With Hands
Really? I assumed they got the idea from the ending of Mario Odyssey, when Mario captures Bowser and uses him to pummel his way out to freedom.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Storms Past 1.5 Million Units Sold
Huge numbers despite the fact pretty much Mario Kart World being the only major title with the rest as Switch 1 games with technical enhancements.
Makes me curious how much better it will do when more and more first party game finally come out.

Re: Random: Yes, Pope Leo Really Did Sign A Popplio Pokémon Card
Lucky guy. Nicki Minaj never returned the many Jinx cards that I sent to her for an autograph. Nor did Vin Diesel with those Diglett cards.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart World Returns To Pole Position
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe not only just refusing to die, but still firmly holding it's ground.

Re: Harvest Moon's New "Cozy" Bundle Slightly Delayed For Switch
But... they're both terrible, as with all Harvest Moon games after 2013.
The Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar remake looks far more interesting.
