Considering that Genius Seniority did the Gamecube Pokemon games and those translations, I would want nothing kess of a stupid translation for this game
Glad to see it's gotten quite a few downloads, but I'm wondering how so many people found it because I didn't see it on the recent releases section on the US EShop so I idk if it got the biggest possible launch it could of had if it isn't there. Or I could be blind you never know I just didn't see it
Capcom is also a dev I wouldn't want to go all digital because their games are so good they need physical editions. Idk how some devs don't put out wide spread fully physical games when they're on 100 gig discs, but Capcom still put out SF6 fully on PS4 physically (which was a god send for me since I'm still on PS4)
@Zeebor15 I 100% agree. I already thought this way kinda after the Power Rangers game from the TGA's got revealed, but after the LRG3 event this year, I feel even more of the such, because it's just trying to get people off of their "nostalgia" for simpler times instead of trying to make unique and cool looking game. Shredder's Revenge was the only one that "needed" happen imo, the Power Rangers game gets a pass from me because at least it seems like Digital Eclipse is doing some cool, unique stuff with it that looks fun, but everything else just seems like a cash grab
Dang Eighting sure has been busy lately. With this and Pikmin as support with Nintendo, it getting back into developing fighting games fully with DNF and Nen Impact, and I guess even now working with Capcom again with the MvC Collection. Hopefully It means that they're getting into the mood into developing more major titles in the future
I would say this is easily the Direct's best 3rd party announcement, or is possibly even the best announcement as a whole. I was so hyped to not only see these back but also it coming to Switch. I'm gonna be playing the hell out of these, and I hope the Switch version has lots of players to play against for a long while!
I'm very much anticipating this game. It just has the sense of speed and style that is only in Sega and Namco's classic racers so I know I'm gonna love it. Idk what it is for me, if it's the way the camera shifts when drifting or if it's the white speed lines passing by making everything just look all the more faster, but I bet that it's gonna be the perfect Sega homage compared to some other games that have tried that style but just don't seem to be quite there for me
@Vyacheslav333 Well making an account is pretty easy honestly! Just download the app or make an account online in your browser and you can message either way!
@Vyacheslav333 Lmao dude if you have so many question do you wanna just talk on Discord? Then we can talk whenever you want lol. Tag name is jace1039 if you do wish to do so lol
I think some good questions would be: *What determines for you a game or genre that do or don't buy on Switch? *How often do you use the NSO Classic Game apps? *What determines if you buy physical or not? *Do you always play a wide variety of games? Or just a select few? *Have you ever wanted to sell your Switch? Why or Why Not? *Opinions on limited physical game producers? (LGR, Super Rare Games, Strictly Limited, Premium Edition Games) And lastly, *Are still happy and enjoying your Switch 7 years in? Or have you stopped playing it waiting to the next system?
The Amico can finally come out now that they actually have people that have actually distributed a console (no matter what your opinion on the modern Atari VCS)
Honestly this sounds like a really smart acquisition. I bet having Shiver on their side following MK11 and Hogwarts Legacy obviously shows that they're gonna have Shiver help to work with other third-parties to help get their games on Switch and other consoles, probably so that Nintendo can have as many third-parties bringing ports of the biggest games to Switch no matter what. Interesting to see what they'll be doing next with Nintendo at the helm
I'm very excited this is coming to Switch because I've been wanting to try out the series at some. Honestly surprised people here are turned off from the game though, considering I've only seen praise for it, I guess to be fair the Switch trailer didn't have the as amazing music as the announcement trailer did lol
I'm really glad that the Deluxe Edition actually comes with a cart. I was worried when I first saw it that it was going to be like the Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon release
@Vyacheslav333 Well like it has content, but it isn't substantial content or isn't unique enough for it to be super noteworthy, at least for me personally. Like BBCF on Switch is one that has great single player content, because it's large, unique, and infinitely fun beyond just the gameplay itself.
@Vyacheslav333 Yeah I did see that. Not really picking any games up rn because I got a huge backlog of games to go through (and a lot of other fighters I already have and want to practice), but even then if I did want to pick it up, I would need you to play with me lmao. Because I know it don't got single player content and idk how many people are still playing online
I would like to be able to keep my Joy Cons in order to play multiplayer with full controllers right away because if this thing is backwards compatible and a lot of games just require the same inputs the Joy Con has, then that just means I have a lot more controllers to use like how the Wii U used all Wii accessories for instant multiplayer
This is literally so hard to think up because there's literally endless possibilities for the Gold Master series but the fact there's so many stories in the world of video games that need to be told it's hard to know where to start. I personally think that maybe doing a game that has a focus on some Japan only computer games from the MSX or Sharp X6800 that are super influential but the western gaming world have no context for. As for DE making a huge company or series celebration title for the Gold Master Series, I would be really hoping for something like Hudson Soft, Konami, or Midway. I feel like they're super important to the early days of video games and laid many different foundations for quality and standards in the video game industry, but they all might be hard to get based on if any of them don't think a collection like that is unviable
@Itachi2099 Lmao my same thought dude. Considering the one Saudi game fund is not only the new owners of SNK, but also have a roughly 5-10% stake in Nintendo, and were able to put Terry in Smash to specifically rep Fatal Fury, I feel like they have to be having worked on for Nintendo's next system, which would be awesome because if this was a launch title, I think this would be my game to pick up lmao
Makes sense to just have Stories 1 on card instead of forking out for both when 2 already had the cart release. It's not like the Mega Man and Resident Evil collections where the bigger game that had no Nintendo physical gets the code
I played the demo and yeah it was very fun but it just lacks polish on Switch where it should be completely fine. I still have no idea why some devs or publishers don't prioritize the Switch version, even when its obvious that the Switch version is going to do the best of all of the versions. Many devs just work too high up and work back down for Switch, when they obviously should work from the ground up and move it up to the other more powerful systems. I'll most likely just get it elsewhere on sale unless the Switch version gets patched to fix the bugs
I only do digital unless I'm getting a significantly better deal than a physical copy or if it's basically the only easy way to get a game. Otherwise I'm still more receptive towards physical, because the thought of spending full price on a simple download just has never been right in my mind. If I'm paying $60 for a game, I need to make sure I have it on disc
I'm really excited to try this out. It just seems like the most pleasant little game and I'm all here for it after going Sunsoft crazy with Gimmick's and Trip World's return
It's pretty cool that this game is coming home, but man it feels weird considering the series moved away from the 2012 series a long while ago. Raw Thrills is always neat considering they're the last major American arcade game producer that makes actual video games
It taking place in Kalos is cool but I really hope that Pokemon Company invested in getting Game Freak a support studio because considering they just finished the Scarlet and Violet DLC, this could turn into a whole other fiasco when Game Freak just doesn't have the needed time or man power alone
I feel like Psychonauts would be a great series to make the jump. Like its a 3D platformer that has lots of quirky characters. That is literally made for Switch and definitely not in any Xbox wheel house like Hi Fi Rush in terms of tone and style of game. Also Killer Instinct 2013 would be great to come over as well. I have a feeling the fact it was an early Xbox One title that they could probably get a really solid version on Switch quite easily with a bit of time investment
@Dizavid Dude chill it's not like its that serious. Like if it comes it'll be awesome but I just don't expect it to happen ever. Plus I actually quite dislike people suffering in something like fighting games. I like to try and teach people the best I can so they can be more easily understood and enjoyed. My name is just a fact that I kinda suck at them
Surprising both of these are coming so soon, especially considering Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush had more official mention and info that 100% confirmed they were jumping ship, but hey both of these games are seeming great as well. Pentiment seems more up my alley so I'll have to maybe check it out in the future
I love Vanillaware's games and style a lot so I'll definitely be checking out this demo. I might just delete my save file since I don't get to buying games right away so I'll probably forget where I am, but I'll definitely play to get a feel for the combat
Honestly the fact that people are still begging and getting their hopes crushed when Nintendo very clearly isn't ever going to bring it to the U.S. is hilarious.
I don't even care anymore man. These rumors just make the wait worse because we keep getting pulled in a million different directions. I'm just gonna want to wait until Nintendo actually shows it
I'm so excited for this game. It looks like such a lovely game, and its awesome to see an actual in-house Sunsoft project, and its looking like the usual masterpieces they made back in the NES days. Hopefully I can get a physical at some point, but if not I'm more than willing to pay over my usual purchasing limit for digital games of $20 for this
@Vyacheslav333 I mean, I think you should be playing online honestly. I bet it will help everyone keep playing the game more, which helps for Switch since the amount of people buying and playing it is gonna be much less than people on PS and PC. Plus most anime fighters aren't usually the best at single player content, and I say this as someone who values said content a lot. Games like BB are unfortunately an anomaly, because to me Chronicles didn't really feel like good single player content to me, it was just another visual novel slapped on top of a fighting game, one that you didn't really even get to play in said mode.
@imadeanaccount Funnily enough, the similarities are honestly just a coincidence considering French-Bread and Arc Sys simply happen to have very similarly styled sprites
I hope UNI 2 is successful. The original is very fun and this is seeming to be a great upgrade from the original, so I can only hope that this game sells well. And cross-play. This game needs cross-play solely because of the fact of this Switch version lol
Man I'm glad its finally coming soon! I finally played Lilac's campaign for the first time a few years back on Wii U and really enjoyed it! Felt more so like if Treasure made a game with Sonic-like elements, which I think makes Freedom Planet a lot more memorable and notable compared to if it was structured and played exactly like a Sonic title. I can't wait to see how the gameplay and story evolved since the first game, and I remember the PC version getting good reviews so this is definitely on my radar.
Honestly, I think Europe wins this one. Japan's is nice but it feels like Samus is placed a little weird in framing to make it amazing. The black box styled original US art is very iconic solely because its the one that we all see people use and its very recognizable, but I think Metroid is one of those games that is slightly dampered by the style like Clu Clu Land and Kid Icarus with how more out there and expressive the art should be to help communicate their characteristics. Iconic but not my favorite choice. Not the classic series design is weird for me because I always have see that label used for the game but thought it looked off and was some weird regional varient, but now that I see it in full, I'm even more mixed, because now Samus is front and center in a well placed pose, like she should be, but it just looks like Metroid 2's art copied here with none of the amazing background art of Metroid 2. And then all of the taglines and banners kill it for me. It's just too much and clutters the space when Metroid isn't that type of series. Really mixed on that one. But then Europe? Mwah. I have never seen it before but my goodness this is some fantastic art. The iconic silver boarder is here of the American art but the actual art on the inside is immaculate. Samus just standing in the dimly lit hallway with Chozo holograms showing where you are exploring has a history and secrets and the design is perfect showing the lonely and dim atmosphere throughout the game. And then Samus is standing defiantly in the center, looking determined and ready to explore is amazing. Everything just comes together right with this art that makes it perfect for appealing to people just seeing the art to convince them of their purchase to convay what the game is like with needing to obstruct the art or make it more dull and generic, while keeping the core of what makes Metroid special and is just amazing to look at
