@SwitchVogel Completely disagree, in your example if you give 9 to that game it means that it's an amazing game on that genre and while some people might disagree if you are doing your job right and know about how to review a game then that people are gonna be on the minority but still understand why you give it a 9. I think the real problem is bad reviewers and bad score system because they are afraid of people criticizing the reviews, I also think people tend to forget that it suppose to be a professional review without any bias and not just personal feelings if that was the case then anyone can be a reviewer and I would give Zelda BoTW a 0 because I don't like it because it's my personal opinion (just an example)
Short answer YES Long answer yes we still need and always will need scores The real question will be do we have good reviews that are professional and not full of bias and what not
Horrible bundle you might as well buy a Switch by itself and use the rest for a good game like Zelda or Mario, I'm glad that people finally opened their eyes and say the true about 1-2 Switch that it's nothing more than a tech demo that should have been bundled with the console since the beginning, as for Mario tennis it's just an average game that they are trying to sell for 60 nothing more
@GrailUK Castlevania as a franchise is amazing no doubt about it, but Simon Belmont is only iconic for old timers since the protagonist of each game is different, sometimes is not even a Belmont for example my first castlevania was circle of the moon and I play with Nathan Graves, while Rayman is more like an iconic mascot and the newest games in my opinion are one of the best 2D platformer of all time up to the level of Mario
I'm glad they announced King K. Rool, Chrom and Dark Samus as Echo Fighters but hopefully that green box is the equivalent of Subspace Emissary. And I don't know if it's just me but I don't like to see some characters in there it's like they don't truly fit with smash, I would replace some characters with others to make the game perfect like Cloud - Sora Snake - Bomberman Simon Belmont - Rayman Bayonetta - Crash Bandicoot To me this way the third party characters are more iconic and for the first time facing each other like Mario vs Sonic but of course it's wishful thinking
@DannyBoi Well they're still selling Nes and Snes classics so for them if you want retro games you should buy a classic console and maybe they are gonna release a N64 classic later (I buy a N64 classic though lol)
@gauthieryannick I think you are confusing SD card with Cloud saves, save backups of my own games to an SD card in case something happens to my console especially since it's a handheld console it's important and something that can be done without the company charging me unless you think otherwise, now save Cloud backups requires internet and I can understand if they charge you for it, what I'm saying is that Nintendo won't let you save to an SD leaving you with the cloud saves
"Save Data Cloud backup in compatible games" So it doesn't work with all games and yet people don't care that they don't let you save backup your games to an SD something that actually should be Free btw
😐Looking at the comments (not just here) I can tell that a lot of Switch owners don't care about the game because of the graphics, I feel like Capcom should've release this game last year on the 3DS where the true fans were waiting for G rank and didn't care about just graphics and more on gameplay, honestly I'm still a little salty that they took forever to localize it only to later decide to release it only on Switch and not the 3DS, oh well now I don't mind since I play MHW and it's amazing especially with the new DLC crossover Behemoth
Ok who in there right mind would buy Labo a cardboard toy instead of any other game like let's say Kirby Star Allies while not the best game at least it's a game and not a cardboard toy
Things must be very bad for Switch when you read a review of a 3DS Compilation game and the reviewer port begs the game to switch even when he knows it's not possible, I guess he is the the start of a long chain of port begging comments like always. 😉 Anyways glad to know that the game indeed has new mini games I was hesitant because of that, but now I gonna get it as soon as possible I love WarioWare games
@RailX Sorry dude but I agree with @ReaderRagfish almost all the good games that you mention are available on PS4 I don't see the value of a PSVita other than portability. In my opinion Sony is the way to go for consoles and Nintendo for handhelds but with the Switch horrible battery and other issues Nintendo it's loosing track on where they were the kings, the handheld market
@NoxAeturnus Agree this game is not for the kids or Go players is for the Genwunners, Pokémon is not a game that needs to be easier only Genwunners think that Pokémon is hard and way too complex to them but in reality anyone who has truly play a recent game knows that Pokémon is a game that can be play as a casual or hardcore if you so desire
Etrian Odyssey without a second screen it's not gonna have a mapping system, otherwise it's gonna feel tack on switching between screens to draw the map it's not gonna feel natural so this franchise it's gonna loose the Key feature that is well known for, but I'm optimistic to see the evolution of the franchise time will tell if it fall into a generic dungeon crawlers or evolves into something better
@Spectra Wow, I'm not trying to belittle your opinion I just find it funny that's all, in my opinion all generations have good and bad designs but you got to keep one thing in mind art styles evolve throughout times and the original designs are basic for a lot of reasons, as time goes basic designs are not attractive anymore and need more detail, I just think people are way too nostalgic especially genwunners with the originals and they never accept nothing new because to them it doesn't look the same, which too me it's not true, and all Pokémon at least to me still look basic and part of the series even the ultra beast don't look out of place but anyway sorry if I sounded offensive
@Gs69 Well the pay service it's all thanks to Microsoft and the sheep player base of the Xbone community that started to pay for online obviously Sony and now Nintendo saw the potential of more money and here we are
@DannyBoi 💯 agree with you, not having the ability to save backup your games to an SD and only offering cloud saves behind a paywall it's the most anti consumer thing ever
@Gs69 Wrong you get more than that just this year so far I got bloodborne, ratchet and clank, Rayman legends, Rime, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, heavy rain and more no matters what you say those are top quality games not only that you get access to amazing deals that are gonna save you a lot of money
And btw not always you have to pay 60 you can find it for cheap elsewhere or they themselves lower the subscription during certain times like a month ago
Only Nintendo can get away with a preorder for an online subscription that force VC to be behind a paywall, the only way to save your games and not to mention not explaining how the VC console truly works
So they wasted their time and resources releasing Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS a game that no one ask for instead of releasing Treasurenauts a game that everyone was waiting for and now they wonder what when wrong and claiming that the 3DS was never a good market place for the game this guy is a joke
@zool I don't think Sony it's going to release PS5 next year but I do recommend you to buy a PS4 now it's the perfect moment to buy one and get a lot of the best quality games for 20 or less including all indies that switch it's getting for less of what you would pay on switch and some ports that Switch its getting like wolfenstein 2 are cheaper too meaning that you can save money for even more games
I'm glad the 3DS it's getting at least one Wario game but I would like to know how many of this are actually new mini games or all of them are returning mini games
Day One I knew this game was a nice little gem from the Wii U and since it used the touchscreen it would make more sense on the 3DS than the Switch especially with the 3D feature
@TheMisterManGuy I'm not saying they have to copy paste the same UI just take notes and make it better and I was with you until you say the Switch UI is better 🤣 how can a barebones UI that offers nothing can be better to the fully upgraded PS4 UI it's like saying you like a dollar hamburger that has only the basic stuff compare to a complete and fully make hamburger that has triple or more stuff but saying you don't like it because it has to much for you
@TheMisterManGuy The live feed info only appears if you go deep into an specific game it's not on the main menu but I can agree with you that it's not necessary and also this is a mock-up design base on the PS4 because that's what the Switch is based on Nintendo just need to follow this feedback and add that Nintendo touch I just find hilarious that people hate the PS4 UI when the Switch uses the same UI but more barebones
@TheMisterManGuy Well if to you social features are useless it's fine just ignore them and don't use them simple as that but not everyone thinks the same as you there is a reason why PS4 and Xbone have this kind of features and you realize that the Switch UI it's basically the PS4 UI but basic and barebones
Lol everyone hating on the PS4 UI because it's too busy or cluttered no wonder why Nintendo Switch UI it's empty and soulless this is more like an example of what most people want like trophies/achievements, folders, themes and I would love the return of activity log from the 3DS

Re: Poor Old Wario Had Just Two Days To Top The NPD Game Charts In July
