This game is easily worth the price during its usual sales. Less than $1-2 USD is a steal for a game that provides a lot of fun during multiplayer sessions.
Loot grind is definitely not a good way to explain a full adventure mode. That being said, the footage we have seen so far suggests that this will be performed in a way that isn’t tedious.
While I do advocate the addition of DLC characters to the roster and am trying to contain the hype for PP, this statement leads me to believe that getting the DLC will unbalance the game or just be picks coming out of nowhere. I’m still hoping for the latter, but I really am not sure if that is the case anymore.
Given the recent partnerships between Ubisoft and Nintendo, I could definitely see this happening. Just wouldn’t expect anything more than the numbered entries with large downloads.
Always great to see one of Double Fine’s games break the top 3, which is made even better by the fact that it is a remaster of one of the studio’s classics.
@LittleLion The fighters and spirits can be extremely similar, but are never the same. For example, Wii Fit Trainer has a spirit, yet it is in a specific pose.
@Ttimer5 @DarthNocturnal I can tell you with certainty that these tracks will all be uploaded to SoundCloud and YouTube only about a month after they come out. Other than that, you can still import the CD and put it in an MP3 or something like that.
@BlueOcean It really is a great song, sucks that it is underused just because there are very few situations where it fits. It’s definitely one of the best songs in the Sonic series.
@Silly_G Do they not have GameStop physical exclusives at EBGames or are they just deciding not to release it in AU? Both are pretty awful, but the latter is just weird.
@Denoloco Phrase of the day: Did you know that there is such a thing as an opinion and people can do what they want to do, even buy a game on a different console?
So this is one of those “playable experiences” (my definition: a game with realistic scenery and a great amount of narrative, but not much gameplay) rather than a traditional video game, correct?
Who thought this would be a good idea? Party crashes already weren’t that popular, but now they are creating an even smaller attendance because of its release date.
@Joshiro Was just wondering since one of the pages your team was shown as following had a banner of the Sushikarp design, so I just assumed they might be one of your team members.
@XenoShaun They did close down Pure Xbox, but OX and Eurogamer are still part of the Gamer Network. The big difference between NL/PS and other parts of the Gamer Network is really just formatting and features.
@LetsGoSwitch Nintendolife, Outside Xbox, and Push Square are all part of the Gamer Network. It’s just that some of the staff at Push Square isn’t great and OX is not really popular.
Most interested in the Junior’s Minions section, but that only seems like it will be a fraction of the game’s play value. After you play BIS, the magic from the first playthrough turns into the “where is the next bean/ other collectible” game.
@retro_player_22 It appears that Nintendo co-owns the Fatal Frame franchise w/ Koei Tecmo, so it’s unlikely that it would be FF since the game is cross platform.
Ouch, high price for something that seems like ARMS, Wii Fit, and Rhythm Heaven combined. The thing is that these games are very unalike and are better separately.
@The-Chosen-one That’s actually a good idea. A Subspace Emissary-like story with themed characters in each stage (though I probably shouldn’t take that remark seriously, since it’s not exclusive to Switch, but still a good idea).
It’s best not to get hopes up for Ninja Gaiden. It lives on through the Messenger, with Koei Tecmo now mainly focusing on the Warriors Franchise. (I think I may have unintentionally peeved some people off with this comment…)
The final product will look something like this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=g9ZVWMPuZ2c
Seriously though, I hope this project finally gets completed, since it’s the closest thing to a new Castlevania game that is done right.
Would have been much better if the costumes had the features of the characters other than hairstyle and clothing (even though that’s more of a skin) so they could actually look like the anime counterparts.

For those in the EU that have tried the Fitness Boxing demo, is it good or just Switch Fit?

I’m going to be playing some Super Mario Party with friends. Already tried out the mini games this morning and so far, it’s been a barrel of fun.

Even if this results in a gap of quality games for Spring 2019, there are enough games releasing just in December that have great play values.

All of these are way too cool for school. Pacmon is probably the most creative, though.

Re: Koei Tecmo Is Announcing A New Nintendo Switch Game On 6th December
@PrincessBowsette Makes sense, notably because they’ve already started doing this, as Ninja Gaiden 1 is part of the NSO NES game lineup.
