He-Man would be best as a Fire Emblem style or straight up RPG. Start as Prince Adam, work your way up to He-Man, have some break offs of teams or characters, lots of generic baddies to fight, lots of boss options. Maybe I need to win the lotto and buy the rights
Personally, I really hope they take a chance on q more expensive story mode. Both games had great levels and were fun but feels like it could be a lot more. Totally realizing this is a multi player game but I think the solo could be epic
I've worked for fantastic organizations with great leadership, yet multiple people would say otherwise in very harsh terms that management had "no clue" and our culture was horrific. The one would even claim abusive. I can't claim to have their experience so maybe that is true but not from my perspective so articles like this, hopefully will lead MS to grow and adjust their approaches, but can just as easily be a few people that just didn't like their job?
I've also worked for some poor managers and felt that way before. Personal relationships are challenging and not everyone mixes. The hope is always that that this leads to a better run company overall, but that needs specific examples, constructive criticisms, and a willingness for both management and staff to want change.
The truth is usually somewhere in the middle and seems to be the case here
Unless we opt for a 3rd Switch, I won't be purchasing this as we play mostly in docked mode unless someone is using it for YouTube away from a TV. Glad to hear it has some improvements though. Hopefully Switch 2 continues those trends in a couple years
My only real gripe was that I dont play handheld so from that stand point I didn't need a hybrid........but taking it on flights is a nice perk. It's had great games, it isn't horribly priced, and it gets used way more than our xbox. We actually had to buy a 2nd and I'm considering a 3rd at this point as I never seem to be able to find it not being used on the rare chance I actually have time to play. The XBox gets used for a 3rd minecraft machine if we are all playing together and for fortnite or roblox......other than that my kids spend way more time on the Switch. I hope Nintendo continues the Switch line next generation
PS5 will finally pass 1 million in Japan next week. I know it is selling great, despite shortages of parts etc. I wonder how concerned Sony is at the lack of sales in Japan?
Hoping we get some info on upcoming games for the Switch soon. A few games are on my radar upcoming but nothing I'm extremely excited about. Hoping for some announcements that get me excited for the winter and beyond
Do they have the ability to make a new wrestling game with the gameplay of the old THQ N64 games. Probably not realistic, but it's been a long time since I've like a wrestling game and RetroMania just wasn't what I was hoping for.
Timesplitters would be amazing. I'd be happy with remaster of TimeSplitters 2
My boys love Labyrinth and I was kinda excited for this until I seen it. The tokens should be characters and the spots should be mario related power ups and treasures. This is an ugly cheaper looking version of the original. But this game is fun for the family, just disappointed in what feels like a lack of effort
$15 would have been cheap for a calculator at one time..........having an actual game to it adds some intrigue but not on my Switch and not for $15. Maybe $2 on my phone if it didn't have a free calculator already?
I would really like to know the sales numbers of the original calculator and how this new battle stacks up comparably........I'm thinking 100 sold copies might be a high estimate.
Not amazing but still well done with lots of surprises. I would have like at least 1 more new......new game and I was hoping for the long fabled FE Path of Radiance remakes.......but still lots of entertainment coming my way
Games are fun, and while I have games I'm very good at, my kids wipe the floor with me on the newer games like Fortnite. I'm still proud of my 271 lines in NES Tetris though!
Wonder if the new dock info from rumored data mining is a switch lite dock? I might buy a 3rd Switch if that were true......of course I just made up that rumor so?
Anyone know if RetroMania Wrestling released the other day. Guess I should just go on the eshop and look. Loved WrestleFest as a kid so might pick up that if it is available now.
Monster Hunter Rise is interesting to me. I played Monster Hunter 3 on Wii and it was fun but I didn't get into it a lot but I'm willing to give it another go. Mario Golf I will buy around the release. I'm going to try Project Triangle later today and purchased all the Capcom arcade games cause.....well I'm a kid of the 90's and I moved the arcade. Hoping for a Mario like Zelda anniversary collection later in 2021 and maybe a Fire Emblem remake. 3 Houses had been played enough, I need a new one, or a new old one?
My expectations are low, I'm always hoping for a good surprise or 2 and a few games to be excited about. Project Triangle was a great surprise and I always enjoy Mario golf games so expectations met! Beyond that it was nice to see a Direct again. It felt normal when little feels normal lately so I thought it was great. Can't wait to play the demo for project triangle and will buy Mario Golf when it releases.
I wonder how bad the supply issue is for PS5 to Japan? I know there were concerns but less then 225K sold over the first 2 months of a console's life has to be alarming. Maybe they are selling millions around the world and Japan is being given less stock because the money is easier to be made elsewhere but wow.
It's fun, especially in groups. We play 6-10 players with the kids and their friends and a video chat open in the middle of the room. Mostly I enjoy listening to them all scream about how they couldn't be the imposter. I enjoy it on switch because of the controller and screen size.....better than my phone anyway and worth the $5
As an investor in Nintendo this is good news for my portfolio. I'm hoping they split shares. The little I have invested though doesn't mean a whole lot in short term. Hoping maybe in 25 years it will be a nice boost to retirement
Maybe a Zelda Allstars? Not exactly sure what 3 games you'd include, but I'm sure OoT, MM and a 3rd could be figured out. Of course the cheap and quick way would be to repackage the Wii U WW, TP with Oot and mimic the Mario Allstars release
I'm just waiting on a really old Fire Emblem game to land on Switch in 2 weeks. Maybe I should go back and play the DLC from 3 Houses......never did start that up
Next game they will have bags on their heads and will be trying to drink away their regret of being a life long Lion's fan.......trust me I've been there!
Seriously, nice to see the Lion's have a little fun with this. Might as well throw in a Waldo somewhere and find some more famous characters to throw in
No Mercy is the height of console wrestling games and I don't understand how someone hasn't replicated it yet for a newer system. Instead the wrestling gets seem to get prettier but worse to play
6 out of 8.........I did guess Lemmy for everyone that had tall hair.........of course he was the last one.
I didn't think I'd do that well.......I've defeated them all enough but never paid much attention.......But my boys are big fans and use them a lot on Smash so maybe their knowledge is rubbing off on me
Probably more difficult when staff is working from home and release dates unknown and changing. I'm ok with random drops all summer though. Hopefully there are a lot of surprises in store for the next few months.
I feel like I'm the only one who has little to no issues with Nintendo online? Maybe it is because I don't play online very much and I am more of the IT person for the kids gaming sessions but Nintendo has very few issues but the XBox......it's always down, or slow & struggling, or something. My kids regularly play Smash, Kart, Minecraft, and Fortnite though with very few issues or hiccups. Experiences vary I guess.
Quarantine and shelter in place is giving Fortnite a boost if anything.....kids are bored and they play 7000 different mini games in creative mode in between matches with their friends
Ordered it already. This is a great family game that I'm sure will get lots of play over the course of the year. Especially if the pandemic lasts into june and beyond
@Wazeddie22 - as I was watching the direct I was hoping, available now, for the 51 world games........hopefully by June we won't need it as much but still looks like some fun

Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?

1 - Radiant Dawn
2 - Final Fantasy
3 - BotW
4 - Time Splitters 2
5 - MVP 05

Re: Feature: What Does Nintendo Have Planned For Zelda’s 35th Anniversary?
